Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Drugs were administered 1-month post-surgery to avoid surgery side effects. Mice were allocated to three groups: control (n = 6), Aβ (n = 5), and Aβ + GSK2795039 (n = 6). Injections were made i.c.v. through the guide cannula (1 μl/min) to awake mice. All substances were injected in equal volumes (1 μl) and the guide cannula was closed by a plunger. Mice in the Aβ + GSK2795039 group received GSK2795039 (MedChemExpress Europe; 4.5 mg/ml in DMSO) and oligomeric Aβ1-42 (Sigma-Aldrich, 1 mg/ml in 1.0% NH4OH) on the first day, and daily GSK2795039 further for 14 days. Mice in the Aβ group received Aβ1-42 on the first day and daily DMSO for the following 14 days. Mice in the сontrol group received daily DMSO for 15 days.

Quantifying Parasite Growth and ROS/Cytokine Rescue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the growth assay, parasite growth rate was determined using previously described methods which employ a direct parasite-per-vacuole scoring approach (69 (link)). Briefly, freshly syringe-lysed parasites (MOI 1) were added to confluent HFF monolayers grown on glass coverslips and spun down at 300 rpm for 1 min. After 1 h, the cultures were then washed to remove noninvaded parasites. At 24 hpi, infected monolayers were fixed, permeabilized, and stained with anti-SAG1 antibodies (as above) and then analyzed by fluorescence microscopy to identify the number of parasites per vacuole. One hundred vacuoles per coverslip were analyzed. For ROS rescue assays, HFFs were treated with either 5 mM N-acetyl-l-cysteine (Abcam, ab139473), 25 μM GSK2795039 (MedChemExpress, 1415925-18-6), or 10 μM Necrox-5 (Cayman Chemical, no. 17278) at the time of infection for either 6 or 24 hpi. Cells were then fixed, stained, and quantified as above. For cytokine rescue assays, HFFs were treated with 100 ng of recombinant human IL-4 or IL-6 (Sigma-Aldrich numbers I4269 and #I2786) at the time of infection to more closely mimic ROP16 injection. Cells were then fixed, stained, and quantified as above.

Western blot was performed using the following primary antibodies: anti-human Nox2, anti-human Nox4 (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA), and anti-human β-actin antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA). GSK2795039, a Nox2 inhibitor, was obtained from MedChemExpress (Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA). Anti-human caspase 3 and 9 antibodies (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) and anti-human Mcl-1, Bcl-2, Bim, Noxa antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA) were used to evaluate protein expression. N-Benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp (O-Me) fluoromethyl ketone (Z-VAD-FMK, Sigma, St. Louis, USA), a pan-caspase inhibitor; N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC, Cell Signaling Technology), a ROS scavenger; and ABT-263 (Selleck Chemical, Shanghai, China), a Bim specific inhibitor were used to identify the intra-cellular signaling pathway.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
