Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7276953 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27306219 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28297659

Cystine is the oxidized dimer form of the amino acid cysteine. Cystine serves two biological functions, a site of redox reactions and a mechanical linkage that allows proteins to retain their 3-dimensional structure. It is common in many foods such as eggs, meat, dairy products, and whole grains as well as skin, horns and hair. Human hair and skin contain approximately 10–14% cystine by mass. Cysteine supplements are sometimes marketed as anti-aging products with claims of improved skin elasticity. Cysteine is more easily absorbed by the body than cystine, so most supplements contain cysteine rather than cystine. N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) is better absorbed than other cysteine or cystine supplements.

Sample Use Guides

The subjects in the C/T group were orally administered an amino acid supplement, which contained 700 mg cystine and 280 mg theanine (total weight, 1.7 g; Ajinomoto, Tokyo, Japan), once a day starting 1 week before and ending at the same time as the administration of S-1 (a total of 35 days)
Route of Administration: Oral
200,000 hTERT-HME cell were plated in 6-well plates and switched to cystine-deprived media for 12 hr prior to FACS analysis. CMDCFDA and C11-BODIPY581/591 (Molecular Probes; Thermo Fisher) were used to detect total and lipid ROS, respectively. Following deprivation of cystine for 12 hr, cells were washed with PBS, loaded with either CMDCFDA (10 mM) or C11 BODIPY (2 mM) in DPBS for 30 min, trypsinized with 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA, resuspended inPBSwith1%FBS, and analyzed using an AttuneNxT flow cytometer (Thermo Fisher). Dyes were excited using a blue 488-nm laser, and emission was recorded on BL1 (530/30) for a minimum of 5,000 cells per sample.
