Abstract: Compartmented 문화의 도설 루트 신경의 뉴런의 준비 및 유지 관리

뉴런은 멀리 대상 - 파생 성장 요소의 연결을 생존과 기능에 필요한 대상 조직을 신경을 분포시키다하는 세포 본체에서 제거됩니다 axonal 프로세스를 확장합니다. Neurotrophins은 특히 감각 뉴런을 innervating의 생존과 분화를 유지하기 위해 필요하지만, 이러한 목표 - 파생 neurotrophins은 innervating 뉴런의 세포 기관에 의사 소통 방법의 문제는 30 년 넘게 적극적인 연구 영역을했습니다. neurotrophin 신호가 세포 신체에 도달하는 방법 중 가장 일반적으로 인정 모델은 신호가 축삭을 따라 retrogradely이 신호를 운반 endosomes 것을 제안합니다. 역행 수송을 연구하기 위해, 문화 시스템은 원래 세포 시신은 axons으로부터 격리하는 로버트 Campenot에 의해 고안되었다. culturing 감각 뉴런의 recapitulates 대상 - 파생 neurotrophins의 생체내 다음 릴리스에서 발생하는 신경 세포 단말기의 선택적 자극에 대해 이러한 compartmented 회의소 준​​비의 기술. 장거리 미세 소관에 의존 역행 수송을 필요로 역행 신호 이벤트가 neurodegenerative 장애의 치료에 중요한 의미를했습니다.

Discussion: Compartmented 문화의 도설 루트 신경의 뉴런의 준비 및 유지 관리

이 비디오에서는, 우리는 culturing의 DRG의 뉴런에 사용하기 위해 compartmented 회의소를 준비하고 유지하는 방법을 증명하고있다. 제대로 완료,이 시스템은 neurotrophins 오래 axons에 걸쳐 신호를하는 메커니즘을 연구하기 위해 축삭에서 세포 기관의 분리 수 있습니다. 구획 사이에 유체 절연이 있기 때문에, 그것은 다른 구획에 영향을받지 않고 한 구역의 선택적 자극이나 치료 수 있습니다. Compartmented 챔버 문화는 우수 자궁 경부 신경, 망막 신경절의 뉴런과 뉴런에서 대뇌 피질의 교감 신경 등 다른 세포 유형을 지원할 수 있습니다. neurotrophin 신호 전달의 공간적 이해 neurodegenerative 장애의 치료에 새로운 통찰력을 제공할 수 있습니다. 알츠하이머 병, 헌팅턴의 질환과 운동 신경 질환을 포함한 몇몇 neurodegenerative 장애는, axonal 교통의 결함과 관련 있습니다. 최근 연구 microfluidic 챔버 대신 이러한 compartmented 회의소를 사용했습니다. 4,5 microfluidic 챔버 스는 이미지 분석을위한 몇 가지 장점이 있습니다.

이전 연구는 축삭과 세포 바디 구획 1,3,6 사이의 확산을 방지하기 위해 이들 문화의 능력을 테스트했습니다. 이것은 쉽게 하나의 구획 이러한 trypan 파란색으로 염색의 낮은 농도를 추가하고, 염료의 확산 찾는하여 테스트할 수 있습니다. 24 시간 이내에 볼 수 거의 또는 전혀 보급이 있어야합니다.

Hi

I have just watch your presentaion on the Preparation and Maintenance of Dorsal Root Ganglia Neurons in Compartmented Cultures and it was very impressive. I am intersted in the function of the methylcellulose, does it provide a space through which the axons can pass, do the cell bodies settle on the collagen surface.

Regards

Paul

Hi Paul-
Thank you for your comment.  The cell bodies do settle onto the collagen surface.  As for the small amount of N2-methylcellulose that is placed on the center of the scratch, the media acts as a space for the axons to extend easily on and the methylcellulose is used to thicken the media slightly. 

Good Luck,
Maria

Hi,

your method looks simple and powerfull.

It's possible to make an immuno staining without to remove the teflon divider? Does the divider cause troubles during immunofluorescence staining for example?

Thank you for your comment. Fix, wash and add antibodies as usual within the compartments for immunostaining. Remove the divider, carefully wipe away excess grease and coverslip before imaging.

Hi Maria,

I had a question about immunostaining. So in reference to your above comment, you keep the teflon dividers in place when you fix and add antibodies, and only remove it at the end of immunostaining? Is anything else different?

Thanks,

Hi

Amazing video; really impressive and well constructed. I'm hoping to use the compartmented culture system for some of my experiments and so am currently trying to set it up however as i hope to do immunostaining of the cultures I was just wondering whether you use just normal polystyrene cell culture dishes or glass-bottomed dishes/ dishes with a glass coverlip plated in it? If you use glass what thickness and type of glass do you use?

The reason I ask is I've been seeing whether I can coat glass coverslips with collagen in order to be able to detach them from the dishes and mount them onto microscope slides later however I don't seem to be able to coat the borosilicate glass coverslips that I have. I've tried all sorts of methods including your protocol here but it seems that the collagen doesn't want to stick to the glass. They are definitely degreased throughly therefore I was wondering whether it was an issue with the charge of the glass and whether there was a different sort of glass I should be using.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Best regards, Philippa

Hi Philippa-

Thank you for your comment.  We only use polystyrene cell culture dishes that have been coated with collagen.  It is impossible to make the necessary scratches on the glass.  We often do immunostaining and image with this system, however, there is another system, microfluidic chambers, that may give you higher quality images.

Good Luck,

Maria

Dear Philippa, I have seen the video and read your comment only yesterday, but maybe this can help: at www.mattek.com, you can order 35mm or 50mm dishes with a partially glass bottom (coverslip that you can even take out afterwards and that is either uncoated or coated with collagen or poly-D-lysine). We have been using them on a regular basis for live cell imaging and they're very useful. From my side, I was wondering if you made any progress with scratching glass dishes, because I would like to do this for my particular experiment. Best regards, Katrien

Hi Katrien,

Thank you for your suggestions. In answer to your question unfortunately I wasn't able to scratch the glass coverslips. Unfortunately I think it would be a case of having to get them engraved independently. I've been using the polystyrene cell culture dishes since and although maybe the optics aren't as good as they could I'm actually still able to obtain very good images after immunostaining with the inverted microscope. So if this is similar to what you plan to do it might be worth a try. Best of luck.

Of course: I work with a 20x magnification and take a series of consecutive images of the neurites that have extended into the side compartments in order to reconstruct the whole image and assess neurite outgrowth before and after a treatment. I would prefer to use 10x magnification but we don't have the lens for it. Hope that helps. Philippa

Hi Anand-
The DRGs are located along each side of the spinal cord. In the E15 rats, the DRGs are clearly visible as ganglia along the spinal cord. At older ages the DRGs are encased within the vertebrae.

Hi,

many thanks for posting this really helpful video. When you apply the grease on the divider do you work under a hood? If not, how do you maintain sterility? I have tried working outside a hood and I have had problem of contamination (all solutions, and tools have been either filtered or autoclaved)

Kind regards,

Ale

Hi Ale-
It would be best if you set up the cultures in a dissecting hood if you are having problems with contamination. We use UV to sterilize the area but the hood that we work under has no air flow and is therefore not a completely sterile environment.

Good Luck,
Maria

Beautiful work! And I have been tried to constructed the compartmented cultures for many times but failed .I don't know why. I wonder how do you get to 100,000 cells .Could you please elaborate a bit more on the DRG dissection .In my compartmented cultures ,there are only a few axons across the barrier and get to the distal compartment.I have tried it for many times but the results are the same.I guss if the cell differentiation is not good enough or something wrong with the applying grease.I have no idea .So i think if you can give me your email and I have many problems to ask you.My email is jjdongch@gmail .com. I am looking forward to your reply .Thank you!
