电癫痫 (ECS) 是一种电治疗严重抑郁症的实验动物模型。ECS 全球刺激海马活动, 导致突和突触可塑性。在这里, 我们描述的方法的 ECS 诱导大鼠和亚细胞分型的海马, 以检查癫痫诱导的变化, 突触蛋白。
Abstract
电癫痫 (ECS) 是一种实验动物模型的电治疗, 最有效的治疗严重抑郁症。在低死亡率和神经元死亡的挛癫痫的诱导下, 是一种广泛应用的筛选抗药物的模型。在这里, 我们描述一个 ECS 感应方法, 其中一个简短的55毫安电流是交付 0.5 s 到雄性大鼠 200-250 克重量通过耳夹电极。这种双边刺激产生的阶段 4-5 挛癫痫发作持续了大约十年代。在急性或慢性 ECS 停止后, 大多数老鼠恢复了与假 “无癫痫” 大鼠行为的区别。由于 ECS 在全球范围内提升了大脑活动, 它也被用来检测突触蛋白的活动依赖性的变化及其对突触强度的影响, 使用多种方法。特别是, 突触后密度 (PSD) 与西方印迹结合的亚细胞分馏允许在这个专门的突触结构中定量地测定突触蛋白的丰度。与以前的分馏方法相比, 需要大量的啮齿动物大脑, 我们这里描述了一个 small-scale 分离方法, 以隔离 PSD 从海马的单一大鼠, 没有蔗糖梯度离心。利用这种方法, 我们发现分离的 PSD 分数含有突触后的膜蛋白, 包括 PSD95、GluN2B 和 GluA2。前标记突和可溶性细胞质蛋白α-蛋白被排除在 psd 的分数, 表明成功的 psd 隔离。此外, 慢性 ECS 降低 GluN2B 表达在 psd, 表明我们的 small-scale psd 分馏方法可用于检测的变化, 海马 psd 蛋白从一大鼠后, 遗传, 药理, 或机械治疗.
Introduction
电疗法已被用于治疗抑郁症患者, 包括严重的耐药抑郁症, 双相抑郁症, 帕金森氏病和精神分裂症1,2。在这种治疗中, 癫痫发作是由电刺激传递给麻醉病人的头部通过 epicranial 电极1,2,3。重复性管理的 ECS 已临床有益的耐药抑郁症的疾病1,2,3。然而, 确切的机制的基础上长期疗效的抗抑郁药物的人仍然难以捉摸。ECS 是一种电治疗的动物模型, 广泛用于研究其治疗机制。在啮齿类动物中, 急性 ecs 和慢性 ecs 治疗促进了海马的成人神经发生, 并重组了神经元网络4,5, 这很可能有助于提高认知灵活性。此外, 全球范围内的大脑活动的提升改变了大量的成绩单, 如大脑衍生神经因子6, 和多种蛋白质, 包括代谢谷氨酸受体 17和 n-甲基-d-天门冬氨酸(NMDA) 型谷氨酸受体亚基7。这些变化涉及调解长期修改突触数, 结构和强度在海马7,8,9。
在 ECS 模型中, 通过 stereotaxically 植入电极、角膜电极或耳电极将电刺激传递给啮齿动物, 以唤起全身强直-挛发作10,11。立体定向植入电极涉及脑部手术, 需要很大的时间来提高实验者的手术技能, 以减少伤害。较少侵入性角膜电极可引起角膜磨损和干燥, 需要麻醉。耳夹电极的使用绕过这些限制, 因为它们可以用于啮齿目动物没有手术或麻醉, 并造成最小的伤害。事实上, 我们发现, 目前交付给清醒大鼠通过耳夹电极可靠地诱导阶段4-5 挛发作和改变突触蛋白在其海马10。
为了研究在啮齿动物的特定脑区内的突触蛋白诱导丰度, 选择最适合于它们的检测和定量的实验方法是非常重要的。亚细胞分馏的大脑允许的可溶性胞浆蛋白的粗分离;膜蛋白;细胞界限蛋白;甚至蛋白质的特殊亚细胞结构, 如 PSD12,13,14。PSD 是一个稠密和组织良好的亚细胞域的神经元, 其中突触蛋白高度集中在和附近的突触膜12,13,15。psd 的分离是有用的研究突触蛋白丰富的 psd, 因为动态变化的丰度和功能的突触后的谷氨酸受体, 支架蛋白, 信号转导蛋白在 psd12,15,16,17与突触可塑性和在几个神经紊乱中观察到的 synaptopathy 相关,17,18。以前的亚细胞分馏法用于纯化 PSD 涉及的蔗糖梯度的差异离心分离的洗涤剂不溶性分数从大脑的粗膜分数14,19. 这一传统方法的主要挑战是它需要大量的啮齿动物的大脑14,19。10-20 啮齿目动物的制备隔离 PSD 的每一次治疗需要大量的成本和时间的投资, 并没有实际可行的, 如果有很多的治疗。
为了克服这一挑战, 我们已经采用了一种简单的方法, 直接分离 psd 分数, 没有蔗糖梯度离心20,21, 并将其修改为适用于单鼠海马的 psd 隔离大脑.我们的 small-scale psd 分馏方法的产量约 30-50 µg 的 psd 蛋白从2海马, 足以用于几个生物化学的化验, 包括沉淀和西部印迹。西方印迹表明, 我们的方法成功地分离 PSD 通过揭示丰富的突触后密度蛋白 95 (PSD-95) 和排除前标记突和可溶性细胞质蛋白α蛋白。我们的 ecs 诱导和 small-scale psd 分馏方法很容易适应其他啮齿动物的脑区, 并提供了一个相对简单和可靠的方法来评价 ecs 对 psd 蛋白表达的影响。
