Plasmids 19-2GG, 19-2AA, 19-3GG and 19-3AA, which contain the CYP2C19*2 G681G, CYP2C19*2 A681A, CYP2C19*3 G636G, and CYP2C19*3 A636A genes, respectively, were constructed using the pMDTM19-T Vector Cloning Kit (Takara Bio Inc. Dalian, China) and were extracted from transformed Escherichia coli DH5α cells using a TIANprep Mini Plasmid Kit (Tiangen Biotech Co., Ltd. Beijing, China). The plasmids were identified via sequencing by Beijing Genomic Institute (BGI, Beijing, China). The concentrations were determined using a NanoDrop 2000c/2000 UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Wilmington, DE, USA).

Peripheral blood samples were collected from 100 unrelated Chinese volunteers using EDTA-coated tubes at the Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital (Xi’an, China) with informed consent. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the National Engineering Research Center for Miniaturized Detection Systems, Xi’an, China. All methods were performed in accordance with these approved guidelines. The genomic DNA from the volunteer was isolated from 200 μL of blood using a Whole Blood Genomic DNA Isolation Kit (Xi’an GoldMag Nanobiotech Co., Ltd., Xi’an, Shaanxi, China), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The final DNA quality and concentrations were measured using a NanoDrop 2000c/2000 UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Wilmington, DE, USA), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Gemcitabine pH-Dependent Release Kinetics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three vials of pH 8.0–9.0 gemcitabine + CMG encapsulation solution (2 mL) were centrifuged 30 minutes at 12,500 RPM. The supernatant was aspirated and the CMG-Gem nanoparticles were re-suspended in 2 mL of pH 7.4, 6.5, or 6.0 PBS. All samples remained under magnetic stirring at room temperature for 96 h. These nanoparticles were characterized by NanoDrop 2000c/2000 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE, USA). Gemcitabine release was calculated by UV-Vis absorbance at 275 nm with 3 separate measurements of two drops of from each sample, for a total of 6 measurements per pH condition per time point. An average of the values was plotted as the UV-VIS absorbance for that time point. Prior to each supernatant sampling, each sample was spun for 10 minutes at 10,000 RPM to precipitate the nanoparticles. Percentage gemcitabine release was calculated by dividing the average value for each pH sample measurement at a time point by the maximum UV-Vis value measured for that pH value over a 96 hour period.

Gemcitabine Release Kinetics from MSNs

Gemcitabine loaded MSNs (3 mL) were titrated to a pH of 6.5, 6.8, or 7.4 by addition of NaOH or HCI and placed inside dialysis tubing. The samples were then placed in a solution of PBS (15mL) at a matching pH. The samples were stirred continuously throughout the experiment. Readings of the PBS solutions were analyzed with the NanoDrop 2000c/2000 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE, USA). A solution for PBS was used as blank for the spectrophotometer. It was possible to determine the amount of Gemcitabine released from the MSNs by analyzing the dialysis fluid. Samples were read consecutively every hour for 10 hours and absorbance values were plotted to determine the drug release kinetics of Gemcitabine from the MSNs.

Quantitative Real-time PCR was operated on Rotor-Gene Q® PCR system as a reader (Cat.#: 204774; QiagenTM, Milan, Italy) via GenElute® RNA extraction/SIGMA PCR kit (Cat.#: REI10; QiagenTM, Milan, Italy)86. Cells were treated with IC50 of 8b for 48 h and total RNA was extracted from the non-treated and treated cells. RNA purity was assessed via Nanodrop® 2000/2000c UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Thermo-ScientificTM, Bilbao, Spain). Synthesis of cDNA was proceeded using QuantiNova® Reverse Transcription Kit (Cat.#: RTN30; QiagenTM, Milan, Italy) and the subsequent PCR tests were conducted via single tubes. Specific forward/reverse primer pairs were selected for investigated (Casp-3, -8, -9, BAX, and Bcl2). Obtained results were expressed within Cycle threshold (Ct) values, while relative quantitation of each measured gene was assessed based on ΔΔCt calculations as represented in Table 5 [79 (link)].

DNA Extraction from Whole Blood

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Venous blood (3 mL) was collected in vials containing EDTA for DNA extraction and stored at −80 °C until extraction. DNA was extracted from whole blood using a Blood Genomic DNA Extraction Mini Kit (ALPHAGEN Biotech Ltd., Taiwan) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, 200 μL of whole blood was incubated at 60°C with proteinase K and 200 μL BG Buffer for 15 min by vortexing the sample every 5 min. Ethanol (200 μL, 99.5%) was added, transferred to a BG mini-column, centrifuged, and the mini-column placed in a new collection tube. The column was washed once with 200 μL GW Buffer and then with 750 μL Wash Buffer. After drying, the DNA was eluted in 100 μL of preheated Elution Buffer by centrifugation of the BG mini-column at full speed. DNA was quantified using a NanoDrop 2000/2000c UV/VIS Spectrophotometer (ThermoScientific™). To assess the purity of DNA, the absorbance at 260 nm (A260) was divided by the absorbance at 280 nm (A280). An A260/A280 ratio of 1.7–2.0 was considered good-quality DNA devoid of proteins. Extracted DNA samples were stored at −20 °C until genotyping.

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.
