Albumin was measured using a sandwich-based enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA, Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX) with horseradish peroxidase detection and 3,3’5,5’-tetramethylbenzidine substrate (TMB, Rockland Immunochemicals, Boyertown, PA). Urea concentration was measured from collected supernatants using diacetyl monoxime with acid and heat (Stanbio Labs, Boerne, TX).[48 (link)] Absorbance of samples was read on the Synergy H1 multimode plate reader (Biotech, Winooski, VT).
CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 enzyme activities were measured after the incubation of cultures for 1 hour with luciferin-IPA (Promega Life Sciences, Madison, WI) or for 3 hours with luciferin-H (Promega), respectively, followed by the processing of collected supernatants per the manufacturer’s recommendations; luminescence was quantified with the Synergy H1 multimode reader. CYP1A2 and CYP2A6 enzymatic activities were measured by incubating cultures for 1 hour with 50 µM coumarin (Sigma-Aldrich) or for 3 hours with 5 µM 7-ethoxyresorufin (Sigma-Aldrich), respectively. The CYP2A6-generated metabolite, 7-hydroxycoumarin (7-HC), and CYP1A2-generated metabolite, resorufin, in culture supernatants were quantified using fluorescence measurements (excitation/emission 355/460 nm for 7-HC and 550/585 nm for resorufin) on the Synergy H1 multimode reader.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We determined region-specific (EPI vs NON-EPI) 7-ethoxy-resorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity by adding the CYP substrate 7-ethoxy-xyresorufin (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) in phosphate buffer (50 mM NaHPO4 with pH 8.0). 7-Ethoxyresorufin stock solutions of 2 mM in dimethyl sulfoxide were prepared. In a reaction mixture, 20 μ1 of 7-ethoxyresorufin was added to 100 μg of isolated protein and phosphate buffer. The reaction time was kept constant for 3 minutes (incubation) at room temperature (based on the threshold and conversion time-noted in the EPI tissue fractions, Supplemental Fig. 1c) and later compared with the corresponding NON-EPI tissue of the brain. The method was standardized in the tissue homogenates as described earlier [20 (link)] and the resorufin concentration curve (Supplemental Fig. 1b) with the reaction time (Supplemental Fig. 1c) were calibrated and standardized. The fluorescent product formed was analyzed at excitation of 530 nm and emission of 590 nm in multimode reader (Synergy HT, BIO-TEK instruments, USA). The concentration of fluorescent product formed was analyzed by resorufin standard (Supplemental Fig. 1b) and final concentration was determined in concentration of resorufin/mg of protein [20 (link)].

Fluorescence-based CYP1A Induction Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The induction of CYP1A is measured by the EROD-assay in the presence of NADPH (β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). CYP1A converts the artificial substrate EROD to resorufin, which can be measured via fluorescence spectroscopy. The assay was done as described in [27 (link)] with minor modifications. Briefly, the cells were seeded in black 96 well plates (100,000 cells/cm2) and incubated for 24 h in culture medium. The cells were then incubated with the CYP1A inducer, beta-naphtaflavone (BNF; 1–100 nM; Sigma-Aldrich) for 24 h. The next day, the culture medium was replaced with 200 µL EROD assay media (DMEM w/o phenol red; Gibco™, Thermo Fisher, 10% FBS, 8 µM 7-Ethoxyresorufin; Sigma-Aldrich). After 30 min of incubation, resorufin fluorescence (Ex: 530 nm/Em: 580 nm) was quantified using a plate reader (Spectramax i3x plate reader, San Jose, CA, USA).

V79 Chinese hamster fibroblast cells were grown in a flat-bottom, 96-well plate for 2 days as described previously59 (link). 1-(1-Propynyl)-pyrene (1-PP) (synthesized by Prof. A. Seidel, Biochemical Institute for Environmental Carcinogens, Großhansdorf) in DMSO was serially diluted in culture medium to final concentrations of 0.1 nM to 10 μM. CYP activity was measured in V79 cell lines with cDNA-directed expression of human CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP1B1. Cells were pre-incubated with 1-PP, a mechanism-based (suicide) inhibitor for CYP1A136 (link)60 (link), for 30 min at 37 °C and rinsed with PBS. Then, 100 μl 1 μM 7-ethoxyresorufin (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) solved in sodium phosphate buffer (pH 8) was added at 37 °C for 15 min14 (link). The reaction was stopped with ice-cold methanol, and the resorufin thus formed was quantified with excitation/emission wavelengths of 544/590 nm. The percentage of inhibition was determined relative to a medium-only control, and the IC50 was estimated from the plots.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CYP1A1 enzymatic activity was measured in mouse tail epidermal sheet biopsies and in vitro skewed Th17 cells by the EROD assay, in which the 7-ethoxyresorufin (Sigma-Aldrich) is converted to resorufin (Sigma-Aldrich). Tail mouse skin was processed by the mechanical removal of subcutaneous fat tissue and floated on 0.5% w/v trypsin (Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 hour at 37 °C. Epidermal sheets were mechanically separated, and quadruplicate from each epidermal sheet was transferred to a 96-wells plate. EROD reaction was initiated by adding 2 μM 7-ethoxyresorufin in sodium phosphate buffer (50 mM, PH 8.0) to each well. The plate was incubated at 37 oC for 20 minutes, the reaction was stopped by adding fluorescamine (150 μg/ml in acetonitrile), and epidermal sheets biopsies were discarded. resorufin formation was measured against a resorufin standard curve on a plate reader (FLUOstar Omega, BMG LabTech, Ortenberg, Germany) with excitation and emission wavelengths of 535 and 590, respectively. CYP1A1 enzymatic activity was normalized for the skin protein content simultaneously determined by fluorescamine fluorescence of a standard curve of BSA (Sigma-Aldrich) at excitation and emission wavelengths of 390 and 480, respectively. In vitro skewed Th17 cells were assayed similarly, and CYP1A1 enzymatic activity was normalized to the IL-17 secreted in each well.

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.
