Problems solved by technology

However, as a dye that can cross the mitochondrial membrane, exogenous addition of fluorescent dyes such as JC-1 has potential effects on mitochondria
At the same time, the current fluorescent imaging method for detecting mitochondrial membrane potential is not heritable, and it is difficult to observe the whole process of the disease as a whole

Embodiment 1

[0023] Embodiment 1, the acquisition of wild-type PINK1 gene and recombinant plasmid

[0024] The sequence of the human phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN)-induced kinase 1 (PTEN-inducedkinase1, PINK1) gene published on NCBI, as shown in SEQ ID NO.1 (Gene ID: 65018), using NCBI tools primerBLAST selects specific primers, and the specific primer sequences are as follows:

[0025] PINK1-F: gaattc atggcggtgcgacaggcgctgg (SEQ ID NO. 2);

[0026] PINK1-R: gcggccgc tcacagggctgccctccatgag (SEQ ID NO.3)

[0027] GAATTC (EcoR I restriction site) was added before the forward primer ATG, and gcggccgc (Not I restriction site) was added after the stop codon TGA of the reverse primer. The primers were synthesized by Beijing Huada Gene Technology Co., Ltd. Subsequently, PCR was used to amplify the wild-type PINK1 gene from the cDNA of HEK293T cells, and then the wild-type PINK1 gene was double-digested with restriction endonucleases EcoRI and Not I. At the same time, the restrictio...

Embodiment 2

[0028] Embodiment 2, the acquisition of red fluorescent protein gene and recombinant plasmid

[0029] The red fluorescent protein sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.4 was obtained from the plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)-RFP kept in the laboratory, and the sequence of the red fluorescent protein was added before the start codon ATG gcggccgcgg ccacc (Not I restriction site and Kozak sequence), add TCTAGA (XbaI restriction site) after the stop codon, design the corresponding primers, and the primers are synthesized by Beijing Huada Gene Technology Co., Ltd. The specific primer sequences are as follows:

[0030] mRFP-F: gcggccgc GGCCACCatggcctcctccgaggacgt (SEQ ID NO. 5);

[0031] mRFP-R: tctaga ttaggcgccggtggagtggc (SEQ ID NO. 6);

[0032] Subsequently, the red fluorescent protein gene was amplified from the plasmid pcDNA3.1(+)-RFP by PCR, and then the red fluorescent protein gene was double-digested with restriction endonucleases Not I and Xba I. Dicer Not I and Xba I were used to double-d...

Embodiment 3

[0033] Example 3, Detection of mitochondrial membrane potential heritable fluorescent probe gene and acquisition of recombinant plasmids

[0034]In order to retain the sensitivity of the PINK1 gene to changes in membrane potential and at the same time remove the ability of PINK1 to mediate mitophagy, the present invention removes the nucleotide sequence after 480 bp of the PINK1 gene (SEQ ID NO.1), that is, the PINK1 enzyme activity region and In the C-terminal region, the optimal PINK1 N-terminal nucleotide sequence that can respond to changes in mitochondrial membrane potential is screened from the remaining 1-480bp nucleotide sequences. By adding GAATTC (EcoR I restriction site) before the start codon ATG, and adding gcggccgc (Not I restriction site) after the PINK1 N-terminal sequence gene of different lengths, the primers were synthesized by Beijing Huada Gene Technology Co., Ltd. income. Subsequently, PINK1 N-terminal sequence genes of different lengths with restriction...

Abstract

The invention discloses a genetic fluorescent probe for detecting mitochondrial membrane potential and application thereof, the fluorescent probe is obtained by fusing a truncated fragment of a PINK1 gene and a fluorescent protein gene, and the most preferable truncated fragment of the PINK1 gene is 1-390bp of a wild type PINK1 gene sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO.1. The fluorescent probe provided by the invention has the advantages of simple preparation method, easiness in storage, low biotoxicity and the like; based on the genetic characteristic, the mitochondrial membrane potential probe is wide in application range, and the mitochondrial membrane potential of target cells, tissues, organs and even life bodies can be rapidly, sensitively and accurately measured in combination with the modern imaging technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of cell biology, and in particular relates to a heritable fluorescent probe for detecting mitochondrial membrane potential and its application. Background technique [0002] Mitochondria synthesize ATP by oxidizing the respiratory chain. In the oxidative respiratory chain, electrons are transferred from NADH, FADH2 hydrogen transferors to respiratory chain complexes, while protons are actively transported to the outside of the inner membrane. The electrochemical potential energy stored by the proton concentration gradient inside and outside the inner membrane and the transmembrane potential difference is the mitochondrial membrane potential, which plays a role in promoting protons to return to the inner mitochondrial membrane and promoting the synthesis of ATP by ATP synthase. [0003] The maintenance of mitochondrial membrane potential is necessary for the normal function of healthy mitochondria to maintain cellular...
