293T cells were seeded at 6 × 106 cells/100 mm dish and transfected on the following morning with 10 μg of plasmid DNA and Lipofectamine2000 (ThermoFisher) as per the manufacturer's protocol. After 24 h incubation, cells were washed with PBS and 1 mL lysis buffer (1% Triton X-100; 150 mM NaCl; 20 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.5; 0.1 mg/ml PMSF) and incubated 5 min on ice. Petri dishes were scraped, and protein lysis was completed by a couple up and down. Lysates were sonicated on ice at 25% amplitude, 5 s for four times. Debris were then pelleted at 13 000 RPM, 4°C for 10 min. Lysates were dosed for total protein in triplicate using standard Bradford assay (Thermo Scientific Coomassie Protein Assay). One milligram of lysate was DNAse and RNAse treated using 5 μg of DNAse I (Sigma) and 5 μg of RNAse A (Bio Basic), 10 min at room temperature. GFP-trap beads (Chromotek) were washed twice in lysis buffer; 20 μl were added per IP and IP reactions were completed at 1 mL with lysis buffer. IP was performed for 4 h at 4°C on a tube rotator. Tubes were then spinned at 2000 RPM, the supernatant was removed, and beads were washed three times with lysis buffer and twice with PBS. Immunoprecipitates were subjected to mass spectrometry preparation, or resuspended in 1× Laemmli buffer, boiled, and submitted to western blotting.

After treating U-87 MG cells with CAPs IC50 doses obtained from the MTT assay, the cells were incubated for 48 h and 72 h in the helium and argon gas plasma groups, respectively. The Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis detection kit (Bender MedSystems, Austria) was utilized to quantify early and late apoptosis of U-87 MG cells after CAP treatment, following the manufacturer's instructions. In brief, after treatment, cells were washed in PBS, then resuspended in 100 μl of binding buffer and stained with 5 μl FITC-conjugated Annexin-V for 15 min in darkness at room temperature. Subsequently, samples were washed, resuspended in 250 μl binding buffer, and incubated with 5 μl Propidium Iodide (PI) from Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA for 10 min. The results were analyzed using the BD FACSCalibur cytometer. Additionally, the DNA content was determined to quantify the G1, S, and G2/M phases of the cell cycle. For this purpose, following treatment, the cells were detached using 0.25% trypsin–EDTA (GIBCO, NY, USA). After detachment, the cells underwent PBS washes, followed by fixation with ice-cold 70% ethanol for 2 h. Subsequently, the cells were washed using PBS, treated with 50 μg/ml RNase A (Bio Basic, Canada) for 30 min, and then incubated with Propidium Iodide (PI; Sigma-Aldrich, USA). Flow cytometry analysis was carried out using the BD FACSCalibur cytometer.

Cells were washed in 2% FBS containing cold PBS, resuspended in PBS with 100 μg/mL RNase A (Bio Basic Inc., ON, Canada) for 30 min at 37 °C, and then stained with 10 μg/mL propidium iodide (PI; Sigma-Aldrich) for 15 min at room temperature in the dark.
To measure intracellular ROS levels, cells harvested by trypsin were stained with 5 μM carboxy-H2DCFDA in HBSS for 30 min in a CO2 incubator and washed twice with cold PBS. Flow cytometry was performed using a BD FACSCalibur (BD Biosciences, NJ, USA), analyzed with BD CellQuest Pro software (BD Biosciences), and then data was analyzed using Flowing software (v 2.5.1; http://www.uskonaskel.fi/flowingsoftware).

For isolation of genomic DNA, 400 μL of Soil DNA Extract buffer (100 mM NaCl, 50 mM EDTA, 0.25 M Tris-HCl, 5% SDS), 400 μL of 2×CTAB buffer (2% CTAB, 100 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 20 mM EDTA pH 8.0, 1.4 M NaCl, 1% polyvinyl pyrrolidone), and 500 μL phenol-chloroform-isoamylalcohol (25∶24∶1, Bioneer, Korea) were added to 0.1–0.5 g lyophilized or fresh mycelium and briefly vortexed. After 5 min of incubation at room temperature, samples were centrifuged at 13,000 rpm at 4°C, for 5 min. Supernatants were mixed with 0.7 volumes isopropanol and centrifuged for 10 min at 4°C. After washing with 70% ethanol, air dried samples were eluted in 50–100 μL TE and treated with RNase A (Bio Basic Inc, Canada) for 30 min at 60°C.

RNase 6 and RNase A (BioBasic, Canada) were labeled using the RED-NHS labeling kit (Nanotemper Technologies, Germany) in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocol. Unreacted dye was removed using the provided purification columns. Binding affinity assays between these labeled proteins and ligands 5’-AMP and d(ACACA) were performed in 20 mM MES (2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid) buffer, 150 mM NaCl, 20mM L-Arginine at pH 6.4, supplemented with 0.05% (v/v) Tween 20. A series of 16 1:1 dilutions (protein:ligand) were prepared to determine Kd values, using labeled proteins at a final concentration of 5 nM and ligands at concentrations ranging from 2 μM to 75 mM for 5’-AMP, and from 3 nM to 100 μM for d(ACACA). Samples were loaded into standard Monolith NT.115 capillaries and microscale thermophoresis was measured using a Monolith NT.115 Pico instrument (Nanotemper Technologies, Germany) at ambient temperature. Data of 3 independently pipetted experiments were analyzed with the MO.Affinity software, version 2.3 (Nanotemper Technologies, Germany) using MST-on time between 5 s and 10 s to determine Kd values.

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.
