Brain slices were stimulated with DHPG and were collected (2 slices per sample) in radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (25 mM Tris HCl pH 7.6, 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS). The samples were clarified by centrifugation at 14,000× g and the protein concentration was determined using a bicinchoninic acid assay kit (BCA; Thermo Scientific, Merelbeke, Belgium). The samples were heated for 10 min at 70 °C. A total of 10 μg of protein for each sample was loaded on a 7% SDS-polyacrylamide gel and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. After blocking with 5% non-fat milk, the membranes were probed overnight with anti-Arc (1/1000, Cell Signaling, Leiden, The Netherlands), anti-phospho-p44/42 MPK (pERK1/2, 1/1000, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-spectrin (1/1500, Merck Millipore, Overijse, Belgium), anti-B56α (1/250, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), anti-GluA1 (1/500, Merck Millipore), anti-GluA2 (1/1000, Merck Millipore), anti-GAPDH (1/1000, Cell Signaling Technology), or anti-β tubulin (1/1000, Neuromics, Edina, MN, USA). The membranes were then incubated with secondary antibodies coupled to peroxidase (Dako, Agilent Technologies, Diegem, Belgium) and peroxidase was detected with Pierce ECL Plus (Thermo Scientific) on ECL hyperfilm.

Forelimb Reaching Task and Synaptic Protein Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four hours following an ICV injection of saline or 50 μM FC, mice were trained on the forelimb-reaching task. On the following day, the M1 forelimb regions from both hemispheres were dissected out from two coronal slices (750 μm). The tissue was homogenized in sucrose media (0.32 M sucrose, 10 mM HEPES, and 1 mM EDTA) using a hand held homogenizer. The homogenate was spun at 1,500 rpm for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant was then spun at 13,300 rpm for 15 min at 4°C, to separate the synaptosomal fraction. This was resuspended in ACSF and protein concentration was estimated. Synaptosomes were lysed in RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris.HCl, 25 mM NaCl, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% Na deoxycholate, 1% Triton X 100, and 0.5 M EDTA). Proteins were separated on 4–15% Bio-Rad Mini-Protean TGX Precast SDS–PAGE gels and transferred to polyvinyl difluoride membranes. The membranes were probed with anti-GluA1 (1 : 1,500, Millipore) and anti-GAPDH (1 : 4,000, Cell Signaling). The membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (anti-rabbit 1 : 2,500), and bands visualized using a Cell Biosciences FluorChem HD2 system.

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.
