چکیده

background: primary cultures of embryonic neurons have been used to introduce a model of neurons in physiological and pathological conditions. however, age-related cellular events limit this method as an optimal model in adult neurodegenerative diseases studies. besides, short-interval changing media in previous cultures decreases the effectiveness of this model. as an example of this matter, we can refer to the study on some special neuronal secreted factors or the influence of some experimental materials on neurons. meanwhile, short-interval changing media could remove the effects of some released factors from the environment. in this study, the method for isolation and culturing adult rat hippocampal neurons with long-intervals medium changing has been described. methods: the hippocampal neurons of adult male rats were cultured. we used neurobasal a/b27 culture medium, papain (2 mg/ml), trypsin 0.25% and collagenase (1 mg/ml) for neuronal isolation, optiprep density gradient for separation of neurons from other cell types and also debris and fgf2 (10 ng/ml) for increasing neuronal survival and regeneration. results: the neuronal sprouting and viability were increased by using papain and mild triturating (p<0.05). adult neuronal culturing and their regeneration were impossible without fgf2. it was shown that adding new fresh medium every 4 days and exchanging half of it every 8 days had no detrimental effect on neuronal viability. conclusion: this investigation shows the possibility of culturing adult neuronal cells and their maintaining in long-interval media. it could be happened because of adult neurons rely significantly on the neighboring cells secreted factors for living and making synaptic connections. this model is very useful in physiological and pathological studies which need stable conditions of neuronal culture in a long period of time.

The Effect of Prenatal Exposure to Restraint Stress on Hippocampal Granule Neurons of Adult Rat Offspring

Objective(s) It is well known that prenatal stresses (PS) induce a variety of neurobiological and behavioral alterations, some of them involving the hippocampal formation. This study aimed to determine whether restraint stress influences the neuronal volume and number of granule cells in the hippocampus of adult rat offspring. Materials and Methods Ten Wistar pregnant rats were randomly divi...

Isolation and culture of adult rat hippocampal neurons.

Inability to culture adult central neurons and the failure of injured neurons to regenerate in the brain could be due to genetic controls or environmental inhibitors. We tested the environmental inhibitor hypothesis by attempting to regenerate adult rat neurons in B27/Neurobasal culture medium, a medium optimized for survival of embryonic neurons. To isolate neurons from their numerous connecti...

Long-lasting plasticity of hippocampal adult-born neurons.

Adult neurogenesis occurs in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, which is a key structure in learning and memory. It is believed that adult-born neurons exert their unique role in information processing due to their high plasticity during immature stage that renders them malleable in response to environmental demands. Here, we demonstrate that, in rats, there is no critical time window for ex...

Towards Neuronal Organoids: A Method for Long-Term Culturing of High-Density Hippocampal Neurons

One of the goals in neuroscience is to obtain tractable laboratory cultures that closely recapitulate in vivo systems while still providing ease of use in the lab. Because neurons can exist in the body over a lifetime, long-term culture systems are necessary so as to closely mimic the physiological conditions under laboratory culture conditions. Ideally, such a neuronal organoid culture would c...
