Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chemical standards of malathion, methidathion, diazinon, dimethoate, and their respective oxons (Fig. S1) were purchased from Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Corporation (Osaka, Japan) and were used as received. To avoid any effect of organic solvents on the experimental results, stock solutions of the insecticides (malathion, 29 μM; methidathion, 230 μM; diazinon, 38 μM; dimethoate, 30 μM) and oxons (malathion-oxon, diazinon-oxon, and dimethoate-oxon, 100 μM; methidathion-oxon, 1000 μM) were prepared in a Milli-Q water-based (Milli-Q Advantage, Millipore Co., Bedford, MA, USA) phosphate buffer (10 mM, pH 7.0). AChE (derived from human erythrocytes) was purchased from Merck KGaA (Darmstadt, Germany). ACh and choline (Ch) were purchased from Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Corporation.

Pesticide Exposure Effects on BM-MSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three doses of pesticides were used. The first was the high nutritional daily intake (hNDI), calculated for the French population of all ages and corresponding to the lowest doses of pesticides used in our study. The second was the ADI, which is the threshold of safety in humans for lifetime exposure. The last was a value of three times the ADI (3ADI).
BM-MSCs were amplified as previously described [20 (link)]. Briefly, they were cultured in 150 cm2 flasks (Corning® cell culture flask, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 3 weeks (37 °C, 5% CO2) in α-MEM supplemented with FGF2 (1 ng/mL, R&D system, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and were tested at passages 2 to 4 (2000–4000 cells/cm2). This medium, supplemented with pesticides (hNDI, ADI and 3ADI), was renewed every 3 days. The doses of pesticides used (chlorpyrifos ethyl, dimethoate, diazinon, iprodione, imazalil, maneb and mancozeb; Sigma-Aldrich) were extrapolated, for each pesticide, from 3 values according to previous studies (Table S2) [9 (link),10 (link)].

Planarian Exposure to Agrochemicals

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For each experiment, at least 30 adult planarians were exposed to either IO water or 100 µM of either glyphosate, RR, or RC. This concentration was chosen as it was the highest concentration that was sublethal for all three chemical formulations. As an assay positive control for AChE inhibition, planarians were exposed to either 0.178 µM diazinon (CAS # 333-41–5, Sigma-Aldrich) in 0.5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, Sigma-Aldrich) or to 0.5% DMSO (solvent control). This concentration of diazinon has robustly caused significant planarian AChE inhibition in our laboratory (Ireland et al, 2022 (link)). Planarians were exposed in tissue culture-treated 12-well plates, with 6 planarians in 1.2 mL of the test solution per well, thus keeping the ratio of chemical/planarian consistent with the HTS set-up. Any fission events or planarians from wells with death were excluded from the assay.

Acute Diazinon Exposure in Rats

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After a minimum 5 day acclimatisation period, rats received a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection to allow accurate and efficient delivery of Diazinon. In the cholinesterase activity study, rats received 0, 1.3, 13 or 39 mg/kg Diazinon and in the electrophysiology study rats received 0 or 39 mg/kg Diazinon. Doses were selected to cause <50% cholinesterase inactivation (below the threshold to induce overt hypercholinergic toxicity). Diazinon (Sigma–Aldrich, UK) was mixed with ethanol and Cremophor EL to make a suspension and diluted to the appropriate volume with 0.9% saline (final concentration 1% ethanol, 10% Cremophor EL) [4] . The Diazinon mixture or vehicle mixture (1% ethanol, 10% Cremophor EL, 89% saline) was administered shortly after preparation (1 ml/kg).

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.
