Female 8-week-old dilute-brown agouti 2 (DBA/2NCrl, hereafter referred to as DBA/2) mice were obtained from Charles River (Sulzfeld, Germany) and housed in a virus/antibody-free environment. These mice have an inherent susceptibility to high-phosphate diet-triggered calcification [15 (link), 16 (link)]. To induce media calcification, they were placed on high-phosphate diet (Altromin, Germany) containing 20.2 g phosphorus, 9.4 g calcium, 0.7 g magnesium and 500 IU vitamin D3 per kg. The standard chow contained 7.0 g phosphorus, 10.0 g calcium, 2.2 g magnesium and 1000 IU vitamin D3 per kg. Mice were then followed for 5–14 days and culled under anaesthesia. For the interventional studies, DBA/2 mice were divided into three treatment groups to receive vehicle control (dimethylsulphoxide; Sigma, St. Louis, MO), TNFα inhibitor etanercept (Pfizer, New York, NY) at a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight, or TNFα receptor antagonist R-7050 (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX) at a dose of 6 mg/kg body weight, respectively [17 (link)]. These drugs were applied via intraperitoneal injections every alternate day. All animal experiments were approved by Austrian veterinary authorities (BMWF-66.010/0047-II/3b/2012) and corresponded to directive 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament.

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.
