Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
With reference to the dosages used in other studies24 (link),40 (link), CDPPB (Tocris) was dissolved in DMSO to a concentration of 10 mg/ml, and mixed with PBS containing 10% Tween-80 in a 1:9 ratio for intraperitoneal injection. PBS containing 10% Tween-80 was given as vehicle. Mice were given a single intraperitoneal injection at 10 mg/kg/day from P16 to 22. The whole little was weaned at P35.
For rescue experiments performed in adult mice, only males were employed. CDPPB (10 mg/kg) was injected 30 min before the open field test and three-chamber test. Cortices were collected within 10 min after the open field test. Protein samples were prepared in IP buffer supplemented with inhibitors including sodium orthovanadate. Samples were probed with antibodies against phospho-ERK (Cell Signaling, cat. 9101), total ERK (Cell Signaling, cat. 9102), phospho-JNK (Cell Signaling, cat. 9251), and total JNK (Cell Signaling, cat. 9252).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NMDAR-dependent LTD was induced by applying NMDA (20 µM) for 3 min, and mGluR-LTD was induced by applying R,S-DHPG (50 µM) for 5 min. In pharmacological pre-treatment experiments, slices were pre-incubated with the respective drug for 40 min before the beginning of baseline recordings, and then kept in bath throughout the entire experiment (except Fig. S5 and Fig. 5D). NMDA, MK-801 (40 µM) were purchased from Sigma. R,S-DHPG, D-AP5 (50 µM), 7-CK (100 µM), U0126 (20 µM) were purchased from Tocris Biosciences. Rapamycin (20 nM) was purchased from LC labs. Fresh bottles of DHPG were prepared as a 100× stock in H2O, divided into aliquots and stored at −20 °C. Fresh stocks were made once a week. CHX (60 µM) and CDPPB (3-Cyano-N-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)benzamide; 10 µM) were purchased from Tocris Biosciences. CDPPB was made up weekly in DMSO; CHX was fresh each experimental day.

Estradiol and Cocaine Reinforcement in Ovariectomized Rats

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Estradiol (17β-estradiol; E2758, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was dissolved in cottonseed oil to a final concentration of 2 μg/0.1 ml and was injected s.c. at a volume of 0.1 ml. The mGluR5 antagonist MPEP (1212, Tocris, Minneapolis, MN) was dissolved in sterile saline (1 mg/ml/kg) and injected i.p. This dose of MPEP has been shown to block estradiol-induced changes in dendritic spines within the NAc (Peterson et al., 2014 (link)), as well as estradiol enhancement of behavioral sensitization (Sircar and Kim, 1999 (link); Martinez et al., 2014 (link)), in OVX female rats. The mGluR5-positive allosteric modulator 3-cyano-N-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)benzamide (CDPPB; 3235, Tocris) was dissolved in 10% Tween-80 (low CDPPB, 10 mg/ml/kg; high CDPPB, 25 mg/2 ml/kg) and injected i.p. The 10 mg/ml/kg dose of CDPPB mimics the effects of estradiol on dendritic spine density in the NAc in OVX females (Gross et al., 2016 (link)). Cocaine (cocaine hydrochloride; 0406-1520-53, Mallinckrodt, St. Louis, MO) was dissolved in sterile PBS (9.3 mg/ml) and infused i.v. (1.5 mg/kg/infusion). Previous work has shown that under extended access conditions, estradiol treatment enhances cocaine intake in OVX females self-administering at this dose (Ramôa et al., 2013 (link)).

NMDAR-dependent LTD was induced by applying NMDA (20 µM) for 3 min, and mGluR-LTD was induced by applying R,S-DHPG (50 µM) for 5 min. In pharmacological pretreatment experiments, slices were pre-incubated with the respective drug for 40 min before the beginning of baseline recordings, and then kept in bath throughout the entire experiment (except Supplementary Fig. S5 and Fig. 5d). NMDA, MK-801 (40 µM) were purchased from Sigma. R,S-DHPG, D-AP5 (50 µM), 7-CK (100 µM), U0126 (20 µM) were purchased from Tocris Biosciences. Rapamycin (20 nM) was purchased from LC labs.

Hippocampal Neuron Culture and Analysis

Littermatte embryos derived from heterozygous parents were collected at day 16.5 of gestation. The hippocampus was dissected and dissociated in 0.0125% trypsin. Dissociated cells were plated at a density of 10,000 cells/cm2 on poly-d-lysine-coated coverslips in a 24-well plate, and cultured with neurobasal medium containing 1% B27, 2 mM GlutaMax, 25 µM l-glutamate and 1% penicillin/streptomycin for 24 h [0 day in vitro (DIV)]. Half of the medium was replaced with medium without l-glutamate on the next day.
Neurons were transfected with pEGFP (Clontech) on 5 DIV using calcium phosphate precipitation. Photomicrographs were taken on 7 DIV and analyzed blinded to genotype with the Imaris imaging software (Bitplane).
The mGluR5 antagonist 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)pyridine (MPEP) (Abcam) was dissolved in PBS at 5 mM and added to culture on 3 DIV at a final concentration of 10 µM. Hippocampal neurons were transfected with pEGFP and neurite analysis was performed as described above. In rescue experiment, CDPPB (Tocris) was dissolved in DMSO (27.4 µM) and added to culture to reach a final concentration of 50 nM on 3 DIV.

Modulating mGluR5 in Adult Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice received a daily intraperitoneal injection (at 9 am) from the postnatal day 56 (PnD56) to PnD91 during 5 weeks, see Fig 1. Negative allosteric modulator of mGluR5, 3-((2-methyl-4-thiazolyl)ethynyl)pyridine (MTEP), (2 mg/ml, 3 mg/kg animal, Tocris, Cat. No. 2921) and positive allosteric modulator of mGluR5, 3-Cyano-N-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl) benzamide (CDPPB), (6.66 mg/ml, 10 mg/kg animal, Tocris, Cat. No. 3235) solutions were prepared with the same dissolving solution (accordingly to manufacturer’s recommendation). Drug preparation was made so that each animal received equivalent volume (1.5 μl/g animal). Equivalent volume of dissolving solution was used for the control treatment. Fresh solutions were prepared every 2–3 days and preserved at 4°C. The CDPPB and MTEP doses used in this study are known to be active at the behavioral and cellular level [5 (link), 40 (link)–43 (link)]. Since mGluR5 is known to play a function during the cerebral development and in the adult brain, the treatment was started in adulthood to exclude the effect of mGluR5 on development and, consequently, limiting the present results to the effect of mGluR5 in mature/adult brain.

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.
