| Popis: | Retinal explants and mixed primary cultures are currently used to investigate retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) pathophysiology and pharmacology, but information on yield, quality and quantity of contaminant cells for the available RGCs enrichment techniques is lacking. Here we compare two methods of mouse primary RGCs purification and show that mitochondrial and autophagy parameters can be measured in rapidly purified RGCs. RGCs were purified from P0 mouse eyes using two methods based on the surface antigen Thy1. In a two-step immunopanning purification, a subtraction plate bound macrophage antiserum removed contaminant macrophages and endothelial cells; unbound RGCs were then affinity selected using a plate-bound antiThy1 antibody. In an immunopanning-magnetic separation, macrophage-antiserum bound cells were first subtracted and then RGCs were positively selected using an antiThy1 antibody bound to a magnetic column. The two-steps immunopanning yielded low amounts of 90% pure RGCs, whereas RGCs represented 30% of the 6-fold more cells collected by immunopanning-magnetic separation. RGCs purified with both methods could be microelectroporated to image expressed mitochondria and autophagosomes fluorescent probes and to show that expression of pathogenic Optic atrophy 1 mutants causes mitochondrial fragmentation. Thus, these two methods purify primary mouse RGCs amenable to studies of cell morphology, mitochondrial biology and autophagy. |
