Synthesis and Analysis of MAPS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MAPS was synthesized in Bielefeld as previously described [10] . The synthetic procedure is easy, not expensive and very little time consuming. One needs only to be careful and work under inert atmosphere. MAPS samples should be stored under inert atmosphere to prevent slow degradation to PS. A solution of MAPS was prepared 10 -3 M in acetonitrile. Sample solutions for ESI analysis were further diluted to 5×10 -7 M in the selected solvent or solvent mixture. Solvents (HPLC-MS grade) and other chemicals (e.g. ammonia and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Milan, Italy). Any other additive was used at 10 -6 M concentration in the solutions for ESI analysis.

For metabolic flux experiments, 13C-palmitate tracing was conducted using LC/MS at LipidALL Technologies. Cells (1 × 107) were incubated for 8 h at 37 °C in RPMI-1640 medium with 10% FBS. For 13C-palmitate incorporation in metabolites, cells were incubated in growth medium with 50 μM [U-13C] palmitate for 24 h. Then, cells were quickly washed with 1×PBS and fixed with pre-cooled methanol (HPLC-MS grade, Millipore) for 30 min at −80 °C. The extraction method was referenced to a previous paper, but with modification [52 (link)]. Samples were incubated for 30 min at 1500 rpm and 4 °C and then centrifuged for 10 min at 12,000 rpm and 4 °C. The supernatant fractions were placed into clean 1.5-ml centrifuge tubes and dried using a SpeedVac. The dried extracts were dissolved with 50% acetonitrile in water and the upper layer liquids were collected for LC–MS analysis. The InfinityLab Poroshell 120 HILIC-Z column (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 2.7 μm, Agilent Technologies, Germany) was used in this study. Ultra-performance Liquid Chromatography (Agilent 1290 II, Agilent Technologies, Germany) coupled to the Quadrupole-TOF MS 5600 Triple TOF Plus, AB SCIEX, Singapore) was used to acquire metabolome data.

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.
