Xanthine oxidase is a lab equipment product used for the detection and quantification of xanthine and hypoxanthine levels. It catalyzes the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid, a key step in purine metabolism. The enzyme can be used in various biochemical and analytical applications to measure these purine metabolites.

Determining Second-Order Rate Constants for O2•− Reactions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine second order rate constants of reactions with O2•−, each reactant was individually mixed with 50 μM p-nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT), an established O2•− scavenger with a second order rate constant of kNBT = (5.94 ± 0.5) × 104 M−1 s−1 (Bielski and Richter, 1977 ). The reactions were initiated by adding xanthine/xanthine oxidase as a source of O2•−. The ultimate reactions conditions were as follows: 0.1 M Na4P2O7, 100 nM deferoxamine (Sigma), 100 μM xanthine (Sigma), 10 mU xanthine oxidase (Sigma) at pH 8.3. The reaction between O2•− and NBT was monitored spectrophotometrically at 560 nm. The second order rate constants of each reactant was determined as a steady-state approximation by evaluating the reaction when rNBT = rreactantkNBT[NBT][O2•−] = kreacant[reactant][O2•−]. Therefore, kreacant = kNBT[NBT]/[reactant].

COS-7 cells were grown at a density of 15,000 cells/cm2 on glass coverslips. Cells were transfected with cDNA encoding GFP, GFP-Cypin or GFP-CypinS using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Forty-eight hours after transfection, cells were washed with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and images were taken using a fluorescence microscope. The protocol for the guanine deaminase assay was modified from Paletzki [14 (link)] as we have previously reported [3 (link)]. Cells were fixed for 1hr in 3% glutaraldehyde in 0.05M sodium cacodylate buffer, pH 7.8. Endogenous xanthine was removed by incubating the coverslips in 2.5U/ml xanthine oxidase (Sigma) in bicine buffer for 15–30 min at 37°C followed by two 5min rinses in bicine buffer. Cells were incubated in substrate solution (8mM guanine, 0.625U/ml xanthine oxidase, 0.9% 4-nitro blue tetrazolium chloride (NBT; Sigma) in 0.1M bicine pH 7.8) for 1–3hr at 37°C. The reaction was stopped by washing the cells in distilled water twice for 2 min and coverslips were mounted onto slides. Control reactions were performed without guanine.

For the phenotypic analysis, we tested the sensitivity of the PbSOD1 and PbSOD3 knockdown strains to conditions inducing oxidative stress. The sensitivity to exogenous ROS of SOD mutants was analyzed using hydrogen peroxide, xanthine oxidase and menadione. Hydrogen peroxide sensitivity was tested using H2O2-saturated filter disks. 1×105P. brasiliensis yeast cells were spread on BHI plates. After inoculation, sterile filter disks were loaded with 20 μl of PBS1X as a control, and 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 M of H2O2 (02194057, MP Biomedicals). Plates were incubated at 36°C with 5% CO2 and after eight days the area lacking P. brasiliensis growth was measured. For xanthine oxidase induced-oxidative stress, cells were incubated in 50 mM Tris pH 8, 100 μM hypoxanthine (H9636, Sigma) and 5 mU/ml xanthine oxidase (X4500, Sigma). Yeasts were incubated for 4 h at 36°C with shaking [20 (link)]. After this time, we plated serial dilutions of the experiment on Kurita’s medium in order to determine viable CFUs. Finally, menadione (M5625, Sigma) sensitiveness was evaluated in a 96-well plate. 1×104P. brasiliensis yeast cells were inoculated in each well, containing 0.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 μM menadione. Plates were incubated at 36°C during eight days, after incubation time, the plate results were recorded.

The explants were treated with 2.3 mM xanthine (X) and 0.015 U/mL xanthine oxidase (XO) (Sigma-Aldrich) to induce oxidative stress [8 (link),55 (link)]. Explants were incubated in X/XO in the presence or absence of 1 μg/mL hydroxychloroquine for 48 h at 37 °C in 20% oxygen, 5% CO2. Untreated cultures served as controls. Conditioned media were collected and stored at -80 °C in the presence of 0.005% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) to prevent autoxidation for activin A and 8-isoprostane assay measurements. Elevated levels of 8-isoprostane are a marker for lipid peroxidation caused by oxidative stress [56 (link)] and, in addition, high levels of activin A have been implicated in the pathway of placental oxidative stress [12 (link)].

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.
