Cannabinoid Receptor Modulation in Neuropathic Pain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TMX (Sigma T5648) was dissolved into corn oil and was injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) once every other day, a total of five times, 2 mg/day (10 mg total dose) (Feil et al., 2009 (link); Anastassiadis et al., 2010 (link)). Subsequent verification and CCI modeling were performed 14 days after the final injection.
AM1241 (Sigma A6478) is a CB2 agonist, and AM630 (Sigma SML0327) is a highly specific CB2 antagonist. The drug was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), Tween 80, and normal saline (the ratio is 1:2:7). To determine the relationship between neuropathic pain and CB2, 36 WT mice were randomly divided into WT CCI + vehicle (DMSO:Tween 80:normal saline = 1:2:7), WT CCI + 0.1, 1, 3 mg/kg AM1241 (Sigma A6478; Wu et al., 2021 (link); Lozano-Ondoua et al., 2010 (link); Ma et al., 2021 (link)) groups, and WT CCI + 1, 3 mg/kg AM630 (Sigma SML0327; Malan et al., 2001 (link); Buffon et al., 2020 (link); Sultana et al., 2021 (link)) groups (n = 6 at each group). Fifteen CB1cKO mice were randomly divided into CB1cKO CCI + vehicle and CB1cKO CCI + 3, 5 mg/kg AM630 (n = 5 at each group). AM1241/AM630 or its vehicle (0.1 ml) was injected i.p. daily from 12th to 17th day after CCI surgery.

Propofol Preconditioning Attenuates Myocardial I/R Injury

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Young rat myocardial I/R injury models were used. Before ischemia, the rats were preconditioned with or without propofol. We further tested the role of receptor signaling in propofol conditioning by intravenous injection of selective CB1R antagonists AM251 (Sigma, 1 mg/kg) or selective CB2R antagonists AM630 (Sigma, 1 mg/kg) 1.5 hours prior to ischemia irrespective of propofol conditioning or not. The dosage and timing of AM251 or AM630 were taken from the study by Hajrasouliha et al. [17 (link)]. The two drugs were used separately in our study which comprised seven groups with six rats for each group. 24 hours after reperfusion, infarct area was evaluated using Evans blue plus TTC staining. Serum cTnI levels were measured 2 hours after ischemia. Oxidative-redox state indicators including serum MDA, MPO, and SOD were also measured at 24 hours of reperfusion.

The CB2R agonist JWH015 (2 µg; sigma, USA) and antagonist AM630 (1 µg; sigma, USA) were dissolved in 5 µL of 20% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (in normal saline). On day 14 after sarcoma cells implantation, mice in the tumor+JWH015 group received a single intrathecal injection of 2 µg of JWH015. Mice in the tumor+AM630+JWH015 group received a single intrathecal injection of 1 µg of AM630 30 min before the injection of JWH015. Mice in the tumor+vehicle group received the same volume of 20% DMSO under identical conditions as the control. Doses of these compounds were based on our previous study.18 (link)

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.
