A Rabbit Model for Peripheral Nerve Reconstruction Studies Avoiding Automutilation Behavior

Background  The rabbit sciatic nerve injury model may represent a valuable alternative for critical gap distance seen in humans but often leads to automutilation. In this study, we modified the complete sciatic nerve injury model for avoiding autophagy. Materials and Methods  In 20 adult female New Zealand White rabbits, instead of transecting the complete sciatic nerve, we unilaterally transected the tibial portion and preserved the peroneal portion. Thereby loss of sensation in the dorsal aspect of the paw was avoided. The tibial portion was repaired in a reversed autograft approach in a length of 2.6 cm. In an alternative repair approach, a gap of 2.6 cm in length was repaired with a chitosan-based nerve guide. Results  During the 6-month follow-up period, there were no incidents of autotomy. Nerve regeneration of the tibial portion of the sciatic nerve was evaluated histologically and morphometrically. A clear difference between the distal segments of the healthy contralateral and the repaired tibial portion of the sciatic nerve was detectable, validating the model. Conclusion  By transecting the isolated tibial portion of the rabbit sciatic nerve and leaving the peroneal portion intact, it was possible to eliminate automutilation behavior.

Rabbit SLC15A1, SLC7A1 and SLC1A1 genes are affected by site of digestion,stage of development and dietary protein content

Peptide transporter 1 (SLC15A1, PepT1), excitatory amino acid transporter 3 (SLC1A1, EAAT3) and cationic amino acid transporter 1 (SLC7A1, CAT1) were identified as genes responsible for the transport of small peptides and amino acids. The tissue expression pattern of rabbit (SLC15A1, SLC7A1 and SLC1A1) across the digestive tract remains unclear. The present study investigated SLC15A1, SLC7A1 and SLC1A1 gene expression patterns across the digestive tract at different stages of development and in response to dietary protein levels. Real time-PCR results indicated that SLC15A1, SLC7A1 and SLC1A1 genes throughout the rabbits’ entire development and were expressed in all tested rabbit digestive sites, including the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon and cecum. Furthermore, SLC7A1 and SLC1A1 mRNA expression occurred in a tissue-specific and time-associated manner, suggesting the distinct transport ability of amino acids in different tissues and at different developmental stages. The most highly expressed levels of all three genes were in the duodenum, ileum and jejunum in all developmental stages. All increased after lactation. With increased dietary protein levels, SLC7A1 mRNA levels in small intestine and SLC1A1 mRNA levels in duodenum and ileum exhibited a significant decreasing trend. Moreover, rabbits fed a normal level of protein had the highest levels of SLC15A1 mRNA in the duodenum and jejunum (P<0.05). In conclusion, gene mRNA differed across sites and with development suggesting time and sites related differences in peptide and amino acid absorption in rabbits. The effects of dietary protein on expression of the three genes were also site specific.     

A Macaque Model of Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Induced by Unilateral Intrahippocampal Injection of Kainic Acid

Objective

In order to better investigate the cause/effect relationships of human mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE), we hereby describe a new non-human primate model of mTLE.

Methods

Ten macaques were studied and divided into 2 groups: saline control group (n = 4) and kainic acid (KA) injection group (n = 6). All macaques were implanted bilaterally with subdural electrodes over temporal cortex and depth electrodes in CA3 hippocampal region. KA was stereotaxically injected into the right hippocampus of macaques. All animals were monitored by video and electrocorticography (ECoG) to assess status epilepticus (SE) and subsequent spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRS). Additionally, in order to evaluate brain injury produced by SE or SRS, we used both neuroimaging, including magnetic resonance image (MRI) & magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and histological pathology, including Nissl stainning and glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) immunostaining.

Results

The typical seizures were observed in the KA-injected animal model. Hippocampal sclerosis could be found by MRI & MRS. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and GFAP immunostaining showed neuronal loss, proliferation of glial cells, formation of glial scars, and hippocampal atrophy. Electron microscopic analysis of hippocampal tissues revealed neuronal pyknosis, partial ribosome depolymerization, an abnormal reduction in rough endoplasmic reticulum size, expansion of Golgi vesicles and swollen star-shaped cells. Furthermore, we reported that KA was able to induce SE followed by SRS after a variable period of time. Similar to human mTLE, brain damage is confined to the hippocampus. Accordingly, hippocampal volume is in positive correlations with the neuronal cells count in the CA3, especially the ratio of neuron/glial cell.

Conclusions

The results suggest that a model of mTLE can be developed in macaques by intra-hippocampal injection of KA. Brain damage is confined to the hippocampus which is similar to the human mTLE. The hippocampal volume correlates with the extension of the hippocampal damage.

Development of an Optimal Diaphragmatic Hernia Rabbit Model for Pediatric Thoracoscopic Training

Our objectives were to standarize the procedure needed to reproduce a similar surgicalscene which a pediatric surgeon would face on repairing a Bochdalek hernia in newborns andto define the optimal time period for hernia development that achieve a realistic surgicalscenario with minimimal animal suffering. Twenty New Zealand white rabbits weighing 3–3.5kg were divided into four groups depending on the time frame since hernia creation tothoracoscopic repair: 48 h, 72 h, 96 h and 30 days. Bochdalek trigono was identified andprocedures for hernia creation and thoracoscopic repair were standarized. Blood wascollected for hematology (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin andhematocrit), biochemistry (blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase) and gas analysis(arterial blood pH, partial pressure of oxygen, partial pressure of carbón dioxide, oxygensaturation and bicarbonate) at baseline and before the surgial repairment. Glucocorticoidmetabolites concentration in faeces was measured. Thoracoscopy video recordings wereevaluated by six pediatric surgeons and rated from 0 to 10 according to similarities withcongenital diaphragmatic hernia in newborn and with its thoracoscopic approach.Statistical methods included the analysis of variance, and comparisons between groups werefollowed by a post-hoc Tukey’s test. Fourty -eight h showed to be the optimal time frameto obtain a diaphragmatic hernia similar to newborn scenario from a surgical point of viewwith minimal stress for the animals.

Proliferative growth of neonatal cerebellar cells in culture: Regulation by male and by maternal serum in late gestation

Neonatal cerebellar cells were utilized as a model system to examine the effect of 20 day pregnant rat serum on proliferative growth in the CNS. Cells were prepared by mechanical dissociation and cultured as mixed cells or populations enriched in astrocytes or oligodendrocytes. Cell proliferation was estimated by measurement of DNA, protein, and/or mitochondrial reductase activity (MTT). When mixed cells were incubated with 10% male rat serum, both total DNA and protein content increased after 6 days of culture. By contrast, neither of these parameters were altered in cultures incubated with 10% pregnant serum. When cells were incubated with either male or pregnant sera, changes in MTT activity paralleled changes in protein content. Graded concentrations of pregnant serum (5–20%) added to mixed cell cultures produced consistently lower MTT values when compared with identical concentrations of male serum. In addition, MTT activity was diminished in both astrocytes and oligodendrocytes incubated with graded concentrations of pregnant sera when compared with similar concentrations of non-pregnant sera. When potential effects of these different sera on the cell cycle were examined, an increase in the number of cells in the S and G2/M phase was similar, and DNA doubling began to increase at 96 hrs in the presence of either male or 20 day pregnant sera. Thus the inhibition of cell growth by pregnant serum was not likely a result of either cytotoxicity or a delay of entry of cells into the cell cycle. To examine whether this inhibition of cell growth may reflect the effect of pregnant serum on endogenous growth factor production, we tested the production of IGF-II by cerebellar cells. Production of an endogenous source of IGF-II was apparent using an RNAse protection assay and was noted using Slot Blot analysis of mRNA extracted at sequential times during cell incubation. Mixed cell cultures also secreted immunologically defined IGF-II. These observations are consistent with the previous demonstration that the fraction of pregnant serum which bound IGF-II also inhibited cell growth. The inhibitory effect of pregnant serum was diminished by preincubating aliquots of sera with graded concentrations of IGF-I prior to adding sera to tissue culture medium. Pregnant serum inhibition was also diminished by prolonging incubation times beyond 6 days. The blunting of pregnant serum inhibition may have been consequent to either a continuing production of endogenous growth factors or to the potential emergence of resistant cells due to prolonged tissue culture incubation. Since cells studied in a primary culture of limited duration may more accurately reflect the physiologic properties of this tissue, the model presented herein could provide a new approach to study brain development.West Side Medical CenterNorthwestern University medical School
