Description
Summary:Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CSF-cNs) act crucial role in chemosensory and mechanosensory function in spinal cord. Recently, CSF-cNs were found to be an immature neuron and may be involved in spinal cord injury recovery. But how to culture it and explore its function in vitro are not reported in previous research. Here, we first reported culture and identification of CSF-cNs in vitro. We first established a protocol for in vitro culture of CSF-cNs from the cervical spinal cord of mice within 24 h after birth. Polycystic kidney disease 2-like 1 (PKD2L1) + cells were isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting and expressed the neuron marker β-tubulin III and CSF-cNs marker GABA. Intriguingly, PKD2L1 + cells formed neurosphere and expressed neural stem cell markers Nestin, Sox2 and GFAP. Thus, our research provided culture and isolation of CSF-cNs and this facilitate the investigation the CSF-cNs function in vitro.
