Bradley1 , Kile Magnin2 , Christian Kannemeier2 , Brad Swanson2 , Christopher J. Strock 1  \n1. Cyprotex US, LLC. Watertown, MA.  \n2. Cellular Dynamics International, A FujiFilm Company, Madison, WI  \n| Abstract\u003Cbr>The prediction of seizurogenic and neurotoxic compounds using microelectrode array (MEA) technology and rodent neuronal models has proven to be a very powerful tool. Early hiPSC derived neuronal models lacked complex burst organization, making electrophysiological neurotoxic prediction challenging when utilizing an MEA platform. Advancements in hiPSC neuronal models have addressed these disadvantages. Glutamatergic neurons were plated on 48-well MEA plates and maintained for up to three weeks at different densities with and without various ratios of GABAergic neurons and astrocytes. When cultured alone, the glutamatergic neurons demonstrate robust firing rates, burst organization and network characteristics within 2 weeks of plating. Spike train analyses indicate a significant maturation rate with a 100% increase in firing rate when plated with astrocytes and GABAergic neurons, 1200% increase in spikes that occur within bursts, and 200-400% increase in other burst and network organization endpoints (i.e. ISI CV, ISI Skewness) when comparing ~5 days post plating to ~ 15 days. We also evaluated these combinations for their response to the neurotoxin domoic acid, negative control DMSO (0 .2 %) and seizurogenic agents, picrotoxin, gabazine, 4-aminopyridine, SCN80 and strychnine. As expected, 10µM domoic acid caused a complete loss in spike activity while 0.2 % DMSO caused insignificant changes in activity. 4-aminopyridine decreased overall activity while increasing the burst length by 100% with an overall increase in burst organization. Both strychnine and SNC80 caused a unique dose response pattern with changes in spike/burst rates and a deleterious effect on burst and network organization. The GABAA antagonists, picrotoxin and gabazine, did not have robust responses in this study and require further evaluation. In conclusion, hiPS cell-derived glutamatergic neurons, alone, and in combination with hiPSC derived GABAergic neurons and astrocytes create a robust population of cells that are ideal for evaluating developmental patterns as well as responses to some neurotoxic/seizurogenic compounds when tested on a multi-well MEA platform. |\n| --- |\n| Cellular Dynamics International’s (CDI) GlutaNeurons, iCell Neurons, iCell Astrocytes\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>􀁺 iCell GlutaNeurons: iPS cell-derived human cortical neurons consisting primarily of 90% glutamatergic (excitatory) neurons.\u003Cbr>􀁺 iCell Neurons: iPS cell-derived mixed populations of human cortical neurons consisting of 95% GABAergic (inhibitory) neurons.\u003Cbr>􀁺 iCell Astrocytes: iPS cell-derived human astrocytes (>95% pure astrocytes) . |\n\nAxion BioSystems’Maestro Microelectrode Array (MEA) Platform  \nFigure 1A.The Maestro, Axion BioSystems. 768 recording channels with fully integrated heater and software controls.
