Summary

在这份报告中,我们描述了一种方法来粉碎小鼠坐骨神经。这种方法使用现成的止血钳和轻松,重现产生完整的坐骨神经。此外,我们描述了一种方法来准备适合分析坐骨神经后神经再生肌肉整个坐骑。

Abstract

再生周围神经系统(PNS)被广泛研究人类疾病的相关了解PNS的神经元,从而有可能阐明中枢神经系统再生1失败安装强大的再生反应。坐骨神经(axonotmesis)的是在啮齿类动物2周围神经损伤的最常见的车型之一。粉碎中断所有轴突,但雪旺氏细胞基部叶片,使再生的最佳3,4保留。这使得研究者,研究正是越来越轴突的互动能力与雪旺氏细胞和基底椎板4。大鼠一般都首选的动物模型实验神经压榨。它们被广泛使用,其损毁坐骨神经提供了一个合理的近似人类神经病变5,4。虽然在规模小于大鼠神经,鼠神经有许多相似的特质。但最重要的,谅解备忘录E型是由于转基因株系的广泛的可用性日益成为宝贵的,现在允许一个关键的单个分子神经再生6,7的详细解剖。此前研究者已经使用了多种方法来产生神经挤压或损伤,包括简单的直角钳,冷藏镊子,止血钳,血管钳,研究者设计的夹8,9,10,11,12。研究者还利用各种方法标记的损伤部位,包括缝合,碳粒子和荧光珠13,14,1。我们描述的方法来获取准确和持久性标志的使用罚款的止血钳和随后的碳爱恋标志着网站的爱恋现场1再现完整的坐骨神经。作为我们描述的坐骨神经过程的一部分,我们还包括肌肉整体的一个比较简单的方法安装,我们使用到随后量化再生。

Protocol

1。动物主题 1.1。治疗所有动物的程序应与本地机构的动物护理和伦理委员会的批准,并按照使用和卫生准则委员会和国家机构,采取措施以减少疼痛和不适。 我们的小鼠饲养温度控制在12小时的反向光明与黑暗周期条件下,而美联储鼠标议员和水随意。 对于成人再生的研究,老鼠应该是年龄至少6周时,坐骨神经进行。这个年龄段是超出修剪polyneural神经?…

Discussion

我们已经提出了一个方法来获取可靠完整的坐骨神经与精确标记的美眉现场。如前所述,坐骨神经是一种常见的周围神经损伤的小鼠和大鼠模型。虽然每个美眉的方法都有其优点和缺点,我们发现,这种方法产生一个完整的挤压,很容易被一个特殊的设备(如特殊夹具等)的最低标记。

粉碎方法

仪器用于小鼠坐骨神经的最常见的是5号直角钳。虽然它有可能…
