Evaluating Estrogenic EDC Mixtures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A set of 45 estrogenic EDC reference chemicals (Table S1) with well documented in vivo activity were provided in DMSO via agreement with Dr. Keith Houck (US EPA, Research Triangle Park, NC).
Mixtures and individual chemicals used in the complex mixture analysis were prepared as previously described (Chen et al., 2020 (link); Hsieh et al., 2021 (link)). Mixtures (Table S2) were designed using a set of criteria that included 1) diverse set of chemicals belonging to multiple classes of environmental toxicants and 2) concentrations based on known in vitro data found in the ToxCast database, in vivo data used to determine regulatory oral non-cancerous reference doses (RfDs), or general population exposure levels derived from the ExpoCast database. Individual chemicals for comparison to active mixtures were from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR 2020) priority list of hazardous substances. These chemicals are frequency detected at U.S. National Priority List sites (i.e., Superfund sites). Chemicals were from Sigma-Aldrich, except heptachlor, heptachlor epoxide, 2,4,5-trichlorophenol, parathion, benzidine and o,p′-DDT, which were from ChemService and provided in DMSO by the lab of Dr. Ivan Rusyn (Texas A&M, College Station, TX) as part of the Superfund Research Program. All mixtures and individual chemicals were then tested using six 10-fold serial dilutions.

Recombinant human acetylcholinesterase, superoxide dismutase, horseradish peroxidase, NADPH, menadione, acetylthiocholine chloride, 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid), 7-ethoxyresorufin, tetraisopropyl pyrophosphoramide, and coumarin were purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). Parathion, paraoxon, and diethylthiophosphate were from Chem Service Inc. (West Chester, PA). Amplex Red reagent was from Molecular Probes (Eugene, OR). Recombinant human CYPs (CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, CYP2A6, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and CYP 3A7), and pooled human liver microsomes were purchased from BD Gentest (Woburn, MA). Recombinant human CPR, Vivid P450 substrates, 7-ethoxy-methyloxy-3-cyanocoumarin (EOMCC) and 7-benzyloxy-methyloxy-3-cyanocoumarin (BOMCC), 7-methoxy-4-trifluoromethyl coumarin and dibenzylfluorescein were from Life Technologies (Grand Island, NY). Glucose-6-phosphate and Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were from Roche Diagnostic (Indianapolis, IN).

Rat Neural Stem Cell Assay for Neurotoxicity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary rat embryonic neural stem cells, N2 supplement and human fibroblast growth factor were purchased from MTI-GlobalStem (Gaithersburg, MD). DMEM/F-12, GlutaMAX™, Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline, Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline with Ca2+ and Mg2+, BlockAid™ blocking solution, rat anti-GFAP, donkey anti-rabbit IgG Alexa Fluor 647, goat anti-rat IgG Alexa Fluor 555, DAPI nucleic acid stain and ProLong Diamond Antifade mountant were acquired from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA). Rabbit anti-MAP2 was purchased from EMD Millipore Headquarters (Billerica, MA). Chlorpyrifos, parathion, diazinon, dieldrin and fipronil were obtained from Chem Service Inc. (West Chester, PA).
TSE was prepared by Arista Laboratories (Richmond, VA); Kentucky Reference cigarettes (KY3R4F) were smoked on a Rotary Smoke Machine under ISO conditions (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland). The smoke condensate was collected on 92 mm filter pads, which were then extracted by shaking for 20 min with DMSO, to obtain a solution of approximately 20 mg of condensate per ml. Condensate aliquots were stored in amber vials at −80°C until used. Two cigarettes were smoked to produce each ml of extract and the final product contained 0.8 mg/ml (5 mM) nicotine.
All other chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO).

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.
