The measurement of oxidative stress cells was quantified by Muse Oxidative Stress Kit (MCH100111, Merck Millipore). The cells were seeded in 6-well plates overnight and then treated with DPT (0, 6, or 8 nM) or 1 μM GEF for 48 h. Cells were harvested and washed with assay buffer, and then incubated with Muse Oxidative Stress Reagent working solution in the dark at 37°C for 30 min. The percentage of cells undergoing oxidative stress were identified using the Muse Cell Analyzer and Muse analysis software (Merck Millipore).

Quantification of Cellular Oxidative Stress

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Determination of ROS was performed by using a fluorescent probe 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA); 100 μM DCFH-DA, dissolved in 100% methanol which was added to the cellular medium and the cells were incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. Under these conditions, the acetate group is not hydrolyzed [54 (link)]. The fluorescence [corresponding to the oxidized radical species 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein (DCF)] was monitored spectrofluorometrically (excitation, λ = 488 nm; emission, λ = 525 nm). The total protein content was evaluated for each sample, and the results were reported as percentage increase in fluorescence intensity (FI)/mg protein with respect to control untreated cells.
The quantitative measurement of cellular populations undergoing oxidative stress was performed using the Muse Oxidative Stress Kit (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This assay utilizes dihydroethidium (DHE), which is cell membrane-permeable and, upon reaction with superoxide anions, undergoes oxidation to form DNA-binding fluorophore. The kit determines the percentage of cells that are negative [ROS(−)] and positive [ROS(+)] for reactive oxygen species. The count and percentage of cells undergoing oxidative stress were quantified using the Muse Cell Analyzer and Muse analysis software (Merck Millipore, Milano, Italy).

For confirming the apoptosis-inducing effect of the autophagy compound libraries on RCC cells, the cells seeded into a 24-well plate (5 × 104 cells/well) were treated with 5 µM autophagy compound libraries for 24 h. Then, the cells were harvested, washed with ice-cold PBS, and re-suspended in complete DMEM. The cells (1 × 104 cell/100 µl) were incubated with a Muse™ annexin V & dead cell assay kit (EMD Millipore, Hayward, CA, USA) at RT for 20 min and analyzed on a Muse™ cell analyzer (EMD Millipore). Data were quantified using the Muse™ analysis software (EMD Millipore). For autophagy detection in RCC cells after treatment with autophagy inducing compounds, the cells were treated with 5 µM autophagy compound libraries for 24 h.

The in vitro toxicity of X-PDT was
evaluated using the MTS test. Before MTS treatment, HCT 116 cells
and CCD 841 CoN cells (2 × 104 mL–1) were grown on 96-well plates in the culture medium with 10% FBS
for 24 h. After removing the old media, the cells were incubated with
PLGA–TPP samples diluted in the culture medium for 4 h. After
incubation, the old medium was removed, and fresh medium was added,
followed by X-ray radiation at 4 Gy. The cytotoxicity of X-ray-induced
PDT on HCT 116 cells at 24 h was determined by the MTS test (Promega
Co., Fitchburg, WI) according to the manufacturer’s instructions
and compared with control cells without any treatment. Cell viability
was then calculated as a percentage of the absorbance of the untreated
control sample. For a comparison, the viability of cells treated with
PLGA–TPP alone and X-ray at 4 Gy alone was also evaluated in
the same experimental conditions. HCT116 cells (1 × 105 cells/well) were seeded in 25 cm2 cell culture flasks
and treated with X-ray alone, PLGA–TPP nanoparticles alone,
and X-PDT. At 24 h after treatments, the cells were harvested from
the culture medium and washed with 1 mL of PBS, followed by the addition
of 100 μL of Muse Annexin V Dead Cell reagent. Next, cells were
incubated at room temperature for 20 min without light. Apoptosis
was then analyzed with Muse Cell Analyzer and Muse analysis software
(EMD Millipore).

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.
