手术可以通过改变手术技巧来修改。有许多不同大小的小费, 可以应用到手机。更改笔尖的大小或形状将导致不同大小的窗口。除了4毫米的尖端, 我们还尝试了3毫米的尖端, 并发现它也工作良好。即使与冰冷 ACSF 的灌溉, 我们无法得到良好的结果, 因为过于狭窄 (约0.25 毫米) 的提示, 由于集中振动造成太多的热量和燃烧的骨骼导致损害的基础硬脑膜。我们还没有尝试过许多其他可用的提示, 我们预计其他实验室可能会找到新的应用程序, 为这些不同的提示。虽然手术相对简单, 但我们发现有几个步骤可能需要进行故障排除。第一个是, 振动尖端产生了大量的湍流在 ACSF, 这减少能见度, 并产生困难, 确定骨深度在骨细化步骤的手术。我们建议, 如果很难看到骨头有多薄, 休息一下, 用不育的棉签涂抹在骨头的一侧, 使头骨和窗户干燥。不要将棉签直接涂抹在窗户上, 因为粗糙的表面会损害到薄骨。检查深度后, 重新应用 ACSF 并继续手术。我们还发现, 如果硬脑膜受损, 通常是由于外科医生给小费施加了太多的压力。更轻柔地握住手机, 施加更少的力就有可能解决这个问题。如果外科医生用力刮骨上的尖端, 它会导致在薄骨骨折, 并损害头骨。最后, 如果在瘦骨后, 底层的硬脑膜出现擦伤, 很可能是由于来自振动的过热。提高 ACSF 流的速率将解决此问题。
相量的主要限制是手机可以瘦骨, 但不能去除硬脑膜上的所有骨。金刚石涂层尖端有小颠簸。薄头骨所需的摩擦会擦伤硬脑膜, 如果用来去除所有的骨头, 会导致出血。因此, 需要使用镊子来去除剩余的薄层。虽然目前正在进行的辩论是否通过一个薄薄的头骨成像产生较少的炎症和小胶质细胞和反应性星形胶质的增殖较少, 在某些情况下, 一个没有骨头的窗口是首选, 例如, 以提供更深入的成像3.
我们为小鼠的光子成像优化了颅骨窗的制备。我们知道, 相量是第一次应用压电技术在啮齿动物的颅窗手术中进行光学成像。我们发现, 使用压电手术在小鼠共享的优势, 增加速度和减少不良事件也报告在人类7,8,9,10。压电装置的使用使手术速度更快 (图 2A), 而与高速旋转钻头相比, 出血的不良事件减少 (图 2B)。我们还发现, 在我们的实验室里, 新的外科医生比传统的颅骨窗手术方法更容易学到相量。在外科医生中, 速度和易用性的优势可能不同。薄头骨的准备工作通常需要30-45 分钟, 用钻头和手术刀2来薄骨, 而相量法通常需要少于10分钟。
我们发现, 在用相量制备的窗口中, 我们可以在运动皮层的4层锥体神经元中显示钙的瞬变, 这是用腺相关病毒编码钙指示器 JRGECO1a (AAV9。jRGECO1a. WPRE. SV40). 我们还发现, 与用旋转钻头和手术刀制作的薄壁颅骨窗相比, 成像区域更大, 而用旋转钻头和手术刀制作的薄头骨有一个20µm 直径的成像窗口2.用相量, 我们能够快速地薄3-4 毫米的面积。这与用端口4报告的图像窗口类似。这个更大的窗口保留了快速成像报告的好处为稀薄的头骨窗口准备用牙钻和手术刀。此外, 用相量编制的窗口可以立即成像, 而不是传统的骨移除窗口, 可能需要几周的时间来愈合, 然后窗口才能最佳地成像3。
该技术可用于研究硬脑膜下血管血流的变化。将相量的免疫反应与其他颅窗方法进行比较, 是今后研究的重要课题。这将是很重要的, 以确定相量是否产生较少的炎症相比, 现有的方法。我们希望, 在这里记录的压电手术技术将允许更多的实验室执行颅骨窗口和成功地使用多光子成像在体内。
确保手机设置为在最低设置上振动, 并且 ACSF 以恒定速率进行灌溉。冰冷 ACSF 必须不断地应用, 否则会加热并损坏硬脑膜。我们发现, ACSF 必须以至少1毫升/分钟的速度应用. 要么使用手里握着的注射器, 要么使用蠕动泵, 而不是手机内的内置灌溉。手机的灌溉系统 ACSF 太用力, 产生太多的湍流, 这将大大削弱能见度。

颅窗手术制备啮齿动物为光子成像在体内已成为神经科学的一项重要技术。骨的去除或细化是必要的, 以准备的小鼠光学成像与光子显微镜。通过完全移除骨骼区域以暴露基础硬脑膜1, 或者通过将骨骼区域细化而不完全从硬脑膜2中取出来执行此手术。薄头骨方法可能产生较少的炎症和小胶质细胞的激活3 , 但提供了一个较浅的深度的成像, 一个较小的成像窗口大小 (200 µm) 和有限的时间段期间, 该窗口可以成像由于骨骼再生2.添加一个抛光和增强玻璃窗口 (端口) 可以增加成像的大小和成像周期, 但很难执行4。
目前的两种手术都使用高速旋转钻头来瘦身或从头骨中取出骨头。薄头骨技术还使用手术刀后, 进一步瘦骨2。端口技术要求用砂砾4进行高速抛光的额外步骤。在高速旋转钻头中, 空气动力涡轮或电动机使钻头在高速旋转。作为旋转钻头的骨骼和软组织, 有破坏硬脑膜和下血管的危险。手术的成功取决于外科医生的技能。除了这些用机械手术方法准备的窗户外, 还开发了一种用不同溶液光学清除头骨的化学方法5,6。然而, 由于压电手术是一种机械的手术方法, 我们在这里的比较将限于其他机械方法。
压电手术装置利用超声振动分解矿化骨而不损害底层软组织, 从而为快速瘦大面积骨提供了一种方法。在压电外科手机中, 涡轮被一堆陶瓷圆盘所取代, 当电流被应用时, 圆盘在超声波频率下振动。振动通过手机转移到金刚石涂层尖端, 通过骨骼切开, 而不会损伤软组织, 这比不区分组织类型的旋转钻头的优势。压电手术最初是为人类使用的托马斯 Vercellotti, 并导致改善牙科和颅 maxilofacial 手术7,8,9,10,11.
压电手术已被用于制造大鼠截骨术, 并被磁共振成像 (MRI) 和组织学发现比传统的牙科钻具明显减少12。作者认为, 压电手术是安全的, 以消除骨近软脑组织。然而, 老鼠有一个更薄的硬脑膜, 更容易受损, 这项研究并没有为慢性光学成像准备窗户。慢性影像学要求血管不受损, 而血液凝块不在窗口下形成。对硬脑膜的损伤导致炎症, 导致窗口云, 激活小胶质细胞和活性星形胶质的增殖。在这里, 我们有优化的压电手术小鼠, 以创建瘦头骨和完整的骨清除颅窗适合慢性成像。我们将这项手术技术与高速旋转钻机制备的颅骨窗手术进行了比较。

piezo high accuracy surgical osteal removal (phasor): a technique for improved cranial window surgery in mice

光子显微镜已广泛应用于成像神经元体内。反复成像需要植入颅骨窗口或反复细化颅骨。颅窗手术通常是用高速旋转钻头进行的, 许多调查人员发现它具有挑战性, 以防止钻头损坏细腻的硬脑膜和血管。需要进行广泛的训练和练习, 以去除骨骼而不损伤底层组织, 从而使颅骨窗手术困难, 耗时, 并产生组织损伤。压电外科, 广泛用于颌面和牙科手术, 利用超声振动去除骨不损伤软组织。我们开发了一种应用压电手术改善小鼠颅骨窗手术的方法, 用于制备光子成像。在我们的实验室比较发现, 该方法需要较少的手术时间, 并有较低的平均率的硬脑膜出血比颅窗手术与旋转钻机。

在进行压电手术前, 从颅骨上取出残余的骨膜。一旦头骨不透明和平滑 (图 1a), 外科医生可能开始压电手术。当用振动压电尖去除骨骼时, 用冰冷 ACSF 对颅骨进行冲洗是至关重要的。当尖端的底部1毫米淹没在 ACSF (图 1b) 中时, 就能进行适当的灌溉。如果没有适当的灌溉, 骨骼会过热并损伤大脑。当颅骨被外科医生选择的深度稀释后, 骨头上的血管可能会留下一些残余的出血。为了迅速停止所有出血, 应用一个小1毫米的胶原泡沫浸泡在 ACSF 的窗口区域。让胶原蛋白坐在头骨上大约三十年代 (图 1c)。胶原质泡沫被除去后, 窗户会呈半透明状, 使硬脑膜中的血管清晰可见。硬脑膜将完好无损, 没有明显的瘀伤。(图 1d)。如果硬脑膜出现红色和发炎, 这很可能是由于血管破裂, 在手术中应用到尖端的压力太大。为了保护新的窗口并准备用于慢性成像, 必须在该区域放置一个玻璃盖玻片。适当应用的玻璃盖玻片将轻轻地坐在窗口的顶部, 不会造成任何损害的区域。玻璃盖玻片必须覆盖整个窗户。如果玻璃盖玻片正确地应用到头骨, 窗口将保持半透明的玻璃下。硬脑膜中的所有血管仍将可见 (图 1e)。牙科丙烯酸必须在玻璃盖玻片的周围使用, 永久地坚持它的头骨表面。玻璃盖玻片的边缘也必须覆盖在牙科丙烯酸(图 1f)。
我们发现, 压电手术通常比传统的颅骨窗快得多, 每次手术大约要10-12 分钟 (图 2A)。我们还发现, 有较少的并发症, 由于硬脑膜瘀伤和出血的眼睛观察 (图 2B)。一个适当准备好的窗口将允许在大脑皮层神经元的荧光指示器的光子成像在体内。我们选择了在4层皮层神经元 (图 3A-3B) 的细胞体中 JRGECO1a 红色钙指示器的图像。我们可以通过用相量制备的窗口观察这些细胞体内的钙瞬态。

Imaging Glioma Initiation In Vivo Through a Polished and Reinforced Thin-skull Cranial Window

Glioma is the one of the most lethal forms of human cancer. The most effective glioma therapy to date-surgery followed by radiation treatment-offers patients only modest benefits, as most patients do not survive more than five years following diagnosis due to glioma relapse 1,2. The discovery of cancer stem cells in human brain tumors holds promise for having an enormous impact on the development of novel therapeutic strategies for glioma 3. Cancer stem cells are defined by their ability both to self-renew and to differentiate, and are thought to be the only cells in a tumor that have the capacity to initiate new tumors 4. Glioma relapse following radiation therapy is thought to arise from resistance of glioma stem cells (GSCs) to therapy 5-10. In vivo, GSCs are shown to reside in a perivascular niche that is important for maintaining their stem cell-like characteristics 11-14. Central to the organization of the GSC niche are vascular endothelial cells 12. Existing evidence suggests that GSCs and their interaction with the vascular endothelial cells are important for tumor development, and identify GSCs and their interaction with endothelial cells as important therapeutic targets for glioma. The presence of GSCs is determined experimentally by their capability to initiate new tumors upon orthotopic transplantation 15. This is typically achieved by injecting a specific number of GBM cells isolated from human tumors into the brains of severely immuno-deficient mice, or of mouse GBM cells into the brains of congenic host mice. Assays for tumor growth are then performed following sufficient time to allow GSCs among the injected GBM cells to give rise to new tumors-typically several weeks or months. Hence, existing assays do not allow examination of the important pathological process of tumor initiation from single GSCs in vivo. Consequently, essential insights into the specific roles of GSCs and their interaction with the vascular endothelial cells in the early stages of tumor initiation are lacking. Such insights are critical for developing novel therapeutic strategies for glioma, and will have great implications for preventing glioma relapse in patients. Here we have adapted the PoRTS cranial window procedure 16and in vivo two-photon microscopy to allow visualization of tumor initiation from injected GBM cells in the brain of a live mouse. Our technique will pave the way for future efforts to elucidate the key signaling mechanisms between GSCs and vascular endothelial cells during glioma initiation.

Thinned-skull Cortical Window Technique for In Vivo Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a biomedical imaging technique with high spatial-temporal resolution. With its minimally invasive approach OCT has been used extensively in ophthalmology, dermatology, and gastroenterology1-3. Using a thinned-skull cortical window (TSCW), we employ spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT) modality as a tool to image the cortex in vivo. Commonly, an opened-skull has been used for neuro-imaging as it provides more versatility, however, a TSCW approach is less invasive and is an effective mean for long term imaging in neuropathology studies. Here, we present a method of creating a TSCW in a mouse model for in vivo OCT imaging of the cerebral cortex.

Real-Time Imaging of CCL5-Induced Migration of Periosteal Skeletal Stem Cells in Mice

Periosteal skeletal stem cells (P-SSCs) are essential for lifelong bone maintenance and repair, making them an ideal focus for the development of therapies to enhance fracture healing.&#160; Periosteal cells rapidly migrate to an injury to supply new chondrocytes and osteoblasts for fracture healing. Traditionally, the efficacy of a cytokine to induce cell migration has only been conducted in vitro by performing a transwell or scratch assay. With advancements in intravital microscopy using multiphoton excitation, it was recently discovered that 1) P-SSCs express the migratory gene CCR5 and 2) treatment with the CCR5 ligand known as CCL5 improves fracture healing and the migration of P-SSCs in response to CCL5. These results have been captured in real-time. Described here is a protocol to visualize P-SSC migration from the calvarial suture skeletal stem cell (SSC) niche towards an injury after treatment with CCL5. The protocol details the construction of a mouse restraint and imaging mount, surgical preparation of the mouse calvaria, induction of a calvaria defect, and acquisition of time-lapse imaging.

The Mouse Round-window Approach for Ototoxic Agent Delivery: A Rapid and Reliable Technique for Inducing Cochlear Cell Degeneration

Investigators have utilized a wide array of animal models and investigative techniques to study the mammalian auditory system. Much of the basic research involving the cochlea and its associated neural pathways entails exposure of model cochleae to a variety of ototoxic agents. This allows investigators to study the effects of targeted damage to cochlear structures, and in some cases, the self-repair or regeneration of those structures. Various techniques exist for delivery of ototoxic agents to the cochlea. When selecting a particular technique, investigators must consider a number of factors, including the induction of inadvertent systemic toxicity, the amount of cochlear damage produced by the surgical procedure itself, the type of lesion desired, animal survivability, and reproducibility/reliability of results. Currently established techniques include parenteral injection, intra-peritoneal injection, trans-tympanic injection, endolymphatic sac injection, and cochleostomy with perilymphatic perfusion. Each of these methods has been successfully utilized and is well described in the literature; yet, each has various shortcomings. Here, we present a technique for topical application of ototoxic agents directly to the round window niche. This technique is non-invasive to inner ear structures, produces rapid onset of reliably targeted lesions, avoids systemic toxicity, and allows for an intra-animal control (the contra-lateral ear). Results stemming from this approach have helped deeper understanding of auditory pathophysiology, cochlear cell degeneration, and regenerative capacity in response to an acute injury. Future investigations may use this method to conduct interventional studies involving gene therapy and stem cell transplantation to combat hearing loss.

Various methods exist for introducing ototoxic agents to the cochleae of animal models. Presented is a surgical protocol for delivery of ototoxic agents to the round window niche. The procedure is reliable, creates targeted intra-cochlear lesions, and avoids mechanical damage to the microarchitecture. Examination of cochlear self-repair/regeneration is possible.

Craniotomy Procedure for Visualizing Neuronal Activities in Hippocampus of Behaving Mice

Imaging neuronal activities at single-cell resolution in awake behaving animals is a very powerful approach for the investigation of neural circuit functions in systems neuroscience. However, high absorbance and scattering of light in mammalian tissue limit intravital imaging mostly to superficial brain regions, leaving deep-brain areas, such as the hippocampus, out of reach for optical microscopy. In this video, we show the preparation and implantation of the custom-made imaging window to enable chronic in vivo imaging of the dorsal hippocampal CA1 region in head-fixed behaving mice. The custom-made window is supplemented with an infusion cannula that allows targeted delivery of viral vectors and drugs to the imaging area. By combining this preparation with wide-field imaging, we performed a long-term recording of neuronal activity using a fluorescent calcium indicator from large subsets of neurons in behaving mice over several weeks. We also demonstrated the applicability of this preparation for voltage imaging with single-spike resolution. High-performance genetically encoded indicators of neuronal activity and scientific CMOS cameras allowed the recurrent visualization of subcellular morphological details of single neurons at high temporal resolution. We also discuss the advantages and potential limitations of the described method and its compatibility with other imaging techniques.

This article demonstrates the preparation of a custom-made imaging window supplemented with infusion cannula and its implantation onto the CA1 region of the hippocampus in mice.

Implantation of a Cranial Window for Repeated In Vivo Imaging in Awake Mice

To fully understand the cellular physiology of neurons and glia in behaving animals, it is necessary to visualize their morphology and record their activity in vivo in behaving mice. This paper describes a method for the implantation of a chronic cranial window to allow for the longitudinal imaging of brain cells in awake, head-restrained mice. In combination with genetic strategies and viral injections, it is possible to label specific cells and regions of interest with structural or physiological markers. This protocol demonstrates how to combine viral injections to label neurons in the vicinity of GCaMP6-expressing astrocytes in the cortex for simultaneous imaging of both cells through a cranial window. Multiphoton imaging of the same cells can be performed for days, weeks, or months in awake, behaving animals. This approach provides researchers with a method for viewing cellular dynamics in real time and can be applied to answer a number of questions in neuroscience.

Assessment of Thermal Damage from Robot-Drilled Craniotomy for Cranial Window Surgery in Mice

Cranial window surgery allows for the imaging of brain tissue in live mice with the use of multiphoton or other intravital imaging techniques. However, when performing any craniotomy by hand, there is often thermal damage to brain tissue, which is inherently variable surgery-to-surgery and may be dependent on individual surgeon technique. Implementing a surgical robot can standardize surgery and lead to a decrease in thermal damage associated with surgery. In this study, three methods of robotic drilling were tested to evaluate thermal damage: horizontal, point-by-point, and pulsed point-by-point. Horizontal drilling utilizes a continuous drilling schematic, while point-by-point drills several holes encompassing the cranial window. Pulsed point-by-point adds a &#34;2 s on, 2 s off&#34; drilling scheme to allow for cooling in between drilling. Fluorescent imaging of Evans Blue (EB) dye injected intravenously measures damage to brain tissue, while a thermocouple placed under the drilling site measures thermal damage. Thermocouple results indicate a significant decrease in temperature change in the pulsed point-by-point (6.90 &#176;C &#177; 1.35 &#176;C) group compared to the horizontal (16.66 &#176;C &#177; 2.08 &#176;C) and point-by-point (18.69 &#176;C &#177; 1.75 &#176;C) groups. Similarly, the pulsed point-by-point group also showed significantly less EB presence after cranial window drilling compared to the horizontal method, indicating less damage to blood vessels in the brain. Thus, a pulsed point-by-point drilling method appears to be the optimal scheme for reducing thermal damage. A robotic drill is a useful tool to help minimize training, variability, and reduce thermal damage. With the expanding use of multiphoton imaging across research labs, it is important to improve the rigor and reproducibility of results. The methods addressed here will help inform others of how to better use these surgical robots to further advance the field.

Cranial windows have become a ubiquitously implemented surgical technique to allow for intravital imaging in transgenic mice. This protocol describes the use of a surgical robot that performs semi-automated bone drilling of cranial windows and can help reduce surgeon-to-surgeon variability and partially mitigate thermal blood-brain barrier damage.
