TSC2 add-back (300,000/well for 24 hr and 150,000/well for 72 hr) and TSC2-deficient cells (200,000/well for 24 hr and 100,000 for 72 hr) were seeded in 12-well plates and treated with GLPG1690 (6 μM) or control (0.06% DMSO) in DMEM with 10% FBS for 24 or 72 hr. Cells were then incubated for 3 hr at 37ºC with 1 μCi/mL of [U-14C]palmitate (PerkinElmer Inc., MA). 3 M perchloric acid was added to the cell culture medium and the wells were sealed with Whatman filter paper saturated with phenethylamine (Sigma-Aldrich) to capture 14C-CO2. The plates were gently shaken for 3 hr at room temperature and the filter paper was removed and placed into Ultima Gold F Scintillation Fluid (PerkinElmer Inc.). Radioactivity was counted on a Packard Tri-Carb Liquid Scintillation Analyzer. Data were normalized against the protein mass (total μg from three independent wells).

Lipid Synthesis in TSC2-Deficient Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human TSC2-deficient cells (400,000/well for 24 hr and 200,000 for 72 hr) and TSC2 add-back cells (600,000/well for 24 hr and 300,000/well for 72 hr) were seeded in 6-well plates and treated with GLPG1690 (6 μM) or control (0.06% DMSO) in DMEM with 10% FBS for 24 or 72 hr. Cells were then labeled with [1-14C]acetic acid (0.5 μCi/ml; PerkinElmer, MA) for 4 hr, washed 2 times with PBS and collected for lipid extraction using isopropanol (500 μL). Radioactivity from 20 μL of the lipid extract was counted on a Packard Tri-Carb Liquid Scintillation Analyzer. Data were normalized against the protein mass (total μg from three independent wells).

Measuring Inositol Phosphate Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
24h post-transfection, transiently transfected HEK293T cells were seeded in poly-L-lysine coated 48 well plates and labeled overnight with myo-[2-3H]-inositol (1 μCi/ml) in Earle's inositol-free minimal essential medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% P/S. The next day, cells were washed with buffer (20 mM HEPES, 140 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 1 mM MgSO4, 1 mM CaCl2, 10 mM glucose) supplemented with 0.1% BSA and incubated for 2h in the above mentioned buffer containing 10 mM LiCl in the absence or presence of indicated concentrations chemokines. Incubation was terminated by placing the cells on ice and aspirating the stimulation buffer prior to the addition of ice-cold 10 mM formic acid. After incubating the formic acid for 90 min on ice, generated [3H]-inositol phosphates (InsP) were isolated by anion-exchange chromatography (Dowex AG1-X8 columns; Bio-Rad) and counted by a Packard Tri-Carb liquid scintillation analyzer.

Measuring Cellular Acetate Metabolism

Cells were seeded in 12-well plates, treated with rapamycin (20 nM) for 24 hr, and incubated for 3 hours at 37°C with 1 μCi/mL of [1-14C]acetate (PerkinElmer Inc., MA). Three mol/L of perchloric acid was added to the culture media and the dishes were sealed with a phenylethylamine (Sigma-Aldrich)-saturated Whatman filter paper to capture 14C-CO2, as previously done 32 (link). Following 3-hour incubation at room temperature on a gentle shaker, the filter paper was removed, placed into Ultima Gold F Scintillation Fluid (PerkinElmer Inc.), and radioactivity was counted on a Packard Tri-Carb Liquid Scintillation Analyzer.

Binding Assay for [3H]PK 11195

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Binding assays of [3H]PK 11195, including displacement studies were done as previously described.76 (link) The reaction mixtures for the binding assays contained 400 μl of homogenized rat kidney membranes (5 mg of homogenate/ml) and 25 μl of [3H]PK 11195 (2 nM final concentration)76 (link) in the absence (total binding) or presence of various concentrations (10-10 M–10-5 M) of the synthesized compounds described in this study. After incubation for 60 min at 4 °C, samples were filtered under vacuum over Whatman GF/C filters and washed three times with 5 ml of 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.4. The filters were incubated in CytoScint (MP Biomedicals) and radioactivity was measured after 12 h with a 1600 CA Tri-Carb liquid scintillation analyzer (Packard). Inhibitory constant (Ki) values were calculated by the equation Ki=IC50/(1+C/Kd), where C=[3H] PK 11195 concentration, IC50=concentration causing 50% inhibition of [3H]PK 11195 binding and Kd=2 nM (from Scatchard analysis of [3H]PK 11195 binding to kidney membranes).

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.
