I determined the antioxidant activity of different drugs in human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) after the exposure to H2O2.
HGF were grown until confluence in 96-well fluorescence plates (7000 cells/well). At this point, cells were incubated for 0.5 hours with 100 µM H2O2 (H2O2-stimulated group), or in normal conditions (basal group). Then, cells were washed with PBS and treated with an antioxidant molecule or vehicle control overnight added to growth media. Growth medium was removed and cells were stained with 10 µM H2DCF-DA in growth media without fetal calf serum for 0.5 hours at 37˚C. Then, a fluorometer was set to record fluorescence of H2DCF-DA according to the manufacturer's protocol.
