Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Media samples at day 16 (2-days post-treatment) for cells treated with 0.001–0.1 μM bortezomib, and 0.01–1 μM tamoxifen as well as untreated control were shipped for analysis to Human Metabolome Technologies America, Inc. (HMT; Boston, MA, USA). For sample preparation, 40 μL of samples were mixed with 10 μL of Milli-Q water containing internal standards (1,000 μM). The mixture was then filtered through a 5 kDa cut-off filter (ULTRAFREE-MC-PLHCC, Human Metabolome Technologies, Yamagata, Japan) to remove macromolecules. Metabolome analysis was performed in samples of culture medium using Capillary Electrophoresis Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (CE-TOFMS) in two modes for cationic and anionic metabolites. On the basis of HMT's standard library, 65 metabolites (47 metabolites in Cation mode and 18 metabolites in Anion mode) were detected (dataset provided in Supplementary Materials).

Targeted quantitative analysis of 116 metabolites belonging to glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, urea cycle and polyamine, creatine, purine, glutathione, nicotinamide, choline and amino acid metabolisms was performed on fibroblasts using capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry (CE-TOFMS and CE-QqQMS) in the cation and anion analysis modes. The analysis was performed by Human Metabolome Technologies (HMT).
Briefly, 4.2–4.5 × 106 cells were collected, rinsed with mannitol (5%) and sent to HMT laboratories. The samples were mixed with 800 μl of methanol. Then, 550 μl of Milli-Q water containing internal standards (8 μm) was added, mixed thoroughly and centrifuged (2300g, 4°C, 5 min). The water layer (350 μl) was filtrated through 5-kDa cut-off filter (ULTRAFREE-MC-PLHCC, Human Metabolome Technologies, Yamagata, Japan) to remove macromolecules. The filtrate was centrifugally concentrated and resuspended in 50 μl of ultrapure water immediately before the measurement. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were performed by statistical analysis software (developed at HMT).
The pathway analysis was performed by the MetaboAnalyst tool (http://www.metaboanalyst.ca) (73 (link)).

Culture medium in Φ10 cm dishes was aspirated and cells were washed twice with 5% mannitol solution (10 mL followed by 2 mL). Cells were treated with 800 μL of methanol and left for 30 seconds to inactivate enzymes. The cell extract was then treated with 550 μL of Milli-Q water containing internal standards (H3304-1002; Human Metabolome Technologies, Tsuruoka, Japan) and left for another 30 seconds. The extract was centrifuged (2300 × g at 4°C for 5 minutes) and then 800 μL of the upper aqueous layer was centrifugally filtered (9100 × g at 4°C for 120 minutes) through a Millipore 5-kDa cutoff filter (UltrafreeMC-PLHCC, Human Metabolome Technologies) to remove macromolecules. The filtrate was centrifugally concentrated and re-suspended in 50 μL of ultrapure water. The obtained samples were sent to Human Metabolome Technologies for analysis by capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

Metabolomic analyses were done according to the method of Soga et al. by using capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry (CE/MS), as described previously [13 (link)]. Briefly, 1,000,000 PASMCs in a 6-cm dish were treated with si-RNA as described above, washed twice with ice cold 5% mannitol, and let stand for 10 min at room temperature in methanol containing L-methionine sulfone (25 μM, Alfa Aesar A17027), MES (25 μM, Dojindo 341–01622), and CSA (25 μM, Wako 037–01032). Then the cells were harvested with a cell scraper and 400 μL of supernatant was collected after vortexing for 30 seconds. After addition of CHCl3 (400 μl) and distilled water (200 μl) with thorough mixing, centrifugation was performed at 10,000 g for 3 minutes at 4°C. Next, the aqueous layer (400 μl) was transferred to an ultrafiltration tube (UltrafreeMC-PLHCC, Human Metabolome Technologies, UFC3LCCNB-HMT), followed by centrifugation at 9,100 g for 3 hours at 4°C. Finally, 320 μL of the filtrate was sent to the Institute for Advanced Biosciences at Keio University for further analyses.

Clam metabolites were extracted from 50 mg of soft tissue by addition of 1.5 mL of 50% acetonitrile solution (v/v) using a homogenizer in accordance with a previous study32 (link). The extract solution was centrifuged for 5 min at 2300 × g, 4 °C, and the supernatant was subjected to ultrafiltration.
Ultrafiltration was performed by using a centrifugal filter device (UltrafreeMC-PLHCC; Human Metabolome Technologies, Yamagata, Japan) with a regenerated cellulose membrane (molecular weight cutoff [MWCO], 5 kDa) and was carried out by using two centrifugal filter devices per sample. An aliquot of 400 μL of extract solution was subjected to ultrafiltration for 2 h at 9100 × g, 4 °C. The permeate fraction (MWCO <10 kDa) was then dried and suspended in 50 μL of Milli-Q water.

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.
