IL-1α and TGF-β were measured in cell-free supernatants obtained from the PBMCs culture, respectively, after 5 and 24 h of treatment, using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits (ELISAs) (eBioscience, CA, United States; R&D Systems, United States).
The level of 8-OH-dG was measured following manufacturer’s instructions (Elabscience, Houston, TX United States) after 1 h of treatment.

ELISA kits of IL-6, TNF-α, and 8-OHDG were purchased from Elabscience (Wuhan, China). Experiments were conducted following the ELISA kit protocol. The standard curve and sample wells were prepared separately as instructed, and the absorbance of each well was measured at 450nm. Each sample was represented in triplicates. Standard curves were plotted, and R2 greater than 0.99 was considered reliable and used for calculating concentration.

About 0.1 g of the right ovaries of each animal were homogenized on ice in 10 ml of cold phosphate buffer solution. The resultant solutions were centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for15 mins in cold centrifuge after which the supernatant was decanted into tubes and stored at −20°C for biochemical assay later.
The ovarian concentrations of UA [26 (link)], MDA [27 (link)], and GSH [28 (link)] were assayed by colorimetric method as previously reported. The activities of XO [27 (link)], superoxide dismutase (SOD) [28 (link)], catalase [28 (link)], glutathione peroxidase (GPx) [29 (link)], glutathione-S-transferase (GST) [27 (link)], and myeloperoxidase (MPO) [29 (link)] in the ovarian tissues were assayed by colorimetry as earlier documented. Also, the ovarian levels of TNF-α (Elabscience Biotechnology Inc., U.S.A.), IL-6 (Elabscience Biotechnology Inc., U.S.A.), 8OHdG (Elabscience Biotechnology Inc., U.S.A.), and VCAM-1 (Elabscience, Wuhan, China) as well as the activity of caspase 3 (Elabscience Biotechnology Inc., U.S.A.) were determined using ELISA kit following the manufacturers’ guidelines. Ovarian DNA fragmentation index was determined by diphenylamine methods as previously reported [25 ].

COPD Cytokine and Oxidative Stress Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IL-18 and IL-33 were measured in cell-free supernatants (75 × 104 cells/well) using commercially available ELISA kits (eBioscience, CA, USA). No differences in cytokine release were observed according to stage of COPD patients. 8-OH-dG was measured following manufacturer’s instructions after 3 h of treatment (5 × 106 cells/well) (Elabscience, USA). The release of caspase-4 was analyzed by an ELISA kit patented by ImmunePharma s.r.l. (RM2014A000080 and PCT/IB2015/051262) (Department of Pharmacy, University of Salerno, Italy). According to the patent policy, and because it is still not commercially available, it is not at the moment possible to describe the technical approach to determine the release of caspase-4 by using the ImmunePharma’s ELISA kit.

A total of 8 biomarkers of interest under different categories of biological process were investigated in this study, including antioxidant and oxidative damage [including superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), and 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG)], inflammation [C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)], nutrient metabolism [vitamin D], and genomic stability [telomerase]. Commercially available metabolism assay kits that were used for the detection of SOD activity and MDA levels, as well as the ELISA kits that were used for the detection of 8-OHdG, CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, vitamin D, and telomerase, were all purchased from Elabscience Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Wuhan, China). The metabolism assays and the ELISA tests were conducted based on the protocol stated in the user manual.

Spectrophotometric methods using standard laboratory reagents were used to determine the cardiac tissue levels of MDA [20 (link)], GSH [21 (link)], and nitric oxide (NO) [22 (link)].
Standard ELISA kits were used for the in vitro quantitative determination of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) (Cat#E-EL-0028) Collagen type III (COL3) (Cat#E-EL-R0235) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) (Cat#E-EL-R 2603), and procured from Elabscience, Wuhan, China.

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.
