Co-culturing Glutamatergic Neurons and Pediatric High-Grade Glioma Cells04:27

Co-culturing Glutamatergic Neurons and Pediatric High-Grade Glioma Cells

This video showcases a technique for co-culturing glutamatergic neurons and pediatric high-grade glioma (pHGG) cells within a microfluidic device. Human induced pluripotent stem cells are introduced into the microfluidic system and incubated to promote their differentiation into mature cortical glutamatergic neurons. Following this, the pHGG cells are introduced onto the mature neurons, establishing a co-culture and enabling interactions between neurons and pHGG...

A Protocol for Explant Cultures of IDH1-mutant Diffuse Low-grade Gliomas

IDH1-mutant diffuse low-grade gliomas are rare tumors that are difficult to culture. We introduce a simple, non-enzymatic explant method that preserves IDH1-mutant protein expression and sustains cultures for months. Importantly, this technique works with cryopreserved tumors, offering a valuable resource for glioma...

A Photopolymerizable Hyaluronic Acid-Collagen Model of the Invasive Glioma Microenvironment with Interstitial Flow04:30

A Photopolymerizable Hyaluronic Acid-Collagen Model of the Invasive Glioma Microenvironment with Interstitial Flow

We present a method for replicating the glioma tumor microenvironment at the invasive front that incorporates interstitial fluid flow. This model is a hyaluronan-collagen I hydrogel in a tissue culture insert where a fluid pressure head can be applied. Invasion can be quantified, and cells can be isolated or lysed.

Co-culture of Glutamatergic Neurons and Pediatric High-Grade Glioma Cells Into Microfluidic Devices to Assess Electrical Interactions

Recent works uncover the neuronal impact on high-grade pediatric glioma (pHGG) cells and their reciprocal interactions. The present work shows the development of an in vitro model co-culturing pHGG cells and glutamatergic neurons and recorded their electrophysiological interactions to mimic those...

Optimization of High Grade Glioma Cell Culture from Surgical Specimens for Use in Clinically Relevant Animal Models and 3D Immunochemistry

Protocol for propagation of dissociated high grade glioma surgical specimens in serum-free neurosphere medium to select for cells with cancer stem cell phenotype. For specimens that fail to grow as neurospheres, an alternative protocol is suggested. A paraffin embedding technique for maintaining the 3D neurosphere architecture for immunocytochemistry is...

Digital Spatial Profiling for Characterization of the Microenvironment in Adult-Type Diffusely Infiltrating Glioma09:17

Digital Spatial Profiling for Characterization of the Microenvironment in Adult-Type Diffusely Infiltrating Glioma

Proteomic dysregulation plays an important role in the spread of diffusely infiltrating gliomas, but several relevant proteins remain unidentified. Digital spatial processing (DSP) offers an efficient, high-throughput approach for characterizing the differential expression of candidate proteins that may contribute to the invasion and migration of infiltrative...
