In Vitro Micronucleus Assay Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the in vitro MN assays carried out in the presence of chemicals that raise the luminal pH of acidic organelles, duplicate cultures were co‐exposed to the same range of nicotine concentrations and a fixed concentration of either ammonium chloride (NH4Cl; 5 mM), bafilomycin A1 (BafA1; 0.9 nM), or nigericin (100 nM) for 24 hr in the absence of S9 on three independent test occasions. Similarly, for experiments conducted on the major mammalian nicotine metabolites (e.g., cotinine, nornicotine (‐/L enantiomer), nicotine N′‐oxide, and 3′‐hydroxycotinine) (the latter three from Toronto Research Chemicals, Toronto, Canada), cells were exposed on two test occasions up to a maximum concentration of 10 mM, except for nicotine N′‐oxide (5 mM due to solubility limitations), prior to harvesting and enumerating the nuclei species.

Nicotine and Mecamylamine Pharmacology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mecamylamine HCl and (-)-nicotine hydrogen tartrate salt (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) were dissolved in physiological saline (Patterson Veterinary, Devens, MA), and the pH was adjusted to approximately neutral (pH ~ 7), as necessary. (-)-Nicotine free base (Sigma-Aldrich) was mixed with a 50:50 propylene glycol and glycerin solution (Sigma-Aldrich). Doses of nicotine for injection are expressed as mg/kg of the base. Nicotine and mecamylamine were injected subcutaneously (s.c.) at a volume of 10 ml/kg. Concentrations for aerosol administration are expressed as mg/ml in the e-cigarette tank, and may not be representative of the actual amount of nicotine inhaled.
Chemicals and reagents for the analysis of biological samples were purchased commercially and included nicotine (Sigma-Aldrich), cotinine (Toronto Research Chemicals, Toronto, ON), nicotine-d3 (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Tewksbury, MA), cotinine-d3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX), ammonium acetate (Sigma-Aldrich), and formic acid and acetonitrile (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, NJ). An internal standard solution was prepared in methanol (Fisher Scientific) containing 48 µg/mL nicotine-d3 and 38 μg/mL cotinine-d3. Working solutions containing both nicotine and cotinine were prepared in methanol at concentrations of 10,000 and 100 ng/mL.

A Cerex 96-well positive pressure processor (Chromtech, Apple Valley, MN) was utilized during sample processing. Dulbecco’s PBS was purchased from Invitrogen (Grand Island, NY) and the rest of the chemicals were obtained either from Fisher Scientific (Fairlawn, NJ), Sigma-Aldrich (Milwaukee, WI) or Alfa Aesar (WardHill, MA) and used without further purification unless otherwise noted. An Eppendorf multichannel pipettor was used during sample processing.

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.
