Leptospirillum Oxidative Stress Response

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two liter of Leptospirillum CF-1 culture was grown until late exponential phase. Cells were harvested by centrifugation at 9,000 × g for 20 min at 15°C. Then cells were resuspended in 25 mL of fresh medium and shaken for 30 min at 37°C. The cells were collected by centrifugation and washed with 10 mM H2SO4 and resuspended in 25 mL of fresh medium supplemented independently with either 260 mM Fe2(SO4)3 (Sigma–Aldrich), 1 mM H2O2 (Merck), 6 mM K2CrO4 (Merck), or 4 mM diamide [1,1′-azobis(N,N-dimethylformamide; Sigma–Aldrich)] as oxidative agent for 1 h at 37°C. Samples treated with cobalamin were pre-incubated with 5 nM of cyanocobalamin (Sigma–Aldrich) for 1 h at 37°C in darkness. cyanocobalamin is by definition vitamin B12, and represents the form mainly manufactured by industry (Martens et al., 2002 (link)).

Zebrafish Iron-Induced Retinal Damage

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Zebrafish were intravitreally injected with 0.5 μl of either FeSO4 (Sigma-Aldrich; St. Louis, MO) or Fe2(SO4)3 (Sigma-Aldrich; St. Louis, MO) at 0.5 mM in water using a 2.5 μl syringe with a 33-gauge rounded needle (Hamilton; Reno, NV). Treated fish were then placed in a dark incubator maintained at 32°C until the time of sample collection or 96 hours post injection (hpi), when they were placed back in standard light-dark conditions until the time of sample collection. Both 0.1 mM and 0.25 mM injections were also tested, however 0.5 mM was chosen for this study due to greater consistency and extent of damage as previously described (Shu et al., 2020 (link)). Fish requiring EdU injections were intraperitoneally injected with 50 μl of 1 mg/ml EdU (Life Technologies; Carlsbad, CA) using a 30-gauge needle every 12 hours beginning at 24 hours post iron injection (hpii) until a final injection at 96 hpii before being placed in recovery.

Culturing Candida albicans in LoFlo medium

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C. albicans strains were grown in LoFloglu medium. This medium contains 0.079% complete supplement mixture (CSM; MP Biomedicals), 0.19% yeast nitrogen base without amino acids and lacking folic acid and riboflavin (Formedium), 0.5% ammonium sulfate (Fluka), and 2% glucose. The pH was adapted to 5.5 in liquid medium. For some experiments, the growth medium of the wild-type strain SC5314 was supplemented with different concentrations of FeCl3 (Sigma), Fe2(SO4)3 (Sigma), BPS (Sigma), ferrozine (Sigma), or dibutyryl-cAMP (Sigma).

PGE2, PGD2, Fe2(SO4)3 and the inhibitors including AH6809 and GW9662 were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Corp (St. Louis, MO, USA). M-30 was also obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Corp (St. Louis, MO, USA). 15d-PGJ2 were obtained from Enzo Life International Inc. (Plymouth Meeting, PA). NS398 was purchased from Tangchao Chemical Co., Ltd. (Xi’an, China). Aβ was synthesized by Qiangyao Biotechnology (Shanghai, China). mPGES-1, EP2, DP1, Tf, TfR or scramble siRNA and antibody specific for Tf or TfR were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). COX-2 or L-PGDS cDNA plasmids were obtained from Origene Technologies (Rockville, MD, USA), and subcloned to the pCMV6-XL vector. Antibodies against β-actin, PS1 and Aβ (Stock No. 15126) were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. (Danvers, MA, USA). mPGES-1 and L-PGDS antibody was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Corp (St. Louis, MO, USA). Antibody specific for APH-1α/1β was purchased from Merck Millipore (Bedford, MA, USA). All reagents for the qRT-PCR and SDS-PAGE experiments were purchased from Bio-Rad Laboratories. All other reagents were from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA, USA) unless otherwise specified.

Synthesis of PEDOT:Xanthan Gum Dispersions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PEDOT:xanthan
gum dispersions with 1, 2, and 3% solid content and
at different PEDOT:xanthan gum ratios were synthesized by oxidative
polymerization according to the following procedure. In a 25 mL round-bottom
flask containing 19.6 mL of Milli-Q water, 0.3, 0.27, 0.2, or 0.13
g of xanthan gum (Acros) was dissolved and purged with N2. Afterward, 0.1, 0.13, 0.2, or 0.27 g of EDOT monomer (Acros), together
with the 1.5 equiv of ammonium persulfate ((NH4)2S2O8, Sigma) and a catalytic amount (5 mg)
of iron(III) sulfate (Fe2(SO4)3 Sigma)
was added, respectively. The reaction solution was kept at 0 °C
until completion (144 h). The dispersions were purified by dialysis
with Milli-Q water and a regenerated cellulose dialysis membrane (12–14
kD) from SpectrumLabs. Finally, dispersions containing different PEDOT:xanthan
gum ratios were obtained by varying the initial amount of grams (0.25:0.75,
0.33:0.67, 0.5:0.5, and 0.67:0.33).

Cation Exchange in Nafion Membranes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In this study, Nafion ® 212 membranes were purchased in protonated (H + ) form from Ion Power Inc. (New Castle, DE) with the nominal thickness of 50 µm. Membranes were soaked into 0.5M (Li2SO4, Na2SO4, K2SO4, Cs2SO4, Fe2(SO4)3 and 1M (MgSO4, CuSO4, ZnSO4, FeSO4) aqueous sulfate solutions (from Sigma Aldrich and J.T. Baker) for 48 to 72 hours under ambient conditions to achieve new cationic forms, using the same procedure as described in a previous study. 4 The size of the membrane specimens, the volume of salt solutions and the amount of soak time were carefully selected to make sure that protons in membranes were fully exchanged with cations, as described previously. 71 Then, the membrane specimens were rinsed in deionized water for 3 times to remove excess solution on surface and stored in deionized water until use.
The membranes were dried in vacuum oven at 60C for at least 12 hours before testing.

Typically, a solution containing 500 mg of PVP (MW = 40,000, Sigma-Aldrich) and 5.0 ml of n-pentanol (99%, Sigma-Aldrich) was prepared in a 10 ml glass vial. A 140 μl aqueous solution of 40 mg ml−1 Fe2(SO4)3 (Sigma-Aldrich) and a 500 μl of anhydrous ethanol (Pharmco-Aaper) were added into the glass vial and mixed thoroughly under vortex stirrer. The mixed solution was kept standing for 1 min to release gas bubbles. Then, a 60 μl aqueous solution of NH3 (28 wt%, Sigma-Aldrich) and a 50 μl of TEOS (98%, Sigma-Aldrich) were added into the solution in sequence. After each addition, the mixture was gently shaken for 30 s. The mixture was incubated at 25 °C for 4 h to allow the reaction complete.

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.
