    In Vitro

    FCCP (5 μM) results in a concentration-dependent decrease in Aβ and APPsβ production in K695sw cells. FCCP inhibits processing of wild-type APP. FCCP does not alter cellular ATP levels at any of the concentrations measured. The effects of FCCP on APP catabolism are independent of secondary effects on oxidative phosphorylation or the result of reduced cell viability in K695sw cells. FCCP (5 μM or 500 nM), baf A1, and NH4Cl induce changes in Tf-Tx and Tf-F cellular fluorescence in K695 cells[1].
    FCCP (200 nM) protects and enhances the follicle integrity in cat ovarian tissue during short-term in vitro culture. But FCCP does not appear to exert a beneficial or detrimental effect during ovarian tissue cryopreservation[2].

    In Vivo:

    Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

    For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
    To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
    The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

    • Protocol 1

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

      Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (9.84 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic and warming

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

      Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
    • Protocol 2

      Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

      Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (9.84 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic and warming

      This protocol yields a suspended solution of 2.5 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

      Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

      Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    K695sw cells are maintained and exposed to vehicle or various concentrations of FCCP as mentioned above with the exception that cells are plated at a density of 20,000 cells per well in 96-well plates. Twenty-four hours after plating, cells are exposed to various treatments in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium supplemented with sodium pyruvate (1 mM). At the same time as drug exposures, YO-PRO (4 μM) is added to each well, and its uptake is quantified every 30 min for 1 day at 37°C using a Cytofluor 2350 fluorometric plate reader. As a positive control, all wells are exposed to 0.1% Triton X-100 at the end of the experiment[1].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
