[Abstract]  The photothrombotic model of stroke is commonly used in research as it allows the ischemic infarct to be targeted to specific regions of the cortex with high reproducibility and well-defined infarct borders. Unlike other models of stroke, photothrombosis allows the precise size and location of infarct to be tightly controlled with minimal surgical invasion. Photothrombosis is induced when a circulating photosensitive dye is irradiated in vivo, resulting in focal disruption of the endothelium, activation of platelets and occlusion of the microvasculature (Watson et al., 1985; ... [摘要]  中风的光血栓形成模型通常用于研究,因为它允许缺血性梗塞针对特定区域的皮层,具有高重现性和明确的梗塞边界。 与其他卒中模型不同,光血栓形成能够以最小的手术入侵严密控制梗死的精确大小和位置。 当在体内辐射循环的光敏染料时诱导光血栓形成,导致内皮的局灶性破坏,血小板的活化和微血管的闭塞(Watson等人,1985年 ; Dietrich等人,1987; Carmichael,2005)。 这里的方案定义了如何将光致血栓形成特异性地靶向大鼠的感觉运动前肢皮层并具有高重现性。 提供了大鼠皮质组织处理的详细方法以允许精确分析脑卒中体积和立体定向确定缺血性损伤的精确皮层区域。

【背景】中风的光血栓形成模型允许在皮层的特定区域中精确布置缺血性梗塞(Carmichael,2005; Underly and Shih,2017)。光血栓形成可用于封闭皮层中的特定动脉和动脉分支(Carmichael et al。,2005),pia的个别血管(Taylor和Shih,2013),并定义了皮质区域如桶(Dietrich等人,1987)和后肢躯体感觉皮层(Que等人,1999)。使用这种方法,在许多实验动物模型中已经产生了高度可重现的缺血性梗塞,包括啮齿动物(Watson等人,1985; Carmichael等人,2005)和非人类动物模型人灵长类动物(Ikeda et ...

In vivo Use of Dextran-based Anterograde Cortical Tracers to Assess the Integrity of the Cortical Spinal Tract

[Abstract]  When injected into the motor cortex of rats, anterograde tracers label fibers of the associated descending corticospinal tract (CST) that originate from pyramidal neurons in the tracer-injected cortex. These fibers can be assessed at the level of the spinal cord to determine the integrity of the descending CST and the spatial distribution of axons in the spinal grey matter. Here we provide detailed methods on the minimally invasive stereotaxic injection of anterograde tracers into the forelimb sensorimotor representation in the rat cortex. In addition, we detail the fixing and processing of ... [摘要]  当注射到大鼠运动皮层时,顺行示踪剂标记伴随着皮质脊髓束下行(CST)的起源于示踪剂注射皮层中的锥体神经元的纤维。 这些纤维可以在脊髓水平进行评估以确定下降的CST的完整性和脊髓灰质中轴突的空间分布。 在这里,我们提供了在大鼠皮层前肢感觉运动表征的微创立体定向注射顺行示踪剂的详细方法。 此外,我们详细介绍了脊柱组织的固定和加工,以评估CST的完整性和分支到脊髓灰质。

【背景】运动皮层含有上运动神经元,其产生形成CST的下行轴突并终止于脊髓。注入大鼠运动皮层的顺行示踪剂标记这些CST的降纤维,允许其在脊髓水平进行评估(图1)。在啮齿动物模型中,CST的顺行标记广泛用于评估一系列脊髓损伤模型(包括损伤)中的CST完整性(Thallmair等人,1998; Vavrek等人, 2006)和挫伤(Hill等人,2001)。此外,顺行皮质示踪剂已被用于评估不同模型的脑损伤例如皮质卒中中的遗留纤维和CST的可塑性(Wahl等人,2014; Wiersma等人, ...

Loading of Extracellular Vesicles with Chemically Stabilized Hydrophobic siRNAs for the Treatment of Disease in the Central Nervous System

[Abstract]  Efficient delivery of oligonucleotide therapeutics, i.e., siRNAs, to the central nervous system represents a significant barrier to their clinical advancement for the treatment of neurological disorders. Small, endogenous extracellular vesicles were shown to be able to transport lipids, proteins and RNA between cells, including neurons. This natural trafficking ability gives extracellular vesicles the potential to be used as delivery vehicles for oligonucleotides, i.e., siRNAs. However, robust and scalable methods for loading of extracellular vesicles with oligonucleotide ... [摘要]  将寡核苷酸治疗剂即siRNAs有效递送到中枢神经系统代表了治疗神经系统疾病的临床进展的显着障碍。 小的内源性细胞外囊泡显示能够在细胞(包括神经元)之间传输脂质,蛋白质和RNA。 这种天然的贩运能力使细胞外囊泡成为寡核苷酸即siRNA的递送载体的潜力。 然而,缺乏用寡核苷酸载体装载细胞外囊泡的稳健和可扩展的方法。 我们描述了在简单共孵育后将疏水修饰的siRNA加载到细胞外囊泡中的详细方案。 我们详细介绍了从细胞外囊泡纯化到数据分析的工作流程。 该方法可以促进基于细胞外基于囊泡的疗法用于治疗广泛的神经障碍。
【背景】siRNA是一种类型的寡核苷酸治疗剂,一类新的直接靶向信使RNA(mRNA)的药物,以防止导致疾病表型的蛋白质的表达。 siRNA的治疗应用是非常有希望的,因为siRNA可以被设计为靶向任何基因,包括不能用小分子或基于蛋白质的疗法“可药用”的基因。在寡核苷酸治疗剂的化学中取得的进展使得能够设计完全稳定的疏水改性的siRNA(hsiRNA,用2'-O-甲基或2'-氟以及硫代磷酸酯和共价键合到胆固醇的有义链修饰),其促进细胞hsiRNA的自我内化,并保持有效负载在RNA诱导的沉默复合体(RISC)中的能力(Byrne等,2013; Khvorova和Watts,2017)。与乘客链的3'末端连接的胆固醇缀合物对于快速细胞膜缔合是必需的(Byrne等,2013; ...
