Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To study PGD-KO-induced metabolic changes, isogenic WM793 cells were treated with 1 μg/ml doxycycline. After 6 days, the cells were counted and re-suspended at a density of 1*106/ml in PBS. 25 μl cells from each biological replicate were used for GSH/GSSG-Glo assay (Promega). This procedure was used in Figure 4L. To study 6AN-induced metabolic changes, WM793 cells were seeded in T75 flasks at a density of 1.5*106/15 ml. 20 μM 6AN or vehicle control was added on the next day. After 2 days, the cells were counted and re-suspended at a density of 1*106/ml in PBS. 25 μl cells from each biological replicate were used for GSH/GSSG-Glo assay (Promega) and 500 μl cells from each biological replicate were used for NADPH assay (AAT Bioquest). This procedure was used in Figures 4K and S4J.

Quantifying Oxidative Stress with GSH/GSSG Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cellular ROS was measured through the detection glutathione in its reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms using the luminescence-based GSH/GSSG-Glo Assay (Promega, V6611). Briefly, the Promega GSH/GSSG-Glo Assay is a linked assay utilizing glutathione S-transferase and Luciferin-NT that generates a luminescent signal in response to levels of GSH present in the sample. The ratio of GSH to GSSG can then be calculated to give a read out of oxidative stress in the cells, where a decrease in the ratio indicates an increase in oxidative stress. All reactions and calculations were carried out as per the manufacturer’s instructions. The final ratio of GSH/GSSG was normalized to protein content to control for any changes in cell number. Protein was quantified using the Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 23227) as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cells were seeded into the white-walled clear bottom 96-well plates (Corning). On day two, ratios of NADPH/NADP+ and GSH/GSSG were measured with NADP+/NADPH-Glo and GSH/GSSG-Glo Assays (Promega) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Luminescence was measured using a Synergy H1 Multi-Mode reader.

Glutathione Redox Analysis in Neurons

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We measured both reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione for ratiometric analysis of glutathione redox metabolism using a luminescent-based GSH/GSSG-Glo assay (Promega). Primary hippocampal neurons were seeded in white 96-well plates with clear bottom and cultured for 15 days and subjected to the assay in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, total and GSSG-converted GSH levels were separately measured from two identical configurations. Based on these measures, the levels of GSH and GSSG were calculated and normalized to DNA content per well quantified by using the CyQUANT assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Reduced and oxidized forms of glutathione were measured in three biological replicates with the GSH/GSSG-Glo™ assay (Promega) according to manufacturer’s instructions. A total of 5 × 102 fibroblasts were seeded in duplicates in 96-well plates. The next day, cells were lysed with either total or oxidized glutathione lysis reagent for 5 min on a plate shaker at room temperature (RT). Luciferin generation and detection reagents were subsequently added and incubated at RT for 30 and 15 min, respectively, before recording luminescence.

After nsPEFs exposure with or without calcium ions, cells were seeded into white 96-well microculture plates at the concentration of 5 × 103 cells/well. The level of reduced and oxidized glutathione was determined after 24 h by a luminescence-based assay (GSH/GSSG-Glo™ Assay, Promega, Walldorf, Germany) using a multiwell scanning spectrophotometer at 570 nm (EnSpire Perkin Elmer, Warsaw, Poland). The experimental procedure was performed according to our previous study [40 (link)]. Experiments were repeated in triplicate. The results were expressed as a ratio of the reduced and oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG).

GSH (reduced glutathione) and GSSG (oxidized glutathione) were measured by use of GSH/GSSG Glo assay (Promega, Fitchburg, WI, US). The cells were seeded in white, 96-well plates at 4,000 cells per well. After adhering overnight, the cells were either left untreated or exposed to 5 mM DHA for 24 and 48 h. At the end of treatment time, cells were counted on a Celigo to normalize for variations in cell density, then assayed according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Following assay incubation, luminescence was recorded on Tecan M1000. Luminescence values were normalized to cell count and then expressed as a percentage of the untreated control. Results presented as the mean ± SEM of three replicates.

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.
