Genomic DNA was extracted from the whole peripheral blood cells of the participants.7 (link) We performed targeted exon sequencing of ABCG2 with a pool and capture method described in a previous study.8 (link) Briefly, the extracted DNA was quantified using the Qubit dsDNA BR Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) on FilterMax F5 Multi-Mode Microplate Readers (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, California, USA). Twenty nanogram of DNA was simultaneously fragmented and ligated with adapters using the SureSelect QXT Library Prep Kit (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, California, USA). The 96 fragmented libraries with distinct indexed adapters were pooled in equimolar amounts. Target enrichment was then performed using the SeqCap EZ choice system (Roche Diagnostics, Tokyo, Japan). A DNA probe set complementary to the target region was designed using NimbleDesign (https://design.nimblegen.com). The libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform in rapid run mode with 2×150 bp paired-end modules (Illumina).

The advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) were determined in heart tissue by spectrophotometry. The heart tissue was homogenized and diluted (1:5) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; pH 7.4). Next, 200 μL of the sample was added to a 96-well plate together with 10 μL of potassium iodide (1.16 M) and 20 μL of glacial acetic acid. The reading was taken immediately at 340 nm with an ELISA reader (Filter Max F5 Multi-Mode Microplate Readers, Molecular Devices, Silicon Valley, CA, United States). The blank was prepared by replacing the sample with PBS. The AOPP concentrations are expressed as μM of chloramine-T/mg of protein (Valente et al., 2013 (link)).

Ammonia and nitrite concentrations were measured colourimetrically according to previously published protocols using Nessler’s reagent (Meseguer-Lloret et al., 2002 ) and Griess reagent (Miranda et al., 2001 (link)), respectively. Absorbance values were measured at 550 nm (nitrite) and 450 nm (ammonia) using a Filtermax F5 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). All technical measurements were performed in duplicate. Substrate concentrations were determined by comparison to standards using SoftMax Pro 6.4 (Molecular Devices). Note that for reported ammonia concentrations, values refer to total ammonia (NH4+ + NH3), unless otherwise indicated.

Purified hPMNs were re-suspended in mHBSS. Calcein AM dye re-suspended in DMSO (Sigma-Aldrich D2650) was added to the neutrophils at a final concentration of 3 μM, and cells were incubated in the dark for 20 minutes to fluorescently label the neutrophils. Labeled hPMNs were pelleted by spinning at 1500 RPM at 25°C for 5 minutes without accelerator and brake. The supernatant was removed and neutrophils were re-suspended in mHBSS. hPMNs were again pelleted without the accelerator and brake. After this, the supernatant was removed and cells were re-suspended at 106 hPMNs/ml. 200 μl of the appropriate chemotactic stimulus was added to the flat-bottom, black-walled, 96-well plates (Corning 3583) in triplicate. Fluorescently labeled neutrophils were then loaded into a 96-well transwell plate with 3.0 μM pore size (Corning 3385); 105 hPMNs were loaded per well. The transwell plate was placed in the black-bottom plate and incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 45 minutes to allow migration. After migration, 50 μl of 0.5 M EDTA was placed in each of the lower wells and 10 μl of 0.5 M EDTA was placed in the upper wells. The plates were incubated at 4°C for 15 minutes after which the transwells were removed and the amount of fluorescence in the lower wells was quantified using a Molecular Devices Filter Max F5 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader.

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.
