Plasma Renin Activity Measurement in Olfr558 Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasma renin activity was measured in 3-month-old Olfr558 WT and KO mice with a modified angiotensin I measurement kit (S-1188, Peninsula Laboratories). Plasma was collected from male and female Olfr558 WT and KO mice treated with 0.49% NaCl diet (catalog no. TD.96208 modified with orange color, Envigo). From males, we also collected plasma from mice given Teklad diet (Teklad 2018SX, 18% protein). Plasma was diluted 15-fold and then incubated with excess porcine angiotensinogen (SCP0021, Sigma-Aldrich) for 20 min at 37°C in a buffer containing 50 mM sodium acetate (pH 6.5), 10 mM 4-(2-aminoethyl) benzenesulfony fluoride hydrochloride (Sigma-Aldrich), 10 mM EDTA (pH 8.0), 1 μM porcine angiotensinogen, and 10 mM 8-hydroxyquinoline (Sigma-Aldrich). After incubation, the sample was analyzed according to the provided protocol. Plasma renin activity was assayed by competitive binding of angiotensin I antibody.

1 mg/mL stock solutions of each peptide (human angiotensin I, human angiotensin II, bradykinin, fibrinopeptide A, kemptide, neurotensin, porcine angiotensinogen, and substance P, all purchased from Sigma-Aldrich) were prepared in 0.1% formic acid (FA, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) in 10% acetonitrile (ACN, Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA) and deionized water. (Barnstead Nanopure Infinity System, Dubuque, IA). A peptide mixture containing 10 μM of each peptide was prepared from the stock solution in the same solvent mixture. Prior to MS analysis the peptide mixture solutions with final concentrations of 1 μM and 100 nM for each peptide were prepared by further dilution.

Plasma Renin Concentration Measurement

PRC measurement was performed on the 7th day of normal salt (NS), low salt (LS), or high salt (HS) diets. For hemorrhagic shock experiments, PRC was measured at 0, 1, 3, 9, 15 and 20 hours post hemorrhagic shock as previously reported [16 (link)]. The mice were lightly anesthetized with 1.5% isoflurane. Blood samples (~25 μL/sample) were collected from the retro-orbital plexus and centrifuged for 10 minutes at 1500 × g. Plasma samples (~10 μL) were obtained and incubated with excess porcine angiotensinogen (0.4 μmol/L; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 20 min. The amount of angiotensin (Ang) I generated after incubation was used to calculate the PRC with the Ang I enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kit (Bachem, San Carlos, CA, USA). PRC was expressed as the amount of Ang I generated per hour per milliliter of plasma.

The ESI solvent consisted of 0.1% formic acid (FA, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) in 10% acetonitrile (ACN, Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA) and deionized water (Barnstead Nanopure Infinity System, Dubuque, IA). Stock solutions of 9 peptides (human angiotensin I, human angiotensin II, bradykinin, fibrinopeptide, kemptide, melittin, neurotensin, porcine angiotensinogen, and substance P, all purchased from Sigma-Aldrich) were prepared in the ESI solvent. Aliquots from the stock solutions were mixed and diluted to a final concentration of 1 μM for each peptide.

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.
