Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release was used to quantitatively access cell injury in cells exposed to SI. Inhibitors of PLA2 were used to identify their influence on RPE cell survival. The iPLA2-VIA-specific inhibitors included bromoenol lactone (BEL; BioNordika, Herlev, Denmark, Cayman Chemicals, Product number 13179) and 1, 1, 1, 2, 2- pentafluoro- 7- phenyl- 3- heptanone (FKGK; Cayman). Additionally, the cPLA2-IVA inhibitor CAY 10502 (Cayman) as well as the combined cPLA2-IVA and iPLA2-VIA inhibitor arachidonyl trifluoromethylketone (AACOCF3; Sigma) were used. LDH-release was assayed using a MWG Discovery HT-R spectrophotometer. In addition, cell viability was determined by the colorimetric assay 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

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.
