Serum Biomarker Profiling in Bariatric Surgery

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples at baseline and 8 years after BS were collected after 12 h fasting. Serum was aliquoted and immediately stored at −80 °C. Serum glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL were analysed using an Advia Chemistry XPT autoanalyzer (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Malvern, PA, USA). The LDL was calculated using the Friedewald equation. Serum insulin levels were measured via immunoassay using an ADVIA Centaur autoanalyzer (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Malvern, PA, USA). Serum proteins, such as adhesion molecules (L-selectin, PECAM, ICAM-1, VCAM-1), metalloproteinases (MMP3, MMP9), growth factors (VEGF-A VEGF-D), adipokines (adiponectin, leptin), macrophage-related proteins (CD14, CD44, MBL, LVYE1) and other proteins (lactoferrin, elafin, NGAL, NRP1, PAI-1, RANTES) were analysed using ProcartaPlex immunoassay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Rockford, IL, USA) at baseline and 8 years after BS.

PBMC Isolation, B Cell Purification, and Immunoassay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For PBMCs and CD19+ B cells: PBMCs were isolated from 110 ml of whole blood by centrifugation over Ficoll. CD19+ B cells were isolated by positive selection using magnetic beads as previously described36 (link). Total RNA was extracted from each sample using an RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) with quality assessed using an Agilent BioAnalyser 2100 and RNA quantification performed using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer.
For flow-sorted B cell samples from Espéli et al.37 (link): Flow sorting was performed using CD19-BV785, CD38-BV711, CD3-NC650, CD14-605NC, CD24-PerCP-Cy5.5, IgD-FITC. CD27-PE-Cy7 and Aqua (Invitrogen) (flow protocol outlined in Extended Data Figure 1), into sorting buffer (10mM Tris pH 8.0 and RiboLock RNase Inhibitor (1U/μL)) and frozen immediately.
Total IgA and IgE levels in patient serum were measured using a ProcartaPlex immunoassay kit (ThermoFisher) using 25ul of serum from each individual and run on a Luminex xMAP analyser. Raw data (MFI) were normalised to a concurrently measured 7 point standard curve according to the manufacturer’s instructions to return an absolute quantification (pg/ml). All measured values were encompassed by the standard distribution.

Cytokine Profiling of Stimulated Blood

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples were taken to assess cytokine levels on day 0, week 2, week 6, and within 2 weeks of any progression. The 1 mL of whole blood was collected and stimulated with immune ligands (anti-CD3 as T-cells stimulant, and R848 as TLR 7/8 agonist to stimulate Natural Killer cells and foster T-cells’ response) on single lyophilized spheres (LyoSphere, Qiagen) within 8 hours from blood collection. Stimulated blood samples were incubated for 16 to 24 hours at 37°C and then centrifuged at 2000 to 3000 × g for 15 min to harvest the stimulated serum. Stimulated serum was stored at −20°C until the analysis and freeze-thaw cycles were minimized to preserve the quality of the samples. Serum levels of cytokines were measured either using the ProcartaPlex Immunoassay Kit (Luminex, ThermoFisher) or with custom-designed cartridges Ella (ProteinSimple). We measured 11 cytokines (IL-17A, IL-6, IL-1β, IFN-, IL-12p70, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-10, IL-5, IL-4, IL-13 and GM-CSF) following the manufacturers’ instructions.22 (link)

Protein supernatant extracted from 2D enteroids using RIPA buffer as well as basolateral media from enteroids cultured in 2D were analyzed for goblet cell marker Trefoil Factor 3 (TFF3) using a commercially available ELISA kit, per manufacturer’s instructions (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). Additional proteins including Interleukin-4 (IL-4), Interleukin-8 (IL-8), Interleukin-18 (IL-18), soluble RANK ligand (sRANKL), ghrelin and Peptide YY (PYY) were analyzed using a custom ProcartaPlex Immunoassay Kit using antibody-based magnetic beads (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham MA). Samples were read and analyzed on a Luminex MAGPIX multiplexing system (Luminex, Northbrook, IL). Samples were normalized using protein expression as measured by a commercially available Bicinchoninic acid assay (BCA; ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham MA).

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.
