The following plasmids were purchased from Addgene: pGP-CMV-GCaMP6s was a gift from Douglas Kim (Addgene plasmid # 40753)33 (link); pGP-CMV-GCaMP6s-CAAX was a gift from Tobias Meyer (Addgene plasmid # 52228)34 (link); AAV-CAG-GFP was a gift from Karel Svoboda (Addgene plasmid # 28014)35 (link). The generation procedures for ERK1-dTomato construct were described previously36 (link). AAV-CAG-GCaMP6s-CAAX was cloned by replacing the GFP sequence in the AAV-CAG-GFP vector with GCaMP6s-CAAX PCR amplicon flanked BamHI/HindIII restriction sites. pHelper, and pAAV-RC1 plasmids were purchased from Cell Biolabs. RaichuEV-HRas FRET biosensor was kindly gifted from Dr. M. Matsuda (Kyoto University).

PD was purchased from ChemFaces (Wuhan, Hubei, China). Dantrolene, bafilomycin A1, dl-TBOA, CGP37157, PD98059, GF109203X, H89, ω-conotoxin GVIA and ω-agatoxin IVA were obtained from Tocris Cookson (Bristol, UK). 3′,3′,3′-Dipropylthiadicarbocyanine iodide (DiSC3(5)) and Fura-2-AM were purchased from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA, USA). EGTA). Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and all other chemical reagents were supplied by Sigma-Aldrich Co. (St. Louis, MO, USA).

Receptor-Mediated Modulation of Sensory Neurons

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All reagents were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich (Milan, Italy) except anantin, which was purchased from US Biologicals (Salem, MA, USA); ω-agatoxin IVA, which was purchased from Tocris Bioscience (Bristol, UK); and recombinant mouse BNP, which was purchased from Phoenix Pharmaceuticals (Burlingame, CA, USA). The specific NPR-A receptor antagonist anantin, the CGRP receptor antagonist CGRP 8-37, ω-agatoxin IVA, and BNP peptide were dissolved in sterile water and freshly diluted from the stock to the desired concentrations before the experiment. Anantin was applied for 30 min up to 24 h at the concentration of 500 nM to fully block NPR-A receptors.27 CGRP 8-37 was applied overnight at 1 μM concentration to effectively block CGRP receptors.28 –30 (no links found) BNP was applied at the dose of 100 ng/mL or 500 ng/mL, as previously reported for sensory ganglia.23 (link),31 We used ω-agatoxin IVA (200 nM) to selectively inhibit P/Q-type (CaV2.1) Ca2+ channels.32

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.
