For the mineralization solution ZrOCl2·8H2O (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany, 98% purity) was used ( 20mM , 30mM and 50mM ). As solvent a mixture of ddH2O ( 18.1MΩcm ) and ethanol (Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany, ≥99.8%, p.a., purity) with 80 vol.% ethanol was chosen. For zetapotential measurements of mineralized particles in 10mM sodium chloride (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) the pH value was adjusted using hydrochloric acid (Roth, fuming 37% ) and sodium hydroxide (Merck).

After MALDI MSI, the 9-AA matrix was removed from the tissue section surface using 70% ethanol (Carl Roth) for 4 minutes, followed by H&E staining of the very same tissue sections. The H&E-stained tissue sections were cover-slipped and scanned with an AxioScan.Z1 digital slide scanner (Carl Zeiss) equipped with a 20× magnification objective. The visualization and export of the images to TIFF was done with the software ZEN 2.3 blue edition (Carl Zeiss).

To quantify the amount of extracellular calcium deposition, the cells were subjected to Alizarin Red S staining as published previously [26 (link),27 (link)]. In short, cells were fixed in 70% ethanol (Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany), incubated over night at 4 °C, washed with Aqua dest. and then stained with 0.5% Alizarin Red S solution (Waldeck, Münster, Germany) for 10 min. After washing with PBS, a 10% hexadecylpyridinium chloride solution (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) was added to each sample and incubated on an oscillator (IKA-Werke, Staufen, Germany) for 30 min at 350 rpm to dissolve the stained calcium depositions. After complete dissolution each sample was measured spectrometrically at 570 nm as technical duplicates and normalized to a standard curve.

The KingFisher™ (KF) Duo system was applied with a 12 pin magnet head which enabled processing of 12 samples per run using microtiter 96 deepwell plates (Thermo Fisher). Prior to the extraction process, the deepwell plates were filled with the following reagents: lysis buffer VXL, MagAttract Suspension B, buffer AW1, buffer AW2 (Qiagen), 100% Ethanol (Carl Roth GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany), nuclease-free water and buffer AVE (Qiagen) [see Additional file 1: Table S1]. For extraction, 100 μl of the sample were added to the lysis buffer and mixed by pipetting. After that, binding buffer ACB was added and automated extraction was executed and completed within 8 min using the protocol indicated in Table 1. The extracted RNA was eluted in 100 μl and subsequently transferred to 1.5 ml tubes for storage.

Metabolite Extraction from Aortic Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following surgical extraction, cleaning, and rinsing of ascending thoracic aortic tissue samples, samples were immediately snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C until further use. For metabolite extraction, per sample 40 mg of aortic tissue were placed in sterile polystyrene tube on dry ice, followed by adding 6 μl ice cold 100% ethanol (ultrapure; Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) per mg of tissue. Consequently, a 5 mm diameter hardened steel ball (Retsch, Haan, Germany) was added into the tubes, and tubes were placed in a Mixer Mill MM400 (Retsch, Haan, Germany), followed by breaking up of tissue pieces by applying a vibrational frequency of 30 Hz for 3 minutes. In the next step samples were sonicated (15 intervals, cycles: 10%, power: MS72/D; Sonopuls HD 200, Bandelin, Berlin, Germany) and by a centrifugation step (10 min/20,800 x g/4°C) all solid components were separated. Supernatants were collected and stored on dry ice until metabolite analyses.

Ethanolic Extraction of Plant Compounds

Ethanolic extracts were prepared from the roots and rhizomes of the plant. Sliced dried plant material was ground and about 50 g was used for the extraction. The lipophilic compounds were removed by pre-extraction with hexane (Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany). Ethanolic extraction with 96% ethanol (Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) took place in an ultrasonic bath (Elma, Singen, Germany) for 10 min at room temperature, followed by centrifugation at 4000 RPM for 10 min. Ethanolic extraction was repeated three times, the supernatants were collected, and the solvent was evaporated using a rotary evaporator (Heidolph, Schwabach, Germany), followed by freeze drying using a VirTis Sentury freeze dryer (SP Scientific, Buena, CA, USA) resulting in 28.52% (“Mattmark”) and 32.47% (“Rosavine”) extraction yields. The ethanolic extracts, designated as M/R 96% EtOH, were stored in dark glass flasks in a fridge at 4 °C.

Quantification of Sal-complex in BGs

In order to determine the amount of Sal-complex within the BGs, 4 mg loaded BGs were resuspended in 0.5 mL of 96% ethanol (Carl Roth, Vienna, Austria), followed by 5 min of ultrasonication. Subsequently, the ethanolic extract was diluted equally with Milli-Q® H2O (1:1) and immediately centrifuged at 11,300× g for 15 min at 4 °C. FPLC analysis was performed using an AKTÄ Purifier 10 System® (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA) equipped with a Superdex 10/300 GL column (24 mL; Cytiva, Germany), and UV and conductivity detectors. MeOH-acetate (65:35) was used as an eluent. The quantification was carried out using the peak area method applying free Sal-Mn(II) complex as an external standard.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Silica NP: The Stöber synthesis was applied [31] , which is performed as a one-pot reaction at room temperature and under alkaline conditions in ethanol:water mixtures. The method avoids potentially toxic organic solvents and surfactants. In brief, 60 mL of distilled water, 30 mL of ethanol (#9065; Roth, Karlsruhe; Germany) and 10 mL of ammonium hydroxide solution (25%; #6774; Roth) were mixed and kept at 50 °C in a closed beaker. After addition of 4 mL of TEOS (tetraethyl orthosilicate; #86578 Sigma), also at 50 °C, and stirring for 4 h (50 °C) colloidal silica NP are formed. The NPs were collected by centrifugation (5,000 xg; 10 min), the supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was washed 3-times with ethanol–water (50/50 [v/v]). Finally, the silica NP were dried for 34 h at 24 h; “silica-NP”. Silica/polyPNP: The silica-polyP NP were similarly prepared. The water/ammonia solution (60 mL) was supplemented with 0.1 g of polyP3 or polyP40. Then ethanol (30 mL) was added. Finally, the reaction mixture was supplemented with 4 mL of TEOS then processed at 50 °C as above; silica/polyP-NP either as “silica/polyP3-NP” or “silica/polyP40-NP”, respectively.

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.
