A 4T1 tumor model was built by injecting 100 μL of 4T1 cell suspension (1 × 106 cells) into the right armpit of female Balb/c mice. To examine the behavior of the RhB-loaded SA-Gd2O3@MSN hybrid systems in acidic pH environments, the mice were randomly assigned to three groups and treated with free RhB, RhB-loaded MSNs (NH2-Gd2O3@MSN-RhB), and SA-Gd2O3@MSN-RhB at a dose of 200 mg/kg RhB via tail vein injection. The fluorescence images (FI) were captured at 1, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after injection using the IVIS Lumina Ⅲ imaging system (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA). The 4T1 tumor-bearing mice were injected with 100 μL of SA-Gd2O3@MSN NPs (1 mg of Gd3+ per kg) via the tail vein for in vivo MR imaging. Subsequently, the MR images were captured at 0, 1, and 24 h after injection using a 3.0T clinical MRI scanner (Philips).

In vivo Bioluminescence Tumor Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
On days one, three and eight, following the inoculation of bioluminescent tumor cells, the animals underwent in vivo imaging using the IVIS Lumina III imaging system (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA). The transfected 4T1 tumor cells express firefly luciferase which produces bioluminescence following the addition of its substrate (luciferin). In consideration of the imaging, a 15 mg/ml solution of D−luciferin sodium salt (Gold Biotechnology, St. Louis, MO, USA) in DPBS was administered i.p. in a 150 mg/kg dose. Animals were anesthetized using ketamine-xylazine three minutes following the administration of D-luciferin, and were imaged ten minutes postinjection using the following settings: auto acquisition, F/stop = 1 and Binning = 4. Data were analyzed using the Living Image software (PerkinElmer). Regions of interest (ROI) were drawn around the luminescent tumor signal automatically using identical signal thresholds. Total radiance, a calibrated unit of the luminescence (total photon flux per second), was calculated in each ROI and used for further statistical analysis.

Bioluminescent Imaging of Postsurgical Infection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Postsurgical infection was confirmed by direct BLI of bacteria using the IVIS Lumina III imaging system (PerkinElmer, Hopkinton, MA). Imaging (large binning and a 5 min exposure) was performed immediately on anesthetized mice (2% isoflurane) before surgery and then on postoperative days 3, 7, 14, and 21. Signal was quantified using the Living Image software within a region of interest (ROI) of 0.5 × 0.75 cm2 centered over the surgical knee and measured as maximum radiance (photons/second/cm2/steradian). The limit of detection was 2.5 × 103 photons/s/cm2/sr. After an infection was established, the right hind limb was cleared of hair, and a bioluminescent image was acquired (IVIS Spectrum; Perkin Elmer). An elliptical ROI of 0.74 × 0.98 cm was used to measure persistent infection.

Imaging Inflammatory Reactions in Joints

Inflammatory reaction of the joints was examined by in vivo bioluminescence imaging. We measured neutrophil myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity with luminol (5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1,4-phthalazine-dione) and macrophage NADPH oxidase (Phox) activity with lucigenin (bis-N-methylacridinium nitrate) in order to detect reactive oxygen species [48 (link)]. Imaging of the animals was performed 10 min after the i.p. injection of luminol sodium salt (150 mg/kg; Gold Biotechnology, Olivette, MO, USA) dissolved in phosphate buffered saline (PBS; 30 mg/mL) and lucigenin (25 mg/kg; Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) dissolved in saline (2.5 mg/mL) using the IVIS Lumina III imaging system (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA). Acquisition times were 120 s for luminol-derived bioluminescence and 180 s for lucigenin-derived bioluminescence (Binning = 8, F/Stop = 1). Identical regions of interest (ROIs) were applied on the hind paws and ankle joints, and luminescence was expressed as the total radiance (total photon flux/s) within the ROIs [49 (link)]. Animal numbers: Acute Control (n = 24); Acute CFA (n = 21); Chronic Control (n = 9–10); Chronic CFA (n = 10).

Mice (6‐8 weeks old NOD SCID and NSG) were s.c. injected with 5 × 106 Hep3B cells in the right flank. Based on similar mean tumor bioluminescence intensities or tumor volumes, mice were divided into groups and received i.p. injection of 10 mg/kg anti‐FGF19 or control Ab. Tumor bioluminescence intensities were measured using an IVIS Lumina III Imaging System (PerkinElmer). Tumor volume was measured with an electronic caliper and calculated using the formula 3.14 × L × W2/6, where L and W are the largest and smallest measured diameters, respectively. All animal experiments were carried out following the National Guidelines for Housing and Care of Laboratory Animals in China and under the approved Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) protocols at the National Institute of Biological Sciences. The study to evaluate antitumor efficacy of HS29 in PDXs in BALB/c nude mice was undertaken under the approved IACUC protocols at Crown Bioscience.
Safety assessment of G1A8 was carried out at JOINN Laboratories following approved IACUC protocols. Healthy cynomolgus monkeys (3‐4 years old) weighing approximately 3 kg were i.v. injected with G1A8. Blood samples were collected at various time points for pharmacokinetic analysis of G1A8. Liver, ileum, and kidney samples were collected at the end of the study for mRNA expression analysis of genes related to bile acid metabolism.

Evaluating DEX Effects on TAMs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate the effect of DEX (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) on both TAMs migration as well as on TAMs modulation of tumor growth, CT26/RM tumor-bearing mice were divided into three groups: CT26/RM, CT26/RM+Raw/effluc, and CT26/RM+Raw/effluc+DEX. Mice received 10 mg/kg DEX immediately via intraperitoneal injection following the transfer of Raw/effluc cells. Daily treatment with DEX was sustained for 3 days. In vivo BLI and FLI were performed at the indicated times.
For in vivo BLI, mice received either d-luciferin (for effluc) or coelenterazine h (for Rluc) via either intraperitoneal or intravenous injection. BLI was performed at 10 minutes (effluc) or immediately (Rluc) after the injection of the respective substrate using the IVIS Lumina III imaging system (PerkinElmer). Grayscale photographic images and bioluminescent color images were superimposed using LIVINGIMAGE (version 2.12, PerkinElmer) and IGOR Image Analysis FX software (WaveMetrics, Lake Oswego, OR). BLI signals are expressed in units of photons per cm2 per second per steradian (P/cm2/s/sr). All mice were anesthetized using 1% to 2% isoflurane gas during imaging.

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.
