Screening FDA-Approved Drugs in Zebrafish Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At 5 dpf, zebrafish larvae were incubated in treatment solutions for 3 h prior to imaging, and for 3 h during imaging, using 96-well ProxiPlates (PerkinElmer, 6006290). Zebrafish larvae were treated with 190 FDA-approved compounds using a Tocris small-molecule library (Tocris Bioscience, Cat. No. 7200). The library contained 10 mM stocks dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which we diluted 1000 × in egg water to a 10 µM final concentration. The imaging experiments also included untreated larvae in egg water and larvae treated with 1 µl/ml DMSO as a vehicle control. The effects of FDA-approved drugs were compared to previously obtained results26 (link), with 10 µM cyclosporine A (CsA, Enzo Life Sciences), 1 µM tacrolimus (FK506, Enzo Life Sciences), 1 µM rapamycin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and 5 and 10 µM proINDY (Tocris Bioscience).

Screening FDA-Approved Drugs for Zebrafish Behavior

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Using 96-well ProxiPlates (PerkinElmer, 6006290), 5 dpf zebrafish larvae were incubated in treatment solutions for 3 h before imaging, and for 3 h during the imaging session. Zebrafish larvae were treated with 190 FDA-approved compounds using a Tocris small-molecule library (Tocris Bioscience, Cat. No. 7200). The library contained 10 mM stocks dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which was diluted 1000 × in egg water to a 10 µM final concentration. The control groups consisted of untreated larvae in egg water and larvae treated with 1 µl/ml DMSO serving as vehicle control. The behavioral effects of FDA-approved drugs were compared to previously obtained results20 (link) with 10 µM cyclosporine A (CsA, Enzo Life Sciences), 1 µM tacrolimus (FK506, Enzo Life Sciences), 1 µM rapamycin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), 5 and 10 µM proINDY (Tocris Bioscience) and a rescue experimental group typically consisting of calcineurin inhibitor along with proINDY. The rescue group for the current study consisted of four combinations—10 µM CsA + 5 μM proINDY, 10 µM CsA + 10 μM proINDY, 1 µM tacrolimus + 5 μM proINDY and 1 µM tacrolimus + 10 μM proINDY.

Inhibition of iNOS Expression in Macrophages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Inhibition of iNOS expression in macrophage cells were examined by using NFAT specific inhibitors: (i) Cyclosporine A [CsA] (Enzo Life Sciences) and (ii) cell permeable peptide - 11R-VIVIT (Calbiochem). 11R-VEET custom synthesized from Gene Script was used as control peptide. The BMDM-Luc were seeded in culture dishes in complete medium for 24 h and then starved in 2% FBS containing medium for overnight, and cells were treated with CsA (10 μM, 30 min) or 11R-VIVIT (5 μM, 1 h) and then challenged with LPS (100 ng/ml) for 12 to 16 h. The cells were lysed in RIPA buffer and immuno-blotted for iNOS.

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.
