Quantifying Cellular Glutathione Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The relative GSH concentration in cell lysates was assessed using a kit from Nanjing Jiancheng (#A006-2) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The measurement of GSH used a kinetic assay, in which catalytic amounts (nmoles) of GSH caused a continuous reduction of 5, 5′-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) to 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid and the GSSG formed was recycled by glutathione reductase and NADPH. The yellow product (5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid) was measured spectrophotometrically at 420 nm. The values were normalized by protein concentration and presented as percentages relative to the negative control.

After determining the concentration of total protein in the supernatant of the pulmonary homogenate by the bicinchoninic acid method, the GSH and MDA contents and GSH-Px, (SOD), and CAT activities were measured by biochemical method following the instruction of reagent kits (A006-2, A003-1, A005, A001-3 and A007-1, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, China). The GSH assay was based on the development of a yellow color when 5,5′-dithio-bis-nitrobenzoic acid was added to compounds containing sulfhydryl groups. The MDA assay was determined by the thiobarbituric acid colorimetric method. The GSH-Px activity was detected by the consumption of GSH. The SOD activity was determined by the xanthine oxidase method. The CAT activity was determined by the H2O2 decomposition rate. The values were expressed as nmol/mg protein for GSH and MDA and units (U)/mg or U/g of protein for GSH-Px, SOD, and CAT.

Glutathione (GSH) concentrations in the T10 spinal cord specimens were measured on days 1, 3, and 7 post-injury using a GSH assay kit (A006-2, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute). Briefly, supernatant (0.1 mL) from the spinal cord homogenate was added to 0.1 mL of reagent 1, and the samples were centrifuged for 10 minutes at 986 × g. After centrifugation, the supernatants were collected. Sample detection was performed in accordance with the kit instructions. After the color reaction, the absorbance values at 405 nm were measured using a microplate reader (BioTek Epoch, Winooski, VT, USA). The absorbance values for the blank, standard, and experimental wells were recorded, and the experiments were repeated three times. The GSH concentrations were calculated according to the following formula: GSH concentration = (measured OD value – blank OD value)/(standard OD value – blank OD value) × GSH standard concentration (20 μM) × dilution factor /protein concentration of homogenate.

Whole blood samples were collected from the eye socket using 10% chloral hydrate and centrifuged at 1,000 × g for 20 min at 4°C to collect serum. After cooling to room temperature, 150 µl serum was used to detect the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px; A005), glutathione (GSH; A006-2), superoxide dismutase (SOD; A001-3) and malondialdehyde (MDA; A003-1; all Nanjing Jiancheng Biology Engineering Institute) using ELISA kits and a spectrophotometer (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Liver GSH was measured using colorimetric kits (#A006-2, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, Nanjing, China). The tissue was homogenized in mataphosphoric acid, and centrifuged at 3000g at 4°C for 10min. The upper aqueous layer was collected for measurement and mixed with 20μL sample and 120μL DTNB: Glutathian Reductase=1:1 solution; after 30s, 60μL B-NADPH was added and the absorbance at 412 nm was immediately read in microplate reader. The rate of 2-nitro-5-thiobenzoic acid formation was then calculated from a standard curve.

Protein samples were yielded from tissues and cells to determine GSH levels using a reduced GSH detection kit (A006-2, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China). Following the producer’s instructions, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in tissues and cells were examined using the fluorescent probe DCFH-DA (S0033S, Beyotime, Shanghai, China). The lysed tissues and cells were added with DCFH-DA and incubated at 37 C for 20 min and washed with PBS 3 times. The changes in the fluorescent intensity at a wavelength of 500/530 nm were determined using a fluorescent microplate reader (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), and the results were compared to the fluorescence intensity of the control group.
