Intracellular ROS generation was evaluated using dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) assay (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA), which is a specific probe for hydrogen peroxide to form fluorescent dichlorofluorescein [9 (link)]. All groups were added with stimulant H2O2 (100 μM) except the vehicle group (0.5% DMSO) prior to treatment with 10 μM DCFH-DA at 37°C for 30 min. After incubation, cells were immediately submitted to fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry and estimated using FL-1 channel.

Enzymatic Biosensor Design and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The design of an enzymatic biosensor was focused on the functionalized working electrode and the ability to transfer ions from the reaction substrate to the electrode for measurement. The working electrode was designed using metal oxide nanostructures, providing additional surface area for enzyme deposition and an opportunity for electron shuttling from the enzyme to the electrode (Scognamiglio 2013 (link)). Once functionalized, the electrochemical response of the working electrode was measured as a function of electrolyte composition, as response may vary with electrolyte composition, pH, and temperature (Cai et al. 1995 , Allen et al. 1997 , Avila et al. 2000 , Gomez-Mingot et al. 2014 (link)). Materials for sensor fabrication included zinc nitrate hydrate, platinum and silver electroplating solutions, medical grade silicone, cyt c from equine heart, and a Nafion solution. For cell culture, materials from Gibco include Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium, fetal bovine serum, PBS, and Hank’s buffered salt solution (HBSS). Exposure and cellular response was performed using copper nanoparticles from U.S. Research Nanomaterials, Inc. (Houston, TX), and the DCFH-DA assay from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO).

The level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured using the 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) assay (Sigma-Aldrich, USA), in which the intensity of fluorescence is proportional to ROS level. HK-2 cells were first seeded on 6-well plates. When they reached 70 to 80% confluence, they were treated with the relevant medium for 48 h. Then, cells were washed twice with PBS and DCFH-DA was added. Fluorescence was measured using a fluorescence microscope, after incubation for 20 min in the dark at 37°C.

Quantifying Intracellular ROS and Tyrosine Isomers

2′,7′-Dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) is a cell-permeable ROS-specific nonfluorescent probe. The DCFH-DA is hydrolysed intracellularly, and later it is oxidized by ROS into 2′-7′dichlorofluorescein. Intracellular steady-state ROS levels were detected using the DCFH-DA assay (Sigma-Aldrich, Istanbul, Turkey). The cells were treated PAX and RESV for 24 h. After washing the cells, they were incubated with DCFH-DA (10 μM) for 25 min at 37°C in the dark. The cells were washed again and analyzed (excitation = 485 nm, emission = 535 nm) using the microplate reader (Infinite Pro 200). The data were presented as fold increase normalized to control.
We also measured o- and m-tyrosine as previously described [65 (link)]. Briefly, phenylalanine (313 pmol and 50 nmol) and o- and m-tyrosine (313 fmol to 50 pmol) were used as calibration standards. Labeled [13C6]-phenylalanine was used as an internal standard. Each standard and sample (1 μl) was injected into the GC/MS using a pressure pulsed splitless loading 6890 N gas chromatograph interfaced to a 5973 mass selective detector (Agilent technologies), with methane as the ECNI reagent gas. o- and m-Tyrosine levels were expressed relative to phenylalanine levels.

Quantifying Intracellular ROS in Breast Cancer

The level of intracellular ROS was determined using dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) assay, (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). After diffusion through the cell membrane, DCFH-DA is deacetylated by cellular esterases to a non-fluorescent compound, which is later oxidized by intracellular ROS into a fluorescent 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein (DCF). The MDA-MB-231 and ZR-75-1 cells (1 × 104 cells per well) were seeded in 200 μL of DMEM or RPMI in 96-well black plates. After 24 h, DMEM or RPMI was removed and the cells were stained with 10 μM of DCFH-DA in PBS at 37 °C, 5% CO2, for 45 min. Then, the dye was removed and replaced with the rGO suspensions in DMEM or RPMI, at 50 μg/mL or 100 μg/mL concentrations and incubated for 24 h and 48 h. The DCF fluorescence intensity was measured by Infinite M200 microplate reader (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland), at the excitation wavelength of 485 nm and the emission wavelength of 535 nm. The intracellular ROS generation in rGO-stimulated breast cancer cells was shown as the intensity of fluorescence of the DCF.
