After resting in the recovery solution for at least 1 h, individual hippocampal slices were transferred to the recording chamber, which was constantly perfused at a flow rate of 3 ml/min with artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) containing (in mM) 2 CaCl2, 20 glucose, 4.5 KCl, 1 MgCl2, 125 NaCl, 26 NaHCO3, and 1.25 NaH2PO4 and gassed with 95% O2 and 5% CO2 to ensure oxygen saturation and to maintain a pH value of 7.4. 30 μM D‐AP5 (Abcam and Tocris, USA), 20 μM GYKI53655 (Tocris), and 10 μM bicuculline (Enzo, USA) were added to the ACSF to block NMDAR‐, AMPAR‐, and GABAAR‐mediated synaptic transmission. Somatic whole‐cell recordings from CA1 pyramidal neurons were performed with a borosilicate glass pipette with the resistance of ca. 7 MΩ filled with internal solution which contained (in mM) 148 K‐gluconate, 10 HEPES, 10 NaCl, 0.5 MgCl2, 4 Mg‐ATP, and 0.4 Na3‐GTP. The pH value of internal solution was adjusted to 7.3 with KOH. Voltage‐clamp measurements were carried out using an EPC9/2 patch‐clamp amplifier (HEKA, Germany). The membrane potential was held at −70 mV in voltage‐clamp mode without liquid junction potential adjustment. Data acquisition and the generation of stimulation protocols were applied by the use of PULSE software (HEKA). Data were collected at 10 kHz and Bessel‐filtered at 2.9 kHz and analyzed through Igor 5 software (Wavemetrics, USA).

Whole-cell Patch-clamp Recording of Freshly Isolated Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Freshly isolated cells were obtained from slices after protease treatment as described (Matthias et al., 2003 (link)). K+ channel blockers (100 μM Ba2+, 100 μM quinine) as well as AMPA receptor agonists, blockers and modulators were applied by transferring the cells with a tube electrode to the different solutions (Seifert and Steinhäuser, 1995 (link)). Membrane currents were measured in the whole-cell configuration as described above. The resistance of the patch pipettes was 4 MΩ, the input resistance was determined as described above. The bath solution contained (in mM): 150 NaCl, 5 KCl, 2 MgCl2, 2 CaCl2, 10 HEPES, and 10 glucose (pH 7.4). The pipette solution was the same as for slice recordings. For recordings in high Ca2+ solution, 150 mM NaCl was replaced by 50 mM CaCl2 and adjusted with N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG) to an osmolarity of 320 mOsm (pH 7.4). As for recording synaptic currents (cf. above), CsCl-based pipette solution was used. Recordings were obtained at room temperature. Salts and buffers were purchased from AppliChem (Darmstadt, Germany), kainate and CTZ were received from Abcam (Milton, United Kingdom), Naspm from Alomone Labs (Israel), and IEM-1460, JNJ 55511118 and GYKI53655 from Tocris (Bristol, United Kingdom).

Rat cortical neurons were plated in a 6-well dish with a density of 500,000 cells per well. The cells were incubated at 37°C until reaching a developmental stage of DIV 19–21 DIV. On the experiment day, the cells were subjected to pre-treatment by the addition of 2 μM tetrodotoxin (TTX, a Na2+ channel blocker; Tocris) and 40 μM GYKI 53655 (a selective AMPAR blocker; Tocris) to the culture medium for 30 min. Following pre-treatment, KA incubation (10 μM for 20 min at 37°C) was performed in the continued presence of TTX and GYKI 53655. Control cells were treated with a vehicle instead of KA.

Slices were immersed in recording aCSF (2mM [Ca2+]/1mM [Mg2+]) bubbled with 95% O2/ 5% CO2 and warmed to 34° C and containing 2, 5, 8, or 10 μM GYKI 53655 (Tocris #2555), 0.1–10 μM NBQX (Tocris #1044), 0.5–1.5 μM perampanel (Adooq Bioscience #A12489), or 10μM JNJ55511118 (Tocris # 6278) for 10–30 minutes. Where indicated, the NMDAR-specific antagonists AP5 (20 μM; Tocris # 0106), or MK801 (10μM; Tocris # 0924), or the KAR-specific antagonist, ACET (10μM; Tocris # 2728) were incubated along with GYKI or perampanel. Control experiments were always conducted with slices that had been incubated in the same warmed aCSF solutions lacking drug for the same duration. For drugs that were dissolved in DMSO (i.e. perampanel; JNJ55511118), the same volume of DMSO (i.e. 0.01%) was used as controls (i.e. vehicle condition). Experimental and control experiments were always interleaved and hemispheres were paired. After pre-incubation, slices were placed in the recording chamber and continually perfused with control or drug-containing solution in the presence of picrotoxin (100 μM), unless otherwise stated, at 32–34°C for an additional ~10–15 minutes before whole cell patch formation.

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.
