Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Release of haeme from wild-type NdCld and variants was tested by incubation of the respective proteins with horse heart apo-myoglobin (Sigma) [5 ,34 ]. Apo-myoglobin was prepared using a modified extraction method by Teale [35 ] as described previously [5 ]. Thirty micromolars of NdCld samples were incubated with 40 μM apo-myoglobin in 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, for 1 h at room temperature. Size-exclusion chromatography was performed to separate NdCld and myoglobin. HPLC (Shimadzu prominence LC20) was equipped with a refractive index detector (RID-10A, Shimadzu), a diode array detector (SPD-M20A, Shimadzu) and a MALLS-detector (Multi-Angle-Laser-Light-Scattering; WYATT Heleos Dawn8+ plus QELS; software ASTRA 6). The column (Superdex 200 10/300 GL, GE Healthcare) with particle size of 13 μm was equilibrated with the running buffer (Dulbecco PBS, 200 mM NaCl). The experiments were performed at a flow rate of 0.75 ml·min−1, 80 μl of the protein solution (containing 30 μM NdCld and 40 μM apo-myoglobin) were injected. Untreated NdCld samples (wild-type, K141E, E210A, R173Q/E210A), holo- and apo-myoglobin as well as Bio-Rad Gel Filtration Standard (#151-1901) containing also holo-myoglobin from horse heart, were injected as references. Haeme transfer was observed by extracting elution profiles at 280 and 409 nm from the diode array detector.

All physiological experiments were performed in triplicate. The effects of temperature, pH, and concentrations of NaCl on cell growth, utilization of carbohydrates and sensitivity to antibiotics were determined by hydrogen production in gas phase of cultures. Hydrogen and methane in gas phase of cultures were measured with a gas chromatography equipped with a thermal conductivity detector (GC-8A; Shimadzu, Japan). Glucose, acetate, and ethanol in liquid phase of cultures were measured with a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (LC20; Shimadzu) with Shim-pack SPR-H column (Shimadzu) or HPLC (LC-2000Plus, Jasco) with Aminex HPX-87H column (BIO-RAD).

Enzymatic hydrolysis of phytic acid (Sigma, Poznań, Poland) was performed as described elsewhere [14 (link)] with modifications. The reaction was conducted in a total volume of 5 mL containing 100 mg of phytate and 50 mg of wheat phytase (Sigma, Poznań, Poland) at a pH of 5.15 and a temperature of 55 °C. The reaction was stopped after two hours by heating (100 °C for 5 min). Next, the obtained hydrolysate of phytic acid (hPA120) was cooled down on ice and precipitated enzymatic proteins were centrifuged (12,000× g, 10 °C, 10 min). The supernatant was collected, filter sterilized (filter pore 0.22 µm), aliquoted, and stored at −20 °C. Directly before use, the hydrolysate was defrosted and diluted twice with McCoy 5A medium without antibiotics. Before applying onto colonocytes, the hPA120 was 10-fold diluted in a medium appropriate for investigated cell lines.
The composition of inositol phosphates in phytate hydrolysate was determined by applying HPLC-MS (LC-20, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan; QTRAP 5500 mass spectrometer, AB SCIEX, Vaughan, Canada) and identified using real standards comprised the retention time and the presence of the respective parent and daughter ion (negative) pairs (Table S1) [15 (link)].

The total polysaccharide content of EPS-160 was measured by the phenol-sulfuric acid (H2SO4) method (Yin et al., 2014 (link)). The presence of protein was determined using the Bradford method (Blum et al., 2008 (link)). For monosaccharide composition analysis, 20 mg EPS-160 was hydrolyzed with 2 mL of 2 M trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) at 120°C for 4 h. The hydrolyzate was evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Agilent1200, United States) equipped with a ROA-Organic Acid H+(8%) column (Phenomenex, United States) (Zhang et al., 2017 (link)). Functional groups of EPS-160 were identified by measuring from 400 to 4000 cm–1 wavenumbers in a Nicolet 6700 infrared spectrometer (Thermo Fisher, America). Molecular weights (MWs) of EPS-160 were analyzed by a gel permeation chromatography (GPC) system (LC20, Shimadzu, Japan). The system was equipped with a refractive index (RI) detector (RID-20, Shimadzu, Japan) and a TSK G4000PWXL column (Tosoh, Japan).

For in vitro drug release study, the simulated lung fluid (SLF) was used to simulate the physiological environment in lungs, which was composed of 0.02% DPPC, 0.02% potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 0.318% disodium hydrogen phosphate, 0.02% potassium chloride, 0.01% magnesium chloride, 0.01% calcium chloride, and 0.80% sodium chloride (all w/v)45 (link). Samples containing 1 mg of ketoprofen and 1 mL of SLF were enclosed in the dialysis bags and incubated in 30 mL of SLF. After incubation in a constant temperature shaker (100 rpm, 37 °C), 1 mL of the release medium was withdrawn at predetermined time points, and then equivalent of fresh release medium was compensated for sample losing.
The obtained release medium was filtered through 0.22 μm membrane and analyzed by a high performance liquid chromatography system (HPLC, LC-20, Shimadzu, Japan). The mobile phase consisted of methanol and 0.02 mol/L monopotassium phosphate buffer solution (80:20, v/v) with a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Twenty microliters of the release medium were injected into a C18 column (5 μm, 250 mm × 4.6 mm, Diamonsil, Beijing, China), and detected at 258 nm. The column temperature was set at 40 °C.

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.
