Quantifying Intracellular ROS Levels

Intracellular ROS were detected in live cells using the Fluorometric Intracellular ROS kit (Sigma-Aldrich). Cells were harvested and resuspended in Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (Sigma) at 5×105 cells/ml. To 500 µl of cells in microcentrifuge tubes, 600 µl of Master Reaction Mix was added from the Fluorometric Intracellular ROS kit (Sigma-Aldrich) after which the cells were incubated in darkness under 5% CO2 at 37°C for 1 h. The fluorescence (λex=520 nm/λem=605 nm) was measured in a Modulus Fluorometer (Turner Biosystems) using the Green Module. An arbitrarily selected control cell line (C105) was used in every experiment as an internal, normalization control for between-experiment variation. The fluorescence is proportional to the amount of ROS present. In separate control experiments the fluorescence was shown to be quenched dramatically by addition of 100 mM mannitol, a colourless ROS trap that works by reacting with hydroxyl radicals (data not shown).

Quantifying Intracellular ROS in BMDMs

BMDMs were seeded in 24-well plates at a density of 2 × 105 cells per well, treated with opsonized RBCs (1:10) and intracellular ROS was determined with a fluorometric intracellular ROS kit (Sigma-Aldrich, MAK142). Stained cells were visualized and captured using Leica DMI6000B with Cy5 filter set. The ImageJ software was applied to analyze regions of interest (ROIs) over multiple cells (n > 50). The fluorescence intensity from all the ROIs was averaged, and the corresponding background average was subtracted to yield the signal intensity for each condition.

Quantifying Intracellular ROS in EPCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intracellular ROS levels were measured by a Fluorometric Intracellular ROS Kit (MAK142; Sigma‐Aldrich, USA). EPCs were seeded on fibronectin‐coated 12 mm cover glasses in a 24‐well plate. The EPCs were treated with the indicated concentration of FGF21 for 12 h and 600 µM H2O2 for 1 h. The cells were washed with PBS and incubated with ROS Detection Reagent at 5% CO2 and 37°C for 1 h. After 1 h, the samples were carefully washed with PBS and then stained with DAPI (1:1000; ab228549; Abcam, USA) for 15 min at room temperature. The cover glasses were mounted with mounting medium (Dako, USA), and images were captured with a laser confocal microscope (ZEISS LSM 880, ZEISS, Germany).

Quantifying Oxidative Stress in rBMSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
rBMSCs were seeded in 12-well plates in triplicate at a density of 2 × 104 cells/well. After routine culturing (with or without N-acetylcysteine, NAC: 5 mM) or miR-22 transfection, the cells were exposed to 0 or 6 Gy of IR, and analysis was performed at 24 h after X-ray exposure. For ROS staining, the cells were incubated with the Fluorometric Intracellular ROS Kit (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck, Germany) for 45 min (5% CO2, 37 ℃), gently washed with PBS 3 times, counterstained with 10 μg/ml Hoechst (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck) for 10 min, and then imaged under a fluorescence microscope. To determine the fluorescence intensity, the incubated cells were measured on a flow cytometer with the following parameters: λ ex = 640 nm and λ em = 675 nm. The results are shown as images and fluorescence intensity.

The oxidative injury INS-1 cell model was established with H2O2 as described previously.30 (link) Briefly, INS-1 cells were inoculated with 1.5×104 cells/well in 96-well plates and were cultured for 72 h at 37°C with 5% CO2. H2O2 was added to the wells at a final concentration of 400 μM and the cells were incubated for 1 h. Then the cells were treated for 24 h in fresh media containing 10 nM of SCD (using the final concentration of DBAYL as the quantitative index). The cell proliferation rates were determined with MTT. Intracellular ROS levels were determined with fluorometric intracellular ROS kit (Sigma-Aldrich) using the method described previously.31 (link) For SCD (10 nM) treatment, the same doses of SeNPs, SC (210 nM, using the final concentration of SeNPs as the quantitative index), BAY55-9837, Ex-4, DBAYL (10 nM) or the same volume of PBS were used for controls.
For the receptor VPAC2 blocking experiments, cells were preincubated for 30 min at 37°C with 50 nM of a VPAC2-selective inhibitor PG99-465 prior to 10 nM SCD treatment.

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.
