Preparation and Photopolymerization of Sil-MA for DLP Printing

Cited 7 times

B. mori cocoons were obtained from the Rural Development Administration (Jeonju, Korea). Each silkworm cocoon was sliced into four pieces. A unit of 40 g of sliced cocoons were boiled in 1 L of 0.05 M Na₂CO₃ solution for 30 min at 100 °C to remove the sericins, and then washed with distilled water several times. Figure 1b is a schematic diagram illustrating the preparation and photopolymerization of the Sil-MA used for the DLP printer. Subsequently, degummed silk was dried at room temperature and 20 g of it was dissolved in 100 mL of 9.3 M lithium bromide (LiBr) solution at 60 °C for 1 h. Right after SF was solved by LiBr, 2, 4, 6, and 10 mL (141, 282, 424, and 705 mM) of GMA solution (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, USA) were added to the mixture stirring with a speed of 300 rpm for 3 h at 60 °C to create a high yield reaction between GMA and SF. Then, the resulting solution was filtered through a miracloth (Calbiochem, San Diego, USA) and dialyzed against distilled water using 12–14 kDa cutoff dialysis tubes for 4 days. Finally, methacrylated SF solutions were frozen in −80 °C for 12 h and freeze-dried for 48 h. Lyophilized methacrylated SF (Sil-MA) powder was stored −80 °C for further use.

Plant tissues were frozen in liquid nitrogen or placed in RNA stabilization reagent (RNA later™, Qiagen) and stored at -20°C before RNA extraction. Approximately 100 mg of plant tissues were crushed in liquid nitrogen with poly-vinyl-poly pyrrolidone. The powder was transferred in a tube containing 1 ml of extraction buffer " TE3D " (14.8 g EDTA, 84.4 g Tris, 20 g Nonidet P-40, 30 g lithium dodecyl sulfate, 20 g sodium deoxycholate, 95 ml H2O) [59 (link)]. After 15 min incubation at room temperature, 1 ml of sodium acetate (3 M) and one volume of chloroformisoamyl alcohol (24:1) were added. Purification of the aqueous phase was carried out following centrifugation by adding one volume of mixed alkyl tri-ethyl ammonium bromine solution (2% MATAB, 3 M NaCl) followed by 15 min at 74°C. The residual polysaccharides were then eliminated by addition of one volume of chloroformisoamyl alcohol (24:1) and centrifugation; the aqueous phase was precipitated by the addition of one volume of isopropyl alcohol. After centrifugation, the pellet was resuspended in 50 μl of ribonuclease free water containing 1 μl of ribonuclease inhibitor (RiboLock™, Fermentas).
RNA samples from cacao tissues were isolated following the procedure of Charbit et al [59 (link)] with modifications. Following DNase treatment (DNase I, Fermentas), RNA was then extracted with the phenolchloroformisoamyl alcohol (25:24:1) step and precipitated with one-tenth volume of 3 M sodium acetate, pH 5.3, and 2.5 volumes of 100% ethyl alcohol. An aliquot of RNA was then run by elecrophoresis on a 1.2% agarose gel and stained with ethidium bromide to confirm RNA integrity.
