the pH was adjusted to 7.2 using KOH.
The prepared separation liquid can be stored at 4 ℃ for 1 month and at-20 ℃ for 6 months.
2. Preparing ice, pre-cooling the centrifuge to 4 ℃, and finishing the following steps (step 3) on the ice, and keeping the temperature at 0-4 ℃.
3. Collecting cells

B) 2mL/75cm was added2Separating liquid, scraping off target cells on the wall of a sample T75 culture flask by using a cell scraper, and collecting the cells;
C) 2mL/75cm was added2Separating the solution, and collecting the residual cells;
D) combining the cells collected in step B) with the remaining cells collected in step C) to obtain a cell suspension;
wherein the cultured cells are rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC-T6), and the culture medium is a hepatic stellate cell culture medium.
4. Grinding:
as shown in FIG. 1 (grinding process diagram, the steps are completed on ice, the connection between the grinder and the stirrer is clearly shown when photographing, and no ice bath is placed), the cell suspension is transferred into a glass tube of a Teflon grinder, the Teflon grinder is connected with an IKA stirrer, the cell suspension is stirred at the rotating speed of 350 r/min, and the grinding times are 10 times up and down, so as to obtain a mixture;
after grinding, observing the cell breakage rate through trypan blue staining to observe the cell breakage rate, and when the breakage rate is less than 50%, increasing the grinding times (the total up-and-down grinding times are 10 times (the grinding times are changed according to different cells, the cell volume of the rat hepatic stellate cell used in the embodiment is smaller, so the grinding times are mostly 10 times) until the cell breakage rate of the cell suspension is more than or equal to 50%, thus obtaining the cell suspension with the cell breakage rate more than or equal to 50%.
The cell breakage rate observed by trypan blue staining when Teflon was ground 5 times is shown in FIG. 2, and the cell breakage rate observed by trypan blue staining when Teflon was ground 10 times is shown in FIG. 3. In FIGS. 2 and 3, the broken cells are blue dots, and the unbroken cells are bright dots.
The grinding times vary according to different cells, the cells used in this example are rat hepatic stellate cells, the volume of the cells is small, so that the grinding times are 10 times to obtain a cell suspension with a cell breakage rate of not less than 50%, and other cells with larger volume only need to be ground for 3-5 times.
5. Centrifuging:
transferring the mixture into a 4mL centrifuge tube, centrifuging at the rotation speed of 700Xg at 4 ℃ for 10min to precipitate large organelles such as unbroken cells, cell fragments and cell nucleuses, and collecting supernatant to a new centrifuge tube;
6. centrifuging:
centrifuging the supernatant at 4 deg.C for 15min at 3000Xg, collecting precipitate as mitochondria, and discarding the supernatant.
The total time of the steps 2 to 6 is 30 to 50 min.
As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, most of the hepatic stellate cells of rats with small cell volumes can be crushed by grinding the hepatic stellate cells up and down for 10 times, so that the method is time-saving and labor-saving, and can meet the requirement of simultaneously processing a large number of samples.
In addition, comparing the sizes of different cells, FIG. 4 is a 160-fold enlarged graph of rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC-T6) and the cell volume is smaller, FIG. 5 is a 160-fold enlarged graph of human renal cortex proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2), and FIG. 6 is a 160-fold enlarged graph of human glomerular endothelial cells (HRGEC). It can be seen that the size of the hepatic stellate cells of the rat adopted by the invention is smaller.

Effect example 2
The mitochondrial purity obtained in examples 1, 8 and 9 was examined and the results are shown in fig. 12 (graph of mitochondrial purity at different speeds), where PMP70 is a peroxisome marker, which is close to mitochondria and therefore susceptible to contamination, PCNA is a nuclear marker, GAPDH is a cytoplasmic marker, and GRP75 is a mitochondrial marker, which reflects consistent loading of mitochondrial proteins.
As can be seen from the figure, the rotating speed of the cleaner reaches 6000, so that the cleaning speed is 3000-6000 Xg, preferably 3000 Xg.
Namely, the highest centrifugal speed is low, the highest centrifugal speed can be 3000Xg, the requirement on centrifugal equipment is low, the centrifugal frequency is low, and complete mitochondria with energy metabolism activity can be simply and efficiently obtained from cultured cells.
The prior art mainly comprises two methods for separating and culturing mitochondria in cells, one method is to use a DOUNCE glass grinder to break the cells, and the other method is based on the principle of gradient separation, wherein the former method is a scheme adopted by a commercial kit.
Firstly, use DOUNCE glass grinder to break cells
The commercial kit in the comparative example 1 is expensive, and the price is 3000-7000 yuan/50 samples; the components are all liquid, and the shelf life is 1 year; ③ 3 components in the kit of the comparative example 1 all contain detergent to promote cell rupture, and the existence of trace detergent can destroy the integrity of mitochondrial membranes; the DOUNCE grinder is a manual grinder, and the cells are ground for dozens of times when being sufficiently broken, thereby wasting time and labor.
The reagent used in the embodiment 1 is low in price; ② the powder form, the shelf life is as long as 3 years; the reagent does not contain any detergent, has mild components, and does not damage mitochondrial membranes, thereby being beneficial to maintaining the energy metabolism activity of mitochondria; the Teflon grinder can be directly connected with the IKA cantilever stirrer, electric grinding replaces manual grinding, most of cells can be broken by grinding hepatic stellate cells of rats with small cell volumes up and down for 10 times, time and labor are saved, and the requirement for simultaneously processing a large number of samples can be met.
Second, based on gradient separation principle to separate mitochondria
The technology based on the gradient separation principle needs an ultracentrifuge capable of ultracentrifuging, and has high requirements on equipment; carefully operating when the prepared gradient sucrose solution is added, otherwise, mixing different gradient sucrose; thirdly, when the gradient layer containing mitochondria is finally sucked, the mitochondria loss can be caused because the sucking is not complete, and the yield is reduced; if Percoll gradient centrifugation is used, the cost is high; long operation time, basically 1 hour.
The centrifugal rotating speed is only 3000xg at most, and the requirement of a common low-temperature centrifugal machine can be met; secondly, the operation is simple, and only separation liquid is needed in the whole process; thirdly, the mitochondria are finally a precipitate part, and the supernatant is sucked and discarded without loss; reagents used are all conventional reagents, and the price is low; the whole process only needs 30-50min, which is more beneficial to protecting the activity of mitochondria.
In addition, the energy metabolism activity of mitochondria is reduced along with the time extension, the activity difference of different groups can not be detected after more than 3-4 hours, the operation time of the prior art is generally more than or equal to 1 hour, the centrifugation times are more than that of the invention, and the operation time of other methods is prolonged more than that of the invention along with the increase of the processed sample size.
The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that the above preferred embodiment should not be considered as limiting the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the scope defined by the claims. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and adaptations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and these modifications and adaptations should be considered within the scope of the invention.
