[Abstract]  Site-specific lesions are invaluable methods for investigating the function of brain regions within the central nervous system and can be used to study neural mechanisms of behaviors. Precise stereotaxic surgery is required to lesion small regions of the brain such as the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which harbors the master circadian clock. In this protocol, we describe stereotaxic surgery optimized for bilateral lesion of the mouse SCN by loading electric current. Success of the SCN lesion is verified histologically and behaviorally by monitoring arrhythmic locomotor activity. The SCN-lesioned mouse allows for the evaluation of behavioral, biochemical, and physiological consequences of ablation of the master circadian clock. [摘要]  位点特异性病变是调查中枢神经系统中脑区功能的有价值的方法,可用于研究神经行为机制。 需要精确的立体定位手术来对大脑的小区域进行损伤,例如含有主昼夜节律钟的视交叉上核(SCN)。 在本协议中,我们介绍了通过加载电流优化小鼠SCN双侧病变的立体定位手术。 通过监测心律失常运动活动,组织学和行为学验证了SCN病变的成功。 SCN损伤的小鼠允许评估主昼夜节律钟的消融的行为,生化和生理后果。
【背景】视交叉上核(SCN)是哺乳动物脑下丘脑内的一个小区域。它位于视交叉的两侧,包含约20,000个神经元。 SCN被称为主昼夜节律振荡器(时钟)的位置,并且与亮 - 暗循环同步所需。 SCN的消融是评估主昼夜节律钟的生理影响的有用策略。
与通过病毒注射或SCN特异性启动子的基因修饰相比,SCN的电解损伤具有能够快速和局部消除主昼夜节律钟的优点。通过Nissl染色手术后可以通过电脉冲定位病变,手术后一天可以开始监测活动节律。此外,通过施用化学物质的病变通常导致非特异性损伤,因此其不像电脉冲的损伤那样精确,特别是对于诸如SCN的小靶标。因此,该协议提供了一个有用的策略来评估主昼夜节律钟的效果(输出)。

[Abstract]  Inositol triphosphate (IP3) is an important second messenger that participates in signal transduction pathways in diverse cell types including hippocampal neurons. Stimulation of phospholipase C in response to various stimuli (hormones, growth factors, neurotransmitters, neurotrophins, neuromodulators, odorants, light, etc.) results in hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate (PIP2), a phospholipid that is located in the plasma membrane, and leads to the production of IP3 and diacylglycerol. Binding of IP3 to the IP3 receptor (IP3R) induces Ca2+ release from intracellular stores and enables the initiation of intracellular Ca2+-dependent signaling. Here we describe a procedure for ... [摘要]  肌醇三磷酸(IP3)是参与信号转导途径的重要的第二信使,包括海马神经元在内的不同细胞类型。 刺激磷脂酶C对各种刺激(激素,生长因子,神经递质,神经营养因子,神经调节剂,气味剂,光等)的反应导致磷脂酰肌醇4,5-二磷酸(PIP2)的水解,磷脂位于质膜 ,并导致IP3和二酰基甘油的生产。 IP3与IP3受体(IP3R)的结合诱导Ca2 +从细胞内储存释放,并使细胞内Ca2 +依赖信号的启动。 在这里,我们描述了从大鼠海马切片制备的组织匀浆中测量细胞IP3水平的程序。
