DiSC3(5) is a fluorescent probe widely used as a tracking dye to assess mitochondrial membrane potential.
Fluorescent Dyes: Chemicals that emit light after excitation by light. The wave length of the emitted light is usually longer than that of the incident light. Fluorochromes are substances that cause fluorescence in other substances, i.e., dyes used to mark or label other compounds with fluorescent tags.
Coloring Agents: Chemicals and substances that impart color including soluble dyes and insoluble pigments. They are used in INKS; PAINTS; and as INDICATORS AND REAGENTS.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
1. Preparation of DiSC3 (5) membrane staining solution:
1.1 Preparation of DMSO or EtOH stock solution: The stock solution should be prepared in DMSO or EtOH to a concentration of 1-5 mM.
Note 1): The unused portion of the stock solution should be stored at -20 ℃. Avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles.
1.2 Preparation of working solution: Dilute the stock solution into a suitable buffer solution, such as serum-free medium, HBSS, or PBS, to prepare a working solution of 1 to 5 uM.
Note 2): For different cell types and/or experimental conditions, the concentration of the working solution should be determined based on your specific needs.

2. Stain the cells into a suspension:
2.1 The cell density suspended in the dye working solution is 1 × 10~6/mL.
2.2 Incubate at 37 ° C for 2-20 minutes. The incubation time depends on the cell types. Firstly, incubate for 20 minutes, and then optimize as needed to obtain uniform labeling.
2.3 Centrifuge the marked suspension tube at 1000 to 1500rpm for 5 minutes.
2.4 Remove the supernatant and gently resuspend the cells in preheated (37 ° C) growth medium.
Wash twice according to steps 2.3 and 2.4.

3. Stained adherent cells:
3.1 Culture adherent cells on sterile glass coverslips.
3.2 Remove the cover glass from the growth medium and gently drain excess medium. Place the cover glass in the humidity chamber.
3.3 Transfer 100 μ L of dye working solution to the corner of a cover glass and gently stir until all cells are covered.
3.4 Incubate the cover glass at 37 ° C for 2-20 minutes. The cultivation time varies depending on the cell type. Start incubating for 20 minutes, then optimize as needed to obtain uniform labeling.
3.5 Discharge the dye working solution and clean the cover glass with growth medium two to three times. For each washing cycle, cover the cells with preheated growth medium, incubate for 5-10 minutes, and then drain the medium.

4. Microscopic examination.

5. Flow cytometry detection:
Cells labeled with DiS can be analyzed using a conventional FL3 flow cytometer.
Enzyme Assay
3,3'-Dipropyl-2,2'-thiadicarbocyanine iodide [DiS-C(3)(5)], often used as a tracer dye to assess the mitochondrial membrane potential, was investigated in detail regarding its effects on the structure and function of isolated mitochondria. As reported previously, DiS-C(3)(5) had an inhibitory effect on NADH-driven mitochondrial electron transfer. On the contrary, in the presence of inorganic phosphate, DiS-C(3)(5) showed dose-dependent biphasic effects on mitochondria energized by succinate. At higher concentrations, such as 50 micro m, DiS-C(3)(5) accelerated mitochondrial oxygen consumption. Measurements of the permeability of DiS-C(3)(5)-treated mitochondrial membranes to poly(ethylene glycol) and analysis of mitochondrial configuration by transmission electron microscopy revealed that the accelerating effect of DiS-C(3)(5) on mitochondrial oxygen consumption reflects the induction of the mitochondrial permeability transition (PT). When the mitochondrial PT was induced by DiS-C(3)(5), release of mitochondrial cytochrome c was observed, as in the case of the PT induced by Ca(2+). On the contrary, at a low concentration such as 5 micro m, DiS-C(3)(5) showed an inhibitory effect on the latent oxygen consumption by mitochondria. This effect was shown to reflect inhibition of the PT induced by a low concentration of Ca(2+). Furthermore, in the absence of inorganic phosphate, DiS-C(3)(5) caused mitochondrial swelling. Under this condition, DiS-C(3)(5) caused changes in the membrane status of the mitochondria, but did not induce a release of mitochondrial cytochrome c [1].

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
