Purified iPSC-CMs were digested as described in “Digestion of iPSC-CMs” section and cultured in maturation medium for 3 to 7 days. The maturation medium contained glucose free DMEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 10 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid) HEPES (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 2 mM l-carnitine inner salt (Sigma-Aldrich), 5 mM creatine (Sigma-Aldrich), 5 mM taurine (Sigma-Aldrich), 1 mM nonessential amino acid (Thermo Fisher Scientific), insulin-transferrin-selenium (Thermo Fisher Scientific), linoleic-oleic acid (Sigma-Aldrich), and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Table 1). iPSC-CMs cultured in maturation medium for 3 to 7 days were used for analysis of bioenergetics and immunostaining, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and Western blot, respectively, as described below.

Quantification of Fatty Acid Oxidation in Intestinal Crypts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The FAO activity was determined by quantifying the radioactivity of final product generated from 3H-palmitate β-oxidation. Crypts were seeded in 24-well plates and treated with DMSO or 50 μM CA or 50 μM CA combined with 100 μM WY14643 for 6 days. Then the culture medium was changed to basic medium containing [9,10-3H]- palmitic acid (PerkinElmer, Inc.), L-carnitine inner salt (Sigma-Aldrich) and Na-palmitate (Sigma-Aldrich). After incubation for 4 h at 37 °C, 300 μL culture medium was collected and mixed with 1 mL activated charcoal to absorb remaining [9,10-3H]-palmitic acid. After shaking for 30 min, the mixture was centrifuged and 300 μL supernatant was collected and mixed with 1 mL of scintillation cocktail (China Isotope & Radiation Corp.). The radioactivity was then determined by scintillation counter (2450 Microplate Counter, PerkinElmer, Inc.).

Dose-dependent zebrafish embryo toxicity assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For dosage analyses, L-tyrosine disodium salt hydrate (T1145, Sigma), taurine (T0625, Sigma), L-carnitine inner salt (C0158, Sigma), and creatine monohydrate (C3630, Sigma) were all dissolved in water at a concentration of 250 mM and diluted appropriately to ensure that 1 ml of each chemical was added to 24 ml of embryo medium in a 90 cm petri dish. Thirty wildtype Tübingen embryos aged 28 h post fertilization (hpf) were dechorionated and placed in the petri dish. For control treatments, 1 ml of water alone was added to 24 ml of embryo medium. Zebrafish were treated from 28 hpf until 6 dpf. Treatments were changed daily and zebrafish were monitored for survival, heart rate, and swimming performance as indicators of toxicity. Four independent treatments were performed for tyrosine and three independent treatments were performed for taurine, L-carnitine, and creatine. The resting heart rates were measured at 2 dpf by counting the number of heart beats in 10 s. Heart rate measurements were performed in triplicate with 10 fish per experiment. For heart rate and swimming assays all treatments were blinded and randomized to avoid experimental bias. Once the testing and analyses were completed the treatments groups were revealed.

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.
