En los ratones con EAE, los dos métodos más comunes de medición de déficit motor son puntuación clínica y latencia caigan un rotarod27,28. Estas técnicas tienen varias limitaciones. Aunque conveniente y ampliamente utilizado, puntuación clínica está limitada por la obtención de datos de nivel ordinales sólo, lo que significa que no se conoce la magnitud de las diferencias entre puntuaciones clínicas. Puntuación clínica también sufre de ser incapac...

Andar es una serie de movimientos repetitivos de las extremidades que utilizan para alcanzar la locomoción. Marcha se compone de ciclos de paso, que se dividen en dos fases: la fase de apoyo, que es cuando el pie se mueve hacia atrás en el suelo para propulsar el cuerpo remite; y la fase de oscilación, donde el pie es de la tierra y movimiento remite. Disturbios de la marcha son seña de identidad de muchos trastornos neurodegenerativos, como la lesión de la médula espinal (SCI), esclerosis múltiple (EM), esclerosis lateral amiotrófica (ELA), enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) y accidente cerebrovascular; modelos preclínicos de roedores de estos trastornos a menudo recapitulan su marcha respectivas deficiencias1. Los mecanismos de control básico de la locomoción en ratones han sido intensamente estudiados2,3. Además, hay modelos de ratón de muchos trastornos neurológicos humanos4. Análisis de la marcha en ratones es un enfoque atractivo para medir múltiples aspectos del déficit motor que ha sabido correlatos anatómicos. El estudio de la marcha en modelos de ratón puede proporcionar penetraciones en las bases de neuropathological del déficit locomotor en trastornos neurodegenerativos y permitir la identificación de potenciales tratamientos.
Algunas técnicas que se han utilizado para medir el paso de roedores incluyen inspección visual (por ejemplo, el Basso ratón escala5 y prueba de campo abierto6) y análisis de la marcha de la ventral plano7. Más recientemente, métodos para medir el plano sagital cinemática de los movimientos del miembro posterior han ganado popularidad porque ofrecen más información sobre la ejecución del movimiento y por lo tanto son más sensibles a cambios sutiles en el paso8, 9 , 10 , 11. técnicas de cinemática para estudiar trasera movimiento en plano sagital mientras camina en una cinta de correr9,12 se han estudiado ampliamente en el contexto de SCI, ALS, lesiones traumáticas corticales, tiempos, y La enfermedad de Huntington8,9,10,11,13,14,15,16. Por el contrario, estas técnicas han visto uso limitado en el estudio del aparato locomotor déficit para los modelos de ratón de esclerosis múltiple17.
Encefalomielitis autoinmune experimental (EAE) es el modelo de ratón más comúnmente utilizado de MS18. Los dos principales métodos de inducir EAE es a través de la inoculación activa o pasiva. En EAE activo, ratones están inmunizados con antígenos de la mielina, que causa neuroinflamación mediada por células T autorreactivas y desmielinización en la médula espinal y cerebelo. EAE pasivo, por el contrario, es inducida por transferencia de células autorreactivas T de un ratón con EAE activa a un ingenuo ratón19. Como se describe en otra parte, el curso de la enfermedad y la neuropatología son influenciados por los antígenos del sistema nervioso central (SNC) y ratón cepa20,21,22,23,24 ,25. En experimentos EAE, control de ratones se inyectan con completa adyuvante de Freund (CFA) sin los antígenos de la mielina. EAE se caracteriza por parálisis que comienza con la debilidad de la cola y puede potencialmente implicar los miembros anteriores, ascendente dando por resultado parálisis y ataxia20. Hemos caracterizado recientemente cambios en la marcha en ratones C57Bl/6 sometidos a glicoproteína del oligodendrocyte del myelin (MOG35-55) 35-55-inducida por EAE. Estos estudios han demostrado ser superior que el análisis del comportamiento clásico porque las desviaciones del movimiento normal de tobillo están altamente correlacionadas con el grado de pérdida de materia blanca en la médula espinal lumbar de EAE ratones26análisis de la marcha. Por el contrario, la fuerza de la correlación entre la pérdida de materia blanca y dos otros comportamiento medidas tradicionales (puntuación clínica y rotarod) era mucho más débil26.
Aquí describimos el uso del análisis cinemático de la marcha para detectar déficit de movimiento en el plano sagital de los ratones EAE caminando en una cinta rodante. Cinco marcadores reflectantes se colocaron en una trasera para identificar el movimiento de la cadera, rodilla y articulaciones de tobillo en grabaciones de vídeo de alta velocidad. Software de análisis de movimiento se utiliza para extraer datos cinemáticos sobre excursiones conjuntas. Se discuten la utilidad de estas técnicas para cuantificar el déficit de movimiento para el modelo de35-55 MOG de EAE. Estas técnicas también son aplicables al estudio de los déficits de andar en otros modelos murinos de enfermedades neurodegenerativas.

sagittal plane kinematic gait analysis in c57bl/6 mice subjected to mog35-55 induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Análisis de la cinemática de la marcha en el plano sagital se ha utilizado con frecuencia para caracterizar el déficit motor en esclerosis múltiple (EM). Se describe la aplicación de estas técnicas para identificar los déficits de la marcha en un modelo murino de MS, conocida como encefalomielitis autoinmune experimental (EAE). Déficit motor y parálisis en los ratones sometidos a EAE normalmente se evalúan mediante una escala de puntuación clínica. Sin embargo, esta escala da solamente los datos ordinales que proporciona poca información sobre la naturaleza precisa del déficit motor. Severidad de la enfermedad EAE también ha sido evaluado por rotarod rendimiento, que proporciona una medida de coordinación motora general. Por el contrario, el análisis cinemático de la marcha de las extremidades en el plano sagital genera información muy precisa acerca de cómo se deteriora el movimiento. Para realizar este procedimiento, se colocan marcadores reflectantes en un extremidades para detectar el movimiento articular mientras que un ratón es caminar en una caminadora. Software de análisis de movimiento se utiliza para medir el movimiento de los marcadores durante la marcha. Parámetros cinemáticos de la marcha luego se derivan de los datos resultantes.

Sagittal Plane Kinematic Gait Analysis in C57BL/6 Mice Subjected to MOG35-55 Induced Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

Análisis cinemático de la marcha de plano sagital en ratones C57BL/6 sometidos a MOG35-55 inducida por encefalomielitis Autoinmune Experimental

Análisis de la cinemática de la marcha en el plano sagital obtiene información muy precisa acerca de cómo se ejecuta el movimiento. Se describe la aplicación de estas técnicas para identificar los déficits de marcha para los ratones sometidos a desmielinización autoinmune mediada. Estos métodos pueden usarse para caracterizar los déficits de paso para otros modelos de ratón con locomoción deteriorada.

Kinematic gait analysis in the sagittal plane has frequently been used to characterize motor deficits in multiple sclerosis (MS). We describe the ...

The overall goal of this procedure is to measure functional motor impairments in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis or EAE, mouse model multiple sclerosis using kinematic gait analysis. The application of kinematic gait analysis to mouse-walking behavior has been previously established and described by others. Neurological deficits in an EAE result from neural inflammation and sporadic white matter loss throughout the spinal cord and the cerebellum.Traditionally, motor stability in EAE mice has been assessed using clinical scoring systems, in which mice are assigned a clinical score based on the observer's impression of the severity of motor deficits. Data from clinical scores are ordinal and do not correlate well with the spinal cord histopathology. Kinematic gait analysis has recently been shown to be a better behavioral correlate of white matter loss than clinical scores, in addition to providing an objective description of walking deficits in the EAE mice.This technique involves placing reflective markers on the high limbs of mice and allowing them to walk on a treadmill while being recorded with a high-speed camera. Kinematic parameters are then extracted from the video using motion analysis software. The first step is to make the markers that will be placed on the animal's hind leg.The reflection of light off of these markers allows the coordinates of anatomical points on the leg to be extracted from the videos. To begin, punch the desired number of circles from the sheet of reflective paper. Each mouse requires five markers per recording, two large and three small.Using fine scissors, make a cut extending from the perimeter to the center of the circle. Peel off the paper backing to reveal the adhesive surface using fine forceps. Grip the marker with forceps and using your finger, roll the marker in on itself to form a cone.To make a small marker, make a longer cut and curl the cone more tightly. To make a large marker, make a shorter cut and curl the cone more loosely. Using a hot glue gun, fill the inside of the cone with glue and adhere it to a piece of cardboard.It is important to fully fill the marker with glue to prevent the marker from collapsing when handling during recording. Once the glue is dry, cut the marker off using a scalpel. Ensure that you cut away from your body.The next step is to prepare the animal for recording. To do this, the reflective markers must be adhered to the hind limb of the mouse at the proper anatomical locations. This is conducted under light anesthesia.Place the mouse in an induction chamber and anesthetize with 2.5%isoflurane. Once unconscious, transfer the mouse from the induction chamber to a nose cone or a recirculating water heating pad. Apply a topical lubricant to both eyes.Shave the desired hind limb extending from the ankle to the spine and the bottom of the ribs. In this demonstration, we are recoding movements of the right hind limb, but either or both limbs may be used. Locate the iliac crest by bringing both knees together with your thumb and forefinger and palpating just below the ribs.Mark this location using a permanent marker. Locate the hip by extending the leg and moving it back and forth. Place a marker over the hip joint, which is the point of articulation between the head of the femur and the pelvis.Using a flexible ruler, measure and record the length of the tibia or shank of the mouse. Measure and record the length of the femur or thigh as well. To isolate the fourth toe for marker placement, tape down the rest of the foot.Grasp a small marker with forceps and dip the flat end in glue. Place the small marker on the tip of the fourth toe. Place another small marker on the metatarsophalangeal joint.Place the last small marker on the ankle. Place a large marker on the hip joint directly over the mark on the skin. Place the second large marker on the mark over the iliac crest.Remove the tape from the foot. Place the mouse in a recovery cage and transport immediately to the gait recording room. The next step is recording the mouse walking on a treadmill.This picture is of our treadmill recording setup, showing the light, high-speed camera, and treadmill. Prior to recording the mouse's gait, take a picture of a calibration block with known dimensions on the treadmill. This will allow the pixels in the video to be converted to real measurements.It is critical that the camera angle and position at which the calibration picture is taken remains the same during the recording of walking behavior. Place the mouse in the treadmill. Increase the treadmill's speed gradually to orient the mouse in the correct direction.Slowly accelerate to 20 centimeters per second, which is the ideal running speed for obtaining recordings of steady gait. For accurate analysis, it's best to record eight to 12 step cycles of steady walking behavior. This is an example of consistent walking.The following is the same video shown at half speed. Because mice walk so quickly, it can be useful to view the videos at slower speeds to count step cycles and to better appreciate the gait pattern. This is one example of an EAE mouse walking on the treadmill.This mouse is unable to support its body weight as its pelvis is very low to the ground. Additionally, it is having difficulty lifting its foot off the ground during the swing phase. This is an example of another EAE mouse that has less severe motor deficits.The EAE mouse is walking on its toes with reduced movement at the ankle joint. This gives the mouse an uneven gait. The following are examples of behaviors that will compound analysis.Recordings, including these behaviors, should not be used. Lagging occurs when the mouse stops walking and travels to the back of the treadmill, but then resumes walking. This may occur in any mouse, but will occur more frequently at lower speeds.Rearing occurs when the mouse shifts its weight on its back hind limbs and raises its head and upper body. This behavior is common in anxious mice. The following are examples of poor lighting that will lead to issues with analysis of the markers'position in time and space.If the lighting is too dim, markers may not reflect enough light to be recognized by the computer software. In this video, the toe markers are not easily visible due to insufficient lighting. If the lighting is too bright, objects other than the markers may reflect too much light and be recognized as a marker.In this video, the toe markers appear to be merging with the reflective parts of the treadmill. Data from the reflective markers on mice walking can be used to create stick models of the leg from which kinematic parameters can be extracted. This is a recording of a mouse walking with a stick model of the leg superimposed.Note that in this video, there is a sixth marker on the knee, which is not necessary because the location of the knee can be triangulated from the positions of the hip and ankle joints, and the measured lengths of the femur and tibia. Because markers over the knee joint are often inaccurate due to skin slippage, triangulation is the preferred method. A mouse's step cycle can be divided into two main phases.The stance phase and the swing phase. This stick diagram can be used to qualitatively illustrate the movement of the hind limb in time and space. An example of this could be to assess the movement of the hind limb at different times points throughout the study.This example shows that the hind leg is compressed during the stance phase, indicating that the mouse has difficulty supporting its body weight. This is reflected by increased flexion of the knee and ankle joints. At the later time point, this has partially recovered.This video illustrates the relationship between the walking behavior and joint angles over time. The hip, knee, and ankle angle waveforms can be extracted from each recording. The joint angles can then be averaged over eight to 12 consecutive step cycles, resulting in an average step cycle that can be used for further analysis.This graph represents a knee joint waveform averaging from 10 consecutive step cycles. The data has been normalized, so that the length of the stance and swing phases are 100 frames respectively. The clear background represents the swing phase and the green background represents the stance phase.For this mouse, the walking behavior from week to week was very consistent and the step-cycle waveforms from each week overlapped considerably. However, there can also be substantial variability in gait in healthy mice as seen in this graph. The degree of variability shown here is acceptable and within the range of what might be expected from a mouse.This graph represents the knee step cycle from the EAE mouse recorded on three consecutive weeks. There is a slight change in the shape of the step cycle at week two and a substantial deviation by week three, which the mouse's knee is much more flexed and does not extend during walking. There are numerous parameters that can be measured using this technique.We'll briefly describe three. The average angle is obtained by averaging all angles throughout the normalized step cycle. In this instance, the average angle decreases throughout the study, suggesting that the mice are not extending their knees as much as normal.The range of motion is obtained by subtracting the smallest angle from the largest angle in the normalized step cycle. This parameter can give you insight into joint flexibility, rigidity, or weakness. In this example, the knee range of motion decreases throughout the study indicating that the mice are not able to move their knee normally, possibly due to muscle weakness.Root-Mean-Square difference is a method used to measure deviation of step-cycle waveforms from the baseline recording. This parameter tells you how much deviation there is from the initial recording. Kinematic gait analysis is a valuable technique that can be used to sensitively detect and describe changes in gait.The application of kinematic gait analysis to EAE studies may be a valuable tool in understanding the functional consequences of spinal cord pathology in this model. It may facilitate discovery of novel treatments for multiple sclerosis. Additionally, kinematic gait analysis is not limited to the context of EAE.This technique has previously been used in mouse models with spinal cord injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease and stroke, and can be applied to other mouse models with neurological disorders, including Parkinson's disease.
