During recordings, slices were superfused with room temperature oxygenated aCSF at a flow rate of ~2 ml min−1. Bath aCSF contained 100 μm picrotoxin (PTX, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) and 3 μm CGP 55845 hydrochloride (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) to block GABAA and GABAB receptors, respectively, and to isolate excitatory synaptic currents. Where indicated, aCSF also contained one of: 10 μm forskolin, 100 μm SQ-22536 (Tocris, Bristol, UK), 1 μm JZL 184 (Tocris, Bristol, UK), 30 μm Nimesulide (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) or 1 μm WIN 55,212–2 (Tocris, Bristol, UK).
Purkinje cells were visually identified and whole-cell, patch clamp recordings were performed with borosilicate pipettes (2–4 MΩ). Access resistance was monitored throughout the experiment. Electrophysiological currents were recorded with a Multiclamp 700B amplifier (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA),filtered at 5 kHz and digitized at 50 kHz. Data were collected using pClamp software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). EPSCs were evoked by stimulation of parallel fibres via a patch pipette filled with aCSF.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The raw material was obtained from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in the south of Brazil (31°30′01.2″ S 53°30′40.4″ W). The olive pomace (OP), which consists of the pulp and stone, was oven-dried at 105 °C for 24 h (Nova Ética, model 109-1, São Paulo, Brazil). After, it was milled (Marconi, Croton model, Piracicaba, Brazil) and sieved (Bertel, model 4830, Caieiras, Brazil) to obtain particles with a diameter less than 495 nm. The OP was activated chemically in the proportion of 1:0.8:0.2 of OP, zinc chloride, and calcium hydroxide and thermally activated by pyrolysis in a stainless-steel reactor at 550 °C for 30 min (heating rate of 3 °C·min−1) under N2 atmosphere. The treated material underwent acid leaching with HCl 6 mol·L−1 and was washed with water until neutral and constant pH. Finally, the material was dried at 105 °C for 24 h and stored in dry conditions until utilization. This material will be referred to hereafter as ACOP. The reagents used were analytical grade ethanol, NaOH (PA), HCl (37%), and Nimesulide (Supplementary Table S1) obtained from Sigma Aldrich (São Paulo, Brazil). Figure 1 presents the molecular structure of Nimesulide. The Nimesulide stock solution was prepared with 20% ethanol for better solubilization.

Evaluating Hepatocyte Exposure to Drugs

Troglitazone, nimesulide, caffeine, trovafloxacin, levofloxacin, LPS and methotrexate (all from Sigma, St Louis, Mo) were administered into the devices as 1% DMSO solutions in HMM at the final concentrations. To achieve testing of up to the recommended 100 × Cmax for in vitro liver systems, 1.0% DMSO final concentration was used to improve compound solubility. 1.0% DMSO is on the high end of published concentrations,7 (link),27 -29 (link) but the negative control, caffeine in 1.0% DMSO as well as DMSO alone, had no impact on the parameters measured in the devices. The flow was temporarily halted to allow imaging of each device using the GE IN Cell 6000 (GE LifeSciences, Piscataway NJ, USA) equipped with an environmental chamber to maintain 37° C and 5% CO2 (see below, HCA imaging and analysis). Flow was re-established in the devices after image collection.

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.
