Abstract
Introduction Damage to the corneal nerves can result in discomfort and chronic pain, profoundly impacting the quality of life of patients. Development of novel in vitro method is crucial to better understand corneal nerve regeneration and to find new treatments for the patients. Existing in vitro models often overlook the physiology of primary sensory neurons, for which the soma is separated from the nerve endings. Methods To overcome this limitation, our novel model combines a compartmentalized microfluidic culture of trigeminal ganglion neurons from adult mice with live-imaging and automated 3D image analysis offering robust way to assess axonal regrowth after axotomy. Results Physical axotomy performed by a two-second aspiration led to a reproducible 70% axonal loss and altered the phenotype of the neurons, increasing the number of substance P-positive neurons 72 h post-axotomy. To validate our new model, we investigated axonal regeneration after exposure to pharmacological compounds. We selected various targets known to enhance or inhibit axonal regrowth and analyzed their basal expression in trigeminal ganglion cells by scRNAseq. NGF/GDNF, insulin, and Dooku-1 (Piezo1 antagonist) enhanced regrowth by 81, 74 and 157%, respectively, while Yoda-1 (Piezo1 agonist) had no effect. Furthermore, SARM1-IN-2 (Sarm1 inhibitor) inhibited axonal regrowth, leading to only 6% regrowth after 72 h of exposure (versus 34% regrowth without any compound). Discussion Combining compartmentalized trigeminal neuronal culture with advanced imaging and analysis allowed a thorough evaluation of the extent of the axotomy and subsequent axonal regrowth. This innovative approach holds great promise for advancing our understanding of corneal nerve injuries and regeneration and ultimately improving the quality of life for patients suffering from sensory abnormalities, and related conditions.

A new microfluidic model to study dendritic remodeling and mitochondrial dynamics during axonal regeneration of adult zebrafish retinal neurons. Front Mol Neurosci 2023; 16:1196504.

Abstract
Unlike mammals, adult zebrafish are able to fully regenerate axons and functionally recover from neuronal damage in the mature central nervous system (CNS). Decades of research have tried to identify the mechanisms behind their spontaneous regenerative capacity, but the exact underlying pathways and molecular drivers remain to be fully elucidated. By studying optic nerve injury-induced axonal regrowth of adult zebrafish retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), we previously reported transient dendritic shrinkage and changes in the distribution and morphology of mitochondria in the different neuronal compartments throughout the regenerative process. These data suggest that dendrite remodeling and temporary changes in mitochondrial dynamics contribute to effective axonal and dendritic repair upon optic nerve injury. To further elucidate these interactions, we here present a novel adult zebrafish microfluidic model in which we can demonstrate compartment-specific alterations in resource allocation in real-time at single neuron level. First, we developed a pioneering method that enables to isolate and culture adult zebrafish retinal neurons in a microfluidic setup. Notably, with this protocol, we report on a long-term adult primary neuronal culture with a high number of surviving and spontaneously outgrowing mature neurons, which was thus far only very limitedly described in literature. By performing time-lapse live cell imaging and kymographic analyses in this setup, we can explore changes in dendritic remodeling and mitochondrial motility during spontaneous axonal regeneration. This innovative model system will enable to discover how redirecting intraneuronal energy resources supports successful regeneration in the adult zebrafish CNS, and might facilitate the discovery of new therapeutic targets to promote neuronal repair in humans.

Abstract
Itch (pruritus) is a sensation that drives a desire to scratch, a behavior observed in many animals. Although generally short-lasting and not causing harm, there are several pathological conditions where chronic itch is a hallmark symptom and in which prolonged scratching can induce damage. Finding medications to counteract the sensation of chronic itch has proven difficult due to the molecular complexity that involves a multitude of triggers, receptors and signaling pathways between skin, immune and nerve cells. While much has been learned about pruritus from in vivo animal models, they have limitations that corroborate the necessity for a transition to more human disease-like models. Also, reducing animal use should be encouraged in research. However, conducting human in vivo experiments can also be ethically challenging. Thus, there is a clear need for surrogate models to be used in pre-clinical investigation of the mechanisms of itch. Most in vitro models used for itch research focus on the use of known pruritogens. For this, sensory neurons and different types of skin and/or immune cells are stimulated in 2D or 3D co-culture, and factors such as neurotransmitter or cytokine release can be measured. There are however limitations of such simplistic in vitro models. For example, not all naturally occurring cell types are present and there is also no connection to the itch-sensing organ, the central nervous system (CNS). Nevertheless, in vitro models offer a chance to investigate otherwise inaccessible specific cell–cell interactions and molecular pathways. In recent years, stem cell-based approaches and human primary cells have emerged as viable alternatives to standard cell lines or animal tissue. As in vitro models have increased in their complexity, further opportunities for more elaborated means of investigating itch have been developed. In this review, we introduce the latest concepts of itch and discuss the advantages and limitations of current in vitro models, which provide valuable contributions to pruritus research and might help to meet the unmet clinical need for more refined anti-pruritic substances.

Abstract
The use of microfluidic chips is now allowing for more advanced modelling of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in vitro, recapitulating heterotypic interactions, 3D architecture, and physiological flow. This chapter will give an introduction to these new technologies and how they are being applied to model the BBB and neurovascular unit (NVU). A foundational understanding of the fluid dynamics germane to the effective use of these chips will be set and an overview of how physical phenomena at the microscale can be exploited to enable new possibilities to control the cell culture environment. The four main approaches to construct microfluidic blood vessel mimetics will be discussed with examples of how these techniques are being applied to model the BBB and more recently to study specific neurovascular disease processes. Finally, practical guidance will be given for researchers wishing to adopt these new techniques along with a summary of the challenges, limitations faced, and new opportunities opened up by these advanced cell culture systems.

Abstract
Neurotropic reoviruses repurpose host machinery to traffic over long distances in neuronal processes and access distal replication sites. Understanding mechanisms of neuronal transmission is facilitated by using simplified in vitro primary neuronal culture models. Advances in the design of compartmentalized microfluidic devices lend robustness to neuronal culture models by enabling compartmentalization and manipulation of distinct neuronal processes. Here, we describe a streamlined methodology to culture sensory neurons dissociated from dorsal root ganglia of embryonic rats in microfluidic devices. We further describe protocols to exogenously label reovirus and image, track, and analyze transport of single reovirus particles in living neurons. These techniques can be adapted to study directed axonal transport of other neurotropic viruses and neuronal factors involved in signaling and pathology.

Abstract
Traumatic brain injury often leads to progressive alterations at the molecular to circuit levels resulting in epilepsy and memory impairments. Ex vivo and in vitro models have provided a powerful platform for investigating the multimodal alteration after trauma. Recent ex vivo analyses using voltage sensitive dye imaging, optogenetics, and glutamate uncaging have revealed circuit abnormalities following in vivo brain injury. In vitro injury models have enabled examination of early and progressive changes in activity while development of three-dimensional organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells have opened novel avenues for injury research. Here, we highlight recent advances in ex vivo and in vitro systems, focusing on their potential for advancing mechanistic understandings, possible limitations, and implications for therapeutics.

Abstract
Several barriers protect the central nervous system (CNS) from pathogen invasion. Yet viral infections of the CNS are common and often debilitating. Understanding how neurotropic viruses co-opt host machinery to overcome challenges to neuronal entry and transmission is important to combat these infections. Neurotropic reovirus disseminates through neural routes and invades the CNS to cause lethal encephalitis in newborn animals. To define mechanisms of reovirus neuronal entry and directional transport, we used primary neuron cultures, which reproduce in vivo infection patterns displayed by different reovirus serotypes. Treatment of neurons with small-molecule inhibitors of different endocytic uptake pathways allowed us to discover that the cellular machinery mediating macropinocytosis is required for reovirus neuronal entry. This mechanism of reovirus entry differs from clathrin-mediated endocytosis, which is used by reovirus to invade non-neuronal cells. Analysis of reovirus transport and release from isolated soma or axonal termini of neurons cultivated in microfluidic devices indicates that reovirus is capable of retrograde but only limited anterograde neuronal transmission. The dynamics of retrograde reovirus movement are consistent with fast axonal transport coordinated by dynein along microtubules. Further analysis of viral transport revealed that multiple virions are transported together in axons within non-acidified vesicles. Reovirus-containing vesicles acidify after reaching the soma, where disassembly of virions and release of the viral core into the cytoplasm initiates replication. These results define mechanisms of reovirus neuronal entry and transport and establish a foundation to identify common host factors used by neuroinvasive viruses. Furthermore, our findings emphasize consideration of cell type-specific entry mechanisms in the tailored design of neurotropic viruses as tracers, oncolytic agents, and delivery vectors. Viral infections of the central nervous system (CNS) cause a significant health burden globally and compel a better mechanistic understanding of neural invasion by viruses to develop effective interventions. Neurotropic reovirus disseminates through neural routes to infect the CNS and serves as a tractable model to study neural invasion by viruses. Despite knowledge of reovirus neurotropism for decades, mechanisms mediating reovirus neuronal infection remain undefined. We used primary neurons cultured in microfluidic devices to study entry and directional transport of reovirus. We discovered that reovirus uses macropinocytosis for neuronal entry as opposed to the use of a clathrin-mediated pathway in non-neuronal cells. We are unaware of another virus using macropinocytosis to enter neurons. Following internalization, reovirus spreads in the retrograde direction using dynein-mediated fast axonal transport but exhibits limited anterograde spread. We further demonstrate that reovirus disassembly and replication occur in the neuronal soma subsequent to axonal transport. Remarkably, these entry and transport mechanisms mirror those used by misfolded proteins implicated in neurodegenerative diseases. Our findings establish the mechanics of reovirus neuronal uptake and spread and provide clues about therapeutic targets to limit neuropathology inflicted by pathogens and misfolded proteins.

Abstract
Use of microfluidic devices to compartmentalize cultured neurons has become a standard method in neuroscience. This protocol shows how to use a pre-assembled multi-compartment chip made in a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) to compartmentalize neurons differentiated from human stem cells. The footprint of these COC chips are the same as a standard microscope slide and are equally compatible with high resolution microscopy. Neurons are differentiated from human neural stem cells (NSCs) into glutamatergic neurons within the chip and maintained for 5 weeks, allowing sufficient time for these neurons to develop synapses and dendritic spines. Further, we demonstrate multiple common experimental procedures using these multi-compartment chips, including viral labeling, establishing microenvironments, axotomy, and immunocytochemistry.

Abstract
Members of the TNF and TNF receptor superfamilies acting by both forward and reverse signaling are increasingly recognized as major physiological regulators of axon growth and tissue innervation in development. Studies of the experimentally tractable superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons and their targets have shown that only TNF reverse signaling, not forward signaling, is a physiological regulator of sympathetic innervation. Here, we compared SCG neurons and their targets with prevertebral ganglion (PVG) neurons and their targets. Whereas all SCG targets were markedly hypoinnervated in both TNF-deficient and TNFR1-deficient mice, PVG targets were not hypoinnervated in these mice and one PVG target, the spleen, was significantly hyperinnervated. These in vivo regional differences in innervation density were related to in vitro differences in the responses of SCG and PVG neurons to TNF reverse and forward signaling. Though TNF reverse signaling enhanced SCG axon growth, it did not affect PVG axon growth. Whereas activation of TNF forward signaling in PVG axons inhibited growth, TNF forward signaling could not be activated in SCG axons. These latter differences in the response of SCG and PVG axons to TNF forward signaling were related to TNFR1 expression, whereas PVG axons expressed TNFR1, SCG axons did not. These results show that both TNF reverse and forward signaling are physiological regulators of sympathetic innervation in different tissues.
