The Importance of Lipid Radicals in Ferroptosis

Ferroptosis is a form of cell death triggered by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and has been increasingly implicated in various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and age-related disorders. Lipid radicals are key intermediates involved in the propagation of lipid peroxidation chain reactions and are attracting attention as indicators of early changes and progression of lipid oxidation during ferroptosis.

NBD-Pen enables detection of lipid radicals generated within cells. Simply add the reagent to cultured cells to detect intracellular lipid radicals using fluorescence microscopy or flow cytometry.

Features Specifically detects lipid peroxides.

Binds to lipid radicals, enabling detection of changes in lipid localization after the reaction.

Ratiometric detection enables quantification using a plate reader.

High Selectivity for Lipid Radicals

The reactive oxygen species listed below were mixed with this reagent in 100 mmol/l phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), and the fluorescence intensity was measured after a 30-minute reaction.

Detection of Intracellular Lipid Radicals

Treatment of HT1080 cells with the ferroptosis inducer RSL3 resulted in an increase in intracellular lipid radicals. Furthermore, co-treatment with the lipid radical scavenger Liproxstatin-1 (Lip-1) resulted in a decrease in the signal, indicating that this reagent selectively detects lipid radicals.

Quantification of Intracellular Lipid Radicals

HT1080 cells were treated with the ferroptosis inducer RSL3, and the increase in intracellular lipid radicals was quantified by flow cytometry.

Fluorescence Properties

Q & A

Q

How many samples can be measured with this product?

A

The number of samples that can be measured with 10 nmol of this product is as follows:

  • 96-well plate: 1 plate
  • ibidi 8-well plate: 50 wells
  • 35 mm dish: 5 dishes
  • 6-well plate: 5 wells

Q

Is there an experimental example that can be used as a positive control?

A

Please refer to the instruction manual for the lipid radical detection experiment using HeLa cells treated with cumene hydroperoxide.

Q

Can NBD-Pen be used for observation after cell fixation following staining?

A

Yes. We have confirmed that cells can be observed after fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS following staining.

Q

What precautions should be taken when observing samples with a fluorescence microscope?

A

NBD, the fluorescent scaffold of this probe, is susceptible to photobleaching when continuously exposed to excitation light. When acquiring imaging data, adjust the focus under bright-field observation before acquiring fluorescence images.

Q

How long can samples be observed after staining?

A

We have confirmed that samples can be observed for up to 24 hours after staining.
