ここで説明する方法は、人口とせん断流れに対する個々 のセル動作の両方を評価するために便利な方法を提供しています。重要なは、以前の研究は、導くおよび移行中にエッジ マーカーをラギングの局在解析、現在のアプローチは鋭くせん断流を適用することによって即時の効果の調査をできます。このメソッドを使用して、実際には、せん断流れに細胞の初期応答必要がないこと細胞の?...

真核細胞の移行は水溶性または基質結合塩基のグラデーション、基板、電気フィールド、またはせん断流の可変剛性を含む環境の多様な化学と物理の合図によってバイアスされています。走化性を運転する分子機構の理解に多くの進歩をされているが、以下は指示移行と統合を生成する細胞レベルでこれらの多様な信号を統合する方法の他の種類について知られている渡り鳥応答。
監督、走化性因子の集積が進む方向への移動には行動の 3 つのコンポーネントが含まれます: 運動方向検出、極性1。運動は、仮足突起により細胞のランダムな動きを指します。方向性、走化性因子の原因を検出する細胞の能力は、センシングでも発生することができます細胞を固定化しました。極性は、リーディング エッジと運動の増加の永続につながる細胞の遅行エッジ間細胞内コンポーネントのより安定した非対称的な配分を指します。
4 つの概念上定義された制御ネットワークの活動に依存する、走化性因子への細胞応答: 受容体/極性1アクチン細胞骨格、シグナル伝達蛋白質 G。G タンパク質共役型受容体への走化性因子のバインドは、ヘテロ三量体 G タンパク質 α と βγ 方向信号を増幅する下流のシグナル伝達ネットワークを経由で信号を送信します。シグナル伝達ネットワーク内の複数経路並行行為し、アクチン細胞骨格ネットワーク バイアス アクチン重合とグラデーションの方向に、結果として仮足突起にフィードします。走化性の重要な規制当局の間では、しますグアニル酸シクラーゼ、ホスファターゼとは、テンシンの相同物 (PTEN) ホスホイノシチド 3-キナーゼ (PI3K) Ras GTPase、TorC2。シグナル伝達ネットワークの内で、およびシグナル伝達とアクチン細胞骨格のネットワークをさらにフィードバック機構は、応答を増幅します。最後に、定義が不十分な極性ネットワークはアクチン細胞骨格から入力を受け、さらにグラデーションの方向で永続的な移行を促進するシグナル伝達ネットワーク バイアスがかかります。
走化性のメカニズム理解の多くは、制御ネットワークのさまざまなコンポーネントのタグ付きの蛍光バイオ センサーの開発のために可能になった。多くの走化性規制規制分子自体またはその活動の非対称的な配分があります。たとえば、認識バイオ アクティブ バージョンの小さな低分子量 g 蛋白質 Ras や Rap1-Ras 結合ドメイン (称します RBD) Raf1 のモデル、それぞれ-chemotaxing 携帯2,3のリーディング エッジにローカライズします。同様に、PI3K およびその製品ホスファチジルイノシトール (3,4,5)-三リン酸 (PIP3)、プレクストリン相同性 (PH) ドメインで認識もセル4、5の前面にローカリゼーションを表示します。対照的に、3 ホスファターゼ PTEN 変換 PIP3 ホスファチジルイノシトール (4, 5) に戻る-ビスリン酸、ローカライズ セル6のラギングの端に。重要なは、これらのバイオ センサーは、走化性因子とグローバルの刺激への応答への局在を変更します。ゾル性細胞質または皮質局在と欠席しているエッジ マーカーの遅れをとっているに対し、皮質に戻して静止細胞の突起の先端にリーディング エッジ マーカー静止細胞の突起の先端からなる後ゾル性細胞質刺激。バイオ センサー、走化性因子とグローバルの刺激への応答分布の解析は、運動と極性、観測をしばしば混同の貢献を最小化します。走化性因子、細胞懸濁液のグローバルまたは一様刺激はしばしばタンパク質リン酸化7,8,9によって検出される蛋白質のアクティブ化人口全体の変更を評価するツールとして使用も.顕微鏡制御ネットワークのさまざまなコンポーネントの動作に関する時間的・空間的情報を収集するために使用に対し主、この生化学的な試金は時間情報を取得する使用されます。
シグナル伝達ネットワークには、興奮性システム10,11の機能が組み込まれています。スープラしきい値走化性刺激に対する応答は「全か無か」であり、不応期が表示されます。応答が確率的に発生しても、振動現象を示すことができます。シグナル伝達イベント波12,13,14,15として伝播する大脳皮質の領域に局在しています。前面、または背面、マーカー、募集または伝播する波のアクティブ ・ ゾーンから切り離します。末尾のアクティブなゾーン ・難治性地域のため逆方向の波を彼らを満たして全滅させます。伝搬波の信号伝達細胞移行10を仲介する細胞の突起の根底にあります。
同じような調節機構が好中球とその他哺乳類の細胞の種類16 に該当するも、走化性については前述の多くはキイロタマホコリカビ、社会的なアメーバの研究から来た.細胞性粘菌単一細胞の何千もを最終的に胞子を含む多細胞の子実体を形成集計センターへ移行と飢餓では、堅牢な走化性応答のある確立されたモデル有機体をあります。走化性は、この生物の細菌の食料源を検索するための単一細胞の成長段階も重要です。重要なは、単一の細胞性粘菌の移行は、哺乳類の好中球または非常に急速なアメーバ型移行を受けるすべての転移性癌細胞の移行に似ています。実際には、両方全体的な制御ネットワークのトポロジと同様、走化性に関与する個々 のシグナル伝達経路の多くは、細胞性粘菌と哺乳類白血球17の間保存されます。さらに、線維芽細胞など、他のセルは、Gpcr; 代わりに受容器のチロシンのキナーゼ (RTK) を使用します。ただし、RTKs は同じようなネットワークにフィード可能性があります。
走化性と対照をなして指示移行の他の各種のモードを駆動する信号メカニズムの理解が欠けています。同様に細胞走化性因子のグラデーションで移行するいくつか報告されている活性化および/または局在アクチン重合、PIP3 および/または細胞外シグナル調節キナーゼ (ERK) 1/2 を含む典型的なリーディング エッジ マーカーで、経るセルの前面は、作用するせん断流れまたは電界18,19,20,21の変更への応答で移行を指示しました。しかし、これらの研究の刺激に連続暴露も結果細胞遊走と疑問が残ったかどうか、具体的には、刺激に対する反応のリーディング エッジ マーカーのローカライズなど、または彼らは単にリーディング エッジにローカライズために移行するセルの前面に仮足数の増加。
人口レベルで両方のせん断流れと個々 のセル22として配信される急性の力学的摂動に対する細胞の反応を観察することができるアッセイを開発しました。走化性因子、急性 stimula グローバル刺激に似ていますせん断流のグローバリゼ-ションは、運動または極性から交絡の貢献をせず機械的刺激に対する細胞応答の研究をことができます。遺伝的または薬理学的摂動とこれらの生化学的および顕微鏡的アッセイを組み合わせることにより、私たちはどのように力学的刺激については、認識されて学ぶことして転送します。また、このアプローチはまた走化性因子、受容体/G からシグナル伝達とアクチン細胞骨格のネットワーク分離のない状態で走化性因子の受容体の下流のシステムへのタッピング法を提供しますタンパク質ネットワーク。
最近我々 は以下の方法を使用して、走化性シグナル伝達とアクチン細胞骨格ネットワーク22の複数のコンポーネントの活性化につながるその急性のせん断応力を示した。さまざまな間隔で急性の機械的刺激により、我々 は、同様にする走化性因子、力学的刺激に対する応答も展示下応答の全か無かの動作を含む、興奮性システムの機能実証飽和条件と不応期の存在。最後に、機械的、化学的刺激を組み合わせることによって示したシグナル伝達とアクチン細胞骨格ネットワーク、可能性があります複数バイアス細胞遊走刺激の統合を可能にする、2 つの刺激を共有します。

Acute and Chronic Tactile Sensory Testing after Spinal Cord Injury in Rats

Spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs sensory systems causing allodynia1-8. To identify cellular and molecular causes of allodynia, sensitive and valid sensory testing in rat SCI models is needed. However, until recently, no single testing approach had been validated for SCI so that standardized methods have not been implemented across labs. Additionally, available testing methods could not be implemented acutely or when severe motor impairments existed, preventing studies of the development of SCI-induced allodynia3. Here we present two validated sensory testing methods using von Frey Hair (VFH) monofilaments which quantify changes in tactile sensory thresholds after SCI4-5. One test is the well-established Up-Down test which demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity across different SCI severities when tested chronically5. The other test is a newly-developed dorsal VFH test that can be applied acutely after SCI when allodynia develops, prior to motor recovery4-5. Each VFH monofilament applies a calibrated force when touched to the skin of the hind paw until it bends. In the up-down method, alternating VFHs of higher or lower forces are used on the plantar L5 dermatome to delineate flexor withdrawal thresholds. Successively higher forces are applied until withdrawal occurs then lower force VFHs are used until withdrawal ceases. The tactile threshold reflects the force required to elicit withdrawal in 50% of the stimuli. For the new test, each VFH is applied to the dorsal L5 dermatome of the paw while the rat is supported by the examiner. The VFH stimulation occurs in ascending order of force until at least 2 of 3 applications at a given force produces paw withdrawal. Tactile sensory threshold is the lowest force to elicit withdrawal 66% of the time. Acclimation, testing and scoring procedures are described. Aberrant trials that require a retest and typical trials are defined. Animal use was approved by Ohio State University Animal Care and Use Committee.

We describe two tactile sensory testing methods for acute or chronic periods of spinal cord injury in rats. These validated procedures can detect the development and maintenance of allodynia-like sensations.

Chronic Constriction of the Sciatic Nerve and Pain Hypersensitivity Testing in Rats

Chronic neuropathic pain, resulting from damage to the central or peripheral nervous system, is a prevalent and debilitating condition, affecting 7-18% of the population1,2. Symptoms include spontaneous (tingling, burning, electric-shock like) pain, dysaesthesia, paraesthesia, allodynia (pain resulting from normally non-painful stimuli) and hyperalgesia (an increased response to painful stimuli). The sensory symptoms are co-morbid with behavioural disabilities, such as insomnia and depression. To study chronic neuropathic pain several animal models mimicking peripheral nerve injury have been developed, one of the most widely used is Bennett and Xie's (1988) unilateral sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI)3 (Figure 1). Here we present a method for performing CCI and testing pain hypersensitivity.
CCI is performed under anaesthesia, with the sciatic nerve on one side exposed by making a skin incision, and cutting through the connective tissue between the gluteus superficialis and biceps femoris muscles. Four chromic gut ligatures are tied loosely around the sciatic nerve at 1 mm intervals, to just occlude but not arrest epineural blood flow. The wound is closed with sutures in the muscle and staples in the skin. The animal is then allowed to recover from surgery for 24 hrs before pain hypersensitivity testing begins.
For behavioural testing, rats are placed into the testing apparatus and are allowed to habituate to the testing procedure. The area tested is the mid-plantar surface of the hindpaw (Figure 2), which falls within the sciatic nerve distribution. Mechanical withdrawal threshold is assessed by mechanically stimulating both injured and uninjured hindpaws using an electronic dynamic plantar von Frey aesthesiometer or manual von Frey hairs4. The mechanical withdrawal threshold is the maximum pressure exerted (in grams) that triggers paw withdrawal. For measurement of thermal withdrawal latency, first described by Hargreaves et al (1988), the hindpaw is exposed to a beam of radiant heat through a transparent glass surface using a plantar analgesia meter5,6. The withdrawal latency to the heat stimulus is recorded as the time for paw withdrawal in both injured and uninjured hindpaws. Following CCI, mechanical withdrawal threshold, as well as thermal withdrawal latency in the injured paw are both significantly reduced, compared to baseline measurements and the uninjured paw (Figure 3). The CCI model of peripheral nerve injury combined with pain hypersensitivity testing provides a model system to investigate the effectiveness of potential therapeutic agents to modify chronic neuropathic pain. In our laboratory, we utilise CCI alongside thermal and mechanical sensitivity of the hindpaws to investigate the role of neuro-immune interactions in the pathogenesis and treatment of neuropathic pain.

Due to the simplicity of surgery and the robust behavioural outcome, chronic constriction of the sciatic nerve is one of the pre-eminent animal models of neuropathic pain. Within 24 hrs following surgery, pain hypersensitivity is established and can be quantitatively measured using a von Frey aesthesiometer (mechanical test) and plantar analgesia meter (thermal test).

Measurement of Tactile Allodynia in a Murine Model of Bacterial Prostatitis

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are pathogens that play an important role in urinary tract infections and bacterial prostatitis1. We have recently shown that UPEC have an important role in the initiation of chronic pelvic pain2, a feature of Chronic prostatitis/Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS)3,4. Infection of the prostate by clinically relevant UPEC can initiate and establish chronic pain through mechanisms that may involve tissue damage and the initiation of mechanisms of autoimmunity5.
A challenge to understanding the pathogenesis of UPEC in the prostate is the relative inaccessibility of the prostate gland to manipulation. We utilized a previously described intraurethral infection method6 to deliver a clinical strain of UPEC into male mice thereby establishing an ascending infection of the prostate. Here, we describe our protocols for standardizing the bacterial inoculum7 as well as the procedure for catheterizing anesthetized male mice for instillation of bacteria.
CP/CPPS is primarily characterized by the presence of tactile allodynia4. Behavior testing was based on the concept of cutaneous hyperalgesia resulting from referred visceral pain8-10. An irritable focus in visceral tissues reduces cutaneous pain thresholds allowing for an exaggerated response to normally non-painful stimuli (allodynia). Application of normal force to the skin result in abnormal responses that tend to increase with the intensity of the underlying visceral pain. We describe methodology in NOD/ShiLtJ mice that utilize von Frey fibers to quantify tactile allodynia over time in response to a single infection with UPEC bacteria.

Infection of the prostate may be a contributing factor in mediating pelvic pain in chronic prostatitis. We describe the procedure for preparation of standardized bacterial inoculum, instillation of bacteria into the urethra of male mice and methodology for measuring tactile allodynia in mice over time.

Local and Global Methods of Assessing Thermal Nociception in Drosophila Larvae

In this article, we demonstrate assays to study thermal nociception in Drosophila larvae. One assay involves spatially-restricted (local) stimulation of thermal nociceptors1,2 while the second involves a wholesale (global) activation of most or all such neurons3. Together, these techniques allow visualization and quantification of the behavioral functions of Drosophila nociceptive sensory neurons.
The Drosophila larva is an established model system to study thermal nociception, a sensory response to potentially harmful temperatures that is evolutionarily conserved across species1,2. The advantages of Drosophila for such studies are the relative simplicity of its nervous system and the sophistication of the genetic techniques that can be used to dissect the molecular basis of the underlying biology4-6 In Drosophila, as in all metazoans, the response to noxious thermal stimuli generally involves a "nocifensive" aversive withdrawal to the presented stimulus7. Such stimuli are detected through free nerve endings or nociceptors and the amplitude of the organismal response depends on the number of nociceptors receiving the noxious stimulus8. In Drosophila, it is the class IV dendritic arborization sensory neurons that detect noxious thermal and mechanical stimuli9 in addition to their recently discovered role as photoreceptors10. These neurons, which have been very well studied at the developmental level, arborize over the barrier epidermal sheet and make contacts with nearly all epidermal cells11,12. The single axon of each class IV neuron projects into the ventral nerve cord of the central nervous system11 where they may connect to second-order neurons that project to the brain.
Under baseline conditions, nociceptive sensory neurons will not fire until a relatively high threshold is reached. The assays described here allow the investigator to quantify baseline behavioral responses or, presumably, the sensitization that ensues following tissue damage. Each assay provokes distinct but related locomotory behavioral responses to noxious thermal stimuli and permits the researcher to visualize and quantify various aspects of thermal nociception in Drosophila larvae. The assays can be applied to larvae of desired genotypes or to larvae raised under different environmental conditions that might impact nociception. Since thermal nociception is conserved across species, the findings gleaned from genetic dissection in Drosophila will likely inform our understanding of thermal nociception in other species, including vertebrates.

Measuring Changes in Tactile Sensitivity in the Hind Paw of Mice Using an Electronic von Frey Apparatus

Measuring inflammation-induced changes in thresholds of hind paw withdrawal from mechanical pressure is a useful technique to assess changes in pain perception in rodents. Withdrawal thresholds can be measured first at baseline and then following drug, venom, injury, allergen,&#160;or otherwise evoked inflammation by applying an accurate force on very specific areas of the skin. An electronic von Frey apparatus allows precise assessment of mouse hind paw withdrawal thresholds that are not limited by the available filament sizes in contrast to classical von Frey measurements. The ease and rapidity of measurements allow for incorporation of assessment of tactile sensitivity outcomes in diverse models of rapid-onset inflammatory and neuropathic pain as multiple measurements can be taken within a short time period. Experimental measurements for individual rodent subjects can be internally controlled against individual baseline responses and exclusion criteria easily established to standardize baseline responses within and across experimental groups. Thus, measurements using an electronic von Frey apparatus represent a useful modification of the well-established classical von Frey filament-based assays for rodent mechanical allodynia that may also be applied to other nonhuman mammalian models.

Electronic von Frey measurements are an effective and improved alternative to classical von Frey filaments, as they allow rapid and precise measurement of changes in rodent mechanical withdrawal thresholds to continuously applied pressure stimuli before and after an inflammatory event.

An Improved Assay and Tools for Measuring Mechanical Nociception in Drosophila Larvae

Published assays for mechanical nociception in Drosophila have led to variable assessments of behavior. Here, we fabricated, for use with Drosophila larvae, customized metal nickel-titanium alloy (nitinol) filaments. These mechanical probes are similar to the von Frey filaments used in vertebrates to measure mechanical nociception. Here, we demonstrate how to make and calibrate these mechanical probes and how to generate a full behavioral dose-response from subthreshold (innocuous or non-noxious range) to suprathreshold (low to high noxious range) stimuli. To demonstrate the utility of the probes, we investigated tissue damage-induced hypersensitivity in Drosophila larvae. Mechanical allodynia (hypersensitivity to a normally innocuous mechanical stimulus) and hyperalgesia (exaggerated responsiveness to a noxious mechanical stimulus) have not yet been established in Drosophila larvae. Using mechanical probes that are normally innocuous or probes that typically elicit an aversive behavior, we found that Drosophila larvae develop mechanical hypersensitization (both allodynia and hyperalgesia) after tissue damage. Thus, the mechanical probes and assay that we illustrate here will likely be important tools to dissect the fundamental molecular/genetic mechanisms of mechanical hypersensitivity.

An Improved Assay and Tools for Measuring Mechanical Nociception in Drosophila Larvae

The goal of this protocol is to show how to perform an improved assay for mechanical nociception in Drosophila larvae. We use the assay here to demonstrate that mechanical hypersensitivity (allodynia and hyperalgesia) exists in Drosophila larvae.

In vitro Functional Characterization of Mouse Colorectal Afferent Endings

This video demonstrates in detail an in vitro single-fiber electrophysiological recording protocol using a mouse colorectum-nerve preparation. The approach allows unbiased identification and functional characterization of individual colorectal afferents. Extracellular recordings of propagated action potentials (APs) that originate from one or a few afferent (i.e., single-fiber) receptive fields (RFs) in the colorectum are made from teased nerve fiber fascicles. The colorectum is removed with either the pelvic (PN) or lumbar splanchnic (LSN) nerve attached and opened longitudinally. The tissue is placed in a recording chamber, pinned flat and perfused with oxygenated Krebs solution. Focal electrical stimulation is used to locate the colorectal afferent endings, which are further tested by three distinct mechanical stimuli (blunt probing, mucosal stroking and circumferential stretch) to functionally categorize the afferents into five mechanosensitive classes. Endings responding to none of these mechanical stimuli are categorized as mechanically-insensitive afferents (MIAs). Both mechanosensitive and MIAs can be assessed for sensitization (i.e., enhanced response, reduced threshold, and/or acquisition of mechanosensitivity) by localized exposure of RFs to chemicals (e.g., inflammatory soup (IS), capsaicin, adenosine triphosphate (ATP)). We describe the equipment and colorectum&#8211;nerve recording preparation, harvest of colorectum with attached PN or LSN, identification of RFs in the colorectum, single-fiber recording from nerve fascicles, and localized application of chemicals to the RF. In addition, challenges of the preparation and application of standardized mechanical stimulation are also discussed.

Assessment of Perigenital Sensitivity and Prostatic Mast Cell Activation in a Mouse Model of Neonatal Maternal Separation

Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) has a lifetime prevalence of 14% and is the most common urological diagnosis for men under the age of 50, yet it is the least understood and studied chronic pelvic pain disorder. A significant subset of patients with chronic pelvic pain report having experienced early life stress or abuse, which can markedly affect the functioning and regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Mast cell activation, which has been shown to be increased in both urine and expressed prostatic secretions of CP/CPPS patients, is partially regulated by downstream activation of the HPA axis. Neonatal maternal separation (NMS) has been used for over two decades to study the outcomes of early life stress in rodent models, including changes in the HPA axis and visceral sensitivity. Here we provide a detailed protocol for using NMS as a preclinical model of CP/CPPS in male C57BL/6 mice. We describe the methodology for performing NMS, assessing perigenital mechanical allodynia, and histological evidence of mast cell activation. We also provide evidence that early psychological stress can have long-lasting effects on the male urogenital system in mice.

Novel Assay for Cold Nociception in Drosophila Larvae

How organisms sense and respond to noxious temperatures is still poorly understood. Further, the mechanisms underlying sensitization of the sensory machinery, such as in patients experiencing peripheral neuropathy or injury-induced sensitization, are not well characterized. The genetically tractable Drosophila model has been used to study the cells and genes required for noxious heat detection, which has yielded multiple conserved genes of interest. Little is known however about the cells and receptors important for noxious cold sensing. Although, Drosophila does not survive prolonged exposure to cold temperatures (&#8804;10 &#186;C), and will avoid cool, preferring warmer temperatures in behavioral preference assays, how they sense and possibly avoid noxious cold stimuli has only recently been investigated.
Here we describe and characterize the first noxious cold (&#8804;10 &#186;C) behavioral assay in Drosophila. Using this tool and assay, we show an investigator how to qualitatively and quantitatively assess cold nociceptive behaviors. This can be done under normal/healthy culture conditions, or presumably in the context of disease, injury or sensitization. Further, this assay can be applied to larvae selected for desired genotypes, which might impact thermosensation, pain, or nociceptive sensitization. Given that pain is a highly conserved process, using this assay to further study&#160;thermal nociception will likely glean important understanding of pain processes in other species, including vertebrates.

Implantation of Osmotic Pumps and Induction of Stress to Establish a Symptomatic, Pharmacological Mouse Model for DYT/PARK-ATP1A3 Dystonia

Genetically modified mouse models face limitations, especially when studying movement disorders, where most of the available transgenic rodent models do not present a motor phenotype resembling the clinical aspects of the human disease. Pharmacological mouse models allow for a more direct study of the pathomechanisms and their effect on the behavioral phenotype. Osmotic pumps connected to brain cannulas open up the possibility of creating pharmacological mouse models via local and chronic drug delivery. For the hereditary movement disorder of rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism, the loss-of-function mutation in the &#945;3-subunit of the Na+/K+-ATPase can be simulated by a highly specific blockade via the glycoside ouabain. In order to locally block the &#945;3-subunit in the basal ganglia and the cerebellum, which are the two brain structures believed to be heavily involved in the pathogenesis of rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism, a bilateral cannula is stereotaxically implanted into the striatum and an additional single cannula is introduced into the cerebellum. The cannulas are connected via vinyl tubing to two osmotic pumps, which are subcutaneously implanted on the back of the animals and allow for the chronic and precise delivery of ouabain. The pharmacological mouse model for rapid-onset dystonia-parkinsonism carries the additional advantage of recapitulating the clinical and pathological features of asymptomatic and symptomatic mutation carriers. Just like mutation carriers of rapid-onset dystonia parkinsonism, the ouabain-perfused mice develop dystonia-like movements only after additional exposure to stress. We demonstrate a mild stress paradigm and introduce two modified scoring systems for the assessment of a motor phenotype.

We provide a protocol to generate a pharmacological DYT/PARK-ATP1A3 dystonia mouse model via implantation of cannulas into basal ganglia and cerebellum connected to osmotic pumps.
