EV pellets were solubilized in GuHCl lysis buffer [6 M GuHCl, 100 mM Tris pH 8.5, 10 mM tris(2-car- boxyethyl)phosphine, 40 mM 2-chloroacetamide] and heated for 5 min at 95 °C. Lysates were cooled on ice for 10 min, sonicated (Branson probe sonifier 10% duty cycle, 3 times, 20 s), and heated again (95 °C for 5 min). Lysates were centrifuged for 30 min at 10,000g at 4 °C, and cleared supernatant was removed to a clean tube. GuHCl concentration was diluted to less than 0.75 M using 100 mM Tris pH 8.5, and the samples were incubated overnight at 37 °C with trypsin (1:50 w/w). The reaction was stopped by adding trifluoroacetic acid to a final concentration of 0.1%, and the peptides were desalted using C18 Sep-Pak cartridges.

Quantitative Proteomic Sample Preparation

Sample pellets were solubilized in 3× volume of GuHCl lysis buffer (6 M Guanidine-HCl, 100 mM Tris-Cl pH 8.5, 10 mM TCEP, 40 mM CAA, 6 mM CaCl2) and heated for 5 min at 75 °C. Lysates were cooled on ice for 10 minutes, sonicated (Branson probe sonifier, 10% power, 3 × 20 s On, 10 s Off cycles), and heated again at 75 °C for 5 min, followed by centrifugation for 30 min at 3500 × g and 4 °C. Cleared lysates were transferred to fresh tubes, diluted 8× with 100 mM Tris-Cl pH 8.5 and protein concentration was determined using BCA assay (Thermo Scientific). Equal amounts of proteins were digested overnight with MS-grade Trypsin (Thermo Scientific) with 1:50 (protein: enzyme) ratio at 37 °C with agitation (900 rpm on an Eppendorf thermomixer). Digested peptides were acidified with 10% TFA (final 1% v/v), vacufuged to remove TFE and desalted using Sep-Pak (Waters Corp).

Microsphere Cytotoxicity Evaluation

The cell proliferation was assessed through the quantification of double-stranded DNA using Quant-iT™ Picogreen™ dsDNA assay kit (Invitrogen), and the metabolic performance was quantified using PrestoBlue™ Reagent (Invitrogen). Briefly, cells were seeded at a cell density of 5,000 cells/cm2 in a 24-well plate, and after 48 hr of incubation, microspheres were added. To avoid aggregation, 5 mg of microsphere was suspended in 1 ml of PBS and sonicated on ice for 2 min at 10% amplitude using a probe sonifier (Branson, Danbury, CT). Then, 100 μg of microspheres were added to each well on top of the cells and cell proliferation and metabolic activity were quantified at days 0, 1, 3, and 7 using corresponding assays. The values were then compared with untreated controls.

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.
