[Abstract] The stable HBV-transfected cell lines, which based on stable integration of replication-competent HBV genome into hepatic cells, are widely used in basic research and antiviral drug evaluation against HBV. However, previous reported strategies to generate HBV-replicating cell lines, which primarily rely on random integration of exogenous DNA by plasmid transfection, are inefficient and time-consuming. We newly developed an all-in-one Sleeping Beauty transposon system (denoted pTSMP-HBV vector) for robust generation of stable HBV-replicating cell lines of different genotype. The pTSMP-HBV vector contains HBV 1.3-copy genome and dual selection markers (mCherry and puromycin resistance gene), allowing rapid enrichment of stably-transfected cells via red fluorescence-activated cell sorting ...
[摘要] 稳定的HBV转染细胞系基于将复制能力的HBV基因组稳定整合到肝细胞中,广泛用于基础研究和针对HBV的抗病毒药物评估。然而,先前报道的产生HBV复制细胞系的策略(其主要依赖于通过质粒转染的外源DNA的随机整合)是低效且耗时的。我们新开发了一体化睡眠美容转座子系统(表示为pTSMP-HBV载体),用于稳定产生不同基因型的稳定HBV复制细胞系。 pTSMP-HBV载体含有HBV1.3拷贝基因组和双重选择标记(mCherry和嘌呤霉素抗性基因),允许通过红色荧光激活细胞分选和嘌呤霉素抗生素选择快速富集稳定转染的细胞。在该方案中,我们描述了构建HBV复制稳定细胞和系统评估这些细胞的HBV复制和病毒蛋白表达谱的详细程序。
【背景】慢性乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染目前是一个主要的公共卫生负担,影响全球超过2.4亿人(Witt-Kehati et al。,2016)。慢性HBV患者患慢性活动性肝炎,肝硬化或原发性肝细胞癌(HCC)的风险升高(Schweitzer et al。,2015)。目前用干扰素-α或核苷类似物治疗并不能根除病毒,它们对清除乙型肝炎表面抗原(HBsAg)的作用有限(Lucifora和Protzer,2016; Soriano et al。,2017) 。因此,迫切需要开发新的抗病毒抑制剂(Nassal,2015)。
用于评估新药抗HBV活性的细胞培养模型是新药开发的重要工具。稳定的HBV复制细胞系,携带复制能力的HBV基因组稳定整合到人肝癌细胞系(Huh7和/或HepG2)的基因组中,被广泛用于评估抗病毒药物的作用(Witt-Kehati ...

[Abstract] Specialized secretory cells known as goblet cells in the intestine and respiratory epithelium are responsible for the secretion of mucins. Mucins are large heavily glycosylated proteins and typically have a molecular mass higher than 106 Da. These large proteins are densely substituted with short glycan chains, which have many important functional roles including determining the hydration and viscoelastic properties of the mucus gel that lines and protects the intestinal epithelium. In this protocol, we comprehensively describe the method for extraction of murine mucus and its analysis by agarose gel electrophoresis. Additionally we describe the use of High Iron Diamine-Alcian Blue, Periodic Acid Schiff’s-Alcian Blue and immune–staining methods to identify and differentiate ...
[摘要] 在肠和呼吸上皮中称为杯状细胞的专门分泌细胞负责粘蛋白的分泌。 粘蛋白是大的重糖基化蛋白质,通常具有高于10μM的分子量。 这些大蛋白质被短聚糖链密集取代,其具有许多重要的功能作用,包括测定粘液凝胶的水合和粘弹性质,其保护肠上皮。 在该方案中,我们全面地描述了通过琼脂糖凝胶电泳提取小鼠粘液的方法及其分析。 此外,我们描述了使用高铁二胺 - 阿尔星蓝,周期酸席夫氏 - 阿尔辛蓝和免疫染色方法来鉴别和区分这些粘蛋白糖蛋白上糖基化的不同状态,特别是侧重于硫酸化和唾液酸化。 【背景】一层粘液保护肠上皮,主要由粘蛋白,水,蛋白质和无机盐组成。粘液屏障的粘性和凝胶状特性使其能够物理保护和润滑粘膜,主要由粘蛋白赋予。粘蛋白是大的重糖基化蛋白质,通常具有高于10μM的分子量。然而,粘蛋白主要用O-聚糖糖装饰,其占分子量的80%。不同的位点特异性和粘蛋白特异性糖基化模式影响粘蛋白和粘液凝胶的性质。众所周知,粘蛋白糖基化在感染和疾病中发生改变(Arike等人,2017; ...
