Stock solution of capsaicin (Sigma-Aldrich) was prepared at 10 mM in ethanol, and stock solutions of 1-bromo-3-(S)-hydroxy-4-(palmitoyloxy)butyl phosphonate (BrP-LPA; Echelon Biosciences; part L-7416) at 1 mM and tetrapentylammonium (TPA; Sigma-Aldrich; part 258962) at 200 mM were prepared in deionized water. Lysophosphatidic acid 18:1 (Avanti Polar Lipids; part 857130), LPA 18:0 (Avanti Polar Lipids; part 857128), and lysophosphatidylcholine 18:1 (LPC; Sigma-Aldrich; part L-1881) stocks were prepared at a concentration of 10 mM by dissolving the lipids in DMEM with 1% BSA. Stocks for LPA and LPC were vortexed 10 min, incubated 1 h at 37°C, and sonicated with a Branson 1510 bath ultrasonicator at 40 KHz for 15 min before being aliquoted and frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −70°C. Before using the aliquots for electrophysiological experiments, these were vortexed to thaw and incubated at 37°C for 20 min. The reagents were diluted to the desired concentration in recording solution.

TRPV1-Mediated Pain Behavior Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The behavioral experiments were conducted between 9 am and 4 pm and were in accordance with the ethics guidelines of the International Association for the Study of Pain (59 (link)). Male and female WT TRPV1 and TRPV1K710N mice, at 10–20 weeks of age, were acclimated to this environment for 15 minutes prior to starting the experiment. The doses of Capsaicin and Brp-LPA used to trigger pain behaviors in this study were based on prior literature (19 (link), 60 (link)). Capsaicin (1.5 μg/paw in 20 μL, MilliporeSigma), Brp-LPA (4.1 μg/paw in 20 μL, Echelon Biosciences), or the corresponding vehicle (0.25% ethanol in saline or saline alone, respectively) was administered intraplantarly. Furthermore, the V1-cal peptide (1 μg/paw in 20 μL, GenScript) or TAT47–57 (1 μg/paw in 20 μL, Genscript) was administrated intraplantarly 15 minutes before Capsaicin or Brp-LPA injection. Immediately after injection, nociceptive behavior (paw-licking and flinching) was quantified for 5 minutes immediately after injection (19 (link), 61 (link)). Paw thickness was also measured 20 minutes after Capsaicin injection using a digital caliper placed near the injection site. Each measurement was repeated 3 times. The observer was blinded to the mouse genotype.

Immunotherapy and Lipid Signaling Inhibition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Anti–PD-1 and anti–PD-L1 antibodies were purchased from Bio X Cell (clone RMP1-14 and clone 10F.9G2, respectively), and treatments were given once weekly via i.p. injection at 200 μg/treatment in 100 μL total volume. PF-8380 was purchased from Selleckchem and dissolved in 1% CMC-Na plus 0.9% NaCl. Mice were dosed orally daily at 50 mg/kg in 100 μL. BrP-LPA was purchased from Echelon Biosciences and was dissolved in sterile 0.9% saline. Treatments were given at 1 mg/mL twice weekly via 100 μL i.p. injection. AS2717638 was purchased from MedChemExpress and was dissolved in the following: 10% DMSO plus 40% PEG300 plus 5% Tween-80 plus 45% saline. Mice were treated orally daily at 10 mg/kg in 100 μL. For syngeneic tumor experiments, treatments were started after palpable tumor formation at 1 week after implantation. For GEMM treatments, once lung tumors were confirmed by CT scanning, mice were randomly enrolled into treatment arms and treated for 4 weeks. The pretreatment CT image was used for baseline measurements, and the week 4 image was used as the endpoint measurement. The percentage difference between these time points was calculated for each mouse. In vitro drug treatment information can be found in Supplemental Methods.

UCB CD34+ cells were suspended in X-Vivo medium, i.e., 2 × 105 cells per well of a 96-well plate containing 200 μL of X-Vivo medium supplemented with one of the following antagonists: MK2206 (3 μM, Selleckchem), PD98059 (60 μM, CaymanChem, Michigan, USA), GW9662 (50 μM, Calbiochem), Y-2762/ROCK (50 μM, Calbiochem), Ki16425 (10 μM, Selleckchem) or 1-Bromo-3(S)-hydroxy-4-(palmitoyloxy)butyl]phosphonate (BrP-LPA) (1.5 μM, Echelon Biosciences Inc.). After 10 min of incubation, LPA 100 μM (in 0.01% DMSO X-Vivo) was added and the cells incubated in normoxia (21% O2, 5% CO2, 37 °C) conditions for 1 h. Then, the plates were incubated in hypoxic (0.5% O2, 5% CO2, 37 °C) conditions for 24 h. Antagonists and LPA were maintained in the culture medium during the 24 h period. Cell survival was determined by annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) as described before.

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.
