“…[1][2][3][4] Kidney tissue induces high levels of AF, and the intensity of AF has been used to assess severity of tubular necrosis 5 and the degree of damage in ischemic kidney. [6][7][8] However, AF is an obstacle to immunofluorescence (IF) analysis that can either mask or interfere with specific fluorescent signals, 9,10 especially those with weak IF labeling, including direct IF and multiple-color fluorescence staining. In addition to intrinsic fluorescence of kidney is AF that arises from the tissue-processing techniques, including fixation agents such as glutaraldehyde 11 and embedding material such as paraffin.…”

N Context.-Renal tissue emits intense autofluorescence, making it difficult to differentiate specific immunofluorescence signals and thus limiting its application to clinical biopsy material.Objective.-To identify and minimize autofluorescence of renal tissue and demonstrate a simple, efficient method to reduce autofluorescence using Sudan black B.Design.-In this study, the sources and features of autofluorescence emitted from kidney tissue were examined. Broad autofluorescence was visualized in both frozen and paraffin kidney sections of normal mice and mice with Adriamycin-induced nephropathy using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Autofluorescence appeared in commonly used 49,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, fluorescein isothiocyanate, and Texas Red channels but not in far-red channel, and emitted extensively from red cells, injured tubulointersitial cells, and protein casts in diseased kidney.To eliminate autofluorescence, Sudan black B was used on formaldehyde-fixed paraffin sections and frozen sections of mouse kidney. The effects of Sudan black B in various concentrations were tested on kidney tissue.Results.-The 0.1% Sudan black B effectively blocked autofluorescence from both paraffin and frozen sections without adversely affecting specific fluorescence signals. Interestingly, the solvent for Sudan black B, 70% ethanol, was also shown to reduce autofluorescence on frozen sections, but not on paraffin sections.Conclusions.-This study demonstrates a simple, efficient, and cost-effective method to reduce autofluorescence using Sudan black B, and also provides a comprehensive approach to identify and minimize autofluorescence of renal tissue.

“…Kidney mitochondria were prepared in 0.25 mol/l sucrose and 1 mmol/l ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid at pH 7.2 and 4°C using standard centrifugation procedures. Mitochondrial protein and mitochondrial respiratory function were measured as previously described [22] . Mitochondrial respiration was initiated by the addition of succinate (5 mmol/l final concentration) and oxidative phosphorylation by the addition of 200 mmol/l ADP.…”

“…Exposure to hypoxia leads to accumulation of highly reduced metabolic intermediates in mitochondria, which, upon reoxygenation, can result in a surge of ROS production and damage mitochondrial proteins, lipids and DNA (Piper et al, 2003;Sadek et al, 2003;Zenebe et al, 2007). The ROS-induced mitochondrial damage is critically involved in ischemia-reperfusion injury during stroke, infarction, and tissue and organ transplantation (Levraut et al, 2003;Piper et al, 2003;Sadek et al, 2002Sadek et al, , 2003Tirapelli et al, 2008). However, some animals such as diving birds and mammals or intertidal invertebrates can undergo frequent H/R cycles without any apparent tissue damage.…”

Oxygen fluctuations represent a common stressor in estuarine and intertidal environments and can compromise the mitochondrial integrity and function in marine organisms. We assessed the role of mitochondrial protection mechanisms (ATP-dependent and -independent mitochondrial proteases, and antioxidants) in tolerance to intermittent hypoxia or anoxia in three species of marine bivalves: hypoxia-tolerant hard clams (Mercenaria mercenaria) and oysters (Crassostrea virginica), and a hypoxia-sensitive subtidal scallop (Argopecten irradians). In clams and oysters, mitochondrial tolerance to hypoxia (18 h at 5% O 2 ), anoxia (18 h at 0.1% O 2 ) and subsequent reoxygenation was associated with the ability to maintain the steadystate activity of ATP-dependent and -independent mitochondrial proteases and an anticipatory upregulation of the total antioxidant capacity under the low oxygen conditions. No accumulation of endproducts of lipid or protein peroxidation was found during intermittent hypoxia or anoxia in clams and oysters (except for an increase in protein carbonyl concentration after hypoxia-reoxygenation in oysters). In contrast, hypoxia/anoxia and reoxygenation strongly suppressed activity of the ATP-dependent mitochondrial proteases in hypoxiasensitive scallops. This suppression was associated with accumulation of oxidatively damaged mitochondrial proteins (including carbonylated proteins and proteins conjugated with a lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde) despite high total antioxidant capacity levels in scallop mitochondria. These findings highlight a key role of mitochondrial proteases in protection against hypoxia-reoxygenation stress and adaptations to frequent oxygen fluctuations in intertidal mollusks.
