Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The compound 7, 8-DHF was purchased from Sigma (⩾98%). 7, 8-DHF was dissolved in PBS with 17% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). BMSCs were seeded into 6-well culture plates at a density of (2 × 107 cells/well) and cultured to ~90% confluence. BMSCs were treated with 7, 8-DHF using an optimal concentration of 500 nMol/L, as determined in a previous study, for 72 h.24 (link)
Fresh culture medium was replaced, and the BMSCs were separated into four experimental groups: (1) a negative control (NC) group, treated with medium only, (2) cells treated with 7, 8-DHF, (3) 7, 8-DHF + U0126 group, the cells were treated with 7, 8-DHF and U0126 (selective inhibitor of ERK1/2 signaling, 5 μM, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and (4) BDNF group, the cells were treated with human recombinant BDNF (159 nMol/L, Sigma).18 (link)
Following the treatment period, protein was isolated from the BMSCs for ELISA and Western blot analysis.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tamoxifen (300 mg/kg; Sigma-Aldrich) was administered at approximately postnatal day 70 by gavage for 4 d to induce the inactivation of Myrf in OPCs. Tamoxifen was prepared fresh on the day of administration by diluting it with corn oil (Sigma-Aldrich) to a concentration of 40 mg/ml as previously outlined (McKenzie et al., 2014 (link)). The mice were given at least 3 weeks to recover from any side effects of the Tamoxifen, such as weight loss, before behavioral testing. 7,8-DHF (Sigma-Aldrich) was dissolved in 17% DMSO in PBS. MyRFDHF mice received one intraperitoneal (IP) injection of 7,8-DHF 5 mg/kg, immediately following each MWM training session (seven in total), while MyRF−/− and MyRF+/− mice received intraperitoneal injections of vehicle (17% DMSO in PBS). Care was taken to administer IP injections on alternating sides of the abdomen to limit sensitivity. The dose of 7,8-DHF has been widely used and shown to improve symptoms in a number of disease models (Zeng et al., 2012 (link); Zhang et al., 2014 (link); Stagni et al., 2017 (link)) 5-Ethynyl-20-deoxyuridine (EdU; Sigma-Aldrich) was administered to the mice via drinking water at a concentration of 0.2 mg/ml for 4 d starting on the last day of training.

Modulating trkB Signaling in Adolescent Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male and female mice were administered (i.p.) the putative trkB agonist, 7,8-dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF; Sigma; 3 mg/kg; dissolved in 17% DMSO and saline; Zhang et al., 2014 (link)), or vehicle daily from P39 to 47, overlapping with the end of the adolescent CORT exposure period. This period is marked by significant pruning of dendritic spines on excitatory pyramidal neurons in the mouse orbital PFC (oPFC; Shapiro et al., 2017b (link)). Additionally, expression levels of trkB in the oPFC increase during this time (Shapiro et al., 2017b (link)), potentially facilitating activity-dependent refinement of synaptic connections and stabilizing synapses that are not pruned. This period was also determined based on prior work (Barfield et al., in press ).
The trkB antagonist, ANA-12 (Sigma; 0.5 mg/kg, 1% DMSO), or vehicle was administered (i.p.) daily from P31 to 42, to match the period of adolescent CORT exposure.

Three flavones, 7,8-DHF, quercetin (3,3’,4’,5,7-pentahydroxyflavone) and apigenin (4’,5,7-trihydroxyflavone) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), were tested. The three flavones demonstrated solubility up to 100 μM in cell culture medium. A single copy of the Aβ-green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene was integrated into SH-SY5Y cells (ATCC No. CRL-2266) to create human Aβ folding reporter SH-SY5Y cells (Chang et al., 2016 (link)). The expression of Aβ-GFP RNA increased 28-30 folds with the addition of 5 µg/mL of doxycycline (Sigma-Aldrich) (Huang et al., 2021 (link)).

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.
