Quantifying Protein Synthesis in Mouse Brain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A protocol adapted from the SUnSET method was used to label newly synthetised proteins.35 (link),97 ,103 (link) Briefly, 400 μm-thick coronal striatal slices of the brain of 3- to 4-month-old Fmr1 KO and control mice were prepared using a vibratome. Slices were allowed to recover in aCSF at 32°C for 1 h and subsequently treated with puromycin (Cat# P8833, Sigma-Aldrich, 5 μg/mL) for 45 min. For slices subjected to pharmacological pretreatment, anisomycin (Cat# 1290, Tocris, 20 μM) and 4EGI-1 (100 μM) were added to aCSF 30 min prior to puromycin treatment. Newly synthesized proteins were end-labeled with puromycin. Striatum was micro-dissected from the brain slices and flash frozen on dry ice and lysed. 40 μg of puromycylated protein lysates were analyzed on western blotting. Protein synthesis levels were determined by taking total lane density in the molecular weight range of 10–250 kDa. Comparisons of protein synthesis levels between both genotypes were made by normalizing to the average WT signal.

Pharmacological Modulation of D4R in Synaptic Transmission

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The D4R antagonist L-745, 870 (Sigma) was first dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to make a stock solution and stored at 4 °C. This stock solution was then diluted in ACSF to a final concentration of 50 nM, ensuring that the final DMSO concentration did not exceed 0.1%. These concentrations were used as they did not affect basal synaptic transmission33 (link). The D4R agonists, PD 168077 (Sigma) and Ro-10-5824 (Tocris), were both used at 0.1 µM and anisomycin (Sigma), a protein synthesis inhibitor, and KN93 (Sigma), a CaMKII inhibitor were used at a concentration of 25 µM and 1 µM respectively. PD 168077 (Sigma), Ro-10-5824 (Tocris), anisomycin and KN93 were dissolved in DMSO to make stock solutions and later were dissolved in ACSF. The NMDA antagonist, AP5 (Sigma) was dissolved in water and was used at 50 µM concentration.

Murine Lung Cell Culture and Stimulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary murine lung cells were maintained at 37°C with 5% CO2. We noticed that JKP cells maintained in culture for a prolonged period of time (passage > 15) lose their growth advantage over KP cells. Therefore, all experiments were performed using cells from passages 3–10. Where indicated, cells were treated with anisomycin (MilliporeSigma, A9789, final concentration 200 ng/mL) for 30 minutes to stimulate JNK-dependent phosphorylation of c-Jun/JunD, and/or with JNK inhibitor (Tocris Bioscience, Bio-Techne; SP600125; final concentration 20 μM) for 30 minutes before harvesting (after anisomycin stimulation, if given).
Human LADC cell lines (NCI-H23, NCI-H441, NCI-H1792, and A549) were provided by the Francis Crick Institute Cell Services and cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, and 2mM glutamine. All cells were tested Mycoplasma negative and maintained at 37°C with 5% CO2.

Pharmacological Modulation of Synaptic Plasticity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Drugs were bath-applied to the whole slice through the perfusion system by dilution of concentrated stock solutions (prepared in water or DMSO) in ACSF, or by adding the drugs to the patch pipette solution when it was applied intracellularly to the postsynaptic cell only. If the drug was not water-soluble, vehicle control experiments were carried out. For each set of recordings, interleaved control and drug conditions were carried out and were pseudorandomly chosen. The following drugs were used in this study: 100 μM dopamine hydrochloride (Sigma–Aldrich, Dorset, United Kingdom), 100 μM D-AP5 (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, United Kingdom), 10 µM nimodipine (Tocris Bioscience), 1 µM PKA inhibitor fragment (6-22) amide (Tocris Bioscience), 0.5 mM anisomycin (stock solution in EtOH; Tocris Bioscience), and 1 mM MK801 (Tocris Bioscience).

Primary lens cell cultures were prepared as described previously47 (link) using lenses isolated from E9 quail lenses. Briefly, cells were isolated by trypsinization and agitation and plated on laminin, and cultured in Complete Medium. After the cells had differentiated and formed mature lentoid structures (D10) they were treated for 24 h with MAPK/JNK inhibitor, SP600125 (25 µM), the MTOR inhibitor, rapamycin (100 nM), the MAPK/JNK activator anisomycin (Tocris Bioscience, 1290; 0.5 μM) or the vehicle control DMSO. Details on preparation of the SP600125 inhibitor have been previously described.66 (link) For treatment of embryonic lenses with inhibitors in ex vivo organ culture or in primary lens cell cultures complete medium was replaced with medium containing SP600125 (25 μM), JNK-IN-8 (1 μM), rapamycin (100 nM) or anisomycin (0.5 μM).

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.
