SLIGRL-amide, BAM8-22, SLIGR-amide and CGRP8-37 were supplied by Auspep (Melbourne, Australia). Stock solutions were prepared in sterile high-purity water with subsequent dilutions made in sterile saline. The concentration, purity, and composition of the peptides were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and quantitative amino acid analysis. Carbachol (carbamylcholine chloride), ATP, indomethacin, atropine, propranolol, terbutaline, theophylline and L-703,606 were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich (St. Louis, MO), whilst RP-67580 ((3aR,7aR)-Octahydro-2-[1-imino-2-(2-methoxy-phenyl)ethyl]-7,7-diphenyl-4H-isoindol), substance P, CGRP and L-733,060 were obtained from Tocris Bioscience (Ellisville, MO). Sodium pentobarbitone was supplied by Virbac Australia (Peakhurst, NSW), methoxyflurane by Medical Developments International Ltd (Springvale, Australia) and Schiff reagent by Australian Biostain (Vic, Australia).

Mice were treated with a single dose of MA (35 mg/kg, i.p.) or saline, and sacrificed 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 1 day, and 3 days after MA treatment to examine prodynorphin and substance P mRNA expressions, ROS formation, and HNE and protein carbonyl levels. High-performance liquid chromatography grade GRe with greater than 99% purity was provided by Dr. Sung Kwon Ko [35 , 36 (link)]. GRe (20 mg/kg, i.p., twice a day) was given 5 days before and 1 day after MA injection. On the day of MA injection, GRe was administered at 2 h before and 10 h after MA injection. The dose of GRe was determined based on previous study [30 (link)]. Nor-binaltorphimine (Nor-B; κ-opioid receptor antagonist; Tocris Bioscience, Ellisville, MO, USA) was dissolved in sterile saline. Nor-B (3 or 6 mg/kg, i.p.) was given 3 h and 1.5 h before MA injection. The dose of Nor-B was determined based on previous study [34 (link)]. L-733,060 (NK1 receptor antagonist; Tocris Bioscience) was dissolved in sterile saline. L-733,060 (5 or 10 mg/kg, i.p.) was given 1 h before MA injection. The dose of L-733,060 was determined based on previous study [37 (link)].

Exploring Nociceptive Modulation via NK1R

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The drugs used were (i) the NK1R agonist, Substance P (SP; 1 and 2 μg/μl; #S6883, Sigma, USA), (ii) the NK1R antagonist, L-733,060 (1 ×: 0.0176 µg/µl and  × 0.176 µg/µl; #1145, Tocris Bioscience, UK) and (iii) the cholinergic receptor agonist, carbamoylcholine chloride (carbachol; 0.156 μg/μl; #C4382, Sigma, USA).
The functional effects of different doses of SP and L-733,060 were explored in this study. Notably, 1 × concentration of L-733,060 in the present study is anti-nociceptive on microinjection into the rostral ventral medulla48 (link). While we initially used the lower dose of L-733,060, arising from the results, especially in behaving animals, we also examined the effect of the higher dose of L-733,060 to explore whether the different aspects of nociception are differentially sensitive to antagonism by the antagonist. The concentration of carbachol used in the experiments is based on published work65 (link).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse corneal epithelial cell line (TKE2) was presented from Dr. Tetsuya Kawakita of Keio University (Tokyo, Japan) and cultured in keratinocyte serum-free medium (KSFM, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) [39 (link)]. To induce apoptosis caused by hyperosmotic stress, TKE2 cells were incubated overnight in bovine pituitary extract (BPE)-free KSFM and subsequently exposed to hypertonic media (450, 550 and 650 mOsm) achieved by addition of glucose for 12–48 h. To detect the inhibiting effects on hyperosmotic stress-induced apoptosis, 0.1, 1 or 10 μM SP (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA) was pre-incubated 2 h before the treatment of high glucose. In some experiments, TKE2 cells were treated with the NK-1 receptor antagonist (1 μM L-733,060, Tocris, Minneapolis, MN), the AKT inhibitor V (40 μM Triciribine, Calbiochem, San Diego, CA), or glutathione depleting agent L-Buthionine-sulfoximine (100 μM, L-BSO, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) in the presence or absence of substance P.

Modulation of TGF-β1 and Neuropeptide Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TGF-β1 (R&D Systems, code: 240-B-002), reconstituted in 4mM hydrochloric acid and 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA, Sigma, code: A9647) was used at a concentration of 1 ng/ml based on modification from Le Roux et al’s study involving human keratocytes [11 (link)]. The TGFβRI/II kinase inhibitor LY2109761 (Santa Cruz, code: sc-396262) was used at a concentration of 2 μmol/l based on Xu et al’s study [18 (link)]. LY2109761, prepared in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), was used to block the effects of TGF-β1, and was added 20 min prior to TGF-β1 incubation. In addition, SP (Calbiochem, code: 05-23-0600) at 10−7 M and NK-1 R receptor blocker (L-733.060) (Tocris, code: 1145) at 10−6 M were used in concentrations as previously used in Backman et al’s study involving tenocytes [8 (link)]. SP at 10−7 M has also been used in studies involving human colonocytes [19 (link)] and human lung epithelial cell lines [10 (link)]. The concentrations of the mAChR blocker atropine at 10−5 M (Sigma, code: A0132) and ACh at 10−6 M (Sigma, code: A661) were based on our previous study involving human tenocytes [7 (link)].

Mice were immunized intradermally (i.d) in the right side of the cheek (behavioral experiments), base of tail (Kaede experiments), or in footpads. As indicated, mice were immunized with 50 µg of papain, heat-inactivated papain, ovalbumin, histamine, or 40 µg of Capsaicin (all from Sigma-Aldrich); or 100 µg of Alternaria alternata (Greer). Where indicated, mice were injected with 10 µg LPS (InvivoGen), 5 µg CGRP (Sigma-Aldrich), 100 nmoles Substance P (Tocris) or 1% QX314 (Tocris). All dilutions were diluted in sterile 1x phosphate buffered saline, or PBS (Corning), except for Capsaicin which was diluted in PBS and 6.4% DMSO. Where indicated, immunizations were performed with either 500 µmol of QWF or L733060 (both from Tocris) diluted in a 5% DMSO PBS solution.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For all experiments, RAW264.7 and BMM were stimulated with 10−8 and 10−10 M of recombinant SP (#S6883, Sigma-Aldrich, Schnelldorf, Germany) or mouse/rat αCGRP (#4025897, Bachem, Bubendorf, Switzerland). BMM experiments also included a neuropeptide combination with 10−7 M of a respective receptor antagonist: for SP the NK1R antagonist L733,060 (#1145, Tocris, Biotechne, Minneapolis, USA) and for αCGRP the antagonist CGRP8–37 (#4034544, Bachem, Bubendorf, CH). For RNA extraction, RAW cells were stimulated during loading. For cell assays such as adhesion, proliferation, apoptosis and ROS activity, RAW cells were either stimulated during loading (pre), during assay procedure (post) or constantly throughout the experiment (constant). BMM experiments were only stimulated during the assay procedure.

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.
