MTT Assay for Toxicity Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As(III) (Sigma) and H2O2 (Mallinckrodt Chemicals)-induced toxicity was determined using an MTT (Sigma) assay. HBE cells (4.0 × 104 cells/well) were seeded in a 96-well plate and treated with several doses of extracts for 8 hours, and then co-treated with extracts and As(III) or H2O2 for an additional 24 hours. After the addition of 20 μL 2.0 mg/mL MTT solution, the cells were incubated at 37°C for 3 hours, and absorbance was measured at 570 nm on the Synergy 2 plate reader (BioTeK). All samples were carried out in triplicate for each experiment and the data represent the mean ± SD.

Generating Haploid Yeast Strains with Genetic Modifications

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Haploid, asexual BY4741 cells (MATa; his3Δ1; leu2Δ0; met15Δ0; ura3Δ0) (Brachmann et al, 1998), stored at −80°C in 20% glycerol, were used as WT and to initiate founder populations. Gene duplication events were mimicked by transforming WT cells with centromeric URA3 and KANMX4 plasmids from the MoBY collection (Ho et al, 2009). Each plasmid contained a single gene (BY4741 alleles). Point mutations were individually reconstructed in BY4741 backgrounds using in vivo site‐specific mutagenesis, as described (Stuckey et al, 2011). Strains were cultivated in synthetically complete (SC) medium containing: 0.14% yeast nitrogen base (YNB, CYN2210, ForMedium), 0.50% ammonium sulphate, 0.077% complete supplement mixture (CSM, DCS0019, ForMedium), 2.0% (w/v) glucose and pH buffered to 5.8 with 1.0% (w/v) succinic acid and 0.6% (w/v) NaOH. Except for glucose, all required nutrients were present in excess. Where indicated, the medium was supplemented with 3 or 5 mM NaAsO2 (As(III), Sigma‐Aldrich) or other environmental challenges as described in Appendix Table S1.

Induction of tRNA Fragmentation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For induction of tRNA fragmentation, cultured cells were incubated in media supplemented with 0.5 mM inorganic sodium meta-arsenite (As[III], Sigma) prior to experimental manipulation (2 h for size exclusion, or 1 h for stress granule core enrichment, or 1 h for northern blotting of total RNA).

Adsorption of Arsenic on Graphene Oxide

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A standard solution of As(III) (1000 mg/L As(III) in 2% hydrochloric acid, Sigma-Aldrich) was used to prepare a solution with 25 mg/L of As, from which 10 ml were taken and placed in a flask with 0.0125 g of GO. Once the pH was adjusted to 7 the flasks were placed in the black box described previously, this time one of the flask was covered with aluminum foil to avoid UV irradiance on it. The adsorption experiment was carried at 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours under constant magnetic stirring. Finally, all the solutions were centrifuged for 15 minutes at 3500 rpm and then filtered with a 0.45 and 0.2 μm poliethersulfone (PES) membrane (Whatman). Two drops of HNO3 (66.3%, J.T. Beaker) were added to preserve the solution, according to the ASTM D2972-15 Norm for subsequent As quantification.

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.
