    Description

    Mitoquinone mesylate is a TPP-based, mitochondrially targeted antioxidant in order to protect against oxidative damage[1].

    In Vitro

    Mitoquinone (MitoQ) is a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant.The optimal doses for Mitoquinone (MitoQ) and DecylTPP treatment are selected from dose-response experiments during 4-h cold storage (CS). The potential protective benefits of Mitoquinone treatment against CS injury are tested initially using MitoSOX Red, a mitochondrial-targeted fluorescent dye that measures mitochondrial superoxide generation. Normal rat kidney (NRK) cells exposed to CS result in a ~2-fold increase in fluorescence due to mitochondrial superoxide compared with untreated cells. Mitoquinone offers significant protection against CS-induced mitochondrial superoxide generation; whereas the control compound DecylTPP does not offer any protection. Mitoquinone treatment markedly decreases mitochondrial superoxide generation, whereas kidneys treated with DecylTPP have comparable levels of mitochondrial superoxide to kidneys exposed to CS alone[1].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    Mitoquinone (MitoQ) treatment significantly reduces pancreatic oedema and neutrophil infiltration. MitoQ dose-dependently increases serum amylase with an approximate doubling at the higher dose. MitoQ treatment nearly doubles lung MPO activity induced by Caerulein with a significant increase of serum IL-6 levels also evident at 10 mg/kg (dose 1)[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 (3.68 mM); Clear solution

      This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

      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 (3.68 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

      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.

    For the following dissolution methods, please prepare the working solution directly. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions and use them promptly within a short period of time.
    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.

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    Normal rat kidney proximal tubular cells (NRK-52E) are maintained in six-well 100 or 150-mm, or 150-mm plates in a humidified incubator gassed with 5% CO2 and 95% air at 37°C in DMEM containing 5% fetal calf serum (FCS). Cells are grown to 60% confluence and divided into four treatment groups: 1) untreated (Untx), 2) CS, 3) CS+Mitoquinone (MitoQ), and 4) CS+DecylTPP. Untreated cells remained at 37°C in DMEM containing 5% FCS (group 1). CS is initiated by washing cells with cold PBS twice and storing them in UW/Viaspan solution alone (4 h at 4°C) (group 2), CS+Mitoquinone (1 μM) (group 3), or CS+DecylTPP (1 μM) (group 4). In separate experiments, cells are exposed to CS plus RW by replacing UW solution alone or UW solution containing Mitoquinone or DecylTPP with DMEM containing 5% FCS overnight (18 h at 37°C)[1].

    Animal Administration
    [2]

    Mice[2]
    Male CD1 mice (30-35 g) or C57BL/6J mice (20-25 g) are used. Seven intraperitoneal injections of a supramaximal dose (50 μg/kg) of Caerulein, a CCK-8 analogue, are given on an hourly basis to induce hyperstimulation acute pancreatitis (CER-AP). Control mice receive equal volumes of PBS injection. In the Mitoquinone treatment groups, Mitoquinone at 10 mg/kg (dose 1) or 25 mg/kg (dose 2) is given at the first and third injections of Caerulein. Similarly, dTPP at 9.6 mg/kg (dose 1) or 24 mg/kg (dose 2) is given for the dTPP treatment group. Mitoquinone and dTPP are at the same molar concentration at doses 1 and 2. Mice are sacrificed at 12 h after the first Caerulein injection to collect samples. Bile acid-induced AP is achieved by retrograde infusion of TLCS into the pancreatic duct (TLCS-AP). After induction of anesthesia, TLCS applied using a mini infusion pump at a speed of 5 μL/min for 10 minutes. Successful infusion of TLCS into pancreas is demonstrated by a diffuse light blue colour (methylene blue) appearing in the pancreatic head. Control mice receive sham surgery without TLCS infusion. In the treatment groups, Mitoquinone (10 mg/kg) or dTPP (9.6 mg/kg) is given at 1 h and 3 h after TLCS infusion. Mice are sacrificed at 24 h after the TLCS infusion or sham surgery.

    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.
