Measuring Cellular Oxidative Stress via GSH

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total glutathione (GSH) is a cellular antioxidant, which is depleted when excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced. Therefore, GSH depletion was measured as an indicator of oxidative stress [32 (link)] using a GSH detection kit (Enzo life sciences, Belgium). After 24 h exposure, cell cultures were washed and harvested using trypsin 0.1% (Gibco, Belgium). Then, cells were resuspended in metaphosphoric acid 5% and homogenized using an ultra turrax t25 tissue homogenizer (Janke & kunkel, Germany). GSH was quantified according to manufacturer’s protocol and the protein content of cell cultures was assessed by the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay kit (Thermo Scientific Pierce, Belgium). GSH was normalized to the total protein content and the results were expressed as percentage of control (untreated) cells.

MCF-10A cells were plated in 90-mm dishes, allowed to grow for 24 hours then treated with 20 μM Z-ajoene for 24 hours. The pellets were suspended with cold 5% metaphosphoric acid and sonicated, and incubated on ice for 5 minutes. The suspension was transferred to a new tube and centrifuged for 5 minutes at 4°C. The oxidized GSH concentration was determined using GSH detection kit (Enzo Life Sciences, Plymouth, PA, USA). The assay was carried out according to the instructions supplied by the manufacturer. The levels of reduced GSH and its oxidized form (GSH disulfide, GSSG) were determined according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The rates of the reaction were compared to similarly prepared GSH and GSSG standard curves.

A GSH detection kit was purchased from Enzo Life Sciences (Farmingdale, NY, USA). The principle of the GSH quantitation kit is based on the production of yellow-colored 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid (TNB) from GSH and 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB). Absorbance was measured by measurement by ELISA reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) at 405 nm for 10 min at 1-min intervals. The total amount of GSH was determined using a calibration curve and normalized to the protein concentration.

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.
