7-Dichlorofluorescin Diacetate (DCFDA) Assay for Production of Reactive Oxygen Species Cells were incubated in 10 M DCFDA (Sigma) in PBS at 37C for 30 min as previously described (Chiu et al., Quantification of 8-Hydroxy-2-Deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) as a Marker for Oxidative DNA Damage We used 8-Hydroxy-2-Deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) as a biomarker for oxidative DNA on brain cells exposed to different treatments using the commercially available HT 8-OH-dG ELISA II kit (R&D Systems) as guided by the manufacturers instructions
Preventing this decrease, with the administration of a SIRT-1 activator, reversed ROS bursts, increased downstream nuclear PGC-1a and Nrf2 expression, and attenuated increases in mitochondrial membrane potential and neuronal apoptosis induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury [78]
