GUVs were mixed with the
buffer (10 mM MES, 150 mM NaCl, pH 6.5, or 20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl,
pH 8.0), fluorescent dextran of 10 kDa in size (Sigma; FD10, final
concentration of 1 mg/mL) and proteins in the following combinations:
50 nM Y406A alone, 5 μM D22M alone or premixed 50 nM Y406A +
5 μM D22M. Mixtures were incubated for 30 min at room temperature
before imaging. Images were recorded on DMI6000 CS inverted microscope
with TCS SP5 laser scanning system (both Leica Microsystems, Germany)
with a 63 × oil-immersion objective (numerical aperture = 1.4).
The rhodamine-containing GUV membrane was excited at 550 nm, and emission
was detected from 570 to 600 nm. FD10 were excited at 488 nm, and
emission was detected from 497 to 527 nm. Percent of permeabilization
was calculated from green channel fluorescent intensities in ImageJ
software, namely fluorescent intensities inside the vesicles were
divided by background intensities outside the vesicles. For each condition
50 to 500 GUVs were analyzed.

Evaluating H. pylori Cell Membrane Damage

FITC-FD was mainly used to evaluate the degree of H. pylori cell membrane damage after treatment with Lla-Met. The process was performed as previously described[20 (link)]. Briefly, G27 bacterial suspension (1 × 108 CFU/mL) at the logarithmic phase was incubated with Lla-Met (16 μg/ML) for 2 h, centrifuged, and the pellet was suspended in sterile PBS. The cell suspension was protected from light with FIFC-labeled glucan FD4, about 4.0 kDa, with a diameter of 1.4 nm (Sigma, United States) and FD10, about 10.1 kDa, with a diameter of 2.3 nm (Sigma, United States), both at a final concentration of 100 μg/mL. After 30 min of incubation at 37 °C, the unbound fluorescent dye was washed off with sterile PBS. The cells were suspended in sterile PBS. Finally, the fluorescence influx of FD4 and FD10 was detected at the excitation and emission wavelengths of 495 nm and 520 nm, respectively, by a multimode reader (BioTek, America).

Dehydrated Aloe vera gel powder 200X (Dalton Max 700® gel) and whole leaf, decolourised, spray-dried Aloe vera powder 100X (whole-leaf extract) were kindly donated by Improve USA. Inc. (De Soto, TX, USA). Chitosan (ChitoClear® with a degree of deacetylation of 96% and viscosity of 8 cP for a 1% solution) was purchased from Primex (Siglufjordur, Iceland). Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran with molecular weight (MW) of 4 kDa (FD-4), 10 kDa (FD-10), 20 kDa (FD-20), and 40 kDa (FD-40), as well as Lucifer Yellow, were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich/Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). CytoPainter® Phalloidin iFluor 488 and Fluoroshield® mounting medium, with propidium iodide, were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA).

Intestinal Permeability Assay Using FITC-Dextran

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The permeability of the terminal ileum was tested in a manner similar to previously described techniques(11 (link), 15 (link), 16 (link)). After the animals were sacrificed as described above, 1 to 1.5 cm sections of ileum were removed from the mesentery and filled with 10 mg/mL of 10kD fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran (FD-10, Sigma-Aldrich) mixed in phosphate buffered saline (Invitrogen). An adjacent loop of intestine was filled with FD-10 in PBS supplemented with 50 μg/mL LPS. The ends of the loops were secured with 5-0 silk suture and the loops were placed in 35 mm tissue culture treated dishes (Cell Treat, Shirley, MA) and filled with 2 mL of RPMI 1640 medium (Invitrogen) with 10% vol/vol heat inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS). Loops were incubated for 1 hour in a cell culture incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2. Afterwards, 200 uL of the bathing solution was removed for measurement of translocation of FD-10. Fluorescence and concentration of FD-10 in the bathing solution was determined by a standard curve of known amounts of FD-10, normalized to intestinal length in millimeters.

In addition, low molecular weight acids, fluorescein sodium salt (FL-Na) and sodium 4-ethylbenzenesulfonate (ES) were purchased from FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation (Osaka, Japan) and Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan), respectively. Low molecular weight non-electrolyte, isosorbide 5-mononitrate (ISMN) was purchased from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. Table 1 summarizes these structural formulas and molecular weights.
Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC, grade H) used as a formulation base was purchased from Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). Other solvents and reagents were of special or HPLC grade without purification.
The ear skin from edible pigs was used in the experiment. The porcine ears were purchased from the Central Research Institute for Agricultural Feed and Livestock (Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan) and stored frozen at -30 °C until use.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
