Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dodecafluoropentane (DDFP) from Synquest Labs (Alachua, FL, USA) was used as the core of PC droplets. DDFP has a boiling point of 29 °C at atmospheric pressure. The lipid shell encapsulating the PC droplet was fabricated using 1,2-ditearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC) and 1,2-dioctadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-polyethylene glycol-2000 (DSPE-PEG2000), which were purchased from Avanti Polar Lipids (Alabaster, AL, USA).
DSPC and DSPE-PEG2000 were dissolved in chloroform at molar ratios of 9:1 or 7:3 in a 2 mL clear vial. The vial was placed in a vacuum chamber for 12 h to completely remove the chloroform. Subsequently, a thin white lipid film formed at the bottom of the vial was hydrated with 1.8 mL of distilled water and sonicated using a bath sonicator (Powersonic 505, Hwashin Instrument, Seoul, Republic of Korea) at 56 °C. After allowing the vial to rest with the lipid solution at room temperature, liquid DDFP was added to the vial to achieve a volume fraction of 10% [16 (link)]. Finally, DDFP droplets were created by agitating the vials for 45 s in a Vialmix (Lantheus Holdings, Billerica, MA, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nanoparticles with high fluorine content were prepared by emulsifying Perfluoro-15-crown-5-ether (PFCE, Fluorochem, Derbyshire, UK) via direct sonication, using a ultrasonic homogenizer (Hielscher Ultrasonic GmbH, Teltow, Berlin, Germany). PFCE was emulsified in Pluronic F-68 (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) for 10 minutes on ice (1.2 M end concentration) to generate a basic formulation: Basic 19F nanoparticles (NP). To enrich the basic particles with DPPE (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, Figure 1A, Avanti Polar Lipid, Inc., Alabaster, AL) diluted Pluronic-basic nanoparticles were mixed with DPPE and further emulsified using the same conditions to obtain a final PFCE concentration of 400 mM and varying DPPE concentrations of 2.5–25 μM (DPPE 19F NP). The same procedure was used to prepare the Pluronic-Rhodamine-DPPE (DPPE-Rhodamine 19F NP) and nanoparticles enriched with POPE (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, Figure 1A, Avanti Polar Lipid, Inc., Alabaster, AL). DSPE-PEG2000—PFCE nanoparticles were prepared by first coating a vial with 10 mg of DSPE-PEG2000 (1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N[methoxy(polyethylene glycol) -2000]), Avanti Polar Lipid, Inc., Alabaster, AL) and then sonicating PFCE in the vial for 10 minutes on ice, to achieve a final concentration of 120 mM PFCE and 3.75 mM DSPE-PEG2000.

Thermosensitive Liposomal Doxorubicin (TSL-Dox) was prepared as described earlier [24 (link)]. Briefly 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), monostearoylphosphatidylcholine (MSPC), and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-PEG2000 (DSPE-PEG2000) (Avanti Lipids, Alabaster, AL, USA) (DPPC:MSPC:DSPE-PEG2000 = 85.3:9.7:5.0 mol%) were dissolved in chloroform and dried under a stream of atmospheric air at room temperature for forming a thin film. The lipids were then hydrated with 300 mM citric acid buffer (pH 4.0) and extruded 5 times at 55 °C (Thermobarrel extruder; Northern Lipids, BC, Canada) through a 100 nm filter. Active loading of doxorubicin into the liposomes was carried out by pH gradient with phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.4) outside the liposomes. The release kinetics of doxorubicin from the TSL was measured between 37 and 45 °C by a millifluidic device, as described earlier [42 (link),43 ].
A second batch of TSL was prepared based on the same lipid composition as above, with the addition of 0.1 mol% of Rhodamine headgroup-labeled 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (Rho-DPPE) to produce empty, fluorescence-labeled TSL. This second batch was used to quantify the removal of TSL by the filter.

For in vivo delivery, miRNA was incorporated into pegylated liposomes composed of dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) and pegylated distearoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine (DSPE-PEG-2000) (Avanti Lipids). DMPC and DSPE-PEG2000 were mixed at a 10:1 ratio, and miRNA (control or miR-603 mimic, 8ug miR/mouse) was mixed at a 10:1 (w/w) ratio of lipids to oligonucleotides in the presence of excess tertiary butanol. Prior to in vivo administration, lyophilized lipid/miRNA complex was reconstituted in 0.9% saline. The liposomal suspension filtered and centrifuged.

The lipids 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[amino(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DSPE-PEG2000) were purchased from Avanti Lipids (Alabaster, AL, USA) and liquid perfluorocarbon (perfluoropentane) was obtained from Fluoromed (Round Rock, TX, USA). Lipids (190 mg) were dissolved in chloroform in a molar ratio of 94:6 DPPC:DSPE-PEG2000. The solvent was evaporated, and the dry lipid film was rehydrated with 10 ml phosphate-buffered saline. The lipid solution was sonicated for 2 minutes at 20% power using a Vibra-Cell sonicator probe (Sonics & Materials, Newtown, CT, USA) before adding liquid perfluoropentane (C5F12) at a volume ratio of 4%. The mixture was sonicated at 25% power in pulsed mode (10 s on, 50 s off) in an ice-water bath for a total sonication time of 60 s, followed by 16 passes through 200 nm polycarbonate membrane filters (Whatman, Piscatway, NJ, USA) using a LIPEX extruder (Northern Lipids, Burnaby, BC, Canada). The mean size and polydispersity of the droplets measured using a particle size analyzer (90Plus Particle Size Analyzer, Brookhaven Instruments, Holtsville, NY, USA) was 169 ± 22 nm and 0.17 ± 0.05, respectively. The resulting PSNE solutions were stored at 4 °C until use.

Producing Targeted and Non-Targeted Microbubbles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Both CXCR4-targeted (T140-MB) and non-targeted (NT-MB) MB were produced in-house. The NT-MB’s shell contained a mixture of DPPC, DPPA and DSPE-PEG2000-NH2 (81.9:8.6:9.5 mole ratio, respectively) (Avanti Lipids, Alabaster, AL, USA) (S1 Table) and in the T140-MB, 4.8% of the DSPE-PEG2000-NH2 was replaced by the modified lipid, DSPE-PEG2000-T140 (Fig 1A and S2 Table). These components were dissolved in CHCl3 and aliquoted into 3 mL vials from which the solvent was dried using a N2 flow and stored at -20⁰C. Before use, the vials were reconstituted with propylene glycol, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and glycerol (16:5:1) whilst stirring. After degassing for a minimum of 15 min, the vial was crimp-sealed and the headspace of the vial was gas-exchanged with 99.0% n-perfluorobutane (FluoroMed L.P., Round Rock, TX, USA). MB were formed via standard mechanical agitation techniques using a Vialmix shaker (Bristol-Myers-Squibb, NY, USA) (2x30 sec shaking). Fluorescent MB were developed by adding 2 μg/mL of Dil stain (1,1’-Dioctadecyl-3,3,3’,3’-Tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate, DilC18(3), Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, CA USA).

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.
