Glutamine isotope tracing under normoxia or hypoxia involved SK-N-BE(2) and NB16 cells being pretreated with DMSO or 1 μM NEN for 3 h. Next, the culture medium was changed to DMEM/F-12 without glutamine (Gibco; 21331020) or supplemented with 4 mM U-13C-glutamine (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories; CLM-1822-H) or 10% dialyzed FBS (Gibco; 26400044) under normoxia or hypoxia for 2 h. Data are presented as mean ± SD across three biological replicates.

For metabolic flux analyses, stable isotope-labelled compounds [1,2-13C]- glucose (CLM-504–0.5), [U-13C]-glucose (CLM-1396–0.5), [U-13C]-glutamine (DLM-1150–0.5), [2-2H]-glucose (DLM-1271–0.5), [3-2H]-glucose (DLM-9294-PK), [4-2H]-glucose (CLM-1822-H-0.25) were obtained from Cambridge Isotope Laboratories (Cambridge, MA) and [1-2H]-glucose was obtained from Omicron Biochemicals (South Bend IN, Cat No GLC-034). For stable isotope tracing in hepatocytes, the culture medium was replaced with glucose-free medium supplemented with 10mM 13C-labelled or 2H-labelled glucose or glutamine-free medium supplemented with 2 mM 13C-labelled L-glutamine. Metabolites of stable isotope-labelled compounds were tracked through the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, glycolysis, and the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) 28 (link). Percent enrichment of labelled metabolites was compared between cells cultured with and without stable isotopes.

Metabolomics and 13C Flux Analysis of Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Metabolomics profiling and 13C metabolic flux analysis were performed at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Mass Spectrometry Facility. Briefly, polar metabolites were collected by methanol-based extraction as previously described52 (link). Samples were re-suspended using HPLC grade water for mass spectrometry and analyzed using a 5500 QTRAP hybrid triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (AB/SCIEX) coupled to a Prominence UFLC HPLC system 52 (link). A total of 284 endogenous water-soluble metabolites were analyzed. For 13C metabolic flux analysis, macrophages were incubated for at least 4h with DMEM (without glucose, glutamine and pyruvate, Thermo) supplemented with 10% dialyzed FBS (Thermo), glucose (25 mM, Thermo) and [U-13C]-glutamine (2mM, Cambridge Isotope Laboratories). Polar metabolites were extracted as described above and analyzed as previously described53 (link). Statistical analysis was performed using MetaboAnalyst (http://www.metaboanalyst.ca, free online software).

shCTRL or shPCK1 LS174T cells were plated at 3 × 105 cells per well in a 6-well plate and allowed to adhere to the plate for 24 hr. Cells were then pre-treated with RPMI-1640 media containing 6 mM glucose at 0.5% O2 for 6 hr, then replaced with RPMI-1640 media containing 2 mM U-13C-glutamine (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, #CLM-1822-H) for 0–6 hr at 0.5% O2. Metabolites were extracted at 0, 2, 4, and 6 hr time points.

Isotopic Tracing of Cellular Metabolism

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated dialyzed FBS and containing either [U-13C]-glucose or [U-13C]-glutamine (Cambridge Isotopes Laboratories) in place of the corresponding unlabeled nutrient. Contribution of glucose or glutamine to total cellular carbon was measured after multiple passages in medium containing carbon-13. Contribution of glutamine to total cellular nitrogen was measured for cells grown in RPMI 1640 supplemented as above but containing [amide-15N]- or [α-15N]-glutamine (supplemented at 4% of total glutamine). Carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 enrichment (i.e. 13C:12C and 15N:14N) were measured by isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) (see Supplementary Experimental Procedures).

Isotopic Tracing of T Cell Metabolism

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
T cells were stimulated for 24 hours with immobilized anti-CD3 and anti-CD28. All labeling experiments were performed with 1 million cells/mL in RPMI. Glycose free or glutamine free media were replaced by their respective uniformly 13C-labeled analog (i.e. [U-13C]glucose or [U-13C]glutamine; Cambridge Isotope Laboratories). Cells were cultured for 24 hours and then pelleted, and lysed in cold 50% methanol. Analyses were performed at the CRI Metabolomics Core, UT Southwestern. Lysates underwent three freeze-thaw cycles, followed by centrifugation to remove debris. The supernatants were evaporated, methoximated and derivatized by tert-butyl dimethylsilylation. Derivatized material (1 mL) was injected onto an Agilent 6970 gas chromatograph equipped with a fused silica capillary GC column (30 m length, 0.25 mm diameter) and networked to either an Agilent 5973 or 5975 Mass Selective Detector. The measured distribution of mass isotopologues was corrected for natural abundance of 13C7 (link).

Metabolic Tracing with Stable Isotopes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For metabolic tracing studies 150,000-200,000 cells/well were seeded in 6-well plates overnight. Cells were washed three times and 5mM [U-13C]glucose or 4mM [U-13C]glutamine (Cambridge Isotopes Laboratories) containing DMEM (10% dialysed serum, no pyruvate) was applied. After 24h of culture, metabolites were extracted from cells or media (10μL) in 80% methanol in water containing 1μg/sample norvaline and dried under nitrogen gas. Polar metabolites were derivatized and measured as described previously (Lewis et al., 2014 (link)). Relative metabolite abundances were calculated by integrating ion peak area and normalized to norvaline and later to the cell numbers from identical plates. Mass isotopomer distributions of each ion peak were determined after natural abundance corrections adapted from Fernandez et al. (1996) (link).

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.
