Abstract This protocol details the experimental procedure for performing the comet assay, a very sensitive DNA break assay based on single cell gel electrophoresis.The analysis of DNA strand breaks, both single- and double-strand breaks (SSBs and DSBs, respectively), was performed in immune responsive cells. The cell line used was the human monocytic cell line THP-1, an adherent cell type with many known applications in in vitro studies of innate immunity. The comet assay is a robust procedure that allows the accurate and reproducible quantification of DNA damage. Here we describe not only the comet assay step-by-step protocol, but also some important aspects related to troubleshooting.

Quinine, 4-aminopyridine and tetraethylammonium, three compounds generally used as effectors of K+ channels, strongly modify phospholipid metabolism. In the human monocytic cell line THP1, the three drugs enhanced the incorporation of [3H]serine into phosphatidylserine and that of [3H]inositol into phosphatidylinositol in the absence of significant changes in the uptake of the 3H labels. On the contrary, the biosynthesis of both phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine was strongly inhibited. This inhibition appeared to be mainly due to the inhibition of both [3H]choline and [3H]ethanolamine uptake by the cells, by impairment of choline transport in a competitive mode.
