• the gastric mucosa was homogenized in caspase lysis buffer (provided with the respective kit). The homogenate was centrifuged at 16,000 x g for 15 min. The supernatant was collected and mixed with 50 ⁇ of 2 x reaction buffer (provided with the respective kit). This was followed by addition of the substrates: Ac- DEDV-pNA (200 ⁇ final concentration) for caspase-3 and LEHD-pNA (200 ⁇ final concentration) for caspase-9.
• Mitochondrial transmembrane potential ( ⁇ , ⁇ ) was measured as described (Maity, P.; et al. J. Biol. Chem. 284:3058-3068; 2009, Maity, P.; et al . J. Biol. Chem. 283:14391- 14401; 2008, Maity, P.; et al . J. Pineal Res. 46:314-323; 2009). Mitochondria were isolated from gastric mucosal scraping using Mitoisolation kit (Biochain) as described above.
• Equal amount of mitochondria (25 ⁇ g) from each group was taken in 100 ⁇ of JC-1 assay buffer (100 mM MOPS, pH 7.5, containing 550 mM KC1, 50 mM ATP, 50 mM MgCl 2 , 50 mM sodium succinate, 5 mM EGTA) and were incubated in dark with JCl (300 nM) for 15 min at 25 °C.

• Mitochondrial metabolic function was studied by observing the ability of mitochondrial dehydrogenases to reduce MTT ([3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide]) into formazan dye (Pal, C; et al. Free Radic Biol Med, 49(2), 258-267; 2010).
• MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide]
• Equal number of gastric mucosal primary cultured cells were taken (10 6 ) in each well of a 12 well plate and were divided into three groups control, indomethacin treated (5 mM) and SEGA (50 ⁇ ) plus indomethacin (5 mM)-treated.
• Isolated mucosal cells from both control and indomethacin-treated cultured gastric mucosa were used for detection of intra mitochondrial superoxide using MitoSOX, an superoxide-sensitive fluorescence probe following the protocol as described in the product catalogue (Maity, P.; et al. J. Biol. Chem. 284:3058-3068; 2009) .
• Cells were stained with the respective fluorescent probe in HBSS (pH 7.4) and incubated for 15 min at 37 °C in the dark as described in the manufacture's protocols. After the incubation, cells were washed with HBSS three times and continued for fluorescence microscopy (Leica, DM-2500, Leica Microsystems). Staining of MitoSOX was visualized using Red filter.
• Example 27 Measurement of free iron
• Isolated mucosal cells from both control and indomethacin-treated cultured gastric mucosa were used for free iron localization using Phen Green SK, an iron-sensitive fluorescence probe following the protocol as described in the product catalogue (Maity, P.; et al. J. Biol. Chem. 284:3058-3068; 2009).
• Cells were first incubated with Phen Green SK (20 ⁇ ) for 15 min at 37 °C in the dark. After the incubation, cells were washed with HBSS and used for fluorescence microscopy (Leica, DM-2500, Leica Microsystems). Staining of pheen Green SK was visualized using green filter.
