SIET Recordings with Ion Inhibitors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ROMK inhibitor (VU591 and BaCl2), NKCC inhibitor (bumetanide), NKA inhibitor (ouabain) and tight junction inhibitor (2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine, TAP) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. A stock solution of VU591 was prepared by dissolving it into dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, Sigma-Aldrich). The final concentration of DMSO in the working solutions (including the control group) was 0.1%. BaCl2 stock solution was prepared by dissolving it in redistilled water. Stock solutions of bumetanide were prepared by dissolving it in ethanol (Sigma-Aldrich). The final concentration of ethanol in the working solutions (including the control group) was 0.1%. TAP was directly dissolved with NW to the final concentrations. Before SIET recordings, the larvae were incubated in 1 ml of NW medium with different concentrations of inhibitors for 30 min. 0.1% DMSO or ethanol was added to the control group. After incubation, the larvae were transferred to the recording medium that contained no inhibitor. The inhibitor was not added to the recording medium to prevent alteration of the selectivity of the microelectrodes. In preliminary tests, VU591 (100 μM) was found to increase the background voltage of recording medium by 2.6% and decrease the Nernstian slope to 54.5 ± 0.5 (n = 5). Other inhibitors used in this study did not significantly alter the voltage or slope of calibration curve.

The effective systemic dose of Bumetanide on neonatal seizures in rats is 0.1–0.5 mg/kg (21 (link), 25 (link)). We administered 0.2 mg/kg of Bumetanide twice a day in repeated doses as previously described (26 (link)). Bumetanide (B3023; Sigma-Aldrich) was dissolved in 100% ethyl alcohol and then diluted with 0.9% saline to a final concentration of 0.05 mg/mL. Bumetanide solution (0.2 mg/kg) or equal volumes of 0.9% saline (4 mL/kg) was injected twice daily from P12 to P20 or P26. MEMRI was performed on P21 or P27 for each rat.

For gramicidin-perforated patch-clamp recordings 10 μg/ml Gramicidin D (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, United States) was added from a stock solution (2 mg/ml in DMSO) on the day of experiment. Gramicidin D, bumetanide, and lidocaine-N-ethyl chloride was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich and 6-Cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX) was obtained from Biotrend (Cologne, Germany). CNQX and bumetanide were used from a dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO, Sigma-Aldrich) stock solution. The DMSO concentration of the final solution never exceeded 0.1%.

Systemic and Topical Ototoxicity Induction

For systemic assays, animals were injected sub-cutaneously with a solution of gentamicin sulphate or kanamycin sulphate in normal saline (400–500 mg/kg; Sigma, Gillingham, U.K.) followed 20–30 min later by an intra-peritoneal injection of bumetanide (50 mg/kg; Sigma) or furosemide solution (100 mg/kg; Sigma). For topical application to the cochlea, anaesthesia was induced with isoflurane, the auditory bulla was accessed through a retro-auricular incision and windowed using a scalpel blade. Aminoglycoside and diuretic solutions (as above) were applied directly to the round window; in some cases, animals were implanted with a gelatin sponge (Cutanplast, Sheffield, U.K.) pre-soaked in an aminoglycoside/diuretic mixture. The bulla was sealed using a plug of fascia held in place with Vetbond adhesive (3 M, Bracknell, U.K.). The muscle layer and wound were closed with absorbable Vicryl suture material (Ethicon, Norderstedt, Germany) and the animal allowed to recover.

One hundred twenty C57BL/6J male mice weighing 22–24 g were purchased from Shanghai SLAC Laboratory Animal Co. Ltd. and used in the present study. Ninety-six mice were randomly divided into control and fat embolism groups 1–5 (n = 16 per group). Injectable fat was gathered from perinephric fat from allogeneic mice and homogenized to rupture the cell membrane, then centrifuged. Mice in the fat embolism groups were intravenously injected with 2 μL/g fat. Lung tissue was obtained 4, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after fat injection. Sixteen mice were intravenously injected with the same volume of sterile saline as the control group. Pentobarbital at a dosage of 70 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected as anesthesia. For protein function experiments, the AQP1 inhibitor bumetanide (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) was dissolved in a NaOH liquor at a concentration of 2.25 g/L and intraperitoneally injected at a dose of 0.1 mg/g before fat injection, another AQP1 inhibitor Acetazolamide (Sigma) was intragastrically administered at a volume of 0.1 mL per mice (40 mg·kg−1·d−1), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
