Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fresh Li-Heparin-anticoagulated blood samples were kindly provided by the blood bank of the University of Tübingen. The study is approved by the ethics committee of the University of Tübingen (184/2003 V). The blood was centrifuged at 120 g for 20 min at 21 °C and the platelets and leukocytes-containing supernatant was disposed. Erythrocytes were incubated in vitro at a hematocrit of 0.4% in Ringer solution containing (in mM) 125 NaCl, 5 KCl, 1 MgSO 4 , 32 N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES; pH 7.4), 5 glucose, 1 CaCl 2 ,at 37°C for 48 hours. Where indicated, erythrocytes were exposed for 48 hours to Piceatannol (MedChem Express, Princeton, USA). In order to estimate the impact of Piceatannol on eryptosis due to high [Ca 2+ ] i , erythrocytes were exposed for 30 min to a combination of Piceatannol and the Ca 2+ ionophore ionomycin (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany).

For TCR signaling inhibition, the Syk-Zap70 kinase inhibitor piceatannol (Sigma Cat# P0453) was used. Mice were treated with daily i.p. injections of 500 µg resuspended in sterile corn oil on days −1 and 0 prior to infection. For mTOR inhibition, mice were treated with daily i.p. injections of rapamycin (Sigma Cat# R0395). rapamycin was dissolved in ethanol to a concentration of 2mM and further diluted in sterile PBS for i.p. injection at a dose of 1.5mg/kg per day in 100 µL PBS on day −1, 0 and +1 of Salmonella infection. For glycolysis inhibition, animals were treated with i.p. injections of 400 mg/kg of 2-DG (Sigma Cat# D6134) on day −1, day 0 and day +1 of Salmonella infection. For glycolysis pathway activation, animals were injected with 250 mg/kg Metformin (USP Cat#136309) in 100 µL PBS daily for 3 days and cells analyzed 2–3 hours after last injection. For tamoxifen treatment in inducible Cre-recombinase systems, mice were i.p. injected with 0.8 mg of tamoxifen resuspended in corn oil at time points as specified in figure legends. For LPS exposure experiments, GF or ABX-treated mice were exposed to 100 µg/ml of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium (Sigma Cat# L6511) in drinking water, filtered (0.22µm), for 7 days prior to analysis.

Quantification of Resveratrol in Tissue Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
One milliliter of an extraction solvent consisting of 20% 0.1 M Sodium Acetate buffer (pH 3.8) and 80% methanol was added to each tissue sample designated for analysis. Piceatannol (Sigma) was added to the samples as an internal standard to a final concentration of 0.5 μg/mL. The sample was disrupted using a sonic dismembrator for 1 min, then centrifuged at 10 000g for 10 min. An aliquot of 600 μL was taken from the supernatant and dried using a Speed-Vac system. The samples were then resuspended in 100 μL of the mobile phase which consisted of 25% methanol, 10% acetonitrile, and 1% acetic acid in distilled water and aliquots were injected into a Waters Acquity UPLC H-Class (Waters Corporation, Milford, MA). Analysis was accomplished using the peak area of the fluorescence response of resveratrol and Piceatannol, with the lower limit of detection at 5 ng/mL (0.005 μg/mL). The results are reported as an average of two technical replicates.

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.
