Evaluating Tesaglitazar Effects on Neuropathic Pain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess the effects of Tesaglitazar on the development of STZ-induced changes in mechanical hind paw withdrawal thresholds. Tesaglitazar (2, 10, or 20μg/kg, Tocris Bioscience, UK) or vehicle (3% tween 20 in saline) was injected i.p. at week 4 after STZ injection, when mechanical allodynia was fully developed. The nociceptive test was performed at 6 hours after Tesaglitazar administration. On the other hand, to evaluate the effects of Tesaglitazar on the development of chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain, Tesaglitazar (20μg/kg) or vehicle (3% tween 20 in saline) was injected i.p. at the end of the cisplatin treatment cycles. In all behavioral experiments, the observer was blinded to the treatments.

Drug or vehicle was administered prior to the drinking tests as described below. Drugs were administered either intraperitoneally (i.p.; 10mL/kg), subcutaneously (s.c.; 2mL/kg), or per os (p.o.; 5mL/kg; via FTP-20-30 20 gauge, 30 mm length plastic feeding tubes from Instech Laboratories, Inc., Plymouth Meeting, PA, USA). Table S1 specifies doses and routes of administration for each experiment.
Grain ethanol (200 proof, Decon Laboratories, Inc.) was used in all experiments. Drugs administered during ethanol drinking experiments were gabapentin (Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI, USA), tesaglitazar (Tocris, Minneapolis, MN, USA), fenofibrate (Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI, USA), caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE; Tocris, Minneapolis, MN, USA), ibrutinib (Toronto Research Chemicals, Inc., Toronto, ON, Canda) and rolipram (Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI, USA). The vehicle used for gabapentin and CAPE was saline (Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Deerfield, IL, USA), while for tesaglitazar, fenofibrate, and rolipram, the vehicle was saline and 1.5-2% Tween-80 (Sigma-Aldrich, Milwaukee, WI, USA). The vehicle for ibrutinib was saline, 1.75% Tween-80, and 5% DMSO in week 1, and 100% DMSO in week 2. Table S1 provides a list of drugs, doses, and mechanisms of action for each experiment.

Sera from Mouse, Hamster, Rabbit, Rat, Guinea pig, and Goat were obtained from Equitech-Bio, Inc., and sera was obtained while animals were maintained on a standard diet. C24:4 ((9Z, 12Z, 15Z, 18Z, 21Z)-tetracosa-9,12,15,18,21-tetraenoic acid) and C24:5 ((9Z, 12Z, 15Z, 18Z, 21Z)-tetracosa-9,12,15,18,21-pentaenoic acid) were synthesized from Avanti Polar Lipids. Inc. The DR1-Luc reporter and pBABE-RXRA plasmids were gifts from Vivek Arora, Washington University.

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.
