TLDR
Data indicate that JC‐1 is a reliable probe for analyzing ΔΨ changes with flow cytometry, while the others show a lower sensitivity (R123), or a non‐coherent behaviour, due to a high sensitivity to changes in plasmamembrane potential [DiOC6(3].

The mitochondrial membrane potential (deltapsi(m)) in apoptosis; an update.

TL;DR: However, there are emerging data suggesting that, depending on the model of apoptosis, the loss of deltapsi(m) may not be an early requirement for apoptosis but on the contrary may be a consequence of the apoptotic-signaling pathway as mentioned in this paper.

Mitochondria and Neuronal Survival

TL;DR: The functional bioenergetics of isolated mitochondria are reviewed, with emphasis on the chemiosmotic proton circuit and the application (and occasional misapplication) of these principles to intact neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial membrane potential.

TL;DR: Additional potential mechanisms for which ΔΨm is essential for maintenance of cellular health and viability are proposed and recommendations how to accurately measure ΔΩm in a cell are provided and potential sources of artifacts are discussed.

Mitochondrial membrane potential probes and the proton gradient: a practical usage guide.

TL;DR: This review will help illustrate both the strengths and potential pitfalls of common mitochondrial membrane potential dyes, and highlight best-usage approaches for their efficacious application in life sciences research.

Mitochondria-Targeted Triphenylphosphonium-Based Compounds: Syntheses, Mechanisms of Action, and Therapeutic and Diagnostic Applications

TL;DR: The physicochemical basis for mitochondrial accumulation of lipophilic cations, synthetic chemistry strategies to target compounds to mitochondria, mitochondrial probes, and sensors, and examples of mitochondrial targeting of bioactive compounds are described.

Prevention of Apoptosis by Bcl-2: Release of Cytochrome c from Mitochondria Blocked

TL;DR: One possible role of Bcl-2 in prevention of apoptosis is to block cytochrome c release from mitochondria, which is normally located in the mitochondrial intermembrane space.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Release of Cytochrome c from Mitochondria: A Primary Site for Bcl-2 Regulation of Apoptosis

TL;DR: In a cell-free apoptosis system, mitochondria spontaneously released cytochrome c, which activated DEVD-specific caspases, leading to fodrin cleavage and apoptotic nuclear morphology, and Bcl-2 acts to inhibit cy tochrome c translocation, thereby blocking caspase activation and the apoptotic process.

Sequential reduction of mitochondrial transmembrane potential and generation of reactive oxygen species in early programmed cell death.

TL;DR: Assessment of mitochondrial ROS generation provides an accurate picture of PCD-mediated lymphocyte depletion and indicates alterations of mitochondrial function constitute an important feature of early PCD.

Localization of mitochondria in living cells with rhodamine 123

TL;DR: With the use of rhodamine 123, it is possible to detect alterations in mitochondrial distribution following transformation by Rous sarcoma virus and changes in the shape and organization of mitochondria induced by colchicine treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intracellular heterogeneity in mitochondrial membrane potentials revealed by a J-aggregate-forming lipophilic cation JC-1.

TL;DR: It is found that membrane potentials across mitochondria in a living cell can be heterogeneous, and even within a long contiguous mitochondrion, regional heterogeneity in membranes potentials appears to be possible.
