The intracellular ATP concentration was determined by HPLC [36 (link)]. The cells cultured for 44 h were immediately cooled in an ice bath, centrifuged at 5200 × g for 10 min, resuspended in 6% perchloric acid to a final OD600 of 30, ultrasonically broken in an ice bath and then neutralized with 0.6 mL of saturated K2CO3. The solution was then centrifuged at 12,000 × g and 4 °C for 20 min, and the resulting supernatants were filtered through a 0.22-μm membrane. The concentrations of ATP were determined using an HPLC system (LC-20A HPLC, Shimadzu, Japan) equipped with an Inertsil ODS-SP column (5 μm, 4.6 × 150 mm, GL Sciences Inc., Tokyo, Japan), which was kept at 30 °C and detected at 254 nm. The mobile phase was phosphate buffer containing 0.06 M K2HPO4 and 0.04 M KH2PO4 (pH 7.0) with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The concentration of ATP was quantified by the standard curve method.

The monosaccharide composition was analyzed by HPLC [29 (link)]. 5 mg of NFP-1 was hydrolyzed with 10 mL of 2.0 M trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) at 100 °C for 4 h. After repeated evaporation with methanol to completely remove TFA, the residue was dissolved in 1 mL distilled water to prepare a sample solution. Then, derivatization was carried out by mixing 100 μL of the sample solution and 100 μL of 0.3 M NaOH, together with 120 μL of 0.5 M PMP at 70 °C for 1 h. After neutralization with 100 μL 0.3 M HCl, the mixture was extracted in triplicate by chloroform. Then, the water layer was centrifugated at 5000 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.45 μm membrane and analyzed by a Shimadzu LC-20A HPLC using Shimadzu Inertsil C18 column (4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm, Shimadzu, Japan) and ultraviolet (UV) detector (λ = 245 nm) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min at 35 °C. 82% phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.5) and 18% acetonitrile (v/v) were employed as mobile phase. Similarly, the monosaccharide standards were PMP-labeled and analyzed by HPLC accordingly.

The model solution, containing 20 mg mL−1 L-theanine and 10 mg mL−1 caffeine, was prepared and adjusted to different acidity (pH 1–9) through an appropriate addition of 1.0 M HCl or NaOH. An amount of model solution (50 mL) was mixed with pretreated cation exchange resins (2.500 g equivalent to dry weight) and shaken at 25 °C and 150 rpm for 12 h in an HZ-9201K constant temperature oscillator (Taicang, China). The supernatant was obtained after the mixture was centrifuged at 6000× g and 25 °C for 10 min in a Thermo Sorvall ST16R centrifuge (Thermo Scientific Co., Rockford, IL, USA). The concentrations of L-theanine and caffeine in the supernatant were analyzed by a Shimadzu LC-20A HPLC (Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan). Test was repeated three times.

The contents of monosaccharides, 2-furaldehyde, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), and organic acids in the obtained hydrolysates were determined using a Shimadzu LC-20A HPLC (Shimadzu, Tokyo, Japan) with a refraction index detector.

For the carbohydrate analysis we used a Shodex Sugar SP0810 column at 80 °C, with deionized water as the mobile phase under a flow rate of 0.6 mL·min−1. Samples were neutralized to pH 5–7 with NaHCO3 and filtered through a 0.45 μm membrane filter before injection. All samples were tested three times.

Lipid extracts from cell lines were run through an automated lipidomics workflow using an LC-20A HPLC (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) set to deliver 100 μl sample loop injections into a mobile phase of 5 mM methanolic ammonium acetate flowing at 15 μl/min. The sample column and column oven were bypassed with Viper PEEKsil (50 mm; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) to maintain instrument back pressure limits. Sample lipids were then directly infused through the electrospray ionization source of a QTRAP 6500 hybrid triple quadrupole/LIT mass spectrometer (SCIEX; Concord, ON, Canada) using a spray voltage of 5 kV, a source temperature of 150°C, and both source gasses set to 15 (arb.). Various precursor ion and neutral loss scans were employed to confirm lipid head group, with the detected m/z being indicative of summed-fatty-acyl composition (PC: precursor ion scan m/z 184.2, CE: 39 V; PE: neutral loss [NL] m/z 141.1, CE: 29 V; phosphatidylserine [PS]: NL m/z 185.1, CE: 29 V; phosphatidylglycerol [PG]: NL m/z 189.1, CE: 29 V; phosphatidylinositol [PI]: NL m/z 277.1, CE: 29 V; and cholesteryl esters: precursor ion scan m/z 369.4, CE: 29 V). Instrument blanks were run throughout to ensure no sample carryover, and pooled batch quality controls were used to gauge instrument performance over the duration of the experiment.

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.
