Characterization of V2R Pharmacoperones

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SR121463B is a V2R antagonist and known pharmacoperone that was used in the current study, after being generously provided by Dr. Claudine Serradeil at Sanofi-Aventis and used as received. Other pharmacoperones were identified by us by high throughput screening of a large chemical library [22 (link), 23 (link)]. Several reagents were used as obtained from indicated vendors: 3-Isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), vasopressin (Tocris Biosciences, Bristol, England UK), fetal calf serum (FCS, Hyclone, Logan, UT), Dulbecco’s MEM (DMEM), PBS (GIBCO, Invitrogen). pTRE2-Hygromycin vector (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA), human arginine-vasopressin 2 receptor (V2R; Gene Bank Accession Number: AY242131), Gq plasmid (Gene Bank Accession Number: U43083) [24 (link)]; both plasmids from cDNA Resource Center; www.cdna.org;), myo-[2-3H(N)]-inositol (NET-114A; PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA), vasopressin (8-L-arginine), [phenylalaninyl-3,4,5-3H(N)- (NET800, specific activity = 66.3 Ci/mmol; PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA), and unbound 125-Iodine (016303710; MP Biomedicals, Santa Ana, CA).

Detailed ACSF compositions for in vitro experiments

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two kinds of ACSF were used in in vitro experiments: mACSF in the dissection dish before recording and nACSF in the recording chamber. mACSF was composed of (in mM) 118 NaCl, 24 NaHCO3, 1.5 CaCl2, 3 KCl, 5 MgCl2, 1.4 NaH2PO4, 1.3 MgSO4, 25 d-glucose, and 1 kynurenic acid. nACSF was composed of (in mM) 122 NaCl, 25 NaHCO3, 2.5 CaCl2, 3 KCl, 1 MgCl2, 0.5 NaH2PO4, and 12 d-glucose. Both types of ACSF were saturated with carbogen (95% O2-5% CO2) and maintained at pH 7.4. The drugs added to the nACSF were 5-HTP, clorgyline, pargyline, tryptamine, L-tryptophan, tyramine, L-tyrosine, 2-phenylethylamine, L-phenyalanine, NSD1015 (Sigma-Aldrich), α-methyl-5-HT, octopamine, SB206553, RX821002, GR127935, dobutamine, vasopressin (Tocris) and zolmitriptan (AstraZenica). All drugs were first dissolved as a 10 – 50 mM stock solution in water before final dilution in ACSF for in vitro ventral root reflexes recording and DIC microscopy or in saline for in vivo oxygen measurements and two photon microscopy, with the exception of zolmitriptan, which was dissolved in minimal amounts of DMSO (DMSO final concentration in nACSF was 0.04%). DMSO alone had no effect on in vitro LLR in vehicle controls, as compare to nACSF control state.

Pharmacoperone Antagonist Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SR121463B, a V2R peptidomimetic antagonist used in the current study as a known pharmacoperone drug, was generously provided by Dr. Claudine Serradeil at Sanofi-Aventis and used as received. Test compounds used in this study were prepared at the screening facility and stored as 10 mM DMSO stock solutions at −20 °C in sealed polypropylene plates and these stocks were also used for the orthologous assay. 3-Isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), vasopressin (Tocris Biosciences, Bristol, England UK) and fetal bovine serum (FBS, Hyclone, Logan, UT) were obtained as indicated. The V2 receptor antagonist, d(CH2)5[D-Ile(2),Ile(4),Tyr-NH2(9)]AVP was a kind gift of Maurice Manning (9 (link), 10 (link)) and was radiolabeled using Pierce Pre-Coated Iodination Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and 125-Iodine (NEZ033L; PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA), DMEM, PBS (GIBCO, Invitrogen). pTRE2-Hygromycin vector (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA), myo-[2-3H(N)]-inositol (NET-114A; PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA) were obtained as indicated.

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.
