Sciatic Nerve Injections in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sciatic nerve injection procedures were carried out as previously described (35, 36 (link)). Briefly, mice (P0-CRE c-Junfl/fl, P0-CRE mT/mG, and C57BL/6J mice) were anesthetized using isoflurane (1%–3%), and their sciatic nerve was exposed. Sterile PBS or Panc02 murine pancreatic cancer cells (50,000) were injected into the sciatic nerve under loop magnification using a 10 μL Hamilton syringe. For the assessment of SP600125 effect on PNI, Panc02 were injected into the nerves with SP600125 (Tocris, 3 mg/kg) or DMSO (control). After treatment with meloxicam for analgesia, the mouse was closed up with surgical sutures. Mice were followed for recovery every day for 72 hours and monitored for nerve function. For the survival analysis, animals were monitored until death or criteria mandating sacrifice were reached including complete limb paralysis.

Pharmacological assays with antagonists and inhibitors were performed to investigate possible mechanisms that are relevant to nociceptive sensitization in the mouse model of incisional pain. Treatments included: anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody Infliximab (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) [61 (link)], non-selective COX inhibitor indomethacin (10 mg/kg, orally) [62 (link)], NF-kB antagonist PDTC (25–100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) [63 (link)], p38 antagonist SB203580 (2.5–20 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) [64 (link)], ERK antagonist PD98059 (0.3–3 mg/kg, subcutaneously) [65 (link)], and JNK antagonist SP600125 (25–100 mg/kg, subcutaneously) [66 (link)]. Infliximab, indomethacin, and PDTC were purchased from Sigma (Saint Louis, MA, USA). SB203580, PD98059, and SP600125 were purchased from Tocris Bioscience (Bristol, UK).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rat IEC-6 cells (#CRL21592, purchased from Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China) were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium containing 5 % (v/v) fetal bovine serum (HyClone, Logan, UT, USA), 2 mg/l insulin, 50 IU/ml penicillin and 50 μg/ml streptomycin and incubated at 37 °C under 5 % (v/v) CO2. The medium was replaced 24 h following initial cell plating. Control group cells were kept strictly at 37 °C under 5 % CO2, while cells of the heat treatment groups were exposed to 42 °C under 5 % CO2 in the incubator (Thermo, Marietta, Ohio, USA) for 15 min, 30 min 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, and 8 h, respectively. To inhibit specific intracellular agents, cells were pretreated with 10 μM SP600125 (JNK inhibitor, #1496, Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) for 1 h prior to heat treatment. Changes in cell morphology following all treatments were observed using a phase-contrast inverted biological microscope (IX71/IX2, Olympus).

Three primed hESC lines were subjected to naive conversion on MEFs in low oxygen conditions in either: (i) naive human stem cell medium (NHSM) composed of basal hESC media supplemented with AlbumaxI, N2 supplement (Invitrogen), PD0325901 (1 μM, Cayman) and CHIR99021 (3 μM, Axon Medchem; known together as 2i), leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF, 1000U, Sigma), bFGF, (8 ng ml−1), SP600125 (10 μM, Tocris), SB203580 (10 μM, Tocris) and TGFβ (1 ng ml−1, Peprotech)10 (link); (ii) RT consisting of high glucose DMEM-F12 (Invitrogen) further supplemented with histone deacetylase inhibitors, sodium butyrate (0.1 mM) and SAHA (50 nM) for first three passages followed by 2i and bFGF (10 ng ml−1)11 (link) or (iii) our novel medium naive conversion medium (NCM) containing hESC media with added 2i, LIF, forskolin (10 μM, Sigma), ascorbic acid (50 ng ml−1, Sigma) and bFGF(12 ng ml−1)8 (link). Upon the appearance of domed-shaped colonies, the culture was passaged using 0.05% trypsin and once the culture was well established, cells were split at a ratio of 1:4 to 1:8 every 3 days. Single-cell clonogenicity was determined from the number of single-cells plated (upon dissociating primed and naive hESCs using trypsin without ROCKi) and the subsequent number of colonies formed. Doubling time was calculated using the formula:

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.
