Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays an important role in liver metabolism as a second messenger under physiological conditions, as well as in the development of oxidative stress and pathology. The major metabolic functions of the liver are carried out by hepatocytes, the parenchymal cells that constitute most of the liver mass. The study of oxidative stress in the liver, in particular the determination of a causal relationship between pathological progression and H2O2 production, requires an optimal model system. The chemogenetic system based on yeast d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) fused to the C-terminus of the HyPer7 biosensor has been established as a tool for controlled H2O2 production and examination of intracellular H2O2 dynamics in vitro and in vivo. This article details adeno associated virus (AAV)-mediated targeted delivery of the HyPer7-DAAO transgene into mouse liver, followed by isolation of primary hepatocytes for quantitative evaluation of intracellular H2O2 dynamics based on ratiometric HyPer7 fluorescence acquired by wide-field microscopy and subsequent image analysis. © 2026 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
