Treating cells with L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), an inhibitor that blocks the synthesis of GSH, renders neuronal SH-SY5Y cells expressing mutant valosin-containing protein (VCP) R487H more susceptible to oxidative stress (Hirano et al., 2015) and increases mutant SOD1 toxicity (Alvarez-Zaldiernas et al., 2016
Degradation assay Cells were treated in serum-free medium plus 11 mM glucose agonist (100 nM) before lysis (20 mM Tris base, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 0.5% Triton X-100 plus complete mini EDTA-free protease inhibitor (Roche)), addition of urea sample buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 2.5% SDS, 4 M urea, 100 mM DTT, 0.05% bromophenol blue), 10 min incubation at 37 C and immunoblotting
Severe SARS-CoV-2 infection with high cytokine levels causes T-cell exhaustion characterized by high levels of programmed cell death protein 1 and low numbers of CD4 + and CD8 + cells (Diao et al., 2020
