6 hydroxydopamine 6 ohda

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, Japan

6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) is a chemical compound used in research laboratories. It is a selective neurotoxin that is primarily used to induce dopaminergic neurodegeneration in experimental models. The core function of 6-OHDA is to selectively target and damage dopamine-producing neurons, which can be useful for studying Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders.

Neuroprotective Potential of A5+ in Neuroblastoma Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Murine neuroblastoma cell lines, N1E-115, were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and culture in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) (Corning, NY, USA) and 100 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Cells were maintained at 37 °C in humidified air containing 5% CO2.
A5+ was provided by SirtLife srl, Rome, Italy. A5+ 10 µg is composed of ellagic acid (20%), polydatin (98%), pterostilbene (20%), honokiol (20%), mixed with recommended doses of zinc, selenium, and chromium. The polydatin and A5+ were dissolved in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide, Sigma Aldrich, Milan, Italy) at 1 mg/mL [22 (link)]. In order to establish the concentration of A5+ able to promote beneficial effect without exerting neurotoxic effect, N1E115 cells were treated with different concentrations (10, 50, 100 and 500 μM) for 48 h.
Neurotoxicity was induced by treating cells with different concentration (10, 30, 50, 75 and 100 μM) of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) (Sigma Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) for 24 h.
Moreover, a combined treatment has been given: cells were pre-treated with A5+ for 48 h and then 6-OHDA was added in combination with A5+ for further 24 h.

Neuroprotective Effects of SB Against 6-OHDA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neuroprotection assays were performed using alamarBlue® reagent (Invitrogen, MA, USA). Briefly, SH-SY5Y cells were pretreated with SB for 1 h before adding 20 μM 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 18 h. Cells were treated with LY294002 inhibitor (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) or ZnPP (R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) prior to SB treatment for 1 h. Next, 10 μL alamarBlue® was added after exposure to 6-OHDA, and optical density (OD) was measured with an ELISA reader. Relative protection (percent) was calculated as 100 × ((OD of the 6-OHDA + SB-treated cells − OD of the 6-OHDA-treated cells)/(OD of the control cells − OD of the 6-OHDA-treated cells)) as described previously [72 (link)].

Viral Injections and 6OHDA in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
6–10-week-old mice were anesthetized and placed in a stereotaxic frame, and a 33-gauge needle (Plastics One) was inserted for viral injections into cortex (AP +0.5/1.5, ML +/−2.0, DV −1.0 from dura) or thalamus (AP −2.3, ML +/−0.5, DV −3.25 from dura). A volume of 0.75 μl/site of virus was injected at a rate of 0.2 μl/min. Two weeks later, the scalp was reopened and 1 μl of 5 μg/μl 6-hydroxydopamine (6OHDA; Sigma-Aldrich) was injected unilaterally into the medial forebrain bundle (MFB; AP −1.0, ML −1.0, DV −4.9 from dura) or bilaterally into the DLS (AP +0.8, ML +/− 2.2, DV −2.5 from dura).

Animals were anaesthetized with a mixture of ketamine (8.7 mg/ml; Mavlab, Slack Creek, QLD) and xylazil (2 mg/ml; Troy Laboratories Pty Ltd, Smithfield, Australia) and placed in a stereotaxic apparatus (Kopf Instruments, Tujunga, California). Mice were then injected with 2 x 2 μl of 3 mg/mL (total 12 μg) of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA; Sigma Aldrich, Australia) in 0.02% ascorbic acid (sham) in the right sensorimotor striatum at the following coordinates: AP +1.0, ML +2.1, DV -2.9 and AP +0.3, ML +2.3, DV -2.9, relative to bregma and the dural surface as previously described [8 ]. 6-OHDA (or 0.02% ascorbic acid control) was injected at a rate of 0.5 μl/minute and the syringe left in place for 2 minutes after each injection to allow for complete diffusion.

Diet-induced obese (DIO) mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and then the bilateral incisions were made approximately 0.5 cm. 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) was dissolved in PBS containing 1% ascorbic acid and subsequently injected into the bilateral subcutaneous fat pads (2 μL for per injection, 24 μL per pad), according to previously described 28 (link). The same volume of vehicles was injected into control mice. The bilateral incisions were closed as described above. The VSG and Sham mice were immediately prepared for surgery.

Denervation and Cold Exposure in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
7-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were anesthetized using constant flow isoflurane inhalation and a small incision was made in the abdominal skin. One of two inguinal fat (subcutaneous WAT (sWAT)) pads was denervated and the other pad, used as the control, was injected with the vehicle. 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA, Sigma) was dissolved in PBS containing 1% ascorbic acid (9 mg/ml), and injected into the denervated pad using a 25 μl Hamilton syringe (2 μl for each injection, total 24 μl/pad) within 10 minutes. The same volume of vehicle, PBS containing 1% ascorbic acid was injected into the control fat pad. The needle was kept in place for 10 seconds after each injection to minimize reflux from the site of injection. The skin incision was closed with stainless steel wound clips and covered with nfz puffer to protect the wound from infection after injection. The mice were then administered with 1 mg/kg of buprenorphine by intraperitoneal injection. Two weeks post denervation, half of operated mice were individually housed in cages with free access to food and water continuously and exposed to cold (6 °C) for 2 days and all were then euthanized. Inguinal fat was isolated for flow cytometry analysis.

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.
