Description of Dihydrorotenone

Dihydrorotenone is an insecticide and irreversible inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I and can cross the blood-brain barrier [1]. Dihydrorotenone binds to and inhibits the complex I in the electron transport chain, thus inhibiting mitochondrial function and decreasing ATP production[2]. Dihydrorotenone can be labeled for use in radioautography to investigate the unique distribution of complex I in the brain[3].

In vitro, Dihydrorotenone treatment at 20µM for 24 hours triggered endoplasmic reticulum stress and activated the p38 signaling pathway, leading to apoptosis of KMS11 cells[4]. Treatment with 15µM Dihydrorotenone for 24 hours inhibited the expression of cell cycle proteins, causing LP1 cells to be arrested in the G0/G1 phase and reducing the phosphorylation levels of AKT and ERK[5]. After 2 weeks of treatment with 1µM Dihydrorotenone, the expressions of FSP1, PDGFRα and PDGFRβ in SCAF#36 cells significantly decreased, the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine genes was significantly downregulated, and the cell viability significantly declined[6].

Protocol of Dihydrorotenone

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

KMS11 cells

Preparation Method

KMS11 cells were cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and antibiotics (penicillin 100U/ml, streptomycin 0.1mg/ml) in an incubator humidified with 95% air and 5% CO2 at 37°C. KMS11 cells were cultured in 96-well plates at a density of 1.5×104 cells per well and treated with 0, 0.39, 0.78, 1.56, 3.12, 6.25, 12.5, and 25µM of Dihydrorotenone. After incubation for 72 hours, the cell viability was detected.

Reaction Conditions

0, 0.39, 0.78, 1.56, 3.12, 6.25, 12.5, and 25µM; 72h

Applications

Dihydrorotenone treatment decreased the cell viability of KMS11 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
