Measurements of 12C/13C-toxin- and mock-treated samples were performed with an UltiMate 3000 HPLC system combined with an Exactive Plus Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany). Chromatographic settings were as follows: column Kinetex C18 (150 × 2.1 mm, 2.6 μm; Phenomenex, Aschaffenburg, Germany); column temperature 25 °C; eluents 0.1% formic acid and 5 mM ammonium formate in water (eluent A) and in methanol (eluent B); flow rate 250 μL/min. Injection volume was set to 10 μL and Gradient method 1 (30 min gradient, from 10% to 100% B plus re-equilibration) was used as described in [32 (link)]. Orbitrap measurements were performed in positive and negative electrospray ionisation mode separately with a scan range from m/z 130 to 1300. All other mass spectrometric settings were concordant with those of Kluger et al. [25 (link)]. Data were acquired and evaluated with Thermo Xcalibur 4.0.27.10 and 2.2 software (both Thermo Fisher Scientific), respectively.

Plasma metabolites were profiled at the Broad Institute (Cambridge, MA) using untargeted liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry methods as described previously (25 (link)). Briefly, two methods were applied for the measurement of circulating metabolites: 1) amines and polar metabolites that ionize in the positive ion mode were measured using an liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) platform comprised of an Open Accela 1250 U-HPLC coupled with a Q Exactive hybrid quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scinetific; Waltham, MA); 2) polar and non-polar lipids were measured using an LC-MS platform comprised of a Shimazu Nexera X2 U-HPLC coupled to an Exactive Plus orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Waltham, MA). We dropped unknown metabolites, metabolites with coefficient of variation (CV) higher than 25% or intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) less than 0.4 as indicators of interassay reproducibility and within-person reproducibility, metabolites with undetectable levels in >10% of participants, and metabolites that could not be reasonably reproducible in samples with delayed processing in previous pilot tests (25 (link),26 (link)). Metabolite values below the detection limit were assigned a half value of detection limit.

Metabolite profiling was performed on mouse liver and brain tissue samples that were harvested from mice subjected to for five weeks to 0, 0.1, 0.4, 2.25 ppm Se diets. Tissue metabolites were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) with high resolution accurate mass profiling. All data were acquired using LC-MS systems comprised of a Nexera X2 U-HPLC (Shimadzu, Marlborough, MA) coupled to either a Q Exactive or Exactive Plus orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Waltham, MA) (Avanesov et al., 2014 (link); Ma et al., 2015 (link)). Raw data from the three nontargeted methods were processed using Progenesis QI software (NonLinear Dynamics) for feature alignment, nontargeted signal detection, and signal integration. Targeted processing of a subset of known metabolites was conducted using TraceFinder 3.3 software (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Compound identities were confirmed using reference standards and reference samples.

UHPLC-HRMS Analysis of Polar Phenolics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As previously reported [53 (link)], serum samples were analyzed with UHPLC–HRMS. A binary solvent system consisting of (A) 0.1% formic acid (HCOOH) in acetonitrile (CH3CN) and (B) 0.1% v/v HCOOH was used for chromatographic analysis of polar phenolics, along with an Accucore™ column (C18, 150 × 2.1 mm, 2.6 μm, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Gradient elution began with 5% of solvent B for 1.1 min, followed by a rapid increase to 25% in 1.1 min, which then remained isocratic for an additional 1.1 min. After 0.6 min, the concentration of B was raised to 40% and remained at this level for 2.6 min. In the next 3 min, the concentration of B increased to 95%. The initial conditions were then restored in 0.4 min and maintained for 5.6 min for column equilibration, which resulted in a total run time of 18 min; the injection volume was 5 μL. HRMS data were acquired with an Exactive Plus™ Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany), which operated in negative heated electrospray ionization mode (H-ESI). Thermo XCalibur 4.0 was used to handle acquisition, while quantitative results were obtained with TraceFinder™ 4.1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, CA, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were plated in 6‐well plates at 2 × 106 cells per well in standard medium. For 5‐FU metabolites measurement, cells were cultured in medium containing 10 μg/mL 5‐FU for 24 hours. For PRPP measurement, cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 and incubated with [U‐13C6]‐d‐glucose for 5 minutes. At the end of incubations, cells were rapidly washed two times with cold PBS and extracted with ice‐cold extraction solution composed of 80% Methanol in water (1000 μL/2 × 106 cells). The lysates were vortexed for 10 minutes at 4°C and immediately centrifuged at 15 000 rpm for 15 minutes at 4°C. The supernatants were collected and analyzed by LC‐MS.
For the LC separation, a ZIC‐pHILIC (150 × 2.1 mm, SeQuant, Darmstadt, Germany) with a guard column (20 × 2.1 mm, SeQuant, Darmstadt, Germany) was used. The mobile phase A was 20 mmol/L ammonium carbonate plus 0.1% ammonia hydroxide in water and mobile phase B was acetonitrile. The flow rate was 200 μL/mL and gradient as follows: 0 minutes 80% of B to 25 minutes 20% of B and the column was then re‐equilibrated until 32 minutes at 80% of B. The Exactive Plus Orbitrap mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was operated in a polarity switching mode.

HPLC
was carried out using an Agilent 1260 system with a DAD detector,
equipped with a SILGREEN C18 column (4.6 × 250 mm2, 5 μm). The sample volumes of 50 μL were injected and
a flow rate of 1 mL/min was set. The reaction mixtures were separated
using a gradient of HPLC grade water (solvent A) and HPLC grade acetonitrile
(solvent B) as the mobile phase according to the following eluting
program: 0–35 min, linear gradient from 5 to 50% B (v/v); 35–36
min, linear gradient from 50 to 100% B (v/v); 36–40min, held
at 100% B (v/v); 40–42, 100 to 5% B (v/v); and 42–45
min, kept at 5% B (v/v). C18 column was kept at ambient temperature,
and the peaks were detected at a wavelength of 265 nm.
Hydroxylated
products of genistein collected from the C18 column were injected
into a Thermo Exactive Plus Orbitrap mass spectrometer for high-resolution
mass spectrometry (HR-MS) measurement. An ESI source was employed
in a positive ionization mode. Full MS scans were acquired over the
range of m/z 100–1500.
NMR spectra were
recorded on a Bruker 600 MHz AVANCE III system,
as introduced in our previous reports.37 (link)−39 (link) Briefly, the samples
were run in deuterated methanol (CD3OD) at 25 °C. Chemical shifts
were recorded in δ (ppm) with the residual methyl signals in
CD3OD as the references. The NMR assignments of hydroxygenisteins
were based on 1H and 13C chemical shifts.

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.
