Plasma Adipokine Levels Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasma adipokine levels were analyzed twice for each sample using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) as described previously [12 (link), 13 (link)]. The adiponectin ELISA assay (catalogue: DRP300, R&D Systems) detection limit was 0.891 ng/ml, and the assay range was 3.9-250 pg/ml. The resistin assay (catalogue: DRSN00, R&D Systems) detection limit was 0.055 ng/ml, and the assay range was 0.2-10 ng/ml. The FABP4 assay (catalogue: DFBP40, R&D Systems) detection limit was 14.2 ng/ml, and the assay range was 62.5-4,000 ng/ml. The visfatin assay (catalogue: K4907, BioVision, Inc., Minneapolis, MN) detection limit was 1.65 pg/ml, and the assay range was 6-400 pg/ml. All ELISA experiments were conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions as described previously [14 (link)–16 (link)].

Biomarker Levels in AML Patients

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To estimate the status of adipogenesis and osteogenesis in samples derived from AML patients, secreted levels of the biomarkers human fatty-acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4; R&D Systems, cat. #DFBP40) and human osteocalcin (R&D Systems, cat. #DSTCNO) were measured in originally collected, frozen and thawed BM plasma (BMP) samples, obtained from HDs and AML patients at diagnosis. The sensitivity of the ELISA kits was 38 pg/mL for FABP4 and 0.898 ng/mL for osteocalcin.

Adipogenic FABP4 Protein Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein was collected from primary fibroblasts following 14 days of incubation in the adipogenic cocktail as described above. Briefly, 50 µL of RIPA buffer (ThermoFisher Scientific, catalogue # 89900) was added to each well for 5 min. Cells were collected after scraping with a cell scraper and immediately frozen at −80°C until analysis for FABP4 protein via ELISA (R&D Systems, catalogue # DFBP40). A Bradford protein assay was used to assess protein concentration of each sample.

Quantification of FABP4 in Plasma, SF, and Adipose Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In the first study, plasma FABP4 was determined with an ELISA commercial kit (DFBP40, RandD Systems, MN, USA) according to the manual book provided. Intra-assay and interassay coefficients of variation were 4.6 and 12.1%, respectively. Plasma underwent 20fold dilution before analysis. In the second study, the FABP4 concentration of plasma, SF and culture medium of ScAT and IPFP was determined with another FABP4 quantitative ELISA kit made by our own institution (31030, Antibody and Immunoassay Services, HKU). Intra-assay and interassay coefficients of variation were less than 4.1 and4.5%, respectively. Specifically, SF after thawed was pretreated with 2mg/ml hyaluronidase (H3506, Sigma) at room temperature for 1h on a shaker. Plasma, SF and culture medium of ScAT and IPFP underwent threefold dilution, tenfold dilution and 400-fold dilution before analysis, respectively. The FABP4 concentration from adipose tissues was adjusted by the weight of seeded tissue, and the mean value of three wells from same tissue was calculated. The coefficient of variation (CV) was calculated, defined as the ratio of standard deviation (SD) divided by mean of the values of three wells. If CV>15%, data were considered as largely variable and therefore were not included in the statistical analysis.

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.
