Abstract: Upprättande och underhåll av ryggfenan Nervceller rotganglier i Fackindelade kulturer

Nervceller förlänga axonal processer som ligger långt från cellkroppen till innerverar målvävnader, där mål-derived growth faktorer krävs för neuronal överlevnad och funktion. Neurotrofinernas är specifikt krävs för att upprätthålla överlevnad och differentiering av innervating sensoriska neuroner, men frågan om hur dessa mål som härrör neurotrofinernas meddela cellkroppen av innervating nervceller har varit ett område med aktiv forskning i över 30 år. Den mest allmänt accepterade modellen för hur neurotrophin signaler når cellkroppen föreslår att signalering endosomes bära denna signal retrogradely längs axonet. För att studera retrograd transport, var en kultur system som ursprungligen utvecklades av Robert Campenot, i vilken cell organ är isolerade från sina axoner. Tekniken att förbereda dessa fackindelade kammare för odling sensoriska neuroner rekapitulerar den selektiva stimulering av neuron terminaler som sker in vivo efter utsläpp av mål-derived neurotrofinernas. Retrograd signalering händelser som kräver lång räckvidd mikrotubuli beroende retrograd transport har viktiga konsekvenser för behandling av neurodegenerativa sjukdomar.

Protocol: Upprättande och underhåll av ryggfenan Nervceller rotganglier i Fackindelade kulturer

Beredning av reagenser

  1. Kollagen beläggning: kollagen päls P35 vävnadsodling tallrikar och placera i en ugn vid 37 ° C i 2 dagar innan smörjning av avdelare. Den slutliga koncentrationen av kollagen bör vara 0,71 mg / ml utspätt i 0,001 N HCl. Lägg sedan till 1 ml av blandningen per platta.
  2. Fett lastare: För att fylla fett Loader måste en 60ml sprutan först fyllas med Corning vakuum fett. Använd sprutan för att fylla fett lastaren, linda in det i folie och sedan autoklav i 45 minuter.
  3. Teflon avdelare: de avdelare kan återanvändas efter varje experiment utan måste först rengöras ordentligt. Ta bort divider från plattan, torka av alla kvarvarande fett och plats i svavelsyra i 2 dagar. Efter att från syra, skölj med vatten 3X, koka i 20 minuter, låt torka, lägg i ett glas P100 petriskål och autoklav i 20 minuter.
  4. N2-metylcellulosa: Väg ​​upp 1,5 g metylcellulosa och placera den i en 500 ml flaska. Lägg till en omrörare och autoklav det i 20 minuter på torra (från denna punkt allt arbete måste vara sterila). Lägg sedan till 500 ml av serum fria medier (N 2) och rör i ett kallt rum tills det löser sig. Fördela i 50 ml conicals och frys vid -20 ° C. För arbete lager, uppmätt en av de 50 ml conicals i 1 mL rör och fryser vid -20 ° C.
  5. DRG media: DMEM, 5% värmeinaktiverad häst serum, och 1% penicillin streptomycin.
  6. 100ng/mL DRGN medier: lager koncentration av både nervtillväxtfaktor (NGF) och brain-neurotrofa faktor (BDNF) är 1mg/ml. Späd varje neurotrofinernas 1:10,000 i DRG media. Kulturer kan odlas i NGF ensam, detta förändrar komplement av nervceller som överlever i de kulturer.

    Anm: Vid behov, är koncentrationen av (cytosin arabinoside) Arac 1um och användas på en slutlig koncentration av 0.3uM. Detta kommer att hämma tillväxten av Schwann celler och andra Glia.

  7. 10ng/mL DRGN media: Späd den 100ng/mL DRGN media (1:10) med DRG medier.

    Figur 1


    Figur 1. Verktyg som behövs vid installation

Ställa in fackindelade kamrarna (påbörja denna process 1-2 dagar före dissekering)

  1. Gör en repa i mitten av en kollagen belagd P35 rätt med ett yttre rörelse.
  2. Plats 30ul av N2-metylcellulosa på mitten av scratch. Ställ rätter åt sidan tills delaren är smord.
  3. Fäst en 23-gauge luer påbörjad adaptern till fett lastaren. Greppa Teflon avdelare med ett par 90 ° vinkel peanger och lägg den platt med avdelare uppåt under ett mikroskop. Spåra divider med fett att se till att varje gång adaptern är placerad på en ny startpunkt adaptern sätts in i fett från föregående steg så att det finns en obruten linje av fett (se diagram). När fett tillämpas på hela avdelare, slå en av det beredda P35 rätter upp och ner och placera den så att N2-metylcellulosa är över det mellersta facket. Tryck ned på botten av skålen med en pincett. Se till att trycka på insidan av avdelare i fyra hörn (uppe till vänster, nedre högra, övre högra, nedre vänstra, som anges i diagram med "X").

    Figur 2

    Figur 2: Åtgärder för att smörja avdelare

    OBS: Det är viktigt att trycka fast nog så att fettet gör en komplett tätning med skålen, men om för mycket press läggs kommer axoner inte korsa in i sidofack.

    Plocka upp peanger, vänd på den och unclamp skiljelinjen. Slutligen Placera skålen med skiljelinjen fastsatt under mikroskop med fokus på botten av det mellersta facket. Med fett lastaren, göra en liten barriär (0,25 cm) så att när cellerna är placerad i mitten facket att de inte kan läcka ut.
  4. Efter att ha satt upp flera kulturer, placera media DRG i varje sidofack och placera i en inkubator där cellerna kommer att bibehållas. Låt kulturerna att sitta i flera timmar och kontrollera sedan för läckage. Om materialet har läckt in i mitten facket, då kulturen är oanvändbara.

    Notera: När första lära sig denna teknik är det viktigt att skapa mer kultur än vad som behövs för ett experiment, eftersom flera kommer att läckande.

    Figur 3

    Figur 3: "Good vs läckande" kultur

Att upprätthålla DRG nervceller i fackindelade kulturer

  1. Dag 1: Byt DRG media i sidofack med 100ng/mL DRGN media + Arac. Utför dissektion och lägga till celler till centrum fack (100.000 celler).
  2. Dag 2: Lägg 10ng/mL media + Arac till utsidan av teflon avdelare tills medierna flyter över fettspärr och utbyte vätska med centrum facket.
  3. Dag 3: Byt media i sidofack till 100ng/mL DRGN utelämna Arac och surroundljud med 10ng/mL DRGN utelämna Arac.
  4. Dag 6: Byt media i sidofack till 1ng/mL + Arac och surroundljud med DRG media + Arac.
  5. Dag 9: Använd för experiment.


    Figur 4

    Figur 4: IHC bilder av cellens organ och distala axoner



    Observera: Vid byte av media, är det viktigt att aspirera vätskan från toppen av varje sida fack. Också, aldrig ändra media från det mellersta facket självt, bara från surround, och lät den rinna över fettet barriären till centrum.

Discussion: Upprättande och underhåll av ryggfenan Nervceller rotganglier i Fackindelade kulturer

I den här filmen har vi visat hur man förbereder och underhåller fackindelade kamrar för användning i nervceller odling DRG. Görs rätt, ger detta system separation av cellkroppen från axonet för att studera mekanismer genom vilka neurotrofinernas signaler över långa axoner. Eftersom det finns fluidic isolering mellan fack, gör det för selektiv stimulering eller behandling av en avdelning utan att de andra facken påverkas. Fackindelade kammare kulturer kan stödja andra celltyper inklusive sympatiska nervceller från den överlägsna livmoderhalscancer ganglierna, retinal nervceller ganglion, och kortikala nervceller. Spatial förståelse för neurotrophin signaltransduktion kan ge nya insikter i behandling av neurodegenerativa sjukdomar. Flera neurodegenerativa sjukdomar, inklusive Alzheimers sjukdom, Huntingtons sjukdom och motor neuron sjukdom, är förknippade med defekter i axonal transport. Nyligen genomförda studier har använt mikroflödessystem kammare i stället för dessa fackindelade kammare. Den mikroflödessystem kamrarna 4,5 ha flera fördelar för bildanalys.

Tidigare studier har testat möjligheterna för dessa kulturer för att förhindra spridning mellan axon och cellkroppen facket 1,3,6. Detta kan lätt testas genom att lägga till låga koncentrationer av ett färgämne som trypan blå till ett fack bara, och leta efter spridning av färgen. Det ska vara liten eller ingen spridning synliga inom 24 timmar.

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?

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,

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,

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!
