Mouse models of cholera and intestinal fluid absorption assays

To investigate the in vivo effect of diclofenac on CT– and V. cholerae-induced intestinal fluid secretion, mice (30–35 g, ICR strain; The National Laboratory Animal Center, Salaya, Nakornpathom, Thailand) were fasted for 24 h before experiments. After anesthesia by an intraperitoneal injection of thiopenthal sodium (50 mg/kg), an abdominal incision was made and 3 closed ileal loops (2–3 cm in length) were made by ligations and then instilled with 100 µl of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or PBS containing CT (1 µg) or V. cholerae (classical O1 569B strain of V. cholerae at 107 CFU/loop). This strain of V. cholerae was used since it has been known to produce large amounts of CT and cause consistent intestinal fluid secretion in adult mouse closed-loop models [17]. Body temperature of mice was maintained at 36–37°C for the entire period of operation using heating pads. After abdominal closure by sutures, mice were intraperitoneally administered with DMSO (control) or diclofenac (30 mg/kg), and allowed to recover from anesthesia. Four hours (for experiments using CT) or 12 hours (for experiments using V. cholerae) later, mice were anesthetized again, abdomen was opened and ileal loops were removed for measurements of intestinal fluid secretion from loop weight/length ratios. Then, mice were euthanized with an injection of thiopenthal sodium (150 mg/kg). …

Reagents and Abs:

Ultra-pure LPS (Escherichia coli 0111:B4) was obtained from List Biologicals (Campbell, CA).

Animal experimentation:

…Mice were anesthetized using a mixture of isourane and oxygen bled in at 3.5 l/min.  LPS (List Biologicals)dissolved in DNase/RNase-free distilled water (1 mg/ml) was instilled i.p. at a concentration of 1.5 or 5 mg/kg. Animals were sacriced 18 or 48 h after LPS. …

Preparation of murine cells:

…PB cells were collected by cardiac puncture of anesthetized mice and monocytes were isolated as indicated for BM monocytes. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was collected by instilling 2.0mL of normal saline via a transtrancheal incision in anesthetized mice that had received an intratracheal injection of 5 g of lipopolysaccharide (from E. coli J5 (RC), List Biological Laboratories, Campbell, CA) or normal saline 24h earlier. Mouse peritoneal macrophages were harvested from the peritoneal cavity of wild-type, NCAM/ and NRP-2/ mice 3 days after the intraperitoneal injection of 3% thioglycollate and were placed in culture for 24 h…
