HCT116

Human

HCT 116 cell line was isolated from the colon of an adult male with colon cancer. It has a mutation in codon 13 of the ras proto-oncogene and can be d as a positive control for PCR assays of mutation in this codon.

In Vitro GSH Assay (Oxidative Stress)

HCT116-cell based In Vitro GSH Assay (Oxidative Stress)

Depletion of GSH levels is one of the key indicators of oxidative stress. GSH is normally present as a disulfide dimer oxidized GSH, which can be converted to GSH by the enzyme glutathione reductase.

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.
