Description & Advantages

Lipid peroxidation generally refers to the oxidative degradation of cellular lipids by reactive oxygen species. Peroxidation of unsaturated lipids affects cell membrane properties, signal transduction pathways, apoptosis, and the deterioration of foods and other biological compounds. Lipid peroxidation degradation forms reactive aldehydes such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). In this process free radicals take electrons from the lipids (generally in cell membranes), resulting in cell damage. Therefore MDA and 4-HNE are often used as markers of lipid peroxidation, and to assay for oxidative damage / oxidative stress.

MCE Lipid Peroxidation (MDA) Assay Kit is suitable for measuring MDA levels in a variety of samples including plasma, serum, urine, tissues or cell lysates. The detection principle is that the MDA in the sample reacts with thiobarbituric acid (TBA) to generate a MDA-TBA adduct (The reaction principle is illustrated in the following figure). The MDA-TBA adduct can be quantified colorimetrically (OD = 535 nm) fluorescent (Ex/Em = 532/553 nm) detection.

Protocols

Instructions for Use (Using a Cell Sample as an Example)

Sample Preparation

1. Cell Collection: Since MDA content in cell samples is relatively low, a larger quantity of cells (≥ 106) should be prepared.

2. Lyse the cells using RIPA Lysis Buffer (containing 0.5% antioxidant), and quantify protein content by the Bradford assay to facilitate subsequent normalization. Note: Add 0.5% antioxidant to the RIPA buffer before lysis.

Standard Solution Preparation

Prepare a series of standard solutions at different concentrations by diluting with cell lysis buffer (see table below):

Group Lysis Buffer Volume Standard Volume Final Standard Concentration
A 307.2 μL 12.8 μL of 1 mM MDA 40 μM
B 100 μL 100 μL from A 20 μM
C 100 μL 100 μL from B 10 μM
D 100 μL 100 μL from C 5 μM
E 100 μL 100 μL from D 2.5 μM
F 100 μL 100 μL from E 1.25 μM
G 100 μL 100 μL from F 0.63 μM
H 100 μL 100 μL from G, discard 100 μL 0.31 μM
I 100 μL 0 0

Detection

1. Ensure that the volume of both the standard solutions and the samples is 100 μL.

2. In advance, warm the MDA Detection Reagent until fully dissolved, then cool to room temperature down to 30-40°C. Dissolve the antioxidant at 30-40°C and add it to the MDA Detection Reagent at a final concentration of 0.1%. Note: Do not allow the MDA Detection Reagent to cool below this range or place it on ice.

3. Add 200 μL of the antioxidant-containing MDA Detection Reagent to each standard tube and sample tube. The reaction mixture may become turbid upon addition of the detection reagent; do not vortex vigorously — mix gently, then heat in a 95°C water bath for 30 min.

4. After heating, cool on ice to 4°C, then centrifuge at 13,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C.

5. Transfer 200 μL of the supernatant to a
