Summary

Microglia (immune cells of the brain), are used as a surrogate biosensor to determine how nanoparticles influence neurotoxicity. We describe a series of experiments designed to assay microglial response to nanoparticles and exposure of hypothalamic neurons to supernatant from activated microglia to determine neurotoxicity.

Abstract

Nanoparticles found in air pollutants can alter neurotransmitter profiles, increase neuroinflammation, and alter brain function. Therefore, the assay described here will aid in elucidating the role of microglia in neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. The use of microglia, resident immune cells of the brain, as a surrogate biosensor provides novel insight into how inflammatory responses mediate neuronal insults. Here, we utilize an immortalized murine microglial cell line, designated BV2, and describe a method for nanoparticle exposure using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a standard. We describe how to expose microglia to nanoparticles, how to remove nanoparticles from supernatant, and how to use supernatant from activated microglia to determine toxicity, using hypothalamic cell survival as a measure. Following AgNP exposure, BV2 microglial activation was validated using a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The supernatant was filtered to remove the AgNP and to allow cytokines and other secreted factors to remain in the conditioned media. Hypothalamic cells were then exposed to supernatant from AgNP activated microglia and survival of neurons was determined using a resazurin-based fluorescent assay. This technique is useful for utilizing microglia as a surrogate biomarker of neuroinflammation and determining the effect of neuroinflammation on other cell types.

Introduction

Environmental pollutions, specifically those of the nanoparticle (NP) range (1 - 20 nm diameter), have been linked to obesity and other neurodegenerative diseases due to the ability to cross the blood brain barrier 1-3. Elevated exposure to pollution may induce inflammation in the central nervous system including the hypothalamus 1. One potential mechanism in which this occurs could be through nanoparticle induced activation of microglia (brain immune cells) 4. Prior studies have used in vivo models to study the effects of NPs on brain health which are time-consuming, expensive, and do not directly answer the question of how NPs influence microglia. Microglia play a multifaceted role in the central nervous system, including maintenance of the brain microenvironment and communicating with surrounding neurons via the release of secreted factors and cytokines. Depending on the stimuli, microglia can be activated to an M1 pro-inflammatory or an M2 anti-inflammatory state. For example, M1 activated microglia release pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), while M2 activated microglia release anti-inflammatory cytokines including interleukin-4 (IL-4). To validate our surrogate in vitro biosensor for determining neurotoxicity of air pollutants, we measured microglial response to 20 nm silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The goal of this article is to describe how an in vitro microglial cell line can be used as a surrogate biosensor marker for testing murine microglial response to NPs and how microglial activation affects hypothalamic cells. The long-term intended application of this validated model is to test effects of real-world pollutants on brain health and neurodegenerative disease. We provide a detailed description of an in vitro 96-well format assay for measuring microglial activation and hypothalamic cell survival following the exposure of microglial conditioned media.

Microglial activation was determined following AgNP exposure using a TNF-α enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). To determine the effect of activated microglia on hypothalamic cells, the AgNPs were removed from microglial supernatant (conditioned media) using a filtration device. The filtration device retains cytokines while excluding the AgNPs based on size. Briefly, supernatant from microglia treated with or without AgNPs was collected, added to the filters, and centrifuged at 14,000 x g for 15 min. We were then able to determine the influence of microglial secreted cytokines on hypothalamic cell viability. Cell toxicity following exposure to conditioned media (containing cytokines) was determined via a resazurin-based assay as previously described 5,6. Metabolically active cells reduce resazurin and produce a fluorescent signal proportional to the number of viable cells 7.

There are several advantages of using this technique over others (such as co-culture, trans-well setups, or in vivo experiments). Our model provides the ability to directly activate microglia and determine if secreted factors are toxic to neurons 8. The current protocol uses immortalized BV2 microglia stimulated with 20 nm diameter nanoparticles, and immortalized murine hypothalamic cells (designated mHypo-A1/2) 9 for determination of subsequent response. While this protocol has been optimized for these specific conditions, the methods can be altered to be used in other models of microglial-induced cell death, or with other cell types including primary microglia and neurons.

Representative Results

We show that microglia function as a surrogate biosensor for brain response to nanoparticles using the protocol above. Our results include measurement of the toxic effects of microglial activation on downstream neuronal cell death. Figure 1 demonstrates a workflow of the protocol to activate microglia and determine if secreted cytokines reduce viability of hypothalamic neurons. TNF-α secretion was significantly increased following AgNP exposure (Figure 2). When hypothalamic neurons are exposed to conditioned media from AgNP-activated microglia, cell viability is significantly reduced (Figure 3). Figure 4 outlines the potential mechanism in which AgNPs activate microglia and contribute to hypothalamic cell death.

Discussion

Recent studies support that environmental exposure contributes to obesity and other neurodegenerative diseases 11,12. However, techniques used in previous studies are time consuming and expensive. Economic considerations, physiologically relevant delivery systems, ethical issues with extensive use of in vivo animal models, and difficulty translating findings into meaningful health advisories are a few of the major challenges that have impeded advancements in studying NP-induced neurotoxicity 13. Therefore, use of an in vitro microglial surrogate biosensor has become an essential tool for environmental exposure to neurotoxins 14. In the methods described above, we provide a direct way to determine how nanoparticles such as AgNPs activate microglia and induce neurotoxicity. It should be noted that because the cells are not fixed or lysed, other downstream applications including gene expression and Western blots could be performed on the microglia or neurons. In addition to performing a TNF-α ELISA, the supernatant can be used to analyze an array of cytokines and secreted factors from the stimulated microglia.

Microglial activation can be a result of many different factors including environmental exposures, infection, ischemia, and injury resulting in morphological and physiological changes. Chronic M1 microglial activation is associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as obesity, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson disease 5,15-19. Further, the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines from microglia, including TNF-α, contributes to the onset of surrounding neuronal cell death 5,15,20. Other markers that can be investigated after microglial activation are changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitrogen species 17. Because pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α are regulated by the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) 21, other downstream targets within this pathway can be profiled using this protocol. Additionally, microglial activation (acute or chronic) is stimuli dependent. Therefore, the timing and stimuli should be taken into consideration when performing the assays. The main limitation to this assay is that it is an in vitro study. As such, results should be cautiously extrapolated, and overinterpretation of results avoided, until biological significance has been verified in vivo. However, utilizing an in vitro test such as the microglial model described here, as a pre-screening method is a crucial first step to understanding toxicity of nanoparticles. Additionally, the specific particle used in testing should be considered carefully when interpreting results. Our protocol utilizes manufactured single metal AgNPs to serve as a surrogate for environmental pollutant generated nanoparticles. These particles were chosen not to mirror real-world environmental pollutants, but as standardized control particles to validate the methodology. Environmental pollutants represent multiple species of NPs, therefore particle morphology (size, shape, charge) and type of NP (silver, gold, titanium, carbon) should be important aspects of experimental design. Without taking such considerations into account, results may not be physiologically relevant, and thus difficult to interpret.

Critical steps of this protocol are performing proper aseptic technique, using appropriate doses of stimuli, and using the correct filtration device. Considerations for troubleshooting when planning studies to evaluate microglial activation and neuronal cell death include determining appropriate concentrations and incubation time of the stimuli, cell densities, and incubation time for reagents used in the assay. To optimize this assay dose response and time course studies should be performed. Additionally, it is essential to choose the appropriate supernatant filtration device to ensure separation of nanoparticles from secreted cytokines. The filters used in this protocol are able to separate nanoparticles and proteins based on size 22,23. Since AgNPs have a molecular weight of 0.107 kDa and the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α is 17 kDa 24,25, using a filter that has a 10 kDa molecular weight cutoff therefore allows factors or proteins less than 10 kDa (including AgNPs) to be excluded from the conditioned media. To validate that AgNPs were completely removed from the conditioned media, absorbance measurements of the media were taken after filtration and compared to an AgNP standard curve. We can therefore conclude that the cytotoxic effects of the conditioned media was due to cytokines/proteins such as TNF-α released from activated microglia, and not due to residual AgNPs 5.

The microglial model described here can be used to provide valuable insight into the role of microglia-induced cell death after nanoparticle exposure, and validates the effectiveness of utilizing microglia as a surrogate biosensor in determining nanoparticle toxicity 5. Modifications of this protocol can be used to fit other models of microglial-induced cell death including models of neurodegenerative disease, utilization of other cell types (primary, transfected, immortalized), or various alternate stimuli (fatty acids, amyloid-beta) 5,26,27. Although literature supports that BV2 microglia are well characterized and commonly used, it should be noted that slight differences in cytokine profiles or activation response may be observed if using primary microglia or other immortalized cell lines. Therefore, the end user can adapt this model to fully characterize the cytokine profile released by NP-activated microglia using either ELISAs or arrays. Future applications of this technique include utilizing primary cell cultures and testing other environmental nanoparticles including those generated from manufacturing, internal combustion engines, aircraft turbine engines, and coal based power generation plants 28-30.
