The effects of denervation on neurons can be readily studied <i>in vitro</i> using organotypic slice cultures of entorhinal cortex and hippocampus. Following transection of the entorhino-dentate projection, granule cells (GCs) are denervated and show on average a transient loss of spines on their denervated distal dendrites but not on their non-denervated proximal dendrites. In the present study, we addressed the question how single GCs and their denervated and non-denervated segments react to entorhinal denervation. Local adeno-associated virus (AAV)-injections were employed to transduce dentate GCs with tdTomato and entorhinal projection neurons with EGFP. This made it possible to visualize both innervating entorhinal fibers and their target neurons and to identify dendritic segments located in the \"entorhinal\" and the \"hippocampal\" zone of the dentate gyrus. Confocal time-lapse imaging was used to image distal and proximal segments of single GCs after entorhinal denervation. Time-matched non-denervated cultures served as controls. In line with previous reports, average dendritic spine loss was ~30% (2-4 days post-lesion) in the denervated zone. However, individual GCs showed considerable variability in their response to denervation in both layers, and both decreases as well as increases in spine density were observed at the single cell level. Based on the standard deviations and the effect sizes observed in this study, a computer simulation yielded recommendations for the minimum number of neurons that should be analyzed in future studies using the entorhinal <i>in vitro</i> denervation model.</p>","PeriodicalId":12572,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Neuroanatomy","volume":"18 ","pages":"1513511"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11790675/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143188915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While acute pain serves as a warning signal for potential tissue damage, neuropathic pain represents a chronic pathological condition resulting from injury or disease affecting sensory pathways of the nervous system. Neuropathic pain is characterized by long-lasting ipsilateral hyperalgesia (increased sensitivity to pain), allodynia (pain sensation in response to stimuli that are not normally painful), and spontaneous unprovoked pain. Current treatments for neuropathic pain are generally inadequate, and prevention remains elusive. In this review, we provide an overview of current treatments, their limitations, and a discussion on the potential of capsaicin and its analog, resiniferatoxin (RTX), for complete alleviation of nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain. In an animal model of neuropathic pain where the fifth lumbar (L5) spinal nerve is unilaterally ligated and cut, resulting in ipsilateral hyperalgesia, allodynia, and spontaneous pain akin to human neuropathic pain. The application of capsaicin or RTX to the adjacent uninjured L3 and L4 nerves completely alleviated and prevented mechanical and thermal hyperalgesia following the L5 nerve injury. The effects of this treatment were specific to unmyelinated fibers (responsible for pain sensation), while thick myelinated nerve fibers (responsible for touch and mechanoreceptor sensations) remained intact. Here, we propose to translate these promising preclinical results into effective therapeutic interventions in humans by direct application of capsaicin or RTX to adjacent uninjured nerves in patients who suffer from neuropathic pain due to peripheral nerve injury, following surgical interventions, diabetic neuropathy, trauma, vertebral disc herniation, nerve entrapment, ischemia, postherpetic lesion, and spinal cord injury.</p>","PeriodicalId":12572,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Neuroanatomy","volume":"18 ","pages":"1523095"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11747518/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143003875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conversely, we detected a positive correlation between the intensity of GFAP and H&E staining and post-fixation durations. Moreover, there was no correlation between the intensity of NeuN, GFAP, Iba1, H&E, CV, and LFB staining and PMI. Additionally, no correlation was found between these staining intensities and age, except for the intensity of GFAP immunostained by one antiserum, which was negatively correlated with age.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Taken together, these findings suggest that prolonged post-fixation has both positive and negative effects, while age and PMI exert limited influence on these IHC and HC parameters. Therefore, it is essential to consider these differential changes when interpreting results derived from tissues with extended post-fixation durations. Furthermore, if feasible, we recommend conducting IHC and HC staining on human brains with the same post-fixation time spans and using the most optimal antibodies to mitigate the impact on subsequent analyses.</p>","PeriodicalId":12572,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Neuroanatomy","volume":"18 ","pages":"1477973"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11602276/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142749663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
