AbstractIn order to establish a simple and highly purified method for primary culture of mouse dorsal root ganglion neurons(DRGn), in this study, the DRGn of young mice were obtained by collagenase type I and trypsin digestion. Then the DRGn were obtained by immunocytochemical staining of mouse neuron specific enolase (NSE) monoclonal antibody, while using flow cytometry to further detect the positive rates of DRGn. The cultured primary DRGn grew well and had a purity of about 83.72%. The DRGn survival time was 60 days when cultured in DMEM medium containing nerve growth factor (NGF). The culture scheme is simple and stable, and a large number of high purity DRGn could be cultured, which provides a reliable model for further study of nerve cells.

Objective Neurobiology studies are increasingly focused on the dorsal root ganglion (DRG), which plays an important role in neuropathic pain. Existing DRG neuron primary culture methods have considerable limitations, including challenging cell isolation and poor cell yield, which cause difficulty in signaling pathway studies. The present study aimed to establish an integrated primary culture method for DRG neurons. Methods DRGs were obtained from fetal rats by microdissection, and then dissociated with trypsin. The dissociated neurons were treated with 5-fluorouracil to promote growth of neurons from the isolated cells. Then, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunofluorescence assays were used to identify and purify DRG neurons. Results Isolated DRGs were successfully dissociated and showed robust growth as individual DRG neurons in neurobasal medium. Both mRNA and protein assays confirmed that DRG neurons expressed neurofilament-200 and neuron-specific enolase. Conclusions Highly purified, stable DRG neurons could be easily harvested and grown for extended periods by using this integrated cell isolation and purification method, which may help to elucidate the mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain.
