Steps
Soluble/Insoluble lysate preparation from harvested brainstem/spinal cord tissue
Acquire the tissue from 4-month-old asymptomatic TgA53T (Line G2-3) and end-stage tissue harvest and store at -80°C
prior to use.
Weigh the tissue and suspend it in 0.9% sterile saline (1:10 w/vol).
Homogenize and centrifuge for 0h 5m 0s
at 3000x g,0h 0m 0s
at 4°C
. The supernatant (S3000) is obtained.
Centrifuge S3000 for 0h 45m 0s
at 150000x g,0h 0m 0s
at 4°C
. The supernatant (S150) – Highly soluble fraction is obtained.
Wash pellet and resuspend in sterile saline (half of original volume) by sonication (3 x 10 min pulses). Resuspended pellet (P150) – Insoluble fraction is obtained.
Wash pellet and resuspend in sterile saline (half of original volume) by sonication for 0h 0m 10s
pulses) (1/3).
Wash pellet and resuspend in sterile saline (half of original volume) by sonication for 0h 0m 10s
pulses) (2/3).
Wash pellet and resuspend in sterile saline (half of original volume) by sonication for 0h 0m 10s
pulses) (3/3).
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)-enriched fractionation
Homogenize freshly harvested tissues (1:10 w/vol) in lysis buffer (refer material section).
Centrifuge at 1000x g,0h 0m 0s
and collect the supernatant.
Centrifuge at 10000x g,0h 0m 0s
. The pellet containing mitochondria is obtained.
Centrifuge supernatant at 100000x g,0h 0m 0s
. The supernatant containing cytosol and pellet containing ER are obtained.
