Protocol for modulating the noradrenergic pathway from locus coeruleus to heart to prevent sudden unexpected death in epilepsy in mouse models.
STAR protocols(2023)
摘要
The locus coeruleus (LC) and noradrenergic neurotransmission are involved in the regulation of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Here, we present a protocol for modulating the noradrenergic pathway from LC to heart to prevent SUDEP in acoustic and pentylenetetrazole-induced DBA/1 mouse models of SUDEP. We describe steps for constructing SUDEP models, calcium signal recording, and electrocardiogram monitoring. We then detail measurement of tyrosine hydroxylase content and activity, β1 and p-β1-AR content, and destruction of LCNE neurons. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Lian et al.1.
