Rat Model of Oxaliplatin-Induced Neuropathy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Oxaliplatin (Tocris Bioscience, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) was dissolved in a 5% glucose solution at a final concentration of 2 mg/ml. Acute neurotoxicity was induced in rats by a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of Oxaliplatin (6 mg/kg), as described previously [7 (link), 8 (link)]. Control rats received the same volume of i.p. injection of vehicle. Mechanical allodynia and cold hypersensitivity were fully developed by OXL 3 days after injection.
PAR2 antagonist FSLLRY-NH2 (Tocris Bioscience, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and TRPA1 antagonist HC030031 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) were injected i.p. and then mechanical and cold sensitivity were determined within 8 hrs after the drugs administration. The separated animals were used for experiments of the dosage response in each group.

Evaluating PAR-2 Modulation in Post-ACA Outcomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The potential treatment effects of PAR-2 inhibition as well as the detrimental effects of PAR-2 activation on ACA outcomes were examined. Given the lack of a prior literature evidence regarding the optimum dose for the use of selective PAR-2 inhibitor, we have administered 2 different doses of FSLLRY-NH2 (50 μg/rat or 100 μg/rat; Tocris Bioscience, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) intranasally at 1 hour post-resuscitation. Selective PAR-2 agonist (AC55541; 30 μg/rat; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, Texas, USA) was intranasally administered intranasally at 2 hours post-resuscitation (unpublished data). Short-term neurologic functions were assessed by using the neurological deficit score (NDS), number of seizures and T-maze test over 7 days after ACA. The effects of FSLLRY-NH2 and AC-55541 on hippocampal neuron degeneration were evaluated by Fluoro-Jade C (FJC) staining at 7 days following ACA. Based on better outcomes observed following the administration of FSLLRY-NH2 at a dose of 50 μg, this dose was used for the mechanism study.

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.
