6-OHDA and Rotenone Assays in C. elegans

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
6-OHDA assay was performed as previously described.54 (link) Metabolite- and EtAc-treated L4 worms (BY200) were washed with ddH2O three times, and treated with 30 mM 6-OHDA (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) containing 1 mM ascorbic acid, followed by gentle agitation for 1 h. Subsequently, the worms were again washed and put onto freshly made metabolite or EtAc plates until analysis. For rotenone assay, BY200 worms were exposed to the metabolite or EtAc until L4 and then transferred to plates containing metabolite, along with 5 μM of rotenone or DMSO (as a solvent control for rotenone).

Unilateral 6-OHDA Striatal Lesion Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were anesthetized with 2% isoflurane and secured on a stereotactic frame. 6-Hydroxydopamine (6OHDA; 2547; Tocris) was dissolved in a 0.2% ascorbic acid saline solution. A 0.2% ascorbic acid saline solution was used as vehicle control. WT mice received a unilateral injection of 6OHDA or vehicle control in the striatum. The striatum coordinate used for stereotaxic injection was AP = 0.7 ML = − 2.0 DV = − 2.0 mm. A total of 5 μg of 6OHDA in 2 μL was injected in the striatum at a rate of 0.5 μL/min with a 33G nanofil blunt needle (NF33BL-2, World Precision Instruments) connected to FEP tubbing and a 25 μL Hamilton syringe. After 6OHDA infusion, the nanofil blunt needle was left in place for 5 min. Four weeks after injection, mice were PBS and 4% PFA perfused for immunohistochemistry analysis.

Mice (3 to 4 mo old, 25 to 30 g) were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital and stabilized in a stereotaxic frame (RWD Life Science). They were then subjected to unilateral 6-OHDA (0.3 µL, 15 µg/µL; Tocris) microinjection into the MFB, viral vector delivery (0.3 µL), optical fiber implantation, and transsynaptic neuronal tracing (WGA 0.1 µL, 1 µg/µL; Thermo Fisher Scientific). Details are provided in SI Appendix.

6-OHDA Lesion and L-Dopa Treatment Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Under isoflurane anesthesia, the mice were placed in a stereotaxic frame (David Kopf Instruments) and maintained throughout surgery using 1–2% isoflurane. Bilateral internal cannulas (Plastics One), for delivery of 6-OHDA to the median forebrain bundle, were positioned ±1.1 mm lateral and −5.0 mm ventral and were implanted 0.8 mm posterior to Bregma). 6-OHDA (Tocris 2547) was prepared at a concentration of 5 μg/μL in 0.9% NaCl containing 0.01% ascorbate (w/v) for bilateral depletions. Injections were performed using a 33-gauge cannula (Plastics One) attached to a 10 μL Hamilton syringe within a syringe pump running at 0.5 μL/min, to a total volume of 1 μL/side. The injection cannula was left in place for 5 min following the injection. Following recovery, beginning the day following surgery, mice were administered either L-Dopa (6.25 mg/kg, i.p, Sigma, D1507), a combination of L-Dopa (6.25 mg/kg, i.p.) and benserazide hydrochloride (10 mg/kg, i.p. Sigma, B7283), or saline alone once a day for 5 days. All compounds were dissolved in 0.9% saline.

6-OHDA Lesioning in C57BL/6J Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In a separate group C57BL/6J (n = 11), and one Vgat-IRES-Cre mouse (Slc32a1 were injected with 1 μl of 6-OHDA into the medial forebrain bundle (−1.2 AP, 1.2 ML, −4.75 DV) using the procedure described in Lundblad et al. (2004) (link). Briefly, 0.02% ascorbic acid was added to a sterile saline solution (NaCl, 0.9% w/v) and 6-OHDA HCl powder (6-OHDA from Sigma or 6-OHDA hydrobromide from Tocris) was then dissolved to produce a final 6-OHDA concentration of 4.44 mg/ml. This method produced strong nigrostriatal lesioning as verified histologically through TH antibody staining (see immunohistochemistry below).

Erastin, RSL3, ML210 and 6-OHDA were purchased from Tocris (Minneapolis MN, USA). Rotenone, deferiprone (DFP), M30, reduced glutathione (GSH, desferrioxamine, (DFX), and 2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanesulfonic acid (DMPS) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis MO, USA). 10mM Stock solutions were prepared in DMSO, diluted in culture medium to 10X final concentration and diluted 1:10 into cultured cells to final concentrations listed. Erastin was prepared fresh in DMSO, sonicated briefly then diluted into aqueous medium at < 0.5 mM before addition to cultured cells to reduce variability between experiments.

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.
