摘要

Purkinje cells play a crucial role in sensory motor coordination since they are the only output projection neurons in the cerebellar cortex and are affected in most spinocerebellar ataxias. They stand out in the central nervous system due to their large size and their profusely branched dendritic arbor. However, molecular and cellular studies on Purkinje cells are often hampered by the difficulty of maintaining these cells in culture. Here we report an easy, robust and reproducible method to obtain Purkinje-enriched mixed cerebellar cell cultures from day 16 mouse embryos using papain digestion and a semi-defined culture medium, being the composition of the culture approximately 20% Purkinje cells, 70% non-Purkinje neurons and 10% glial cells. We demonstrate that efficient gene transfer into Purkinje cells (as well as into other cerebellar populations) is possible using herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1)-derived vectors. Indeed, up to 50% of the Purkinje cells can be transduced and gene expression may persist for at least 14 days. As a result, this procedure permits functional gene expression studies to be carried out on cultured Purkinje neurons. To demonstrate this, we show that the expression of a dominant-negative form of glycogen synthase kinase-3 protects Purkinje neurons against cell death triggered by a chemical inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. In summary, we have established reproducible and reliable cerebellar cell cultures enriched for Purkinje cells which enables gene transfer studies to be carried out using herpesviral vectors.
