Na+-dependence of [3H]nisoxetine binding to dDAT was determined using 0.5 μg  ml−1 of purified dDAT mixed with 12 nM [3H]nisoxetine (80.4 Ci mmol−1, PerkinElmer), 108 nM nisoxetine, and buffer containing 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 0.05% (w/v) DDM, 0.01% (w/v) CHS, 14 μM lipids (3:1:1, POPC:POPE:POPG)) supplemented with the indicated NaCl and KCl concentrations. The ionic strength was maintained by substituting Na+ and K+ with NMDG+. The indicated conditions were added to a clear-bottom, 96-well plate (Corning) and incubated with agitation at 4 °C. 5% (v/v) YSi-Cu His-Tag SPA beads (Perkin Elmer) was added to each well. Plates were sealed, mixed at RT on an agitator and left to settle at RT for 2 h. Plates were counted on a 2450 MicroBeta2 microplate counter (PerkinElmer). Each independent experiment was performed in triplicates. The experiments were performed with dDAT from two independent purifications.

Binding assays were performed with 20 nM of purified dDAT protein by scintillation proximity assay. For determining nisoxetine Kd, [3H] Nisoxetine (Perkin Elmer) (in 1:5 molar ratio) was used in the range of 0.1 nM to 500 nM with 100 µM desipramine added to the control samples. Competition assays were done with 50 nM [3H] Nisoxetine (in 1:5 molar ratio) with the concentration range for tramadol (Sigma Aldrich) being 100 nM to 3 mM, duloxetine (Sigma Aldrich) from 0.1 nM to 30 µM and milnacipran (Sigma Aldrich) from 1 nM to 100 µM. The assays were done in 1 mM DDM, 0.2 mM CHS, 20 mM Tris-Cl (pH 8), 300 mM NaCl and 5% glycerol. The background values were subtracted to plot the final curves in GraphPad prism v5.0.1 and the Kd values were calculated. The IC50 values obtained from binding competition assays were used to deduce the Ki values by Cheng–Prusoff’s equation.

The activity of purified dDAT was assessed by scintillation proximity assay (SPA). 50 ng per well (7 nM) of protein was incubated with 1.25 mg ml−1 copper yttrium silicate (Cu-YSi) beads (PerkinElmer) in buffer A supplemented with 200 mM NaCl. Nisoxetine saturation binding was set up using 10% [3H]nisoxetine (79.8 Ci mmol−1; PerkinElmer). DA competition binding assays was performed with 30 nM [3H]nisoxetine and increasing concentration of unlabeled DA. Non-specific binding was determined in the presence of 100 µM unlabelled nortriptyline. SPA experiments were set up in triplicate wells of a 96-well white wall clear bottom plate. The samples were incubated for 30 min at room temperature. The samples were further incubated for 16 h incubation at 4 °C for nisoxetine saturation binding experiments. [3H]nisoxetine binding was monitored using a MicroBeta liquid scintillation plate counter (PerkinElmer) using a 1-min counting protocol. Data were analyzed by non-linear regression analysis and fitted to a one-site saturation or dose-response function, respectively, using GraphPad Prism 7 software (GraphPad, San Diego, CA).

Frozen frontal cortex membranes33 (link) dissected from male Sprague-Dawley rat brains (supplied on ice from Bioreclamation, Hicksville, NY) were homogenized in 20 volumes (w/v) of 50 mM Tris buffer (300 mM NaCl and 5 mM KCl, adjusted to pH 7.4) at 25 °C using a Brinkman Polytron (Setting 6 for 20 s). The tissue was centrifuged at 48,400 × g for 10 min at 4 °C. The resulting pellet was suspended in fresh buffer and centrifuged again. The final pellet was resuspended in cold binding buffer to a concentration of 80 mg/mL OWW. Experiments were conducted in glass assay tubes containing 50 μL of various concentrations of the inhibitor, diluted using 30% DMSO vehicle, 300 μL of Tris buffer. 50 μL of [3H]nisoxetine (final concentration 0.5 nM; Perkin-Elmer Life Sciences), and 100 μL of tissue (8.0 mg/tube OWW). The reaction was started with the addition of the tissue, and the tubes were incubated for 180 min at 0–4 °C. Nonspecific binding was determined using 10 μM desipramine.

Radioligand Binding Assay for NET

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For NET binding assays, [3H]nisoxetine binding was performed
essentially as described by Tejani-Butt et al.60 (link) The cortical membrane pellet was resuspended in 50 mM Tris-HCl
buffer, pH 7.4, containing 300 mM NaCl and 5 mM KCl (T2 buffer). The
binding assay was performed incubating aliquots of membranes (0.2–0.3
mg of protein) in T2 buffer with 1 nM [3H]nisoxetine (specific
activity, 80 Ci mmol–1; PerkinElmer Life Science)
in a final volume of 0.5 mL. Incubation was carried out at 4 °C
for 4 h. Nonspecific binding was defined in the presence of 10 μM
desipramine. Specific binding was obtained by subtracting nonspecific
binding from total binding and approximated to 85–90% of total
binding. The binding reaction was quenched by filtration through Whatman
GF/C glass-fiber filters using a Brandel Harvester. Filters were washed
four times with 5 mL of the ice-cold binding buffer and placed in
vials with 4 mL of a scintillation cocktail. Radioactivity was measured
by means of a β-counter.
NET binding parameters (maximal
binding capacity, Bmax, fmol/mg protein;
dissociation constant, Kd, nM) were evaluated
in rabbit cortical membranes by measuring specific binding of [3H]nisoxetine
at increasing concentrations of the radioligand.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were decapitated and brain regions, including the raphe nucleus, ventral tegmental area, dorsal striatum, and locus coeruleus were dissected on ice and homogenized with 25 ml of ice cold buffer containing 50mM tris, 5mM MgCl2, pH 7.4. Homogenates were centrifuged for 20min at 15 000 x g. The pellet was resuspended and centrifuged under the same condition three times. To the final suspension (0.2-0.6 mg/ml) was added for one hour. [ 3 H]nisoxetine (21.3Ci/mmol; Perkin Elmer; USA) and (1nM-10µM) imipramine were used for NET binding. The process was terminated by immersing the tubes in ice cold buffer followed by rapid filtration through Whatman GF/B filters. Radioactivity was measured using liquid scintillation counting. Binding data were analyzed using the iterative non-linear fitting software GraphPad Prism 4.0 to estimate dissociation constants (K D ) and maximum number of sites (B max ).

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.
