Mixed glial cells were obtained from the cerebral cortex of Sprague Dawley rat pups at postnatal days 1–3 and cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin. After 10 days in vitro, microglia were harvested by gentle shaking of the growth flask, plated in a 96 well plate at a density of 30,000 cells/well, and incubated at 37°C overnight. Microglia were pretreated with the ADRB1 antagonists CGP 20712A (0.1 μM; Tocris 1024) or betaxolol (10 μM; Tocris 0906), the ADRB2 antagonist ICI-118551 (0.1 μM; Tocris 0821), or vehicle for 15 min. Following the pretreatment, microglia were stimulated with LPS (10 ng/ml; Sigma Aldrich L4391) along with or without xamoterol (S-enantiomer; 1 μM) or isoproterenol (1 μM; Sigma Aldrich I5627) for 4 h at 37°C. Following the 4 h incubation, cell media was collected and concentration of TNF-α was measured by ELISA (Invitrogen, KRC3011) according to the manufacturer’s instruction.

Modulating β-Adrenergic Receptor Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
β1-AR stimulation was achieved with 10 and 100 nM isoproterenol in the presence of the β2 antagonist ICI 118,551 (ICI; 100 nM). Selective β2-AR stimulation was achieved with 50 and 100 nM zinterol (Tocris) in the presence of the β1 antagonist CGP20712A (CGP; 10 nM). Myocyte populations used to measure phospho-protein responses were field-stimulated during β-AR stimulation. At 5 min, perfusion buffer was rapidly aspirated and replaced with Laemmli sample buffer containing protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche) and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
For experiments using pertussis toxin (PTX) to disable Gαi, cells were treated with 1.5 µg.ml−1 PTX for 3 h at 37°C. To determine the contribution of HMG CoA reductase inhibition and depletion of isoprenoids to basal and β-AR responses, mevalonate (100 µM), FPP and/or GGPP (10 µM) were added to statin-containing medium at the start of the 48 h culture period. For these protocols, shortening was measured in the absence of fura-loading.

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.
