For chromatographic analysis, the samples (SGNc and SGC) were filtered through a 0.22-µm membrane, precipitated in ice pure methanol and centrifuged at 11 000g for 15 minutes, with 80 µL of the supernatant being analyzed. The secretome was analyzed in the High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) system from Agilent (model infinity II 1260) coupled to a Diode array Detector (DAD). In order to elute the samples, a run took place in a reversed phase (300SB-C18) (150 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 µm). The analysis was performed by gradients (methanol/acetonitrile acidified with 0.1% of formic acid) with its gradient increased linearly from 0% to 50% of acetonitrile in 8 minutes, going to 80% at 10 minutes and to 100% at 11 minutes, remaining in this condition for 12 minutes with a flow of 400 µL/minutes. The detection of the eluates by the photodiode was made between 280 and 360 nm. The samples were compared with chromatographic standard quinolinic acid, kynurenic acid, 3-hydroxykynurenine and tryptophan (Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), all diluted in water at a concentration of 500 µM.

Isolated ommochromes from squid were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a Knauer chromatograph (Berlin, Germany) on a Diasphere 120 C18 column (4 × 250 mm; particle size, 5 μm). Solvent A was 10% aqueous acetonitrile containing 0.5% formic acid; solvent B was 100% acetonitrile containing 0.5% formic acid. The pigments were fractionated in a linear gradient (0–40%) of solution B in solution A for 60 min at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min at 24 °C. Eluted pigments were registered with a Knauer K-2501 UV/Vis detector and an RF-10A-xl fluorescence detector (Shimadzu, Japan).
The ommochromes or standard compounds were dissolved in 100 μL of methanol containing 0.5% HCl. Tryptophan, kynurenine, 3-hydroxykynurenine, and xanthurenic acid (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) were used as standards. Xanthommatin was synthesized by autooxidation of 3-hydroxykynurenine. Absorption spectra were recorded with a Shimadzu UV–1601PC spectrophotometer. Fluorescence spectra were recorded with a Shimadzu RF-5301PC fluorimeter. The obtained data were processed with the RFPC version 2.0 software (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan).

Quantitative Analysis of Kynurenine Pathway Metabolites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tryptophan, kynurenine, kynurenic acid, anthranilic acid, 3-hydroxykynurenine, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, xanthurenic acid, picolinic acid, and quinolinic acid were obtained from Sigma Aldrich (Poole, United Kingdom). The stable isotope–labeled internal standards were 2H5-Tryptophan (QMx Laboratories, Thaxted, United Kingdom), 2H6-kynurenine sulfate and 2H5-kynurenic acid (CK isotopes, Ibstock, United Kingdom), and 2H3-picolinic acid and 13C3,15N-quinolinic acid (LGC standards, Teddington, United Kingdom). Acetonitrile and methanol were obtained from Rathburn Chemicals (Walkerburn, United Kingdom) and Fisher Scientific UK (Loughborough, United Kingdom), respectively.
Standards of each analyte were used to automatically tune in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Transition optimizations were performed manually. xanthurenic acid was significantly more sensitive in negative ion mode, but, with the chromatographic conditions used, there was massive matrix ion suppression. Consequently, xanthurenic acid was measured in positive ion mode.
Because analyte retention times on Chirobiotic-T columns tend to be matrix dependent, there is a critical requirement for the appropriate stable isotope internal standards. Consequently, when stable isotopes were unavailable, 2 separate transitions, when possible, were used to calculate and then confirm the result.

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.
