Cet article décrit un protocole pour analyser les sous-unités du complexe de la chaîne respiratoire mitochondriale dans des neurones fixés et perméabilisés en utilisant la cytométrie en flux. La méthode implique un marquage par anticorps pour détecter des protéines mitochondriales spécifiques et évaluer les niveaux d'ADN mitochondrial.
This method enables quantitative assessment of mitochondrial protein expression in neurons, supporting target validation in neurodegenerative disease research. By measuring mitochondrial respiratory chain complex subunits and relative mitochondrial DNA levels, it provides mechanistic de-risking for early-stage therapeutic hypotheses. The approach enhances predictive confidence in preclinical models by delivering reproducible, flow cytometry-based readouts.
The method fits within the discovery-to-preclinical continuum, enabling mitochondrial parameter measurement after target engagement and before functional validation.
