Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Starting from the methanol-precipitated OOPS interface, proteins were digested using 1 μg Lys-C (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) in 100 μL of 100 mM TEAB (Sigma-Aldrich) with 1 μL of RNaseOUT (Thermo Fisher Scientific) overnight at 37 ºC. Two different approaches were used to enriched RNA-peptides:
RNA-peptides were re-suspended in 100 μL of 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0)/ 2 mM MgCl2, sonicated for 15 min and incubated at 95 ºC for 20 min. 2 μg RNase A/T1 mix (2 mg/mL of RNase A and 5000 U/mL of RNase T1) was added to cooled samples, and incubated for 4 h at 37 ºC followed by a second protease digestion using 1 μg trypsin (Promega) overnight at 37 ºC. Digested samples were desalted with Oligo R3 as described in the “proteomics sample preparation” section and dried on speedvac (Labconco).
Digests were re-suspended in 30-40 μL of 80% acetonitrile (ACN)/2% TFA containing 1 μg of TiO2 beads (GL Sciences). The slurry was transferred into a p200 tip containing a C8 “plug” (3M Empore, Sigma-Aldrich) to retain the loaded TiO2 beads and the flow-through collected. The packed TiO2 was washed with 20 μL 80% ACN/2% TFA, then 20 μL 10% ACN/0.1% TFA and the flow-through from both retained. The TiO2-enriched fraction was eluted from the beads with two rounds of 20 μL of ammonia solution (1.5-1.8%), pH>10.5, and 20 μL of 50% ACN.

Diallyl trisulfide (DATS, purity > 98%) was procured from LKT Laboratories (St. Paul, MN, USA), and RNase A was sourced from Promega (Madison, WI, USA). Cyclin B1, Cdk1, pERK1/2, ERK1 antibodies were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA); the anti-beta actin antibody was purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA); and the antibody against cleaved poly-(ADP-ribose)-polymerase (c-PARP), cleaved caspase-3, pAkt (Ser 473), Akt, γH2AX (Ser 139), were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA). UMSCC-22A, UMSCC-22B, and Cal33 cells were a generous gift from Prof. Daniel E. Johnson (University of California, San Francisco, CA, USA). HNSCC cells were grown in DMEM and supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 µg/mL streptomycin, and 100 units/mL penicillin under standard culture conditions. Stock solution of DATS was prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).

To assess DNA fragmentation, MN9D cells were treated with 100 μM 6-OHDA for 18 h. Soluble DNA was harvested by lysing cells for 30 min at 50 °C in buffer consisting of 0.5% Triton X-100, 5 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 20 mM EDTA, and 20 μg/mL proteinase K. Following microcentrifugation at 13,000 g at 4 °C for 15 min, DNA in the supernatant was extracted with phenol/chloroform and ethanol precipitated. DNA precipitates were dissolved in an appropriate amount of double-distilled H2O and incubated with 4 mg/mL RNase A (Promega) for 1 h at 37 °C. Purified DNA (30 μg) was electrophoresed on 1.5% agarose gels and stained with ethidium bromide. Intercalated DNA bands were viewed on a UV transilluminator using a Molecular Imager Gel Dox XR system (Bio-Rad).

Measuring Cell Proliferation and Cytotoxicity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For measuring cellular proliferation, cells were seeded at 100000 cells per well in 6-well plates and counted using a hemocytometer 4 days later. The values of doubling times were obtained applying the exponential growth formula and further used for calculation of doublings per day as previously reported.21 (link) To measure cytotoxicity, trypan blue (Sigma)-positive cells were counted. For cell cycle analysis, cells were harvested and fixed with 70% ethanol overnight at 4°C. The following day the cells were washed twice with PBS and incubated with 40 µg/mL propidium iodide solution (Sigma) containing 100 µg/mL RNase A (Promega) for 30 minutes at 37°C. The cell cycle phase was determined by flow cytometry (LSR-Fortessa, BD Biosystems) and analyzed using FlowJo software.

Apoptosis and Cell Cycle Analysis in Bladder Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The bladder cancer cells transfected with pcDNA-CASC2 or empty vector were harvested for 48 h for cell apoptosis and cell cycle analysis. The cell apoptosis was determined by the Annexin V-FITC apoptosis kit (Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Company, St Louis MO, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The Annexin V-FITC and PI fluorescence levels were measured by flow cytometry (BD Biosciences, FACS Calibur). The Annexin V-positive cells (both PI-negative and -positive) were defined as apoptotic cells. For the cell cycle analysis, cells were collected and fixed with 70 % pre-cooling anhydrous ethanol at −20 °C overnight and incubated with propidium iodide (PI) dye liquor (Sigma) in the presence of Rnase A (Promega) for 30 min at room temperature. The cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry (FACSCalibur, BD Biosciences).

First, 40 mL of BCBL-1 cell culture supernatant was spun at 1000 g at 4°C for 10 min to pellet cells and large debris. Second, samples were transferred to clean, 50 mL conical tubes and spun at 16,000 g at 4°C for 30 min to remove larger vesicles such as apoptotic bodies. Third, clarified cell supernatant was passed through a 0.22 µm Nalgene Rapid Flow Filter as above. The clarified solution was placed into disposable plastic tubes and into the Beckman Optima LE-80K Ultracentrifuge using the SW32-TI rotor at 100,000 g for 60 min at 4°C at < 20μ. Excess fluid was aspirated, the pellet was washed with 5 mL of 1X PBS and spun again at 100,000 g for 60 min at 4°C at < 20μ. The first UC pellet was resuspended in 250 μL of PBS, and the solution was then incubated with RNaseA (Promega, P: A7973) at a final concentration of 50 µg/mL at 37°C for 30 min. The solution was then diluted to 5 mL and spun as before two more times (three total UC steps). The final pellet was resuspended in 50 µL of 1X PBS, yielding a concentration factor of ~ 800-fold (0.05 µL/40 ml).

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.
