4 × 105 MEF Cry1−/−Cry2−/− cells (gifted by Prof Hiroki R. Ueda, RIKEN, Japan) were seeded into 35 mm culture dishes (27 (link)). The cells were transfected with 4000 ng pGL3-Per2-dLuc (luciferase reporter), pMU2-P(CRY1)-(intron 336)-Cry1, and wild type or variant pMU2-P(CRY1)-(intron 336)-Cry2 using the FuGENE6 transfection reagent (Promega; catalog no.: E2691) after 24 h, when they have reached 70% confluency. After 3 days of incubation, the cells were reset with 0.1 μM dexamethasone (DXM; Sigma Aldrich; catalog no.: D4902). After 2 h of incubation, the medium was replaced with lumicycle medium (10 g Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium powder (Sigma; catalog no.: D-2902), 0.35 g sodium bicarbonate (tissue culture grade; Sigma; catalog no.: S5761), 3.5 g D(+) glucose powder (tissue culture grade; Sigma; catalog no.: G7021), 10 ml 1 M HEPES buffer (Gibco; catalog no.: 15140-122), 2.5 ml penicillin/streptomycin (100 μg/ml), 50 ml 5% fetal bovine serum, and up to 1 L sterile Milli-Q water) with 0.1 μM freshly added luciferin. The plates were then sealed with silicone grease and placed in the LumiCycle 32 Luminometer (Actimetrics). The bioluminescence readings were recorded for 70 s every 10 min for 5 days.

5 × 104 U2OS Bmal1-dLuc cells per well were seeded to an opaque 96-well plate and cultured overnight as described earlier46 (link). The next day cells were reset by adding dexamethasone (DXM) (0.1 µM final) for 2 h. Then medium was changed to bioluminescence recording media which contains the following in 1L: DMEM powder (sigma D-2902, 10X 1L), 0.35 gr sodium bi-carbonate (tissue culture grade, sigma S5761), 3.5gr D(+) glucose powder (tissue culture grade, sigma G7021), 10 mL 1 M HEPES buffer (Gibco 15,140–122), 2.5 mL Pen/Strep (100 ug/ml), 50 mL 5% FBS and up to 1L sterile milliQ water. Luciferin is added freshly with 0.1 mM final concentration. Molecules were added to the bioluminescence recording media at the desired concentration (0.5% DMSO final concentration). Plates were sealed with optically clear film to prevent evaporation and gas exchange thereby maintaining homeostasis of the cells. Luminescence values were recorded at 32 °C for every 30 min with 15 s integration time via Synergy H1 luminometer for a week. The experiment was repeated three times with 3-technical replicates. To obtain the period values BioDare2 (biodare2.ed.ac.uk) was used47 (link). Significant analysis was performed by using the unpaired t-test with Welch’s correction.

The glucose-based aqueous solution was prepared to measure the sensing performance of the proposed resonator-based microwave biosensor. The aqueous solution was prepared using a quantized mixture of D-Glucose powder (Sigma Aldrich) and deionized water (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA). The glucose solution was calibrated using standard concentrations of 0.3, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mg/mL. The glucose sample’s range (0.3–5 mg/mL) was selected to cover diabetes patients with hyperglycemia (glucose concentration > 1.20 mg/mL) as well as hypoglycemia (glucose concentration < 0.80 mg/mL) [50 ]. A one hundred-nanoliter (100 nL) droplet was dropped on the sensing area with a digitally variable pipette (0.1–2.5 μL), purchased from Shanghai LC-BX Instrument Technology Co Ltd., to quantify the sample volume of the glucose solution. All samples are tested at room temperature with a fixed-volume pipette to achieve a fixed volume and shape.

Laboratory‐reared An. coluzzii and An. gambiae were obtained from outbred colonies established in 2019, which have since been repeatedly replenished with wild‐caught gravid females collected in the Vallée du Kou (11°23′N, 4°24′W) and Soumousso (11°04′N, 4°03′W), respectively, in southwestern Burkina Faso, and identified by SINE PCR (Santolamazza et al., 2008 (link)). Females were maintained on rabbit blood by direct feeding (protocol approved by the national committee of Burkina Faso; IRB registration #00004738 and FWA 00007038) for egg production. Larvae were reared in 1 L of tap water in plastic trays and fed daily with TetraMin® Baby Fish Food (Tetrawerke, Melle, Germany) until adulthood. The adult mosquitoes were held in 30 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm mesh‐covered cages under standard controlled conditions (27 ± 2°C, 70 ± 5% RH, and at a 12 h:12 h light:dark rhythm), and emerged males and females were fed daily with 5% glucose. This solution was prepared using D‐(+)‐glucose powder, Sigma‐Aldrich®, and distilled water.

The high-fat diet used was modified from that described previously [11 (link)]. The ingredients were a mixture of 40% control diet (Smart Heart; PCG, Bangkok, Thailand), 10% coconut oil (Roi Thai, Thailand), 10% corn oil (Golden Drop, Thailand), 1.25% cholesterol, 0.25% sodium deoxycholate (Sigma-Aldrich, St, Louis, Mo, USA), and 38.5% sucrose (Mitr Phol, Thailand). All of the ingredients were combined and formed into small discs, which were then incubated at 65°C for 24 h. The high-fructose drinking water was prepared by mixing d-glucose powder (18.9 g) and d-fructose powder (23.1 g) (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) in distilled water (1 L) [30 (link)]. HFF diet composition was determined by Central Laboratory (Thailand), Co.

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.
