Tyramide Signal-Amplified Immunofluorescence of MYCN and MYC in Human Tissue Specimens and Cell Line Cultures

[Abstract]  MYC family members, MYC, MYCN, and MYCL, are oncogenic transcription factors that regulate the expression of genes involved in normal development, cell growth, proliferation, metabolism, and survival. While MYC is amplified and/or overexpressed across a variety of tissue types, MYCN is often overexpressed in tumors of the nervous system (neuroblastoma and medulloblastoma) or with neuroendocrine features (neuroendocrine prostate cancer). Given recent reports that MYCN expression is also deregulated in a variety of non-neuronal tissue types, we investigated whether MYCN was also deregulated in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). In contrast to previous individual immuno-fluorescence (IF) stains against higher expressing MYC family isoform protein, we developed an IF stain to ... [摘要]  [摘要] MYC家族成员MYC、MYCN和MYCL是一类致癌转录因子,它们调节与正常发育、细胞生长、增殖、代谢和生存有关的基因的表达。虽然MYC在多种组织类型中扩增和/或过度表达,但MYCN通常在神经系统肿瘤(神经母细胞瘤和髓母细胞瘤)或具有神经内分泌特征(神经内分泌前列腺癌)中过度表达。鉴于最近的报道,MYCN在多种非神经元组织中的表达也被解除了调控,我们研究了MYCN在三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)中是否也被解除了调控。与以往针对高表达MYC家族亚型蛋白的个体免疫荧光(IF)染色不同,我们开发了一种IF染色法来同时检测同一肿瘤细胞群中MYCN-和MYC表达细胞。我们的方法允许检测低水平的MYCN和MYC表达,并且可以与额外的蛋白质探针复合。在此,我们利用酪酰胺信号放大(TSA),提出了两种检测MYCN和MYC的方案,用于在福尔马林固定石蜡包埋(FFPE)肿瘤切片和生长后原位固定的细胞系中检测MYCN和MYC。

Optic Nerve Crush in Mice to Study Retinal Ganglion Cell Survival and Regeneration

[Abstract]  In diseases such as glaucoma, the failure of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) neurons to survive or regenerate their optic nerve axons underlies partial and, in some cases, complete vision loss. Optic nerve crush (ONC) serves as a useful model not only of traumatic optic neuropathy but also of glaucomatous injury, as it similarly induces RGC cell death and degeneration. Intravitreal injection of adeno-associated virus serotype 2 (AAV2) has been shown to specifically and efficiently transduce RGCs in vivo and has thus been proposed as an effective means of gene delivery for the treatment of glaucoma. Indeed, we and others routinely use AAV2 to study the mechanisms that promote neuroprotection and axon regeneration in RGCs following ONC. Herein, we describe a step-by-step protocol to ... [摘要]  [摘要 ] 在青光眼等疾病中,视网膜神经节细胞(RGC)神经元无法存活或无法再生视神经轴突,这是部分视力丧失的原因,在某些情况下,甚至是完全的视力丧失。视神经挤压术(ONC)不仅可以作为创伤性视神经病变的一种有用模型,而且还可以作为青光眼损伤的有用模型,因为它类似地诱导RGC细胞死亡和变性。腺相关病毒血清型2(AAV2)的玻璃体内注射已被证明特别地和有效地转导视网膜神经节细胞在体内和已因而被提出作为基因递送用于治疗青光眼的治疗的有效手段。确实,我们和其他人常规使用AAV2来研究促进ONC 后RGC中神经保护和轴突再生的机制。本文中,我们描述了分步操作的方案,以测定AAV2介导的转导和ONC损伤后小鼠中RGC的存活和再生,包括1)玻璃体内注射AAV2病毒载体,2)视神经挤压,3)霍乱毒素B (CTB)标记再生轴突,4)视神经清除,5)视网膜平面免疫染色和6)定量RGC存活和再生。除了提供执行此协议所需的所有材料和程序详细信息之外,我们还强调了它比其他相似的已发表方法的优势,并提供了有用的技巧以确保其在任何现代实验室中都能如实复制。

[背景 ] 青光眼是世界范围内不可逆失​​明的主要原因,其特征是视网膜神经节细胞(RGCs)逐渐退化和丧失,这是构成连接视网膜与大脑的视神经的中央投射神经元(Quigley ,2011 ; Tham ...

Image-Based Analysis of Mitochondrial Area and Counting from Adult Mouse Dopaminergic Neurites

[Abstract]  Mitochondria form dynamic cytoplasmic networks which undergo morphological changes in order to adapt to cellular stresses and signals. These changes can include alterations in size and number within a given cell. Analysis of the whole network can be a useful metric to assess overall mitochondrial health, particularly in neurons, which are highly sensitive to mitochondrial dysfunction. Here we describe a method which combines immunofluorescence and computerized image analysis to measure mitochondrial morphology (quantification of number, density, and area) in dopaminergic neurites of mice expressing mitochondrially-targeted eYFP. [摘要]  线粒体形成动态细胞质网络,其经历形态变化以适应细胞应激和信号。 这些变化可以包括给定单元内的大小和数量的改变。 分析整个网络可以是评估整体线粒体健康的有用指标,特别是在对线粒体功能障碍高度敏感的神经元中。 在这里,我们描述了一种方法,它结合免疫荧光和计算机图像分析,以测量表达线粒体靶向eYFP的小鼠的多巴胺能神经突的线粒体形态(数量,密度和面积的量化)。

【背景】 线粒体是存在于每个复杂生物的基本上所有细胞中的双膜细胞器。它们的主要功能是提供大部分细胞能量作为ATP,但它们也在细胞凋亡,缓冲细胞内Ca 2 + ,活性氧物质产生和膜电位调节中发挥作用(Neupert和Herrmann, 2007; Hamanaka和Chandel,2010; Shutt和McBride,2013)。

这些细胞器通常被描述为单个“豆状”结构,实际上是动态细胞质网络的组成部分。它们可以经历由膜融合和裂变的动态过程调节的主要形态变化,该过程被认为涉及通过称为线粒体自噬的过程消除功能障碍的细胞器。线粒体网络也可以作为对高细胞能量需求的响应而增加(Sheng,2017; Devine和Kittler,2018)。线粒体网络的形态可以根据不同的应激源而改变,并且存在多种可能的形态,即细胞类型,甚至细胞室依赖性(Picard et al。,2013 ...
