Reactive Oxygen Species Quantification

Reactive oxygen species production was evaluated as previously described (Yan et al., 2009 (link)). In brief, yeast cells were incubated with 20 mg/L of 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA, Sigma–Aldrich) for 30 min at 35°C, at 150 rpm. Cells were washed once (2,655 × g for 5 min at room temperature; 5417R, Eppendorf) and resuspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, Sigma–Aldrich); afterward, cells were treated with the antimicrobials as described in “Functional characterization of drug interactions” section. FI was determined at FL1 (530 nm). ROS production was calculated by subtracting the FI value displayed by cells treated with antimicrobials from that of cells treated with both antimicrobials and DCFH-DA.
Simultaneously, 10 μL of the treated cell suspension were placed in a microscope slide for further analysis under fluorescence microscopy, in a Carl Zeiss Axiovert inverted microscope, using laser wavelength of 488 nm.

The generation of ROS was determined using 2′-7′dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA, Beyotime Biotechnology Co., Shanghai, China), which can be oxidized to dichlorofluorescein (DCF) with high fluorescence in cells. Cells were starved for 6 h in serum-free DMEM medium and then pretreated with or without Hyp (2 or 5 mmol/L) for 12 h at 37 °C before being stimulated with 4-HNE (40 μmol/L) for 3 h in the presence or absence of Hyp. Subsequently, the cells were exposed to 10 μmol/L DCFH-DA for an additional 30 min at 37 °C and observed under a fluorescence microscope (Zeiss, Germany). DCF fluorescence intensity was quantified using Image J software (NIH, USA).

The ROS levels were determined using 2, 7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA, Abcam), a fluorogenic dye that measures intracellular hydroxyl and peroxyl activities. The fluorescent dye Mito-Tracker Red (#C1071S, Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used to monitor the changes in MMP. Briefly, PGL626 cells (5 × 105 cells/well) were seeded in 24-well plates to achieve about 80% confluence. Subsequently, the medium was replaced with fresh medium with different metformin concentrations of 0, 10 and 20 mM for 48 h. At the end of incubation, the cells were incubated with 10 mM of DCFH-DA or 1 μM Mito-Tracker Red in serum-free medium for 20–30 min in the dark at room temperature. The residual reagent was removed by washing with PBS three times. The fluorescence of DCFH-DA (488 nm excitation/525 nm emission) as well as the Mito-Tracker Red (530 nm excitation/590 nm emission) were captured by a Zeiss confocal laser scanning microscope.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
