For the analysis of neurite morphology, treatments were performed the next day after seeding the neurons. Treatments were added to the fresh medium when the medium was partially replaced. MSN cultures were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde after 10 days in vitro, after which they were permeabilizated with 0.1% Triton-X100 and blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) before labelled with anti-DARPP-32 (1:400 Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) to identify MSNs. Analysis of neuronal morphology was studied after double labelling with anti-βIII tubulin (1:1500; chicken ab41489, AbCam, Cambridge, UK). Secondary antibodies used to visualize labelling neurons were fluorescent Alexa antibodies (1:500; Thermofisher, Cambridge, UK, A-21206 and A-11042). Labelled neurons were visualized using a Zeiss LSM710 confocal microscope.
Neurite length was assessed using Fiji (ImageJ) software with the semiautomated plugin Simple Neurite Tracer [15 (link)]. The mean and standard errors of the measurements from at least three independent experiments were plotted.

In vitro cleavage of recombinant DARPP-32 WT and T153A proteins by calpain was performed as previously described (Garg et al., 2011 (link)). Briefly, recombinant DARPP-32 WT or T153A (5 μg) was incubated with calpain-1 (Calbiochem) in reaction buffer (50 mm Tris–HCl, pH 7.5, 100 mm NaCl, 3 mm CaCl2, 2 mm DTT and 1 mm EDTA) for various times (1, 5, 10 and 30 min) with or without calpain inhibitors (100 μm zVAD and 100 μm calpeptin). After being incubated for the indicated times, the reaction mixture was mixed with an equal volume of 2 × SDS sample buffer and boiled for 10 min. Samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE followed by Coomassie staining or Western blotting with anti-DARPP-32 (Cell Signalling, Danvers, MA, USA) or anti-GST (Santa Cruz, Dallas, Texas, USA) antibodies.

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.
