Abstract

阿尔茨海默氏病 (AD) 是一种衰弱的神经退行性疾病, 其中有毒 amyloid-β42 (Aβ42) 肽的积累导致突触变性、炎症、神经元死亡和学习缺陷。由于神经干/祖细胞 (NSPCs) 的增殖能力受损, 神经元发生减少, 在 AD 的情况下, 人类无法再生丢失的神经细胞。因此, 有效的再生疗法也应提高 NSPCs 的增殖和神经源能力. 斑马鱼 (斑马鱼) 是一种再生有机体, 我们可以学习基本的分子程序, 我们可以设计处理 AD 的治疗方法。因此, 在斑马鱼中生成类似广告的模型是必要的。利用我们的方法, 我们可以引入 Aβ42肽的合成衍生物, 将组织穿透能力纳入成年斑马鱼脑, 并分析疾病病理和再生反应。比现有的方法或动物模型的优势是, 斑马鱼可以教我们如何一个脊椎动物的大脑可以自然再生, 从而帮助我们更好地治疗人类神经退行性疾病的目标内生 NSPCs。因此, 在成年斑马鱼脑中建立的淀粉样毒性模型可能为神经科学和临床医学领域的研究开辟新的途径。此外, 这种方法的简单执行, 允许 cost-effective 和有效的实验评估。这份手稿描述了 Aβ42肽的合成和注射到斑马鱼脑。

Introduction

AD 是一种慢性渐进性疾病, 其特点是大脑皮层神经元和突触的丢失1,2,3,4,5。经典的病理标志的广告是淀粉样肽的沉积和形成的纤维缠结 (NFTs)6。老年斑块, 也称为淀粉样斑块, 是由淀粉样β (a) 肽组成的β褶结构在脑实质5。Aβ42在 AD 患者中的积累在疾病进展中具有早期和关键性的作用。AD 触发一连串的事件导致突触功能障碍, 可塑性受损, 神经元丢失7,8,9,10

硬斑马鱼的成年大脑是研究干细胞可塑性调控的优良模型 11,12,13,14151617181920以及中枢神经系统中的各种疾病 (包括 AD212223 ,24。由于大量可用的实验方法 19,20,25,26,27,28,2930,31, 这些研究是翔实和可行的。斑马鱼可以补充中枢神经系统13,15,32,33,34,35,36,37, 38, 部分使用在神经元丢失后激活的分子程序19,39,40,4142,43, 44。因此, 在斑马鱼中建立一个神经退行性疾病模型可以帮助解决脊椎动物大脑再生能力和干细胞生物学方面的新问题。

最近, 我们通过注射合成 Aβ42肽 (表 1)39在成年斑马鱼脑中建立了淀粉样毒性模型。这种注射引起了神经表型的人脑病理学 (例如, 细胞死亡, 胶质活化, 突触变性, 和记忆缺陷), 表明斑马鱼可用于诱导神经在斑马鱼脑中, Aβ42肽可通过免疫组化染色检测, 并可识别成年斑马鱼中枢神经系统再生的分子机制39。在本协议中, 我们演示了使用脑室注射液 (CVMI) 方法27,39,45,46 , 将合成的淀粉样肽注射到斑马鱼脑中。模拟淀粉样蛋白沉积 (图 1)。CVMI 提供了一种新的方式提供的多肽, 其聚合后注射作为β板结构和施加毒性。这些肽分布在整个大脑中, 以整个 rostro 尾轴的心室面积为目标45。此外, 该方法还可以分析 NSPCs 在成年斑马鱼脑内淀粉样蛋白包裹体中的形态和分子反应。这些研究将为我们提供一个成功的哺乳动物大脑修复的洞察力。我们的方法可以用来理解的必要分子机制, 成功的再生反应后, AD 样症状, 以诱导补充的丢失神经元和功能恢复。
