Time-lapse sequence showing activation and directional migration of MG into the pyramidal cell
body layer (SP) in an acutely isolated neonatal mouse hippocampal tissue slice. MG in the
stratum radiatum (SR) near the SP (lower right) polarize and migrate directionally into the SP.
Note the slow wave of activation that progresses away from the SP through the SR (lower right to
upper left). Total time is ~4hr.

Two-channel time-lapse imaging shows IB4-labeled MG (green) engaging nuclei of injured/dead
neurons (red). (A) is a still image showing the relative position of fields ‘B’ and ‘C’. (B) Time-lapse
sequence starting ~3.5 hr after tissue excision. (C) Time-lapse sequence starting ~6.5 hr
after tissue excision. Note that MG appear to engulf the dead cell nuclei.

Apyrase inhibits MG motility and migration in neonatal tissue slices. High magnification, timelapse sequence shows highly mobile MG in and near the CA3 pyramidal cell body layer (SP).
During the baseline, MG are highly locomotory. Application of apyrase (100 U/ml) inhibits MG
movements. Following washout, MG movements rapidly recover. Total time = ~6 hr.

IB4-Microglia
3 hr
Time-lapse sequence showing diffusion of BodipyTR-ADP (100mM) from exterior of tissue slice
(intense red region at left) to interior of slice (stratum radiatum, SR). Imaging starts shortly after
application of ADP. Note the subtle increase in red fluorescence in the central and right portion of
the field of view, especially during the first 60 min. In response to diffusion of ADP into the slice,
microglia (green) in the SP and SR move toward the edge of the tissue slice.

ADP (10hr)
(from the start)
Time-lapse sequence showing directed branch extension followed by migration in response to
exogenous ADP (1mM). ADP was applied to the slice immediately after excision, and imaging
commenced 1hr later. When ADP is first applied at early stages of activation (as here), MG first
extend long branches directed toward the source of ADP at the edge of the tissue slice (below
and to the right). Subsequently, MG in the SP and SR migrate past the injured neurons in the SP
(not labeled) and accumulate at the edge of the tissue slice. Total sequence time is ~10hr.

Washout (2 hr)
ATP (4.5 hr)
Washout (5.5 hr)
Time-lapse sequence showing sequential responses of MG to application of apyrase and ATP in a
neonatal rat hippocampal tissue slice. During the baseline, note the migration of MG and their
accumulation near injured CA3 pyramidal neurons in the SP. Application of apyrase (indicated in
upper right corner) inhibits MG movements. Following application of ATP (1mM), MG are drawn
away from injured neurons in the SP and move toward the edge of the tissue slice (just below field
of view). Following washout of ATP, MG show a low level of undirected movements.
