Abstract: Satellite glial cells surround neurons within dorsal root ganglia.Previous studies have focused on single-cell suspensions of cultured neurons derived from rat dorsal root ganglia.At present,the primary culture method for satellite glial cells derived from rat dorsal root ganglia requires no digestion skill.Hence,the aim of the present study was to establish a novel primary culture method for satellite glial cells derived from dorsal root ganglia.Neonatal rat spine was collected and an incision made to expose the transverse protrusion and remove dorsal root ganglia.Dorsal root ganglia were freed from nerve fibers,connective tissue,and capsule membranes,then rinsed and transferred to 6-well plates,and cultured in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator at 37℃.After 3 days in culture,some cells had migrated from dorsal root ganglia.After subculture,cells were identified by immunofluorescence labeling for three satellite glial cell-specific markers:glutamine synthetase,glial fibrillary acidic protein,and S 1003.Cultured cells expressed glutamine synthetase,glial fibrillary acidic protein,and S100β,suggesting they are satellite glial cells with a purity of > 95%.Thus,we have successfully established a novel primary culture method for obtaining high-purity satellite glial cells from rat dorsal root ganglia without digestion.
