[Abstract]  Microglia are professional phagocytes in the brain and deficiency in their phagocytic activity plays an important role in Parkinson’s disease. This protocol mainly describes the phagocytosis assay for uptake of α-synuclein preformed fibrils, a pathologic form of α-synuclein, by primary microglia. [摘要]  小胶质细胞是大脑中的专业吞噬细胞,其吞噬活性的缺乏在帕金森病中起重要作用。 该方案主要描述了通过原代小胶质细胞摄取α-突触核蛋白预先形成的原纤维(α-突触核蛋白的病理形式)的吞噬作用测定。

【背景】作为大脑的免疫细胞,小胶质细胞在中枢神经系统中起着关键作用。在生理状态下,小胶质细胞不断探索周围环境并参与突触修剪。小胶质细胞可被任何类型的病理事件或脑内稳态的变化激活(Wolf et al。,2017)。激活后,小胶质细胞经历形态学变化,增殖,分泌炎性细胞因子,迁移至病变部位,吞噬病原体,病细胞,碎片,甚至细胞外蛋白质聚集体(Kettenmann et al。,2011; Fu et al。,2014)。 α-突触核蛋白是神经元中的丰富蛋白质,并且是帕金森病中称为路易体和路易神经突的神经元内包涵体的主要成分(Luk 等人,,2012)。最近的研究表明α-突触核蛋白经历细胞间扩散,小胶质细胞是α-突触核蛋白的主要清除剂,它可能承担来自神经元的α-突触核蛋白的负担(Wolf et al。,2017 )。在这里,我们描述了使用人α-突触核蛋白单体产生预先形成的原纤维并通过小胶质细胞吞噬作用测量α-突触核蛋白预先形成的原纤维的摄取的方案(Du et al。,2017)。

Antisense Oligonucleotide-mediated Knockdown in Mammary Tumor Organoids

[Abstract]  Primary mammary tumor organoids grown in 3D are an excellent system to study tumor biology. They resemble the organization and physiology of native epithelia more closely than cancer cell lines grown in 2D, and additionally model interactions with the ECM (Boj et al., 2015; Clevers, 2016; Shamir and Ewald, 2014). Mammary tumor organoids are therefore a promising model system to identify and characterize novel drivers of breast cancer that would be unlikely to be identified using 2D cell lines. Antisense oligonucleotides can be used to efficiently and specifically knockdown target genes in the cell (Bennett et al., 2017). They can be taken up freely by organoids without the need for a transfection agent, making them a convenient tool for routine lab studies and screens. [摘要]  在3D生长的原发性乳腺肿瘤组织是研究肿瘤生物学的优秀系统。 它们类似于天然上皮的组织和生理学,比2D生长的癌细胞系更为紧密,另外还与ECM的模型相互作用(Boj et al。,2015; Clevers,2016; Shamir and Ewald,2014)。 因此,乳腺肿瘤组织因子是一种有希望的模型系统,用于识别和表征不可能使用2D细胞系识别的乳腺癌的新型驱动因素。 反义寡核苷酸可用于有效和特异地敲低细胞中的靶基因(Bennett等,2017)。 它们可以被有机物自由摄取,而不需要转染剂,使其成为常规实验室研究和筛选的便捷工具。
【背景】乳腺癌是全世界妇女中最常见的恶性肿瘤,是妇女癌症死亡率的第二大原因(Siegel等,2017)。为了改善现有的治疗方案,确定和调查具有预防乳腺癌进展潜力的新分子靶标至关重要。我们应用RNA-seq来产生与正常乳腺上皮细胞相比在原发性乳腺肿瘤中失调的长非编码RNA(lncRNA)的综合目录,并将30个先前未表征的lncRNA作为乳腺肿瘤相关RNA(MaTARs)进行优先排序。为了功能评估MaTARs作为肿瘤进展的关键驱动因素,我们对3D乳腺肿瘤组织中的所有30个MaTARs进行了反义寡核苷酸(ASO)介导的敲低分析(Diermeier等,2016)。
   ASO是短(20-mers),含有硫代磷酸酯修饰的核苷酸的单链DNA分子以及2'-ribose(5-10-5 ...

In vitro Treatment of Mouse and Human Cells with Endogenous Ligands for Activation of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor

[Abstract]  Activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) by endogenous ligands has been implicated in a variety of physiological processes such as cell cycle regulation, cell differentiation and immune responses. It is reported that tryptophan metabolites, such as kynurenine (Kyn) and 6-formylindolo(3,2-b)carbazole (FICZ), are endogenous ligands for AHR (Stockinger et al., 2014). This protocol is designed for treatment with Kyn or FICZ in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) or primary peripheral monocytes. [摘要]  通过内源性配体活化芳基烃受体(AHR)已涉及多种生理过程,如细胞周期调控,细胞分化和免疫应答。据报道,色氨酸代谢物,如犬尿胆碱(Kyn)和6-甲基吲哚(3,2-b)咔唑(FICZ)是AHR的内源性配体(Stockinger等人,2014)。该方案设计用于在小鼠胚胎成纤维细胞(MEF)或初级周边单核细胞中用Kyn或FICZ进行治疗。

背景 色氨酸代谢物如Kyn和FICZ是生理条件下AHR的内源性配体。 Kyn由色氨酸-2,3-双加氧酶(TDO)和/或吲哚胺-2,3-双加氧酶1和2(IDO1 / 2)产生,并有助于抑制抗肿瘤反应和恶性进展(Stockinger等人,2014)。 ...
