JZL184 (neat) was dissolved by vortexing, sonicating, and gentle heating directly into 4:1 v/v PEG300:Tween80 (10, 4, 2, or 1 mg ml-1). Male C57Bl/6J mice (6-8 weeks old, 20-26 g) were intraperitoneally (i.p.) administered JZL184 or a 4:1 v/v PEG300:Tween80 vehicle without JZL184 at a volume of 4 ul g-1 weight (40, 16, 8, or 4 mg kg-1 by the dilutions above). After the indicated amount of time, mice were anesthetized with isofluorane and sacrificed by decapitation. Brains were removed, hemisected along the midsagittal plane, and each half was then flash frozen in liquid N2. One half of the brain was prepared as described above for protein analysis and the other half was used for metabolite analysis. The selective inhibition of FAAH by URB597 was achieved in a similar manner as described above, except URB597 was dissolved by sonication into 18:1:1 v/v/v saline:emulphor:ethanol (1 mg ml-1) and administered i.p. at a volume of 10 μl g-1 weight (10 mg kg-1 final dose). Oral administration was performed exactly as described for i.p. administration, except that the vehicle was PEG300.

For Western blot analysis, 0, 30 and 60 min after the vehicle or URB597 administration, male mice were sacrificed by decapitation, hippocampus was dissected, flash frozen and stored at −80°C. Tissue homogenates from the hippocampus containing freshly added 1% protease inhibitor mixture (Roche, Indianapolis, IN, USA) and phosphatase inhibitors were centrifuged at 7700 g for 1 min, and the supernatant (total extract) was aspirated and stored at −80°C until use.

The supernatant was used to prepare plasma membrane (PM) fractions as described before (Basavarajappa et al., 1998 (link); Basavarajappa and Hungund, 1999 (link); Basavarajappa et al., 2006 (link); Subbanna et al., 2013 ). The nuclear and PM fractions were stored at −80°C until use. The samples were prepared in a sample buffer as previously described by our laboratory (Basavarajappa et al., 2008 (link); Subbanna et al., 2013 ).

The methanolic solutions of the individual standards (URB597, URB937, URB602, URB754, and URB447) were prepared separately in 10 mL volumetric flasks at an approximate concentration of 100 or 1000 μg/mL. Each drug was diluted to a concentration from 0.1 to 1 ppm in methanol. The determination of the exact mass of ionic species in the URB compounds was performed on HRMS experiments using a Linear Trap Quadrupole (LTQ) Orbitrap XL hybrid mass spectrometry (Thermo ScientificTM, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) equipped with an electrospray ion source operated in positive ion mode. Direct infusion of compounds into the MS ion source was performed using a syringe pump at a flow rate of 10 µL/min. The protonated molecules of each compound were isolated in the linear ion trap and fragmented at varying collision energies in order to identify the most abundant and characteristic product ions.

HaCaT cells were seeded into 100 mm plates at a density of 8 × 105 per well, incubated overnight and then exposed to 24 h treatment with LPS at 5.0 µg/mL, positive control Hydrocortisone (HC) at 10.0 μM, pCBs THCV (9.3 μM) and CBGA (13.0 μM) [8 (link)], and the same pCBs in combination with selected eCB system antagonists and inhibitors (CPZ 5.0 μM for both pCBs, JZL184 10.0 μM for THCV, LEI-106 10.0 μM for THCV, URB597 1.0 μM for CBGA and ARN19874 33.7 μM for CBGA). This signaling pathway was analyzed using a C-Series Human/Mouse MAPK Phosphorylation Array, according to manufacturer recommendations (RayBiotech Inc., Peachtree Corners, GA, USA). Briefly, proteins were extracted from HaCaT cell pellets and quantified using the BCA method. Total protein in the amount of 500 micrograms was added into each nitrocellulose membrane well coated with the specific antibody and incubated overnight at 4 °C. The day after, each well was incubated with the detection antibody and Streptavidin-HRP for two hours at room temperature. Chemiluminescent readings were taken using a C-DiGit Blot Scanner (LI-COR Bioscience, Lincoln, NE, USA), and densitometry data were extracted using Image Studio™ software (LI-COR Bioscience, Lincoln, NE, USA). Readings were normalized to the positive loading controls, and the membrane background signal was subtracted. Table S1 shows the distribution of antibodies in the membrane of the MAPK array.

Immortalized HaCaT cells from the original depositor (DKFZ, Heidelberg), which were of Caucasian skin type (phototype), were purchased from CLS-Cell Lines Service (code 300493). In all of the experiments, HaCaT cells were used at the 5th–6th passage, cultured at 37 °C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere in high-glucose Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM-HG) and supplemented with a 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic (pen/strep) solution. For each treatment, after 24 h of cell growth, the cell culture medium was replaced with DMEM-HG supplemented with 1% FBS and 1% pen/strep (Starvation medium) and incubated for 24 h. On the third day, the cells were incubated with the following conditions, according to the treatment of interest: control (DMEM + 5% FBS + 1% pen/strep); LPS at 1.0, 5.0 and 10.0 μg/mL; positive control Hydrocortisone (HC) at 10.0 μM; pCBs at specific pre-calculated concentrations (CBG 6.0 μM, CBC 4.0 μM, THCV 9.3 μM and CBGA 13.0 μM) [8 (link)] and the same pCBs in combination with the following selected eCB system antagonists and inhibitors: CPZ at 5.0 μM [27 (link)]; JZL184 at 10.0 μM and LEI-106 at 10.0 μM [28 (link)]; URB597 at 1.0 μM [29 (link)] and ARN19874 at 33.7 μM [30 (link)].

HaCaT cells were seeded into 12-well plates at a density of 2 × 105 per well, incubated overnight and then exposed to LPS at 5.0 µg/mL, to positive control Hydrocortisone (HC) at 10.0 μM and to selected pCBs at pre-calculated concentrations (CBG 6.0 μM, CBC 4.0 μM, THCV 9.3 μM and CBGA 13.0 μM) corresponding to half of the IC50 values [8 (link)] for 24 h and 48 h. In addition, HaCaT cells were exposed to THCV and CBGA in combination with selected eCB system antagonists and inhibitors (CPZ 5.0 μM for both pCBs, JZL184 10.0 μM for THCV, LEI-106 10.0 μM for THCV, URB597 1.0 μM for CBGA and ARN19874 33.7 μM for CBGA) for 24 h in the case of IL-31 and for 48 h in the case of IL-12. After each treatment, supernatants (medium) of each condition were collected, centrifuged at 4 °C at 300× g for 5 min and stored at −80 °C until the assay. Cytokine quantification was performed using the DuoSet ELISA kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) for IL-1β, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 and IL-31, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, 96-well plates were coated overnight with the specific capture antibody for each interleukin and then blocked with 1% BSA. Standard proteins in duplicate and samples in triplicate were added and incubated for 2 h. The standard curve for each interleukin was generated by using serially diluted standard proteins at known concentrations as provided by the manufacturer, and the calibration curves obtained were used to interpolate sample values. Then, each well with standards and/or samples was incubated with the specific detection antibody for 2 h. The Streptavidin-HRP was added and incubated for 20 min, followed by the substrate solution for another 20 min, and then the reaction was stopped with the specific Stop Solution (1M H2SO4). As for TNF-β, quantification was performed using the Human TNF-beta Platinum ELISA 96 tests (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA). Briefly, 96-well plates already coated with TNF-β capture antibody were incubated for 4 h with standard and samples along with HRP-conjugate. After this period, TMB Substrate Solution was added to all wells for 10 min of incubation and then stopped with the specific Stop Solution (1M H3PO4). Optical densities were determined using an Enspire microplate reader (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA) at the specific wavelengths of 450 and 570 nm for IL-1β, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 and IL-31 and of 450 nm and 620 nm for TNF-β.
