PKM2 knockout mouse embryonic fibroblasts MEFs and their matched wild-type counterparts were obtained from the laboratory of Dr. Matthew Vander Heiden (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA34 (link). Standard cancer cell lines (A375, SK-MEL-28, LNCaP, CAL-51, A549, B16, and HeLa), Aprt−/− Hprt−/− A9 mouse fibroblasts (CCL-1.4) and their parental cell line (CCL-1) were from ATCC.

Human U2OS NMD reporter cells were treated with DMSO or ouabain in methionine-free media (CellGro, 17-204-CI) supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine, 10% dialyzed FBS (Sigma, F0392), and 35S-labeled methionine (10 µCi ml−1) for 24 h prior to protein collection. Protein samples from the same number of cells were run on two separate SDS-PAGE gels, with one for 35S autoradiography analysis (newly synthesized proteins) and one for Coomassie blue staining (total protein levels). Images were quantified using ImageJ and autoradiography intensity was normalized to the total protein level (Coomassie blue intensity).

For quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, SILAC cells were labeled by culturing them in DMEM without Arg/Lys (A14431-01), 200 µM L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin streptomycin, 110 mg/l (1 mM) sodium pyruvate, and 10% 10 kD dialyzed serum (F0392; Sigma-Aldrich). The media for light labeling was supplemented with Arg 0 (84 mg/ml, A6969; Sigma-Aldrich) and Lys 0 (146 mg/ml, L8662; Sigma-Aldrich), and the media for heavy labeling was supplemented with Arg10 (CNLM-539-H; Cambridge Isotope Laboratories) and Lys8 (CNLM-291-H; Cambridge Isotope Laboratories). Incorporation of the isotopes was confirmed after six passages. siControl and siMASTL#6 silenced samples were prepared two times with light- and heavy-labeled cells, obtaining four experimental replicates. For each independent experiment, siControl and siMASTL-silenced samples were mixed using a label-swap replication strategy (i.e., siControl-light mixed with siMASTL silenced-heavy generates forward replicate 1; siMASTL silenced-light with siControl-heavy generates reverse replicate 1, etc.). 48 h after silencing the cells were lysed with 4% SDS, 100 mM DTT, and 100 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.6, and boiled for 5 min at 95°C. Samples were sonicated, centrifuged at 13,000 g for 10 min at 4°C, and transferred into a clean tube.

Folate Metabolism in Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For isotope tracing, metabolomics, and growth experiments, cells were cultured in DMEM formulated in house from their chemical components. Media were supplemented with 10% (v/v) dialyzed FBS (dFBS, F0392; Sigma-Aldrich). Standard DMEM contains folic acid (4 mg/L). For media composed of alternative folate species (5-methyl-THF, leucovorin, or both), total folate species concentration was 4 mg/L unless otherwise indicated. In addition, homocysteine (7.4 μM) and vitamin B12 (1 mg/L) were added to all custom media. For tracer media, the amino acid found in standard DMEM was replaced with an equal concentration of tracer amino acid. For formate rescue experiments, sodium formate (141–53-7, Sigma-Aldrich) was added to a final concentration of 1 mM. Final media pH was adjusted to ~7.4 prior to sterile filtration using a Stericup Sterile Vacuum filter (SCGPU02RE, MilliporeSigma).

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.
