Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM: The structural integrity of the eukaryotic cytoplasmic membrane is of crucial importance for its cell biological function and thus for the survival of the cell. Physical and chemical noxae can interact in various ways with components of the cytoplasmic membrane, influence its permeability and thus mediate toxic effects. In the study presented, changes in membrane permeability were quantified by intracellular accumulation of a fluorescent dye and by the release of the fluorescent dye from dye-loaded cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Non-malignant (RC-124) and malignant (786-O, Caki-1) renal cells were permeabilized with different concentrations of Triton X-100. The permeability of the membrane was determined at the single-cell level by the uptake of the dye into the cell inner by flow cytometry. In addition, a fluorescence plate reader was used to detect and quantify the release of the dye into the cell culture supernatant. RESULTS: Both malignant and non-malignant cells showed a dose-dependent alteration of membrane permeability after treatment with Triton X-100. In the presence of the fluorescent dye, significantly more dye was introduced into the permeabilized cells compared to control incubations. Vice versa, Triton X-100-treated and dye-loaded cells released significantly more dye into the cell culture supernatant. CONCLUSION: The combination of measurement of intracellular accumulated and extracellular released dye can quantifiably detect changes in membrane permeability due to cell-membrane damage. The combination of two different measurement methods offers additional value in reliable detection of membrane-damaging, potentially toxic influences. Copyright
