Cyclopentyladenosine (CPA), 5’-(N-ethylcarboxamido)adenosine (NECA), and 8-Cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Munich, Germany. 2-[4-(2-carboxyethyl)phenethylamino]-5′-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine (CGS-21680), 1-deoxy-1-(6-[([3-lodophenyl]methyl)-amino]-9H-purin-9-yl)-N-methyl-β-D-ribofuranuronamide (IB-MECA) and N-(4-Acetylphenyl)-2-[4-(2,3,6,7-tetrahydro-2,6-dioxo-1, 3-dipropyl-1H-purin-8-yl)phenoxy]acetamide (MRS 1706) were obtained from Tocris (Distributed by BIOZOL Diagnostica, Eching, Germany). Stock solutions (5 mM up to 100mM) were prepared in Ethanol (CPA) or DMSO (all other) and stored at –20°C. Further dilutions were carried out in distilled water.

Partial A1 Adenosine Receptor Agonists

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Disposables for tissue culture were from Falcon (Steroglass, Perugia, Italy). Alpha modified Eagle’s minimum essential medium (α-MEM) was purchased from EuroClone S.p.A. (Milan, Italy). L-Glutamine for culture medium, penicillin/streptomycin, amphotericin B, ascorbic acid, dexamethasone were from Sigma-Aldrich (Milan, Italy) as well as CCPA, 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX) and all the other chemicals, unless differently indicated. As for the two partial A1R agonists, namely 2′-dCCPA, compound C1, and 3′-dCCPA, compound C2, were synthesized at the University of Camerino (Camerino, Italy). They are derivatives of the A1AR full agonist CCPA (Figure 1) and the lack of the hydroxyl groups of the ribose moiety leading the compounds to behave as partial agonists of A1R should be noted, as previously demonstrated [18 (link),19 (link),20 (link)].

Pharmacological Modulation of Adenosine Receptors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All reagents were purchased from Fisher Scientific (Fair Lawn, NJ, USA) unless otherwise stated. Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) was used to calibrate electrodes containing (in mM): 131.25 NaCl, 3.0 KCl, 10.0 NaH2PO4, 1.2 MgCl2, 2.0 Na2SO4, and 1.2 CaCl2 with the pH adjusted to 7.4. Sodium phosphate was purchased from RICCA Chemical Company (Arlington, TX, USA). All aqueous solutions were prepared with deionized water (Milli-Q Biocel; Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Adenosine was prepared as a 10 mM stock solution in 0.1 M HClO4 and stored in the refrigerator.
DPCPX (6 mg/kg, i.p., 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine, Sigma Aldrich) was dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). CPA (N6-cyclopentyladenosine) was purchased from Tocris Bioscience (Ellisville, MO, USA), dissolved in saline, and administered at 1 mg/kg. These doses were chosen as large doses that were previously used in the literature [12] (link), [16] (link), [17] (link).

Adenosine Receptor Modulation in Caffeine Exposure

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Drugs used were N6-Cyclopentyladenosine (CPA, a selective adenosine A 1 receptor agonist, 3.35 mg/Kg) and 8-Cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX, an adenosine A1 receptor-selective antagonist, 0.8 mg/Kg) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, USA. CPA was dissolved in 0.9% saline, DPCPX in 5% dimethyl sulfoxide + 1.25% NaOH 1 M, pH 4.0, administered i.p. in a volume of 1.0 ml/kg. Caffeine 0.3 g/L was diluted in tap water via the drinking water. The dose of caffeine (0.3 g/L) was chosen because it produces blood levels in the dams comparable to those obtained in humans after consumption of ~3 cups of coffee by day (Bona et al., 1995) (link).

Dopamine Release Under Adenosine Modulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For pharmacology experiments, two pre-drug dopamine stimulations were collected, followed by perfusion of either 200 nM 8-Cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine, DPCPX, (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis MO) or 1 µM SCH 442416 (Tocris Biosciences, Ellisville MO) for 30 minutes. Dopamine was stimulated to measure if the drugs affected stimulated dopamine release. Next, adenosine was either exogenously applied or mechanically stimulated 2 s prior to the next dopamine stimulation (10 minutes later) in the presence of the drug. As a control, dopamine stimulations were repeated without drug to make sure dopamine is stable over the length of the experiment.

ZM 241385 was purchased from Tocris Bioscience (Ellisville, MO, USA).

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.
