Acetylcholine chloride, bradykinin, carbamylcholine chloride, cyclopiazonic acid, DL-dithiothreitol, L-NAME (NG nitro L-arginine methyl ester), indomethacin, sodium nitroprusside, DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), and all required chemicals to prepare physiological solutions were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Oakville, ON, Canada). Fura-2 acetoxymethylester was obtained from Molecular Probes/Invitrogen. Euthanyl (sodium pentobarbital, 250 mg/mL) was purchased from Bimeda-MTC Animal Health Inc, Cambridge, ON, Canada. SKA-31 (naphtho [1, 2-d] thiazole-2-ylamine) was synthesized as previously described [27 (link)]. SKA-31 and indomethacin were prepared as 10 mM stock solutions in DMSO and then diluted directly into the external bath solution. The final concentration of DMSO reaching the tissue was typically 0.05% (vol/vol) or less. In control experiments, bath application of 0.2% (v/v) DMSO had no effect on either developed myogenic tone or arterial responsiveness to acetylcholine and SKA-31 in Goto-Kakizaki cremaster arteries (n = 2) (data not shown).

The aggregates were transferred to uncoated 8-well µ-slides (Ibidi). Calcium transients were measured using the Fluo-4 Direct Calcium Assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Fluo-4 was pre-warmed at 37 °C and loaded into the cells by adding an equal volume to the culture medium present in the well. The cells were incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. In experiments using chemical receptor agonists, isoproterenol hydrochloride (Sigma-Aldrich, Burlington, MA, USA) or carbamylcholine chloride (Sigma-Aldrich, Burlington, MA, USA) were diluted in pre-warmed Fluo-4 solution and loaded into cells at a final concentration of 1 µM. The cells were incubated at 37 °C for 15 to 30 min.
The samples were measured using the confocal microscope previously described with a dry objective 10.0× g magnification (numerical aperture of 0.40), with images obtained at a resolution of 128 × 128 pixels, with a scan speed of 700 Hz, and with frame intervals of 97 msec during 30 to 60 s. Fluo-4 excitation was performed using a 488 nm line with an argon ion laser and the fluorescence emission was collected (500–650 nm) using a Leica HyD hybrid detector. The samples were measured within 4–5 min after leaving the incubator using a heating stage set at 37 °C to maintain the temperature before and during measurements.

Resveratrol (5-[(1E)-2-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl]-1,3,benzenediol) was purchased from abcr GmbH (Karlsruhe, Germany). Carbamylcholine chloride ((2-Hydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium chloride carbamate; carbachol), NG-Methyl-L-Arg (Nω-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride, L-NAME), N5-(Nitroamidino)-L-2,5-diaminopentanoic acid, NG-NO2-L-Arg (Nω-Nitro-L-arginine, L-NNA), 1H-[1,2,4]Oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), iberiotoxin (IbTX), charybdotoxin (ChTX), apamin, glibenclamide, N,N,N,N-Tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA), 4-Aminopiridine (4AP) and tamoxifen were purchased from the Sigma Chemical Company, were purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO).
Resveratrol was dissolved in 70% ethanol so that the final concentration of ethanol was never >0.1%, which did not affect basal contraction. The working solutions were prepared fresh on the day of the experiment by diluting the stock solution.
Stock solutions of carbachol, L-NNA, L-NAME, apamin, IbTX, ChTX, TEA, 4AP, and tamoxifen were prepared with bidistilled water, and glibenclamide and ODQ were dissolved in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO). The given concentrations were the calculated final concentrations in the organ bath solution. All reagents were added directly to the bath fluid containing a Tyrode’s solution composed of (mmol/L): NaCl 139.6; KCl 2.68; MgCl2 1.05; NaH2PO4 1.33; CaCl2 1.80; NaHCO3 25.0; and glucose 5.55.

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.
