DNA samples from the primary cohort were extracted using Purelink TM Genomic DNA mini kit (Invitrogen, USA). Epidermal samples were digested using Proteinase K at 55°C heating block overnight following the manufacturers recommendations. For the extended cohort of samples, skin biopsies were similarly digested using Proteinase K and DNA was purified with phenolchloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation. DNA was eluted with 28 μL of Molecular Biology Grade Water (Corning, USA) for 1 and 2 mm punches or 36 μL of Molecular Biology Grade Water for 3, 4, and 6 mm punches. The isolated genomic DNA was stored at -20°C and the DNA concentration of each extraction was measured using a Qubit fluorometer or Quanti-iT PicoGreen kit (Invitrogen, USA).

Engineered Muscle Tissue Formation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For all tissue seeding procedures, ECM solution is prepared on ice by first neutralizing type I collagen from rat tail (Corning) with 1 M sodium hydroxide (Sigma), 10× PBS (Lonza), and molecular biology grade water (Corning) and then mixing neutralized collagen thoroughly with growth factor reduced Matrigel (Corning) (28 (link)). Collagen and Matrigel are used at final concentrations of 2 mg/mL each. To form muscle rings, C2C12 cells are suspended in ECM solution at a density of 2.5 × 106 cells/mL. Cell–ECM mixtures are seeded into sterile PDMS molds by pipetting and are polymerized at room temperature for 30 min. Samples are then inundated in growth medium and incubated for 2 d while they compacted the ECM gel and form muscle rings.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Seahorse assay was conducted using Agilent Seahorse XF Cell Mito Stress Test Kit (#103015-100, Agilent) and Seahorse XFe96 Analyzer following the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, 10,000 cells were seeded onto the Seahorse XF Cell Culture Microplate (#101085-004, Agilent) two days before assaying. One day before the assay, cells were treated with cholesterol and 58035 for 24 h while the microplate cartridge was hydrated by 200 μl Molecular Biology Grade Water (#46-000-CI, Corning) overnight at 37 °C. At the day of assay, the water in microplate cartridge was replaced by prewarmed XF Calibrant (#100840-000, Agilent) followed by incubation in 37 °C non-CO2 incubator for 1 h. Then, 20 μl of 100 μM oligomycin, 22 μl of 100 μl 100 μM FCCP, and 25 μl of 50 μM Rotenone/AA was added to the port A, B, C of the sensor cartridge, respectively. For the cell culture microplate, the medium was replaced by Agilent Seahorse XF DMEM Medium (#103575-100, Agilent) supplemented with 1 mM pyruvate (#103578-100, Agilent), 2 mM glutamine (#103579-100, Agilent), and 10 mM glucose (#103577-100, Agilent), followed by 1 h incubation in a 37 °C non-CO2 incubator. An XF cell mito stress-test template was used to measure oxygen consumption rate of cells. The data was normalized to protein concentration in Wave 2.6.1 software.

Mutants were constructed as previously described by Grahl et al. using an expression-free ribonucleoprotein CRISPR-Cas9 method (63 (link)). Briefly, 1 to 2 μg of DNA for gene knockout constructs generated by PCR or 2 μg of digested plasmid, purified, and concentrated with a final elution in molecular biology-grade water (Corning) was used per transformation. Plasmids containing complementation and knockout constructs and resulting strains are listed in Table S3 and CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs; IDT) are listed in Table S4.

Overnight cultures of P. mirabilis HI4320 and the nickel transport mutants were diluted 1:100 into 5 ml of filter-sterilized human urine and incubated for 4 hours at 37°C with shaking at 225 rpm. Four 1-ml aliquots were then removed, centrifuged to pellet, and resuspended in 1 ml of RNA STAT-60 (Tel-Test, Inc). 0.2 ml chloroform: iso-amyl alcohol 24:1 (Calbiochem) was added to each aliquot, microfuge tubes were inverted several times to mix, and centrifuged at 18,000 × g for 30 minutes at 4°C. The aqueous layer was removed and transferred to a new microfuge tube, to which 0.5 mL isopropanol was added (Fischer Scientific), mixed by inversion, and incubated overnight at −20°C to precipitate RNA. The next day, samples were centrifuged at 18×000 × g for 30 minutes at 4°C, supernatants were discarded, and the nucleic acid pellet was washed three times with 1 mL 75% ethanol and centrifuged at 18×000 × g each wash for 10 minutes. After the final wash, the supernatant was carefully removed and the pellet was air-dried, then dissolved in 50 μL of molecular biology grade water (Corning). Nucleic acid concentration was measured by Nanodrop and adjusted to 200 ng/μL in 50 μL total volume with water. DNA was removed via the Invitrogen DNA Free Kit, according to manufacturer’s protocol. DNAse-treated RNA was frozen at −20°C until use.

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.
