VideoDetection of oxidative stress with CellROX Green in U2-OS cells 
U2-OS cells were plated at 200,000 cells per dish on a 35 mm glass bottom dish (MatTek) and cultured overnight. The cells were rinsed once and loaded with 5 µM CellROX Green Reagent (Cat. No. C10444) and 100 nM TMRM in Live Cell Imaging Solution (LCIS, Cat. No. A14291DJ) for 15 minutes at 37 degrees C. After loading, cells were imaged live with no washing every 20 seconds for seventy minutes on the DeltaVision Core inverted microscope at 37 degrees C. Menadione was added to a final concentration of 100 uM after ten minutes of baseline acquisition. The time lapse data shows the loss of signal from TMRM in the red channel as mitochondrial function decreases, concomitant with the onset of a nuclear signal in the green channel as CellRox Green is oxidized and the reagent migrates to the nucleus to generate a fluorogenic response as the active form of the dye binds to DNA.
