Zika-Virus (ZIKV) ist ein Flavivirus, sexuell oder durch die Vektoren Mücke Aedes Aegypti und Aedes Albopictus Mücken übertragen. ZIKV wurde vor kurzem als schwere öffentliche Gesundheitsbedrohung wegen seiner Mühelosigkeit der Übertragung identifiziert und neurologische Symptome1angeschlossen. Eines der wichtigsten über neurologische Wirkungen ist die Entwicklung einer Mikrozephalie bei Feten zu infizierten schwangeren2,3geboren. Mikrozephalie ist eine Neurodevelopmental Störung, wo ist der Kopf kleiner als die typische Größe während der fetalen Entwicklung und bei der Geburt, mit dem Umfang von weniger als 2 Standardabweichungen unter dem Mittelwert4. Die kleineren Kopfumfang wird häufig durch eine Vielzahl von Begleiterkrankungen wie Entwicklungsverzögerungen, Ergreifungen, Vision und Hörverlust und Fütterung Schwierigkeiten begleitet.
Jüngste Studien haben Tiermodelle verwendet oder induzierte pluripotente Stammzellen, die Wirkung der ZIKV Infektion auf Neurodevelopment5,6,7,8zu studieren. Während dieser Studien dazu, unser Wissen über ZIKV, die Verwendung von verschiedenen Arten beigetragen haben oder genetisch veränderte Zellen können sehr zeitaufwändig sein und/oder fügen Sie weitere Variablen, die die Wirkung von ZIKV auf verwirren können Zellen Entwicklung von neuronalen5, 6 , 7 , 8. die Schwierigkeit mit der hNSC Kultur, vor allem die nicht-anhaftende Neurosphäre beschrieben in diesem Protokoll ist jedoch, dass die Kultur sehr empfindlich auf die Methoden verwendet, um die Kultur9durchzuführen. Jede Änderung im Medium-Komponenten oder sogar die physische Abwicklung der das Kulturgefäß ist genug, um eine Reaktion von Zellen9zu entlocken. Um diese Probleme anzugehen, haben wir eine in-vitro- menschlichen fetalen Gehirns abgeleitet neuraler Stammzellen (hNSCs) Kultur zu mechanistisch zu befragen, die Wirkung von ZIKV auf fetale neurale Stammzellen entwickelt. Mit unserer Methode, wurden hNSCs für mehr als 80 Passagen ohne offensichtliche phänotypischen Veränderungen10beibehalten. Darüber hinaus wurden die chromosomale Veränderungen wie z. B. Trisomie entweder keine oder nur minimale11. Diese hNSC Kultur wächst als nicht-anhaftende Neurosphäre Kultur. Ein Vorteil von Neurospheres ist, dass die Kugeln eine einzigartige ökologische Nische in Kultur erstellen, die mehr reflektierende der in Vivo Nischen im Vergleich zu zweidimensionalen Kulturen9ist. Ein weiterer Vorteil dieses Protokolls ist, dass mehrere Zelltypen aus der hNSC Kultur abgeleitet werden können, ermöglichen ein Ermittler zur Beobachtung der Auswirkungen einer bestimmten Variablen auf hNSC überleben und Differenzierung. Dieses Protokoll gilt für Einzelpersonen, die Entwicklung des zentralen Nervensystems oder Dysfunktion mechanistischen Fragen. Das folgende Protokoll beschreibt, wie eine hNSC Kultur um mit ZIKV zu infizieren, und anschließend unterscheiden die hNSCs zur Beobachtung der Auswirkungen einer Infektion auf den Differenzierungsprozess zu erweitern. Es enthält auch Methoden zum Speichern von hNSCs für die langfristige Nutzung und hNSCs in verschiedenen Arten von Neuronen zu unterscheiden, die weitere Untersuchung der ZIKV-induzierten Defizite zur Gehirn Fehlbildung11ermöglichen. Wir glauben, dass dieses Protokoll auch von Interesse für die Ermittler versucht, die Auswirkungen jeder ökologischen Impuls wie Infektionen oder Giftstoffe auf neurale Stammzellen überleben und Differenzierung zu verstehen ist.

Isolation and Quantitative Immunocytochemical Characterization of Primary Myogenic Cells and Fibroblasts from Human Skeletal Muscle

The repair and regeneration of skeletal muscle requires the action of satellite cells, which are the resident muscle stem cells. These can be isolated from human muscle biopsy samples using enzymatic digestion and their myogenic properties studied in culture. Quantitatively, the two main adherent cell types obtained from enzymatic digestion are: (i) the satellite cells (termed myogenic cells or muscle precursor cells), identified initially as CD56+ and later as CD56+/desmin+ cells and (ii) muscle-derived fibroblasts, identified as CD56&#8211; and TE-7+. Fibroblasts proliferate very efficiently in culture and in mixed cell populations these cells may overrun myogenic cells to dominate the culture. The isolation and purification of different cell types from human muscle is thus an important methodological consideration when trying to investigate the innate behavior of either cell type in culture. Here we describe a system of sorting based on the gentle enzymatic digestion of cells using collagenase and dispase followed by magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) which gives both a high purity (&#62;95% myogenic cells) and good yield (~2.8 x 106 &#177; 8.87 x 105 cells/g tissue after 7 days in vitro) for experiments in culture. This approach is based on incubating the mixed muscle-derived cell population with magnetic microbeads beads conjugated to an antibody against CD56 and then passing cells though a magnetic field. CD56+ cells bound to microbeads are retained by the field whereas CD56&#8211; cells pass unimpeded through the column. Cell suspensions from any stage of the sorting process can be plated and cultured. Following a given intervention, cell morphology, and the expression and localization of proteins including nuclear transcription factors can be quantified using immunofluorescent labeling with specific antibodies and an image processing and analysis package.

The main adherent cell types derived from human muscle are myogenic cells and fibroblasts. Here, cell populations are enriched using magnetic-activated cell sorting based on the CD56 antigen. Subsequent immunolabelling with specific antibodies and use of image analysis techniques allows quantification of cytoplasmic and nuclear characteristics in individual cells.

Zika Virus Infectious Cell Culture System and the In Vitro Prophylactic Effect of Interferons

Zika Virus (ZIKV) is an emerging pathogen that is linked to fetal developmental abnormalities such as microcephaly, eye defects, and impaired growth. ZIKV is an RNA virus of the Flaviviridae family. ZIKV is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes, but can also be spread by maternal to fetal vertical transmission as well as sexual contact. To date, there are no reliable treatment or vaccine options available to protect those infected by the virus. The development of a reproducible, effective Zika virus infectious cell culture system is critical for studying the molecular mechanisms of ZIKV replication as well as drug and vaccine development. In this regard, a protocol describing a mammalian cell-based in vitro Zika virus culture system for viral production and growth analysis is reported here. Details on the formation of plaques by Zika virus on a cell monolayer and plaque assay for measuring viral titer are presented. Viral genome replication kinetics and double-stranded RNA genome replicatory intermediates are determined. This culture platform was utilized to screen against a library of a small set of cytokines resulting in the identification of interferon-&#945; (IFN-&#945;), IFN-&#946; and IFN-&#947; as potent inhibitors of Zika viral growth. In summary, an in vitro infectious Zika viral culture system and various virological assays are demonstrated in this study, which has the potential to greatly benefit the research community in elucidating further the mechanisms of viral pathogenesis and the evolution of viral virulence. Antiviral IFN-alpha can further be evaluated as a prophylactic, post-exposure prophylactic, and treatment option for Zika virus infections in high-risk populations, including infected pregnant women.

Evaluation of Zika Virus-specific T-cell Responses in Immunoprivileged Organs of Infected Ifnar1-/- Mice

The Zika virus (ZIKV) can induce inflammation in immunoprivileged organs (e.g., the brain and testis), leading to the Guillain-Barr&#233; syndrome and damaging the testes. During an infection with the ZIKV, immune cells have been shown to infiltrate into the tissues. However, the cellular mechanisms that define the protection and/or immunopathogenesis of these immune cells during a ZIKV infection are still largely unknown. Herein, we describe methods to evaluate the virus-specific T-cell functionality in these immunoprivileged organs of ZIKV-infected mice. These methods include a) a ZIKV infection and vaccine inoculation in Ifnar1-/- mice; b) histopathology, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry assays to detect the virus infection and inflammation in the brain, testes, and spleen; c) the preparation of a tetramer of ZIKV-derived T-cell epitopes; d) the detection of ZIKV-specific T cells in the monocytes isolated from the brain, testes, and spleen. Using these approaches, it is possible to detect the antigen-specific T cells that have infiltrated into the immunoprivileged organs and to evaluate the functions of these T cells during the infection: potential immune protection via virus clearance and/or immunopathogenesis to exacerbate the inflammation. These findings may also help to clarify the contribution of T cells induced by the immunization against ZIKV.

A protocol to evaluate antigen-specific T-cell responses in the immunoprivileged organs of the Ifnar1-/- murine model for the Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is described. This method is pivotal for investigating the cellular mechanisms of the protection and immunopathogenesis of ZIKV vaccines and is also valuable for their efficacy evaluation.

Modelling Zika Virus Infection of the Developing Human Brain In Vitro Using Stem Cell Derived Cerebral Organoids

The recent emergence of Zika virus (ZIKV) in susceptible populations has led to an abrupt increase in microcephaly and other neurodevelopmental conditions in newborn infants. While mosquitos are the main route of viral transmission, it has also been shown to spread via sexual contact and vertical mother-to-fetus transmission. In this latter case of transmission, due to the unique viral tropism of ZIKV, the virus is believed to predominantly target the neural progenitor cells (NPCs) of the developing brain.
Here a method for modeling ZIKV infection, and the resulting microcephaly, that occur when human cerebral organoids are exposed to live ZIKV is described. The organoids display high levels of virus within their neural progenitor population, and exhibit severe cell death and microcephaly over time. This three-dimensional cerebral organoid model allows researchers to conduct species-matched experiments to observe and potentially intervene with ZIKV infection of the developing human brain. The model provides improved relevance over standard two-dimensional methods, and contains human-specific cellular architecture and protein expression that are not possible in animal models.

Establishing Mouse Models for Zika Virus-induced Neurological Disorders Using Intracerebral Injection Strategies: Embryonic, Neonatal, and Adult

The Zika virus (ZIKV) is a flavivirus currently endemic in North, Central, and South America. It is now established that the ZIKV can cause microcephaly and additional brain abnormalities. However, the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of ZIKV in the developing brain remains unclear. Intracerebral surgical methods are frequently used in neuroscience research to address questions about both normal and abnormal brain development and brain function. This protocol utilizes classical surgical techniques and describes methods that allow one to model ZIKV-associated human neurological disease in the mouse nervous system. While direct brain inoculation does not model the normal mode of virus transmission, the method allows investigators to ask targeted questions concerning the consequence after ZIKV infection of the developing brain. This protocol describes embryonic, neonatal, and adult stages of intraventricular inoculation of ZIKV. Once mastered, this method can become a straightforward and reproducible technique that only takes a few hours to perform.

Here we describe a method for establishing a model of Zika virus-induced microcephaly in mouse. This protocol includes methods for embryonic, neonatal, and adult-stage intracerebral inoculation of the Zika virus.

Isolation and Quantification of Zika Virus from Multiple Organs in a Mouse

The methods being presented demonstrate laboratory procedures for the isolation of organs from Zika virus infected animals and the quantification of viral load. The purpose of the procedure is to quantify viral titers in peripheral and CNS areas of the mouse at different time points post infection or under different experimental conditions to identify virologic and immunological factors that regulate Zika virus infection. The organ isolation procedures demonstrated allow for both focus forming assay quantification and quantitative PCR assessment of viral titers. The rapid organ isolation techniques are designed for the preservation of virus titer. Viral titer quantification by focus forming assay allows for the rapid throughput assessment of Zika virus. The benefit of the focus forming assay is the assessment of infectious virus, the limitation of this assay is the potential for organ toxicity reducing the limit of detection. Viral titer assessment is combined with quantitative PCR, and using a recombinant RNA copy control viral genome copy number within the organ is assessed with low limit of detection. Overall these techniques provide an accurate rapid high throughput method for the analysis of Zika viral titers in the periphery and CNS of Zika virus infected animals and can be applied to the assessment of viral titers in the organs of animals infected with most pathogens, including Dengue virus.

The goal of the protocol is to demonstrate the techniques used to investigate viral disease by isolating and quantifying Zika virus, from multiple organs in a mouse following infection.

The video demonstrates intracerebral injection of Zika virus suspension in an adult mouse to induce neurodegeneration. An anesthetized mouse is secured in a stereotaxic frame, and a hole is drilled into the exposed skull for injection. A suspension of the Zika virus is injected into the brain tissue. The viral infection causes inflammation, leading to neurodegeneration.
