Quantifying Synaptic Responses and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Evoked synaptic responses were averaged per cell over >10 alternating repetitions in Igor Pro 6.34A (Wavemetrics, USA). Response area was determined by subtracting a baseline (10 ms prior to event onset) from the response for a maximum of 100 ms or until the response dropped below baseline. For peak amplitude analysis, the maximum deviation from baseline was used. In the case of feedback inhibition, the response to the second pulse stimulus was baseline-corrected and subsequently subtracted from the first pulse, as this subsequent response does not contain nicotine-dependent polysynaptic input (Supplementary Fig. 1d). Statistical analysis was subsequently performed using SPSS Statistics 17.0 (IBM, USA) and Origin Pro 9.0 (OriginLab Corporation, USA).

For LA-ICP-MS measurements, tumor and kidney samples were embedded in Tissue-Tek medium and cryosectioned into slices of 20 μm thickness with a cryotom (Microm HM 550, Thermo Fisher). Quantitative bioimaging by LA-ICP-MS was performed according to a previously described procedure, using matrix-matched calibration standards.29 (link) A Nd:YAG solid state laser (NWR 213, ESI, Fremont, CA, USA) at a wavelength of 213 nm was used to obtain the spatially-resolved distribution of platinum in tumor and kidney sections. Laser ablation was performed as described previously.9 (link) Data were recorded by using a Triple Quadrupole ICP-MS Agilent 8800 instrument (Agilent Technologies, Tokyo, Japan) and processed with the Agilent MassHunter software package (Workstation Software, Version B.01.03, 2013). The software Igor Pro (Wavemetrics, Igor Pro 6.34A) together with its add-on Iolite (Iolite Version 2.5) was used for further data processing and generation of platinum distribution maps.30 (link)

Kinetic Analysis of Acetyl-CoA and Tryptamine

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To differentiate between sequential and classic ping-pong kinetic mechanisms, double-reciprocal plots of the initial velocity data were generated for acetyl-CoA and tryptamine in SigmaPlot 12.0. Non-linear regression analysis of initial rates and model discrimination analyses were performed in WaveMetrics IGOR Pro 6.34A. Initial velocities were determined by varying the concentration of one substrate, while holding the other substrate at a fixed concentration. The two plots were generated by holding the tryptamine concentration constant (40 μM, 60 μM, 120 μM, 250 μM, and 500 μM) and varying the concentration of acetyl-CoA. Accordingly, the second plot held the concentration of acetyl-CoA constant (15 μM, 25 μM, 40 μM, 90 μM, and 200 μM) and varied the tryptamine concentration. The resulting initial velocity data was fit to Equation 3 for an ordered bi-bi mechanism and to Equation 4 for ping-pong mechanism, where vo is the initial velocity, Vmax is the maximal velocity, [A] is the concentration of substrate A, [B] is the concentration of substrate B, Kia is the dissociation constant for substrate A, Kb is the Michaelis constant for substrate B, and Ka is the Michaelis constant for substrate A. Kia, the dissociation constant for acetyl-CoA, was fixed at 0.7 μM, based on the direct measurement of acetyl-CoA binding to Bm-iAANAT3 by isothermal calorimetry (ITC) [34 (link)].

Whole-cell Patch-clamp of HEK293T Cells

Whole-cell patch clamp recordings from transiently transfected HEK293T cells were performed at room temperature (22–24°C) and with heat (up to ~50°C) followed. Current responses were low-pass filtered at 2 kHz (Axopatch 200B), digitally sampled at 5–10 kHz (Digidata 1440A), converted to digital files in Clampex10.7 (Molecular Devices) and stored on an external hard drive for offline analyses (Clampfit10.7, Molecular Devices; Excel 2010, Microsoft Office; Igor Pro 6.34A, Wavemetrics). Pipettes were pulled from borosilicate glass and heat-polished to final resistances between 3 and 7 MΩ. Electrodes were filled with an intracellular solution containing (in mM) 140 NaCl, 5 MgCl2, 10 HEPES, 5 EGTA, and adjusted to pH 7.4 (NaOH). MgCl2 was included to both increase the quality of the seals and to block endogenous HEK293T channels. The extracellular solution consisted of (in mM): 140 NaCl, 10 HEPES, 5 EDTA, pH 7.4 (NaOH). For heat activation, we used the same method as described in oocyte temperature recordings above.

TRPV4 Whole-Cell Patch-Clamp Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After 1 day co-expression of GFP and wild type TRPV4 and its mutants, the whole-cell configuration patch clamp recordings were done at room temperature (22 ˚C). Data were acquired with an Axopatch 200B amplifier (Molecular Devices), currents were low-pass filtered at 2 kHz (Axopatch 200B) and digitally sampled at 5–10 kHz (Digidata 1440 A). Pipettes were pulled from borosilicate glass (1.5 mm O.D. x 0.86 mm I.D. x 75 mm L; Harvard Apparatus) using a Sutter P-97 puller and heat-polished to final resistances between 2 and 3 MΩ. 90% series resistance (Rs) compensation was used in all whole-cell recordings. Electrodes were filled with an intracellular solution containing 140 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 10 mM HEPES, and adjusted to pH 7.4 (NaOH). The extracellular solution contained 140 mM NaCl, 10 mM HEPES, 5 mM EGTA, pH 7.4 (NaOH), GSK101 and ruthenium red (RR) were applied using a gravity-fed perfusion system. Currents were recorded using a voltage ramp protocol consisting of 50 ms at a holding potential of −60 mV, 1000 ms ramp to +60 mV, followed by another 50 ms at 60 mV. All electrophysiological data analysis was done using Igor Pro 6.34 A (Wavemetrics).

Acetyl-CoA Kinetics: pH Dependence

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pH dependence of the kinetic constants for acetyl-CoA (in the presence of saturating 8.0 mM tryptamine) were determined at intervals of 0.5 pH units ranging from pH 6.0 to 9.5. The buffers used were the following: MES (pH 6.0 – 6.5), Tris (pH 7.0 – 9.0) and AmeP (pH 9.0 – 9.5). The resulting kinetic data was fit to Equation 8 in WaveMetrics IGOR Pro 6.34A to delineate the pKa values of measured ionizable groups. In this equation, y represents either kcat/Km or Km, c is the pH-independent plateau, H is the hydrogen ion concentration, and Ka represents the two unresolvable hydrogen ion dissociation constants.

Corrosion Monitoring via AFM Imaging

Atomic force microscopy images were recorded for Zn/Chit and Zn/Chit-AcAMT samples before and after 3 days of exposure to a 0.2 g/L Na2SO4 corrosive solution.
High-resolution topographies were recorded with an MFP-3D atomic force microscope, (Asylum Research, Santa Barbara CA; driving software written in IgorPro 6.34A, Wavemetrics).
Rectangular silicon cantilevers with a tetrahedral tip with a radius below 10 nm were used in these measurements (AC240, Olympus, Optical Co. Ltd. Tokyo, Japan). Prior to measurements, the spring constant for each cantilever was calibrated, according to standard built-in procedures [30, (link)31] (link), prior to measurements. The images were recorded with a typical resolution of 512 by 512 pixels, with a scan speed of 10 µm/s in a closed loop. In order to correct potential sample tilt, all height images were first-order flattened and planefitted.

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.
