Cells were maintained for 3 days in 2i/LIF [49 (link)], followed by culture in N2B27 medium supplemented with CHIR99021 (Stemgent) and different FGF ligands for 24 hours. Lysates were prepared on ice using cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling Technologies, 9803) supplemented with protease inhibitors (Roche, 04693159001) and phosphatase inhibitors (Sigma, P2850, P5726, P0044). 20 μg of total cell lysate per lane were separated on 12% bis-tris gels, and blotted onto PVDF membranes (Millipore, IPFL00010) in MOPS buffer (Invitrogen, B000102). Blots were blocked for 60 minutes (Li-Cor, 927–50000) at room temperature and incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Washes were performed with PBS + 0.1% Tween-20 (MP Biomedicals). Secondary antibodies used were conjugated to 680 nm and 800 nm IR dyes (Li-Cor) compatible with the Odyssey (Li-Cor) immunoblot scanners. Quantification was performed in ImageJ (https://imagej.net).

PFOA Exposure in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PFOA (99% purity) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Stock solutions of PFOA were prepared by diluting PFOA in 0.5% v/v Tween 20 (MP Biomedicals, Solon, OH). Stock solutions were diluted to create doses of 1 mg/kg/day, 5 mg/kg/day, 10 mg/kg/day, and 20 mg/kg/day of PFOA. PFOA concentrations were chosen based on previous studies and their relevance. The highest concentration of serum PFOA following occupational exposure was 92.03 μg/mL and the arithmetic mean was 2.21 μg/mL (Olsen & Zobel, 2007 (link)). In mice studies, a serum PFOA level of 171 μg/mL was reached after 17 days of 20 mg/kg/day oral gavage (Lau et al., 2006). Therefore, to consider both community and occupational exposure, we chose to expose mice at low to high concentrations (1, 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg/day) in our study.

Bacterial Biomass Determination in Seawater

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the L–L assay, a commercially available kit for bacterial biomass determination (CheckLite HS Set, Kikkoman Biochemifa Co., Tokyo, Japan) containing the ATP releasing (cell lysis) reagent and the L–L reagent was modified for seawater sample measurement [18 ,19 (link)]. EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Osaka, Japan) was added to the ATP releasing reagent at a final concentration of 10 mM to avoid precipitation in the presence of the seawater samples or the seawater-based ATP standard solutions. To avoid the adsorption of the reagents and the adhesion of natural particles or debris to the micro-channels, 2% (v/v) Tween 20 (MP Biomedicals LLC, Santa Ana, CA, USA) was added to the L–L reagent. Both EDTA and Tween 20 were sterilized by autoclaving prior to use to eliminate potentially contaminating ATP. Seawater-based ATP standard solutions (5 × 10−12, 5 × 10−11, 5 × 10−10 M ATP and blank) were prepared from an original ATP standard solution (2 × 10−6 M ATP, Kikkoman Biochemifa Co., Tokyo, Japan) by diluting it with autoclaved artificial seawater (Daigo’s artificial seawater SP for marine microalgae medium, Nihon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). All reagents and standards were aseptically introduced into sterilized plastic bags (DSF-300, Tsukada Medical Research Co. Ltd., Ueda, Japan) for use in the in-situ analyzer.

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.
