Ringraziamo Ekaterina Karelina per un aiuto con la registrazione colonna sonora per il video, Ivan Molotkov di animazione 3D e il Dr. Peter Blaesse per CAG-EGFP preparazione plasmide. Il lavoro è stato supportato anche da finanziamenti del Centro di Mobilità Internazionale della Finlandia, il finlandese della Fondazione Culturale e l&#39;Accademia di Finlandia.

1. Introduzione Creazione di animali transgenici è un potente metodo di indagine delle funzioni dei geni in animali vivi 1 e per il meccanismo di svelare la malattia 2,3 così come per manipolare le proprietà delle cellule 4. Tuttavia, la procedura è piuttosto laboriosa, estremamente lunga e costosa, così da giustificare l&#39;uso di metodi alternativi consegna del gene virale come l&#39;iniezione 5, iniezione ventricolare neonatale con elettropo...

Metodi di consegna del gene nel cervello dei roditori viventi sono ben stabiliti per elettroporazione in utero 7,8,11,12 e, più recentemente, per l&#39;elettroporazione postnatale 6. Tuttavia, questi metodi si basano su iniezione intraventricolare del DNA plasmide, che può essere limitante per diverse applicazioni. Per esempio, questi metodi non consentono targeting cellule in alcune aree cerebrali quali l&#39;ippocampo, né la transfezione di questi non-migratori tipi di cellule come as...

gene delivery to postnatal rat brain by non-ventricular plasmid injection and electroporation

Creazione di animali transgenici è un approccio standard per studiare le funzioni di un gene di interesse in vivo. Tuttavia, molti knockout o animali transgenici non sono sostenibili a quei casi in cui viene espresso il gene modificato o cancellato in tutto l&#39;organismo. Inoltre, una varietà di meccanismi di compenso spesso rendono difficile l&#39;interpretazione dei risultati. Gli effetti di compensazione può essere alleviato con tempismo sia l&#39;espressione genica o limitando la quantità di cellule transfettate. Il metodo di postnatale non-ventricolare microiniezione e elettroporazione in vivo permette somministrazione mirata di geni, molecole di colorante siRNA o direttamente a una piccola regione di interesse nel cervello dei roditori neonato. In contrasto con tecnica convenzionale iniezione ventricolare, questo metodo permette di trasfezione di non-migratori tipi di cellule. Animali trasfettate mediante il metodo descritto qui può essere utilizzato, ad esempio, per i due fotoni imaging in vivo o in esperimenti elettrofisiologici su sezioni di cervello acuto.
