description | Astrocytes are a major type of glial cell in the mammalian brain, essentially regulating neuronal development and function. Quantitative imaging represents an important approach to study astrocytic signaling in neural circuits. Focusing on astrocytic Ca2+ activity, a key pathway implicated in astrocye-neuron interaction, we here report a strategy combining fast light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) and correlative screening-based time series analysis, to map activity domains in astrocytes in living mammalian nerve tissue. Light sheet of micron-scale thickness enables wide-field optical sectioning to image astrocytes in acute mouse brain slices. Using both chemical and genetically encoded Ca2+ indicators, we demonstrate the complementary advantages of LSFM in mapping Ca2+ domains in astrocyte populations as compared to epifluorescence and two-photon microscopy. Our approach then revealed distinct kinetics of Ca2+ signals between cortical and hypothalamic astrocytes in resting conditions and following the activation of adrenergic G protein coupled receptor (GPCR). This observation highlights the activity heterogeneity across regionally distinct astrocyte populations, and indicates the potential of our method for investigating dynamic signals in astrocytes. |
