Morphological features of microglial cells in a 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer's disease Authors
BACKGROUND: Aging is an inevitable and irreversible process associated with increased risk of developing various neurodegenerative diseases, one of which is Alzheimer's disease. Currently, the role of glial cells, in particular microglia, in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is being actively studied. However, only a few studies have correlated the morphological features of microglia and their spatial arrangement in relation to A plaques.
AIM: Describe the main morphological parameters of microglia in the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer's disease at a late stage of pathology development.
METHODS: Mice from the 5xFAD line were studied as a model of rapid amyloidosis, at the age of 15-16 months. To study morphological diversity, an immunohistological analysis of cerebral cortex sections was performed with the help of ImageJ application using the Skeletonize, Analyze Skeleton (2D/3D) and FracLac plugins.
RESULTS: During the study, 5xFAD mice were divided into two groups. Carriers of the APP and PSEN1 transgenes were assigned to the "FAD" group, wild-type mice to the "Wt" group and were taken as controls, each group included 3 mice. From each mouse, we analyzed 3-4 sagittal sections (50m) of the brain to study the morphological features of microglia in the late stage of Alzheimer's disease. The results obtained showed that the microglial cells of mice with signs of Alzheimer's disease have a lower fractal dimension, lacunarity and branching.
CONCLUSION:. The presence of -amyloid plaques contributes to the migration of microglia to the focus of inflammation, its proliferation and transition to the phagocytic and dystrophic subtype. According to fractal analysis, there is a significant (p0.05) decrease in the average branching of microglial processes, a decrease in fractal dimension and lacunarity.
期刊介绍:
“Genes and Cells” (the old name is “Cell Transplantology and Tissue Engineering”) is a peer-reviewed scientific and practical journal recommended by the Higher Attestation Commission of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation for publishing basic materials of dissertation research. Originally conceived as a highly specialized publication, the Journal has now gained an ever wider target audience. If at the beginning of its journey — from September 2005 — the target audience of the journal were biotechnologists, specialists in the field of molecular and cell biology, by now it has expanded with medical practitioners. Such progressive dynamics are absolutely natural — over the last 7-10 years, biomedical technologies have come out of the exotic category, lack of understanding of the inhabitants and mistrust of clinicians have been replaced by interest and awareness of the need to use biotechnology tools in medicine no longer tomorrow, but today. The sections of the journal are formulated to fully disclose the target topics of the publication, convey to readers the opinions of leading experts in the field of biomedical technologies on topical issues of concern, acquaint them with the most significant recent foreign and domestic research, materials of thematic conferences, present analytical information on fundamental issues of biomedical technologies trends in the biotech business. The journal includes the following headings: “expert opinions”, “cell technology news”, “reviews”, “original research”, “clinical experience”, “discussion and general theoretical work”, “stem cell business”.
