Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cellulose acetate (CA) (Product Code: 419028, ~50 g/mol, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) and soy protein acid hydrolysate (SPAH) (Product Code: S1674, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) were used to manufacture the NGCs. Analytical grade acetone (Product Code: 270725 purity 99.9%, 58.08 g/mol, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) was used to dissolve the CA and SPAH.
Prior to use, the CA was sterilized in 0.5 g aliquots in 2 mL cryogenic tubes (Sorenson BioScience, Salt Lake City, UT, USA). Before use, the SPAH was subjected to ultraviolet radiation for 30 min inside the laminar flow cabinet of a vertical air blower (BBS-v800, Biobase, Tsinan, China).
The antisepsis of the work area was carried out with ethyl alcohol 70° (Pure Ethyl Alcohol, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA). The necessary instruments were as follows: anatomical forceps, scalpel handle No. 3, disposable scalpel blade No. 15, 1.4 mm diameter galvanized wire, 6 cm straight scissors, disposable sterile field cloths (square area of 0.25 m2) and sterile gauze (square area of 0.0016 m2). The asepsis of the instruments and aliquots of CA was carried out in a 12-L semiautomatic autoclave (Dabi-Atlante, Ribeirão Preto, Brazil).

Breast Tissue Proteome Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Minced breast tissues were grinded in liquid nitrogen with a mortar and pestle, lysed in 2% SDS-lysis buffer (pH 8.0) containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA), then sonicated for 3 min (5 sec on and 5 sec off, amplitude 25%). The lysate was centrifuged at 16,000g for 30 min, and the supernatant was collected as whole-tissue extract. Protein concentration was determined using the BCA protein assay (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
Each aliquot of 100 μg of breast proteins was diluted to 100 μl with 100 mM TEAB solution (Sigma-Aldrich, USA). Each sample was reduced with 10 mM TCEP for 30 min at 56 °C, followed by alkylation with 20 mM iodoacetamide for 30 min in the dark at room temperature. Then, proteins were precipitated overnight at -20 °C using analytical grade acetone (Sigma-Aldrich). The recovered proteins after pelleting by centrifugation at 8,000g for 5 min were resuspended with 100 μl 100 mM TEAB solution. Sequencing-grade rLys-C (Promega, USA) was added to a final protease:protein ratio of 1:100 (w/w) and incubated for 3 h at 37°C. Samples were then digested by sequencing-grade modified trypsin (Promega) at ratio of 1:50 (w/w) for 16 h at 37°C. Peptides were collected by centrifugation at 16,000 g for 20 min.

Analytical standards of BP-8, BP-1, BP-3 and 4-OH-BP; MSTFA and β-glucuronidase enzyme were provided from Sigma Aldridge (St. Louis, MO, USA). Analytical grade acetone, methanol and trichloromethane as dispersing and extraction solvents were purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). Stock solutions of the target compounds were prepared in methanol and stored in a dark vial at 4 °C until use. For preparing working standard solutions, the stock solution was diluted in synthetic urine and used for GC/MS calibration. An Agilent technology GC/ triple quadrupole MS was used for the quantification of the BP metabolites.

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.
