The cell viability was measured using the CCK8 kit (MCE, HY-K0301) in the 96-well plate. The cells were seeded at 30-50% confluence (depends on the cell's growth rate), when the cells attached, firstly incubated with Ferrostatin-1 (Ferr-1) (Sigma, SML0583), Z-VAD-FMK (Z-VAD) (Selleck, S7023), Necrostain-1s(Nec-1s) (Selleck, S8641), Deferoxamine mesylate (DFO) (Selleck, S5742) or glycogen phosphorylase inhibitor (GPI) (Merck, 361515) for 12 h. Then co-treated with Erastin (Sigma, E7781) or tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) (Sigma, 458139) for indicated time. Then all medium was removed, replaced with the fresh medium containing CCK8 reagent and incubated for 2-4 h, the plates were read by microplate reader at 450 nm.

Neuroprotective Inhibitor Combination in OGD/R and aHIOP Models

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Z-VAD-FMK (Z-VAD; Cat# S7023, Selleck Chemicals, Houston, TX, USA) was dissolved in DMSO at a final concentration of 50 μM. Disulfiram (DSF; Selleck Chemicals, Cat# S1680) was dissolved in DMSO at a final concentration of 0.3 μM. Necrostatin-1 (Nec-1; Cat# S8037, Selleck Chemicals) was dissolved in DMSO at a final concentration of 20 μM. R28 cells were pretreated with drugs (or DMSO for control) for 1 hour before OGD modeling (Wang et al., 2018, 2020; Huang et al., 2021). For treatment with a combination of these inhibitors in the OGD/R model, the final concentration of each inhibitor in combination was the same as that of a single inhibitor mentioned above. In the aHIOP model, the amounts of Z-VAD (10 mM), DSF (10 mM), and Nec-1 (20 mM) injected into the OHT eye were 3, 0.5 and 1.5 µL, respectively. The processing time was 30 minutes.

The pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK (Z-VAD) was obtained from Selleck and diluted in DMSO at a stock concentration 5 mM. For the treatments, cells were treated with 150 μM (−)-Guaiol for 24 h in serum free medium, unless otherwise indicated. For the inhibition of autophagy or proteasome, 5 mM 3MA in serum free medium or 40 μM MG132 in complete medium were used after (−)-Guaiol treatment for another 6 h. For the caspase activity inhibition, 20 μM Z-VAD was incubated with (−)-Guaiol in serum free medium for 24 h.

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.
