Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were determined in black 96-well microplates by labeling approximately 7×103 cells/well with 25 μM of 2’,7’-dichoroflurescein diacetate (DCFDA) for 30 min at 37°C in the dark; then, co-cultures were treated with ethanol for 48 hours followed by LPS for 3 h. Fluorescence intensity was measured at 535 nm (excitation at 485 nm). Glutathione (GSH) content was determined after alcohol and/or LPS treatments according to the GSH assay kit instructions (CS0260, Sigma, St. Louis, MO) [25 (link)].

Measuring Glutathione in Xenopus Oocytes

The total intracellular GSH concentration from Xenopus oocytes was determined by using the GSH assay kit from Sigma-Aldrich. For intracellular measurements, selected oocytes were kept in ND96 solution with low Ca2+ (0.25 mM) containing or not 20 mM BSO. After 48 and 72 h, the collected oocytes first were deproteinized with 5% 5-sulfosalicylic acid solution, followed by centrifugation to remove the precipitated protein, and then assayed for GSH as per the manufacturer’s instructions. For measuring extracellular GSH release, 30 oocytes per condition were incubated in 100 µl of low Ca2+ (0.25 mM) solution 1 d after injection or not with hCx26 mRNA. The extracellular medium was collected 6 and 24 h after incubation. The measurement of GSH was achieved by using a kinetic assay in which catalytic amounts (nmol) of GSH cause a continuous reduction of 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) to TNB, and the oxidized form of GSH (GSSG) formed is recycled by GSH reductase and NADPH. The GSSG present will also react to give a positive value in this reaction. The assay uses a standard curve of rGSH to determine the amount of GSH in the biological sample. A plate reader was set to 412 nm with kinetic read at 1-min intervals for 5 min to calculate the nanomoles of GSH in the sample, as suggested by the manufacturer.

Quantifying Glutathione in Zebrafish Embryos

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The embryo extracts were prepared in 5% 5-sulfosalicylic acid and subjected to GSH quantification using GSH assay kit according to manufacturers’ instruction (Sigma-Aldrich). Control and BMAA170 treated extracts (250 μL) from 96 hpf embryos were mixed with 250 μL of working solution which consist of reaction buffer, diluted GSH reductase (enzyme) and 5,5′-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB). This reaction produces GSH disulfide (GSSH) and 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid (TNB) which is a yellow product measured photometrically at 412 nm. Fifty microliters of this solution were added to the 96-well plates, and incubated at 37 °C for 10 minutes. After this step, 50 μL of diluted NADPH stock solution in reaction buffer were added to each well plate, and incubated again for 20 minutes at 37 °C. In the presence of NADPH, GSH reductase converts GSSG to GSH which is utilized in the previous reaction and produces even more TNB. Therefore, this recycling reaction improves the sensitivity of total GSH detection. The absorbance of each well was measured using a multiplate fluorimeter (Tecan Infinite 200 Pro, Männerdorf, Switzerland).

Glutathione Quantification Assay

Total GSH was determined by using the GSH assay kit (Sigma). Briefly, larval pellets (50 mg) were homogenized in 1 volume of PBS. An aliquot was used for protein determination, and another aliquot was added to 3 volumes of 5% 5-sulfosalicylic acid and mixed. Samples were then frozen (−80°C) and thawed at 37°C twice, left for 5 min at 4°C and finally centrifuged at 10 000g for 10 min. The supernatant was used for glutathione determination by performing a kinetic assay in which catalytic amounts (nmoles) of GSH caused a continuous reduction of 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) to 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid measured spectrophotometrically at 405 nm with a Thermo Scientific™ Multiskan™ FC Microplate Photometer.

GSH was quantified using a GSH assay kit, based on enzymatic recycling reactions. Following CLL cell culture under various experimental conditions, the cells were collected, sonicated at speed four (five times) at 4°C, and de-proteinated by precipitation with an equal volume of 10% metaphosphoric acid (Sigma-Aldrich). The precipitated proteins were removed by centrifugation at 3,000 × g for 5 min at 4°C. The supernatant was collected, neutralized with triethanolamine (cat. no. T58300; Sigma-Aldrich) and assayed for GSH (reduced) and GSSG (oxidized) using a Cayman GSH assay kit, according to the manufacturer's instructions. The data were obtained from triplicate measurements.
