Echocardiographic Evaluation in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We performed echocardiography under inhalant isoflurane anesthesia 1 week prior to sacrifice using a Vevo 770 High-Resolution In vivo Micro-Imaging System (VisualSonics, Toronto, Canada). We used the parasternal short- and long-axis views to obtain 2-dimensional and M-mode images. We acquired at least 10 independent cardiac cycles for each experiment.

Echocardiographic Assessment of Cardiac Function in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Echo analysis was performed in mice that were anaesthetized with gaseous isoflurane. Anaesthetized mice were analyzed via a Vevo 770 high-resolution in vivo micro-imaging system (VisualSonics, inc) with a 30 MHz RMV-707B ultrasonic probe. Left ventricle anterior wall (LVAW), left ventricle posterior wall (LVPW), left ventricle internal dimension (LVID), and left ventricle volume (LV Vol) of systole and diastole were determined on M-mode images. Equations for calculation of ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS) are as follows, EF% = [(LV Vol;d - LV Vol;s)/LV Vol;d] x 100%, and FS% = [(LVID;d – LVID;s)/LVID;d] x 100%.

Ultrasound Analysis of Fetal Hemodynamics

Umbilical artery blood velocity and fetal heart rate were determined using a Vevo 770 High-Resolution In Vivo Micro-Imaging System (VisualSonics) fitted with a 40 MHz transducer. Mice were anesthetized with 3% isoflurane at 2 L O2/min for the duration of the scan. Mice were kept warm on a heated platform (37°C) that was connected to a temperature/physiology monitor (Indus Instruments). Abdominal fur was removed using over-the-counter hair remover (Nair, Church & Dwight Co.). Ultrasound Transmission Gel (Parker Laboratories) was applied to the abdominal area. B-mode ultrasound was used to structurally identify placentas, fetuses, and umbilical arteries. The power-Doppler mode was used to monitor blood flow velocities and fetal heart rates. Images were saved as static images or cine loops and quantified using the vendor-provided software.

4T1 Mammary Tumor Metastasis Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Anesthetized mice (2% isoflurane) with thoracic cavity hair removed with chemical depilatory were imaged using a Vevo 770 High-Resolution In Vivo Micro-Imaging System (Visual Sonics, Toronto, ON, Canada) and a 35 MHz mechanical transducer. 5,000 4T1 isogenic mammary tumor cells/100 µl PBS were loaded in a 1 ml syringe with a 30-gauge 1” needle and the needle tip rinsed with sterile saline to remove external tumor cells. Under ultrasound image guidance, the needle was placed into the left ventricle, tumor cells injected, and needle held within the heart for 4–6 seconds to ensure tumor cells entered the circulation. Nulliparous and involution day 2 mice were alternately injected. Mice were weighed daily and euthanized in a rolling study design, in pairs, one/group, upon weight loss (10–15% of body weight). All mice were euthanized 16–24 days post-injection (Nullip, n=24; Inv2, n=25). Presence of 4T1 tumor cells in liver, lung, bone, and brain was determined using clonogenic assays (25 ). Mice were excluded if thoracic tumors were evident.

Imaging Thyroid Tumor Volume

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane with 1%O2. Thyroid tumors were imaged using Vevo-770 High-Resolution In Vivo Micro-Imaging System (VisualSonics). Volume was calculated by manually tracing the margin of the tumor every 250 μm using the instrument software.

Echocardiography in Anesthetized Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were anesthetized with an isoflurane vaporizer (VetEquip) and attached to ECG leads on a Vevo Mouse Handling Table (VisualSonics Inc.). Chest hair was removed with depilatory cream. Transthoracic echocardiography was performed with heart rate approximately 500–550 bpm using a Vevo 770 High-Resolution In Vivo Micro-Imaging System and RMV 707B scan-head (VisualSonics Inc.). A single, experienced echocardiographer blinded to genotype acquired the images. Parasternal 2D images and M-mode images were acquired to assess LV chamber size and fractional shortening (calculated as FS = [LVEDD-LVESD]/LVEDD).

Thyroid Tumor Imaging in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were anesthetized by inhalation of isoflurane. Thyroid tumors were imaged using Vevo 770 High-Resolution In Vivo Micro-Imaging System (VisualSonics). Aqueous ultrasonic gel was applied to the denuded skin overlying the thyroid gland prior to placement of the ultrasonic transducer. Volume was calculated by manually tracing the margin of the tumor every 250 μm using the instrument software. Genotypes were blinded for volume analysis. Volume calculation for all tumors was performed by the same person (IL) to avoid inter-operator bias.

Echocardiography of Anesthetized Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were anaesthetized with gaseous isoflurane as afore-mentioned. Echocardiography was performed on anaesthetized mice using a Vevo 770 high-resolution in vivo micro-imaging system (VisualSonics, inc) with a 30MHz RMV-707B ultrasonic probe as previously described [21 (link)]. Briefly, mice were shaved on their chests, and then placed on a heating pad in a supine position with their chests covered with ultrasound transmission gel. The ultrasonic probe was immobilized with a 90° angle between the probe and the heart to collect M-mode pictures. The following parameters were measured on the M-mode tracing and averaged from 6 cardiac cycles: left ventricle anterior wall (LVAW), left ventricle posterior wall (LVPW), left ventricle internal dimension (LVID) of systole and diastole. The calculation of ejection fraction (EF) formula is EF% = [(LV Vol;d—LV Vol;s)] x 100%, and fraction shortening (FS) is calculated as FS% = [(LVID;d—LVID;s)/LVID;d] x 100%.

Mice were anesthetized by inhalation with isofluorane (Henry Schein, Melville, NY) with 1% O2. Thyroid tumors were imaged using Vevo 770 High-Resolution In Vivo Micro-Imaging System (VisualSonics, Toronto, CA). Aqueous ultrasonic gel was applied to the denuded skin overlying the thyroid gland prior to placement of the ultrasound transducer. Volume was calculated by manually tracing the margin of the tumor every 250 microns using the instrument software.

Echocardiography was performed by the Vevo 770 High-Resolution In Vivo Micro-Imaging System (VisualSonics, Vevo-770) before and 24 h after LPS stimulation. After mice were anesthetized by isoflurane (RWD, R510-22-4) inhalation through a mask, echocardiography parameters were measured under the long-axis M-mode with heart rate over 350 beats per minute, including left ventricular internal end-diastolic diameter (LVID, d), left ventricular internal end-systolic diameter (LVID, s), fractional shortening (FS), ejection fraction (EF) and other parameters.

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.
