Volatile Anesthetic Exposure and Growth Cone Collapse

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For volatile anesthetic treatment, coverslips in 12-well plates with a low volume of culture media (500μl to facilitate gas diffusion, were placed in airtight, humidified modular chambers (Billups-Rothenberg, Del Mar, CA, USA) as previously described (Mintz, et al. 2013 (link); Xu, et al. 2018b (link)). The chamber was connected to an agent-specific calibrated vaporizer (SuperaVet, Vaporizer Sales and Services Inc, Rockmart, GA, USA) that delivered 2.4% isoflurane mixed with 5% carbon dioxide / 95% air carrier gas at 12 L/min. Carrier gas alone was used as for controls. Gas composition was measured periodically using a 5250 RGM gas analyzer (Datex-Ohmeda, Madison, WI, USA). In some cases, co-treatment or pre-treatment with pharmacologic compounds was performed. These compounds included: TCS 1205 (10 nM, 100 nM, 1μM, Tocris), TCS 1105 (10 nM, 100 nM, 1μM, Tocris), Zolpidem (10 nM, 100 nM, 1μM, Tocris), Bumetanide (10μM, Tocris), and Chloride Ionophore I (3μM, Millipore). After a 15-min equilibration, the sealed chambers with dissociated cultures were placed in an incubator to maintain temperature at 37°C for 1 hour, followed by 20 min exposure to either vehicle control or a recombinant soluble axon guidance cue, Semaphorin 3A (R & D Systems, Bend, OR) at 100 ng/ml to induce growth cone collapse (Figure 1A, B).

Ion Channel Pharmacology in Nerve Recordings

Control buffer solution contained (in mM): NaCl 140, HEPES hemi Na 10, CaCl2 2.1, MgCl2 2.12, KCl 2.5, Glucose 10. It was adjusted to pH 7.2–7.3 with the addition of small quantities of HCl, as necessary. 4-Ethylphenylamino-1,2-dimethyl-6-methylaminopyrimidinium chloride (ZD7288) and bumetanide were obtained from Tocris (Bio-techne Ltd, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK). These drugs were made up as stock solutions in DMSO, at 50 mM and 5 mM, respectively, and stored at − 20 °C. The final concentrations were achieved by one-thousand fold dilution and the concentration of vehicle in the nerve bath never exceeded 0.1%. 4-Aminopyridine (4-AP) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Merck, Poole, Dorset, UK), and was made as a fresh solution from the crystalline form on each experimental day, ensuring appropriate pHing of the buffer solution took place using HCl.

Kynurenic acid was purchased from Sigma. DNQX (Tocris) was kept at a stock concentration of 20 μM in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Sigma). Bicuculline methochloride, furosemide, bumetanide, and gabazine were obtained from Tocris. V1R antagonist dGly[Phaa1,d-tyr(et), Lys, Arg]VP was purchased from Bachem. TrkB-Fc chimera was purchased from R&D Systems. Antibodies from commercial sources: KCC2 (1:500), pan-TrkB (1:1,000), and GAPDH (1:5,000) from Millipore; BDNF (Santa Cruz Biotechnology; 1:100 for WB, 1:300 for IHC); Y515 phosphorylated TrkB from Abcam (1:100); and Iba1 from Wako chemicals (1:1,000). NKCC1 antibody (1:500) was generously provided by Dr. R. James Turner (NIH). VP-neurophysin antibody (mouse monoclonal, 1:100) was kindly provided by Dr. Hal Gainer (NIH).

SR95531, CGP55845, furosemide, bumetanide, and VU0240551 were from Tocris Bioscience. All other chemicals used for electrophysiology were from Sigma. DMSO (0.001%) was used as vehicle for all drugs and controls. All tubing was replaced after furosemide and bumetanide use.

Pharmacological Modulation of GABA Reversal

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Working drug solutions were freshly prepared from stock solutions on the day of the experiments. Kynurenic acid stock solution (500 mM; Sigma-Aldrich) was prepared in 1 N NaOH and stored at 4°C; the drug was used at a final concentration of 3 mM. Picrotoxin stock solution (100 mM; Tocris) was prepared in DMSO and kept at −20°C. The final working solution was 50 μM. Bumetanide (Tocris) stock solution (10 mM in DMSO) was prepared fresh every day. For slice recording of Bumetanide-treated mice, the mice received intraperitoneal injections (0.1 mg/kg in saline) 30 to 40 min before being euthanized, and Bumetanide (10 μM) was also added to the ACSF in the slice incubation and recording chambers. Simply adding Bumetanide to the recording solution did not produce notable effects on the GABAA reversal potential when recording slices from scPCP mice, most likely because Bumetanide requires ≥20 min to significantly affect eGABA (48 (link)), and in our experience, this time span is close to the maximum safe duration of perforated patch recordings.

In Vivo Modulation of NKCC1 in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male adult NKCC1fl/fl mice were injected intraperitoneally with saline, LPS (2 mg/kg; O26:B6, #L8274, Sigma-Aldrich) or LPS (2 mg/kg) and bumetanide (25 mg/kg; #3108, Tocris). Intraperitoneal bumetanide injections were repeated twice, the first one 15 minutes prior to LPS injection, the second one 1 hour after LPS administration. The double injection aimed to ensure that in the critical time window, we have effective concentrations of bumetanide in the circulation. At 24 hours, saline-perfused spleen and brain samples were collected for cytokine measurements or flow cytometric analysis.

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.
