Abstract: Background: Determination of mitochondrial membrane potential ((m) is widely used to characterize cellular metabolism, viability, and apoptosis. Changes of ΞΞ¨m induced by inhibitors of oxidative phosphorylation characterize respective contributions of mitochondria and glycolysis to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis. Methods: ΞΞ¨m in BSC-40 and HeLa G cell lines was determined by flow cytometry and spectrofluorometry. Its changes induced by specific mitochondrial inhibitors were evaluated using 3,3 ΞΞ¨-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide (DiOC6(3)), tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester, and Mito-Tracker Red. Mitochondrial function was further characterized by oxygen consumption. Results: Inhibition of respiration by antimycin A or uncoupling of mitochondria by FCCP decreased ΞΞ¨m in both cell lines. Inhibition of ATP production by oligomycin or atractyloside induced a moderate decrease of ΞΞ¨m in HeLa G cells and an increase of ΞΞ¨m in BSC-40 cells. Statistically significant differences in ΞΞ¨m between the two cell lines were found with both flow cytometry and spectrofluorometry. Respirometry showed higher basal and FCCP-stimulated respiration in BSC-40 cells. Conclusion: Changes of ΞΞ¨m and oxygen consumption showed that BSC-40 cells are more sensitive than HeLa G cells to inhibitors of mitochondrial function, suggesting that BSC-40 cells are more dependent than HeLa G cells on aerobic ATP production. Determination of ΞΞ¨m changes by flow cytometry exhibited greater sensitivity than the ones by spectrofluorometry. β’ Keywords: Green monkey kidney BSC-40, Human cervical carcinoma HeLa G cell lines
