Abstract

 

Olfactory sensory neurons, located in the nasal epithelium, detect and transmit odorant information to the central nervous system. This requires that these neurons form specific neuronal connections within the olfactory bulb and express receptors and signaling molecules specific for these functions. This protocol describes a primary olfactory sensory neuron culture technique that allows in vitro investigation of olfactory sensory neuron differentiation, axon outgrowth, odorant receptor expression, and function. Olfactory epithelium is obtained from the nasal cavity and is enzymatically treated to reduce stroma tissue. Dissociated olfactory sensory neurons are cultured directly on a layer of cortical astrocytes to support their survival. Using this method, cultured olfactory sensory neurons maintain their bipolar morphology and express odorant signal transduction molecules, which are specific for olfactory sensory neurons. Curr.

(B ) Sagittal view of the opened nasal cavity. Nasal epithelium (OE) is circled. Olfactory bulb (OB) is located superior to the nasal cavity. (CD ) Different views of the dissected nasal epithelia with cartilage tissue attached. Arrowhead in C points to the nasal septum. (E ) Olfactory epithelium with underlining stroma. Arrowhead in E points to the separated stroma, which appear opaque under the stereomicroscope. (F ) Isolated olfactory neuroepithelial appear transparent under the stereomicroscope. Bar = 1 mm in A and B; 1 mm in C and D; 2 mm in E and F.

  •   Figure Figure 3.24.2 Morphology and gene expression of cultured OSNs. (A ) OSNs are identified by expression of type III β‐tubulin. Sensory neurons are cultured at low density with each individual neuron extending processes without contacting other neurons. Majority of cultured neurons are bipolar in morphology. (BD ) At 3 DIV, cultured OSNs exhibit bipolar morphology with a short, thick dendritic process and a long, thin axonal process. These neurons express neuronal markers, GAP43 (B), type III b‐tubulin (C) and NCAM (D). (EF ) At 6 DIV, cultured OSNs express odorant signaling molecules, Golf (E) and AC3 (F). Bar, 60 µm in A; 20 µm in B‐F.
