The SOD (EC 1.15.1.1), CAT (EC 1.11.1.6), GR (EC 1.6.4.2), GPX (EC 1.11.1.9) activities in the samples were determined using Total SOD Assay Kit with WST-1 (S0102, Beyotime, China), CAT Assay Kit (S0051, Beyotime, China), GR Assay Kit (S0055, Beyotime, China) and Total GPX Assay Kit (S0058, Beyotime, China), respectively, according to the manufacturer's instructions. The POD (EC 1.11.1.7) activity was measured with Plant POD Assay Kit (A084-3, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, China) as the instruction described.
For the determination of SOD activity, 2-(4-iodophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2, 4-disulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (WST-1) method was used [33] (link). WST-1 can couple with xanthine oxidase (XO) to generate O₂⁻ and formazan dye, however, this reaction can be inhibited by SOD by catalysing O₂⁻ into H₂O₂ and O₂. Therefore, the SOD activity can be calculated by measuring the absorbance of formazan dye at 450 nm.
The CAT activity was assayed using CAT Assay Kit (S0051, Beyotime, China) as previous described [34] . Briefly, the protein supernatants were treated with excess H₂O₂ for decomposition by CAT for 5 min, and the remaining H₂O₂ coupled with a substrate was treated with POD to generate a red product, N-4-antipyryl-3-chloro-5-sulfonate-p-benzoquinonemonoimine, which can be examined at 520 nm. CAT activity can be determined by measuring the decomposition of H₂O₂.
For the GR activity assay, GR Assay Kit (S0055, Beyotime, China) was used. The reaction mixture included 20 µl of sample, 100 µl of GSSG solution, 70 µl of GR assay solution and 10 µl of 2 mM NADPH, and the blank was set without sample. Glutathione disulfide (GSSG) can be catalyzed to reduced glutathione (GSH) by GR in the present of NADPH. Then the GR activity can be determined by measuring the reduction of NADPH from the absorbance at 340 nm.
The GPX activity was determined using Total GPX Assay Kit (S0058, Beyotime, China) as described by Wang et al. [35] (link). Briefly, the reaction mixture contained 10 µl of sample supernatant, 176 µl GPX assay buffer, 10 µl GPX assay working solution (4.8 mM NADPH, 40.4 mM GSH, and GR solution supplied by the kit), 4 µl of 15 mM cumene hydroperoxide (Cum-OOH), and two controls were set without sample and without Cum-OOH, respectively. The GPX activity was calculated by measuring the reduction of NADPH to NADP⁺ at 340 nm of absorbance.
The POD activity was assayed with Plant POD Assay Kit (A084-3, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, China) as the instruction described based on the guaiacol oxidation [36] (link). The POD activity was determined by examining the absorbance of reaction buffer at 420 nm.
The relative activities of the above antioxidant enzymes were quantified as fold change in relative to Yukon under control condition for 7 d.

HMVEC-D cells were seeded on 1.0 μm Costar transwell inserts coated with fibronectin. Cells were grown to confluency and treated with SecinH3 for 3 hours or MAPK/NF-κB/transcription/translation inhibitors for 30 minutes followed by treatment with 10ng/ml IL-1β. Alternatively, cells were infected with Ad-GFP or Ad-ARF6Q67L adenovirus for 48 hours. siRNA knockdown was performed as described in supplementary methods and cells were treated with IL-1β 72 hours after the second siRNA transfection. Two hours later, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was added to the top chamber at a final concentration of 100μg/ml. Medium was removed after 60 minutes from the lower chamber. For time-course transwell assays and transcription/translation inhibitor experiments (Figure 1a,c–d), HRP was added to the insert at the same time as IL-1β. Transwell inserts were moved to fresh wells after each timepoint, and the concentration of HRP in the bottom chamber was measured for monolayer permeability. HRP was assessed using media samples obtained from the lower chamber incubated with 0.5 mM of guaiacol and 0.6 mM H₂O₂. Spectrophotometric analysis of absorbance at 490 nm provided a quantitative evaluation of the amount of HRP that crossed the membrane. Data are presented as mean ± SEM of at least three independent experiments performed in quadruplicate.

Depolymerization of Kraft Lignin using Ni-Fe Catalysts

First, 0.0875 g of
lignin was suspended in DI water with the Ni–Fe cocatalysts
on magnesium silicate supports in a batch reactor. To study the effect
of temperature on the depolymerization of kraft lignin, the system
was studied at temperatures of 250, 300, and 350 °C. Catalysts
were further loaded at 0.0044 g into the reactor. Subsequently, the
reactor was sealed and purged with N₂ to remove any reactive
air and achieve an inert atmosphere until reaching 10 bars of N₂. The reactor was operated for 1 h with vertical shaking at
40 rpm.
After completing the reaction, the products were separated
by a centrifuge consisting of solid and liquid phases. The solid phase
was defined as char, while the liquid phase contained lignin-derived
products and residual lignin. Next, the liquid phase was acidified
to a pH of 2.00 with 1 M hydrochloric acid. In this step, the residual
lignin was precipitated out as solids by a centrifuge at 15 °C.
Next, the lignin-derived products were separated using ethyl acetate.
Finally, the samples were characterized and quantified by a gas chromatography
mass spectrometer.
The liquid fraction qualification was analyzed
on a GC–MS
instrument (Shimadzu) equipped with a capillary column (30 m ×
0.32 mm × 0.25 mm). The GC heating ramp was as follows: the oven
temperature program increased from 40 °C (held for 3 min) to
300 °C at a rate of 5 °C/min under a helium atmosphere.
The main products from the depolymerization of kraft lignin are anisole,
phenol, p-cresol, 4-ethylphenol, creosol, catechol,
guaiacol, mequinol, 4-ethylguaiacol, syringol, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde,
vanillin, 4′-hydroxyacetophenone, 3,4-dimethoxyenzaldehyde,
and vanillic acid. These products were analyzed using the database
from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for
comparison of the molecular weight. The yields of each product and
the kraft lignin conversion were calculated using the following eqs 1 and 2.

Catalytic Upgrading of Simulated Bio-oil

Toluene, cyclopentanone, acetic acid, furfural and guaiacol were mixed with a volume ratio of 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 : 1 to represent simulated bio-oil. All these reagents were analytically pure. The catalytic tests were conducted on a fixed bed reactor, as shown in Fig. S1.† For each run, 5 g of catalyst was placed on the insulating spacers of the catalyst reaction bed, and the reaction temperature was 400 °C. Model bio-oil (10 mL) was gasified and introduced into the 400 °C preheated reactor using a peristaltic pump at a flow rate of 20 ml h⁻¹ for 30 min with N₂ as the carrier. N₂ flushing was maintained for another 20 min after the experiment was complete to ensure that all condensable gas was cooled and collected. The liquid was dissolved in chloroform, and the mass of the liquid after removing chloroform was reported as M_L. The yield of liquid after upgrading was defined as follows: where M_L is the mass of the upgraded liquid and M₀ is the mass of the total simulant component before the reaction.
The conversion of each model component was calculated as follows: where W_a and W_b are the mass of each model component after and before the reaction, respectively. For the regeneration study, the spent catalysts were regenerated using a muffle furnace by heating for 3 h at 550 °C, and then the catalytic activity was tested. The parameters of the regeneration catalytic activity experiments were the same as those of the catalytic tests mentioned above.
