Approximately 20 mg of muscle tissue was transferred to a 1.5 mL tube (Axygen, Silicon Valley, CA, USA) with 300 μL of lysis reagent (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and then homogenized three times at 65 Hz for 30 s each. Then, 300 μL of RNA dilution liquid was added to the homogenate and incubated for 5 min until centrifugation at room temperature at 13,000 rpm, and total RNA was extracted, in accordance with the protocol of the manufacturer (Promega). The RNA concentration was detected by a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (Thermo, Waltham, MA, USA), and the quality was assessed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Total RNA was qualified and used for the next manipulation (Figure S1). cDNA was synthesized using the PrimeScript RT Reagent Kit with gDNA Eraser (Takara, Shiga, Japan) in a 10 μL volume, in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer.

Malaria Vector Surveillance in Korea

Female adult Anophelessinensis mosquitoes were collected in 2020 (June 22 to 26) from 12 rural regions in ROK with the assistance of the regional center for vector surveillance against climate change supported by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention54 . The collection sites were categorized as hyperendemic area if the number of malaria cases per 100,000 persons exceeds 1 patient. Otherwise, it was categorized as hypoendemic area (Fig. 1). The study regions were determined using statistics of malaria patient. The analysis could have improperly accounted for habitat or ecology since each region was not ecologically analyzed. Mosquitoes were sorted into genus using the morphological keys55 (link), and species identifications were confirmed using a diagnostic PCR assay based on DNA barcode analysis56 (link). Mosquito body parts such as legs and wings were transferred to a 1.5ml tube (Axygen, USA), after which DNA extraction was carried from mosquito parts using G-spin™ Total DNA Extraction kit (iNtRON’s, Korea) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. PCR cycle parameters involved an initial denaturation at 95 °C for 3 min, 35 cycles of 30 s at 95 °C, 30 s at 63 °C, and 2 min at 72 °C. A final extension at 72 °C for 10 min was completed. PCR products were subjected to electrophoresis on a 1.5% agarose gel and visualized under ultraviolet light.

RNA Extraction and Real-Time PCR Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
293T-CJ cells were harvested at 18 h after transfection. Total RNA was extracted as follows. Approximately 1 million cells were collected in a sterile 1.5 mL tube (Axygen) for each extraction, and then they were pelleted by centrifugation (300 g, 5 min, 4°C). The cell pellet was immediately resuspended in 500 μL of TRIzol reagent (GIBCO-BRL, Gaithersburg, MD) for 5 min at room temperature. Briefly, 200 μL chloroform was added to the sample and vortexed for 30 s. Polysaccharides, membranes, and unlysed cells were eliminated by centrifugation (13,000 g, 10 min, 4°C). The supernatant (approximately 250 μL) was mixed with an equal volume of isopropanol, incubated at −20°C for 1 h, and centrifuged (13,000 g, 10 min, 4°C). Then, the pellet of total RNA was washed with 1 mLof 70% ethanol twice and dried for 30 min at room temperature. The RNA pellet was resuspended in 20 μL of RNA-free sterile water and stored at −80°C for further analysis. The RNA was subjected to cDNA synthesis with a FastQuant RT Kit (Tiangen Biotech). Real-time PCR was performed using a LightCycler 96 PCR system (BioRad) to compare the expression levels of different samples. The expression level of GAPDH was used as a control of input cDNA. In addition, the q-PCR primers are listed in Key Resources Table.

Quantifying Cellular Lycopene via Acetone Extraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One hundred microliters of cell culture was collected in a 2 mL safe-lock tube (Eppendorf [EPPE0030120.094]), and pelleted down by centrifugation at 20,000 g for 5 min. The supernatant was removed. Five hundred microliters of acetone (Sigma-Aldrich) was added subsequently and the mixture was heated at 60 °C for 10-15 min. Cells were then pelleted down by centrifugation at 20,000 g for 5 min. Cell pellet was visually checked to ensure that it was cream white and free of lycopene. Otherwise, additional acetone was added to extract lycopene completely. One hundred microliters of solution was transferred to a 1.5 mL tube (Axygen) with three hundred microliters of ethanol inside (Sigma-Aldrich). Two hundred microliters of mixture was transferred to a 96-well microplate (Eppendorf) for quantification.
Absorbance of extracted lycopene was measured at 474 nm by using a microplate reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Concentration of lycopene was calculated by using a lycopene standard curve obtained from lycopene dissolved in the acetone-ethanol solution.

Quantification of Metabolites in Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two hundred microliters of cell culture was collected in a 1.5 mL tube (Axygen) and centrifuged at 20,000 g for 10 min. Nylon filter (Chemikalie, 0.22 μm, 13 mm) was used to filter the supernatant. Glucose, acetate, lactate and ethanol in the supernatant were quantified by using HPLC (1260 Infinity series, Agilent), equipped with an Aminex HPX-87H column (300 mm × 7.8 mm, Bio-Rad) and RID. The injection volume was 5 µL. The column temperature was 50 °C. Aqueous sulphuric acid solution (5 mM) was used as the mobile phase and the flow rate was 0.7 mL/min in isocratic mode.

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.
