Uso de virus para estudiar circuitos neuronales es un método de rendimiento relativamente alto de analizar neuronas conectadas. Sin embargo, generar tanto VSV y viriones RABV no es trivial. Aunque el protocolo enumerados anteriormente para el virus de rescate a partir de ADNc se proporciona, todavía es un evento de baja probabilidad. Los niveles de cada uno de los N, P, L y plásmidos necesitan ser ajustado con precisión, ya que muchos ensayos y replica necesita hacer para asegurar rescate viral. La formación de la ...

viral tracing of genetically defined neural circuitry

Los métodos clásicos para el estudio de los circuitos neuronales están rendimiento bastante bajo. Transsynaptic virus, particularmente la pseudorrabia (PRV) y virus de la rabia (RABV), y más recientemente virus de la estomatitis vesicular (VSV), para el estudio de circuitos, es cada vez más popular. Estos métodos de rendimiento más altos utilizan virus que transmiten entre las neuronas, ya sea en la dirección anterógrada o retrógrada. Recientemente, un RABV modificado para monosináptico retrógrada rastreo fue desarrollado. (Figura 1A). En este método, la glicoproteína (G) de genes se elimina del genoma viral, y reabastecidos sólo en las neuronas específicas. Especificidad infección se logra mediante la sustitución de una G quimérico, formado por el dominio extracelular de la glicoproteína ASLV-A y el dominio citoplásmico de la RABV-G (A / RG), para el normal RABV-G 1. Este G quimérica específicamente infecta las células que expresan el receptor TVA 1. El gen que codifica TVA puede sido delivered por diversos métodos 2-8. Tras RABV-G infección de una neurona TVA-expresando, el RABV puede transmitir a otras neuronas, conectadas sinápticamente en una dirección retrógrada por la naturaleza de su propio G que fue cosuministrado con el receptor de TVA. Esta técnica etiqueta un número relativamente grande de entradas (5-10%) 2 en un tipo celular definido, proporcionando un muestreo de todas las entradas en un tipo de célula de arranque definido. Recientemente hemos modificado esta técnica a utilizar VSV como un trazador transsynaptic 9. VSV tiene varias ventajas, incluyendo la rapidez de la expresión génica. A continuación detallamos un nuevo sistema de rastreo viral utilizando útiles para sondear microcircuitos con mayor resolución VSV. Mientras que las estrategias original publicado por Wickersham et al. 4 y Beier et al. 9 permiso de etiquetado de cualquier neuronas que se proyectan hacia inicialmente infectado-TVA-expresando células, aquí VSV fue diseñado para transmitir sólo a TVCélulas que expresan A-(Figura 1B). El virus es primero pseudotyped con RABV-G para permitir la infección de aguas abajo de las neuronas que expresan TVA neuronas. Después de infectar esta primera población de células, el virus liberado sólo pueden infectar células que expresan TVA. Debido a la propagación viral transsynaptic se limita a las células que expresan TVA, la presencia de ausencia de la conectividad de los tipos de células definidos pueden ser explorados con alta resolución. Un diagrama de flujo experimental de estos experimentos se muestra en la Figura 2. Aquí se muestra un circuito de modelo, el de la dirección de selectividad en la retina del ratón. Se examina la conectividad de las células amacrinas starburst (ZEC) a las células ganglionares de la retina (CGR).
