Collection ID:CO002533
Collection Summary:Primary microglia were plated at 7x10^6 cells/well in 6-well plates (VWR #10062-894) and incubated at 5% CO2 37°C. Upon reaching confluence, cells were washed with warm, sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Thomas #QZY-11666789001-4L) to remove traces of non-13C media and then incubated in glucose- and sodium pyruvate-free DMEM (Thermo #11966-025) containing 2mM GlutaMAX (Thermo #35050-061), 1% penicillin/streptomycin, and 10mM universally labelled 13C-glucose (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories # CLM-1396-PK) for two hours with either a pro-inflammatory cocktail of 20ng/ml interferon-γ (IFNγ, R&D Systems #485-MI-100) and 50ng/ml tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα, R&D Systems #410-MT-025) or vehicle control. Cells were then removed from the incubator and 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 until use.
