Muscle triglyceride content was measured by the modified Bligh and Dyer method [23 (link)]. Approximately 60 mg skeletal muscle tissue was homogenized in 1 mL of ice-cold methanol and lipids were extracted using 1:2 methanol:chloroform. The polar and non-polar phases were then separated by centrifugation, and the lower non-polar phase was isolated and dried under nitrogen. The dried samples were then resuspended in isopropanol + 2% Triton X-100 for direct triglyceride quantitation using Infinity Triglycerides Reagent (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and a standard curve with glycerol standard solution (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) per manufacturer’s instructions. Resultant triglyceride concentrations were normalized to starting tissue weight. Results from dams and select offspring measures have been reported previously, as were fetal and adult liver triglyceride content [17 (link)].

Triglyceride content within mouse liver was analyzed as previously described [67 (link)]. In brief, liver was homogenized in NETN lysis buffer supplemented with 5 mM NaF (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), 50 mM 2-glycerophosphate (Sigma-Aldrich), and protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, Nutley, NJ). Lipid content was determined using Infinity Triglycerides Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) according to the manufacturer's protocol.

Triglyceride (TG) levels were determined using a commercial kit (Infinity™ Triglycerides Reagent, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Middleton, VA, USA). Briefly, after 48 h, cells were washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and harvested by scraping the cells from the culture plate in PBS containing 1 % Triton-X. Cell homogenates were obtained by sonication using Fisherbrand™ Model 50 Sonic Dismembrator (Fisher Scientific), and TG concentrations were determined according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Protein concentrations were measured using Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit and used for normalization of samples.

As described previously [14 (link)], hepatic lipids were extracted and saponified by the Folch extraction method. After saponification, TG were measured spectrophotometrically using the Infinity Triglycerides reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific (Middletown, VA, USA). A NEFA-HR (2) diagnostic kit from Wako Life Sciences, Inc. (Mountain View, CA, USA).was used to measure serum NEFA.

Quantitative Lipid Analysis of Liver

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Liver tissues were washed in 50 mM NaCl and homogenized in 1 mL 50 mM NaCl with 0.5 mm glass silica beads and beaded for 30 s. Hepatic lipids were extracted using an aqueous solution of chloroform and methanol in a 2:1 ratio based on the Bligh and Dyer method (Bligh and Dyer, 1959). Triglyceride and cholesterol standards (catalog: T7531-STD, C7509-STD; Point Scientific; Canton, MI) were utilized to generate a standard curve to quantify the extracted lipids. Extracted triglycerides and cholesterol were colorimetrically quantified using a microplate absorbance reader (BioTek Gen 5; Winooski, VT, USA). Reagents used in the assay: Infinity Triglycerides Reagent (TR22421, ThermoFisher Scientific, Middletown, VA, USA) and Infinity Cholesterol Reagent (TR13421, ThermoFisher Scientific, Middletown, VA, USA).

Generation and Characterization of A1CF Knock-in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All procedures used for animal studies were approved by Harvard University’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and were consistent with local, state, and federal regulations as applicable. Knock-in mice were generated using a guide RNA designed to target the orthologous site of the A1CF p.Gly390Ser variant. In vitro transcribed Cas9 mRNA (100 ng/μL; TriLink BioTechnologies) and guide RNA (50 ng/μL) were co-injected with 100 ng/μL single-strand DNA oligonucleotide (Integrated DNA Technologies): (Supplementary Table 21) into the cytoplasm of fertilized oocytes from C57BL/6J mice. Genomic DNA samples from founder mice were screened for knock-in mutations by PCR and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Positive mice were bred with C57BL/6J mice to generate wild-type and homozygous knock-in mice. Male colony mates at 12 weeks of age were used for lipid measurements. Blood samples were collected from the lateral tail vein following an overnight fast. Plasma triglyceride levels were measured using Infinity Triglycerides Reagent (Thermo Fisher) according to the manufacturers’ instructions.

Triglyceride Content Quantification in Adipocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following cell treatment, the medium was removed, and mature adipocytes were thoroughly washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and harvested using a 300 µL of buffer comprising Tris-HCl at pH 7.4, 0.15 M sodium chloride (NaCl) and 1 mM ethylene diamine tetra acetate (EDTA) with protease inhibitors (0.1 M phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride and 0.1 M iodoacetamide). Afterwards, cell samples were disrupted using ultrasound equipment, the Branson Digital Sonifier SFX 550 (Emerson Electric Co, St. Louis, MO, USA) with a 2 mm diameter ultrasound-microprobe (Biogen Scientific S.L., Madrid, Spain). Triglyceride content (mg/mL) was measured using Infinity Triglycerides reagent (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). The lipid content of cells was standardised by the protein content of each well. Protein content was determined using the method described by Bradford et al. [33 (link)]. Results are expressed as mg of triglycerides/mg of protein, and presented in arbitrary units.

Serum NEFA, TG, and cholesterol concentrations were determined by using commercial kits for NEFA (Wako Diagnostics, VA), TG (Infinity Triglycerides Reagent, Thermo Scientific, USA), and cholesterol (Infinity total cholesterol, Thermo Scientific, USA). These assays were performed by the Diabetes Research Center (DRC) at Washington University School of Medicine. Blood glucose concentrations were measured by using commercial blood test strips (Accu-Check, Roche, USA) by using a drop of tail blood.

Quadriceps and 100–200 mg liver samples were collected from overnight‐fasted mice, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80°C until analysis. Frozen tissues were homogenized in 7.5 mL chloroform/methanol (2:1), sonicated for 1 h, and filtered using syringe‐driven 0.45 μm PTFE filter units. Sulfuric acid (2.5 mL of 0.05%) was added to filtered extractions and samples were centrifuged for 2 min at 2500 g. The organic phase was allowed to evaporate for 48 h and then reconstituted in 100% chloroform. Duplicate 500 μL aliquots were dried overnight to determine total lipids. Additional aliquots were used to determine triglyceride content using Infinity Triglycerides Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and cholesterol levels using an enzymatic kit (Wako Diagnostics, Richmond, VA).

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.
