In order to detect the O2 production which is dependent on Nox, we mixed 10 μL of the protein samples collected from the H9c2 cells with 80 μL of a solution made of Krebs-HEPES buffer which also contained diethyldithiocarbamate (5 μM, Sigma) and deferoxamine (25 μM, Sigma) and followed this by the addition of the cell-permeable spin probe 1-hydroxy-3-methoxycarbonyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine (CMH; ENZO, Alexis Corporation) to a concentration of 1 mM and the substrate NADPH (Beyotime Biotechnology) to a concentration of 20 μM, with or without manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (SOD, 8000 U/mL; Beyotime Biotechnology). An electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometer (Bruker, Germany) was used to analyze O2 production in the protein samples. In the homogenates, the SOD-inhibitable fraction of the signal showed the total O2 production, and the results were indicated as fold changes compared with controls.

The reaction was started by the addition of 10 µl recombinational Trx reductase (Abcam) and incubated for 20 min at 37°C. The reaction was terminated by the addition 0.5 ml 6 mol/l guanidine-HCl and 1 mmol DTNB (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) and absorbance at 412 nm was measured using an automatic microplate reader (ELX-800; BioTek Instruments, Inc.).

Neuroprotective Strategies for HIBD

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For viral infection in vivo, 6 days prior to HIBD, a vector containing TIGAR short hairpin RNA (LV-sh_TIGAR; 1×109 transduction units/mL; Genechem, Shanghai, China) or GSDMD short hairpin RNA (LV-sh_GSDMD; 1 × 109 transduction U/mL; Genechem) was infused into the left lateral ventricle and striatum (2 μL/injection site) (Li et al., 2014) of the neonatal rats. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH; 2.5 mg/kg; Beyotime, Nantong, China) was injected into the left lateral ventricle of the rat brain before HIBD modeling.
For viral infection in vitro, the HAPI rat microglial cells were treated with medium containing LV-sh_TIGAR (MOI = 100), LV-sh_GSDMD (MOI = 100), or LV-sh-scramble (normal control; MOI = 100; Genechem), and the medium was replaced with regular medium after 12 hours of viral treatment. The cells were cultured for 3 days and then subjected to OGD/reoxygenation (OGD/R). NADPH (10 μM; Beyotime) was added before OGD and was present in the regular medium used for reoxygenation at 24 hours.

With reference to the manufacturer’s instructions, Cellular Glutathione Peroxidase Assay Kit with a kit for glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity in tissues or other samples, NADPH (Beyotime Biotechnology, Jiangsu, China, S0056) got employed for cell detection. The cells were collected through a cell scraper and washed once with PBS. The cell sample, lysed with cell lysate, was then centrifuged at 12,000 g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant for identifying the enzyme activity was taken out. In the next stage, on a 96-well plate, the detection buffer was added to test the sample, and the GPx detection working solution in sequence was evenly mixed and incubated at room temperature for 15 min. Next, after the adding and mixing of peroxide reagent solution, attached with the appropriate enzyme label, the solution was put immediately at 25°C and room temperature. The measurement of A340 with an instrument or a trace ultraviolet spectrophotometer was conducted for 5 consecutive minutes.

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.
