Organotypic brain slice cultures are a useful tool to study neurological disease as they provide a 3-dimensional system which more closely recapitulates the cytoarchitectural complexity than standard 2-dimensional cell cultures. Building on our previously developed rat brain slice culture protocol, we have extended our findings to develop excitotoxic lesion models by treatment of rat sagittal organotypic slices with AMPA or quinolinic acid (QA). We show that treatment of rat sagittal cortico-striatal organotypic slices with 8μM AMPA or 50μM QA causes striatal cell loss with a reduction in neuronal nuclei (NeuN)+ cells and an increase in ethidium homodimer-1 (EthD-1)+ dead cells compared to untreated slices. More specifically, following treatment with QA, we observed a reduction in medium spiny neuron DARPP32 + cells in the striatum and cortex of slices. Treatment of the slices with AMPA does not alter glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) expression, while we observed an acute increase in GFAP expression 1-week post-QA exposure both in the cortex and striatum of slices. This recapitulates the excitotoxic and striatal degeneration observed in rat AMPA and QA lesion models . Our slice culture platform provides an advance over other systems with the ability to generate acute AMPA- and QA-induced striatal excitotoxicity in sagittal cortico-striatal slices which can be cultured long-term for at least 4 weeks. Our organotypic slice culture system provides a long-term cellular platform to model neuronal excitotoxicity, with QA specifically modelling Huntington's disease. This will allow for mechanistic studies of excitotoxicity and neuroprotection, as well as the development and testing of novel therapeutic strategies with reduced cost and ease of manipulation prior to experimentation.
