To induce macrophage differentiation of U937 monocytes, the cells were suspended at 500,000 cells/ml in petri dishes (VWR International, Radnor, PA) and stimulated for 48 hours with 100 ng/ml of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). In separate experiments, U937 cells were stimulated concurrently with 5 μg/ml recombinant human high mobility group box1 protein (HMGB1, R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN) and recombinant human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), and IL-6 (10 ng/ml each, R& D Systems). Differentiation assays were performed in the presence or absence of 1.0 μg/ml of human rSTC-1 (BioVendor Research and Diagnostic Products, Asheville, NC or Czech Republic), 1 mM of the superoxide donor paraquat (Sigma-Aldrich), and/or 100 μM of the cell-permeable superoxide dismutase mimetic MnTBAP (Sigma-Aldrich). After 48 hours, images of the cells were captured on a Nikon Eclipse Ti-S inverted microscope using a Ds-Fi1 camera (Nikon, Melville, NY) and managed with NiS Elements AR 3.0 software (Nikon). The differentiated macrophages were subsequently harvested, counted, and processed for real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or flow cytometry analysis.

Cardiomyocyte Glucose and Oxidative Stress

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cardiomyocytes were incubated for 24 h to establish adhesion to either PAA gel substrates or glass coverslips, and were subsequently treated with various concentrations of glucose (5, 10, 15 or 25 mM) in the presence or absence of ROS scavengers, such as N-acetyl cysteine (NAC; 0.25 and 1 mM, Sigma) and manganese (III) tetrakis (4-benzoic acid) porphyrin chloride (MnTBAP; 0.1 mM, Sigma) for 24 h. To investigate the effect of removing accumulated ROS, cardiomyocytes were first exposed to a high level of glucose for 24 h, followed by treatment with 5 mM glucose in the presence or absence of NAC. Where indicated, cells were treated with mannitol (WAKO), instead of glucose, to evaluate the effect of high osmolality, which could also be induced by high-glucose treatment.

Cutaneous Vascular Tissue Biopsy and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In a subset of participants (n=8 HC, n=8 MDD), two 3 mm cutaneous vascular tissue samples were obtained from the ventral forearm under local anesthesia (2% lidocaine without epinephrine) via punch biopsy, immediately snap frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80°C until analysis34 (link), 40 (link). Protein abundance/expression was determined by Western blot and total reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species (ROS+RNS) production was quantified fluorometrically (Cell Biolabs Inc, San Diego, CA, USA). The relative contribution of superoxide to total ROS+RNS was assessed by pretreatment with the SOD mimetic MnTBAP (Sigma-Aldrich). Details are provided in the Online Data Supplement.

SSP4 (3′,6′-di(O-thiosalicyl)fluorescein), Na2S2, Na2S3, and Na2S4 were purchased from Dojindo molecular Technologies Inc. (Rockville, MD, USA). MnTBAP, which is also a Mn porphyrin, but lacks appreciable SOD-mimetic activity [26 (link)] was purchased from Sigma–Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA), other MnPs were synthesized as previously reported [27 (link),28 (link)]. All other chemicals were purchased either from Sigma-Aldrich or ThermoFisher Scientific (Grand Island, NY, USA). Please note that we use H2S to denote the total sulfide added (sum of H2S + HS) usually derived from Na2S. Also, while S2− is often thought as part of the H2S + HS equilibrium, it does not exist under these conditions as the pK > 12 [29 (link)]. Phosphate buffer (PBS; in mM): 137 NaCl, 2.7 KCl, 8 Na2HPO4, 2 NaH2PO4. pH was adjusted with 10 mM HCl or NaOH to pH 7.4.

MSM-mEos2 cells were induced with ATc (500 ng/ml) and incubated for 12 h under standard growth conditions. N-Acetyl cysteine (NAC) (10 μM), an oxidative agent that reduces the level of in situ reactive oxygen species (ROS), was added to the induced MSM-mEos2 cultures and incubated at 37°C for 90 min to prepare the negative control. Along with the negative control, another set of induced cultures were treated with a ROS-inducing compound, 100 μM MnTBAP (catalog no. 55266-18-7; Sigma-Aldrich) and incubated for 15 min to prepare the positive control. CellRox orange (catalog no. C10443; Thermo Fisher), was added to the induced samples and control and incubated for 30 min at room temperature. FACS analysis was performed to measure the CellRox orange intensity. ROS-positive and -negative gates were determined with control samples, and ROS levels in dim and lit cell population were determined with reference to the controls.

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.
