Oxidation of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used the same technical setup as for calibration (Supplementary Materials, File 1). A total of 30 µL of an animal-sourced mixture of polyunsaturated fatty acids and three isolated polyunsaturated fatty acids—linoleic, linolenic, and arachidonic acid (analytical standard, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany)—were oxidized in a cleaned flask under 100 mL/min flow of highly purified synthetic air (oxygen content: 21%; Alphagaz 1, Air Liquide, Paris, France) and constant fanning. Headspace gas was sampled at 10-min intervals by the MCC–IMS. Signal intensities between the limit of detection and quantification were considered as unquantifiable traces.

The standards of fatty acids (oleic, palmitic, palmitoleic, myristic, margaric, stearic, linoleic, arashidic, margoleic, gadoleic, linolenic, lignoceric and behenic acids) were obtained from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany) . All chemicals and standards (cholesterol, brassicasterol, 24-methylen cholesterol, campesterol, campestanol, stigmasterol, Δ7-campesterol, Δ5,23stigmastadienol, clerosterol, b-sistosterol, sitostanol, Δ5avenasterol, Δ5,24-stigmastadienol, Δ7-stigmastenol, Δ7avenasterol, erythrodiol and uvaol) used in sterol analysis were also purchased from Merck except for internal standards (3-α-cholestanol) from Sigma-Aldrich, Supelco (Bellefonte, PA, USA) . All chemicals and solvents used in the analyzes were of GC and HPLC purity (99.0%) .

Methanol and n-hexane of analytical grade were obtained from PENTA (Praha, Czech Republic). The toluene (analytical-grade) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Further, the 3-(Trifluoromethyl)phenyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (TFTMAH), 5% w/v in methanol (known as MethPrep II), was supplied by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Nihonbashi-honcho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan). The fatty acid standards—azelaic (C9), suberic (C8), sebacic (C10), palmitic (C16:0), stearic (C18:0), oleic (C18:1), linoleic (C18:2), linolenic (C18:3), and cholesta-3,5-diene-7-one—were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Individual stock standard solutions were prepared for fatty acids in n-hexane and cholesta-3,5-diene-7-one in 2-propanol at a concentration of 1 mg·mL−1 and stored in a refrigerator at 5 °C.

Lipid Droplet Visualization in Fungi

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mycelia were incubated in MM containing 80 mg l−1 toxoflavin and 1% sodium oleate, 1% linoleic acid, or 1% linolenic (Sigma-Aldrich) at 25 °C with shaking at 200 r.p.m. for 24 h. Lipid droplets in fungal cells were stained with a Nile Red solution consisting of 50 mM Tris/maleate buffer (pH 7.5), 20 mg ml−1 polyvinylpyrrolidone, and 2.5 μg ml−1 Nile Red Oxazone (Sigma-Aldrich). The samples were incubated for 15 min at room temperature and were washed two times with phosphate-buffered saline. Fluorescence emitted by the lipid droplets was observed with a Carl Zeiss confocal microscope (excitation at 490 nm, LSM 510). To determine whether vegetative growth that was affected by toxoflavin could be complemented with exogenous sodium oleate, 1% sodium oleate was added into MM agar supplemented with 80 mg l−1 toxoflavin or 5 mM H2O2. Each fungal strain was incubated at 25 °C for 4 d.

High purity standards for the qualitative-quantitative determination of fatty acids (palmitic, palmitoleic, heptadecanoic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic, arachidic, eicosenoic, behenic), α-T, triterpenic acids (maslinic and oleanoic acids), hexanal, and 2-methylpropyl acetate, as well as all High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) grade solvents, were all purchased from Sigma–Aldrich (Milan, Italy). Tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, and verbascoside were purchased from Fluka (Milan, Italy), Cabru s.a.s. (Arcore, Milan, Italy), and Extrasynthese (Genay Cedex, France), respectively. Oleacein and oleocanthal were obtained from PhytoLab GmbH & Co. (Vestenbergsgreuth, Germany). Carotenoids (lutein and β-carotene) and β-T3 standards were purchased from CaroteNature (Lupsingen, Liestal, Switzerland) and Cayman chemicals (Ann Arbor, MI, USA), respectively.

Fatty Acid Profiling of Oils

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fatty acids of oils were converted into their methyl esters (FAMEs) before gas chromatography (GC) analyses with a modification according to the AOCS Official Method Ce 1h-05 (Firestone, 2009 ) were performed. Oils were dissolved in 0.5 ​mL hexane and converted into FAMEs and 100 ​μL methanolic KOH (2 ​M) was added. Hydrochloric acid (2 ​M) was added until methyl orange indicator changed to pink and the mixture was allowed to settle. Then, 10 ​μL of the organic layer was injected into an Agilent 7890 ​GC (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) equipped with a flame ionization detector. A stainless-steel column (30 ​m ​× ​0.25 ​mm) packed with 70% cyanopropyl polysilphenylene siloxane was used. The oven temperature was held at 100 ​°C after sample injection and increased to 225 ​°C with a rate of 5 ​°C/min. The injector and detector temperatures were 260 ​°C and 280 ​°C, respectively. Helium was used as the carrier gas (3 ​mL/min), split ratio of 1:100 and the injection volume was 1 ​μL. The concentration of FAMEs in samples was determined using fatty acids standards including myristic, palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic and arachidic acid (Sigma Aldrich, UK).

Immortalized human meibomian gland epithelial cells (IHMGECs) were cultured in the presence or absence of 10% fetal bovine serum, according to published protocols.16 (link)–18 (link) After reaching 80 to 90% confluence (~ 5 × 10/6 (link) well), cells were exposed to ethanol vehicle, linolenic acid (ω-3, 10−5 M; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX), linoleic acid (ω-6, 10−5 M; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) or linolenic and linoleic acids together (0.5×10−5+ 0.5×10−5M), for 5 to 7 days. Azithromycin (AZM, 10 μg/ml; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) was used as a positive control in all experiments, because this antibiotic has well-defined effects on both the proliferation and differentiation of IHMGECs.19 (link)–22 (link) Following treatment, cells were processed for enumerative, histological and biochemical procedures.

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.
