〇Experimental Condition
Transfection of Parkin plasmid to HeLa cells
HileyMax (H357) was used to transfect Parkin plasmid to HeLa cells (Parkin plasmid/HilyMax reagent: 0.1μg/0.2 μL) by incubating overnight.
Detection of Mitophagy
1. Add 0.1 μmol/L Mtphagy working solution to Parkin expressing HeLa cells and incubated for 30 minutes at 37 ℃
2. Wash cells with HBSS
3. Add 10 μg/mL CCCP/MEM solution and inclubate for 2 hours at 37 ℃
4. Observe under fluorescence microscope
Detection of Mitochondrial Membrane Potential
1. Add 10 μg/mL CCCP/MEM solution to Parkin expressing HeLa cells and incubate for 1.5 hours at 37 ℃
2. Add 4 μmol/L JC-1 working solution (final concentration: 2 μmol/L) and incubate for 30 minutes at 37 ℃
3. Wash with HBSS and add Imaging Buffer Solution.
4. Observe under fluorescence microscope
