Accelerated Muscle Growth via AAV-Pck2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To test the effect of AAV-Pck2 during accelerated muscle growth, over-expression of Pck2 was first confirmed prior to administration of the beta-2 adrenergic agonist, Clenbuterol. Seven days following the AAV injections, mice were imaged under recoverable anaesthesia (1.5% isoflurane) on an IVIS Spectrum imaging system (PerkinElmer). GFP signal was used as an indicator of successful delivery to the TA muscles and AAV function (i.e. translation of AAV-delivered genes). Following confirmation of localized GFP expression, mice were injected daily with Clenbuterol (CAS# 21898-19-1; Sigma Aldrich UK) at 1 mg/kg via the subcutaneous route for 3 weeks.

Quantification of β-Agonists in Biological Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All chemicals were of analytical grade. Acetonitrile, methanol (high-performance liquid chromatography grade), and ammonium acetate were obtained from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). Ultrapure water (Milli-Q, Millipore Corporation, Bedford, MA, USA) was used to prepare all aqueous solutions.
All β-agonists (cimaterol, clenbuterol, ractopamine, salbutamol, terbutaline, tulobuterol, and zilpaterol) and corresponding internal standards (cimaterol-d7, clenbuterol-d9, ractopamine-d6, clenbuterol-d9, salbutamol-d6, terbutaline-d9, and zilpaterol-d7) were purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA). The minimum purity of all standards was 98.0%. The chemical structures of all seven β-agonists are shown in Figure 1.

Fentanyl cocktail comprised fentanyl (0.05 mg/kg), midazolam (5.0 mg/kg) and dexmedetomidine (0.5 mg/kg) premixed in saline and was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) for anesthetized two-photon imaging sessions.
Nadolol (10 mg/kg i.p.; Sigma, 42200–33-9) was administered for two-photon imaging. Clenbuterol (1 mg/kg i.p.; Sigma, 21898–19-1) was administered for two-photon imaging, while 2 mg/kg i.p. daily (5 days/week) for 1 month was administered to assess the long-term impact of β2AR agonist treatment. Both Nadolol and Clenbuterol were dissolved in saline. ICI-118,551 (Sigma, 72795–01-8) were dissolved in DMSO (Sigma, 67–68-5) and administered by mini-osmotic pump (Alzet, model 2002) for 1 month at a dosage of 10 mg/kg/day. Pumps were replaced once after the first 15 days of the treatment period.
Tamoxifen (Sigma, 10540–29-1) was dissolved in corn oil (20 mg/mL) and administered i.p. for 5 days (75 mg/kg) in experiments using 5xFAD CX3CR1-CreERT β2AR-flox mice.

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.
