For size exclusion chromatography, proteins were first buffer-exchanged into 300 mM ammonium acetate, pH 6.8 with Micro Bio-Spin™ 6 columns (Bio-Rad). 100 pmol protein was injected onto a bioZen™ 1.8 μm SEC-2 column (150 x 4.6 mm) equipped with a security guard column (Phenomenex), and eluted with 300 mM ammonium acetate at a flow rate of 0.2 mL min−1 using an UltiMate™ 3000 RSLC (Thermo Fisher Scientific) coupled to an Exactive™ Plus EMR Orbitrap™ mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) equipped with an ESI source and modified to incorporate a quadrupole mass filter and allow for surface-induced dissociation [19 (link)]. Mass spectra were recorded from 1000 - 10000 m/z at 8750 resolution as defined at 200 m/z. The ion injection time was set to 200 ms. Voltages applied to the transfer optics were optimized to allow for optimal ion transmission. Total ion chromatograms were smoothed (Boxcar; 15 points) and overlaid. Mass spectra were deconvoluted and plotted with UniDec version 4.0.0 beta [20 (link)] using the preset high-resolution native parameters adjusted to sample mass every 1 Da.

The levels of the reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione, cysteine and cystine in the incubation mixtures were determined using the RP-HPLC method of Dominic et al. [27 (link)] with modifications [28 (link)]. The samples were separated on a 4.6 mm × 250 mm Luna C18 (5 µm) column with a Phenomenex Security Guard column filled with the same packing material. The chromatographic system consisted of LC-10 Atvp Shimadzu Corp. pumps, four channel degassers, column oven, a Shimadzu SIL-10 Advp autosampler and a Shimadzu Corp. SIL-10 SPD-M10Avp-diode array detector; Lab Solution LC software was used to control system operation and facilitate data collection. The standard curves were generated in the supernatant obtained from cellular homogenates in the range from 13 to 75 nM of each compound per ml. All the standard curves generated for the analyte were linear in the investigated concertation range.

HPLC-MS/MS analysis was performed (as described recently)22 (link) using an Agilent (Boeblingen, Germany) 1200 Series HPLC system coupled to an API 4000 QTRAP (AB SCIEX, Darmstadt, Germany) mass spectrometer operating in negative ionization mode. A Discovery HS F5-3 HPLC column (15 cm × 2.1 mm, 3 µm; Supelco, Bellefonte, PA, USA) equipped with a Security Guard column (C18, Phenomenex, Aschaffenburg, Germany) was used. Gradient elution was performed as described in Supplementary Table S5 with phase A consisting of 0.1% formic acid (FA) in water (v/v) and 100% acetonitrile (ACN) as mobile phase B. The column was kept at 30 °C, and an injection volume of 5 μL was used. Turbo ion spray was operated employing the following parameters: gas 1 and 2: 50 psi and curtain gas: 10 psi. The ion spray voltage was set to −4500 V, the declustering potential to −40.0 V, the entrance potential to −10.0 V, the collision exit potential to −5 V, and the collision energy to −24 V. Detection was performed in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode using the following ion transitions: m/z 147.07 (M - H) to m/z 84.80 for 2-HG and m/z 150.07 to m/z 87.80 for the deuterated internal standard. Quantification was achieved using a calibration curve constructed from the area ratio of 2-HG to the stable isotope-labelled standard.

Metabolites were determined at a wavelength of 210 nm. Sample analysis was controlled using Breeze2 software (Waters Corporation) installed on a Dell computer.
Identification and quantification of individual metabolites was performed against appropriate standards of known concentration. The levels of their content in blood plasma were calculated (µM), and in tissue samples they were recalculated per milligram of wet weight.

For our most effective HPLC analysis procedure we used Waters instruments (Milford, MA, USA), 1525 binary pump, 2707 autosampler with pre-cooled platform (4 °C), and a 2489 UV/VIS detector. Data collection and data analysis were aided by Breeze2 software (Waters Corp, Milford, MA, USA) installed on a Dell computer. The wavelength for UV detection was set at 259 nm. Separation of CoA from acetyl-CoA was achieved with an ESA Inc. (now Dionex & Thermo Fisher Scientific Company, Bedford, MA, USA) RP-C18, 150 × 3 mm, 3 µm, 120 Å (PN# 70-0636) analytical column equipped with a Phenomenex Security Guard column (Torrance, CA, USA), cartridge C18, 4 × 2 mm, (PN# AJ0-4286). The columns were maintained at room temperature, the flow rate was 0.5 mL/min, and the injection volume was 30 µL. Under these conditions CoA and acetyl-CoA elute at 3.8 and 7.8 min, respectively. The HPLC run for both metabolites is completed within 12 min without any additional time for column re-equilibration between the HPLC runs.

In total, 10 µL of the supernatant were injected onto the SecurityGuard™ column (KJ0-4282) with a (4.0 mm × 3.0 mm) guard cartridge before separation using a Phenomenex Gemini® C18 analytical column (5 µm packing, 150 mm × 4.6 mm). Gradient starting conditions of 5% MeCN/H2O were held for 1 min before development into 50% MeCN/H2O over 3 min, followed by development into 95% MeCN/H2O over 3 min. Approximately 95% MeCN/H2O was held for 1 min before equilibration returned to starting conditions over 1 min. Starting conditions were held for 1 min, followed by another 2 min post-run. Flow rates were kept constant at 1 mL/ min. The column temperature was kept constant at 30 °C. UV absorbance was detected at 220 nm, 254 nm, and 210 nm throughout the run.

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.
