[Abstract]  Release and recycling of synaptic vesicles are essential for neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity. To gain mechanistic understanding of these processes, direct measurements of vesicle release and retrieval is indispensable. Styryl dyes like FM1-43 and FM4-64 have been widely used for this purpose and their loading and unloading are reliable measurements for synaptic vesicle release and retrieval in cultured neurons. This protocol describes in detail the procedure of using styryl dyes to label and measure synaptic vesicle uptake and release in cultured rat hippocampal neurons. We also include a brief description of hippocampal culture. In the end, we briefly discuss the commonality and difference among FM dye, pH-sensitive fluorescent proteins and quantum dots in terms of measuring ... [摘要]  突触小泡的释放和再循环对于神经传递和突触可塑性是至关重要的。 为了获得对这些过程的机械理解,直接测量囊泡释放和回收是必不可少的。 苯乙烯基染料如FM1-43和FM4-64已被广泛用于此目的,其装载和卸载是可靠的测量突触小泡释放和恢复培养的神经元。 该协议详细描述了使用苯乙烯基染料来标记和测量培养的大鼠海马神经元中的突触小泡摄取和释放的程序。 我们还包括对海马文化的简要描述。 最后,我们简要讨论FM染料,pH敏感荧光蛋白和量子点在测量突触小泡行为方面的共性和差异。
【背景】突触小泡是神经传递不可或缺的,因为它们是化学突触中负责神经递质释放的唯一细胞器。它们的数量,释放概率,融合动力学和再循环路线定义了突触传递和神经元交流。已经开发了多种用于探测突触囊泡的工具,包括突触后神经元的电生理学记录,膜运输的电容测量,可氧化的发射体的电流分析,固定突触的电子显微镜成像以及活神经元中的囊泡标记的荧光成像。在所有现有的方法中,最后一个是不仅产生关于个体突触的空间和时间信息,而且提供高吞吐量(即,来自不同神经元的单个突触的更多数据点)的唯一方法。已经开发了基于不同定向和报告机制的各种荧光探针。二十多年前发明的苯乙烯基染料(即FM染料,包括FM1-43,FM4-64,FM5-95)仍然是一种可靠而方便的工具。由于其对脂质膜的中等亲和力及其对脂质敏感的排放,可以容易地装载到再循环的突触囊泡中并且当这些囊泡被胞吐出时释放。使用更敏感的光电探测器如EMCCD,FM染料可以报告单个囊泡释放事件。在这里,我们提供了一个相对完整的基于FM的啮齿动物海马神经元原代培养的突触小泡释放成像的描述。此外,我们还讨论了FM染料和其他荧光泡标签的共性和区别。 ...

[Abstract]  Liver stem/progenitor cells (LPCs) are defined as bipotential cells differentiating into both hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. For analyzing their differentiation potential, clonal culture has been used for LPCs isolated by a cell sorter. In addition, we can use the culture to assess functions of target genes on differentiation potential of LPCs. This protocol describes the process of cell isolation and colony assay to examine proliferative and differentiation potential of LPCs. [摘要]  肝干/祖细胞(LPC)被定义为分化成肝细胞和胆管细胞的双能细胞。 为了分析其分化潜力,克隆培养已经用于通过细胞分选仪分离的LPC。 此外,我们可以使用文化来评估目标基因的功能分化潜力的LPCs。 该协议描述细胞分离和集落分析的过程,以检查增殖和分化潜力的LPCs。

[Abstract]  TGFβ is part of a growth factor superfamily which modulates cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, migration, ECM synthesis and apoptosis (Massague, 1998; Siegel and Massague, 2003). Free TGFβ binds to its high affinity TGFβ receptor, a receptor serine/threonine kinase, inducing phosphorylation of Smad2/3 which subsequently forms a complex with Smad4 to translocate to the nucleus where it interacts with multiple co-activators and repressors generating distinct transcriptional responses.

Indeed, TGFβ signaling shows a remarkable cellular context dependency and apparent multifunctionality: e.g. TGFβ is able to inhibit cell proliferation in many epithelial cells but can also enhance proliferation in fibroblasts and cell growth in endothelial cells (Guasch et al., ...
[摘要]  TGFβ是调节细胞生长,分化,粘附,迁移,ECM合成和凋亡的生长因子超家族的一部分(Massague,1998; Siegel和Massague,2003)。游离TGFβ结合到其高亲和力TGFβ受体,一种受体丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶,诱导Smad2/3的磷酸化,随后与Smad4形成复合物转移到细胞核,其中它与多种共激活剂和阻遏物相互作用产生不同的转录反应。实际上,TGFβ信号传导显示出显着的细胞环境依赖性和表观多功能性:例如TGFβ能够抑制许多上皮细胞中的细胞增殖,但也可以增强成纤维细胞中的增殖和内皮细胞中的细胞生长(Guasch等人,2007; Xiao等人,2012年);它增强干细胞多能性,但促进其他细胞的分化(Park,2011);在癌症发展中,它抑制恶变前细胞增殖,但同时促进转移到转移表型(Chaudhury和Howe,2009)。
TGFβ刺激测定监测细胞对TGFβ的反应性。在TGFβ刺激时,可以分析短期效应例如Smad2磷酸化和长期效应例如细胞增殖。将描述用于小鼠角质形成细胞的测定,其中TGFβ强烈抑制细胞增殖,但是这两种测定也适用于其它细胞类型。
