<ol>
	<li>Decapitate a 6&#8211;7-day old mouse pup using decapitation scissors. Perform the dissection of the brain in a sterile tissue culture hood.</li>
	<li>To remove the brain, grasp the head using a pair of forceps and cut through the skin toward the anterior of the head using microdissection scissors as demonstrated in&#160;Figure 1. Then cut through the skull bone using a new pair of scissors to minimize risk of contamination. Remove the skull covering the brain using forceps and tease out the brain using forceps or a spatula.
	<ol>
		<li>As needed, cut through the optic nerve to facilitate getting the brain out as a whole.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Place the brain in the dissection solution, which is supplemented with MgSO4. Keep the solution and the brain on ice.</li>
	<li>Following brain removal, under a dissection microscope, dissect out the cerebellum from the brain while still in MgSO4&#160;supplemented dissection solution, and remove the meninges using fine forceps. Turn the cerebellum to its ventral side and insure removal of the choroid plexus.</li>
	<li>Pool the cerebella into a 35-mm dish containing ~1 mL of MgSO4&#160;supplemented dissection solution.</li>
	<li>Chop the tissue into small pieces and transfer into a 50 mL tube containing 30 mL of MgSO4&#160;buffered dissection solution.</li>
</ol>
3. Mouse Cerebellar Granule Neuron Isolation and Culturing
<ol>
	<li>Centrifuge the 50 mL tube containing the chopped cerebral tissue for 5 min at 644 x g and 4 &#176;C.</li>
	<li>Remove the supernatant and add 10 mL of trypsin dissection solution. Then, shake the tube at high speed for 15 min at 37 &#176;C.</li>
	<li>Add 10 mL of trypsin inhibitor solution 1 to the tube and rock gently for 2 min.</li>
	<li>Centrifuge the tube for 5 min at 644 x g and 4 &#176;C.</li>
	<li>Remove the supernatant and add 2 mL of trypsin inhibitor solution 2, and then transfer to a 15 mL tube.</li>
	<li>Triturate the tissue in the 15 mL tube until the solution becomes murky. Then let settle for 5 min.</li>
	<li>Remove the clear supernatant and transfer the supernatant to a new tube containing 1 mL of CaCl2&#160;supplemented dissection solution.</li>
	<li>Add another mL of trypsin inhibitor solution 2 to the bottom of the tube containing the pellet from step 3.6. Triturate again and let settle for 5 min. Remove the supernatant and add it to the tube containing the supernatant from step 3.7 (That is a repeat of steps 3.6-3.7). Repeat this process until most of the tissue is mechanically dissociated.</li>
	<li>Add 0.3 mL of CaCl2&#160;supplemented dissection solution to the supernatant collection for every mL of supernatant.</li>
	<li>Mix the contents of the tube and then centrifuge for 5 min at 644 x g.</li>
	<li>Remove the supernatant and add 10 mL of fresh media to the pellet and mix.</li>
	<li>Cells may then be counted and diluted to a concentration of 1.5 x 106&#160;cells/mL. Please note that in general 10 million cells are expected from each dissected brain, dependent on trypsinization time and efficiency of dissection. Plate cells on previously made poly D-lysine plates. For 4-well plates, plate 0.5 mL, giving 7.5 x 105&#160;cells per well. For 35-mm dishes, plate 4 mL, giving 6 x 106&#160;cells per plate.</li>
	<li>After 24 h, add cytosine-&#946;-arabino furanoside (AraC) to the plates to reduce glial contamination. For each mL of media 0.5 &#181;L of 20 mM AraC is required. Addition of AraC does not require a media change. If cells are to be maintained for 7-8 days, repeat this treatment on day 3.</li>
	<li>Maintain cultures in a 5% CO2&#160;incubator at 37 &#176;C and feed with 100 &#181;L of 100 mM glucose added to the culture for every 2 mL of media every 2 days past 5 days. A complete media change is not required.</li>
</ol>
4. Modeling Neuronal Injury
<ol>
	<li>To induce ROS-induced cell death (oxidative stress), treat neurons with 75-100 &#181;M hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and switch to conditioned media from parallel cultures following 5 min exposure to H2O2. Note, due to the instability of H2O2, optimize the concentration to a level that induces 50-70% cell death in culture following 24 h of treatment (Figure 2).</li>

modeling reactive oxygen species-induced neuronal death in mouse cerebellar granule neurons

Source: Laaper, M. et al., <a href="https://app.jove.com/v/55871">Modeling Neuronal Death and Degeneration in Mouse Primary Cerebellar Granule Neurons.</a>&#160;J. Vis. Exp. (2017).
This video outlines the generation of a neuronal injury model using reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mouse primary cerebellar granule neurons. It details the process of inducing oxidative stress by adding high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. ROS exposure causes DNA strand breaks and genomic instability. Additionally, the oxidation of cellular proteins impairs their functions, while lipid peroxidation compromises membrane integrity. This cascade leads to cytochrome c release and caspase activation, resulting in neuronal apoptosis.

		Dissolve 3.62 g of ...

Take a culture of mouse primary cerebellar granule neurons.
Add media containing hydrogen peroxide, a reactive oxygen species or ROS, and incubate briefly.
Hydrogen peroxide diffuses into the cells and is converted into highly reactive free radicals.
These radicals induce lipid peroxidation, compromising the integrity of the cell membrane.
Additionally, the radicals cause oxidative modifications in cellular proteins, impairing their function.
Furthermore, they induce DNA breaks, leading to genomic instability.
The radicals also cause oxidative damage to intracellular organelles, including mitochondria.
In response, the damaged mitochondria release cytochrome c, which binds to the apoptotic protease activating factor-1, triggering apoptosome formation and the conversion of pro-caspase-9 to active caspase-9.
Caspase 9 activates executioner caspases, further cleaving cellular proteins and leading to apoptotic neuronal death.
Replace the media with fresh, hydrogen peroxide-free media to halt the signaling cascade.

Selective Depletion of Microglia from Cerebellar Granule Cell Cultures Using L-leucine Methyl Ester

Microglia, the resident immunocompetent cells of the CNS, play multifaceted roles in modulating and controlling neuronal function, as well as mediating innate immunity. Primary rodent cell culture models have greatly advanced our understanding of neuronal-glial interactions, but only recently have methods to specifically eliminate microglia from mixed cultures been utilized. One such technique &#8211; described here &#8211; is the use of L-leucine methyl ester, a lysomotropic agent that is internalized by macrophages and microglia, wherein it causes lysosomal disruption and subsequent apoptosis13,14. Experiments using L-leucine methyl ester have the power to identify the contribution of microglia to the surrounding cellular environment under diverse culture conditions. Using a protocol optimized in our laboratory, we describe how to eliminate microglia from P5 rodent cerebellar granule cell culture. This approach allows one to assess the relative impact of microglia on experimental data, as well as determine whether microglia are playing a neuroprotective or neurotoxic role in culture models of neurological conditions, such as stroke, Alzheimer&#8217;s or Parkinson&#8217;s disease.

Microglia can influence neurons and other glia in culture by various non-cell autonomous mechanisms. Here, we present a protocol to selectively deplete microglia from primary neuronal cultures. This method has the potential to elucidate the role of microglial-neuronal interactions, with implications for neurodegenerative conditions where neuroinflammation is a hallmark feature.

A Simple Neuronal Mechanical Injury Methodology to Study Drosophila Motor Neuron Degeneration

The degeneration of neurons occurs during normal development and in response to injury, stress, and disease. The cellular hallmarks of neuronal degeneration are remarkably similar in humans and invertebrates as are the molecular mechanisms that drive these processes. The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, provides a powerful yet simple genetic model organism to study the cellular complexities of neurodegenerative diseases. In fact, approximately 70% of disease-associated human genes have a Drosophila homolog and a plethora of tools and assays have been described using flies to study human neurodegenerative diseases. More specifically the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) in Drosophila has proven to be an effective system to study neuromuscular diseases because of the ability to analyze the structural connections between the neuron and the muscle. Here, we report on an in vivo motor neuron injury assay in Drosophila, which reproducibly induces neurodegeneration at the NMJ by 24 h. Using this methodology, we have described a temporal sequence of cellular events resulting in motor neuron degeneration. The injury method has diverse applications and has also been utilized to identify specific genes required for neurodegeneration and to dissect transcriptional responses to neuronal injury.

Targeted Neuronal Injury for the Non-Invasive Disconnection of Brain Circuitry

Surgical intervention can be quite effective for treating certain types of medically intractable neurological diseases. This approach is particularly useful for disorders in which identifiable neuronal circuitry plays a key role, such as epilepsy and movement disorders. Currently available surgical modalities, while effective, generally involve an invasive surgical procedure, which can result in surgical injury to non-target tissues. Consequently, it would be of value to expand the range of surgical approaches to include a technique that is both non-invasive and neurotoxic.
Here, a method is presented for producing focal, neuronal lesions in the brain in a non-invasive manner. This approach utilizes low-intensity focused ultrasound together with intravenous microbubbles to transiently and focally open the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB). The period of transient BBB opening is then exploited to focally deliver a systemically administered neurotoxin to a targeted brain area. The neurotoxin quinolinic acid (QA) is normally BBB-impermeable, and is well-tolerated when administered intraperitoneally or intravenously. However, when QA gains direct access to brain tissue, it is toxic to the neurons. This method has been used in rats and mice to target specific brain regions. Immediately after MRgFUS, successful opening of the BBB is confirmed using contrast enhanced T1-weighted imaging. After the procedure, T2 imaging shows injury restricted to the targeted area of the brain and the loss of neurons in the targeted area can be confirmed post-mortem utilizing histological techniques. Notably, animals injected with saline rather than QA do demonstrate opening of the BBB, but dot not exhibit injury or neuronal loss. This method, termed Precise Intracerebral Non-invasive Guided surgery (PING) could provide a non-invasive approach for treating neurological disorders associated with disturbances in neural circuitry.

The goal of the protocol is to provide a method for producing non-invasive neuronal lesions in the brain. The method utilizes Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) to open the Blood Brain Barrier in a transient and focal manner, in order to deliver a circulating neurotoxin to the brain parenchyma.
