AngII was from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). CB13 (1-Naphthalenyl[4-(pentyloxy)-1-naphthalenyl]methanone), compound C (dosmorphin, (6-[4-(2-Piperidin-1-ylethoxy) phenyl]-3-pyridin-4-ylpyrazolo [1,5-a]pyrimidine)), JC-1 (tetraethylbenzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide) Mitochondrial Membrane Potential assay kit and Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore (mPTP) assay kit were from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI). Primary antibodies from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, Massachusetts) for phospho-AMPKα (Thr172) (1:1000, cat. 2535), AMPKα (1:1000, cat. 2603), phospho-LKB1 (1:1000, cat. 3482), LKB1 (1:1000, cat. 3047) and Abcam (Toronto, Ontario) connexin 43 (1:7500, cat. ab11370), CB1R (1:500, cat. ab23703), and CB2R (1:5000, cat. ab45942) were used.

CB13 Treatment in Cardiomyocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CB13 (1-naphthalenyl [4-(pentyloxy)-1-naphthalenyl]methanone) was from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, Michigan). Tyrode’s buffer was supplemented with vehicle (0.1% v/v DMSO) or CB13 (1 μM, 0.1% v/v DMSO). Treatments remained in buffer for the remainder of the experiment. The concentration of CB13 was based on our previous findings in cardiomyocytes in vitro (Lu et al., 2014 (link); Lu et al., 2020 (link)).

Preparation of Cannabinoid Compounds for Behavioral and Physiological Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) (Thermo Fisher, St. Louis, MO) was dissolved in a 1:1 ratio of saline:CFA prior to intraplantar (i.pl) injection. CB-13, AM6545, AM630 and rimonabant (all from Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, MI) were dissolved in vehicle consisting of 20% DMSO (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), 8% ethanol, 8% Tween 80 (Thermo Fisher, St. Louis, MO) and 64% saline and administered via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection in a volume of 5 mL/kg for behavioral studies. CB-13, AM630 and rimonabant were dissolved in DMSO (25 mg/mL) to create stocks that were frozen until use. On the day of the experiment, stocks were diluted with a volume of DMSO to achieve a concentration of 20% DMSO in the final solution. 95% ethanol was then added, the solution vortexed again, followed by Tween 80 and finally saline. For AM6545, the steps were the same as the other compounds used, but the solution was sonicated for approximately 45 minutes to get the compound to fully dissolve (when the solution was clear). For calcium imaging and electrophysiology studies, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (Thermo Fisher, St. Louis, MO) and CB-13 were dissolved in DMSO and diluted in external recording solution.

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.
