Chronic neuroinflammation has long been considered to be a central factor in accelerating the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's diseases, Parkinson's disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Under pathological conditions microglia produce inflammatory signaling molecules, such as nitric oxide (NO), that can damage DNA and proteins and ultimately induce neuronal apoptosis. One strategy for treating neurodegenerative diseases is to specifically target NO production through inhibition of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). However, accurately measuring changes in microglial NO production in response to potential therapeutics is challenging due to NO's short half-life and microglial heterogeneity. In this paper we report the application of a microfluidic device for the high-throughput measurement of intracellular NO in SIM-A9 microglial cells. NO production was measured in response to treatment with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and interferon gamma (IFN-γ) with and without a potent iNOS inhibitor (1400 W dihydrochloride). Cells were labeled with a fluorogenic NO probe, 4-amino-5-methylamino-2',7'-difluorofluoescein diacetate (DAF-FM DA), and 6-carboxyfluorescein diacetate (6-CFDA) as an internal standard. Separation and quantitation of intracellular NO was achieved using microchip electrophoresis and laser induced fluorescence detection (LIF). Statistical analysis suggests that the populations fit a lognormal distribution and are better represented by their geometric mean values. Comparison of the geometric means indicated a 1.6-fold increase in NO production between untreated and stimulated cells and a decrease by a factor of approximately 0.5 comparing stimulated and inhibited cells. Additionally, we report experimental data demonstrating the improvement in the sensitivity of our integrated optical fiber-based detection system through the use of refractive index matching gel.
