Brain Tissue Proteome Extraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Brain tissues were freeze-crushed using a multi-beads shocker (Yasui Kikai, Osaka, Japan), and proteins were extracted with a lysis buffer consisting of 4% SDS, 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.5), 10 mM tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine, 40 mM 2-chloroacetamide, and HALT protease/phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The proteins were precipitated by adding 4 volumes of cold acetone, reconstituted with 10% 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) in 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate, and digested overnight with LysC (100:1, w/w; FUJIFILM Wako, Osaka, Japan) and trypsin (100:1, w/w; Promega, Madison, WI). The resulting peptides were desalted using InertSep RP-C18 columns (GL Sciences, Tokyo, Japan).

The test implants (Lynx, Equinox, Netherlands) of size 2 mm diameter X 5 mm length were coated with osteogenic nanofibres composed of composite blend of polycaprolactone 5.0% (w/v) (Sigma Aldrich, USA), gelatin type A 0.5% (w/v) (Sigma Aldrich, USA), dexamethasone 0.032% (w/v) (HiMedia, India), β-glycerophosphate 0.5% (w/v) (HiMedia, India), ascorbic acid 0.04% (w/v) (HiMedia, India) and hydroxyapatite 0.04% (w/v) (Budenheim, Germany) in 2,2,2-Trifluoroethanol (Sigma Aldrich, USA). Uncoated titanium screw type implants were used as controls. The fabrication of osteogenic nanofibrous coating on the surface of the implants by electrospinning technique was performed by placing the titanium screw (attached to the rotating shaft of DC motor) in between the syringe tip and collector plate (Fig. 2). The modification of electrospinning apparatus for fabricating nanofibrous coating and its subsequent physico-chemical characterization has been described in detail in our previous study24 (link).

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.
