The Protein Carbonyl Content Assay Kit (Abcam) was employed to elicit protein carbonyl groups according to the manufacturer's prescribed guidelines. Tumor tissues were homogenized in deionized water (dH2O) with the aid of a homogenizer. Subsequent to centrifugation, the resulting supernatant was collected, and the samples were diluted with dH2O to achieve an approximate protein concentration of 10 mg/mL. For each individual sample, 100 μL of DNPH was introduced, followed by vigorous mixing and an incubation period of 10 min at room temperature. Subsequently, 30 μL of Trichloroacetic Acid Solution/TCA was added to each sample, followed by further mixing, placement on ice for 5 min, and centrifugation at maximum velocity for 2 min. The supernatant was meticulously extracted and discarded. Cold acetone (500 μL) was utilized to wash the resulting pellet in each tube, and the sample underwent sonication in a sonicating bath for 30 s. Afterward, the sample was placed at −20 °C for 5 min, subjected to a 2-min centrifugation, and the acetone was cautiously removed. Finally, 200 μL of guanidine solution was introduced to each tube and briefly subjected to sonication. The optical density at approximately 375 nm was measured employing a microplate reader within a 96-well plate.

Six retinae from each group were processed following the protocol of the Protein Carbonyl Content Assay Kit (ABCAM, Waltham, MA, USA). Retinae were homogenized in water and centrifuged. Samples were diluted with water to a concentration of 0.5–2 mg in 100 μL protein per assay. DNPH (100 μL) was added to each sample, vortexed, and incubated for 10 min at room temperature. TCA (30 μL) was mixed with each sample, vortexed, placed on ice for 5 min, and then centrifuged for 2 min. The supernatant was discarded without disturbing the pellet. The pellet was suspended with cold acetone and washed. After sonication to disperse the pellets, they were incubated at −20 °C for 5 min, centrifuged for 2 min, and the acetone was removed. Guanidine solution (200 μL) was added, and the mixture was sonicated to solubilize the proteins. After a brief spin to remove insolubilized material, each sample (100 μL) was transferred to a 96-well plate and measured at approximately 375 nm.

Protein carbonyl levels were measured utilizing the Protein Carbonyl Content Assay Kit (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, United States) according to manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, protein was extracted from the neocortex of animals nasally administered IFNγ-DC-Exos or sodium succinate vehicle (sham) using RIPA buffer. Protein homogenate was treated with streptozocin to remove any nucleic acid contaminates. Samples were reacted with 2, 4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine followed by quantification of the acid hydrazones at 405 nm. BCA assays (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were simultaneously run and a standard curve constructed for the calculation of protein carbonyl content based on optical density.

The levels of protein carbonyls (PCs) were measured using a commercial Protein Carbonyl Content Assay Kit (Abcam, USA) as previously described [6 (link)]. In brief, fresh lung samples were homogenized, treated with streptozocin to remove nucleic acids, and incubated with DNPH (100 μL), TCA (30 μL), cold acetone (500 μL), and guanidine solution (200 μL) following the manufacturer's instructions. Then, PCs were measured spectrophotometrically at 375 nm and expressed as pmol/mg protein. The contents of 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT), malondialdehyde (MDA), and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) were also detected to assess protein and lipid peroxidation using commercial kits (Abcam, USA). 8-hydroxy 2 deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is produced by oxidative DNA damage, and 8-OHdG levels in fresh lung homogenates were evaluated using an 8-OHdG-coated plate and an HRP-conjugated antibody according to the manufacturer's instructions (Abcam, USA). The absorbance was measured at 450 nm and used to calculate total protein concentrations as previously described.
