Quantifying Oxidative Stress in Hippocampal Neurons

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ROS content was evaluated by utilising a DCFH-DA fluorescent probe (MAK143; Sigma-Aldrich). The H2O2 in cells can oxidise DCFH-DA to a highly fluorescent compound, dichlorofluorescein (DCF). After diverse treatments, hippocampal neurons were exposed to 10 mM DCFH-DA (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min. After washing, the fluorescence of the hippocampal neurons was assessed by a microplate reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific) or a fluorescence microscope (Leica).

The fluorimetric ROS assay MAK143 (Sigma Aldrich) was performed to examine the intracellular amount of ROS in the indicated cell lines. 1.5 × 104 cells/well were seeded out in black Cellstar® 96-well plates (Greiner Bio-One GmbH, Frickenhausen, Germany) and treated with cisplatin, auranofin or MC3 in either subtoxic concentrations (1 µM of cisplatin, 0.1 µM of auranofin and 0.01 µM of MC3) or at IC50 of the corresponding cell line using DPBS as control. The assay was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Fluorescence was analysed using a FLUOstar™ OPTIMA fluorescence scanner (BMG Labtech GmbH, Offenburg, Germany), with a 485 nm excitation and 520 nm emission after 4 h and 24 h of incubation. Finally, the ratio of total ROS measurement after 24 h and 4 h was calculated for each cell line and treatment.

The total ROS level was measured using a ROS assay kit (cat. no. MAK143; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA), according to the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, intracellular ROS levels were determined by measuring the oxidative conversion of cell permeable 2V, 7V-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) to fluorescent dichlorofluorescein (DCF) using a fluorospectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) at an excitation wavelength of 488 nm and an emission wavelength of 535 nm.

For ROS detection by flow cytometry, BMDMs were pretreated with NAC (10 mM) for 4 h, then stimulated with LPS (100 ng/ml) and IFN-γ (20 ng/ml) for 4 h followed by incubation with FITC-ROS (MAK143, Sigma) at 37 °C for 45 min in the dark. BMDMs were treated with 1000 μM H2O2 for 10 min as a positive control.
For ROS detection by fluorescent staining, BMDMs were pretreated with NAC (10 mM) for 4 h, then stimulated with LPS (100 ng/ml) and IFN-γ (20 ng/ml) for 4 h followed by incubation with DHE (D1168, Invitrogen) for 30 min and Hoechst (C1027, Beyotime) for 10 min at 37 °C in the dark. BMDMs were treated with 500 μM H2O2 for 30 min as a positive control.

The supernatant was obtained after homogenization of intestinal tissue. SOD (Beyotime, S0103), MDA(Beyotime, S0131S) and GSH(Beyotime, S0056) levels were measured according to the reagent seller’s instructions(Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China.). The content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in intestinal tissue was detected by DHE fluorescent probe (Sigma-Aldrich, MAK143). The fresh intestinal tissue was embedded and cut into 7 μm slices. The sections were incubated with DHE solution at 37°C for 30 min in dark. Put the slide into PBS(PH7.4) and shake it 3 times for 5 min each time. The tissue was then incubated at room temperature with DAPI solution for 10 min. Finally, the slides were examined under a fluorescence microscope.

ROS Intracellular Fluorescent Assay

The ROS Intracellular Fluorometric Kit especially detects superoxide and hydroxyl radicals in living cells. ROS react with the fluorogenic sensor (2,7 dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH2-DA) resulting in a green fluorescent product. The assay was carried out following the manufacturer's recommendations (Sigma-Aldrich MAK 143). Twenty microliters of ROS detection reagent reconstituted and frozen at -20°C was added to 10 ml of the test buffer to form the fluorescence reaction solution (stable for 2 h). To the incubated plates, 50 μl of the fluorescence solution was added; they were kept 1 h at 37°C, and finally the fluorescence was detected using a fluorescence microscope.

2′,7′-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) staining (MAK143, Sigma, USA) was used to measure intracellular ROS concentrations. A tissue ROS assay kit (BB-470532, BestBio, Shanghai, China) was used to measure xenograft tumor tissue ROS concentrations. In short, after the cells were treated with different concentrations of Rh4 for 48 hours or fresh xenograft tumor tissues were collected, the ROS concentration in cells and xenograft tumor tissues was measured by flow cytometry (Agilent, California, USA) or a fluorescence microplate reader (BioTek, Vermont, USA), respectively, according to the kit instructions. These experiments were performed in triplicate. The data are expressed as the percentage of the fluorescence intensity relative to that of the control group.

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.
