Cell Surface Glycan Profiling Using Lectin Microarray

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A lectin microarray platform was used to profile 45 different glycan structures on the surface of sorted cells (Hirabayashi et al., 2013 (link), 2015 (link); Nagahara et al., 2008 (link); Tateno et al., 2007 (link), 2009 (link), 2010 (link), 2011 (link); Uchiyama et al., 2008 (link)). The lectin array employs a representative panel of immobilized lectins with known glycan structure binding specificity. Cell-membrane proteins were labeled with Cy3 dye (GE Healthcare, cat# GEPA23001) and hybridized to the lectin microarray. The resulting lectin chips were scanned for fluorescence intensity on each lectin-coated spot using an evanescent-field fluorescence scanner (GlycoTechnica Ltd.). All samples were run in triplicate, and the average of the triplicate was used for analysis. Data were normalized using the global normalization method.

Labelled RNA samples were prepared as described0 (link). Total RNA was extracted with TRIzol (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) from 10 cloned 2-cell embryos cultured for 24 h. RNA was subjected to two rounds of linear amplification using TargetAmp Two-Round Aminoallyl-aRNA Amplification Kits (Epicentre, Madison, WI, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For oocytes, control 2-cell embryos and nuclear donor cells, 10 pooled MII oocytes, 10 pooled IVF-derived 2-cell embryos and 500 cumulus cells were all subjected to total RNA extraction and two rounds of RNA amplification. Amplified RNA was labelled with Cy3 dye (GE Healthcare, Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire, UK) and hybridized to a Whole Mouse Genome oligo DNA microarray (4 × 44 K; Agilent Technologies) for 16 h at 65 °C according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Overexpression and Purification of Biotinylated BNCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As described previously [20 (link),33 (link),34 (link)], BNCs were overexpressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae AH22R cells that carried the ZZ-BNC expression plasmid, pGLD-ZZ50. Next, as described previously [20 (link),35 (link)], BNCs were extracted by disrupting the cells with glass beads; then, BNCs were purified on an AKTA chromatography system (GE Healthcare). Next, BNCs were biotinylated with the EZ-Link Sulfo-N-hydroxysuccinimide-biotin kit (Pierce), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. For binding assays, biotinylated BNCs were labeled with Cy3-dye (GE Healthcare) with N-hydroxysuccinimide chemistry, as described previously [36 (link)]. Finally, the drug-containing, biotinylated BNC-LP complex was prepared by conjugating the biotinylated BNC with drug-containing liposomes at a weight ratio of 1:35, as described previously [17 (link)].

Lectin Microarray Analysis of Salivary Glycoproteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A lectin microarray was obtained by synthesising 37 lectins with different binding preferences for the N and O chains (32 (link)). Salivary proteins were labelled with Cy3 dye (GE Healthcare, Boston, MA, USA). Cy3-labelled salivary proteins measuring 4 μg was mixed with 120 μg of incubation buffer and applied to lectin microarrays for 3 h at 37°C. Only sugar chains with a specific structure can bind to the corresponding lectin. Therefore, the fluorescence intensity of lectin represents the expression level of the corresponding glycoprotein.

After transformation of the pET28-NLS-Cas9 vector into E. coli strain BL21 (DE3), Cas9 protein expression was induced for 12 h at 18°C with 0.5 mM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The bacterial cells were lysed by sonication; after centrifugation at 20,000g for 30 min, the soluble lysate was mixed with Ni-NTA beads (Qiagen), and Cy3 dye (GE Healthcare) was added at a 1:10 ratio (protein:dye molecules). The mixture was incubated overnight (>12 h) at 4°C in the dark. Cy3-labeled Cas9 was eluted with elution buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 7.6], 150–500 mM NaCl, 10%–25% glycerol, 0.2 M imidazole) and dialyzed against dialyzing buffer (20 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM KCl, 1 mM DTT, 10% glycerol). The purified Cy3-labeled Cas9 protein was concentrated using an Ultracel 100K cellulose column (Millipore). The purity of the Cy3-labeled Cas9 protein was determined by SDS-PAGE. The Cy3 labeling efficiency was measured by comparing the absorption spectra of the Cas9 protein (280 nm) and the conjugated Cy3 dye molecule.

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.
