      Intended useThe Cytochrome c Release Apoptosis Assay Kit provides a unique combination of reagents useful for the isolation of a highly enriched mitochondrial fraction from the cytosol that can be used to detect cytochrome c by Western blotting.
      BackgroundCytochrome c plays an important role in apoptosis. The protein is located in the space between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes. An apoptotic stimulus triggers the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria into cytosol where it binds to Apaf-1. The cytochrome c/Apaf-1 complex activates caspase-9, which then activates caspase-3 and other downstream caspases. The Cytochrome c Releasing Apoptosis Assay Kit provides an effective means for detecting cytochrome c translocation from mitochondria into cytosol during apoptosis. The kit provides unique formulations of reagents to isolate a highly enriched mitochondria fraction from cytosol. The procedure is simple and easy to perform, no ultracentrifuging is required and no toxic chemicals are involved. Cytochrome c releasing from mitochondria into cytosol is then determined by Western Blotting using cytochrome c antibody provided in the kit.
      Principles of the assayThe Cytochrome c Release Apoptosis Assay Kit provides a unique combination of reagents useful for the isolation of a highly enriched mitochondrial fraction from the cytosol. Cells are subjected to an apoptotic stimulus (or left unstimulated) and extracted using the provided extraction buffers. The translocation of cytochrome c from the mitochondrial fraction to the cytosol is then monitored by immunoblotting with the cytochrome c antibody provided with the kit.
      Materials provided• Mitochondria Extraction Buffer (Kit Component No. JA5200-10ML): 1 bottle, 10 ml
      • 5X Cytosol Extraction Buffer (Kit Component No. JA5201-20ML): 1 bottle, 20 ml

      Materials Required but not provided• DMSO
      • PBS
      Precautions and recommendations• Read the entire protocol before beginning the procedure.
      • Be sure to keep all buffers on ice at all times during the experiment.
      Reagent preparation• 1X Cytosol Extraction Buffer: Prepare 1X Cytosol Extraction Buffer by adding the 20 ml 5X Cytosol Extraction Buffer to 80 ml diH2O; mix well. • Mitochondria Extraction Buffer Mix: Just prior to performing the assay, prepare enough Mitochondria Extraction Buffer Mix for the number of samples to be assayed; each sample requires 0.1 ml of the mix. To prepare 1 ml Mitochondria Extraction Buffer Mix, add 2 µl 500X Protease Inhibitor Cocktail and 1 µl DTT to 1 ml Mitochondria Extraction Buffer; mix well. • Cytosol Extraction Buffer Mix: Just prior to performing the assay, prepare enough Cytosol Buffer Mix for the number of samples to be assayed; each sample requires 1 ml of the mix. To prepare 1 ml Cytosol Extraction Buffer Mix, add 2 µl 500X Protease Inhibitor Cocktail and 1 µl DTT to 1 ml Cytosol Extraction Buffer; mix well.
      Detailed protocol1. Induce apoptosis in cells by desired method. Concurrently incubate a control culture without induction.
      2. Collect cells (5 x 107) by centrifugation at 600 x g for 5 min at 4°C.
      3. Wash cells with 10 ml ice-cold PBS. Centrifuge at 600 x g for 5 min at 4°C. Remove supernatant.
      4. Resuspend cells with 1 ml Cytosol Extraction Buffer Mix.
      5. Incubate on ice for 10 min.
      6. Homogenize cells in an ice-cold tissue grinder. Perform the task with the grinder on ice. 30-50 passes with the grinder are recommended; however, efficient homogenization may depend on the cell type. Note: To check the efficiency of homogenization, pipette 2-3 µl of the homogenized suspension onto a coverslip and observe under a microscope. A shiny ring around the nuclei indicates that cells are still intact. If 70-80% of the nuclei do not have the shiny ring, proceed to step 7. Otherwise, perform 10-20 additional passes using the tissue grinder. Excessive homogenization should also be avoided, as it can cause damage to the mitochondrial membrane, which triggers release of mitochondrial components.
      7. Transfer the homogenate to a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube and centrifuge at 700 x g for 10 min at 4°C.
      8. Transfer supernatant to a fresh 1.5 ml tube and centrifuge at 10,000 x g for 30 min at 4°C.
      9. Collect supernatant as Cytosolic Fraction.
      10. Resuspend the pellet in 0.1 ml Mitochondrial Extraction Buffer Mix, vortex for 10 s, and save as Mitochondrial Fraction.
      11. Load 10 µg of each cytosolic and mitochondrial fraction isolated from each cell sample (i.e., induced cells and uninduced cells) on a 12% SDS-PAGE. Then proceed with standard immunoblot procedure and probe with Cytochrome c antibody (1 µg/ml is the recommended starting concentration).
