Pharmacological Evaluation of Drugs on PPI and GPIAS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the pharmacological evaluation of drugs on PPI and GPIAS, animals were acclimatized to the procedure on day 1, baseline levels were tested on day 2 and drug treatment effects were tested on day 5. Mice were injected subcutaneously (s.c.) with 7.5 mg/kg (±) baclofen (B5399; Sigma–Aldrich), followed 15 min after with 10 mg/kg D-amphetamine hemisulfate salt (A5880, Sigma–Aldrich) or 0.5 mg/kg MK-801 (M107; Sigma–Aldrich). For the use of MK-801, we initially tested a 1 mg/kg dose as previously reported in the literature (Arai et al., 2008 (link)), however, mice appeared lethargic and therefore used a 0.5 mg/kg dose, which was tolerated better (qualitative observations). Drugs were dissolved in physiological saline and administered at a volume of 0.2 ml/30 g body weight. The PPI/GAP test was performed 30 or 15 min after the last administration of D-Amp or MK-801, respectively (Figure 1A). Saline was used as vehicle and control treatment.

Dextroamphetamine hemisulfate (D-Amphetamine hemisulfate salt, Sigma-Aldrich,St. Louis, MO, cat #A5880) was dissolved freshly in water and mixed with food at 1mg/ml. Flies were moved into vials with drug-laced food at 9AM, allowed to eat for 7hr and monitored for 24hr spontaneous activity, starting at 4PM.

Effects of Psychoactive Drugs on Risk Discounting

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Animals were trained on the risk-discounting task for 15 days before the effects of d-amphetamine and flupenthixol on risk discounting were assessed. Different doses of d-amphetamine hemisulfate salt (Sigma Aldrich) and cis-(Z)-Flupenthixol dihydrochloride (Sigma Aldrich) were investigated in two subsequent experiments. In the first experiment, higher drug doses (amphetamine 2mg/kg, flupenthixol 0.4mg/kg vs. saline 1ml/kg) were tested; in the second experiment, lower drug doses (amphetamine 0.5mg/kg, flupenthixol 0.25mg/kg vs. saline 1ml/kg) were tested. Drugs were dissolved in physiological saline and administered intraperitoneally at a volume of 1ml/kg. After administration rats were returned to their home cages for 30min (amphetamine), 45min (saline), or 60min (flupenthixol) until behavioral testing. A within-subject design was used in each experiment, with the order of drug administration pseudo-randomized across rats. Drugs (saline, amphetamine, flupenthixol) in each experiment were tested in two subsequent 4-day blocks (see Supplementary Material).

(5R,10S)-(+)-5-Methyl-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclohepten-5,10-imine hydrogen maleate ((+)-MK801, 0.3 mg/kg) and haloperidol (0.5 mg/kg) were purchased from Tocris Bioscience, and D-amphetamine hemisulfate salt (2.5 mg/kg), clozapine N-oxide (CNO, 1 mg/kg), and tamoxifen (100 mg/kg) from Sigma-Aldrich. All drugs were administered intraperitoneally in a volume of 10 ml/kg and dissolved in 0.9% (w/v) NaCl (saline), except CNO that was dissolved in 0.1% DMSO and tamoxifen that was dissolved in sunflower oil/ethanol (10:1) to a final concentration of 10 mg/ml.

Amphetamine Exposure during Adolescence and Adulthood in Rats

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rats were assigned to one of three treatment groups – control, adolescent-exposed, or adult-exposed – such that all groups were represented in each litter. Injections (i.p.) were given every other day during adolescence and/or adulthood as described in Table 1. Those assigned to the control group were given 0.9% saline (1 ml/kg), whereas those in the treatment groups were given 3 mg/kg AMPH (d-amphetamine hemisulfate salt; Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). For the adult-exposed rats in Experiment 1 and both adolescent- and adult-exposed rats in Experiment 2, potential effects of injection experience were controlled by administering injections at both adolescent and adult time periods (Table 1). For all injections, animals were transported to a testing room, given their injection, and placed individually in a clear plastic tub (46 × 25 × 22 cm) lined with hardwood bedding. After 60 min, rats were returned to their home cages in the colony room.

Monensin and D-Amphetamine Substrate Transport

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Monensin sodium salt and D-amphetamine hemisulfate salt were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Co.
The substrate/efflux experiments were performed as described before by [29 (link)]. Briefly, HEK-DAT cells were grown in 5 mm diameter PDL-coated coverslips. Cells were incubated with 0.05 μM [3H]MPP+ at 37°C for 20 min. The coverslips were transferred onto superfusion chambers (0.2 ml) and excess radioactivity was washed out with KHB for 40 min (0.7 ml/min) at 25°C to obtain stable baselines. The experiment was started with the collection of fractions (2 min) as depicted in Fig 2. During the experiments the buffer was switched either to Monensin or remained at control buffer after the collection of three baseline fractions for another four fractions. Subsequently, R-MO or D-amphetamine was added for another five fractions as indicated in the figure. Finally, the remaining radioactivity was collected by treatment with 1% SDS.

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.
