ln Vitro
In a concentration-dependent manner, 8-Bromo-cGMP sodium (1-100 μM; 8 hours) can strengthen LLC-PK1 cells' resistance to CsA toxicity [3]. HO-1 protein synthesis is induced by 8-Bromo-cGMP sodium (1-100 μM; 16 hours) in a concentration-dependent manner [3].
Using cultured proximal renal tubular epithelial cells (LLC-PK1), the present study investigates the effect of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on cytotoxicity induced by cyclosporin A (CsA). Preincubation with ANP (1-100 nM) protected LLC-PK1 cells from CsA-induced toxicity in a concentration-dependent manner. A cytoprotective effect comparable to ANP was observed when preincubating the cells with 8-bromo cGMP (1-100 microM) or the antioxidant heme oxygenase (HO) metabolite bilirubin (0.1-10 microM). ANP or cGMP produced increases in HO-1 protein levels at concentrations that were also effective in cellular protection. Moreover, incubation with ANP or 8-Bromo-cGMP led to increased HO activity, i.e., formation of bilirubin in the cell lysate (up to 3-fold over basal). Tin protoporphyrin-IX (SnPP; 19 microM), an inhibitor of HO activity, completely abolished ANP-induced cytoprotection. Our results demonstrate that HO-1 is a cellular target of ANP and cGMP in renal cells. HO-1 induction and ensuing formation of antioxidant metabolites may be a novel pathway by which ANP protects from CsA-dependent nephrotoxicity and preserves renal function. [3]
Protective effects of ANP and cGMP [3]
Incubation with CsA (48 h) resulted in a marked cytotoxicity and reduction of cell viability. Preincubation with ANP at 1–100 nM (8 h) diminished CsA toxicity in a concentration-dependent fashion and increased the surviving cell fraction by up to 70% (Fig. 1). Cytoprotection by ANP was less pronounced after shorter preincubation times and not detectable when CsA and ANP were added simultaneously to the cells (not shown). A similar cytoprotective effect was observed with the membrane permeable cGMP analog 8-Bromo-cGMP (1–100 μM). 8-Bromo cGMP at 1–100 μM increased resistance of LLC-PK1 cells to CsA toxicity concentration-dependently and augmented cell viability by up to 65% (Fig. 2). ANP and 8-bromo cGMP alone had no significant effect on cell viability under these conditions (not shown).
ANP and cGMP increase HO activity and expression [3]
Cells were exposed to ANP or 8-Bromo-cGMP for 16 h. HO activity was assessed in the cell lysate by measuring formation of the HO metabolite bilirubin. ANP (0.1–1 μM) produced a concentration-dependent increase in HO activity up to 2.9-fold over basal levels (Fig. 5). Similar results were obtained when cells were incubated with 8-Bromo-cGMP (0.1–100 μM). A concentration-dependent stimulation of HO activity with a maximal 2.4-fold increase was detected in the presence of 8-bromo cGMP (Fig. 6). Stimulations of HO activity corresponded to increases in HO-1 protein synthesis Fig. 7, Fig. 8. ANP (1–100 nM) and 8-Bromo-cGMP (1–100 μM) induced the synthesis of HO-1 protein in a concentration-dependent fashion and produced maximal 3.1-fold and 3.7-fold elevations of basal HO-1 protein expression, respectively Fig. 7, Fig. 8.
ln Vivo
In mice treated with vincristine up to the first hour of vehicle treatment, tail flick latency was significantly and dose-dependently increased by sodium 8-Bromo-cGMP (0.3, 1, 3.0 nmol; intrathecally; 10 min before testing). levels seen in male ICR mice weighing 20 g at 4 weeks of age. Vincristine can induce excruciating neuropathy in mice when administered at a dose of 0.05 mg/kg one day after tail flick latency and then 0.125 mg/kg twice a week for six weeks [4]. On a C57BL/6 background (19–35 g), 8-Bromo-cGMP sodium (10 mg/kg; i.v.; single dose) causes vasodilatory responses in WT littermates and eNOS-Tg mice [5].
The rat formalin assay was used to assess effects of the cyclic guanosine mono-phosphate (cGMP) analog, 8-Bromo-cGMP on nociception and cGMP dependent protein kinase I (protein kinase G; PKG-I) expression in lumbar spinal cord. Intrathecal (i.t.) delivery of low doses of 8-bromo-cGMP (0.1–0.25 μmol) reduced nociceptive behavior and formalin-induced upregulation of PKG-I in the spinal cord. Medium doses (0.5–1 μmol i.t.) had no effect and high doses (2.5 μmol i.t.) caused hyperalgesia associated with a further increase of PKG-I expression and a PKG-I clip. To explain these dose-dependent contrary effects we assessed the potential involvement of various cGMP targets: protein kinase G, cyclic nucleotide gated cation channels (CNGs), phosphodiesterases (PDE2 and PDE3) and AMPA-receptors. The PKG inhibitor, Rp-8-bromo-cGMPS did not antagonize the antinociceptive effects of 8-Bromo-cGMP but caused antinociception itself. Inhibitors of CNGs, PDE2 and PDE3 had no effect on formalin evoked nociceptive behavior. S-AMPA however, antagonized the antinociceptive effects of 8-Bromo-cGMP. Since AMPA receptor currents were found to be reduced by 8-bromo-cGMP in vitro a direct or indirect reduction of AMPA receptor currents might possibly contribute to the antinociceptive effects of 8-bomo-cGMP. On the other hand, 8-bromo-cGMP evoked antinociception appears to be largely independent of PKG-I, CNGs, PDE2 and PDE3. The antinociceptive effects of the PKG inhibitor suggest that a strong PKG activation may be responsible for ‘high dose’ 8-Bromo-cGMP evoked hyperalgesia. [2]
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in regulating vascular tone. Mice overexpressing endothelial NO synthase [eNOS-transgenic (Tg)] have a 20% lower systemic vascular resistance (SVR) than wild-type (WT) mice. However, because eNOS enzyme activity is 10 times higher in tissue homogenates from eNOS-Tg mice, this in vivo effect is relatively small. We hypothesized that the effect of eNOS overexpression is attenuated by alterations in NO signaling and/or altered contribution of other vasoregulatory pathways. In isoflurane-anesthetized open-chest mice, eNOS inhibition produced a significantly greater increase in SVR in eNOS-Tg mice compared with WT mice, consistent with increased NO synthesis. Vasodilation to sodium nitroprusside (SNP) was reduced, whereas the vasodilator responses to phosphodiesterase-5 blockade and 8-Bromo-cGMP (8-Br-cGMP) were maintained in eNOS-Tg compared with WT mice, indicating blunted responsiveness of guanylyl cyclase to NO, which was supported by reduced guanylyl cyclase activity. There was no evidence of eNOS uncoupling, because scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced even less vasodilation in eNOS-Tg mice, whereas after eNOS inhibition the vasodilator response to ROS scavenging was similar in WT and eNOS-Tg mice. Interestingly, inhibition of other modulators of vascular tone [including cyclooxygenase, cytochrome P-450 2C9, endothelin, adenosine, and Ca-activated K(+) channels] did not significantly affect SVR in either eNOS-Tg or WT mice, whereas the marked vasoconstrictor responses to ATP-sensitive K(+) and voltage-dependent K(+) channel blockade were similar in WT and eNOS-Tg mice. In conclusion, the vasodilator effects of eNOS overexpression are attenuated by a blunted NO responsiveness, likely at the level of guanylyl cyclase, without evidence of eNOS uncoupling or adaptations in other vasoregulatory pathways [5].
Enzyme Assay
cGMP may either inhibit or facilitate synaptic transmission of nociceptive stimuli in the spinal cord. Hence, previously observed dual effects of NO are mirrored by dual effects of cGMP, where cGMP-induced hyperalgesia apparently involves PKG-I activation and upregulation whereas cGMP-induced antinociception is PKG independent. Since the antinociceptive effects require much less cGMP, antinociception appears to be the primary effect.[1]
HO activity [3]
Confluent LLC-PK1 cells in 150-mm culture dishes were incubated for 16 h in the presence of control media, ANP, or 8-Bromo-cGMP. The method used for the determination of HO activity follows the protocol published by Motterlini and co-workers. Briefly, after the incubation, cells were washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline, gently scraped off the dish, and centrifuged (1000 × g for 10 min at 4°C). The cell pellet was suspended in MgCl2 (2 mM) phosphate (100 mM) buffer (pH 7.4), frozen at −70°C, thawed 3 times, and finally sonicated on ice before centrifugation at 18,000 × g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant (400 μl) was added to a NADPH-generating system containing 0.8 mM NADPH, 2 mM glucose-6-phosphate, 0.2 U glucose-6-phosphate-1-dehydrogenase, and 2 mg protein of rat liver cytosol prepared from the 105,000 × g supernatant fraction as a source of biliverdin reductase, potassium phosphate buffer (100 mM, pH 7.4), and hemin (10 μM) in a final volume of 200 μl. The reaction was conducted for 1 h at 37°C in the dark and terminated by addition of 1 ml chloroform. The extracted bilirubin was calculated by the difference in absorption between 464 and 530 nm using a quartz cuvette (extinction coefficient, 40 mM−1 × cm−1 for bilirubin). HO activity was measured as picomoles of bilirubin formed per milligram of endothelial cell protein per hour. Basal HO activity was in a range between 200 and 600 pmol bilirubin/mg protein/h.

Cell viability analysis [3]
LLC-PK1 cells were seeded at 2 × 104 cells/well in 96-well microtiter plates in 100 μl of media containing 15% fetal bovine serum. After a 24-h incubation at 37°C, cells reached confluence and were incubated for 8 h in the presence of ANP, bilirubin, or 8-Bromo-cGMP. SnPP was added 10 min prior to ANP. Then, CsA was given to the cells without washing out the previously added agents. Incubation at 37°C was continued for 48 h, followed by a cytotoxicity assay. Cell viability was measured by staining with crystal violet as previously described. This colorimetric test allows assessment of the remaining viable cells after the incubation procedure. Cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline, fixed with methanol for 5 min, and then stained for 10 min with a 0.1% crystal violet solution. Following 3 washes with tap water, the dye was eluted with 0.1 M trisodium citrate in 50% ethanol for 10 min. Optical density at 630 nm was measured using a microtiter plate reader.
Western blot analysis [3]
LLC-PK1 were cultured in 150-mm dishes as described above. After a 16-h incubation with control media, ANP, or 8-Bromo-cGMP, cells were washed and extracted as described previously. Protein (100 μg) was applied to sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After electrophoresis, protein was transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, and a polyclonal antibody to rat HO-1 was used to identify HO-1 protein content. Antigen antibody complexes were visualized with the horseradish peroxidase chemiluminescence system according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Quantitation of HO-1 protein content was performed using computer-assisted videodensitometry.
Animal Protocol
The rat formalin assay was used to assess effects of the cyclic guanosine mono-phosphate (cGMP) analog, 8-Bromo-cGMP on nociception and cGMP dependent protein kinase I (protein kinase G; PKG-I) expression in lumbar spinal cord. Intrathecal (i.t.) delivery of low doses of 8-bromo-cGMP (0.1–0.25 μmol) reduced nociceptive behavior and formalin-induced upregulation of PKG-I in the spinal cord. Medium doses (0.5–1 μmol i.t.) had no effect and high doses (2.5 μmol i.t.) caused hyperalgesia associated with a further increase of PKG-I expression and a PKG-I clip. To explain these dose-dependent contrary effects we assessed the potential involvement of various cGMP targets: protein kinase G, cyclic nucleotide gated cation channels (CNGs), phosphodiesterases (PDE2 and PDE3) and AMPA-receptors. The PKG inhibitor, Rp-8-bromo-cGMPS did not antagonize the antinociceptive effects of 8-bromo-cGMP but caused antinociception itself. Inhibitors of CNGs, PDE2 and PDE3 had no effect on formalin evoked nociceptive behavior. S-AMPA however, antagonized the antinociceptive effects of 8-Bromo-cGMP. Since AMPA receptor currents were found to be reduced by 8-bromo-cGMP in vitro a direct or indirect reduction of AMPA receptor currents might possibly contribute to the antinociceptive effects of 8-bomo-cGMP. On the other hand, 8-bromo-cGMP evoked antinociception appears to be largely independent of PKG-I, CNGs, PDE2 and PDE3. The antinociceptive effects of the PKG inhibitor suggest that a strong PKG activation may be responsible for ‘high dose’ 8-bromo-cGMP evoked hyperalgesia.[2]
To gain more insight into the role of cGMP in NO-induced hyperalgesia and antinociception we assessed effects of various doses of spinally delivered 8-Bromo-cGMP on nociceptive behavior and alterations of PKG-I expression in the spinal cord after formalin injection into the rat hind paw. In addition, we assessed the involvement of PKG-independent cGMP-targets including CNG channels, PDE2 and PDE3 and AMPA receptors. [2]
Male Sprague–Dawley rats (330–370 g) were used. Drugs were delivered through lumbar intrathecal (i.t.) catheters (12–13 cm polyethylene tubes) in a volume of 10 μl artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) followed by a 10 μl ACSF flush. Ten minutes later 50 μl of 5% formalin was injected subcutaneously into the dorsal surface of one hindpaw. Flinches were recorded for 60 min in 1 min intervals by a blinded observer. Rats were killed 1–96 h after formalin injection and the lumbar spinal cord was excised. [2]
We first assessed the effects of the cGMP analog 8-Bromo-cGMP on the nociceptive behavior in the formalin assay and the expression of PKG-I in lumbar spinal cord (groups of 5–8 animals). We additionally assessed whether the effects of 8-bromo-cGMP (PKG-activator) were antagonized with Rp-8-bromo-cGMPS, a PKG inhibitor. In the second part of the study we investigated the potential involvement of cGMP regulated, but PKG independent pathways. Hence, we assessed the effects of the CNG channel inhibitor, L-cis-diltiazem (0.5 mg i.t.), the PDE2-inhibitor, erythro-hydroxy-nonyl-adenine (EHNA 0.25 μmol i.t.), the PDE3 inhibitor, milrinone (5 and 10 mg/kg i.p.) and effects of S-AMPA on 8-Bromo-cGMP-evoked effects (groups of four to six rats). The doses were chosen on the basis of previous studies and are at the upper tolerable range. Each part of the study included six control animals (ACSF i.t.). [2]
Alterations in systemic vascular NO signaling. [5]
To confirm previous observations that eNOS contributes to the lower vascular tone in the systemic bed of eNOS-Tg mice, we first studied the effect of the eNOS inhibitor l-NAME (100 mg/kg) in 10 WT and 10 eNOS-Tg mice. Subsequently, to study alterations in the NO signal transduction pathway, we determined the systemic vasodilator responses to the eNOS-dependent vasodilator acetylcholine (ACh, 200 μg/kg) (10 WT and 10 eNOS-Tg mice), the NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 300 μg/kg) (15 WT and 15 eNOS-Tg mice), the PDE5 inhibitor EMD-360527 (EMD, 30 mg/kg) (10 WT and 10 eNOS-Tg mice), or the PKG activator 8-Bromo-cGMP (8-Br-cGMP, 10 mg/kg) (10 WT and 10 eNOS-Tg mice).

Additional Infomation
Sodium 8-bromo-3',5'-cyclic GMP is an organic sodium salt having 8-bromoguanosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate as the counterion. A membrane permeable cGMP analogue that activates protein kinase G (PKG). It is 4.3-fold more potent than cGMP in activating PKG1alpha and promotes relaxation of tracheal and vascular smooth muscle tissue in vitro. It has a role as a protein kinase G agonist and a muscle relaxant. It contains an 8-bromo-3',5'-cyclic GMP(1-).
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) exhibit decreased levels of nitric oxide (NO) that may be responsible for the overexpression of Giα proteins that has been shown as a contributing factor for the pathogenesis of hypertension in SHR. The present study was undertaken to investigate if increasing the intracellular levels of NO by NO donor S-Nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP) could attenuate the enhanced expression of Giα proteins in VSMC from SHR and explore the underlying mechanisms responsible for this response. The expression of Giα proteins and phosphorylation of ERK1/2, growth factor receptors and c-Src was determined by Western blotting using specific antibodies. Treatment of VSMC from SHR with SNAP for 24 hrs decreased the enhanced expression of Giα-2 and Giα-3 proteins and hyperproliferation that was not reversed by 1H (1, 2, 4) oxadiazole (4, 3-a) quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), an inhibitor of soluble guanylyl cyclase, however, PD98059, a MEK inhibitor restored the SNAP-induced decreased expression of Giα proteins towards control levels. In addition, the increased production of superoxide anion, NAD(P)H oxidase activity, overexpression of AT1 receptor, Nox4, p22phox and p47phox proteins, enhanced levels of TBARS and protein carbonyl, increased phosphorylation of PDGF-R, EGF-R, c-Src and ERK1/2 in VSMC from SHR were all decreased to control levels by SNAP treatment. These results suggest that NO decreased the enhanced expression of Giα-2/3 proteins and hyperproliferation of VSMC from SHR by cGMP-independent mechanism and involves ROS and ROS-mediated transactivation of EGF-R/PDGF-R and MAP kinase signaling pathways.[1]
Using cultured proximal renal tubular epithelial cells (LLC-PK1), the present study investigates the effect of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) on cytotoxicity induced by cyclosporin A (CsA). Preincubation with ANP (1-100 nM) protected LLC-PK1 cells from CsA-induced toxicity in a concentration-dependent manner. A cytoprotective effect comparable to ANP was observed when preincubating the cells with 8-Bromo-cGMP (1-100 microM) or the antioxidant heme oxygenase (HO) metabolite bilirubin (0.1-10 microM). ANP or cGMP produced increases in HO-1 protein levels at concentrations that were also effective in cellular protection. Moreover, incubation with ANP or 8-bromo cGMP led to increased HO activity, i.e., formation of bilirubin in the cell lysate (up to 3-fold over basal). Tin protoporphyrin-IX (SnPP; 19 microM), an inhibitor of HO activity, completely abolished ANP-induced cytoprotection. Our results demonstrate that HO-1 is a cellular target of ANP and cGMP in renal cells. HO-1 induction and ensuing formation of antioxidant metabolites may be a novel pathway by which ANP protects from CsA-dependent nephrotoxicity and preserves renal function.[3]
The retrograde messenger NO has been suggested to be able to either promote or reduce synaptic transmission of nociceptive stimuli in the spinal cord. The decision between these two possibilities probably depends on the quantity of NO molecules released into the synaptic cleft. NO-induced hyperalgesia is thought to be mediated through activation of the cGMP/PKG pathway. In support, we found that high doses of the PKG activating cGMP analog 8-Bromo-cGMP induce hyperalgesia. However, low doses of spinally delivered 8-bromo-cGMP considerably reduced the nociceptive behavior in the formalin assay. This effect appears to be PKG-independent since the PKG inhibitor, Rp-8-Br-cGMPS was not able to reverse it but rather had an additive effect. Other potential cGMP-targets including CNG channels, PDE2 and PDE3 also are probably not involved in 8-bromo-cGMP evoked antinociception because relative high doses of respective antagonists – L-cis-diltiazem for CNG channels and EHNA and milrinone for PDE2 and PDE3, respectively – had no effect on the nociceptive behavior. Recently, 8-bromo-cGMP was found to depress AMPA receptor currents in response to glutamate in hippocampal neurons independently of PKG activation suggesting that 8-bromo-cGMP may directly or indirectly block AMPA receptors. In the present study, antinociceptive effects of ‘low dose’ 8-bromo-cGMP were completely abolished by intrathecally delivered S-AMPA. Together with the reported in vitro findings, it is conceivable that a reduction of AMPA evoked excitatory post synaptic potentials (EPSP) contributes to the antinociceptive effects of ‘low dose’ 8-bromo-cGMP. However, we do not know whether 8-Bromo-cGMP directly targets AMPA receptors or whether it causes a hyperpolarization and thereby unspecifically reduces AMPA evoked EPSPs. Hence, the direct target of 8-bromo-cGMP evoked antinociception remains unknown.
As has been shown previously, formalin treatment enhanced PKG-I protein levels in the spinal cord. This upregulation was already noticeable at 1 h and had a maximum at 48 h. Both cGMP and cAMP have recently been identified as regulators of PKG gene expression in smooth muscle, however the regulation of PKG expression in the spinal cord is unknown. High doses of 8-Bromo-cGMP further increased PKG-I expression and caused the occurrence of a double PKG band in western blots, one at the original PKG size of 73 kDa, the other at 65 kDa. It has been shown previously that PKG can be cleaved into a catalytically active fragment of 65 kDa, which is spontaneously active without binding of cGMP. The western blot results therefore suggest that administration of high doses of 8-bromo-cGMP cause such a PKG clip. The resulting strong and ongoing PKG activation may explain the considerable increase of the flinching behavior and the occurrence of unspecific toxic effects at this high dose of 8-bromo-cGMP.
In conclusion, our findings suggest that cGMP may either inhibit or facilitate synaptic transmission of nociceptive stimuli in the spinal cord. Hence, previously observed dual effects of NO are mirrored by dual effects of cGMP, where cGMP-induced hyperalgesia apparently involves PKG-I activation and upregulation whereas cGMP-induced antinociception is PKG independent. Since the antinociceptive effects require much less cGMP, antinociception appears to be the primary effect. [2]

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box

Biological Data
  • The effect of 8-Br-cGMP on the Giα protein expression in the aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) from 12-week old spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and age-matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Confluent VSMCs were starved 24 h and incubated in the absence (control) or presence of or 8-Br-cGMP (0.5mM) for 24 h. The cell lysates were prepared and subjected to Western blot analysis using specific antibodies against Giα-2 (A) and Giα-3 (B)) or dynein as loading control, (upper panel) as described in the Materials and methods. Quantification of protein bands was done by densitometric scanning (lower panel). The results are expressed as a percentage of the WKY control (CTL), taken as 100%. Values are the mean ± SD of 4 separate experiments using different cell populations from different animals. **P<0.01, *** P<0.001 vs WKY CTL group, #P<0.05, ### P<0.001 vs SHR CTL group.[1].Sarkar O , et al.
