The levels of IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, and GSH were analyzed using commercial ELISA kits according to the manufacturer’s instructions (IL-6: R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA, DY406-05; GSH: Cayman, Ann Arbor, MI, USA, 703002; TNF-α: R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA, DY410-05; MDA: BioVision, Waltham, MA, USA, k739-100). The protein levels were confirmed in duplicate and measured using a VICTOR X4 Multimode Plate Reader (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA).

In vitro Glo1 assay was performed as indicated in the protocol of R&D systems. The assay buffer used was 0.1 M sodium phosphate pH 7.0 (Nacalai Tesque). Glutathione, GSH (Wako) in distilled water (100 mM) and methylglyoxal, MG (Sigma) in assay buffer (100 mM) were prepared fresh. The substrate (MG-SG) mixture was generated by pre-incubating GSH and MG in the assay buffer at 25 C. Recombinant human glyoxalase 1, rhGlo1 (R&D Systems) or recombinant 6-His-mGLo1 in assay buffer was incubated either with DMSO or the compound. The substrate mixture was added to the enzyme and the change in absorbance at 240 nm was recorded for 3 min using Hitachi U-3010 Spectrophotometer. The final concentration of rhGlo1 and 6-His-mGlo1 were 9.5 nM and 19 nM, respectively. For the kinetic studies, various concentrations of the substrate (MG-SG) were prepared by varying the concentration of MG while maintaining the concentration of GSH. The substrate concentration was calculated using the equation: 3 mM = Kd = ½MG½GSH=½MGSG. The inhibitory constants, Ki (E) and K'i (ES) values were graphically estimated as previously described (Cornish-Bowden, 1974) .

The levels of MDA (TBARS assay kit, Cayman Chemical), protein carbonylation (Abcam, ab126287, Cambridge, UK), GSH (R&D System, Minneapolis, MN, USA), and catalase expression (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. EIACATC, Carlsbad, CA, USA) in the ischemic and control brains were measured with commercially available kits according to the manufacturers’ instructions. The absorbance was read on a microplate reader (Molecular Devices Corp., Sunnyvale, CA, USA).

Tracheal intubation was conducted after anesthesia into the rats, followed by three lavages with PBS. Then BALF was collected and centrifuged, and the supernatant was stored at −80°C. The concentrations of GSH, GSSG, 8-OHdG, and 4-HNE (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) were measured in BALF by DAS-ELISA, according to the ELISA kits manufacturer's instructions.

Immunohistochemistry kits were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK), and as the primary antibodies against Ki67 (ab16667), VEGF (ab46154), collagen III (ab7778), FGF (ab8880), TGF-β3 (ab15537) and S100A4 (ab41532) were used. α-SMA (CGA7-sc53015) and MMP-9 (C20-sc6840) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., (Dallas, TX, USA) and collagen I (orb312178) was purchased from Biorbyt (Cambridge, UK). The total protein content of samples was determined by the Biuret method (Katal Biotecnológica Ind. Com. Ltd.a., Minas Gerais, Brazil). ELISA kits for TNF-α and IL-10 and the antioxidant enzymes SOD, GSH, GR and MPO were purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN, USA). Collagenase 1.2 IU (refuse drug) was purchased from pharmaceutical companies.

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.
