![Gi designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADD) inhibition of microglia blocks alcohol-induced neuronal cell death. A – D: Organotypic brain slice cultures (OBSCs) from CX3CR1.Cre ERT2 <t>.hM4di.mCitrine</t> (+/–) mice were used to assess the role of microglia on neuronal death ex vivo. A: Representative image with or without addition of 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (4-OH-TAM; 10 ng/mL) to induce Cre recombination, which caused a robust increase in mCitrine within ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1) + microglia, consistent with microglial DREADD expression. Arrowheads denote colocalization between Iba-1 and mCitrine. B: Representative images of propidium iodide (PI) labeling of cell death in OBSC in response to ethanol. C: Ethanol (EtOH; 100 mmol/L; 4 days) caused a robust increase in cell death 24 hours into withdrawal, which was significantly blocked by microglial Gi signaling induced by clozapine N-oxide [CNO; two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) main effect of ethanol F 1,20 = 11.37, P = 0.003; Sidak post test]. D and E: Induction of hM4Di Gi DREADD inhibition of microglia in vivo . CX3CR1.Cre ERT2 .hM4Di (+/–) mice received 10 days of water or binge ethanol (5 g/kg per day; intragastric) with or without CNO (3 mg/kg; intraperitoneally; 10 hours after ethanol). Assessments were performed 24 hours following the final treatment. D: Representative images of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) cell death stain in orbitofrontal cortex. E: Ethanol increased TUNEL + cell death by approximately threefold, which was prevented by Gi DREADD inhibition of proinflammatory microglia (two-way ANOVA, EtOH × CNO interaction F 1,16 = 8.5, P = 0.01; Sidak post test). N = 3 control and CNO slices ( C ); N = 10 ethanol slices ( C ); N = 8 ethanol + CNO slices ( C ); N = 4 water + phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) mice and water + CNO mice ( D and E ); N = 6 ethanol + PBS mice and ethanol + CNO mice ( D and E ). ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01.
