Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cnr2 knockout mice (CB2−/−, C57BL/6 J background) were obtained from Gempharmatech Co., Ltd. A total of 15 male CB2−/− mice (22 to 23 g) and 15 male wild-type mice (WT, C57BL/6 J, 22 to 23 g) aged 6 weeks were used in this study. The traffic light breeding strategy was used to obtain heterozygous mice. All mice were housed in temperature- and humidity-controlled cages with a 12:12 h light: dark cycle and had free access to food and water. They were fed a soft diet to minimize any discomfort or displacement of the orthodontic appliance. Mouse genotyping protocol was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify CB2−/− and WT mice from the offspring of heterozygous mice. The PCR protocol was provided by Gempharmatech Co., Ltd [16 (link), 17 (link)]. The mice were randomly allocated into two groups (Table 1)-WT orthodontic movement groups (WT OTM):0,7 and 14 days; CB2−/− orthodontic movement groups (CB2−/− OTM): 0, 7 and 14 days.

BLAB/C (female, 6–8 weeks, 18–22 g), C57BL/6J (female, 6–8 weeks, 18–22 g), and C57BL/6J (born within 24 h) were purchased from Jiangsu Gempharmatech Co, Ltd cGAS−/− mice were obtained from Prof. Cheng Qian of Nanjing Medical University. Mice were maintained in an animal facility under standard laboratory conditions for 1 week before the experiments and provided water and standard chow. The animal welfare and experimental procedures were approved by the Institutional Animal Ethnical and Welfare Committee of Nanjing University (IACUC-D2003011, Nanjing, China). All efforts were made to reduce the number of animals used and to minimize animals’ suffering.

Induction of Peritoneal Adhesions in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Jinling Hospital’s Animal Investigation Ethics Committee authorized all of the animal care and experimental protocols, which were carried out in strict accordance with the Chinese Guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Ministry of Science and Technology [2006] file no. 398). Pain was kept to a minimum by doing all procedures under anesthesia. Adhesion induction procedures were performed on wildtype B6 (C57BL/6J; GemPharmatech Co. Ltd., China) mice at 6–8 weeks. On the median line, a skin incision was made along the length of the abdomen. Based on the length of the peritoneum, a comparable midline abdominal incision was created in the peritoneum. The peritoneum was gently folded to the right and compressed with a hemostat. An ischemia button was inserted into the right side of the peritoneal wall after a tiny section of peritoneum (about 5 mm in diameter) was clamped with hemostatic forceps, the bottom of which was ligated with 4-0 silk (Suzhou Medical Co. Ltd., China), and the forceps were then released. Optionally, a light scrubbing of56 the button (20 times) and the adjacent liver, cecum, small intestine, and large intestine (7 times) could be performed with a surgical brush (depending on the desired severity of adhesions). The peritoneum and skin were closed with 4-0 silk sutures[25 ].

Liver Fibrosis Mouse Model Development

C57BL/6 J and B6/JGpt-Ccr2em8Cd6657/Gpt were obtained from GemPharmatech. C57BL/6J-TgN (Chicken-β-actin-LUC) ZLFILAS mice were obtained from Shanghai Sciencelight Biology Science&Technology. C57BL/6-Tg (CAG-EGFP) 1Osb/J mice were obtained from the Jackson Laboratory. All mice were housed under standard conditions as previously described [20 (link)]. The 8- to 12-week-old and sex-matched mice were used for the experimental procedures. For liver fibrosis models, mice were intraperitoneally injected with CCl4 (1 mL/kg; 1:10 [v/v] in olive oil, Sangon Biotech) twice a week for 4 weeks. The animals were sacrificed 72 h after the final CCl4 injection, and serum and whole livers were collected for biochemical, histological, and molecular analyses as previously described [31 (link)]. For the transplantation experiment, mice were treated with CCl4 for 4 weeks with eight injections, and 1 × 106 BM-MSCs were transplanted into mice 24 h after the final injection. The mice were then continually injected with CCl4 for another week until use. All animal experiments were performed in accordance with legal regulations and approved by a local ethics committee.

Rarα Knockout Mice Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C57/BL6 mice were purchased from the Guangdong Medical Laboratory Animal Center (Guangzhou, China). Rarα heterozygous knockout mice on the C57BL/6J background were purchased from Gempharmatech Co.,Ltd (Nanjing, China). The mice were housed in individually ventilated cages at 22 ± 1 °C for a 12 h light-dark cycle and ad libitum access to water and food. Rarα homozygous knockout mice were obtained from the mating of Rarα heterozygous parental mice at 1:1. The day after partum was designated as 0.5 days postpartum (dpp). For genotyping, genomic DNA was isolated from tail biopsies by PCR with a combination of two primers. The primers were synthesized at BGI Genomics (BGI-Tech, Shenzhen, China) and the sequences are listed in Supplementary Table S1. The females were observed continuously daily afternoon from 17 dpp until the vaginal opening and recorded. To avoid male interference, monitored females were caged individually at 21 dpp. All experiments were conducted under the Guidelines of the Animal Care and Use Committee of South China University of Technology. Unless otherwise stated, the reagents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA).

Male C57BL/6J (wild-type mice) and ob/ob (B6/JGpt-Lepem1Cd25/Gpt) mice were obtained from GemPharmatech Co., Ltd. (Nanjing, China). At 5 weeks of age, mice were housed in a temperature-controlled facility (21 °C, 12 h light/12 h dark cycle, 60–70% humidity). Standard laboratory food (60% cereals, 33% protein, and 3% oil) and water were given ad libitum. After 1 week of feeding, the mice were subjected to the different treatments at 6 weeks of age (25 ± 5 g). Body weight and blood glucose were measured weekly. All experiments were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of Northeast Normal University (SYXK 2018-0015). At the end of the experiments, serum and organ samples were collected for the determination of biochemical parameters. Further details about the biochemical analysis and histology methods are included in the Supporting Information (Appendix A).
The mice were treated with 20 mg/kg of the ginsenoside CK or DMSO (vehicle) through i.p. injection once a day for five weeks. The mice were orally administered 150 mg/kg orlistat as a positive control.

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.
