Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After the treatment of Hepa1c1c7 cells (1 × 104 cells/well in 96-well plates), the activity of NQO1 was determined spectrophotometrically as described previously [21] (link). Cells were washed four times with PBS and lysed with 75 μL of digitonin solution (0.8 g/L digitonin, 2 mM EDTA, pH 7.8) by shaking on an orbital shaker for 20 min at room temperature. One part of the cell lysate (20 μL) was used to determine the protein content. The remaining lysate (55 μL) was mixed with 200 μL of 0.5 M Tris-Cl buffer containing 10% (w/v) bovine serum albumin, 1.5% (v/v) Tween-20, 7.5 mM FAD, 150 mM glucose-6-phosphate, 2 U/mL glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany), 50 mM NADP+, 25 mM menadione and 0.7 mM MTT. The mixture was incubated for 5 min at room temperature and the reaction was stopped with 50 μL of dicumarol suspension (0.3 mM dicumarol, 5 mM potassium phosphate, 0.5% DMSO). The absorbance of the reduced MTT corresponding to the activity of NQO1 was measured at 610 nm on a spectrophotometric plate reader. The absorbance values were normalized to the protein content and used for the calculation of fold changes versus the control.

Measuring Lactate and Glucose in HAP1 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HAP1 cells (150 × 103) were seeded in 12-well plates and incubated in IMDM with 10% FBS for 40 hr with a change of medium every 20 hr. Following 40 hr incubation, cell confluency was about 90% and the fresh medium was added to start the final incubation lasting for the next 20 hr. To finish the incubation, 1 ml of the culture medium was transferred to 100 μl of 35% HClO4 and centrifuged at 10,000 × g for 10 min, before the resulting supernatant was neutralized with 3 M K2CO3/3 M KOH. The lactate produced was determined spectrophotometrically using lactate dehydrogenase (Roche) (Noll, 1984 ), whereas glucose consumption was measured in a spectrophotometric assay that uses hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Roche) (Kunst and Draeger, 1984 ). Adherent cells were washed three times with 3 ml of PBS and then solubilized in 0.1 M NaOH containing 0.125% Triton X-100 for protein quantification (Bradford) to allow normalization of lactate produced and glucose consumed to biomass.

Starch Quantification from Rosette Leaves

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Starch was extracted and assayed as previously described (Smith and Zeeman, 2006) . Frozen rosette leaves were ground to a fine powder and homogenized in 8% (v/v) perchloric acid (Ricca Chemical, Arlington, TX, USA). The insoluble fraction was pelleted and washed 3 times in 80% (v/v) ethanol and resuspended in water. Prior to quantification, the samples were boiled 15 min at 95°C to gelatinize the starch and hydrolyzed with α-amylase and amyloglucosidase (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) to release the glucose blocks. Glucose content was then measured by spectrophotometry after a two enzymes reaction with hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Roche).

Starch Quantification via Enzymatic Digestion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples were autoclaved for 20 min at 120 °C to solubilise the starch. Starch was digested to glucose using α-amylase and amyloglucosidase (both from Aspergillus oryzae, manufactured by Megazyme Ltd., Co. Wicklow, Ireland) and the glucose measured enzymatically as described in Rösti et al. (2006) (link). Coupling enzymes in the glucose assay, hexokinase and (NADP-dependant) glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were manufactured by Roche Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland). The reaction was monitored at 340 nm on either a spectrophotometer or a microtitre plate reader. Initial absorbance was recorded before the reaction was started by the addition of (NADP-dependant) glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The reaction was monitored until steady absorbance was reached. The difference between initial absorbance and final absorbance was used to calculate glucose in the samples. The mass of starch (g) was calculated as moles of glucose ×162. Undigested controls were included in the analysis to adjust for glucose in the pellet not from starch.

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.
