APAP-Induced Acute Liver Injury in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice (female and 8–14 weeks of age for evaluation of the acute liver injury) were fasted for 24 h with free access to water but not bedding and feces. Fifteen mg per ml APAP (Sigma-Aldrich) was freshly prepared in 0.9% isotonic sodium chloride solution (Otsuka Pharmaceutical, Tokyo, Japan) at 37°C. WT and Ifng−/− mice and Rag1−/− mice were intraperitoneally injected with 100 and 150 mg/ kg body weight of APAP, respectively, and had free access to food, water, bedding, and feces after APAP injection. Blood was collected 18 h after APAP injection and plasma samples were prepared by centrifugation at 2500 rpm (500 xg) for 15 min at 4°C. Concentrations of ALT in the plasma were measured by using DRI-CHEM 7000V and GPT/ALT-PIII slides (Fujifilm).
To deplete CD25+ cells, Rag1−/− mice were intraperitoneally injected with 250 μg mAb against mouse CD25 (clone PC61) 6 h before and after the injection of APAP. Anti-mouse CD25 (clone 7D4) was used for staining CD25 after depletion of CD25+ cells by using PC61.

Blood glucose levels were measured using a glucometer (ForaCare Japan Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). Free fatty acid levels were measured by LabAssay NEFA (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan).

TP4O Inhibits Subcutaneous Tumor Growth

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate the effect of TP4O in vivo, a subcutaneous tumor was induced. HCT116 cells (2×106 cells per mouse) were injected subcutaneously into the right flanks of 14 mice. Tumor volume was calculated using the following formula: 0.5 × length × width2. When tumor volume had reached 80–100 mm3, the 12 qualifying mice were randomly divided into two groups (n=6/group) and subcutaneously injected with one of the following: 250 µl saline (control group) or 200 mg/kg TP4O dissolved in 250 µl saline (TP4O group). Each mouse was injected once every 3 days (total, five times). The tumor volume was recorded every 3 days. Body weight was recorded the first day of the injection, on day 7 and at the end of experimentation (day 14). On day 14, blood samples were collected under anesthesia, the mice were sacrificed and the tumors were excized. To evaluate TP4O toxicity, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and serum creatinine levels were measured using an autoanalyzer (Dri-chem 7000 V; Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan).

Serum Creatinine and BUN Analysis in Rats

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples were drawn from every rat at weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8. After the rats were tightly caged, 2 ml of blood was collected from the tail vein using plain tubes. Blood samples were centrifuged at 3,500 rpm for 5 min, and clean non-hemolyzed serum was kept for analysis. The concentration of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were measured automatically by special kits (v-CRE-P and v-BUN-P, Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan) and a Chemistry Analyzer (Dri-chem 7000V, Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan).

Evaluating Intracerebroventricular HP-β-CD Effects on Liver Dysfunction in NPC1 Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To examine the effect of intracerebroventricular HP-β-CD on the hepatic dysfunction occurring in Npc1−/− mice, serum transaminase levels and liver pathological changes were evaluated. Blood was collected from the inferior vena cava. The blood samples were centrifuged at 3000× g for 10 min at 4 °C and the serum was then collected. Serum ALT levels were measured using an automated analysis device (FUJI DRI-CHEM 7000 V; FUJIFILM Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). Liver samples were immediately weighed and some of the liver lobes were frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C for the measurement of GPNMB level. The other liver lobes were immediately fixed in 4% PFA, made into paraffin-embedded sections, and cut into 4-μm-thick slices for H&E staining. Histopathological images were obtained using Biorevo BZ-9000 microscope system.

For biochemical assessments, including hepatic and renal function tests, serum was collected before the procedure and twice a week after partial pancreatectomy and STZ administration. Biochemical parameters were measured using an automatic analyser (DRI-CHEM 7000 V; Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan). Spot urine samples were obtained twice a week and measured by a urine dipstick test.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples were centrifuged at 3000 g for 10 minutes at room temperature to separate serum. ALT, AST and ammonia concentrations were evaluated with a dry chemistry analyser (FUJI DRICHEM 7000 V, FUJIFILM, Tokyo, Japan). Fecal samples (100 mg) were suspended in 1 ml PBS, and supernatants were obtained by centrifuging at 13000 g for 10 minutes. The cerebrum of mice was fully ground in 500ul PBS, and the supernatants were spun at 13000 g for 10 minutes at room temperature to obtain the supernatants. The fecal and brain ammonia levels were also detected by the dry chemistry analyser. The acetate levels were determined with Acetate Colorimetric Assay Kit (Sigma-Aldrich, US). Proline levels were detected using the Proline (PRO) Content Assay Kit (Solarbio, China).

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.
