NAD +and NADH were then detected using the NAD/NADH-Glo Assay (Promega, G9072) according to the manufacturer’s directions and previous reports (Gui et al., 2016 (link); Sullivan et al., 2015 (link)). To detect NAD+, 50 µL of sample was transferred to a PCR tube and treated with 25 µL of 0.4 N HCl and heated to 60 °C for 15 min where acidic conditions selectively degrade NADH. For NADH detection, 50 µL of sample was transferred to a PCR tube and heated to 75 °C for 30 min for selective basic degradation of NAD+. Following incubation, samples were equilibrated at room temperature, then quenched by neutralizing the NAD +acid-treated samples with 25 µL of 0.5 M Trizma base (Sigma, T6066) and the NADH base-treated samples with 50 µL of 1:1 (v/v) 0.4 N HCl:0.5 M Trizma base. Once neutralized, 50 µL of each sample was then mixed with 50 µL of NAD/NADH-Glo Detection Reagent in an opaque white 96-well flat bottom plate. Selective degradation protocols and detection in the linear range were confirmed using chemical standards for NAD+ (Sigma, N1511) and NADH (Sigma N8129). Enzyme-linked luminescence measurements were then recorded on a Tecan Infinite M Plex microplate reader according to the manufacturer instructions.

Trabecular bone plugs were obtained and decellularized as previously described.[20 (link)] Briefly, 6mm diameter trabecular bone cores were obtained from the distal femur of 1-3 day old bovids (Gold Medal Packing, Inc., Rome, NY). Cores were sectioned into 6 mm diameter by 10 mm length cylindrical plugs. Bone plugs were rinsed with a high velocity stream of deionized water, before going through sequential soaks of 0.1% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (Corning, Manassas, VA) (wt vol−1 %), hypotonic buffer (10 mM Trizma base (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), 0.1% EDTA in PBS (wt vol−1 %)) and detergent (10 mM Trizma base, 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) in PBS (wt vol−1 %)). Bone plugs were washed with PBS and frozen until ready for use.

Phosphate-Buffered Saline Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The charcoal and dialysis methods use phosphate-buffered saline with gelatin (PBS; 8.66 g Na2HPO4 [anhydrous], 6.10 g NaH2PO4·2H2O, 1 g gelatin, diluted up to 1 L in ultrapure water and adjusted to pH 7.4 with 1 N NaOH [Sigma-Aldrich, Mississauga, Canada, Cat. Nos. S5136, 711 505, G6144 and 109137, respectively]). We used all the PBS in < 1 week, so we did not a add preservative; for longer storage, we added 0.1 g thimerosal (Sigma-Aldrich, Mississauga, Canada Cat. Nos. T5125 and S2002); sodium azide can be used as an alternative bacteriostatic agent. The harvester method uses a 50-mM Tris acetate buffer (6.05 g Trizma base [Sigma T1503] in 1 L ultrapure water, chilled to 4°C, and pH adjusted to 7.4 with 5 N acetic acid [Sigma 695092]) for incubating plasma samples and a 25-mM Tris–HCl rinse buffer (6.05 g Trizma base dissolved in 2 L ultrapure water, chilled to 4°C, and pH adjusted to 7.4 with 6 N hydrochloric acid [Sigma 320331]). When we refer to ‘buffer’ throughout this paper, we are referring to the appropriate assay buffer for the selected separation procedure.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity was measured as previously described [15 (link),16 (link)] with some modifications. Caco-2 cells were treated with or without 2 mM IIAEK. Micelles were prepared as previously described [13 (link)]. Following treatment, the cells were washed twice with 0.9% NaCl. Subsequently, 691 μL of cold 50 mM Tris buffer [pH 7.5, Trizma base (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, T1503)] was added. Protein was collected on ice and homogenized with an injection needle (26G × 1/2) (TERUMO, Tokyo, Japan, NN-2613S). AP activity was estimated using 1.25 mg/mL disodium p-nitrophenol phosphate as a substrate in Tris-HCl buffer [pH 10.0, 5 mM MgCl2.6H2O (Wako, 135-00165) and 200 mM Trizma base (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA, T1503)]. After 30 min of incubation at 37 °C, the absorbance at 405 nm was measured, and AP activity was calculated as μmol/min using a calibration curve for various concentrations of p-nitrophenol. μmol/min was defined as U. U was converted to U/mg protein in order to normalize AP activity to the protein concentration, which was determined using a commercially available kit (BioRad, protein assay; BioRad).

5 × 105 cells from each group of different age were used for the assessment of enzyme activities. The cells were homogenized in 200 μL of 250 mM sucrose(Sigma-Aldrich, St.Louis, MO), 50 mM HEPES (Sigma-Aldrich), 0,5 mM EDTA (Sigma Aldrich) and one tablet protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, Mannheim, Germany ). Enzymes activities were determined using a SUNRISE spectrophotometer (TECAN, Mannedorf, Switzerland). Reaction rates of enzymes were determined by the increase or decrease in absorbance of NAD(P)H (Sigma-Aldrich, St.Louis, MO) at 340 nm at 37 °C. Lactate dehydrogenise (EC 1.1.1.27) was determined in BM-MSCs using 50 mM Trizma base (pH 7,4), 0,15 mM NADH and 5 mM sodium pyruvate (omitted for control) (all Sigma Aldrich, St.Louis, MO). Glucose-6-phosphate 1-deshydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, decarboxylating (EC 1.1.1.343) was determined in BM-MSCs using 78 mM Trizma base, 5 mM MgCl2(pH 7,4), 0,1 mM NADP, 0,5 mM D-Glucose 6-phosphate disodium salt hydrate and 6-Phosphogluconic acid trisodium salt (omitted for control) (all Sigma-Aldrich, St.Louis, MO).

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.
