The measurement of SOD activity is based on the inhibition of nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction by O2•− [47 ,48 (link)]. Pancreas homogenates were incubated in 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.8) containing 1 mM diethylen-etriaminepentaacetic acid (DETAPAC) (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO #D6518), 0.13% BSA, 1 unit/ml catalase (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, #C-40), 56 μM NBT (Sigma Aldrich St. Louis, MO, #N6876), 0.1 mM xanthine (Sigma Aldrich St. Louis, MO, #X0125), and 50 μM bathocuproine disulfonic acid (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, #146625) for 30 min. xanthine oxidase (Sigma Aldrich St. Louis, MO, #X187) was added to give an NBT reduction rate of 0.015–0.025/min at 560 nm. One minute after sample solution was mixed with 0.01 units/ml xanthine oxidase, the absorbance was measured at 560 nm for 2 min at 15 s intervals. To assay MnSOD, 5 mM NaCN (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, #380970) was added to the buffer and allowed to incubate for 1 hr. One unit of SOD activity was defined as the quantity of protein required for half of the maximal inhibition of NBT reduction.

Cells grown in 100 mm2 dishes were treated with IR, ascorbate, or in combination. After treatments, cells were washed with PBS and harvested by trypsinization (floating cells in culture media and PBS were collected and combined with trypsinized cells). After centrifugation, cell pellets were suspended in 100 μL PCA buffer (5% perchloric acid with 100 μM DETAPAC (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid); Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO) to precipitate protein. Samples were sonicated and centrifuged at 18,500 g for 5 min at 4 ° C using an Eppendorf Microcentrifuge. Supernatants were collected and stored at −80 ° C or analyzed immediately using HPLC (ESA CoulArray, Dionex/Thermo Scientific, Sunnyvale, CA) with electrochemical detection (ECD) following the protocol described in Park et al. (18 (link)). In addition, in separate groups of treated mice, red blood cells (RBCs) were harvested and centrifuged (500 g for 5 min). The plasma was removed from the sample and the remaining pellet of intact RBCs was washed twice with cold isotonic saline. An aliquot was removed for counting by a hemocytometer. From the RBC pellet, 100 μL of RBCs were lysed with 300 μL of PCA buffer and then centrifuged to pellet the protein (500 g, 5 min). The clean supernatant was stored at −80 ° C or immediately analyzed for total glutathione (tGSH) using a plate-reader based assay (19 (link)).

One million cells were lysed in 1.34mM Diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (DETAPAC, Sigma) dissolved in 143 mM sodium phosphate (Sigma), 6.3 mM EDTA (Sigma), and 5% 5-sulfosalicylic acid (SSA, Sigma). 50 μL of lysate were mixed with 700 μL 0.298 mM NADPH (Sigma) in sodium phosphate buffer, 100 μL 6mM 5,5′-dithio-bis-2-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB, Sigma) sodium phosphate buffer, 100 μL water (Corning), and 50 μL 0.023 U/μL glutathione reductase (GR) (Sigma). The kinetic absorbance was read at 412 nm every 15 s for 2.5 min using xMark Microplate Absorbance Spectrophotometer (BioRad), and the rates were compared to a standard curve. Tumors were chopped and lysed in DETAPAC buffer before assayed. Protein concentrations were measured for standardization of total glutathione levels.

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.
