Drugs were purchased from either Sigma-Chemical Company (ARL67156, ATP, adenosine, EHNA, TNP-ATP, suramin, ADPβS, PPADS, apyrase, hexamethonium, adenosine deaminase, NF279) or Tocris (α,β-Me-ATP, MRS1220, MRS2179, SB218795) and 1–10mM stocks were dissolved in distilled water or DMSO (final concentration ≤0.1%) and diluted into Krebs buffer. Drugs > 0.2mM concentrations were adjusted for pH if needed.

Enteric Glia Modulate Colonic Tachykininergic Contractions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The first set of experiments was performed to examine the role of enteric glia in colonic tachykininergic NK1-mediated contractions. Contractions were recorded from colonic preparations maintained in Krebs solution containing 100 μM Nω-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME), 10 μM guanethidine, 1 μM atropine, 1 μM GR159897 (NK2 receptor antagonist), and 1 μM SB218795 (NK3 receptor antagonist), either in the absence or presence of the selective gliotoxin fluorocitrate (FC, 50 µΜ, Sigma-Aldrich F9634). FC is widely used to inhibit the tricarboxylic acid enzyme aconitase, determining the pharmacological blockade of glial cells through an alteration of their energy-dependent processes [22 (link),23 (link)].
The second and third series aimed at investigating the effects of BAY60-6583 (A2BR agonist, Sigma-Aldrich SML1958) and MRS1754 (A2BR antagonist, Tocris 2752) in the absence or presence of FC. Electrically evoked contractions were recorded from colonic preparations maintained in Krebs solution containing 100 μM L-NAME, 10 μM guanethidine, 1 μM atropine, 1 μM GR159897, 1 μM SB218795, and 1 μM BAY60-6583 or 10 nM MRS1754, either in the absence or presence of 50 µΜ FC. Concentrations were selected in accordance with previous studies [9 (link),21 (link)].

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.
