Total protein was isolated and quantified using a modified Bradford assay (Bio‐Rad). Western blot analyses were performed using the following primary antibodies: mouse anti‐COASY (Santa Cruz sc‐393812, 1/1,000), rat anti‐D1 dopamine receptor (Sigma D2944, 1/1,000), mouse anti‐TFR1 (ThermoFisher 13‐6800, 1/3,000), rabbit anti‐pyruvate dehydrogenase (Cell Signaling 3205, 1/3,000), rabbit anti‐VDAC (Cell Signaling 4661, 1/5,000), mouse anti‐MSH6 (BD 610918, 1/10,000), and mouse anti‐β actin (ThermoFisher AM4302, 1/10,000). Most of the primary antibody binding was visualized with the traditional method using a HRP‐conjugated secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, 1/10,000) and ECL substrate (SuperSignal™ West Pico PLUS, ThermoFisher). However, anti‐DRD1 and its loading control (anti‐MSH6) were visualized using a biotinylated secondary antibody and Alexa Fluor™ 488‐conjugated streptavidin (ThermoFisher, 1/4,000). The fluorescent Western blot signal was captured using iBright™ FL1000 (ThermoFisher).

The immunohistochemistry was performed in the adult behaviorally naïve mice using DAB immunostaining. The following primary antibodies were used: rabbit anti-tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology sc14007; diluted 1:500), rat anti dopamine transporter (DAT) (Chemicon MAB369; diluted 1:1000), rat anti-dopamine D1 receptor (D1R) (Sigma Aldrich D2944; diluted 1:1000) and rabbit anti-dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) (Chemicon AB5084P; diluted 1:500). The specificity of immunoreactions of the primary antibodies were assessed and validated in several recent publications14 (link),27 (link),28 (link). Microscopic analysis and quantification were conducted using densitometry and steriological methods. The full description of the tissue processing for the immunohistochemistry and the image quantification methods are provided in the supplementary file.

Immunohistochemical Detection of Dopamine Receptors

A second and third set of tissues was assayed for D1 and D2. For D1, tissues were incubated in primary antibody rat anti-D1 (1:1,000, Sigma Aldrich D2944) for 48 hours at 4°C. Specificity of D1 antibody was validated by omission of primary antibody and by a previous prebsorption and Western blot study (24 (link)). Tissues were incubated for 1 hour in donkey anti-rat/Alexa 488 (1:1,000, Life Technologies A21208) and counterstained with DAPI. For D2, tissues underwent antigen retrieval for 30 minutes in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 8.5) to unmask immunosignal and were incubated in primary antibody mouse anti-D2 (1:200, Santa Cruz sc-5303) for 48 hours at 4°C. Specificity of D2 antibody was validated by omission of primary antibody and by previous preabsorption and Western blot studies (25 (link), 26 (link)). Tissues were incubated for 1 hour in donkey anti-mouse/Alexa 488 (1:1,000, Life Technologies A21202).

Direct Fluorescent Labeling of D1R and D2R

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For experiments of D1R and D2R colocalization, we eliminated any use of secondary antibodies by directly conjugating the anti-D1R antibody (Sigma, D2944) to Alexa Fluor-488, and the anti-D2R antibody (Millipore, AB5084P) to Alexa Fluor-568, accordingly to the manufacturer's instructions (Invitrogen). Coronal sections (16 μm, Bregma:1.6 ± 0.6) from perfused rat brain were blocked (1% BSA, 0.1% Triton-X in 0.05M PBS) and then incubated for 96 h at 4°C with anti-D1-488 (1:200) and anti-D2-568 (1:200). After three washes, the last one containing DAPI, the slides were mounted (Dako), and the images were acquired in sequential mode in the same conditions described above.

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.
