Investigating CXCL10-Mediated Signaling Pathways

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cocaine, σ-1R antagonist BD1047, IKK-2 inhibitor SC514, and FITC Dextran-4 were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 was obtained from Novartis. Src kinase inhibitor (PP2) and its inactive orthologue (PP3) were purchased from Calbiochem. CXCR3 antagonist AMG487 was obtained from Tocris Bioscience. The concentrations of these inhibitors were based on the concentration curve study and our previous reports (Niu et al., 2014 (link)).
Cell Tracker Green 5-chloromethylfluorescein diacetate was purchased from Invitrogen. The human CXCL10/IP-10 DuoSet Kit was obtained from R&D Systems. CT-B conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 was purchased from Invitrogen. Neutralizing human CXCL10/IP-10 antibody was purchased from R&D Systems.

Neuromodulatory Effects of Pharmacological Agents

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The drugs used in the present study include Fura2-AM, adenosine 5′ triphosphate (ATP), donepezil, acetylcholine, methyllycaconitine (MLA), BD1047, BD1063, LY294002, U73122, PD98059, KN-62, 4,5-diaminofluorescein diacetate (DAF-2DA), and human recombinant TNFα were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). MSPG [(R,S)-α-2-methyl-4sulfonophenylglycine] was purchased from Tocris Bioscience (Bristol, UK). human recombinant TNFα was diluted with the standard external solution to obtain the final concentration. donepezil was diluted with the standard external solution to obtain the final concentration (5 μM). This donepezil concentration is sufficient to inhibit the AChE activity in both human blood cells and monkey brain samples [23 (link)] or to suppress the LPS-induced NO production in mouse primary microglial cells [21 (link)]. Drugs that were insoluble in water were first dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO; Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan) and then diluted in the standard external solution. The final concentration of DMSO was always less than 0.1%.

Radiosynthesis and PET Imaging of [19F]FTC-146

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Unless otherwise stated, chemicals were purchased from commercial sources and used without further purification. BD1047 for mice studies was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. [19F]FTC-146 (99.1 % chemical purity) reference compound was provided by Albany Molecular Research Inc. (Albany, NY). Radiochemistry and semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed using a TRACERlab FX-FN module (GE Healthcare) with an ancillary HPLC pump (Dionex P680) and UV detector (KNAUER K-2001). Analytical HPLC was performed on a quaternary pump (Agilent 1200 series) equipped with an autosampler, a photodiode array UV detector, and a model 105S single-channel radiation detector (Carroll & Ramsey Associates). Radiotracer doses for animal studies were measured using a dose calibrator (Capintec, CRC-15 PET). Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging of mice was performed using microPET/CT hybrid scanner (Siemens Inveon). All PET data were reconstructed using a 3-dimensional ordered subsets expectation maximization algorithm (16 subsets, 4 iterations) with scatter and dead time correction, and a matrix size of 128 × 128 × 159. Attenuation correction was applied to dataset from CT image.

Cocaine and Sigma-1 Receptor Blockade

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cocaine was added to cultures at a concentration of 10−8 M. The sigma-1 receptor blockade BD1047 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was added to cultures at a concentration of 10−6 M. Both remained in culture for forty eight hours until cells were plated in methylcellulose.

S1R ligands
haloperidol (Halo), PRE-084 (PRE),
pentazocine (PTZ), and BD-1047 (BD) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich
(St. Louis, MO, USA), and NE-100 (NE), PD-144418 (PD), and 4-IBP were
from Tocris Bioscience (Bristol, U.K.). A 10 mM stock solution of
each ligand was prepared in DMSO and stored at −20 °C.

Intrathecal Administration of Pharmacological Agents

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The following drugs were used: Levo-tetrahydropalmatine (l-THP; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA); PRE084 (a selective sigma-1 receptor agonist, Sigma); BD1047 (a selective sigma-1 receptor antagonist, Sigma); gabapentin (GBP, a ligand of the α2δ1 subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels, Fluka); naloxone (a non-selective opioid receptor antagonist, Sigma). The doses used in the present study were selected based on doses previously used in literatures28 (link)34 (link)35 (link)36 (link). The drugs were dissolved in 10 μl of saline, while l-THP was dissolved in 5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) in saline solution. For i.t injection, we used the modified method of direct transcutaneous i.t injection in mice37 (link). I.t injections were made into the L5-L6 intervertebral space using a 50 μl Hamilton syringe connected to a 30-gauge needle. The flick of the tail was considered indicative of a successful i.t administration.

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.
