DiOC5(3) (solution)
DiOC5(3) (solution) is a mitochondrial Fluorescent dye that alters membrane potential, and it also acts as an inhibitor of NADH-ubiquinone reductase (respiratory complex I). DiOC5(3) (solution) increases the NADH/NAD ratio and induces excessive production of ROS. DiOC5(3) (solution) induces Apoptosis. DiOC5(3) accumulates in the mitochondria of leukemia stem-like cells via organic anion-transporting polypeptides, specifically labels these cells, and inhibits their proliferation. DiOC5(3) (solution) enhances the cellular uptake of Hoechst 33342 (HY-15559), reduces Hoechst 33342-associated cytotoxicity, and improves the resolution of DNA content analysis by flow cytometry. DiOC5(3) (solution) shows no detectable fluorescence signal when excited in the 400-500 nm ultraviolet light range. DiOC5(3) (solution) is applicable to leukemia-related research.

In Vitro
DiOC5(3) (solution) (300 nM; 48 h) selectively stains and inhibits the proliferation of K562 ALDH+ leukemia stem-like cells with an IC50 of 0.29 μM. It exhibits lower potency against K562 ALDH- cells (IC50 0.68 μM) and exerts minimal toxicity to normal HUCB CD34+ progenitor cells, cells derived from zebrafish embryos, adult zebrafish blood cells, and developing zebrafish embryos[1].
DiOC5(3) (solution) (200 nM; 24 h) increases the NADH/NAD+ ratio in the mitochondria of K562 cells, elevates intracellular ROS levels, preferentially induces apoptosis in K562 ALDH+ leukemic stem-like cells, and simultaneously regulates the expression of CML-related genes, stem cell-associated genes, and anticancer genes[1].
DiOC5(3) (solution) (200 nM; 24 h) preferentially alters the expression of genes associated with key cellular processes in K562 ALDH+ leukemia stem-like cells, and exerts a subpopulation-specific effect on the NF-κB pathway[1].

Cell Line:human chronic myelogenic leukemia K562 ALDH+, K562 ALDH-, human umbilical cord blood (HUCB) CD34+ progenitor cells, zebrafish embryo-derived cells, adult zebrafish blood cells (ZBCs)
-
Concentration:300 nM
-
Incubation Time:48 h (300 nM treatment; zebrafish embryo treatment)
-
Result:Accumulated in K562 ALDH+ cells at a significantly higher rate than in K562 ALDH- and HUCB CD34+ cells (P < 0.01).
Suppressed K562 ALDH+ cell proliferation to a significantly greater degree than K562 ALDH- and HUCB CD34+ cells (P < 0.01), with a lower IC50 for ALDH+ cells than ALDH- cells (P < 0.05).
Exhibited higher cytotoxicity thresholds for non-cancer cells (ZBCs and HUCB CD34+ cells) compared to K562 cells.
Caused no death or phenotypic changes in zebrafish embryos treated from 48 hpf for 48 h, except for whole-body green-fluorescent staining.
-
Cell Line:K562 ALDH+, K562 ALDH-, isolated K562 cell mitochondria
-
Concentration:200 nM
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Significantly increased the NADH/NAD+ ratio in isolated K562 mitochondria (P < 0.05), indicating inhibition of NADH-ubiquinone reductase activity.
Increased ROS levels in both K562 ALDH+ and ALDH- subpopulations (P < 0.01), with a higher increase ratio in ALDH+ cells.
Increased apoptotic cells in both subpopulations (P < 0.01), with ALDH+ cells showing greater sensitivity (P < 0.01 vs.
ALDH- cells).
Downregulated expression of BCR-ABL, SIRT1, CD44, and CD133 (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05) and upregulated expression of TP53 and CDKN1A (P < 0.01) in both ALDH+ and ALDH- cells.
In Vivo
Exposure of normally developing zebrafish embryos to DiOC5(3) (solution) (1 μM) for 48 h does not show any developmental toxicity or lethality[1].

Animal Model:nacre/rose/fli1:egfp (48-hpf, xenotransplanted with human chronic myelogenic leukemia K562 ALDH+ putative leukemia stem-like cells into yolk sac)[1]
-
Dosage:0.5 μM (proliferation inhibition); 10 μM (selective staining and proliferation inhibition)
-
Administration:continuous exposure in E3 medium; 48 hours (0.5 μM); yolk sac injection; single dose (10 μM)
-
Result:Significantly inhibited proliferation of ALDH+ leukemia stem-like cells (P < 0.01 vs. control) with selective activity relative to ALDH- leukemia cells (P < 0.05).
Selectively stained ALDH+ cells 1 hour post-injection (DiOC5(3)/KOr fluorescence ratio was significantly higher in ALDH+ vs.
ALDH- xenografts, P < 0.01).
Caused a greater reduction in ALDH+ cell proliferation over 48 hours (P < 0.05 vs.
ALDH- cells).
Induced significant decreases in ALDH+ cell fluorescence observed at 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours post-injection (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 vs. 1 hour post-injection).
