Horseradish peroxidase (HRP), GSH, NAC, DTT, AA, 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1,4-phthalazinedione (luminol), HOCbl, CNCbl, and 5,5′-dithio-bis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (Ellman’s reagent, DTNB) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Fetal bovine serum was from Gibco (Carlsbad, CA, USA). DDC was purchased from MP Biomedicals (Irvine, CA, USA). Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) was obtained from Paneco (Moscow, Russia). All reagents were of analytical grade purity. Water used for the preparation of solutions was purified USING a Milli-Q system (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA).

Assessing Biguanide Treatment Effects

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CN-Cbl (Sigma Aldrich, Cat# V900445) was dissolved in ddH2O as a stock solution at 15 mM. Metformin and phenformin (Sigma Aldrich, Cat# D150959 and Cat# PHR157) were prepared in ddH2O as stock solutions at 1 M and 0.2 M, respectively. Varied doses of biguanides were applied in this study according to previous studies18 (link),38 (link) and the level of tolerance of tested organisms to the drugs. In brief, 50 mM Metformin was used in the on-plate treatment for ∆nhr-114 worms, and 200 mM was used in all bacterial treatments. The same volumes of ddH2O were used as vehicle (Veh). phenformin at 4 mM was used in all bacterial treatments for feeding Pacdh-1::GFP worms, LC-MS/MS measurement, growth measurement and qPCR. phenformin was used at an optimized concentration, 2 mM, in the Keio Collection screen for feeding Δnhr-114 worms to ensure sufficient bacterial growth. The highest dose of phenformin (5 mM) was used in on-plate treatments or growth inhibition assays to screen for the strongest phenformin-resistant strains. All reagents were filtered with 0.22 μm membranes prior to use and stored at −20 °C.

Synthesis and Characterization of Labeled Cobalamins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Analytical standards of CNCbl, OHCbl·HCl, AdoCbl, and MeCbl were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany). [15N13]-CNCbl was prepared in-house as previously described [8 (link)]. In general, 15N-labeled cobalamins were prepared via biosynthesis using Propionibacterium freudenreichii. The labeled cobalamins were either directly isolated from the cell extracts or further treated with additional chemical modification steps to obtain different vitamers. Papain from papaya latex (EC 3.4.22.2, cat no. P4762, ≥ 10 units/mg protein), α-amylase from Aspergillus oryzae (EC 3.2.1.1, cat. no. 10065, ~30 U/mg), and soybean flour (type I, cat. no. S9633) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany).
Sodium cyanide (≥ 97%) and sodium acetate trihydrate (≥ 99.0%) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Steinheim, Germany). Water (LC-MS and HPLC grade) and methanol (HPLC grade) were obtained from Th. Geyer (Renningen, Germany). Acetic acid for LC-MS (≥ 99.8%), glacial acetic acid (HPLC grade), and ammonium acetate for LC-MS (≥ 99.0%) were purchased from VWR International (Ismaning, Germany). Methanol (LC-MS grade) was purchased from Honeywell (Seelze, Germany).

Quantification of Cobalamin Compounds by HPLC-ICP-MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The different cobalamin (Cbl) standards, Methyl-cobalamin (Me-Cbl), Hydroxycobalamin (HO-Cbl), Adenosyl-cobalamin (Ado-Abl) and cyano-cobalamin (CN-Cbl) (98%, Sigma-Aldrich Germany) were dissolved in water with a concentration of 1 mg Co/mL and stored in the dark. The eluents for the HPLC were 0.1% formic acid (Analytical reagent grade, Fisher Scientific UK) in water (eluent A) and 0.1% formic acid in methanol (HPLC grade S, Rathburn UK) (eluent B). Co standards (High purity standards, UK) for calibration were prepared based on a stock solution of 1000 mg/L diluted with 1% HNO3, conc. (supra pure, BDH UK). A Rh solution (Specpure, Alfa Aesar Germany) served as internal standard. For the sample preparation different organic solvents were used, including methanol (Laboratory reagent grade, Fisher Scientific UK), acetone (Laboratory reagent grade, Fisher Scientific UK), and additionally ultra-pure water (18 MΩ cm). For the liver extraction acetate buffer (pH 5) (acetic acid: extra pure, Sigma-Aldrich Germany), Papain (from Carica Papaya, Sigma Aldrich Germany), potassium cyanide (Fisher Scientific UK) and HCl (Laboratory reagent grade, Fisher Scientific UK) were used. Nitric acid conc and hydrogen peroxide (Laboratory reagent grade, Fisher Scientific UK) were used for the microwave-assisted digestion of liver samples prior to total Co measurements by ICP-MS.

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.
