Artificial Cerebrospinal Fluid Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) contained in mM: 129 NaCl; 3 KCl; 1.6 CaCl2; 1.8 MgSO4; 1.25 NaH2PO4; 21 NaHCO3; 10 glucose. To induce epilepsy, MgSO4 was omitted, and 2 mM KCl was added (low-[Mg2+] ACSF). In the in vitro experiments, PUT (1 mM) was diluted in low-[Mg2+] ACSF. The pH value of 7.4 was not affected by the applied concentration. All solutions were continuously oxygenated (95% O2, 5% CO2). In the in vivo experiments on WAG/Rij rats, PUT (intraperitoneal/i.p. 25 mg/kg) and GABA (i.p. 300 mg/kg) were dissolved in saline. It was demonstrated previously that 1–30% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution did not change the absence epileptic activity in WAG/Rij rats [37 (link)]; thus, SNAP-5114 (i.p. 20 mg/kg; TOCRIS, Bristol, UK) was dissolved in 10% DMSO solution. Unless otherwise stated, all drugs were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Budapest, Hungary, and Saint Louis, MO, USA.

Buffers contained in mM ACSF: 129 NaCl, 5 KCl, 1.6 CaCl2, 1.8 MgSO4, 1.25 NaH2PO4, 21 NaHCO3, 10 glucose (pH 7.4); nominally Mg2+-free ACSF was prepared as control ACSF with no added Mg2+ (we estimated the Mg2+ concentration of this buffer to be approximately 1 μM). Pharmacological assessment was done by the following compounds: MnCl2 (20 μM), AgNO3 (3.6 μM), CuCl2 (2 μM) – all purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Schnelldorf, Germany, SNAP-5114 (100 μM, Tocris, Bristol, UK).

Induction of Epilepsy in Rat Models

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) contained in mM: 129 NaCl; 3 KCl; 1.6 CaCl2; 1.8 MgSO4; 1.25 NaH2PO4; 21 NaHCO3; 10 glucose. To induce epilepsy, MgSO4 was eliminated and 2 mM KCl was added (low-[Mg2+] ACSF). In the in vitro experiments, SPM (SPM 200 μM) and FA sodium salt (1 mM) were diluted in ACSF or low-[Mg2+] ACSF. The pH value of 7.4 was not affected by the applied concentrations. All solutions were continuously oxygenated (95% O2, 5% CO2). In the in vivo experiments on WAG/Rij rats, levetiracetam (intraperitoneal/i.p. 200 mg/kg; TCI, Tokyo, Japan), DFMO (i.p. 150 mg/kg; TCI, Tokyo, Japan), 4-MCHA (i.p. 25 mg/kg), and APCHA (i.p. 25 mg/kg; TCI, Tokyo, Japan) were dissolved in saline. It was demonstrated previously that 1–30% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution did not change absence epileptic activity in WAG/Rij rats (Kovács et al., 2011 (link)), thus, SNAP-5114 (i.p. 20 mg/kg; TOCRIS, Bristol, United Kingdom) was dissolved in 10% DMSO solution. Unless otherwise stated, all drugs were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Budapest, Hungary, and Saint Louis, MO, United States.

Optogenetic Manipulation of Striatal iMSN

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used optical stimulation to activate iMSNs selectively. Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) and its reporter gene enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (EYFP) were inserted in a double-floxed inverted open reading frame viral vector and stereotaxically injected into the striatum of 1 month-old WT and R6/2 mice crossed with A2A-Cre mice (1.0 mm anterior and 2.0 mm lateral to Bregma, at a depth of 3.1 mm from the dura). After Cre recombination, ChR2-EYFP was selectively expressed in A2A-Cre neurons. To examine evoked GABA responses in GPe neurons the following protocol was used: a slow ramp voltage command (3 s duration) from a holding voltage of −70 mV to +10 mV was first applied. Then the cell was held at the new voltage for 2 s, after which the optical stimulation (470 nm, 1 mW, 0.5 ms) was delivered. After 2 additional s at +10 mV the membrane potential was brought back to the original holding potential. This protocol was repeated 3 times (interval between sweeps was 30 s) and the responses to light stimulation were averaged. SNAP5114 (GAT-3 antagonist, 20 μM), NO711 (GAT-1 antagonist, 10μM), or CGP 54626 (GABAB receptor antagonist, 1μM) (all from Tocris, Minneapolis, MN) were bath applied (10-20 min) to examine alterations in decay time (90%-10%) of the evoked GABA response measured with Clampfit v10.7 (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA; RRID:SCR_011323).

Mice were infused with 20 mM 1-[2-[tris(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxy]ethyl]-(S)-3-piperidinecarboxylic acid (SNAP5114, dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide; Tocris) bilaterally in the GPe (AP −0.46 mm, ML ±2.0 mm, DV −3.2 mm from dura) using a cannula injection system (C313DC, C313G, and C313I; P1 Technologies) 20 min before the extinction test (28 (link)).

Inducing Epilepsy in ACSF

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Oxygenated (95% O2, 5% CO2) artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) contained in mM: 129 NaCl; 1.23 NaH2PO4; 10 glucose; 1.6 CaCl2.H2O; 3 KCl; 21 NaHCO3; 1.8 mM MgSO4. To induce epilepsy MgSO4 was eliminated and 2 mM KCl was added (low-[Mg2+] ACSF). Stock solutions of cell permeant Fluo-4 AM (2.5 mM, Life Technologies) and Oregon Green BAPTA-1 AM (OGB-1, 800 μM, Life Technologies) were diluted in 20% Pluronic F-127 (Life Technologies). Final DMSO concentration was 0.16% (Fluo-4) or 0.2% (OGB-1), which did not significantly altered epileptiform activity. Astrocytic γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transporter inhibitor SNAP-5114 (Tocris) stock solution (100 mM) was diluted in DMSO (final DMSO concentration in these experiments: 0.1%). Stock solution (50 mM, Sigma) of carbenoxolone hemisuccinate (CBX) was diluted in distilled water. Stock solution of astroglia-specific marker dye sulforhodamine101 (SR101, 10 mM, Invitrogen) was diluted in distilled water.

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.
