Dopamine → 3H-dopamine

Temperatur

37 °C

Uptake of tritiated dopamine (3H-DA) is performed in cultures at day 6 or day 7 as described previously (Friedman and Mytilineou (1987) Neurosci. Lett. 79:65-72) with minor modifications, and all the solutions are maintained at 37° C. Briefly, the culture medium is removed, rinsed twice with 0.25 ml of the uptake buffer which consists of Krebs-Ringer's phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, containing 5.6 mM glucose, 1.3 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM ascorbic acid and 0.5 mM pargyline, an inhibitor of monoamine oxidase. The cultures are incubated with 0.25 ml of 50 nM 3H-DA (New England Nuclear, Boston, Mass. sp. act 36-37 Ci/mmol) for 15 minutes at 37° C. 3H-DA uptake is stopped by removing the incubation mixture and cells are then washed twice with 0.5 ml of the uptake buffer. In order to release 3H-DA from the cells, the cultures are incubated with 0.5 ml of 95% ethanol for 30 min at 37° C., and then added to 10 ml of EcoLite (ICN, Irvine, Calif.) and counted on a scintillation counter. Blank values are obtained by adding to the uptake buffer 0.5 mM GBR-12909 (RBI), a specific inhibitor of the high-affinity uptake pump of the dopamine neurons (Heikkila et al. 1984 Euro J. Pharmacol. 103:241-48).
