本文介绍了一种解剖嗜酸性粒体木偶视网膜的手术方法, 以及免疫组织化学、西方分析和 rna 提取组织处理的方案。
五食子性视网膜为研究发育过程中的形态发生过程提供了一个很好的模型系统。本文提出了一种可靠的方法来解剖娇嫩的酒糟体木偶视网膜。我们的手术方法利用现成的微解剖工具来打开小管, 精确地提取眼脑复合物。这些可以固定, 接受免疫组织化学, 视网膜, 然后安装在显微镜幻灯片和成像, 如果目标是检测细胞或亚细胞结构。或者, 不固定的视网膜可以从脑组织中分离出来, 在适当的缓冲液中裂解, 并用于蛋白质凝胶电泳或 mRNA 提取 (分别用于评估蛋白质或基因表达)。掌握所描述的微解剖协议可能需要大量的实践和耐心, 但一旦掌握了该协议, 就可以相对快速地隔离主要是未损坏的视网膜。
嗜德维子由大约750个被细胞包围的孔体组成, 细胞排列在蜂窝晶格1、2、3、4 中.每个瘤包含八个光感受器神经元, 四个透镜分泌锥细胞, 和两个主要色素细胞。周围的每个复合材料都是产生色素的晶格细胞和感觉刚毛群。由于其后有丝分裂的性质和陈规定型六角形排列,五合子木偶视网膜提供了一个很好的模型系统, 研究形态发生过程, 包括细胞粘附5,6, 7,8,9,10和凋亡 11,12,13, 14,15.
几个已发表的协议利用气压从五食小狗 16,17,18提取眼脑复合物。这里描述的协议反而利用微解剖工具, 仔细和精确地分离眼睛-大脑复合物, 目的是获得未受损的视网膜组织。如果视网膜被用于形态、蛋白质或基因表达分析, 这一点至关重要, 因为视网膜的损伤会导致细胞压力或死亡, 从而改变细胞表型或基因表达。此外, 经过练习, 6 至10个眼脑复合物可以在10至15分钟内分离, 从而有助于实现在解剖眼组织的年龄和发育阶段最大限度地减少变异性的目标。
下面描述的固定、免疫染色和全安装协议适用于荧光显微镜用五全套眼睛的制备。视网膜可以与针对感兴趣的蛋白质的抗体一起孵育。例如, 抗体对粘附结成分可用于可视化细胞的顶部周长, 以便评估包括细胞类型、形状和排列在内的特征19。在固定之前, 眼睛可以从大脑中分离出来, 用于提取用于西方分析的蛋白质, 或用于 qRT-PCR 或 rna 测序的 RNA。
这里描述的五食母目解剖方法允许在10至15分钟内分离6到10个眼睛-大脑复合物。然而, 为了掌握解剖技术, 提高解剖质量和速度, 耐心和实践是必不可少的。这种短暂的解剖时间确保了每只眼睛大约处于相同的发育阶段, 减少了数据集中视网膜表型或基因表达的变异性。虽然替代协议可能需要较少的实践掌握, 我们的协议旨在有条不紊地分离微妙的视网膜组织, 同时最大限度地减少撕裂或剪切?…
