신경세포-신경교세포 공동배양을 이용한 성숙한 해마신경세포의 효율적인 형질전환 방법 A Reliable Protocol for transfection of mature primary hippocampal neurons using a neuron-glia co-culture system원문보기
형질전환은 유전자의 기능을 이해하는데 매우 중요한 기법이다. $Ca^{2+}$-인산 침전법은 시간과 비용이 저렴하여 가장 흔히 사용된다. 그러나 성숙 신경세포는 어린 신경세포나 다른 세포종에 비하여 형질전환이 어렵고 쉽게 죽는다. 본 연구에서는 Clontech사의 $CalPhos^{TM}$ Mammalian Transfection 방법을 수정하여 성숙한 신경세포를 효율적으로 형질전환할 수 있는 방법을 고안하였다. 대뇌 신경교세포를 DMEM/10% 말혈청에서 70-80% confluence까지 키우고 배지를 혈청이 첨가되지 않은 Neurobasal/Ara-C로 바꾸어 주어 더 이상 신경교세포가 분열하지 않게 한 다음, 여기에 E19 해마신경세포를 접종하여 배양하였다. $DNA/Ca^{2+}$-인산 침전물은 Clontech사의 $CalPhos^{TM}$ Mammalian Transfection Kit을 이용하여 크기($0.5-1\;{\mu}m$ in diameter) 및 농도(약 10 particles/$100\;{\mu}m^2$)를 배지에서 배양시간을 변화시켜 적당히 조절하였다. 이렇게 하면 in vitro에서 2주 이상 배양한 신경세포도 24-well plate 한 well당 10-15개의 형질전환된 건강한 신경세포를 얻을 수 있었다. 이 방법의 효용성을 검증하기 위하여 연접단백질인 $EGFP-CaMKII{\alpha}$ 융합단백질과 RFP 단백질 유전자(각각 $pEGFP-CaMKII{\alpha}$ 및 pDsRed2)를 형질전환한 결과 전자는 점박이 모양, 후자는 세포전체에 퍼진 양상의 표현을 관찰할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 성숙한 신경세포를 효율적으로 형질전환할 수 있는 방법을 제공한다.

DNA transfection is a powerful tool for studying gene functions. The $Ca^{2+}$-phosphate precipitation remains one of the most popular and cost-effective transfection techniques. Mature neurons are more resistant to transfection than young ones and most other cell types, and easy to die if microenvironment changes. Here, we report a transfection protocol for mature neurons. The critical modifications are inclusion of glial cells in culture and careful control of $Ca^{2+}$-phosphate precipitation under microscope. Cerebral glial cells were grown until ${\sim}70-80%$ confluence in DMEM/10% horse serum, which was thereafter replaced with serum-free Neurobasal/Ara-C, and 319 hippocampal neurons were plated onto the glial layer Formation of fine $DNA/Ca^{2+}$-phosphate precipitates was induced using Clontech $CalPhos^{TM}$ Mammalian Transfection Kit, and the size ($0.5-1\;{\mu}m$ in diameter) and density(about 10 particles/$100\;{\mu}m^2$) were carefully controlled by the time of incubation in the medium. This modified protocol can be reliably applied for transfection of mature neurons that are maintained longer than two weeks in vitro, resulting in 10-15 healthy transfected neurons per a well of 24-well plates. The efficacy of the protocol was verified by punctate expression of $pEGFP-CaMKII{\alpha}$, a synaptic protein, and diffuse expression of pDsRed2. Our protocol provides a reliable method for transfection of mature neurons in vitro.
