ROS Detection in ARPE-19 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected using the non-fluorescent probe 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA). DCFH-DA diffused into cells and hydrolyzed into the 2′,7′-dichlorofluorescein (DCFH) which was hard to pass through the cytomembrane. Then DCFH reacted with ROS to form the fluorescent product DCF. Briefly, ARPE-19 cells and hRPE were transfected with p22phox siRNA and stimulated with Ang II as aforementioned. Then the medium was removed and cells were washed with ice-cold PBS. DCFH-DA (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was diluted in fresh DMEM/F12 at a final concentration of 10 μM and incubated with cells for 30 min at 37 °C. After DCFH-DA treatment, the chemicals were removed and loaded cells were washed three times with PBS. The fluorescence was read at 488 nm excitation and 525 nm emission by the BD FACS Vantage SE Flow Cytometer (BD, Shanghai, China).

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid blood in 2003 by standard-density centrifugation using Percoll (Pan-Biotech, Aidenbach, Germany) and double stained with mouse anti-human Vβ1 (clone BL37.2) and CD8+ (clone LT8). CD8+Vβ1+ double-positive T cells were sorted using a BD FACSVantage SE flow cytometer and analyzed by single-cell PCR. Cells were either sorted directly into PCR tubes or obtained as bulk and then isolated by hand under a microscope. CD8+ T cells from 2003 to 2005 were analyzed by complementarity determining region (CDR) 3 spectratyping, as described previously.6 (link)To isolate MAIT cells from PBMCs in 2013 and 2014, T cells were negatively isolated using the pan T-cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec) and subsequently stained with the FITC-labeled mouse anti-human Vα7.2 (1:20, 3C10, BioLegend) and the allophycocyanin-labeled mouse anti-human CD161 (1:10, 191B8, Miltenyi Biotec) antibodies at 4°C for 30 minutes. Cells were then sorted using a BD FACSAriaTM2 flow cytometer. 5 × 102 CD161+Vα7.2+ cells, 6 × 103 CD161Vα7.2+ cells, 1 × 105 CD161+ cells, and 2 × 105 CD161 cells were collected. CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were positively isolated from PBMCs in 2013 and 2014 using magnetic beads (Miltenyi Biotec).

Cellular apoptosis was analyzed using Annexin V and propidium iodide (PI) kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To determine the cell cycle assay, the treated cells were harvested, fixed overnight with 70% ethanol at 4 °C and incubated with PI staining reagent46 . Then the stained cells were subjected to a BD FACSVantage SE Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Data were analyzed using Flow Jo 7.6.1 (Tree Star Inc., Ashland, OR, USA) and Modfit (BD Biosciences, USA) software.

To evaluate the surface expression of ALDH1, PD-L1, or anti-PD-L1 CAR, cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline containing 2% bovine serum albumin (Sigma-Aldrich) and incubated with phycoerythrin- or allophycocyanin-labeled mouse anti-human antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). Isotype antibodies were used as control. The stained cells were evaluated using a BD FACS Vantage SE Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences, USA), and the results were analyzed using the included software.

The effect of high glucose on ROS generation was detected by 2′,7′-Dichlorofluorescein Diacetate (DCFH-DA, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and Dihydroethidium (DHE, BestBio, China). Before stimulation, neutrophils were preloaded with DCFH-DA and DHE (10 μM with 5.5 mM glucose DMEM) for 20 min. Next, we removed the medium and washed the loaded cells with PBS three times. Then, neutrophils were exposed to DMEM medium with different glucose concentrations (5.5, 15, 25, and 35 mM), and stimulation of each concentration lasted for 15 and 30, 60, and 120 min. Finally, the fluorescence signals of DCFH-DA was read at 488 nm excitation and 525 nm emission by the BD FACS Vantage SE Flow Cytometer (BD), and DHE was read at 535 nm excitation and 610 nm emission by a microplate reader (Thermo Fischer).

For fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), the entire cell suspension obtained from collagenase digestion of tissue fragments (~5x106 cells/10x102 mg), was pelleted, resuspended and preincubated in PBS/1% BSA for 30 min on ice with regular mixing. After washing in PBS, cells were incubated for 30 minutes on ice with a phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated anti-human CD146 monoclonal antibody for separation of cell subsets [25 (link)]. CD146+ cells were sorted using a FACSvantageSE flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson). ~5x104 (~1% of total nucleated cells) freshly vital CD146+ cells were harvested from the digestion of tissue fragments. For flow cytometry, the entire human freshly collagenase-released muscle cell suspensions before culture, were pre-incubated in PBS/1% BSA for 30 min, then for 30 min on ice with antibodies for analysis of cell subsets co-expressing CD146 along with N-CAM/CD56, a marker of satellite cells, Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and CD34 as a marker of endothelial cells (listed in S1 Table). Expression of markers was assessed by using a FACSCalibur flow cytometer and CellQuest software (Becton Dickinson Biosciences, San Diego, CA).

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.
