In Situ Tryptic Digestion and MALDI MS

Hydrogels (1 mm diameter)
were rehydrated for 15 min using 20 μL of 1 μg/mL trypsin
(in 100 mM ammonium bicarbonate) and then placed over the tissue region
of interest (brain thalamic region) onto the whole tissue surface
guided by the histological features on corresponding serial H&E
stained tissue section. The tissue sections were incubated in a microwave
oven (1.65 kW) for 2 min set at 10% of the power, to accelerate protein
digestion. Each hydrogel disc was removed from the tissue section
and placed in separate eppendorf tubes. Peptides imbibed into the
microwell hydrogels were extracted by organic (50% acetonitrile/5%
formic acid) and aqueous (100 mM ammonium bicarbonate) solvents, a
process that was repeated three times. The supernatants collected
from each extraction were combined and dried in a centrifugal vacuum
concentrator (SPD Speedvac, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).
The reconstituted extracts (20 μL, 0.1% formic acid) were spotted
for matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry
(MALDI MS) analysis, mixed with CHCA, 10 mg/mL in 50% acetonitrile,
0.5% TFA, and then stored at −20 °C until LC-MS/MS analysis
was performed.

Six μL of CAX-B solution (CAX-B at 1 mg/mL and Et3N at 10 μL/mL in 50% ACN) was added to a vial containing 160 amol of evaporated thymidine, and the vial was kept for 16 h at 38°C. The solution was dried in a SPD Spee d Vac (Thermo Scientific), redissolved in 5 μL of 0.1% TFA in 2% ACN, and injected into a Micro-HPLC system (Agilent 1100, Dionex PepMap 100 C18 column, 1 × 250 mm, 5 μm). Flow rate: 50 μL/minute. Mobile phase: 12% ACN with 0.1% TFA for 4 min, then 12-90% ACN in 40 min. The eluted sample was collected in the 8 to 17 min time-window. The dried sample was re-injected into a nano-LC (Eksigent Tempo LC MALDI System (AB SCIEX), Dionex PepMap 100 C18 column, 0.075 × 150 mm, 3 μm) at 300 nL/min with an immediate gradient of 12 to 90% ACN with 0.1% TFA in 50 min with collection of 3 droplets/min onto a MALDI plate with online matrix addition (CCA matrix: 2.5 mg/mL, 0.5 mL/min syringe pump flow), followed by MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS.

Amino Acid Analysis via Acid Hydrolysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All samples were subjected to acid hydrolysis prior to amino acid analysis. For that, 5 mg of dry substance was mixed with 2 mL of 6 M hydrochloric acid in screw-cap tubes and incubated in a drying chamber at 110 °C for 23 h. An aliquot of 300 µL of the hydrolysates was dried afterwards in a vacuum centrifuge (SPD Speed Vac; Thermo Fischer Scientific, Karlsruhe, Germany). The dry residues were dissolved in 600 µL of loading buffer (0.12 N lithium citrate, pH 2.20), membrane filtered (0.45 µm) and subjected to amino acid analysis. Quantification of amino acids was performed with the amino acid analyzer S 433 (Sykam, Fürstenfeldbruck, Germany). The injection volume was between 10 and 100 µL, and a PEEK column filled with the cation exchange resin LCA K07/Li (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 7 µM) was used for separation according to a custom gradient program. Loading and running buffers were purchased from Sykam. Post-column derivatization with ninhydrin was applied, followed by VIS detection with an integrated two-channel photometer at 440 and 570 nm. External calibration was performed with commercial amino acid standards (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany).

(1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3phosphoethanolamine-N-(lissamine rhodamine B sulfonyl), Avanti Polar Lipids, 810157) in 100% chloroform is evaporated with a SpeedVac (SPD SpeedVac, rotor RH64-11, ThermoScientific) for 15 min at room temperature. The pellet of RhodaminePE is suspended in 20 mM HEPES-Na pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 0.035% DDM, to a final concentration of 500 mM. This solution is then diluted to 5 mM of RhodaminePE to a buffer containing Ovalbumin (Ovalbumin 1 mM is solubilized in 20 mM HEPES-Na pH7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 0.035% DDM) and concentrated at 20 C as described below. 15 ml of solution were concentrated.

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.
