For TMT experiment, first 10 μg of each peptide sample was pooled for the reference peptide channel. Ten TMT 10plex reagents (Thermo Fisher) with different mass of reporter ions were labeled on N-terminus or amine group of Lysine amino acid, and the last channel of TMT-131 was used for reference peptides to normalize experimental batch effects. After quenching of excess TMT reagent using 5 % ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), all channels in a batch were pooled in a tube followed by cleaning up salts using C18 column (Isolute-C18, Biotage). Eluted peptides were fractionated on HPLC (Ultimate 3000, Thermo Fisher) coupled with C18 column (ZORBAX 300Extend-C18, Agilent). Mobile phases were composed of 2% ACN, 15 mM NH4OH, pH 10 for Buffer A and 90% ACN, 15 mM NH4OH, pH 10 for Buffer B. Sample separation was accomplished using the following linear gradient: from 0% to 7% B in 2 min, from 7% to 45% B in 78 min, from 45% to 80% B in 5 min, and held at 80% B for an additional 10 min. Separated samples were collected in a 96 deep well plate and further concatenated into 24 fractions. The fractionated peptides were dried down and reconstituted in 0.1% FA with 3% ACN at a final concentration of 0.1 μg/μL for further analysis.

Solid Phase Extraction for Sample Cleanup

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Clean–up of the extract was performed using a solid phase extraction (C18) column (ISOLUTE/C18 (100 mg/10 ml–1 ml XL), Biotage, Uppsala, Sweden). The column was conditioned using 1 ml of MeOH (10 %). A volume of 6 ml of the extract was added to the column using a vacuum manifold. Elution was performed twice using 1.5 ml of acetonitrile–methanol (40%) (optimized) and soaked for 2 min. The eluted sample was dried by evaporation and re–dissolved in 500 μL of the isocratic mobile phase (A:B, 1:1). Prior to loading the sample in LC-MS/MS, the samples were filtered through a syringe filter (0.45μm).

Oxylipins and Endocannabinoids Extraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Oxilipins and endocannabinoids were isolated from serum samples using an automated C18 solid phase extraction manifold (Biotage, Uppsala, Sweden). For this, 100 μL of patient samples was transferred to a deep well 96 well plate. To the sample, 300 μL of 20:80 methanol:water, 55 μL 1% BHT, and 80 μL of glacial acetic acid was added to adjust the pH to 3.0. Samples are centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C to pellet any precipitated solids. The supernatant was transferred to a preconditioned C18 solid phase extraction (SPE) plate (Isolute C18, Biotage, Uppsala, Sweden). The sample was then rinsed with 800 μL water, followed by 800 μL hexane. Oxylipins and endocannabinoids were then eluted with 400 μL methyl formate, dried under nitrogen gas, and subsequently reconstituted in 200 μL methanol for LC/MS analysis.

Oxilipins were isolated from plasma samples using an automated C18 solid phase extraction manifold, the Biotage Extrahera (Biotage, Uppsala, Sweden). Samples were prepared by pipetting 100 µL of patient plasma to a 96 well plate. To the sample, 300 µL of 20:80 methanol: water, 55 μL 1% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and 80 µL of glacial acetic acid was added to achieve pH 3.0. Samples were centrifuged at 1750 × g for 10 minutes at 4 °C to pellet any precipitated solids. The supernatant was transferred to a C18 SPE plate (Isolute C18, Biotage, Uppsala, Sweden) that was preconditioned with 1 mL ethyl acetate and 1 mL of 95:5 water: methanol. After depositing the sample on the SPE plate, the sample was rinsed with 800 µL water, followed by 800 µL hexane. The oxylipins were then eluted off the SPE column with 400 µL methyl formate. The recovered oxylipin fraction was then dried under nitrogen gas and subsequently reconstituted in 100 μl methanol to be analyzed by LC/MS.

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.
