Myeloperoxidase activity was quantified using an MPO colorimetric activity assay kit (#MAK068; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), according to the manufacture’s instruction. Briefly, a portion of the cecum (50 mg) was homogenized in 4 volumes of MPO Assay Buffer, followed by centrifugation at 13,000× g for 10 min at 4 °C to remove insoluble material. Five µL of supernatant for each sample was added into a well of a 96 wells plate, and its volume was adjusted to a final volume of 50 µL with MPO Assay Buffer. The reaction was stopped after 60 min at room temperature away from light, and the absorbance at 412 nm was measured by a Clariostar Plate reader (BMG LABTECH, Cary, NC, USA). One unit of MPO activity was defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes the substrate and generates taurine chloramine to consume 1.0 µmole of trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNB) per minute at 25 °C. The results were expressed as milliunit/mL.

Colorimetric Assay of Intestinal MPO Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The tissue concentrations of MPO were measured to assess the degree of intestinal inflammation using the MPO colorimetric activity assay kit (#MAK068; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA). Fifty microliters of 1:40-diluted colon homogeneity samples was added to 50 microliters of MPO substrate according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The reaction was stopped after 60 min at room temperature away from light, and the absorbance at 412 nm was measured by the microplate reader (Molecular Device, USA). The amount of TNB consumed by the enzyme assay were determined by the difference value between each sample blank and its corresponding samples (ΔA412 = (A412)sample blank-(A412)sample, then we should compare theΔA412 of each sample to the standard curve to get the amount of TNB consumed. The MPO activity was calculated by the following equation: MPOactivity=B×Sample Dilution FactorReaction Time×V where B = amount of chromophore TNB consumed, and V = sample volume added to well. All the samples were analysed in 3 wells in each experiment, and each experiment was repeated 3 times.

MPO activity was measured using an MPO colorimetric activity assay kit (Sigma–Aldrich). Briefly, the colonic tissues (50 mg) were homogenized in 1 mL of PBS and centrifuged at 13,000×g for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was collected, and the MPO activity was determined according to the manufacturer's instructions. MPO activity is expressed in units per gram of colonic tissue. One unit of MPO activity is defined as the amount of enzyme degrading 1 μmol of peroxide per minute at 25 °C. The concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) in the colonic tissues were also measured by ELISA. The colonic tissues (50 mg) were homogenized in 1 mL of RIPA buffer containing protease inhibitors and centrifuged at 13,000×g for 10 min at 4 °C.

Inflammatory and Apoptotic Markers in Rat Colon

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As instructed, IL-10 was determined in colon tissue homogenates using the Quantikine Immunoassay kit purchased from R&D Systems (Cat. No. R1000). IL-12 p70 was quantified in colon tissue homogenates using a kit purchased from CUSABIO (Wuhan, China; Cat. No. CSB-E07364r). The results are expressed as IL-10/IL-12 p70 ratio. An MPO colorimetric activity assay kit purchased from Sigma-Aldrich was used to determine the activity of myeloperoxidase in the rat colon (Cat. No. MAK068). In this assay, MPO catalyzes the formation of hypochlorous acid, which reacts with taurine to form taurine chloramine. Taurine chloramine reacts with the chromophore TNB, resulting in the formation of the colorless product DTNB. One unit of MPO activity is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes the substrate and generates taurine chloramine to consume 1.0 μmole of TNB per minute at 25°C. A colorimetric assay of caspase-1 was performed using a kit supplied by BioVision (Milpitas, CA, USA; Cat. No. K111-25). Caspase-1 activity was spectrophotometrically determined on the basis of the detection of the cleaved p-nitroanilide (p-NA) chromophore at 405 nm.

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.
