Insect cells expressing full length Atg9 were lysed by passing the cell suspension through an EmulsiFlex. The lysate was cleared using a low speed spin (9000 g for 30 minutes), followed by centrifugation of the resulting supernatant at 40,000 rpm for 1 hour (Ti-45 rotor; Beckman). Pelleted membranes were resuspended in solubilization buffer (50 mM Tris HCl pH 8.0, 300 mM NaCl, 5% glycerol, 2 mM DTT) containing 1% n-Dodecyl-β-D-Maltopyranoside (DDM). The sample was incubated for 4 hours at 4°C before centrifuging at 40,000 rpm for 1 hour (Ti-45 rotor; Beckman). The supernatant was loaded onto a StrepTactin column pre-equilibrated in wash buffer (50 mM Tris HCl pH 8.0, 300 mM NaCl, 2 mM DTT containing either 0.6 mM DDM or 0.6 mM Lauryldimethylamine-N-Oxide (LDAO)). The column was washed with 10 CV of wash buffer and the protein was eluted using wash buffer containing 2.5 mM desthiobiotin. StrepTactin elutions were concentrated and used directly.

Ribosomes were prepared from the archaeon S. acidocaldarius (Sac) DSM639, as follows. Cells were initially grown at 75°C and pH 3.5. To obtain Sac ribosomes, 2g samples of cell pellets were harvested and resuspended in 30 ml of buffer A (25 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.5, 100 mM NH4Cl, and 10.5 mM MgCl2) at 4°C, lysed twice (18 kPa; ConstantSystem), and centrifuged at 16,300g (HITACHI R20A2) for 40 min. The supernatants thus obtained were loaded onto a 37.7% sucrose cushion (20 mM Tris–HCl pH 7.5, 37.7% sucrose, 100 mM NH4Cl, and 10.5 mM MgCl2) and centrifuged in a Ti45 rotor (Beckman) at 167,900g for 21 h at 4°C. Subsequently, the pellets were suspended in buffer A, loaded onto a 10–35% sucrose gradient, and spun in an SW32 rotor (Beckman) at 68,300g for 13 h at 4°C. Fractions containing the 30S subunits were collected using a Biocomp Piston Gradient Fractionator and pelleted separately after centrifugation in a Ti45 rotor (Beckman) at 167,900g for 17 h at 4°C. Finally, the pellets were suspended in buffer B (25 mM HEPES KOH pH 7.5, 100 mM NH4Cl, 10 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM DTT), flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80°C until further use.

Crude membranes from High Five insect cells (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) expressing wild-type (WT)–hP-gp, or its double mutant EQ–hP-gp (E556Q/E1201Q), with a 6-histidine tag at the C-terminal end were isolated as described previously (Kerr et al., 2001 (link)). The membranes (150–250 mg of protein) were solubilized by using 2% n-dodecyl β-d-maltoside in a buffer containing 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 15% glycerol, 5 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 20 mM imidazole, and UltraCruz EDTA-free protease inhibitor cocktail tablets (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX). The solubilized extract was centrifuged at 38,000 rpm (Ti-45 rotor; Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA) for 45 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was incubated with Ni-NTA resin (Qiagen Inc., Valencia, CA) pre-equilibrated in solubilization buffer with 0.09% n-dodecyl β-d-maltoside for 14–16 hours at 4°C. The beads were washed and P-gp was eluted with the same buffer containing 300 mM imidazole. Fab isolated from UIC2 monoclonal antibody was then added at a molar ratio of P-gp:Fab (1:3) and incubated at 4°C for 15 minutes. The hP-gp–Fab complex was centrifuged at 300,000 × g for 45 minutes. The complex formation was evaluated on native PAGE 4–16% Bis-Tris protein gels (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA).

Cell culture media was harvested from adMSCs, grown initially in the presence of 10% foetal bovine serum (FBS) and without FBS for the last 12 h. After 12 h, cells and debris were removed by centrifugation at 350×g for 10 min and 2000×g for 30 min. For ultracentrifugation, the samples were pre-enriched at 100,000×g for 70 min at 4 °C using a Ti45 rotor (Beckman) and Beckman ultracentrifugation tubes (355622) on a Beckman Optima XPN-100. For precipitation, Total Exosome Isolation kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) was added to the cell and debris-free cell medium (1:2 with exosome isolation reagent and cell medium, respectively). Cell medium and the exosome isolation reagent were mixed by brief vortexing and incubated at 4 °C overnight before centrifugated at 4 °C at 10,000×g for 1 h. The pellet containing pre-enriched exosomes was resuspended in PBS [39 ].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Each saliva sample was diluted 1:1 with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) prior to proceed to SEV isolation following the experimental workflow shown in Figure 1B. As reported, the saliva samples were centrifuged at 300× g for 5 min at 30 °C to eliminate the cells. Then, the supernatant was centrifugated at 3000× g for 15 min at 4 °C, and further at 10,000× g for 30 min at 4 °C to eliminate cell debris, other contaminants, and M/LEVs as well. Finally, the supernatant was filtered through a 0.45 μm VWR® Vacuum Filtration System (VWR International, West Chester, PA, USA), before ultracentrifugation (Ti70 or Ti45 rotor, Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA) at 100,000× g for 70 min at 4 °C to pellet the SVEs, which were finally resuspended in 100 µL PBS.
In order to improve the protein amount and also to minimize the individual-to-individual differences, the SEV pellets isolated from saliva samples (S/SEVs) of the same group were pooled. Thus, subsequent analyzes were carried out on three types of pooled samples: (a) S/SEV OSCC_FREE; (b) S/SEV OSCC_NLNM; and (c) S/SEV OSCC_LNM.

hESCs and hiPSCs were cultured in ncTarget medium (cat. no. RP01020; Nuwacell. Ltd, China), while the 3rd generation of hUC-MSCs were cultured in serum-free ncMission hMSC medium (cat. no. RP02010; Nuwacell. Ltd, China). Next, 350 mL of the supernatant of cells in the logarithmic growth phase (~ 80% confluency) was collected for exosome purification. The exosomes were extracted in accordance with a series of recognized centrifugation and ultracentrifugation, as previously described [34 (link), 52 (link)]. Briefly, the conditioned media (CM) were collected and subjected to gradient centrifugation (300 × g for 10 min, 2000 × g for 15 min, 10, 000 × g for 30 min) to separate cell debris. Exosomes were pelleted from the collected supernatants at 100, 000 × g for 70 min using a Ti45 rotor (Beckman Coulter, USA). They were then resuspended in PBS for the next filtration using a 0.22-μm MF-Millipore Membrane filter (Sigma, USA). The filtrate was subjected to ultracentrifugation at 100, 000 × g for 70 min. The final exosome pellet was resuspended in PBS for the next analysis. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) system (Wyatt Technology, USA) was used to measure the concentration and size of the isolated exosomes.

The human mast cell line HMC-1 (Dr. Joseph Butterfield, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA) and the erythroleukemic cell line TF-1 (ATCC: CRL-2003) were cultured in a 37°C humidified incubator with 5% CO2. HMC-1 was cultured in Iscove's Modified Dulbecco's Medium (IMDM), while TF-1 was cultured in RPMI-1640. Both media were supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 units/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, and 2 mM L-glutamine. In addition, the medium for HMC-1 also contained 1.2 mM α-thioglycerol and the medium for TF-1 was supplemented with 5 ng/mL granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) (all reagents were from Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA).
To eliminate serum exosomes, the FBS was ultracentrifuged (Ti45 rotor, Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA) for 18 hours at 120,000 × g (average) prior to use in cultures.
The cell viability was calculated using the trypan blue dye method.

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.
