Experimental media. All Ce solutions were prepared from a 1000 mg L -1 stock solution of Ce(NO3)3 in 7% HNO3 (Inorganic Ventures). Stock solutions with lower concentrations were kept in 2% ultrapure nitric acid (BDH) in Milli-Q water (R>18 M cm; dissolved organic carbon<2 g C L -1 ). Biouptake and speciation measurements were performed in pH controlled media composed of 0.01 M NaNO3 (Sigma) for pH 4.0, 0.01 M NaMES (2-(Nmorpholino)ethanesulfonic sodium salt, Acros Organics) for pH 5 and 6 and 0.01 M NaHEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic sodium salt, Fisher bioreagents) for pH 7 and 8. All media contained 1x10 -5 M of Ca(NO3)2 (Sigma Aldrich) in order to help preserve the integrity of the biological cell wall [22] . Following their preparation, solutions were placed on a rotary shaker (100 rpm) for 24h. For experiments involving natural organic matter, a Suwannee River fulvic acid standard (SRFA, 2S101F) was used. Stock solutions of 250 mg L -1 of SRFA were prepared by dissolving the lyophilized solid in the experimental media described above at pH 5.0, 6.0 or 7.0. Following a 24 hour equilibration, stock solutions were then diluted into buffered experimental media for use after another 24 h. All polymerware was soaked a minimum of 24 hours in 2% HNO3 then rinsed 7x with MilliQ grade water, before drying under laminar flow conditions.

M. bovis BCG and M. tuberculosis H37Rv strains were grown in Middlebrook 7H9 broth medium (Difco, Becton-Dickinson) containing 10% OADC (oleic acid/albumin/dextrose/catalase, 0.05% Tween 80) until exponential phase and then aliquoted and stored at −70 °C until use. Prior to use, the bacterial stocks were thawed and the mycobacteria were de-clumped by a brief sonication and passed through a syringe fitted with a 27-gauge needle at least 10 times. The macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 (ATCC, Manassas, VA) was maintained in Dulbecco modified Eagle’s minimal essential medium (DMEM, Cellgro, Manassas, VA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Hyclone, South Logan, Utah), 25 mM Na-HEPES (ThermoScientific, Rockford, IL), 1 mM Sodium pyruvate (Lonza, Walkersville, MD), 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 U/mL streptomycin (Hyclone, South Logan, Utah) at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) were prepared from wild type C57BL/6 or Rab27a deficiency mice as described previously29 (link).

Krebs Buffer Vasodilation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Krebs buffer contained (in mM) 146.9 NaCl, 4.7 KCl, 2 CaCl2·2H2O, 1.2 MgSO4, 1.2 NaH2PO4·H2O, 3 NaHCO3, 1.5 NaHEPES, and 5 D-glucose (pH = 7.4). Krebs-BSA buffer was prepared with the addition of 0.5 % bovine serum albumin. During cannulation, Krebs-BSA buffer was present both luminally and abluminally, but during the experiment, the bath solution was constantly exchanged with Krebs solution without albumin. All chemicals and drugs were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO), with exception of BSA (United States Biochemicals; Cleveland, OH), MgSO4, Na-HEPES (ThermoFisher Scientific; Pittsburgh, PA), iberiotoxin, ODQ, NS11021 (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) and apamin (Alomone Labs, Jerusalem, Israel). Sodium NONOate, acetylcholine, Rp-8-Br-PET-cGMPS, iberiotoxin and apamin were dissolved in distilled water. Glibenclamide, ODQ and NS11021 were dissolved in DMSO and the total amount of DMSO was set below 0.4 %, which was determined in separate protocols to be the threshold vasoactive dose of DMSO. Penitrem A was dissolved in methanol, which by itself had no effect on contraction at the concentrations used.

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.
