Fatty aldehydes were extracted and derivatized according to the previous reported method [32 (link)]. In brief, the pork sample was homogenized in ice-cold methanol containing a proper concentration of DMAQ-13C/15N-aldehydes. The supernatant was collected by centrifugation. Twenty microliters of meat extract and 20 μL of 5 mM DMAQ-12C/14N solution was added into 60 μL of the mixture of methanol and water (1:1, υ:υ) containing 0.1% formic acid. The reaction mixture was incubated at 20 °C for 15 min, and then concentrated under vacuo and reconstructed in 1 mL of acetonitrile. Aldehydes analyses were performed using an ACQUITYTM UPLC equipped with a 6500 QTRAP Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer (SCIEX, Framingham, MA, USA). Chromatograph separation was achieved via ACQUITYTM Premier BEH C18 column (2.1 × 150 mm, 1.7 μm particle size and 130 Å pore size). Mobile phase A and B were deionized water and acetonitrile, respectively. Both contained 0.1% formic acid. Gradient elution (t = 0 min, 25% B; t = 2 min, 28% B; t = 5 min, 60% B; t = 8 min, 100% B: t = 11 min, 100% B; t = 11.1 min, 25% B; t = 12 min, 25% B) was carried out at 300 μL/min. The column temperature was set at 45 °C. The MS parameters were set as follows: IS voltage of 5.5 kV, turbo source gun temperature of 450 °C and CUR of 30 psi.

Tissue samples were added to 500 µL of precooled MeOH/H2O (3/1, v/v). They were then homogenized for 4 min at 40 Hz and sonicated for 10 min in an ice water bath. Homogenization and sonication cycles were repeated three times, followed by incubation at −40 °C for 1 h and centrifugation at 12000 rpm and 4 °C for 15 min. The supernatants (400 µL) were collected and dried. Then, 250 µL of water was added to the dried residue to create a reconstituted solution. The reconstituted samples were vortexed before filtration through a filter membrane, and subsequently transferred to inserts in injection vials for HPIC‐MS/MS analysis. HPIC separation was performed using a Thermo Scientific Dionex ICS‐6000 HPIC System (Thermo Scientific) equipped with Dionex IonPac AS11‐HC (2× 250 mm) and AG11‐HC (2 mm×50 mm) columns.

Cells were starved of arginine or leucine for the indicated time points as described previously. All conditions received fresh media with fresh dialyzed FBS at each time point. Cells were then washed once with ice-cold PBS on ice, then flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, and placed on dry ice. Cells were stored at −80 °C. 1.5 ml of 80% methanol was added to each 6 cm plate and cells were incubated at −80 °C for 1 h. Plates were scraped for cell harvesting and centrifuged at 4 °C. The supernatant was speed vac dried, and the metabolites were resuspended in 20 ml of LC/MS grade water and 5 ml were injected via targeted LC-MS/MS performed using a 6500 QTRAP triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (AB/SCIEX) coupled to a Prominence UFLC HPLC system (Shimadzu) with Amide HILIC chromatography (Waters).

Biological triplicate 10 cm2 dishes were used to cultivate NRK-49F cells in full culture medium. Metabolites were extracted using 1 mL of ice-cold 80% methanol on dry ice. Subsequently, the samples were centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 5 min. To ensure thorough extraction, the cell pellets were subjected to an additional extraction with 0.5 mL of 80% methanol. For accurate protein quantitation, the cell pellets were dissolved in an 8 M urea solution. The supernatant obtained from the metabolite extraction was desiccated into a pellet using SpeedVac from Eppendorf (Hamburg, Germany), using a heat-free technique. Before analysis, the dried pellets were re-suspended in 20 μL of HPLC-grade water in preparation for mass spectrometry, as described before [31 (link)]. A volume of 5–7 μL of the resulting resuspension was injected and subjected to analysis using a cutting-edge hybrid 6500 QTRAP triple quadrupole mass spectrometer from AB/SCIEX (Framingham, MA, USA), which was coupled to a Prominence UFLC HPLC system from Shimadzu (Kyoto, Japan). The analysis was carried out through selected reaction monitoring (SRM), targeting a comprehensive set of 298 endogenous water-soluble metabolites, enabling a thorough examination of the steady-state characteristics of the samples. The data have been deposited to MetaboLights (MTBLS8281) [32 (link)].

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.
