HK2 cells were cultured in 24-well plates until they reached confluence. Cells were pre-treated with TAPI1 (1 µM for 30 min pre-trement, Calbiochem) and TAPI2 (10 µM for 1hr pretreatment, Cayman) and then treated with 10 µg/ml of LPS for 8 h. At the end of the experimental periods, cells were preloaded with 10 µM 2′, 7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCF-DA; Molecular Probes) for 30 min at 37℃. Fluorescence intensity was analyzed by a fluorescence reader (Fluoroscan Ascent FL; Lab systems, Helsinki, Finland) using 485 nm excitation and 538 nm emission filter. HK2 cells were cultured on a 6-well plate for DCF-DA staining. Cells were pre-treated with TAPI1 (1 µM for 30 min) and TAPI2 (10 µM for 1 h) and then treated with 10 µg/ml of LPS for 8 h. Cells were washed twice with hanks balanced salt solution (HBSS) and incubated with HBSS (without phenol red) containing DCF-DA for 30 min at 37℃ in dark.

For measuring intracellular ROS levels, synchronized YA worms were collected and washed thrice in 1X M9 buffer. Worm extracts were prepared by flash freezing worm pellets in liquid nitrogen and freeze-thawing for three cycles, followed by sonication (setting of 30 amplitudes, 12 cycles of 1 s pulse on/off, 5–8 times using Misonix Ultrasonic processor 4000) in 1X PBS. The worm extract was centrifuged at 20,000 × g for 15 min at 4 °C, and the protein concentration of the supernatant was determined using Bradford protein estimation kit (Bio-Rad, USA). Supernatant containing 5 μg of protein was pre-incubated with 50 μM of 2,7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFDA, Molecular Probes, USA) in 100 μL of 1X PBS at 37 °C for 1 h. Fluorescence intensity was measured in FLUOstar Omega (BMG Labtech, USA) every 10 min for 1 h at excitation wavelength 485 nm and emission wavelength 520 nm.

(a) The total intracellular superoxide and hydroxyl radical in cells was detected using Cellular Reactive Oxygen Species Detection Assay Kit (ab186027, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, cells were seeded into 96-well plate with 2 × 104 cells per well. Add 100 µL/well of ROS Red Working Solution into the plate. Incubate cell plate in a 37 ℃/5% CO2 incubator for 1 h, and then detect the fluorescence signal by microplate reader.

(b) Intracellular hydrogen peroxide detection. Cells were plated into 12-well plates with different treatments. Each well was loaded with 30 μm of the H2O2-sensitive fluorescent probe 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCF-DA; Molecular Probes, Leiden, The Netherlands) and then the plate was plated at 37 ℃ for 4 h. The cells were washed with PBS for three times and then the intracellular fluorescence was quantified using flow cytometry.

(c) The level of superoxide anion was determined by ethidium fluorescence. Briefly, cells were seeded into 12-well plates wit different treatments. The cells were incubated with 1 mM hydroethidine at 37 ℃ for 5 min and then washed three times by PBS. The cells were then resuspended and subjected to flow cytometry analysis.

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.
