Primary midbrain dopaminergic neurons were derived from ventral mesencephalon of postnatal day 0 mouse pups based on Florence Gaven’s protocol34 . In brief, dissociated cells were seeded at cell culture dishes coated with poly-d-lysinecoated. Cells were maintained at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 95% air in DMEM/F12 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum, 50 U/ml penicillin, and 50 g/ml streptomycin. Next day, culture medium was changed to B-27 Plus Neuronal Culture System (Thermo Fisher Scientific, A3653401) containing 50 U/ml penicillin, and 50 g/ml streptomycin. At DIV 7, DA neurons were detected by anti-TH antibody with immunofluorescence (fig. S2B). Seven-day-old cultures were used for treatment. Adenovirus that expression either GFP, α-synuclein A53T were used to infect Primary midbrain dopaminergic neuron at 7 DIV.

Primary embryonic cortical neurons from pregnant rats (embryonic day 19) were prepared as previously described [38 (link)]. Briefly, the cortex of the brain was dissected from the embryo and purified by a papain dissection kit (Worthington Biochemical, Lakewood, NJ, USA). Twenty-four-well plates were coated with 0.1 mg/mL poly-D-lysine (PDL) for 3 h and washed with MilliQ water. Cortical neurons were plated on the PDL-coated plates at a density of 200,000 cells per well in 1 mL of B-27 Plus Neuronal Culture System (Thermo Fisher Scientific; #A3653401) containing 2 mM GlutaMAX (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 1% antibiotic antimycotic solution (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). DIV 14-30 neurons were used for the experiments.

Primary mouse cortical neuronal cultures were obtained from E16 ICR mouse embryos (Laboratory Animal Facility, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology). Briefly, cerebral cortices were removed from E16 ICR mouse embryos and mechanically dissociated in PBS with glucose (18 mM).

Cultured Rat Neuron Manipulation

Hippocampi and midbrains were dissected from P0 Sprague-Dawley rat pups of both sexes. Rat maintenance and care followed policies advocated by NRC and PHS publications and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), Janelia Research Campus. Tissues were digested with papain and gently triturated and filtered through a 40 μm filter. Neurons were electroporated (Lonza 4D-nucleofactor) with Tet-On Arl13b-RhoA (hippocampal neurons) or Tph2-Cre (tryptophan hydroxylase 2-Cre, midbrain neurons) and plated in poly-D-lysine coated dishes and cultured in NbActiv4 (BrainBits) at 37°C and 5% CO2. A week after plating, the neuronal cultures were fed with B-27 plus neuronal culture system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). AAV transduction (Syn1-GRAB-HTR6-cilia, FLEX-on hM3DGq-DREADD, FLEX-on farnesylated SNAP, or FLEX-on tdTomato) were applied at DIV10. 100 ng/ml doxycycline was added at DIV 6 or DIV14 and removed the next day for Arl13b-RhoA experiments. Images were collected between DIV 9 and DIV 28 (Alr13b-RhoA, hippocampal culture only) or DIV21-35 (hippocampal and midbrain co-culture). JF552-STL (SNAP-labeled neurons) was applied the day prior to imaging (100 nM, 2 h).

Cells were seeded at 50,000 to 150,000 live cells/cm2 into plates coated with poly-d-lysine (0.01%, w/v; Sigma-Aldrich, P6407). Medium was fully exchanged 1 day after plating (DIV 1) with subsequent half-medium exchanges every 3 to 4 days.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
