Background

Sodium Selenate (Na2Se04) activates PP2A (1).

CTA and Selenate experiments show that male Sprague Dawley rats given systemic injections of 0.5mg/kg sodium selenate two hours before taste aversion conditioning form attenuated taste aversions that extinguish rapidly. Selenate also decreases LiCl-induced phospho-MAP kinase in the NTS and lateral PBN.

This experiment will use LCMS to identify differences in protein phosphorylation in the brain two hours after rats receive 0.5mg/kg selenate vs vehicle.

Agenda

07/15/2023 - Tissue Collection: 10 rats (5 males, 5 females) were overdosed with euthasol and rapidly decapitated two hours after receiving 1ml/kg i.p. injections of 0.5mg/kg sodium selenate or vehicle (0.15M NaCl). Brains were dissected and washed in ice-cold PP2A storage buffer (50mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 0.1mM EDTA, 0.1mM EGTA, 1mM DTT, 250mM Sucrose, 0.1%(v/v) N-PER detergent, 1 Pierce protease inhibitor mini tablet per 10mL solution), and frozen at -80*C.

  • Dounce homogenization: 50-60 strokes on ice
  • The homogenate was centrifuged at 100,000 x g, 4°C for 1 hour

  • pipette/mix 5x
  • Pulse 5 sec
  • Incubate in 37 deg C water bath for 60 mins

Alkylation

  • Add 10 uL of 20mM iodoacetamide stock solution to each sample
  • Vortex 2 seconds
  • Pulse 5 seconds
  • Incubate in 37 deg C water bath for 20 mins
  • Add 400 uL water to each sample → ~500 uL final volume

Digestion

  • Reconstitute 20ug Trypsin (Promega #V5111) by adding 200 ul of supplied buffer → [final] = 1ug/10ul trypsin
  • Add enough trypsin for a 1:20 ratio of trypsin:protein
  • Incubate all samples in 37°C water bath overnight

Next day:

  • Remove samples from water bath
  • Quench with 2.6 uL of 10% Formic Acid
  • Store at -20°C

Final sample

  • Total number of samples = 17
  • 09A, 09B, and 10B were excluded from this batch due to possible cross-contamination

  • Final volume = ~500uL per sample
