Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Expression plasmid pMGF was in vivo transfected using electroporation. Briefly, animals were first anesthetized, and then the TA muscle was injected with 20 μl of filter-sterilized bovine hyaluronidase (0.4 U/μl in 0.9% m/v saline; Sigma-Aldrich, United States). Two hours later, 25 μg of filter-sterilized pMGF plasmid (1 μg/μl in 0.45% m/v saline) was injected. The use of both hyaluronidase (McMahon et al., 2001 (link)) and 0.45% m/v saline (Lee et al., 2002 (link)) maximizes electroporation efficiency. Immediately after pMGF injection, platinum tweezertrodes (5 mm diameter, BTX, United States) were placed longitudinally relative to the TA muscle, and electroporation was performed by applying 10 square-wave pulses (ECM830, BTX, United States) of 20 ms and 175 V/cm at a frequency of 1 Hz (McMahon et al., 2001 (link)). The contralateral TA muscle was electroporated with mock vector (pcDNA 3.1) in the same manner and served as a negative control. Specific transfection of TA muscle by electroporation and the expression of 6-HIS tagged MGF peptide were demonstrated by in vivo imaging and Western blotting, respectively (Figure 1).

After a culture period of 7–11 weeks (8.8 ± 1.6weeks), three constructs per patient were treated with either culture medium containing 600U/mL bovine hyaluronidase (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, Mo) or a mock treatment of culture medium without the enzyme for 24 hours at 37°C with 5% carbon dioxide. After treatment, the constructs were rinsed in PBS and transferred into 6-well culture plate (Corning, Inc., Corning, NY) containing culture medium and cultured for another 3, 6, or 9 weeks. At the end of the culture period, constructs were harvested, weighed, and evaluated.

Five micrograms of HA of different sizes (high, medium and low molecular weight, which correspond to > 950 kDa, 75–350 kDa and 15–40 kDa, respectively, RD Systems, Minneapolis, MN) were incubated for 1 h at 37°C with SGE (equivalent of 1 SG pair) or LuloHya (10 nM). Other commercial hyaluronidases were included as controls: bovine hyaluronidase (Sigma) and hyaluronidase from Streptomyces hyalurolyticus (Sigma), both at 1 Unit per reaction. Samples were run on a 1.2% agarose gel for 30 min at 20 V followed by 2 h 30 min at 40 V. Agarose gels were stained with 0.05% Stains-all (Sigma).
For hyaluronidase activity specificity, other glycosaminoglycan components of the extracellular matrix were also tested, including chondroitin sulfate B, dextran sulfate and heparin (5 μg/sample, Sigma).

Following the method of Segawa and Takiguchi [32 (link)], proteoglycans were extracted from articular cartilage specimens in 100 mM Soerensen’s phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) containing 1mg/ml bovine hyaluronidase (type I-S Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) and 1mg/ml trypsin (type I, Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) and 0.5% sodium azide for 3 days at 37°C. The solution was renewed every 24 h. Specimens were then fixed with a 2.5% gluteraldehyde (in PBS, 2.6 mM NaH2PO4, 3 mM Na2HPO4, 155 mM NaCl, 0.01% NaN3 w/v, pH 7.2) for 2.5 h at room temperature. Next, they were vortexed three times in ultrapure water and dehydrated in an ascending ethanol series up to 100%). After critical point drying, samples were sputter-coated with 3–5 nm of platinum and examined by SEM (Hitachi S-4800 FEG) operated at 1.5–5 kV accelerating voltage. Areas corresponding to joint surface were selected for imaging, choosing flat, uniform parts, and avoiding any macroscopic defects as well as the territorial and pericellular envelope of surface chondrocytes.

Visualization of Hyaluronan and Staphylococcal Toxin in Tumor Sections

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Prior to incubation with bHs-ST in vitro, sections of PANC-1 tumors were de-paraffinized and rehydrated. Uninduced and induced χ8768-bHs (108 CFU), PBS or bovine hyaluronidase (Sigma) were incubated on tissue sections overnight in a humidified 37°C incubator. Following treatment, specimens were incubated with a biotinylated HA binding protein (HABP, Sigma) at 5 μg/mL final concentration for 2 hours at 37°C. Slides were then washed, incubated with streptavidin-HRP at RT for 1 hr and visualized with a DAB kit (Vectastain). H&E and Masson’s Tricrhome were used for staining. PANC-1 tumor sections, skin and decalcified joints from NSG mice treated intravenously with χ8768-bHs (uninduced and induced). Sections were de-paraffinized and rehydrated and stained overnight with 2.5 μg/mL HABP, 1:100 anti-ST antibody (Santa Cruz, sc-52223), 1:100 anti-pan-cytokeratin (AE1/AE3) or according to H&E and Masson’s Trichrome protocols used by the Pathology Research Services Core (City of Hope). Streptavidin-PE (Vector), anti-mouse-Cy5 (Invitrogen), or anti-mouse-HRP 1:250 were then used to visualize HA, ST or pan-cytokeratin by brightfield or fluorescence microscopy (Zeiss Observer II), in addition to DAPI for visualizing nuclei during fluorescence imaging. Tiling was performed at 5X or 10X, while higher resolution images for ST, HA and DAPI were done at 100X (oil).

Hyaluronidase activity was evaluated spectrophotometrically by measuring the amount of N-acetylglucosamine formed from sodium hyaluronate [52 (link)]. The tested compound and reference control were prepared in concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 µg/mL for the analysis. Fifty microliters of bovine hyaluronidase (7900 units mL−1, (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) dissolved in 0.1 M acetate buffer (pH = 3.5) was mixed with 100 µL of a designated concentration of the compound dissolved in 5% DMSO and then incubated in a water bath at 37 °C for 20 min. The control group was treated with 100 µL of 5% DMSO instead of the sample. The optical density of the reaction mixture was measured at 585 nm by spectrophotometry.

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.
