To investigate the rate of chylomicron production in the intestine, mice were injected intravenously with 0.5 mg/g BW Triton WR-1339 (Tyloxapol (Sigma); 10% solution in PBS) before receiving an oral gavage of olive oil containing 14C-Triolein (Perkin-Elmer; 1.5 kBq 14C-Triolein/g BW in 2.6 µL olive oil/g BW). Blood samples were taken from the tail vein before gavage and 30, 60, 120, and 240 min after gavage. Plasma samples were mixed with scintillation fluid and radioactivity was measured using a Perkin Elmer Tricarb scintillation counter and expressed as cpm per µL plasma.

Triglyceride Hydrolase Enzyme Assay

Protein was extracted from primary enterocytes in 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer by brief sonication. For Figure 5A, primary enterocytes were incubated with rMFGE8 or RGE proteins (10 μg/mL) in serum-free media for 1 h before proceeding with protein isolation. 60–100 μg protein was incubated with 100 μL TG substrate (25 nmol triolein/assay and 40,000 cpm/nmol 14C-triolein; PerkinElmer) and 35.5 μg mixed micelles of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol (3:1, w/w), respectively, for 1 h at 37. After 1 h, the reaction was terminated by adding 3.25 mL methanol/chloroform/heptane (10:9:7, v/v/v) and 1 mL 100 mM potassium carbonate (pH 10.5 with boric acid). After centrifugation (800×g, 15 min, 4°C), radioactivity was measured in 1 mL of the upper phase by liquid scintillation counting.11 (link) The radioactivity counts were normalized relative to protein concentration and the TG hydrolase activity was expressed as relative fold changes to the untreated control samples.

Radiolabeled VLDL Clearance Kinetics

VLDL was isolated from human plasma by density gradient ultracentrifugation.14Ctriolein (Perkin Elmer, MA) was dried down in a glass tube under a stream of N2 to obtain a dry lipid film. Isolated VLDL was added to the dried lipid film and sonicated on ice for 15–20 minutes. Approximately, 20 μCi of[14C]triolein/ml of VLDL was used for 20 mice. VLDL was then dialyzed in a buffer containing 150mM NaCl and 0.24mM EDTA at 4C and counts were measured. Radiolabeled VLDL was then diluted with PBS and injected intravenously in mice (1*106 cpm/mouse). Blood samples were collected before (0) and 30 seconds, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes and 60 minutes after injection. Plasma was separated and counts were measured using 10 μl plasma in a scintillation counter.

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.
