All experiments were conducted using an Agilent 7890 gas chromatograph coupled to a 5977 mass spectrometer and collected using Agilent MassHunter software. AML12 cells were seeded on 6-well plates and transfected with either scr or si RNA against Pklr using TransIT-X2 Dynamic Delivery System (Mirus Bio LLC, Madison, WI). The next day medium was removed; cells were washed and replaced with medium containing [U-13C6]-glucose (Sigma-Aldrich) and grown for 24 hours before being analyzed. Samples were derivatized and analyzed as described previously.61 (link)

Metabolic Analysis of Hepatic Energy Homeostasis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ATP and AMP content in liver tissues or hepatocyte cultures were measured using an ATP/ADP/AMP determination kit (A-125; State University of New York, Buffalo) following the manufacturer’s protocol. The amount was normalized to the protein content, which was determined using a protein assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories), and is presented as micromoles per gram protein. NAD+ and NADH levels in samples from liver and hepatocyte cultures were measured using a colorimetric NAD+/NADH assay kit (E2ND-100; BioAssay Systems). cAMP levels in primary hepatocytes were determined by using the Direct cAMP ELISA kit (Enzo Life Sciences) following the manufacturer’s procedures.
For mass isotopomer distribution analysis, primary hepatocytes cultured in glucose-free DMEM supplemented with dialyzed 10% FBS were uniformly labeled with 20 mM [U-13C]-6-glucose (Sigma-Aldrich) for 6 h. The samples were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry to determine the contribution of glucose to tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites. Data are presented as fraction of 13C-labeled species within a given sample. M + 0 corresponds to an unlabeled metabolite (for example, m + 2 represents an ion labeled with two 13Cs). Glucose flux analyses were performed at the Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Center at Case Western University (Cleveland, Ohio), which is a facility sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.

Evaluating Metabolite Leakage During Quenching

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate the necessity of washing with NaCl, [U-13C6]glucose (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, USA) was added into the bacterial culture and mixed, and bacteria were quenched immediately and washed twice with 0.85% NaCl. The pellets were resuspended in the 0.85% NaCl solution, the remaining [U-13C6]glucose was concentrated using C18 cartridges, and the concentration was determined using UHPLC-TOF/MS. To evaluate the leakage of intracellular metabolites after quenching caused by NaCl washing, the NaCl washing solutions from different quenching approaches were collected and concentrated using C18 cartridges, and the metabolites were analyzed by UHPLC-TOF/MS. The positive control group sample was suspended in 0.85% NaCl and heated in a water bath at 80°C for 20 min. Unquenched bacteria were used as a negative control.

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.
