Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y cells were purchased from ATCC. These cells were cultured under the following media condition: High glucose Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM; HyClone, S, Logan, UT, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) and penicillin–streptomycin (10,000 U/mL; Grand Island, NY, Gibco). The cells were incubated in a condition of 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere at 37 °C. Cell subcultures were performed every 3–4 days using trypsin–EDTA (Sigma, Saint Louis, MO, USA) for cell detachment. For the experiments, 2 × 104 cells were seeded in a 96-well plate in 100 μL of culture medium and pre-incubated overnight to allow cell attachment. The next day, suffruticosol A (1, 5, or 20 μM) and scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrate (0 or 2 mM; Sigma, Saint Louis, MO, USA) was added to a final volume of 200 μL medium, followed by further incubation of 24 h.

Startle Response and Prepulse Inhibition Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PPI was measured using automated startle chambers (San Diego Instruments, San Diego, CA, USA), as described previously [37 (link)]. In brief, rats were placed in a transparent Plexiglas cylinder that sat within a sound-attenuating cabinet. Audiogenic stimuli were delivered with a speaker, and whole-body startle responses were measured using the automated SR-Lab software (San Diego Instruments). The 30-minute session consisted of 80 trials presented at variable intervals (8–27 s), 8 no tone (i.e., only background, 70 dB), 32 pulse-alone (4 blocks of 8 × 115 dB) trials, and 40 prepulse trials (8 of each: 2, 4, 8, 12, or 16 dB above background followed 100 ms later by the 115 dB pulse). Startle data were measured using all four blocks of pulse-alone trials. The percentage of PPI was calculated as the difference in amplitude between the startle response to the pulse-alone trials and the prepulse-pulse trials, divided by the response to the pulse-alone trial × 100%.
Saline or 0.3 mg/kg scopolamine (Scopolamine hydrobromide trihydrate; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was administered subcutaneously 30 min prior to PPI testing. Scopolamine was dissolved in saline to a dose based on previous literature [25 (link),38 (link)] and administered in a volume of 1 ml/kg. Using a randomized, crossover protocol, rats received both treatments with 3–4 days allowed between each experiment.

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.
