In Vitro Binding of 5-HT2A Receptor

Animals:

Animals (Sprague-Dawley rats) are sacrificed and brains are rapidly dissected and frozen in isopentane maintained at −42° C. Horizontal sections are prepared on a cryostat and maintained at −20° C.

LSD Displacement Protocol:

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is a potent 5-HT2A receptor and dopamine D2 receptor ligand. An indication of the selectivity of compounds for either or both of these receptors involves displacement of radiolabeled-bound LSD from pre-treated brain sections. For these studies, radiolabeled 125I-LSD (NEN Life Sciences, Boston, Mass., Catalogue number NEX-199) can be utilized; spiperone (RBI, Natick, Mass. Catalogue number s-128) a 5-HT2A receptor and dopamine D2 receptor antagonist, can also utilized. Buffer consists of 50 nanomolar TRIS-HCl, pH 7.4.

Brain sections are incubated in (a) Buffer plus 1 nanomolar 125I-LSD; (b) Buffer plus 1 nanomolar 125I-LSD and 1 micromolar spiperone; or Buffer plus 1 nanomolar 125I-LSD and 1 micromolar Compound of interest for 30 minutes at room temperature. Sections are then washed 2×10 minutes at 4° C. in Buffer, followed by 20 seconds in distilled H2O. Slides are then air-dried.

After drying, sections are apposed to x-ray film (Kodak Hyperfilm) and exposed for 4 days.

Quantifying Receptor Binding in Mouse Brain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Radiolabeled slides and calibrated [3H] standards were exposed to Hyperfilm (Kodak, Rochester, NY, USA) for either 10 weeks (D1 receptor) or 13 weeks (D2 receptor). Optical density measurements were made on a computerized image analyzer (MCID System, Imaging Research Inc., St. Catherines, ON, CA). Three sections were selected from the pregenual forebrain of each mouse, corresponding to Plates 17, 19 and 21 from the mouse brain atlas (Paxinos and Franklin, 2008 ). Regions of interest were traced in both hemispheres and consisted of the pregenual mPFC, dorsal striatum, and nucleus accumbens (NAcc). The sampling area of the mPFC included the cingulate, prelimbic, and infralimbic subregions. The sampling area for the NAcc included the core and shell. [3H] standards were used to generate a standard curve, and the density of radioligand bound per milligram of tissue was computed based on specific radioactivity (fmol/mg ± SEM). Specific binding was determined by subtracting non-specific binding from total binding. Data from both hemispheres were pooled since no inter-hemispheric differences were detected.

Proteins (400–500 μg) were extracted from the hippocampus and diluted in lysis buffer for further immunoprecipitation using the CoIP kit (Pierce) protocol. Twenty microliters of A/G PLUS-Agarose beads were loaded to a column washed with coupling buffer at 90 g for 1 min. Ten micrograms of rabbit mouse ADNP antibody (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX, USA) were added to the beads and incubated for 1 h at 24 °C. Cross-linking using 2.5 mM disuccinimidyl suberate was performed by further 1 h incubation. Then, cleared 500 μg of brain lysate were added to the column and incubated (16 h, 4 °C). To detect the eluted antigen, proteins were separated by electrophoresis on 15% acrylamide gel containing 0.1% SDS,10 (link) transferred to nitrocellulose filter (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) and immunostained with rabbit polyclonal antibody against mouse eIF4E (1:500), (a kind gift from Professor Orna Elroy-Stein, Tel Aviv University).41 (link) Proteins were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence reagents and exposure to hyperfilm (Kodak, Petach Tiqwa, Israel). Protein bands on hyperfilm were quantified using photochromatography analysis.
