Metabolomic Profiling Using UPLC-MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Extracts were split into two aliquots, dried, then reconstituted in acidic or basic LC-compatible solvents, each of which contained 11 or more injection standards at fixed concentrations. A Waters ACQUITY UPLC and a Thermo-Finnigan LTQ-FT MS were utilized for the analysis. One aliquot was analyzed using acidic positive ion optimized conditions and the other using basic negative ion optimized conditions in two independent injections using separate dedicated columns. Extracts reconstituted in acidic conditions were gradient eluted from a Waters BEH C18 2.1 x 100 mm, 1.7 μm column using water and methanol both containing 0.1% formic acid, while basic extracts, which also used water/methanol, contained 6.5 mM ammonium bicarbonate. MS analysis alternated between MS and data-dependent MS2 scans using dynamic exclusion, scanning from 80–1000 m/z. Accurate mass measurements were made on precursor ions with greater than 2 million counts; typical mass error was less than 5 ppm.

Quantification of Lung Adenocarcinoma CD26/DPP4 Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We have previously provided data on the activity of CD26/DPP4 from patients bearing lung adenocarcinoma including the methodology how to obtain these activities (23) . In brief, we analyzed thirty-eight pairs of fresh-frozen human lung adenocarcinoma biopsies and corresponding normal lung tissues from patients who underwent surgical resection at the University Hospital Zurich between 2003 and 2006 (TNM stage: IA to IV). Proteins were labelled with the fluorophosphates derivative 6-Nbiotinylaminohexyl isopropyl phosphorofluoridate (FP-1) serving as an activity probe. Labelled proteins enriched with streptavidin-beads were digested with trypsin and analyzed on an FT-ICR mass spectrometer (LTQ-FTMS, Thermo Finnigan). Tandem mass spectrometry data were searched in the recently updated human database (UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot) with Mascot 2.2 search engine. For relative quantification, MS data were analyzed with Progenesis LC-MS version 2.5 (Nonlinear Dynamics) with the three most intense peptides matching to a protein by The median ratio of the top three intense peptide ions matching to enzymes in malignant versus normal tissues was used. The specific activity of CD26/DPP4 was presented as the relative activity of mean activity of normal tissue.

The NMR spectra were run at 300 and 500 (1H), 75 and 125 (13C) MHz, on Varian Mercury 300 and JEOL GX-500 NMR spectrometers, respectively. The chemical shifts (δ) are reported in ppm downfield to TMS in the appropriate deuterated solvent. For ESI-MS analyses, LCQ (Finnigan MAT 95, Bremen, Germany) and LTQ-FT-MS spectrometers were used, while HR-ESI-MS (Thermo Electron, Finnigan, Germany) was used for HR-ESI-MS analyses. UV spectrophotometer (JASCO V-630) was used for analysis of pure samples in MeOH and in different UV shift reagents.
Material for column chromatography (CC), including microcrystalline cellulose, polyamide S 6 and Sephadex LH-20, as well as Whatman No. 1 sheets used for paper chromatography were purchased from sources described in our previous literature.[11 (link)] Isolated compounds were detected using Naturstoff[11 (link)] and/or FeCl3 (1% in ethanol) spray reagents. Solvent systems S1 (n-BuOH/HOAc/H2O; 4:1:5 v/v/v top layer), S2 (HOAc/H2O; 15:85 v/v) and S3 (n-BuOH/iso-propanol/H2O; 4:1:5, v/v/v top layer) were used.

Peptide Extraction and LC-MS/MS Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Gel spots were destained and subjected to trypsin (20 ng/μL; Promega) digest. Further extraction of peptides from the gel material was performed twice, and these solutions were collected and combined. The supernatant solutions of extracted peptides were combined and dried in a vacuum centrifuge. The samples were then subjected to liquid chromatography (LC)–tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis by the HSC Core at the University of Utah. Specifically, peptides were analyzed using a nano–LC-MS/MS system comprised of a nano-LC pump (Eksigent, AB SCIEX, Framingham, MA) and an LTQ-FT mass spectrometer (Thermo Electron Corporation, Waltham, MA). LTQ-FT MS raw data files were processed to peak lists with BioWorks Browser 3.2 software (Thermo Electron Corporation). Resulting DTA files from each data acquisition file were merged, and the data file was searched for identified proteins against the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database, mouse taxonomy subdatabase, using Mascot search engine (version 2.2.1; Matrix Science). Identified peptides were accepted only when the Mascot ion score value exceeded 20.

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.
