Figure Lengend Snippet: Representative HCA images showing drug-induced nephrotoxicity in Hoechst 33342, MitoTracker Deep Red FM, and rhodamine 123 channels. HEK293 cells treated with blank (a, e, i, m), 10 μ M aristolochic acid (AA) (b, f, j, n), 10 μ M cyclosporine A (CsA) (c, g, k, o), and 10 μ M cisplatin (CDDP) (d, h, l, p) are shown. Decreased intensity of rhodamine 123 indicates decreased mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) (f, g, h). Increased intensity of MitoTracker Deep Red FM indicates increased mitochondrial mass (MS) (j, k, l). The number of cells stained by Hoechst 33342 was decreased by all three drugs (n, o, p).
Article Snippet: Operetta high content analysis (HCA, PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA), which is an in vitro, sensitive, reproducible, multiparametric screening method, was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of HMPs in cultures of HEK293 human embryo kidney cells.
