To increase proteome coverage of the haptenated peptide digests, the samples were separated into 12 fractions based on their isoelectric points. This was performed using the Agilent 3100 OFFGEL Fractionator in combination with 13 cm Immobiline IPG strips, pH 3-10. 100 µg peptide samples were made up to a final volume of 1.4 ml with a 1: 50 solution of IPG buffer, pH 3-10 (GE Life Sciences, Buckinghamshire, UK) diluted in 5% Glycerol. Peptides were focused for 20 kVh at a maximum current of 50 µA and a maximum power of 200 mW.
Each fraction was collected and acidified by adding 10 µl of solvent containing 10% TFA. Each acidified fraction was loaded onto a conditioned C18 reverse-phase Empore Plates (3 M, Maplewood, Minnesota, USA), and washed with 20 µl of 0.5% acetic acid. Peptides were eluted from the tip using 40 µl of 80% acetonitrile + 0.5% acetic acid. Samples were lyophilized using a vacuum concentrator to 6 µl and mixed with 6 µl of 2% acetonitrile + 1% TFA.

For each mucus sample taken from individual fish from Trial#1 100 μL of protein extract was precipitated using the ReadyPrep 2-D Cleanup Kit (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hertfordshire, UK) following the manufacturer’s guidelines. The final protein precipitate was solubilised in 100 μL re-swell buffer (7 M urea, 2 M thiourea, 4% 3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS), 0.3% dithiothreitol (DTT), 1% (v) IPG Buffer pH 3–10 (GE Healthcare). Complete solubilisation of the pellet was achieved by briefly vortexing the tubes followed by clarification by centrifugation at 14,500 x g for 15 minutes. The supernatant was then transferred to a clean 1.5 mL tube. The protein samples were initially analysed by 1-Dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Coomassie brilliant blue G-250 (CBB) (Fisher Scientific, Loughborough, UK) staining to determine the sample quality and to provide an estimate of the protein concentration.

Intoxication treatment for proteomic analysis was performed by treating two-day-old A. aegypti larvae with the Ag/AgCl NPs at the LC25 concentration. After 24 h treatment, the surviving larvae were cultured further for 24 h without Ag/AgCl NPs. The midgut of the surviving A. aegypti larvae was dissected. A. aegypti larvae without NP treatment were used as a negative control. Samples of 100 midguts were pooled in 100 µL of rehydration solution (8 M urea, 2% w/v CHAPS, 40 mM dithiothreitol, 0.5% v/v IPG buffer pH 3–10 (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden), 0.02% w/v bromophenol blue) containing protease inhibitors (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). Then, the midguts were homogenized on ice using a pellet pestle (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) and the extracted proteins were cleaned using a 2-D Clean-Up kit (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, the protein pellets were solubilized in the rehydration solution and quantified using a 2-D Quant Kit (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden). The midgut protein concentration was adjusted to 50 μg in 120 μL of the rehydration solution.

The iTRAQ mixture was fractionated using an Agilent OFFGEL 3100 fractionator with a 24 cm GE Healthcare Immobiline DryStrip with a nonlinear pH range of 3–10. The strip was rehydrated with a buffer containing 4.8% glycerol and 0.96% IPG buffer pH 3–10 (GE Healthcare) for 15 min. Peptides were diluted in 3.6 mL of the buffer and added in equal amounts to each well. Fractionation was achieved using the default program for peptides “OG24PE01” which targets 50 kVh with maximum values of 4500 V, 200 mW, and 50 mA. The 24 resulting fractions were combined into 18 fractions and desalted using a Sep-Pak tC18 1 cc Vac Cartridge (Waters). Each fraction was concentrated using a vacuum centrifuge and resuspended in 0.1% formic acid. Four microgram of labeled peptides were injected into the LC-MS/MS ((liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry).

The 2-DE was performed at the Proteomics and Protein Biochemistry Laboratory, Universidade Federal de Viçosa. Midguts were taken from each mosquito developmental stage, and three 2-DE gel (technical replicates) from a pool of 200 mosquitoes was done for each stage or feeding condition. Each Immobiline DryStrip pH 3-10, 7 cm (GE Healthcare) was hydrated for 16 h with 125 μL of a solution containing 85 μg protein added Destreak (GE Healthcare), 40 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), and 2% (v/v) IPG buffer pH 3-10 (GE Healthcare). Isoelectric focusing (IEF) was performed using the IPGphor3™ (GE Healthcare) system in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

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.
