3,3′-Dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide (DiOC6(3)) was purchased from Thermofisher Scientific and applied to monitor mitochondrial membrane potential according to the manufacturer’s instructions (San Jose, CA, USA). Cells were seeded into six-well plates and treated with vehicle or AA for 24 h. Carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) was also applied as a positive control, except that cells were harvested after brief exposure, i.e., 6 h. Cells were trypsinized and washed with PBS two times, followed by DiOC6(3) staining for 20 min in 37 °C water bath. Then cells were washed with PBS for an additional three times, re-suspended with HBSS, and submitted to flow cytometry for analysis (Becton-Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA).

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were purified by standard density gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-Hypaque (Atom Reactiva, Barcelona, Spain) and used immediately for ex-vivo SCD assays. B-cell death was evaluated by culturing PBMC (1 × 10 6 cells/ml) in Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 medium (RPMI-1640) supplemented with 10% of FBS (R10 medium; ThermoFisher Scientific) for 24 h. Then, PBMCs were harvested and incubated with 40 nmol/l of the potentiometric mitochondrial probe 3,3'-dihexyloxacarbocyanine Iodide (DIOC 6 (3)) (ThermoFisher Scientific) in R10 for 1 h at 37°C/5% CO 2 . After that, cells were stained with anti-CD19 APC/Cy7, anti-IgD PE, anti-CD38 PerCP-Cy5.5, anti-CD5 APC (BD Biosciences), and anti-CD27 PE/Cy7 (eBiosciences). Finally, 0.3 μm of Sytox Blue (ThermoFisher Scientific) was added and incubated for 10 min. Cells were acquired in a LSR-II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Live cells were identified as DIOC 6 (3) bright/Sytox Blue negative using FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc., Ashland, Oregon, USA).

HEPG2 and HUH7 cells were seeded at 1.5 × 105 cells/well and 1 × 105 cells/well, respectively, 24 h prior to treatment. Groups were treated with 0.0, 0.05 and 0.1 µM of NV651 in combination with 0, 5 and 10 µM of Cisplatin for 72 h. The supernatant and trypsinized cells were collected for analysis.

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.
