Quantifying Intracellular Oxidative Stress

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected using an oxidant-sensitive fluorescent probe (DCFH-DA, Beyotime, Nantong, China). In brief, cells were washed twice with PBS. Then, cells were stained with 10 μM DCFH-DA at 37°C for 20 min according to the manufacturer’s instruction. DCFH-DA was deacetylated intracellularly by non-specific esterase, which was further oxidized by ROS to the fluorescent compound 2,7-dichlorofluorescein (DCF). DCF fluorescence was detected with a FACScan flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, USA). To determine the oxidative status, intracellular GSH activity was measured using the GSH/GSSG Ratio Detection Assay kit (Abcam).

Measurements of glutathione and glutathione disulfide were made using the GSH/GSSG Ratio Detection Assay Kit from Abcam (ab138881), according to manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, 20 whole female heads per sample were flash frozen at 6 days (young) or 42 days (old). Samples were resuspended in 150 μl PBS with 0.5% Triton X‐100 and dissociated with a motorized pestle. Debris was removed by centrifugation and deproteinated with trichloroacetic acid (25 μl/sample) and sodium bicarbonate (80 μl 7% w/v). Samples were diluted 4× for the GSH assay, and 16× for GSSG. All samples were kept on ice using the enzymatic reaction step. The reaction mixture was incubated 45 min, then read with a BioTek fluorescence plate reader.

2 × 105 cells with stable expression of indicated genes and/or shRNAs were seeded in a well of 6-well plate, and incubated with fresh medium overnight. Cells were treated with 12 Gy ionizing radiation, and cellular oxidative stress was measured by the following methods 3 h after irradiation. The levels of GSH/GSSG ratio were determined using the GSH/GSSG Ratio Detection Assay Kit obtained from Abcam (ab138881) and quantified using a microplate reader (Ex/Em = 490/520 nm). The level of cellular DCFDA signal was measured by using Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Detection Assay Kit obtained from BioVision (K936-100) and evaluated by using a microplate reader (Ex/Em = 495/529 nm). The level of 8-OHdG was examined by using 8-hydroxy 2 deoxyguanosine ELISA Kit obtained from Abcam (ab201734). The data was normalized to the cell numbers.

GSH/GSSG ratio in various U87MG cell lines was determined using GSH/GSSG Ratio Detection Assay Kit (Fluorometric-Green) (#ab138881, Abcam), according to the manufacturer's guidelines. In brief, the whole cell lysates were diluted to 1 : 80 for GSH analysis, serial dilution of GSH and GSSG stock standards were prepared as standards. A one-step fluorimetric reaction of samples with respective assay buffer and probes were incubated for 30 min. Then, fluorescence intensity was monitored at EX/EM of 490/520 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.
