Sensitive enzymatic cycling assay for glutathione and glutathione disulfide content
Background
It is crucial to develop reliable techniques for accurately detecting and measuring glutathione (GSH) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) content in biological samples. However, there is currently not yet a full consensus on the best approach for preparing and analyzing samples to obtain accurate quantitative results.
Results
This study screened N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) as a masking agent and 5-sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) as a protein removal agent to establish a standard and stable method for GSH and GSSG determination. Subsequently, the method was validated in cells, mouse blood and tissues. Standard concentration curves were used to determine the levels of GSH and GSSG in HeLa and LO2 cells before and after treatment with the GSH inhibitor, buthionine sulfoximine (BSO). The results showed that after incubation with BSO, the total GSH and GSH/GSSG ratios were significantly lower than those in the control group. Likewise, BSO verification has also been successfully applied to the quantification of mouse tissue and blood. After incubation with BSO for 3 h, the GSH content in the liver and kidneys significantly decreased, and the GSH concentration in mouse plasma was about 50 μM.
Significance
This work demonstrates a sensitive and accurate enzymatic cycling method for the detection of GSH and GSSG content in cells, tissues and blood, helping to build consensus on GSH to GSSG ratios in different sample types.
期刊介绍:
Analytica Chimica Acta has an open access mirror journal Analytica Chimica Acta: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Analytica Chimica Acta provides a forum for the rapid publication of original research, and critical, comprehensive reviews dealing with all aspects of fundamental and applied modern analytical chemistry. The journal welcomes the submission of research papers which report studies concerning the development of new and significant analytical methodologies. In determining the suitability of submitted articles for publication, particular scrutiny will be placed on the degree of novelty and impact of the research and the extent to which it adds to the existing body of knowledge in analytical chemistry.
