Intracellular ROS production was measured using a ROS assay kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, China) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, the cells were seeded at 24-well plates and treated by different concentrations of SANG or NAC for different periods of time. The cells were added with 10 mM DCFH-DA and incubated for 30 min at 37°C. The ROS production in the cells was determined by measuring the OD values at excitation/emission wavelengths of 488/525 nm using a fluorescence spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Japan).

Titration Monitoring of SSB-ssDNA Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Titrations to monitor the binding of SSBf to ssDNA were performed by monitoring the fluorescence enhancement at 25°C, using a Shimadzu fluorescence spectrophotometer set at an excitation wavelength of 495 nm and an emission wavelength of 520 nm. Excitation and emission slits were set to a bandwidth of 3 and 10 nm, respectively. The concentration of SSBf was 100 nM (tetramer). Titrations were performed in 20 mM TrisOAc (pH 8.0), 1 mM DTT, and the indicated concentration of salt. The fluorescence values were corrected for dilution and normalized to the fold increase in fluorescence (fluorescence intensity of SSBf plus ssDNA divided by the SSBf fluorescence in the absence of ssDNA). The site size of SSB was determined by fitting the data to a two-segment line, where the x- and y-intercepts of the first segment and the slope of the second segment were constrained to zero. The x-intercept between the segments was taken to be the stoichiometric breakpoint of the titration. Data fitting was performed using GraphPad Prism version 5.0d. All equilibrium titrations were performed in triplicate and report the mean and standard deviation from each experiment.

FCTs-JG surface hydrophobicity (H0) was assessed by measuring the interaction with the hydrophobic fluorescent dye of ANS, following a method with slight modifications by (Jiang et al., 2022c (link)). Specifically, 20 μL of an 8 mM ANS solution was added to 200 μL of 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 mg/mL sample solutions, prepared in neutral PBS (10 mM). FL intensity was recorded at 390 nm (excitation) and 470 nm (emission) using a Shimadzu fluorescence spectrophotometer (Tokyo, Japan). The initial slope of fluorescence intensity versus protein concentration plot was utilized as the index of H0.

The absorption titration spectra were recorded on a U3010 UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) by sequential addition of a specified volume of ctDNA stock solution into a 1 cm path length cuvette containing V18 solution (10 μM). After every addition of ctDNA solution, the absorption spectra were recorded from 190 to 600 nm. The intrinsic binding constant of compounds with ctDNA was determined by the equation from [27 (link),28 (link)].
All fluorescence spectra were recorded on a fluorescence spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Tokyo, Japan) using a 1 cm quartz cuvette in the wavelength range from 190 to 600 nm, and 522 nm was chosen as the excitation wavelength. Excitation and emission slit widths were set as 5 and 10 nm, respectively. The experimental data were plotted according to the Stern–Volmer equation in [29 (link),30 (link)]. In competition binding experiments, the concentrations of EB and ctDNA were 20 μM and 100 μM, respectively, while the V18 concentration was varied from 0 to 12 μM.

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.
