Dopaminergic Regulation of Th17 Cell Function

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate the function of Th17-cells, CD4+ T-cells were isolated and activated by anti-CD3/CD28-microbeads as previously described [17 (link)].
To assess the effect of dopamine on the function of Th17-cells, samples of CD4+ T-cells were cultured in the presence of dopamine (Sigma, USA) at a concentration of 10–5 M [9 (link)] for 15 min. whereafter anti-CD3/CD28-microbeads were added to the cultures.
To study the involvement of dopaminergic receptors in dopamine-mediated modulation of cytokine production, some samples of CD4+ T-cells were pre-incubated with antagonists of D1- or D2-like dopaminergic receptors (SCH23390 and sulpiride respectively) (both from Sigma, USA) at a concentration of 10–5 M [9 (link)] for 15 min, whereafter dopamine (at 10–5 M) was added to the cultures and stimulation was proceeded.
To study the direct effect of blockading or activation of the dopaminergic receptor, CD4+ T-cells were pre-incubated in the presence of D1- or D2-like receptors antagonists (SCH23390 and sulpiride respectively [at 10–5 M]) or D2-like receptor agonist (quinpirole [at 10–7 M] Tocris, Switzerland) and activated by anti-CD3/CD28-microbeads [18 (link)].

α-PVP, α-PBP, and α-PPP were purchased from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). SCH23390 was purchased from Tocris (Minneapolis, MN, USA). MDPV was synthesized in house at RTI using standard synthetic procedures. MDPV was formulated as a recrystallized HCl salt and was > 97% pure. The purity was assessed by several analytical techniques including carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen (CHN) combustion analysis and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. All drugs were dissolved in sterile saline (Butler Schein, Dublin, OH, USA). Doses are expressed as mg/kg of the salt, and were administered at a volume of 10 ml/kg in mice. Sterile saline was used as a comparison for all drugs for in vivo studies.

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.
