Methods
1.

Extraction of total fOSs from mammalian cultured cells

1) 

 Grow cells of your interest to 0.5 – 1 x 107 cells on a 10-cm dish.

Comment 0
2) 

 Wash the cells twice with 5 ml of PBS.

Comment 0
3) 

 Scrape the cells in 2 ml of PBS.

4) 

 Centrifuge at 1,000 rpm for 5 min at 4ºC.

5) 

 Discard the supernatant.

6) 

 Add 300 μl of lysis buffer and resuspend.

Comment 0
7) 

 Add 900 μl of ice-cold ethanol and vortex.

8) 

 Incubate on ice for 15 min.

Purification of the neutral fOSs

1) 

 Resuspend the dried pellet with 1 ml of water. The solution becomes milky. If aggregates are formed, sonicate until dispersed completely.

Comment 0
2) 

 Centrifuge at 15,000 rpm for 15 min at 4ºC and load the supernatant onto a coupled ion exchange chromatography (250 μl each of Dowex AG1-X2 and Dowex AG50-X8).

Comment 0
3) 

 Collect the flow-through.

Comment 0
4) 

 Repeat 2-(1), 2-(2) and 2-(3) twice.

Comment 0
5) 

 Combine all the flow-through fractions.

Comment 0
6) 

 Load the combined flow-through fractions onto a graphitized carbon column.

Comment 0
7) 

 Wash the column with 3 ml of water.

Comment 0
8) 

 Elute the bound fOSs with 2.5 ml of 25% acetonitrile.

Comment 0
9) 

 Dry the eluate with Speed Vac.

Notes

Complete extraction of total fOSs from mammalian cells can be achieved by a single extraction of the cells with 75% ethanol. Procedures for purification of the fOSs are based on the previous report [ref. 3].

Initial amount

1 x 107 cells.

Produced amount

Approximately 1-3 nmol in total.
