Metabolomic Analysis of Tryptophan-Treated Worms

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
L1 worms were grown on wars-1 RNAi or the control RNAi (HT115). To treat worms with a high concentration of Trp, the L4 stage worms grown on HT115 bacteria were transferred to NGM plates supplemented with 100 mM L-tryptophan (ab146400, Abcam). After 24 h of exposure, adult worms were collected from the plates and were washed 3 times with M9. Worms were then lysed using 200 mg of 180 µm glass beads (G1152, Sigma-Aldrich) and a bead-beating apparatus (BEAD MILL 4, Fisher Scientific) in 250 µl of water. Bead-beating was done six times, with each round lasting 30 s at maximum speed (5 m/s), with 20-second intervals on ice. To extract the metabolites, 700 µl of acetonitrile (34851, Honeywell) was added to each tube to have the final acetonitrile concentration of 70%. The bead-beating process was repeated six times, each lasting 30 s at maximum speed (5 m/s). Samples were then transferred to fresh 2 ml tubes and centrifuged at 21,000 g for 10 min at 10 degrees Celsius to pellet protein. The clear supernatants, which contain metabolites, were isolated. The protein pellets were used to measure the protein content using the Bradford assay, which was later used to normalize the metabolomics data.

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.
