Histamine Receptor Ligands Modulate Immune Responses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The following histamine receptor ligands and stimuli were used in this study: histamine (ALK‐Abello, Madrid, Spain) as agonist for all histamine receptors; 2‐pyridylethylamine (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) as selective H1 receptor agonist; amthamine (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) as selective H2 receptor agonist; 4‐methylhistamine as a H2 /H4 receptor agonist; ST‐1006 (Institute of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Chemistry, Heinrich Heine University, Duesseldorf, Germany) as H4 receptor agonist (Sander et al., 2009); clemastine (Tocris) as selective H1 receptor antagonist; ranitidine (Tocris) as selective H2 receptor antagonist; and JNJ7777120 (Sigma Aldrich, Deisenhofen, Germany) as selective H4 receptor antagonist. All histamine receptor ligands were used at a concentration of 10 μM. In concentration–response experiments, the histamine receptor ligands were used in the range of 0.1 ‐ 100 μM. In extensive previous studies, we have shown that 10 μM is the optimal concentration to demonstrate and reproduce robust H4 receptor agonist mediated effects (Gschwandtner, Koether, Werfel, Stark, & Gutzmer, 2013). C5a (10 ng·ml−1; Sigma, Deisenhofen, Germany); recombinant human rh OSM (1 ng·ml−1) ImmunoTools, Friesoythe, Germany); GM‐CSF (10 ng·ml−1), IFN‐γ (200 ng·ml−1) (R&D, San Diego, CA, USA); LPS (50 ng·ml−1) Sigma Aldrich.

CB33, SUDHL4 and SUDHL6 cells provided by R. Dalla-Favera (Columbia University, NY) were maintained in IMDM (Life Technology), supplemented with 10% FBS (Gemini) and antibiotics. The HF1 follicular cell line provided by R. Levy (Stanford University, CA) was maintained in DMEM (Life Technology), supplemented with 10% FBS and antibiotics. Cells were tested negative for mycoplasma. Cells were not further authenticated. Antibodies: rabbit anti-MYC (XP) (Cell Signaling Technology); rabbit anti-FOXM1 and mouse anti-GAPDH (SantaCruz); rabbit anti-HMGA1, anti-ATF5, anti-NFYB, mouse anti-TFDP1 (Abcam). Alprostadil, Clemastine, Cytarabine and Troglitazone (Tocris), Econazole nitrate and Promazine hydrochloride (Sigma) were reconstituted in DMSO (Sigma).

Anti-Aβ (6E10, Convance, USA), anti-FL-APP (CST, USA), anti-APP C-terminal antibody(Sigma-Aldrich, USA), anti-BACE1 (Abcam, USA), anti-GFAP (Abcam), anti-Iba1(Abcam), anti-mTOR (CST), anti-p-mTOR (CST), anti-P70S6K (CST), anti-p-P70S6K (CST), anti-LC3 (CST), anti-p62 (CST), anti-GAPDH (Sigma-Aldrich), anti-insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) (Santa Cruz, USA), anti-neprilysin (R&D, USA). Alexa Fluorconjugated secondary antibodies were from Invitrogen. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies were from Sigma-Aldrich. Drug treatments 4-month old APP/PS1 transgenic mice and the age-matched WT mice were received a diet of standard laboratory chow supplemented with clemastine (10 mg/kg/day) (sodium salt; Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, Britain) for 4 months. The transgenic mice and WT mice received the same chow without clemastine.
Cell lines were treated with clemastine (dissolved in DMSO) at 0.3, 3, and 30 μM for 12 h. Cells treated with DMSO served as control.

The OS cell lines U-2 OS cells (Cat #HTB-96) and Saos-2 cells (Cat #HTB-85) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC Manassas, Virginia, USA). According to the recommendation of the supplier, the OS cells U-2 OS and Saos-2 were cultured in McCoy 5A medium (Fisher Scientific Cat #16600108) modified with L-glutamine and supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 15% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Access Biologicals, Vista, CA), respectively. Cells were cultured in a 100 mm cell culture dish in a humidified incubator at 37°C supplied with 5% CO2. When cells reached 70–80% confluence they were used for experiments. Clemastine was purchased from Tocris Biosciences (Cat #1453100) and dissolved in DMSO. Autophagy inhibitor, 3-methyladenine (3-MA), was purchased from Thermo Scientific chemicals (Cat #AC379795000) and dissolved in DMSO.

In this experiment, 36 animals were also equally divided into three groups as above. Clemastine (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) was dissolved in DMSO (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) at 10 mg/ml followed by further dilution in ddH2O into 1 mg/ml. From postnatal days 21-35, half of the isoflurane exposed mice (n=12 for each group) were fed Clemastine (10 mg/kg) daily via gastric gavage using plastic feeding tubes (gauge 22; Instech, Plymouth Meeting, PA, USA), and the other half (n=12 for each group) were fed same volume of 10% DMSO as vehicle.16 (link),17 (link)

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Experiments were performed with 8-to 12-week-old female C57BL/6 (Charles River) mice in accordance with the ethics animal care guidelines of the University of Calgary Animal Care Committee. All transgenic animals used in this study were purchased from Jackson Laboratories (PDGFRa-CreER, 018280; PGC1a-flox, 009666; Tau-mGFP, 021162) and crossed in-house. Genotyping (including primers) was conducted using protocols provided online through Jackson Laboratories. Naive animals were injected intraperitonially with 100 mL of 20 mg/mL tamoxifen (in corn oil) daily for 5 days to induce recombination. Animals were given a minimum 5 day washout period following dosing to ensure that tamoxifen had completely left the system. Animals receiving drug treatment were given double-distilled H 2 O (ddH 2 O) or clemastine (dissolved in ddH 2 O, 10 mg/kg; Tocris Bioscience) daily via gastric gavage.

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.
