Brains of 9–12-day-old flies were dissected in cold Haemolymph-Like saline solution 3 (HL3) (NaCl 70 mM, KCl 5 mM, MgCl4 mM, trehalose 5 mM, sucrose 115 mM, HEPES 5 mM, NaHCO10 mM, pH 7.2–7.3) and transferred into Nunc Lab-Tek II Chamber Slide (Thermofisher, #154526) with either 500 µL of HL3 or HL3 supplemented with neurotransmitter for 30 min at 25°C. Brains were protected from light during incubations. Neurotransmitters were used at the following final concentrations: Acetylcholine (Sigma, # A6625): 10 mM; Tyramine (Sigma, # T2879): 10 mM; Dopamine (Sigma, # H8502): 10 mM; Octopamine (Sigma, # O0250): 10 mM. For treatment with the translational inhibitor anisomycin (sigma, #A9789), anisomycin was added 20 min prior to Tyramine at a final concentration of 40 µM and maintained throughout Tyramine treatment. After treatment, brains were collected, fixed with 4% formaldehyde in HL3 for 25 min, washed thrice with phosphate-buffered saline supplemented with 0.5% Triton-X (PBT) and either directly mounted in vectashield (Vector Laboratories) to image endogenous fluorescence or further immuno-stained.

ED (99.8%; J.T. Baker Chemical Company, Phillipsburg, NJ, USA) was diluted to 25% v/v with deionized water before use. The fabricated bilayered PLGA scaffold was immersed in ED solution for one minute, and then washed with PBS to obtain ED-modified scaffolds. Tyramine (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was dissolved in 0.05 M of sodium hydroxide to a final concentration of two weight (wt)%; the PLGA scaffold was immersed in Tyramine solution for one hour, and then washed three times with PBS. Untreated bilayered scaffolds served as controls.

β-glucosidase
(1 mg/L, Sigma-Aldrich, Vienna, Austria) was incubated with tyramine, p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, catechin, lignosulfonic acids
(18 and 52 kDa), and humic acids (1 and 0.1 g/L, respectively; all
compounds were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich) in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH
7.0). SinATYR (1 mg/L) was added to the mixture for
samples with TYR activity. Samples solutions were incubated at 4 °C
and β-glucosidase activity has been determined after 24, 48,
72, and 96 h.
4-Methylumbelliferyl-β-d-glucopyranoside
(Sigma-Aldrich) was used to measure β-glucosidase activity.
Fluorescence measurements were performed on a TECAN infinite M200
reader (Tecan, Salzburg, Austria, excitation wavelength: 365 nm, emission
wavelength: 455 nm)77 (link) in triplicate. For
each measurement, 10 μL of sample solution was mixed with 5
μL of 10 mM 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-d-glucopyranoside
(dissolved in 100% 2-methoxyethanol). The solution was filled up to
200 μL with H2O and adjusted to 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH
7.0). As a control sample, β-glucosidase (1 mg/L) was incubated
at 4 °C in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.0) without additional phenolics.

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.
