Total intracellular or mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) were examined in ASCs using DCFH-DA (D6883, Sigma-Aldrich) or MitoSOX (M36008, Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA), respectively. Briefly, ASCs were cultured for 9 h of attachment, followed by incubation with 10 μM DCFH-DA for 30 min or 5 μM MitoSOX for 10 min at 37 °C. Fluorescent signals were detected by flow cytometry (cytoFLEX, Beckman-Couler, Bria, CA). In some experiments, ASCs were cultured in 96-well plate (1 × 104/well) for ROS fluorescence imaging using Opera Phenix Plus High-Content Screening System (PerkinElmer). For ROS elimination, ASCs were treated with 5 mM N-acetylcysteine (NAC,A7250, Sigma-Aldrich) or 5 μM Mito-TEMPO (SML0737, Sigma-Aldrich) for 12 h before related assays.

Evaluation of Oxidative Stress-Induced Damage

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemistry staining were used to evaluate the oxidative stress-induced DNA damage (8-OHdG) and mitochondrial superoxide (Mitosox) in the brain. Freshly prepared frozen 10μm brain slices were placed on the microscope slides (Genesee Scientific, CA, USA). The slides were first immersed in the pH 6.0 antigen retrieval solution and heated in microwave oven for 15 min to expose the antigen. Secondly, the sections were blocked with endogenous peroxidase for 10 min using 3% H2O2 followed by the incubation of 8-OHdG antibody (1:200, ab62623, Abcam, MA, USA) or Mitosox antibody (1:1000, M36008, Thermo Fisher, CA, USA) at room temperature. The slides were observed under the microscope under magnification of 200x for Mitosox staining or 400x for 8-OHdG. The fluorescence intensity was averaged from four randomly selected brain regions within ipsilateral entorhinal cortex using ImageJ 1.52p (National Institutes of Health, MD, USA).

mROS were measured using a highly selective molecular probe, MitoSOXTM Red mitochondrial superoxide indicator, for live-cell imaging (M36008, ThermoFisher Scientific). Briefly, PASMCs (1.0 × 105) were seeded on chamber slides. When PASMCs grew to 50% confluence, all chambers were exposed to normoxia (21% O2) and hypoxia (5% O2) with or without MitoQ (0.5 μM) incubation. After 12 h, they were stained with MitoSOXTM working solution (5 μM) within a hypoxic glove chamber for 10 min. Following washing, all chambers were observed immediately under confocal laser scanning microscope (Olympus FLUOVIEW FV 1000). The density of fluorescent signal for mROS was quantified using Image-Pro Plus.

Mitochondrial Superoxide Evaluation in Osteoblast Differentiation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mitochondrial superoxide production was evaluated by the mitosox red compound (M36008, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). Oxidation of mitosox red by superoxide compounds present in mitochondria produces red fluorescence. In brief, we prepared a 5 mM stock solution of mitosox in DMSO. DPSCs (2 × 104) were seeded in a 10 cm dish overnight. After 16 h, cells were treated with BGP + LAA for 14 days for osteoblast differentiation. Control cells were cultured for 14 days with a culture medium (α-MEM). After differentiation of cells or undifferentiated cells were washed with ice-cold 1 x PBS and incubated with 2 μM (working solution) of mitosox red for 30 min at 37 °C. Then, cells were harvested through scrapping and fluorescence intensity was measured using a plate reader (Synergy 2, BioTek Instruments, Inc, Winooski, USA) at a setting excitation of 510 nm and emission at 580 nm using 200 μl/well of lysate. Each experiment was performed at least three times and used triplicate for each assay.

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.
