| Collection Summary: | Primary microglia were plated at 7x106 cells/well in 6-well plates (VWR #10062-894) and incubated at 5% CO2 37°C. Upon reaching confluence, cells were removed from the incubator washed with warm 0.9% NaCl solution. Culture plates were placed on a bed of crushed dry ice and 1mL of ice cold 50% methanol (HPLC-grade, Sigma #A456-4) was added to quench cellular metabolic activity followed by a 10 minute incubation at -80°C to ensure cell lysis. After removing from the freezer, cells were detached with a cell scraper (VWR #10062-906) and the entire contents collected into a microcentrifuge tube, vortexed briefly, and placed on ice until all samples were collected. The tubes were then placed on a Disruptor Genie Cell Disruptor Homogenizer (Scientific Industries) for 5 min at 3,000 rpm. Tubes were then centrifuged at 20,000 x g for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant containing polar metabolites was isolated to a new tube and stored at -80C, and the resulting pellet was briefly dried at 10-3 mbar using a CentriVap vacuum concentrator (LabConco) to evaporate remaining methanol, followed by determination of protein content via BCA assay (ThermoFisher #23225) to normalize metabolite concentrations to total protein amount of each sample. |
