Der er flere vigtige parametre, der skal kontrolleres omhyggeligt for konsekvent succesfulde transfektioner 10,11. Den mest kritiske parameter for calciumphosphat-transfektion er pH-værdien af ​​2x HBS, som i vore hænder normalt varierer mellem 7,10-7,15. Vi anbefaler at tre partier af aktier med pH-værdier på 0,05 intervaller at tage højde for forskellen mellem pH meter. Alternativt Ciontech pattedyr transfektion kit giver 2x HBS, der konsekvent giver god effektivitet. Husk på, at pH-værdien i opl...

Primære neuroner er en af ​​de sværeste celletyper til transfektion, som de er postmitotiske og er meget følsomme over for mikro-miljø ændringer. Der er fire almindeligt anvendte typer af fremgangsmåder til ekspression af eksogene gener og short hairpin RNA (shRNAs) i disse celler 1. Hver har sine egne fordele og ulemper. For eksempel er elektroporering normalt udføres på frisk isolerede neuroner 2, som celler skal overføres til kuvetter til transfektion. Virus infektion kan normalt opnå en meget høj effektivitet 3, men er mere arbejdskrævende og risikabelt for operatører. Mange lipidmedieret transfektionsreagenser er kommercielt tilgængelige, med varierende grader af succes i neuroner og forskellige niveauer af cytotoksicitet. Calciumphosphat-transfektion udgør en praktisk og økonomisk fremgangsmåde til indføring af fremmede gener i neuroner. Fremgangsmåden blev først anvendt til at indføre adenovirus DNA i mammale cells af Graham og Van Der Eb (1973) 4.. Transfektion blev udført ved at blande calciumchlorid med rekombinant DNA i en phosphatpuffer. Dette tillader dannelsen af DNA / calciumphosphatudfældninger som, når efterhånden faldt på et monolag af celler, holde sig til celleoverfladen, bliver taget op ved endocytose og endelig indtaste kernen 5.. Denne proces vil føre til ekspression af indførte fremmede gener i målcellen. Typiske effektiviteten af calciumphosphat-transfektion på mellem 0,5-5% 6-8. Men med omhyggelig optimering og konsekvent gennemførelse af forsøgsprotokollen, er det muligt at opnå en transfektionseffektivitet på næsten 50%. Her beskriver vi vores detaljerede protokol for caiciumphosphattransfektion af primære hippocampus neuroner, der er dyrket sammen med astrogliale celler i en sandwich-format 9.

calcium phosphate transfection of primary hippocampal neurons

Calciumphosphatpræcipitation er en praktisk og økonomisk fremgangsmåde til transfektion af dyrkede celler. Med optimering, er det muligt at anvende denne metode på svære at transficere celler som primære neuroner. Her beskriver vi vores detaljerede protokol for caiciumphosphattransfektion af hippocampus neuroner dyrket sammen med astrogliale celler.

Når de forskellige parametre for transfektion optimeres og kontrolleres omhyggeligt fra eksperiment til eksperiment, er det muligt at finde transfektionseffektiviteten på op til 50%. Figur 1 viser et felt af neuroner, der er transficeret med GFP på DIV4. Feltet indeholder i alt 28 neuroner, hvoraf 16 blev transfekteret. Dette svarer til en virkningsgrad på over 50%. Et udsnit af andre felter på samme dækglas viser den samlede effektivitet er omkring 50% (data ikke vist). Med astroglial cokultur sy...
