The following drugs were used: Thrombin from human plasma (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, USA); human isoform of BDNF (purchased from Alomone Labs, Jerusalem, Israel); (±)-Vesamicol hydrochloride and Bafilomycin A1 as direct and indirect inhibitor of vesicular ACh transport, respectively; ANA12 as TrkB receptor antagonist, U73122 and U73343 as PLC inhibitor and its inactive analog, respectively; U0126 and U0124 as MEK1/2 inhibitor and its inactive analog, respectively; H-89 dihydrochloride as PKA inhibitor; ZM241385 as adenosine A2A receptor antagonist and CGS21680 as A2A receptor agonist (purchased from Tocris, Bio-Techne, Minneapolis, MN, USA). Thrombin and BDNF were dissolved in deionized water. Stock solutions of all other drugs were prepared in DMSO (Helicon, Moscow, Russia). The final concentrations of DMSO in the working solution did not exceed 0.01% (v/v). At this concentration, the solvent did not affect the parameters of spontaneous and evoked activity in mouse NMJs. All drugs were applied via bath perfusion system (0.5 mL/min).

Effortful Choice Paradigm in Rats

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to assess the role of D2-expressing medium spiny neurons in our effortful choice paradigm, a subset of rats were injected intraperitoneally with vehicle (5% DMSO) or the selective A2A agonist CGS 21680 (Bio-Techne, Abingdon, U.K.; 0.05 and 0.1 mg/kg) immediately prior to behavioral testing. Doses were given in escalating order (0, 0.05, 0.1 mg/kg) on 3 days separated by 2-day washout periods.

Synaptosomal cAMP Accumulation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synaptosomal cAMP accumulation was measured using the LANCE Ultra cAMP kit (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA) as previously described49 (link). In brief, total striatal synaptosomal membranes (0.5 μg) from GPR37+/+ and GPR37−/− mice were resuspended in stimulation buffer (HBSS 1X, 5 mM Hepes pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.1% BSA) and subsequently processed for cAMP accumulation. Thus, vehicle, forskolin (1 μM; Sigma-Aldrich) or CGS21680 (500 nM; Tocris Biosciences, Bristol, UK) were added for 30 min at 22 °C before the lysis and cAMP quantification in a POLARStar microplate reader (BMG Labtech, Durham, NC, USA). cAMP levels were calculated as previously described49 (link).

Optogenetic Modulation of Hippocampal LTP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The recording of the evoked field excitatory postsynaptic potentials (fEPSP) in the CA1 stratum radiatum upon stimulation of Schaffer fibers every 20-sec, were as previously described69 in hippocampal slices (400μm) prepared two weeks after transfection with AAV5-CaMKIIa-mCherry without or with optoA2AR in hippocampus. A high frequency stimulation (HFS) train (100Hz, 1-sec) was used to induce long-term potentiation (LTP). Light stimuli, applied immediately before HFS, consisted of 3000 light pulses (465nm, 50ms pulse width, ~3-5mW/mm2 power density) over 300-sec and the optic fiber was placed over the slice between the stimulation and recording electrodes. CGS21680 (30nM; Tocris) was added to the superfusion solution 20-min before HFS onwards.

Induction of Respiratory Tolerance in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
OT‐I mice were systemically tolerized by repeated i.p. injection of 2 μg OVA257 peptide in 100 μL PBS, on days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7. For A2A receptor agonist treatment, CGS21680 (Tocris Bioscience, 100 mM in DMSO) was diluted in PBS and injected separately i.p. at 25 μg/mouse. Control animals were given diluent (DMSO in PBS) alone. In IL‐12 neutralization experiments, 0.5 mg anti‐IL‐12 (clone C17.8, BioXCell, West Lebanon, NH) or rat IgG control (Sigma) was injected i.p. in PBS on days 0, 2, and 4. For respiratory tolerance in C57BL/6 mice, animals were given 50 μg OVA (Grade V, Sigma) in PBS i.n. on days 0, 1, 2, and 3. Mice were killed on day 6 and bronchoalveolar lavage performed with 1 mL PBS. Lungs were excised, cut into pieces, and digested with collagenase (type IV, Sigma, 0.5 mg/mL in DMEM + 10% FCS) for 45 min before release of lung cells by pipetting.

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.
