Adult cell isolation was performed as described previously18 (link). Synchronized day 1 adult CQ574 (lin-15B(n765); jsIs682 [Prab-3::GFP::rab-3 + lin-15(+)]; wqIs3 [Prab3::mCherry]) worms washed with M9 buffer to remove excess bacteria. The pellet (~250 µl) was washed with 500 µl lysis buffer (200 mM DTT, 0.25% SDS, 20 mM Hepes pH 8.0, 3% sucrose) and resuspended in 1000 µl lysis buffer. Worms were incubated in lysis buffer with gentle rocking for 6.5 minutes at room temperature. The pellet was washed 6× with M9 and resuspended in 20 mg/ml pronase from Streptomyces griseus (Sigma-Aldrich). Worms were incubated at room temperature (<20 minutes) with periodic mechanical disruption by pipetting every 2 min. When most worm bodies were dissociated, leaving only small debris and eggs, ice-cold  osmo-balanced Leibovitz's L-15 buffer containing 2% fetal bovine serum (Gibco) was added. RNA from FACS-sorted neurons was prepared for RNA-seq and subsequent analysis (see FACS isolation and RNA seq Analysis for more details).

Synchronized day 1 adult worms expressing pan-neuronal GFP were used for neuron isolation. Worms were washed with M9 buffer to remove excess bacteria. Worm pellet (~250 μl) was then washed once with 500 μl lysis buffer (200 mM DTT, 0.25% SDS, 20 mM HEPES pH 8.0, 3% sucrose), resuspended in 750 μl lysis buffer and incubated with gentle rocking for 6.5 min at room temperature. Worms were washed 6x with M9 and resuspended in 250 μl of 20 mg ml−1 pronase from Streptomyces griseus (Sigma-Aldrich). Worms were incubated at room temperature (~20 min) with periodic mechanical disruption (100x pipetting every 5 min). When most worm bodies were dissociated, ice-cold PBS buffer containing 2% fetal bovine serum (Life Technologies) was added to stop the digestion reaction. Prior to sorting, cell suspensions were passed through a 5 μm syringe filter (Millipore). Cell suspension were stained with Hoechst and Propidium Iodide for at least 30min. GFP+, Hoechst+ and Propidium Iodide- cells were sorted on a BD Influx cell sorter at the Stanford Shared FACS Facility. As a control, the corresponding GFP-, Hoechst+, and Propidium Iodide- cells were also collected. Cells were directly sorted into RTL buffer from RNAeasy kit. Sorting gates were determined by comparison to day 1 adult wildtype N2 cell suspension without any labels. At least 2000 to 10000 cells were collected per sample.

β-Mercaptoethanol (BME, ≥ 99%) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany). (±)-anti-, (±)-syn- and (+)-anti-Benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE) were purchased from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Chemical Carcinogen References Standard Repository (Kansas City, KS, USA). Purity of (±)-anti-, (±)-syn- and (+)-anti-BPDE was ca. 95%, 95% and 80%, respectively, determined by derivatisation with BME (cf. Michaud et al.35 (link)).

Worms were incubated in lysis buffer with gentle rocking for 6.5 minutes at room temperature. The pellet was washed 6× with M9 and resuspended in 20 mg/ml pronase from Streptomyces griseus (Sigma-Aldrich). Worms were incubated at room temperature (<20 minutes) with periodic mechanical disruption by pipetting every 2 min. When most worm bodies were dissociated, leaving only small debris and eggs, ice-cold PBS buffer containing 2% fetal bovine serum (Gibco) was added.

For the catalase activity stability studies, free catalase or catalase-loaded nanoparticles were stir-incubated in PBS with 0.2 wt% pronase (pronase from Streptomyces griseus, Sigma) or in rat serum at 37°C. For the activity stability studies with pronase, at 0h, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, and 24h, aliquots were collected, placed on ice, and immediately tested for catalase activity. For the activity stability studies in serum, aliquots were tested at 0h, 0.25h, 1h, 2h, and 6h. Enzyme activities were calculated as the sample activity at a given timepoint divided by the initial sample activity at 0h.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To isolate muscle cells, samples of semitendinosus muscle were thawed immediately in a water bath and subsequently washed in PBS with Penicillinum crystallisatum. After PBS aspiration, the incubation medium (Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM) (Gibco, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA), Pronase from Streptomyces griseus (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) at 0.5 mg/mL, 10% FBS, Penicillinum crystallisatum) was added. Samples were incubated for 1.5 h at 37 °C with constant mixing. Afterwards, the suspension with isolated muscle cells was sieved through a 70-µm nylon filter to separate tissue debris. The filtrate-containing cells were centrifuged three times and resuspended in proliferation medium (10%FBS/DMEM/1% penicillin–streptomycin and 0.5% amphotericin B (Gibco, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA)) and transferred to Primaria tissue culture flasks (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). The 1-h preplating applied four times finally allowed for achieving 60–70% myoblast purity [16 (link)]. Next, 100,000 cells were transferred to culture flasks. Isolated muscle cells of beef and dairy breeds were cultured in proliferation medium until 80% of confluence, which was changed every 48 h. Then, the cells were trypsinized and centrifuged, the supernatant was discarded, and the cell pellet was frozen for further 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.
