MITOCHONDRIAL TOXICITY Determine the Mechanism of Toxicity The Mitochondrial ToxGlo™ Assay is a cell-based assay that monitors mitochondrial toxicity based on differential measurement of biomarkers associated with changes in cell membrane integrity and cellular ATP levels relative to vehicle-treated controls. The assay is performed in a single-well, first by assessing membrane integrity using a fluorescent substrate then measuring ATP concentration, using a lytic bioluminescent ATP detection reagent. The bioluminescent signal is proportional to the amount of ATP present in living cells, and the fluorescent signal indicates loss of membrane integrity. The two sets of data are combined to produce profiles representative of mitochondrial dysfunction or nonmitochondrialrelated cytotoxic mechanisms.

Contact us enews | April 2015 Representative profiles of mitochondrial toxicity with the Mitochondrial ToxGlo™ Assay. K562 cells were plated at 10,000 cells/well in white 96-well plates (Costar®) and treated with serial dilutions of compounds resuspended in glucose-free (galactosesupplemented) RPMI 1640 media for 2 hours. Panel A shows no changes in ATP or membrane integrity (MI), which indicates that the compound is not a mitochondrial toxin. Panel B. The reduction in ATP with commensurate MI changes indicate that the compound is not a mitochondrial toxin; instead primary necrosis is taking place. Panel C. The reduction in ATP with no changes in MI indicates that the compound is a mitochondrial toxin. Panel D. The reduction in ATP with discordant changes in MI indicate that the compound is a mitochondrial toxin. Note: If a decrease in fluorescence, or both fluorescence and luminescence, are observed, it is typically due to color quenching interferences adversely affecting assay measures. If the cells are dosed in glucose-containing medium, compounds producing ATP-depletion effects should be counterscreened in galactose-containing medium to rule out inhibition of glycolysis.
