Stereotaxic Adeno-associated Virus Injection and Cannula Implantation in the Dorsal Raphe Nucleus of Mice

[Abstract]  Optogenetic methods are now widespread in neuroscience research. Here we present a detailed surgical procedure to inject adeno-associated viruses and implant optic fiber cannulas in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) of living mice. Combined with transgenic mouse lines, this protocol allows specific targeting of serotonin-producing neurons in the brain. It includes fixing a mouse in a stereotaxic frame, performing a craniotomy, virus injection and fiber implantation. Animals can be later used in behavioral experiments, combined with optogenetic manipulations (Dugué et al., 2014; Correia et al., 2017) or monitoring of neuronal activity (Matias et al., 2017).

The described procedure is a fundamental step in both optogenetic and fiber photometry experiments ...
[摘要]  光神学研究现在广泛存在。在这里,我们提供一个详细的外科手术,以注射腺相关病毒和植入光纤插管在活的小鼠背侧核心(DRN)。结合转基因小鼠系,该方案允许在脑中特异性靶向产生5-羟色胺的神经元。它包括将鼠标固定在立体定位框架中,执行开颅手术,病毒注射和纤维植入。动物可以随后用于行为实验,结合光遗传操作(Dugué等,2014; Correia等,2017)或监测神经元活动(Matias等,2017)。
  所描述的程序是深部脑区域的光生和光纤测光实验中的基本步骤。它针对DRN中的血清素神经元进行了优化,但可以应用于任何其他细胞类型和脑区域。当使用表达功能相关水平的光遗传工具或报告物系的转基因小鼠品系时,可以跳过病毒注射步骤,并将该方案降低到插管植入程序。
【背景】随着光遗传学方法的出现,使用光纤和遗传编码的探针来操纵或监测大脑活动已迅速扩大。光致发光工具对于研究神经调节系统特别有用,因为它们通常以位于深部脑区域的神经元簇为特征,对多个脑区域进行长期和广泛的预测。先前已经针对脑中的不同区域描述了病毒注射和纤维插管植入(例如,腹侧被盖区域[Tsai等人,2009],基因座(Carter等,2010))。
  鉴于其深部解剖学位置在导管和上矢状窦下方,针对背侧核心核(DRN,血清素投影到前脑的主要来源)可能是复杂的。使用标准的外科手术可能导致大量出血和低成功率,导致样本量较小(Ranade和Mainen ...

[Abstract]  Left ventricular (LV) remodeling occurs in many patients after myocardial infarction (MI). LV remodeling is characterized by progressive ventricular dilatation and contractile dysfunction, consequently to cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and fibrosis. Despite reperfusion therapies, this pathophysiological process is the main cause of cardiac evolution toward heart failure. Moreover, the outcome of patients after MI is largely dependent on the initial cardiac injury. Thus, this is of major clinical interest to develop new pharmacological strategies to limit infarct size and prevent or reverse left ventricular remodeling. Such preclinical cardiovascular treatments are often tested in rodents. The rat model of myocardial infarction is commonly used. In this model, the permanent ligation of the left ... [摘要]  左心室(LV)重塑在心肌梗死(MI)后发生在许多患者中。 LV重塑的特征在于进行性心室扩张和收缩功能障碍,从而导致心肌细胞肥大和纤维化。尽管再灌注治疗,这种病理生理过程是心脏进入心力衰竭的主要原因。此外,MI后患者的结果主要取决于初始心脏损伤。因此,这是开发新的药理策略以限制梗死面积和防止或逆转左心室重塑的重大临床兴趣。这种临床前心血管治疗通常在啮齿动物中进行测试。通常使用大鼠心肌梗死模型。在该模型中,进行左前降支冠状动脉的永久性结扎(Bousquenaud等人,2013a)。
在用于这种手术技术和实验之后,操作者将需要每只大鼠从麻醉到大鼠恢复20分钟。
