Ringel AE, Drijvers JM, Baker GJ, Catozzi A, García-Cañaveras JC, Gassaway BM, Miller BC, Juneja VR, Nguyen TH, Joshi S, Yao CH, Yoon H, Sage PT, LaFleur MW, Trombley JD, Jacobson CA, Maliga Z, Gygi SP, Sorger PK, Rabinowitz JD, Sharpe AH, Haigis MC (2020) Obesity shapes metabolism in the tumor microenvironment to suppress anti-tumor immunity. Cell 183(7):1848-1866.e26. doi: 10.1016/j.cell.2020.11.009 PMID: 33301708
Objective: To investigate how obesity shifts the metabolic landscape of the tumor microenvironment (TME) to inhibit T cell function and promote tumor growth.
Summary: High-fat diet – induced obesity impairs CD8+ T cell function in the murine TME, accelerating tumor growth.
Usage: Immunoprecipitation

Measuring attention in rats with a visual signal detection task: Signal intensity vs. signal duration
Holloway Z, Koburov R, Hawkey A, Levin ED (2020) Measuring attention in rats with a visual signal detection task: Signal intensity vs. signal duration. Pharmacol Biochem Behav 199:173069. doi: 10.1016/j.pbb.2020.173069
Summary: Drug-induced effects have been used to demonstrate the construct validity of operant attention tasks, as well as to assess the pharmacological systems that underlie cognitive processes, such as attention, short-term memory and reaction time, either by interrupting or enhancing performance.

Extracellular levels of the sleep homeostasis mediator, adenosine, are regulated by glutamatergic neurons during wakefulness and sleep
Sun MJ, Tang Y (2020) Extracellular levels of the sleep homeostasis mediator, adenosine, are regulated by glutamatergic neurons during wakefulness and sleep. Purinergic Signal 16(4):475-476. doi: 10.1007/s11302-020-09758-3
Summary: Blanco-Centurion et al. investigated the role of cholinergic neurons in the BF by administering 192–IgG–SAP to lesion them, but surprisingly the results indicated that adenosine from cholinergic neurons in BF are not essential to sleep induction.

Differential mechanisms are required for phrenic long-term facilitation over the course of motor neuron loss following CTB-SAP intrapleural injections.
Borkowski LF, Nichols NL (2020) Differential mechanisms are required for phrenic long-term facilitation over the course of motor neuron loss following CTB-SAP intrapleural injections. Exp Neurol 334:113460. doi: 10.1016/j.expneurol.2020.113460
Objective: To understand the mechanism responsible for this difference in magnitude of phrenic long-term facilitation (pLTF)
Summary: pLTF in 7d CTB-SAP treated rats is elicited primarily through TrkB and PI3K/Akt-dependent mechanisms, whereas BDNF and MEK/ERK-dependent mechanisms induce pLTF in 28d CTB-SAP treated rats.
Usage: Rats received bilateral intrapleural injections of CTB-SAP; 25 μg dissolved in PBS.

Depletion of C1 neurons attenuates the salt-induced hypertension in unanesthetized rats.
Ribeiro N, Martins Sá RW, Antunes VR (2020) Depletion of C1 neurons attenuates the salt-induced hypertension in unanesthetized rats. Brain Res 1748:147107. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2020.147107
Objective: To determine if the ablation of C1 neurons mitigates high blood pressure induced by high-salt intake.
Summary: Data show that hypertension induced by high-salt intake is dependent on C1 neurons.
Usage: Bilateral injections of 2.4 ng/100 nl of Anti-DBH-SAP. The total number of TH+ neurons in the AS region was reduced by 37 ± 13% in the anti-DBH-SAP group when compared to control.

Reversal of object recognition memory deficit in perirhinal cortex-lesioned rats and primates and in rodent models of aging and alzheimer’s diseases.
Masmudi-Martín M, Navarro-Lobato I, López-Aranda MF, Browning PGF, Simón A-M, López-Téllez JF, Jiménez-Recuerda I, Martîn-Montañez E, Pérez-Mediavilla A, Frechilla D, Baxter MG, Khan ZU (2020) Reversal of object recognition memory deficit in perirhinal cortex-lesioned rats and primates and in rodent models of aging and alzheimer’s diseases. Neuroscience 448:287-298. doi: 10.1016/j.neuroscience.2020.08.039
Objective: To determine if Object Recognition Memory (ORM) can be restored.
Summary: Memory-deficient rats were generated by induction of lesions to the perirhinal cortex (PRh) through an injection of OX7-SAP. Expression of regulator of G-protein signaling 14 of 414 amino acids (RGS14414) restored ORM in memory-deficient PRh-lesioned rats and nonhuman primates. This treatment was sufficient for full recovery of ORM in rodent models of aging and Alzheimer’s disease.
Usage: Rats were injected with OX7-SAP (0.9 mg in 1ml) in the PRh of the brain.

Spinal microglia-neuron interactions in chronic pain.
Ho IHT, Chan MTV, Wu WKK, Liu X (2020) Spinal microglia-neuron interactions in chronic pain. J Leukoc Biol 108:1575-1592. doi: 10.1002/JLB.3MR0520-695R
Summary: Spinal microglial activation is initiated shortly and persisted for more than 3 mo after partial sciatic nerve ligation. Intrathecal injection of Mac1-SAP, a saporin-conjugated anti-CD11b antibody to deplete microglia, abolished cold and mechanical allodynia for 2–12 wk after injury,92 supporting the role of activated microglia for chronic pain maintenance.
