Targeted Proteomics for Biomarker Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Targeted proteomics was carried out as previously described (Stergachis, MacLean, Lee, Stamatoyannopoulos, & MacCoss, 2011) using either a 1200 Series LC (Agilent Technologies, USA) combined with a QTRAP 3200 MS/MS system (Sciex, USA), or a Shimadzu HPLC combined with a QTRAP 6500 MS/MS system (Sciex). Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as an internal control (10 ng/µl; target peptide: YLYEIAR). This was added to the crude extract before 200 µg of total protein was digested per sample. The targeted proteomics method was developed with Skyline (MacLean et al., 2010), and the peptide VDITQIK was used to detect chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CatP, backbone marker), whereby the peptide VLSVITEPILPFER was used to detect IspS. The peptides were separated in a linear gradient by changing the ratio between buffer A (2% acetonitrile, 98% water, 0.1% formic acid) and buffer B (98% acetonitrile, 2% water, and 0.1% formic acid) from 95:5 to 5:95 with a flow rate of 0.4 ml/min.

Quantitative Analysis of Methamphetamine and Metabolites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chromatographic and mass spectrometric analyses were performed using Nexera X2 UHPLC System (Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan) interfaced with a QTRAP 6500 MS/MS System with a Turbo Spray ion source (SCIEX, Framingham, MA, USA). The majority of the experiments were analyzed using MRM mode (detailed settings for these experiments are provided in Supporting Information).
LC-MS conditions (column, eluent, gradient, source parameters) used for Q3 MS scan or EPI analyses were the same as for MRM described in Supporting Information, while the detection method was different. The full scan chromatograms and spectra were acquired in Q3 MS scan (mass to charge ratio (m/z) 100–1000). The EPI mode was implemented using 30 V of collision energy (CE) and 15 V of collision energy spread (CES) for precursor ions of all MRM transitions. Additionally, new metabolites of Meth and hydroxymethamphetamine (OHMA) isomers were fragmented using 10, 15 and 20 V of CE and 5 V of CES. The MS/MS spectra were acquired from m/z 50 to m/z-value of the parent ion + 20 to achieve an upper limit around 20 m/z above the m/z of each fragmented ion.

Bioactive Lipid Mediator Extraction and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The extraction protocol and analysis of bioactive lipid mediators were performed as described by Le Faouder et al. (17 (link)), adapted by the Ambiotis SAS (Toulouse, France) standard operating procedure. Briefly, samples of plasma, cell supernatants and purified EVs were mixed with 0.4 mL of ice-cold methanol and held at -80°C for protein precipitation. Samples were then centrifuged and supernatants were collected. After removal of the organic solvent under a stream of nitrogen, samples were suspended in methanol and rapidly acidified to pH 3.5 with HCl. Acidified samples were then loaded into C-18 solid-phase extraction cartridges (Waters, Milford, MA), rapidly neutralized, and eluted with methyl formate. Eluate solvents were evaporated under a stream of nitrogen and residues were suspended in mobile phase for liquid chromatography analyses using an Exion LCAD U-HPLC system coupled to a Sciex QTRAP 6500+ MS-MS system (AB Sciex, Framingham, MA), equipped with an ESI source in negative ion mode.

ABA Quantification in Plant Samples

Abscisic acid (ABA) extraction was performed according to the method by Errard et al. (2016) (link) with modifications. ABA was extracted from 10 mg homogenized sample using methanol/water (3:2, v/v). Deuterated ABA was added as an internal standard followed by sonication in cold. Combined supernatants were filtered through PTFE filters (0.2 µm) and diluted with 0.1% acetic acid in ultrapure water (1:1, v/v). The extracts were analyzed using an Agilent Technologies 1260 Infinity HPLC coupled with a triple quadrupole, Q-Trap® 6500-MS/MS system (AB Sciex LLC, Framingham, USA) equipped with a Zorbax Eclipse Plus C18 column (1.8 µm, 2.1 mm x 50 mm; Agilent Technologies, Waldbronn, Germany). Elution was performed in gradient mode using solvent A: 0.1% acetic acid and solvent B: acetonitrile and 0.1% water. Ionization was performed in negative mode using ESI (electrospray ionization) at 500°C with the following settings: ionization voltage, -4,500 V; curtain gas, 50 psi; drying gas, 50 psi; nebulizer gas, 50 psi; auxiliary gas, 65 psi; and multi reaction monitoring (MRM) at a dwell time of 0.3781 s. Identification and quantification were based on MRM transitions (263→153 quantifier, 263→203 and 263→122 qualifier). ABA was quantified using external calibration with internal standard.

The extraction protocol and analysis of bioactive lipid mediators were performed as described by Le Faouder et al.,(15) adapted by the Ambiotis SAS (Toulouse, France) standard operating procedure. Briefly, plasma (1 mL) was mixed with 0.4 mL of ice‐cold methanol and held at −80°C for protein precipitation. Samples were then centrifuged and supernatants collected. After removal of the organic solvent under a stream of nitrogen, samples were suspended in methanol and rapidly acidified to pH 3.5 with HCl. Acidified samples were then loaded into C‐18 SPE cartridges (Waters, Milford, MA), rapidly neutralized, and eluted with methyl formate. Eluate solvents were evaporated under a stream of nitrogen and residues suspended in mobile phase for LC/MS‐MS analyses using an Exion LCAD U‐HPLC system coupled with a Sciex QTRAP 6500+ MS‐MS system (AB Sciex, Framingham, MA), equipped with an ESI source in negative ion mode. Quantification was performed using calibration curves with synthetic standards for each of the SPMs included in the analysis.

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.
