The dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) fluorescent dye (Invitrogen) was employed to quantify cellular ROS intensity [25]. In brief, 1 μM of DCFH-DA were added to the cultured spinal cord neurons for 45 min. Neurons were then washedS, and subjected to examination of fluorescence intensity under a Fluorescence Microplate Reader (Synergy 2, BioTek, Winooski, VT). ROS intensity OD was expressed as fold change of untreated control group.
