The concentration of intracellular glutamate was detected using the Amplex®Red Glutamic Acid / Glutamate Oxidase Assay Kit (Invitrogen, USA) according to the manufacture′s procedure. TGF-β1-treated cells were lysed by RIPA buffer supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail. 50 μl of supernatant or H2O2 positive control was diluted by 1 × reaction buffer, then 50 μl of Amplex®Red reagent / HRP / glutamate oxidase / glutamate—pyruvate transaminase / alanine working solution was added to start the reaction. The sample was incubated at 37°C for 30 min in darkness. The plate was measured at 530 / 590 nm to calculate the concentration of intracellular glutamate.

Fresh brain slices (350 μm thickness) were prepared as described above. The slices were incubated at room temperature in ACSF with continuous oxygenization for 1 hr prior to treatment in order to recover. The slices were then treated with either 10 nM pure synthetic [Aβ40S26C]2 solution or blank vehicle for 2 hr by incubating at room temperature with continuous oxygenation. The solution from each incubation chamber was sampled every hour. Fresh solution was added to corresponding chambers after sampling to maintain the same volume. The glutamate level in each sample was determined by Amplex® Red Glutamic Acid/Glutamate Oxidase Assay Kit (Invitrogen, Grand Island, New York).

Peroxide was determined by a method based on the commercial Amplex® Red Glutamic Acid/Glutamate Oxidase Assay Kit (Invitrogen). The reaction mixture contained 25 mM L-phenylalanine, 10 μM pvLAAD protein and with or without 2 mg/mL of E. coli membrane. Reactions were incubated at 37 °C for 60 min. Then, working solution (100 μM Amplex® Red reagent, 0.25 U/mL HRP) was added, and the reactions were incubated at 37 °C for 40 min. Then, fluorescence emission at 585 nm (excited at 571 nm) were recorded using a microplate reader (Flex Station 3, Molecular Devices). The reactions without pvLAAD protein were used as the blank control. The standard curve of H2O2 concentrations was generated using H2O2 samples at different concentrations (5000, 2000, 1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5 μM).

Cells were seeded at 4 × 103 per well and cultured in 200 μl glutamate/glutamine-free medium with 10 % dialyzed FBS. At measurement, half of the volume was removed from each well for glutamate assay and cell viability immediately assessed by MTT assay. Amplex Red Glutamic Acid/Glutamate Oxidase Assay Kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and Glutamate Assay Kit (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) was used to measure glutamate concentration in culture medium.

The release of intracellular glutamate into the extracellular medium was quantified using the Amplex Red Glutamic Acid/Glutamate Oxidase Assay Kit (Invitrogen, A12221) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Specifically, upon completing the treatment, cells in 6-well plates were subjected to two washes with PBS and then incubated in Na+-containing and glutamine-free media containing either DMSO or erastin for 1 hour. Subsequently, 50 μl of the medium from each well was transferred to a 96-well plate and incubated with 50 μl of a reaction mixture for 30 minutes. The fluorescence intensity of each sample was then measured using a fluorescence plate reader. After normalizing the fluorescent signal to the total cell number at the end of the experiment, the amount of glutamate release was expressed as a percentage of the control group with no treatment (DMSO).

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.
