The LAD was then reoccluded and 4% Evans blue was injected to determine the “area at risk” (AAR) as previously described [19 (link), 20 (link)]. The heart was excised under deep anesthesia, the LV was sliced at thickness of 2 mm and these slices were incubated in a 1% solution of 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride dye for 15 min at 37°C and then fixed in 10% formalin for 20 min. AAR and infarct size were measured in a blinded manner using a planimetry method and Image J software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). AAR was expressed as a percentage of left ventricle area, and infarct size was expressed as a percentage of AAR.
Plasma concentrations of cardiac troponin I were measured using a commercially available ELISA kit (LSI Medience, Tokyo, Japan). Concentrations were measured spectrophotometrically using a standard 96-well plate reader at a wavelength of 450 nm (Sunrise™ reader; Tecan Group, Männedorf, Switzerland).

Quantifying Superoxide Dismutase Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MnSOD activity was detected using Superoxide Dismutase Assay kit (Cayman Chemical) following the manufacturer’s protocol. The method uses tetrazolium salt to quantify superoxide radicals generated by xanthine oxidase and hypoxanthine. The standard curve was generated by using a quality-controlled SOD standard. The absorbance was monitored at 440–460 nm using a TECAN Sunrise Reader (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland). One unit of SOD is defined as the amount of enzyme needed to exhibit 50% dismutation of the superoxide radical. Enzymatic activity was presented as units/mL per milligram of total protein. The results were defined after triplicate analysis.

Commercial radioimmunoassay kits (catalog number ab179884)were used to measure plasma leptin levels, with a standard curve range of 0–50 ng/mL. A visfatin enzyme immunoassay kit (catalogue number ab264623) was used to measure visfatin, with a standard curve range of 0.1–1000 ng/mL. Serum levels of TNF‐⍺ and IL‐6 were assessed using the ELISA kit (Jiangsu Meimian Industrial Co., Ltd, Jiangsu, China).

The viability of two cancer cell lines was assessed by the MTT assay. The Caco-2 and HCT-116 were seeded in 96-well plates in 200 μL of complete RPMI-1640 medium at a density of 5.0 × 103 and 3.0 × 103 cells per well, respectively, and incubated for 24 h. After exposure for 72 h with increasing doses of E171 and TiO2 60 nm (0.001; 0.01; 0.1; 1; 10; 100; 1000 mg/L), cells were incubated at 37 °C in 5% CO2. After removing the medium, 100 μL of MTT working solution (5 mg/mL in RPMI) was added to each well for 4 h at 37 °C in a humidified incubator. Then 100 μL of the solution of 2-propanol and hydrochloric acid (50 mL + 167 μL) was supplied to each well to solubilize formazan blue crystals. A cell-free system was used to exclude NPs interference with the test reagents, in which only the NPs were incubated with the test reagents, and their absorption was monitored.
The absorbance was measured at 590 nm with the ELISA Tecan Sunrise Reader according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cell viability was calculated as follows:

PO activity was measured according to previously published studies [61 (link),62 ]. Haemolymph of G. mellonella (5 μl) was collected directly to 95 μl of PHL (475 μg in PBS for all experiments except dose-dependence assay where different dilutions of PHL were used), PLL (475 μg in PBS), BSA (475 μg in PBS) or PBS (pH 7.4) and incubated for 10 min at room temperature. After incubation, 40 μl of reaction mixture was transported to the microplate well and 160 μl of 3,4-dihydroxy-dl-phenylalanine (3 mg/ml in PBS) was added as substrate. The reaction was allowed to proceed for 30 min, and absorbance was measured in 2-min intervals at 492 nm with a Sunrise reader (Tecan, Switzerland). PO activity was expressed as linear increase in absorbance per minute. For the inhibition assay, PHL was pre-incubated with 0.2M l-Fuc or Me-α-l-Fuc for 10 min at room temperature prior to mixing with haemolymph.

First, inhibition plates were prepared by blocking with 3% non-fat milk/PBS overnight at room temperature. After washing with PBST, three 2-fold dilutions of whole-body and fecal extracts (100 µL/well) and eight 2-fold dilutions of recombinant Per a 2 proteins were made in duplicate wells. Rabbit anti-rPer a 2 antibodies were added to each sample well (100 µL/well). The plates were incubated for 2 hours at 37℃.
On the other hand, 96-well assay plates were prepared by coating with 0.1 µg/well of rPer a 2 in a carbonate buffer for 2 hours at 37℃. Then, the non-reacted sites were blocked for 1 hour with 3% non-fat milk/PBS. After 2-hour incubation of the inhibition plates to allow antibody reaction with the tested extracts, the preabsorbed Per a 2 antibodies were transferred to 96-well assay plates and incubated for 2 hours at room temperature. After washing, a 1:5,000 dilution of peroxidase-labeled goat anti-rabbit IgG was added and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature, and a colored reaction was developed by the addition of ABTS (55 µg/mL in 0.1 M sodium citrate buffer, pH 4.2, containing 0.03% H2O2). The results were read at 415 nm on a Sunrise Reader (TECAN). The concentration of Per a 2 in the tested extracts were determined by comparing the reference standards and expressed in mg/g of extractable protein.

To determine intratumoral cytokines and chemokines, tumors were harvested 16 h after the start of treatment, snap frozen in LN2, and stored for future use at −80°C. Tumor lysates were prepared using lysis buffer (Biorad) including factor 1, factor 2, and PMSF using Peqlab Cryolys tissue homogenizer in Precellys ceramic kit tubes with 1.4-mm beads. Protein levels were adjusted after quantification using a bicinchoninic acid protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher) to 10 mg/ml. Cytokines and chemokines were determined using a multiplex BioPlex Pro kit (mouse chemokine panel 33-plex and cytokine 23-plex; Biorad) or by ELISA for mouse IL-27 (Invitrogen). Readout was performed using BioPlex 200 (Biorad) or Synergy 2 (BioTek) instruments, respectively.
PK analysis of the αCSF-1R antibody clone 2G2 was performed by an in-house–made ELISA. In brief, biotinylated murine CSF-1R (Sino Biologicals) was coated onto streptavidin-coated plates (Roche) and incubated with mouse sera or purified 2G2 clone for standardization. Bound 2G2 antibody was detected by a peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mIgG, specific for Fcγ subclass 1 (Jackson), and ABTS (Roche) using a Sunrise reader (Tecan).

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.
