HUVECs were seeded in an MW96 plate at a density of 10,000 cells/well in a final volume of 200 μL. After overnight incubation, a pre-treatment with 0.5 mM hydrogen peroxide (H
2O
2) was conducted for 15 min to induce oxidative stress. After H
2O
2 removal, dyes were added at working concentrations indicated in
Table 1 in presence or absence of different doses of HT-C6. Moreover, 1 h later, the time-lapse assay was conducted in the
Operetta High Content Imaging System (PerkinElmer, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) in which photographs were taken every 20 min for 5 h, maintaining normal incubation conditions of temperature and CO
2.
Image analysis during assay was performed with Harmony software version 4.8 (PerkinElmer, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). Subsequently, segmentation of the different cellular compartments marked by the dyes was performed, fluorescent signal was measured (fluorescence intensity,
FI), the background signal of the
CellROX dye (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was subtracted, and the following processing step was performed:
Finally, the images obtained from the Operetta were analyzed and processed using FIJI software (
