Assessing Glutamatergic Neurons and Glioma Cells Interactions in a Co-Culture

-- views • 1:18 min

成績單

Begin with a laminin-coated, compartmentalized microfluidic device positioned over a patterned multielectrode array or MEA.

The device carries cultured iPSC-derived cortical glutamatergic neurons adhered to microelectrodes of an MEA.

These neurons communicate via electrical signals. Record these signals as baseline neuronal activity.

Next, seed the device with glutamate -rich pediatric high-grade glioma cells, a type of brain tumor cell, and incubate.

Over time, glioma cells enter the channel and attach, establishing the co-culture. Later, glioma cells release glutamate, an excitatory neurotransmitter.

The released glutamate interacts with neuronal receptors, leading to an influx of calcium and sodium ions that causes neuronal membrane depolarization.

This induces neuronal excitability and enhances neuronal activity.

Re-record the electrical signals, and a significant increase after co-culture indicates successful neuron and glioma cell interaction.
