Amygdalar Modulation of Oxidative Stress and Behavior

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The rat was anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (50 mg/kg, i.p.) and placed in a stereotaxic apparatus. A craniotomy over the right amygdala was performed and a guide cannula (outer diameter: 0.64 mm; inner diameter: 0.45 mm) was implanted on the dorsal margin of the CeA, using the following coordinates (in mm): 2.5 caudal to bregma; 4.0 lateral to midline; depth, 7.5. The cannula was fixed to the skull with dental acrylic. The behavioral tests were carried out 5 days after the surgery. For drug application, a microinjection tubing probe was inserted through the guide cannula so that the probe protruded by 1 mm. The probe was connected to a PE-10 polyethylene tube filled with dissolved drug solution. The drug solution was pushed into the brain tissue by injecting 1μl air into the polyethylene tube with a microsyringe. Then the polyethylene tube was heat sealed and the probe was left in place for 10 min before the behavioral tests. The following drugs were used: Tempol, baicalein, apocynin (Tocris). Drugs were dissolved in DMSO (30% in deionized water) and diluted in ACSF (containing [in mM] 117 NaCl, 4.7 KCl, 1.2 NaH2PO4, 2.5 CaCl2, 1.2 MgCl2, 25 NaHCO3 and 11 glucose) at 1:100 to their final concentration for injection into the amygdala.

Mitochondrial Function in Murine Endothelial Cells

Ex vivo mitochondrial function of murine endothelial cells was investigated using an XFp Seahorse extracellular flux analyzer (Agilent, Santa Clara, USA). 30,000 cells were seeded in Seahorse Miniplates in Seahorse XF DMEM medium (103575–100, Agilent, Santa Clara, USA) supplemented with 1% FCS, 2mM L-glutamine, 1mM pyruvate and 5.5mM D-glucose, adjusted to pH 7.4 using 1M NaOH directly after isolation. In some experiments, cells were exposed to 1μM baicalein (Tocris, Bristol, UK), 100nM BCTC (Tocris, Bristol, UK) or DMSO as vehicle control for 2h prior analysis. In other experiments, endothelial cells of in vivo treated mice were used. Miniplates were centrifuged for 20min at 2000g at room temperature. All experiments were performed using the Mito Stress Test Kit (Agilent, Santa Clara, USA, 103010–100) containing oligomycin, FCCP and antimycin/rotenone.

Macrophage Infection with Leishmania

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Column purified CD14+ monocytes were obtained from buffy coats from healthy blood donors (from the Hematology and Hemotherapy Foundation of Bahia, HEMOBA), and plated at 2 × 106 cell/well in 24-well plates containing RPMI with 10% fetal bovine serum and treated for 7 d with 50 ng/mL MCSF (Peprotech, Rock Hill, NJ) to differentiate in human macrophages as previously described33 (link). Macrophages were infected (multiplicity of infection 6:1) with stationary phase L. amazonensis promastigotes (MHOM/BR/87/BA336) isolated from a patient with DCL. After 4 h incubation at 37 °C, free parasites were removed by extensive washing with phosphate-buffered saline. Then, indicated concentrations of synthetic RvD1 (Cayman Chemical), with or without Baicalein (a 15-LO inhibitor, TOCRIS, Bristol, UK) were added to cultures. Culture supernatants were collected after 24 h post infection for measurement inflammatory mediators as described above. The intracellular parasite loads were quantified by microscopy and viable promastigotes in Schneider medium. The infectivity index (percentage of infected macrophages x average number of amastigote per macrophage) was determined by randomly counting at least 200 macrophages per slide in light microscope, using the immersion objective (100x).

UV-Induced Cell Viability Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK and melanocytes were plated in 96-wells (1 × 10 [4 (link)] cells/well) 12–16 h at 37C with ferrostatin-1 (Sigma, 10 μM), liproxstatin-1 (Tocris, 1 μM), baicalein (Tocris, 5 μM), triacsin C (Cayman Chem, 10 μM), z-VAD-fmk (Apexbio, 20 μM), deferoxamine mesylate (Sigma, 5 and 10 μM). Plates were exposed to UVA (20 kJ/m2) or UVB (2–10 kJ/m2), incubated 6 h at 37C, and viability was assessed with CellTiter 96 Aqueous Cell Proliferation Assay kit (MTS, Promega) according to manufacturer protocol, by 490 nm absorbance measured with SpectraMax iD5 (Molecular Devices) microplate reader. Alternatively, Fixable Viability Dye eFluor 780 (Invitrogen) was used to assess viability by flow cytometry at 6 h, 24 h and 48 h after irradiation.

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.
