The total ROS detection kit and MitoSOX (2.5 µM) were used according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Enzo Life Sciences and Life Technologies, NY). Lupus LDGs and control NDGs were incubated with either MitoSOX (5 µM) or mitoTracker® green FM (100 nM) and cells were quantified by flow cytometry following manufacturer’s instructions for concentration and timing and using BD color matched beads for compensation (catalog number: 552843 BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA). Mitochondria were also analyzed by flow cytometry using TOM20 antibodies (Novus Biologicals) and MitoSOX (Life Technologies). In some experiments, neutrophils were treated with pronase (2 mg/mL, Calbiochem, San Diego, CA) or DNase (50 µg/mL, Roche) 30 minutes prior to addition of TOM20. Neutrophil activation was assessed by cell surface expression of CD66b (clone G10F5, BioLegend). Phagocytosis of 8-OHdG ICs was analyzed by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence microscopy upon incubation of neutrophils with Alexa Fluor-conjugated 8-OHdG ICs (2.5 µg/mL, pre-formed as described above) for 30 minutes. Phagocytosis index was determined as phagocytosed ICs per neutrophil and field of observation. Data were analyzed by FlowJo (Tree Star Inc, Ashland, OR). For all analyses, isotype antibodies or fluorescently labeled beads were used as negative controls.

To measure mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), the fluorescent probe MitoSOX Red (Life Technologies) was used as previously described.32 (link) In brief, BAR-10T cells were placed in 2-well, Lab-Tek II chamber slides (Nalge Nunc, Rochester, NY) with a chamber volume of 1 mL at 1 × 105 cells per well. Cells were treated with or without 1 μg/mL LPS for 24 hours, after which the cells were washed 2 times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Cells were loaded with 5 μmol/L MitoSOX Red for 10 minutes at 37°C, and then washed 2 times with PBS. Cells were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde for 3–5 minutes, and washed 2 times with PBS. Then the cells were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole for 1 minute and washed with PBS 3 times. For some studies, cells were treated with 100 μmol/L Mito-TEMPO (Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY) and LPS for 24 hours followed by loading with MitoSOX as described earlier. Cells were imaged with a Leica DM6000 B fluorescence microscope (Leica Microsystem, Buffalo Grove, IL) and fluorescence was quantitated using National Institutes of Health ImageJ software (version 1.48; Bethesda, MD) from 5 separate high-power fields (40×) per well, and then averaged. All assays were performed in at least 2 independent experiments.

SH-SY5Y control, Parkin O/E and Parkin O/E;SREBP2(−/−) cells were grown in galactose-supplemented media prior to staining with MitoSOX Red™ (Invitrogen, USA) and rotenone treatment. Cells were co-stained with 5 μM MitoSOX, Hoechst (1:1000; Enzo Life Sciences, USA) and BODIPY 493/503 (Invitrogen, USA) (1:1000) in culture media for 10 min at 37°C. Cells were rinsed and imaged in HBSS without phenol red (Gibco, USA) supplemented with Ca2+ and Mg2+. Live confocal fluorescence imaging was performed on a spinning disc confocal (SDC) setup built around a Nikon Ti2 inverted microscope equipped with a Yokogawa CSU-W1 confocal spinning head, a Plan-Apochromat objective (100×, 1.45 NA) and a back-illuminated sCMOS camera (Prime 95B; Photometrics, USA). All image acquisitions were carried out using MetaMorph (Molecular Device, USA) with exposure time 500 ms. Automated MitoSOX intensity measurements were done using MatLab algorithm (66 (link)) and is available upon request.

BMDMs were plated in half-area black 96-well plates in RPMI without phenol red (Invitrogen). Cells were incubated for 10 min at 37°C with 5 μM MitoSOX (Thermofisher). Stimuli were added and fluorescence (Ex510, Em580) recorded using a Synergy plate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT). Neutrophils in HBSS without calcium and magnesium (ThermoFisher) were incubated for 1 h with 100 nM PMA (Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY) and 5 μM MitoSOX during the last 10 min of incubation. ROS were measured by flow cytometry.

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.
