For proteomics, 10 µg of proteins were reduced using TCEP for each sample of cells and EVs at morphine concentrations of 0, 1, 10, 25, 50 and 100 μM (final concentration 5 mM, 30 min, 37 °C) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), alkylated using iodoacetamide (final concentration 15 mM, 60 min, RT, in dark conditions) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and digested by an overnight tryptic digestion (w/w ratio 1:50) (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). The RapiGest surfactant was cleaved by incubating samples with 0.5% trifluoacetic acid (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 45 min at 37 °C. Samples were then desalted on a C18 reverse phase column (Harvard Apparatus, Holliston, MA, USA), peptides were dried under vacuum and subsequently resuspended in 5% ACN 0.1% FA (peptides final concentration of 0.5 µg/µL and spiked with iRT peptide (Biognosys, Schlieren, Switzerland) (1:20)).
For metabolomics, cell samples (morphine exposure: 0, 5 and 50 μM) were prepared based on Meister et al. [15 (link)] work, as described in Supplementary File S1.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One milligram of proteins from tissues, cells, or standard glycoproteins, including bovine serum fetuin (Millipore Sigma) and bovine pancreas RNase B (Millipore Sigma), were reduced and alkylated with 5 mM dithiothreitol (37 °C, 1 hour) and 10 mM iodoacetamide (25 °C, 45 minutes, in the dark), respectively. The denatured proteins were first digested by Lys-C (FUJIFILM Wako Chemicals USA. Corporation) in an enzyme to substrate ratio of 1:50 for 2 hours at 25 °C, followed by tryptic digestion (Promega) in an enzyme to substrate ratio of 1:50 for 14 hours at 25 °C. The enzymatic reaction was terminated by adding 50% of formic acid (final pH <3). The reaction solution was then centrifuged at 16,000 × g for 10 minutes at 4 °C.

N-glycosylation pattern of the Fc-part was analysed by peptide mapping using liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy (LC/MS/MS), as described previously (6 (link)). Briefly, Etanercept and sTNFR-Fc dissolved in 0.5 M Tris–HCl, 8 M guanidine–HCl and 5 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (pH 8.6) was reduced with dithiothreitol and carboxy-methylated with sodium monoiodoacetamide. Desalted samples were employed for tryptic digestion (Promega) at 37°C for 4 h. The tryptic digests were dissolved in distilled water containing 2% acetonitrile and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. The samples were separated using an Eksigent Nano LC System (SCIEX) using a Nano LC column (3 μm, ChromXP C18CL; SCIEX). The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% formic acid in water (solvent A) and 0.1% formic acid in 90% acetonitrile (solvent B). The chromatography was performed with a gradient from 0% to 55% solvent B for 40 min at a flow rate of 0.3 ml/min. Mass spectrometric analyses were performed by using a TripleTOF 6,600 mass spectrometer (SCIEX). Mass spectra were acquired over m/z 400–2,000 for mass spectrometry (MS) and m/z 100–2,000 for MS/MS. The areas of the peaks were integrated to calculate the relative abundance of each N-glycan.

Human platelets (5 × 109 cells/10 ml) were washed with cold PBS and lysed in buffer containing 20 mM HEPES pH 7.40, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 1% Brij 99, and protease inhibitors (HALTS, Pierce). After 30 min at 4 °C, insoluble material was removed by centrifugation at 16,000 ×g (15 min, 4 °C). The platelet lysates were pre-cleared by adding 20 μg of non-immune mouse IgG (Sigma) and 200 μl of Protein G-Sepharose (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) and rocking gently at 4 °C for 60 min. Immunoprecipitation was performed by combining 20 μg of the anti-TSP-1 mouse monoclonal MA-IV and 200 μl of Protein G-Sepharose. The samples were incubated for 16 h at 4 °C with gentle rocking. Immune complexes were collected by centrifugation, washed four times in lysis buffer, and separated by SDS-PAGE in the presence of a reducing agent. Coomassie Blue stained bands were subjected to in-gel reduction, carboxyamidomethylation and tryptic digestion (Promega). Multiple peptide sequences were determined in a single run by microcapillary reverse-phase chromatography which was directly coupled to a Finnigan LCQ quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer equipped with a custom nano-electrospray source. The Harvard Microchemistry Facility completed this analysis on a fee-for-service basis (Miao et al., 2001b (link)).

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.
