Measuring Spinal Cord Tracer Uptake in EAE Rats

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess the difference of tracer uptake in rat spinal cord, 20 μm slices from EAE and sham rats were incubated with 2.8 MBq/mL [11C]GSK1482160 at room temperature for 30 min, following by a 15-min pre-incubation in 50 mM Tris–HCl buffer (pH 7.4). Following this incubation, sections were washed 2 times in assay buffer at 4 °C and rinsed once in distilled water at 4 °C to remove buffer salts. Then the slides were air-dried and exposed to the storage phosphor screen in an imaging cassette for 2 – 4 hrs in −20° C at dark. The distribution of radioactivity was visualized by a Fuji Bio-Imaging Analyzer FLA-7000 (Fuji Photo Film, Tokyo, Japan). Photo-stimulated luminescence was quantified using Multi Gauge v3.0 software (Fuji Photo Film, Tokyo, Japan). Data were background-corrected and expressed as photo-stimulated luminescence signals per square millimeter (PSL/mm2).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To confirm the specificity of the radiotracer [11C]TZ3321 binding toward S1PR1, in vitro autoradiography study was conducted. Twenty micrometer slices from snap-frozen femoral plaque tissues were incubated with 2 µCi/ml [11C]TZ3321 at room temperature for 30 min, following a 15-min pre-incubation in the binding buffer (50 mM HEPES-Na (pH 7.5), 5 mM MgCl2, and 1 mM CaCl2, 0.5 % fatty acid-free BSA). A S1PR1-specific compound SEW2871 (10 µM) was used as a block agent to check the binding specificity of [11C]TZ3321 toward S1PR1. Following this incubation, sections were washed two times in assay buffer at 4 °C and rinsed once in distilled water at 4 °C to remove buffer salts. Then, the slides were dried and exposed to the storage phosphor screen (BAS-IP-MS-2025) in an imaging cassette for 4 h in − 20 °C at dark. The distribution of radioactivity was visualized by a Fuji Bio-Imaging Analyzer FLA-7000 (Fuji Photo Film, Tokyo, Japan).

Example 54

To check the binding specificity of [18F]12a toward S1P1 in the brain, in vitro autoradiography study was performed using rat brain slices. Adult female Lewis rats (n=2, 100-125 g, Charles River) were used to perform the autoradiography study. The rats (n=2) was euthanized and the brains were collected and cut into 20 μm sequential sections using a Microm cryotome and mounted on glass slides. For the control study, the slides were incubated with ˜6 nM of [18F]12a at RT for 60 min. For the blocking studies, slides were incubated with [18F]12a in the presence of 10 μM of SEW2871 at RT for 60 min. Following the incubation, the brain sections were washed and exposed to the Storage Phosphor Screen in an imaging cassette overnight in −20° C. at dark for 12 h. The distribution of radioactivity was visualized by a Fuji Bio-Imaging Analyzer FLA-7000 (Fuji Photo Film, Tokyo, Japan). Photo-stimulated luminescence (PSL) from the brain slices was quantified using Multi Gauge v3.0 software (Fuji Photo Film Co., Tokyo, Japan). Data were background-corrected, and expressed as photo-stimulated luminescence signals per square millimeter (PSL/mm2). In vitro autoradiography study showed that SEW2871 was able to reduce ˜30% of radioactivity, demonstrating that [18F]12a has specific binding with S1P1 (FIG. 3).

Ex vivo Autoradiography of Novel PET Ligands

For the ex vivo autoradiography study, mature male SD rats (~250 g) were injected with ~20 MBq of (-)-[11C]8 or (-)-[18F]14a in 10% ethanol in saline via the tail vein under isoflurane/oxygen anaesthesia. The rats were euthanized after 30 min for (-)-[11C]8 or 60 min for (-)-[18F]14a, and the brains were quickly removed and frozen. The frozen brains were then sectioned into 100 μm transverse slices and mounted on glass slides. Frozen slides were directly exposed to a BAS storage phosphor screen film (BAS-IP-MS-2025) in an imaging cassette (Fuji Photo Film Co., Tokyo, Japan) for 12 h at −80 °C under the dark. The distribution of radioactivity was visualized by a Fuji Bio-Imaging Analyzer FLA-7000 (Fuji Photo Film Co., Tokyo, Japan). Photo-stimulated luminescence (PSL) from the striatum and cerebellum was quantified using Multi Gauge v3.0 software (Fuji Photo Film Co., Tokyo, Japan). Data were background-corrected and expressed as photo-stimulated luminescence signals per square millimeter (PSL/mm2), then normalized to provide the ratio of striatum to cerebellum.

Rats (n = 2) were anesthetized with 2-3% isoflurane/oxygen, and were injected with [11C]TZ1964B (~ 74 MBq) via the tail vein. At 30 min post injection, rats were euthanized and the whole brains were dissected. Intact brains were flash frozen in dry ice, pre-cooled in isopentane and stored on dry ice. Horizontal sections (100 μm) were cut with a Microm cryostat and mounted on superfrost plus glass slides (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA). Frozen slides were instantly exposed the film in an imaging cassette BAS- TR2025 (Fuji Photo Film, Tokyo, Japan) for 12 h in −20° C at dark.

Validating Tracer Uptake in Spinal Cord

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To exclude the possibility that the increase of tracer uptake was caused by the leakage of blood-brain barrier (BBB), 20 μm slices of snap-frozen rat lumbar spinal cord were incubated with 1 nM [18F]VAT in the assay buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 120 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, pH 7.4) at room temperature for 60 min. Non-specific binding was determined by using adjacent sections incubated with an additional 10 μM vesamicol, a potent VAChT Inhibitor, in the assay buffer. Following the incubation, the sections were washed and exposed to the storage phosphor screen in an imaging cassette overnight in −80 °C in the dark. The distribution of radioactivity were visualized by a Fuji Bio-Imaging Analyzer FLA-7000 (Fuji Photo Film, Tokyo, Japan).

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.
