Identifying GSH Degradation by LC-MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To identify degradation products of GSH by using LC-MS, the products were confirmed by the selected-ion-monitoring (SIM) mode. The m/z values of [M+H]+ were adopted for the LC-MS-SIM. The LC-MS system consisted of a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) device, LC-30AD (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan), and an MS detector with an electrospray ion source and quadrupole analyzer, LCMS-2020 (Shimadzu). LC-MS was carried out using an InertSustain column (4.6 by 50 mm; GL Sciences, Tokyo, Japan). The elution was performed with 0.1% formic acid for 5 min; the flow rate, column temperature, and injection volume were 0.5 ml/min, 35°C, and 5 µl, respectively. All samples were injected by 5× dilution with 0.1% formic acid. GSH (1 mM) (Sigma), 5-oxoproline (Sigma), and Cys-Gly (Sigma) were used as authentic standards.

Genetic Manipulation of Human GGT1

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The expression plasmid pCXN2 vector was a generous gift from Dr J. Miyazaki (Osaka University). The coding sequence of human GGT1 was amplified from HeLa cells by reverse transcription–PCR and subcloned into pCXN2. The single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) targeting human GGT1 sequence (#1, 5′-actgcgggacggtggctctg-3’; #2, 5′-ctgcttggcatccgcggcca-3′) were cloned into the sgRNA expression vector peSpCAS9(1.1)-2xsgRNA (Addgene; plasmid no.: 80768). Cystine-free medium was prepared as described previously (15 (link)). Inhibitors and amino acid compounds were used at the following concentrations: BSO, 100 μM; DFO, 100 μM (Santa Cruz Biotechnology); Fer-1, 1 μM; SSZ, 250 μM; Cys-Gly, 100 μM; glutamate, 100 μM (Sigma–Aldrich); OU749, 250 μM; NCT-503, 25 μM (Cayman); and GSH (Nacalai Tesque, Inc), 100 μM.

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.
