M059K In Vitro H2O2 Assay (Oxidative Stress) (CAT#: ITS-1022-YF4265)

M059K

Human

M059K cells were isolated from a tumor specimen from a 33 year-old male patient with untreated glioblastoma. These cells were isolated concurrently from the same tumor specimen as M059J.

M059K-cell based In Vitro H2O2 Assay (Oxidative Stress)

Some products of chemical reactions/modifications (e.g., H2O2 and GSH) have been considered as ideal indicators of cellular oxidative stress. H2O2 concentration increases during oxidative stress at cellular level.

Oxidative Stress Assays

Disturbance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), free radicals and antioxidant mechanisms is defined as the oxidative stress, or more precisely, it is an imbalance between the oxidant and antioxidant state in cells. This imbalance can cause harmful effects to cells and biomolecules, which ultimately causes adverse effects in the whole organism. Oxidative imbalance can target important proteinsand lipids in cells, which can increase the risk of developing a cancer. On the other hand, increased ROS production in cancer cells by certain cancer drugs can also arrest cancer cell cycle and cause senescence and apoptosis through oxidative stress.
