Establishment of mouse neuron and microglial cell co-cultured models and its action mechanism

Abstract

ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to establish a co-culture model of mouse neurons and microglial cells, and to analyze the mechanism of action of oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) and transient oxygen glucose deprivation (tOGD) preconditioning cell models.ResultsMouse primary neurons and BV2 microglial cells were successfully cultured, and the OGD and tOGD models were also established. In the co-culture of mouse primary neurons and microglial cells, the cell number of tOGD mouse neurons and microglial cells was larger than the OGD cell number, observed by a microscope. CCK-8 assay result showed that at 1h after treatment, the OD value in the control group is lower compared to all the other three groups (P < 0.05). The treatment group exhibited the highest OD value among the four groups. The results observed at 5h were consistent with the results at 1 h. Flow cytometry results showed that at 1h after treatment the apoptosis percentages is higher in the control group compared to other three groups (P < 0.05).Materials and MethodsMouse brain tissues were collected and primary neurons cells were cultured. In the meantime mouse BV2 microglia cells were cultured. Two types of cells were co-cultured, and OGD and tOGD cell models were established. There were four groups in the experiment: control group (OGD), treatment group (tOGD+OGD), placebo group (tOGD+OGD+saline) and minocycline intervention group (tOGD+OGD+minocycline). CCK-8 kit was used to detect cell viability and flow cytometry was used to detect apoptosis.ConclusionsIn this study, mouse primary neurons and microglial cells were co-cultured. The OGD and tOGD models were established successfully. tOGD was able to effectively protect neurons and microglial cells from damage, and inhibit the apoptosis caused by oxygen glucose deprivation.

TMED2 promotes epithelial ovarian cancer growth

“…Cells were seeded into 96-well plates and cultured for an additional 24 h. After treatment with OT, 10 μl of the kit reagent was added and then incubated for another 2 h. O.D. value was read at 450 nm to obtain the final results [ 33 – 35 ].…”

Baicalin-aluminum alleviates necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens by inhibiting virulence factors expression of Clostridium perfringens

“…The cell viability assay was performed using a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8, Beyotime, Shanghai, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions as described previously ( Zhang et al., 2017 ). Briefly, the Caco-2 cells were grown in a 96-well plate to obtain monolayer cells.…”

Effects of exosomes derived from Trichinella spiralis infective larvae on intestinal epithelial barrier function

“…A CCK-8 kit (Meilunbio, China) was used to detect cell viability as described earlier [ 16 ]. Briefly, cells were seeded in 96-well plates (approximately 1 × 10 3 cells per well) and cultured under the same conditions as above.…”
