Mielinização de axónios é um processo crucial para a função óptima de ambos os sistemas nervosos central e periférico de vertebrados. A geração e manutenção de axónios mielinizados é um processo complexo e coordenada envolvendo interacções moleculares entre neuronal, glial (a partir de células de Schwann ou oligodendrócitos) e as proteínas de matriz extracelulares. A importância e aplicabilidade deste protocolo é que ele permite a manipulação de proteínas em um tipo específico de célula dentro ...

Mielinização de axónios é crucial para a transmissão rápida e eficiente do potencial de acção em ambos os sistemas nervosos central e periférico. As células especializadas, as células de Schwann no sistema nervoso periférico e oligodendrócitos no sistema nervoso central, enrole e embainham axônios em mielina, efetivamente isolamento do nervo e que facilitam a condução saltatory 1. O processo de mielinização pode ser estudada in vitro usando neurónios ganglionares da retina 2, 3, nanofibras modificadas ou neurónios do gânglio da raiz dorsal de co-cultivados quer com células de Schwann 4 ou oligodendrócitos 5-7. O ensaio de mielinização in vitro é um modelo estabelecido para o estudo da mielinização do sistema nervoso e que replica muitos dos processos fundamentais que ocorrem durante a mielinização in vivo 5-8. O teste envolve a co-cultura das populações puras de gânglio de raiz dorsal (DRG) neurônios, com OPCs (para CNS mielinização) ou células de Schwann (por PNS) mielinização. Sob condições específicas destas células mielinizantes embainham axónios DRG na ordenada, ultra-estruturalmente verificado, folha multi-lamelar de isolamento membrana plasmática que expressam o mesmo complemento de proteínas específicas de mielina presentes in vivo. O modelo de célula mais vulgarmente utilizado de estudar a mielinização do SNC in vitro é a co-culturas de neurónios DRG e OPCs, que têm sido utilizados com êxito para estudar o efeito de que os factores exógenos, tais como as neurotrofinas exercer sobre a mielinização do SNC in vitro 5,6. Factores exógenos, tais como factores de crescimento ou inibidores farmacológicos de moléculas pequenas têm sido amplamente utilizado para estudar o papel das vias de sinalização na mielinização DRG utilizando o modelo de co-cultura OPC-7,9. No entanto, nas configurações mistos de co-cultura que contêm ambos os neurónios e os oligodendrócitos, manteve-se formalmente possível que ambos os factores de crescimento ou a farmacovigilâninibidores macological poderiam ter exercido efeitos sobre ambos os neurônios e oligodendrócitos (OL) DRG. Esta não oferecem a capacidade de dissecar especificamente os papéis que as proteínas expressas apenas por DRGs ou oligodendroglia exerce sobre mielinização usando este sistema de célula dual. Para confirmar inequivocamente que a via de sinalização em oligodendroglial regula directamente a mielinização, transdução lentiviral de OPCs, antes da semeadura sobre neurónios DRG para o ensaio de mielinização in vitro, provou ser uma maneira elegante para sobre-expressar tanto o tipo selvagem e as proteínas mutantes, assim como knockdown expressão de proteínas expressas constitutivamente por oligodendrócitos. Assim, esta abordagem oferece uma avenida para interrogar especificamente e manipular as vias de sinalização dentro oligodendrócitos para estudar myelination 9,10. Neste artigo, apresentamos métodos que desenvolvemos para superexpressão de uma proteína de interesse seletivamente em oligodendrócitos através de um lentivírusabordagem para estudar a mielinização in vitro. A técnica começa com a geração de vectores de expressão contendo o gene de interesse, quer seja numa tipo selvagem, forma constitutivamente activa ou negativo dominante, que são então subsequentemente clonado no vector pENTR (pENTR L1-L2 pENTR4IRES2GFP). Este vector (contendo o gene de interesse), o promotor de CMV dador (pENTR L4-R1-pENTR pDNOR-CMV) e lentivector 2K7 são combinados numa reacção de enzima para produzir um vector de 2K7 contendo promotor de CMV, o gene de interesse, uma local interno de entrada ribossomal e GFP (Figura 1). Este constructo gateway 2K7 clonado combinado com o envelope do vírus, e o pacote PMD2.G vírus pBR8.91 podem ser co-transfectados em células HEK293T para gerar lentivírus que pode subsequentemente ser utilizado para transduzir OPCs. Uma vez infectadas com lentivírus os OPCs expressam um alto nível da proteína de interesse. Estes OPCs podem então ser semeadas em culturas de neurônios DRG eo efeito que a expressãode níveis elevados da proteína desejada exerce sobre a mielinização pode ser interrogada. As co-culturas são avaliadas para a expressão da proteína de mielina por análise Western blot e visualizados para a formação de segmentos axonais mielinizadas por imunocitoquímica.

production and use of lentivirus to selectively transduce primary oligodendrocyte precursor cells for in vitro myelination assays

Mielinização é um processo complexo que envolve ambos os neurónios e as células formadoras de mielina da glia, oligodendrócitos no sistema nervoso central (SNC) e células de Schwann no sistema nervoso periférico (SNP). Usamos um ensaio in vitro mielinização, um modelo estabelecido para o estudo da mielinização do SNC in vitro. Para fazer isso, as células precursoras de oligodendrócitos (OPCs) são adicionados aos gânglio da raiz primária roedor dorsal (DRG) neurónios purificados para formar myelinating co-culturas. A fim de interrogar especificamente os papéis que determinadas proteínas expressas pelos oligodendrócitos exercer sobre mielinização nós desenvolvemos protocolos que transduzem seletivamente OPCs usando o lentivírus overexpressing tipo selvagem, proteínas negativas constitutivamente ativos ou dominantes antes de serem semeadas em neurônios do GRD. Isso nos permite interrogar especificamente as funções destas proteínas na regulação oligodendrogliais mielinização. Os protocolos podem também ser aplicado no estudo de otos tipos de células, proporcionando assim uma abordagem que permite a manipulação selectiva de proteínas expressas por um tipo de célula desejado, tais como oligodendrócitos orientada para o estudo de mecanismos de sinalização e de compensação. Em conclusão, a combinação de ensaio in vitro com a mielinização lentivirais infectados OPCs fornece uma ferramenta estratégica para a análise dos mecanismos moleculares envolvidos na mielinização.

O marcado com bandeira extracelular quinase 1 (Flag-Erk1) relacionado com o sinal de constructo utilizado para a produção de lentivírus é verificada por digestão com enzimas de restrição das construções usadas, incluindo tanto as construções 2K7 e as construções de empacotamento e acessórias necessárias para produção de vírus (Figura 3) . <img alt="Figura 3" src="/files/ftp_upload/52179/52179fig3highres.jpg" /> <st...
