Cellular Fractionation and Protein Extraction

Cells were plated at density of 3 × 106 cells in 15 cm2 dishes. The following day, cells were treated with 200 nM MMC for 24 h. Cells were harvested and resuspended in ice-cold PBS. A portion of the pellet was retained as a whole cell lysate (W). The remaining pellet was lysed on ice in cytoskeletal buffer (CSK) (300 mM Sucrose, 100 mM NaCl, 3 mM MgCl2, 0.5% v/v Triton-X-100, 1 mM EGTA, 10 mM PIPES, pH 6.8). The supernatant, containing soluble cytoplasmic and nuclear proteins, was collected as the soluble fraction (S). The remaining pellet, containing chromatin-associated and nuclear insoluble proteins (C), and the whole-cell lysate pellet, were lysed in 2% SDS lysis buffer with sonication for 10 s at 10% amplitude using a Fisher Scientific Model 500 Ultrasonic Dismembrator.

Microfluidized Kolliphor EL/Pluronic P105 Emulsions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Preparation of 3% w/w Kolliphor EL/ 2% w/w Pluronic P105 surfactant solution is reported previously (Patel S. K. et al. 2013 ). Emulsification protocol developed previously (Janjic et al. 2008 (link); O’Hanlon et al. 2012 (link)) was partially modified. First, surfactant solution was added to the oil(s). If present, solubilizer or PFPE-tyramide dissolved in transcutol (at 50 mg/mL) was added to the mixture. Then, coarse emulsions were produced with an analog vortex mixer (VWR, Radnor, PA) on high for 30 seconds. Triphasic emulsions were sonicated for 30 seconds at 29% amplitude with Model 500 Ultrasonic Dismembrator (FisherScientific, Pittsburgh, PA). Microfluidization was performed on all coarse emulsions by Microfluidizer M110S (Microfluidics Corp., Westwood, MA) at 15,000 psi liquid pressure for 20 pulses over ice cold interaction chamber. Emulsions were stored at 4 °C in glass vials. This method was used to produce all presented formulations. Microfluidization processing parameters were kept constant throughout the study.

DNA Library Preparation and Illumina Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The DNAs of M1, F1 and F’-Mix, three samples were built into libraries and used for sequencing. Each DNA sample was separately sonicated using a Fisher Scientific Model 500 Ultrasonic Dismembrator. DNAs were manually size-selected into 300-500 bp fragments using gel electrophoresis, and libraries were prepared according to the methodology originally described in the NEBNext Ultra DNA Library Prep Kit from Illumina. Three libraries were quantified by realtime fluorescence quantitative PCR, and run in three lanes on Illumina HiSeq 2000 using 150 base PE reads (v3 chemistry kit, Illumina, USA). Illumina sequencing and library preparation was performed by the Beijing Genomics Institute.

Nanoparticle Size Characterization by Nanosizer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Nanosizer, by Malvern, United Kingdom, was employed to determine the mean diameter (Dp) and degree of size variation (DPI) of precipitated PS nanoparticles. The measurements were performed at a temperature of 25 °C, with a reading angle of 90° and a wavelength of 633 nm. The obtained PS particles were dispersed in distilled water and then exposed to sonication using a Model 500 Ultrasonic Dismembrator from Fisher Scientific, USA, to break up any present aggregates (de Sousa Cunha et al. 2021 (link)).

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.
