The intracellular ROS levels of living cells were analyzed by the flow cytometry using DCFDA/H2DCFDA-Cellular ROS Assay kit (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), following the manufacturer’s instructions. The cells were divided into seven groups of treatment—namely, G1 (vehicle control of empty liposomes); G2 (+ve control TBHP); G3 (DCPDO IC10); G4 (DCPDD IC10); G5 (DCPDD IC25); G6 (DCPDO IC10 + DCPDD IC10); G7 (DCPDO IC10 + DCPDD IC25). Briefly, 2.5 × 105 cells were grown in 6-well plates for 24 h, treated with selected doses, and incubated for 48 h. The cells were harvested, followed by washing in PBS, and incubated with DCFDA (20 μM), for 30 min at 37 °C. The cells were then acquired using MACSQuant Analyzer 10 and analyzed by FlowJo software v10.8.1. The cells from G2 were exposed to 50 μM of ter-butyl hydrogen peroxide (TBHP), 4 h prior to staining with DCFDA.

Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The changes in the MMP by FSE at various doses were determined by the flow cytometry as well as the confocal microscopy using TMRE (tetramethylrhodamine, ethyl ester)-Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay Kit (Abcam, Cambridge, USA), according to manufacturer’s instructions. TMRE is a cell permeant, positively charged, red-orange dye that readily accumulates in active mitochondria due to their relative negative charge. Depolarized or inactive mitochondria have decreased the membrane potential and fail to sequester. Briefly, 2.5 × 105 cells for flow cytometry and 5 × 104 for confocal image analysis were grown in each well of 6-well and 24 plates, respectively, for 24 hours, followed by the treatment with the designated doses and incubated for 48 hours. The cells were harvested, washed, and incubated with TMRE (200 nM) for 20 minutes at 37°C, followed by acquisition on MACSQuant Analyzer 10 and analysis using FlowJo software v10.7. For confocal image analysis, the TMRE (50 nM) was overlaid to the culture and incubated for 20 minutes. The media, then replaced by PBS and TMRE, was detected under the confocal microscope.
Note: The FCCP (20 µM) was added 10 minutes prior to staining with TMRE in FSE 0 (positive control) treated cells.

Antibodies directed against mouse extracellular and intracellular antigens were purchased from BD Biosciences and eBioscience/Thermofisher. Antibodies were directed against CD4 (clone RM4–5), CD8 (53–6.7), CD44 (IM7), TNFα (MP6-XT22), IFNγ (XMG1.2), IL-4 (11B11), IL-17 (ebio17B7). Fixable violet live-dead stain 405 nm (Invitrogen/ThermoFisher) was used prior to permeabilization and intracellular stain to exclude dead cells. All samples were acquired on a MACS Quant Analyzer 10 and analyzed with Flowjo version 10 software. The 10-peptide mix selected for splenocyte stimulation were selected from the HCV E2 peptide array obtained from BEI Resources (NR-3749). The individual peptides in the 10-E2 peptide mix include Class II_MHC_H2-lad peptides #2 (7-GNAGRTTAGLVGLLTPGA-24), #8 (46-CNESLNTGWLAGLFYQHK-63, a known CD4 epitope), #17 (106-YPPRPCGIVPAKSVCGPV-123) and #18 (113-IVPAKSVCGPVYCFTPSPV-131) and Class I_MHC_H2-lad peptides and #22(138-RSGAPTYSWGANDTDVFV-155), #24 (150-DTDVFVLNNTRPPLGNWF-167), #36 (223-RCMVDYPYRLWHYPCTI-239), and #37 (229-PYRLWHYPCTINYTIFKV-246) and as well as a CD8 epitope represented by peptide #34 (210-TYSRCGSGPWITPRCMV-226).

The changes in the proportion of cells in the viable, early, and late apoptotic stages were analyzed using Annexin V-FITC/PI Apoptosis Staining Kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany). The cells were divided into six groups of treatment—namely, G1 (vehicle control of empty liposomes); G2 (DCPDO IC10); G3 (DCPDD IC10); G4 (DCPDD IC25); G5 (DCPDO IC10 + DCPDD IC10); G6 (DCPDO IC10 + DCPDD IC25). The cells were grown, treated, and harvested, as stated earlier. The cells were then incubated with Annexin V-FITC and PI in binding buffer, at room temperature, and for 15 min in the dark, following the manufacturer’s instructions. The samples were acquired using MACSQuant Analyzer 10 and analyzed by FlowJo software v10.8.1.

PMNs were stimulated with SKMEL28 CM, A375 CM, HEMa CM or control medium for 90 min (37 °C, 5% CO2). To determine the viability of the cells (2.5 × 105), Zombie Violet dye (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) was added. The cells were then stained with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 1% FCS for 20 minutes at + 4 °C. Allophycocyanin (APC)-conjugated anti-CD66b (clone REA306, 1:50), VioBlue-conjugated anti-CD193 (clone REA574, 1:10), PerCP-conjugated anti-CD11b (clone REA713, dilution 1:50) and FITC-conjugated anti-CD62L (clone 145/15, dilution 1:50) were used, all from Miltenyi Biotech (Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). The MACS Quant Analyzer 10 and FlowJo software version 10 were used to analyze the results. Doublets and debris (identified based on forward and side scatter properties), dead cells (identified using the Zombie Violet Fixable Viability Kit) and eosinophils (identified based on the CCR3+ exclusion gate) were excluded from the analysis. All the experiments were run in duplicate.

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.
