L-menthol was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and dissolved in ethanol (100%) at 1 M concentration. The compound was further diluted with buffer solution used for Ca2+ imaging experiments that contained (in mM): NaCl 138, Na2PO4 8, CaCl2 2, MgCl2 0.5, KCl 2.7, KH2PO4 1.6; pH 7.4. In the low Ca2+ solution, CaCl2 was replaced with 10 mM EGTA. The final concentration of the solvents were < 0.1% in all experimental solutions. At these concentrations the solvents did not affect/modify the evoked Ca2+ responses in control experiments (data not shown). N-(p-amylcinnamoyl)-anthranilic acid (ACA), N-methyl-D glutamine (NMDG), apyrase, AMTB-hydrate (AMTB), suramin, N-acetyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (ACDEVD-AMC), penicillin-streptomycin and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA). Dihydrorhodamine-123 (DHR-123) was from Molecular Probes (Eugene, OR, USA). N-acetyl-Leu-Glu-His-Asp-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AC-LEHD-AMC) was purchased from Bachem (Bubendorf, Switzerland). Icilin, Capsazepine (CapZ) and BCTC were obtained from Tocris Bioscience (Bristol, UK). All reagents were of analytical grade.

Cells were infected with WNVKUN strain MRM61C at a multiplicity of infection (m.o.i.) of 0.5, 2 or 3 as has been described previously (34). Vero and BHK cells (both from ATCC) were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 5% FBS (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) at 37°C with 5% CO2. Vero, HEK-293T and LN-18 cells for gene silencing experiments and enzyme activity measurements (cPLA2 assay kit) were maintained in EMEM, supplemented with 1mM non-essential amino acids and 10% FBS. C6/36 mosquito cells were maintained in L-15 (Leibovitz) media buffered by phosphates and supplemented with 10% FBS at 28C. Chemicals C75 (final concentration of 30μM), Palmityl trifluoromethyl ketone (PACOCF3; final concentration of 15μM), N-(p-Amylcinnamoyl)anthranilic acid (ACA; final concentration of 20μM) and N-Ethylmaleimide (NME; final concentration of 100μM) were all purchased from Sigma. The lyso-PChol mix (final concentration of 1.5μM of 500nM 18:0, 500nM 18:1 and 500nM 20:0 lyso-PChol) and fluorophore tagged lyso-PChol (lyso-PChol488; final concentration of 5μM or 20μM) were purchased from Avanti Polar Lipids Inc. Cytotoxicity was assessed by serial dilution of each chemical on Vero cells and viability assessed with the CytoTox 96 Non-Radioactive Cytotoxicity Assay (Promega).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole-cell recordings were carried out at room temperature using an Axopatch 200B amplifier. Patch electrodes with a resistance of 3–5 MΩ were fabricated from borosilicate glass (Sutter Instrument). The protocols for electrophysiological recordings were described in our previous studies (Luo et al., 2018 (link), 2019 (link)). Briefly, voltage ramps with 500 ms duration from-100 mV to +100 mV were applied every 5 s. The currents at-80 mV were denoted by circles in figures. The intracellular solution (ICS) of 500 μM ADPR contained: 147 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.05 mM EGTA, 10 mM Hepes, and 500 μM ADPR (pH 7.4, adjusted with NaOH). The ICS of 50 mM Ca2+ contained: 50 mM CaCl2, 75 mM NaCl, 1 mM MgCl2, and 10 mM Hepes (pH 7.4, adjusted with NaOH). For all experiments, the standard extracellular solution (ECS) contained: 147 mM NaCl, 2 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 2 mM CaCl2, 10 mM Hepes, and 13 mM glucose (pH 7.4, adjusted with NaOH). To confirm the TRPM2 channel currents, 20 mM N-(pamylcinnamoyl) anthranilic acid (ACA; Sigma) was applied at the end of each recording, and only the cells whose currents were completely inhibited by ACA were used for analysis.

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.
