I dette manuskriptet beskrives en protokoll for evaluering av intra- og ekstracellulære responser på selektivt aktiverte afferente veier i ex vivo hjerneskiver.
Bruken av optogenetiske verktøy og parallelle opptaksordninger gjør det mulig for etterforskere å undersøke responser fra lokale populasjoner til afferente innganger fra fjerne hjernegrupper, samtidig som de registreres fra målrettede populasjoner av interneuroner. Bruken av optogenetisk teknologi gjør det mulig å bevare og ak...

Flyktige anestetika har blitt brukt allestedsnærværende i en rekke kliniske og akademiske innstillinger i mer enn et århundre. Distinkte klasser av anestetika har unike, ofte ikke-overlappende molekylære mål 1,2,3, men nesten alle produserer bevisstløshet. Mens deres atferdsmessige effekter er ganske forutsigbare, er mekanismene som anestetika induserer bevissthetstap stort sett ukjente. Anestesi kan i siste instans påvirke både bevissthetens nivå og innhold via handlinger på kortikothalamiske kretser, forstyrre integrering av informasjon i hele det kortikale hierarkiet 4,5,6,7,8,9. Mer generelt kan modulering av kortikothalamiske kretser spille en rolle i eksperimentelt 10 eller farmakologisk11 endrede bevissthetstilstander, og kan også være involvert i søvn 12 og i patofysiologiske bevissthetsforstyrrelser13,14.
Unnvikelsen av mekanismene som ligger til grunn for tap og retur av bevissthet under anestesi kan delvis tilskrives ikke-lineære, synergistiske virkninger av anestetika på mobil-, nettverks- og systemnivå15. Isofluran undertrykker for eksempel aktivitet innenfor de utvalgte hjernegruppene 16,17,18, svekker forbindelsen mellom fjerne hjernegrupper 19,20,21,22,23, og reduserer synaptiske responser på en banespesifikk måte 24,25 . Hvilke effekter av anestetika, fra molekylært til systemnivå, som er nødvendige eller tilstrekkelige for å påvirke bevissthetstap, er fortsatt uklart. I tillegg til materielle kliniske undersøkelser av bevissthet ved hjelp av ikke-invasive teknikker 19,20,26, er det viktig at eksperimentalister søker å disentangle de distinkte mobil- og nettverksinteraksjonene som underordner den bevisste opplevelsen.
Ved å forenkle de komplekse interaksjonene som finnes i den intakte hjernen, tillater ex vivo hjerneskiver studiet av isolerte komponenter i hjernens dynamiske systemer9. Et redusert skivepreparat kombinerer fordelene med relativt intakte anatomiske strukturer av lokale nevrale kretser med allsidigheten til in vitro-manipulasjoner. Imidlertid har metodologiske begrensninger inntil nylig utelukket studiet av synaptiske og kretsegenskaper av langdistanseinnganger i hjerneskiver27,28; Den tortuøse banen til kortikothalamiske fiberkanaler gjorde aktivering av uavhengige afferente veier nesten umulig ved elektrisk stimulering.
Å undersøke effekten av bedøvelsesmidler på hjerneskivepreparatene gir ytterligere utfordringer. I fravær av intakt respirasjons- og sirkulasjonssystem, må bedøvelsesmidler påføres bad, og konsentrasjonene må nøye tilpasses estimerte konsentrasjoner på effektstedet. For mange intravenøse bedøvelsesmidler gjør den langsomme likevektshastigheten i vevet tradisjonelle farmakologiske undersøkelser arbeidskrevende29,30. Å undersøke effektene av flyktige gassbedøvelsesmidler i ex vivo-preparater er mer trekkbar, men gir også utfordringer. Disse inkluderer konvertering av inhalerte partialtrykksdoser til vandige konsentrasjoner, og behovet for et modifisert leveringssystem av legemidlet til vevet via kunstig cerebral spinalvæske31.
Her beskrives metoder der forskere kan utnytte de veldokumenterte fysisk-kjemiske egenskapene til det flyktige bedøvelsesmiddelet isofluran for legemiddellevering til ex vivo hjerneskiver, aktivere vei- og lagspesifikke innganger til et kortikalt interesseområde med høy spatiotemporal oppløsning, og gjennomføre samtidige laminære opptak og målrettede patchklemmeopptak fra utvalgte populasjoner av nevroner. Kombinert tillater disse prosedyrene etterforskere å måle flyktige bedøvelsesinduserte endringer i flere observerbare elektrofysiologiske responsegenskaper, fra synaptisk til lokalt nettverksnivå.

optogenetic activation of afferent pathways in brain slices and modulation of responses by volatile anesthetics

Anestesi påvirker bevisstheten delvis via deres handlinger på thalamokortiske kretser. Imidlertid er det uklart i hvilken grad flyktige anestetika påvirker forskjellige cellulære og nettverkskomponenter i disse kretsene. Ex vivo hjerneskiver gir et middel som etterforskere kan undersøke diskrete komponenter i komplekse nettverk og disentangle potensielle mekanismer som ligger til grunn for effekten av flyktige anestetika på fremkalte responser. For å isolere potensielle celletype- og veispesifikke legemiddeleffekter i hjerneskiver, må etterforskere uavhengig kunne aktivere afferente fiberveier, identifisere ikke-overlappende populasjoner av celler og anvende flyktige anestetika til vevet i vandig løsning. I denne protokollen beskrives metoder for å måle optogenetisk fremkalte responser på to uavhengige afferente veier til neocortex i ex vivo hjerneskiver. Ekstracellulær respons registreres for å analysere nettverksaktivitet, og målrettede opptak av helcelleplaster utføres i somatostatin- og parvalbuminpositive internevroner. Levering av fysiologisk relevante konsentrasjoner av isofluran via kunstig cerebral spinalvæske for å modulere celle- og nettverksresponser er beskrevet.

En tidslinje med trinn beskrevet i protokollen er vist i figur 1. Kortikale innganger som kommer fra høyere ordens kortikale områder eller fra ikke-primære thalamiske kjerner har delvis overlappende terminalfelt i lag 1 av ikke-primær visuell cortex24. For å isolere uavhengige thalamokortikale eller kortikokortikale afferenteveier ble det injisert en viral vektor som inneholdt ChR2 og en eYFP fluorescerende reporter i enten Po eller Cg. Celler innenfor injeksjons...

Optogenetic Activation of Afferent Pathways in Brain Slices and Modulation of Responses by Volatile Anesthetics

Ex vivo hjerneskiver kan brukes til å studere effekten av flyktige anestetika på fremkalte responser på afferente innganger. Optogenetikk brukes til uavhengig aktivering av thalamokortikale og kortikokortikale afferenter til ikke-primær neocortex, og synaptiske og nettverksresponser moduleres med isofluran.
