JA Content Analysis in Arabidopsis WRKY13 Overexpression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To analyze the JA content in TaWRKY13-A-OE and Col-0 Arabidopsis plants, fifth and sixth leaves of 4-week-old and 5-week-old Arabidopsis were selected for liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay. A total amount of 200 mg leaves of the above plants were grounded and incubated with methanol for 24 h. By using the Oasis Max solid-phase extraction cartridge, all samples were purified. The JA content was measured using the ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) system (Waters) (Agilent Technologies Inc, California, USA) and QTRAP 6500 system (AB SCIEX, Framingham, MA, USA). The measurement of each sample was repeated in three biological replicates, and 2H5-JA was used as the internal reference. The JA content of each sample was finally examined by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) (Waters) and QTRAP 6500 system (AB SCIEX).

For the detection of amoxicillin, 200 μL of blood serum was spiked with 10 μL amoxicillin-d4 (50 μg/L serum) as internal standard, filled up to 1 mL with water/acetonitrile (90:10, vol/vol), vortexed, sonicated, and filtered using a 0.45 μm Phenex-RC membrane filter. The filtrates were directly analyzed using an Agilent 1260 Infinity LC coupled to a Sciex QTRAP-6500 system. Chromatographic separation was performed by injecting a 10 μL filtrate onto a Thermo Hypersil Gold column (150 × 2.1 mm, 3 μm). Within 10 minutes, the analysis was complete using the positive Electrospray ionization mode and the following transitions of multiple reaction monitoring: amoxicillin m/z 366 → 208 and m/z 366 → 349, amoxicilloic acid m/z 384 → 323 and m/z 384 → 367, amoxicillin diketopiperazine m/z 366 → 114 and m/z 366 → 160, amoxicillin-d4 m/z 370 → 212, and m/z 370 → 353. Method validation, which was carried out according to Commission Decision 2002/657/EC, showed linearity in the range of 2.5–80 μg/L, good reproducibility (<26%), and mean recoveries (103–116%) of 10 μg/L. The decision limits CCα, and the detection capabilities, were within the range of 5.3–6.2 and 7.8–11.7 μg/L.

Serum samples from participants were immediately frozen at −80°C, then thawed once and immediately used for isolation of oxylipins. Aliquots of 100 μl were spiked with 200 μl of oxidized oxylipin extract, vortexed and the protein was precipitated. The solution was then spiked with 20 μl of 1 μM internal standard mixture. The oxylipins in the supernatants were extracted using Poly-Sery MAX SPE columns L (ANPE, Shanghai, China). Prior to analysis, the eluent was dried under vacuum and redissolved for UPLC-MS/MS analysis.
The sample extracts were analysed using a LC–electrospray inoization–MS/MS system (UPLC: ExionLC AD, Sciex, USA; MS: QTRAP 6500+ system, Sciex, USA). Linear ion trap and triple quadrupole scans were acquired on a triple quadrupole-linear ion trap mass spectrometer (QTRAP 6500+ LC-MS/MS system). Eicosanoids were analysed using scheduled multiple reaction monitoring. Data acquisition was performed using Analyst 1.6.3 software (Sciex), and multiquant software (Sciex) was used to quantify all oxylipins [22 (link), 23 (link)] (Supplementary Methods, available at Rheumatology online).

In total, 150 μl of supernatant was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS; UPLC, ExionLC AD; MS, QTRAP 6500 + System, Sciex). All chemicals used, including methanol (Merck), acetonitrile (Merck), formic acid (Aladdin), and standards (BioBioPha/Sigma-Aldrich), were chromatographically pure. Analyst v1.6.3 was used to analyze mass spectrometry data, in a qualitative analysis of the metabolites according to the retention time of the detected substance and secondary spectral data based on the MetWare database.
Each metabolite was subjected to a two-tailed unpaired t-test assuming unequal variances and using the q-value package (for total metabolites) to correct for false discovery.

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.
