Vi tackar Ekaterina Karelina för hjälp med soundtrack inspelning för video, Ivan Molotkov för 3D-animering och Dr Peter Blaesse för CAG-EGFP plasmid beredning. Arbetet har finansierats med bidrag från Centrum för internationellt personutbyte i Finland, Finska kulturfonden och Finlands Akademi.

1. Inledning Skapande av transgena djur är en kraftfull metod för undersökning av genfunktioner i levande djur 1 och för att reda ut sjukdomsmekanismen 2,3 samt för att manipulera egenskaper hos celler 4. Däremot är förfarandet ganska mödosamt, mycket tidskrävande och dyrt, vilket motiverar användning av alternativa metoder Gene Delivery såsom virus injektion 5, neonatal ventrikulär injektion med elektroporation 6 och i li...

Metoder för genterapi leverans till levande gnagare hjärnan är väl etablerade i livmodern elektroporering 7,8,11,12 och, mer nyligen, för efter födsel elektroporation 6. Men dessa metoder som bygger på intraventrikulära injektion av plasmid-DNA, som kan vara begränsande för flera tillämpningar. Till exempel tillåter dessa metoder inte är inriktade på celler i vissa områden i hjärnan som hippocampus, och inte heller transfektion av sådana icke-flyttande celltyper som kortik...

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

Skapande av transgena djur är en vanlig metod för att studera funktioner av en gen av intresse in vivo. Men många knockout eller transgena djur inte är livskraftiga i de fall där den modifierade genen uttrycks eller tas bort i hela organismen. Dessutom en rad kompensatoriska mekanismer gör det ofta svårt att tolka resultaten. Den kompensatoriska effekter kan lindras genom att antingen tajma genuttryck eller begränsa mängden transfekterade cellerna. Metoden för postnatal icke-ventrikulära mikroinjektion och in vivo elektroporering gör målstyrning av gener, siRNA eller färg molekyler direkt till en liten region av intresse hos nyfödda gnagare hjärnan. I motsats till konventionella ventrikulär injektionsteknik, kan denna metod transfektion av icke-flyttande celltyper. Djur transfekterade med hjälp av den metod som beskrivs här kan användas till exempel för två-photon in vivo imaging eller elektrofysiologiska experiment på akut hjärnan skivor.
