Structural Analysis of Bordetella pertussis Biofilms by Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy

[Abstract]  Biofilms are sessile communities of microbial cells embedded in a self-produced or host-derived exopolymeric matrix. Biofilms can both be beneficial or detrimental depending on the surface. Compared to their planktonic counterparts, biofilm cells display enhanced resistance to killing by environmental threats, chemicals, antimicrobials and host immune defenses. When in biofilms, the microbial cells interact with each other and with the surface to develop architecturally complex multi-dimensional structures. Numerous imaging techniques and tools are currently available for architectural analyses of biofilm communities. This allows examination of biofilm development through acquisition of three-dimensional images that can render structural features of the sessile community. A frequently ... [摘要]  生物膜是嵌入自生或宿主衍生的外聚合物基质中的微生物细胞的固着群落。根据表面,生物膜可以是有益的或有害的。与浮游生物相比,生物膜细胞表现出更强的抗环境威胁,化学物质,抗菌药物和宿主免疫防御能力。当处于生物膜中时,微生物细胞彼此相互作用并与表面相互作用以形成结构复杂的多维结构。目前,许多成像技术和工具可用于生物膜群落的建筑分析。这允许通过获取可以呈现无柄群落的结构特征的三维图像来检查生物膜的发展。经常使用的工具是共聚焦激光扫描显微镜。我们提出了一个详细的协议,以生长,观察和分析呼吸道人类病原体,百日咳博德特氏菌的生物膜在空间和时间。

【背景】百日咳博德特氏菌(Bordetella pertussis)是上呼吸道的专性人类病原体,引起百日咳或百日咳(Mooi,2010; Dorji et al。,2018)。 B的生物膜。百日咳在各种人造表面上以及静态,摇动和流体流动条件下形成(Mishra et al。,2005; Sloan et al。,2007 ; Serra et al。,2011)。对这些生物膜的显微评估表明,这种细菌产生不规则形状的微集落,由流体通道分隔,嵌入由细胞外DNA(eDNA),蛋白质和多糖组成的外聚合物基质中(Parise et al。,2007; Sloan et al。,2007; Serra et al。,2008; ...

Combinations of Patch-Clamp and Confocal Calcium Imaging in Acutely Isolated Adult Mouse Amygdala Brain Slices

[Abstract]  Calcium imaging is a powerful technique in the study of neuronal physiology, as it avoids the enzyme treatment on neurons and is able to study the neuronal activities in vivo. Using calcium-imaging techniques, we are able to monitor the elevation of calcium in the neuron. Furthermore, we can combine calcium imaging with other methods, like whole-cell patch clamp recordings, to detect a single cell calcium signal in brain slices. In this protocol, we describe a detailed confocal imaging method that is combined with whole-cell patch clamp configuration using brain slices (Du et al., 2017). [摘要]  钙成像是神经生理学研究中的一项强有力的技术,因为它避免了对神经元的酶处理,并且能够研究体内的神经元活动。 使用钙成像技术,我们能够监测神经元中钙的升高。 此外,我们可以将钙成像与其他方法结合起来,如全细胞膜片钳记录,以检测脑切片中的单细胞钙信号。 在该协议中,我们描述了一种详细的共焦成像方法,该方法与使用脑切片的全细胞膜片钳配置相结合(Du et al。,2017)。

【背景】几十年来,脑切片已成功用于研究突触,神经元和神经回路。许多实验操作已经应用于脑切片模型,例如药物应用,细胞内记录和光学成像。与培养的神经元相比,脑切片保留了神经元回路的许多基本功能特性。钙成像是一种广泛使用的技术,旨在表明分离的细胞和组织的细胞内钙(Ca 2 + )状态。研究脑组织中的细胞内钙可以深入了解各种生理过程,如细胞增殖,信号转导,突触可塑性和细胞死亡,因为钙浓度在这些功能中起着关键作用(Cameron et al。,2016)。钙指示剂是一种荧光分子,它与Ca 2 + ...

Labeling Aversive Memory Trace in Mouse Using a Doxycycline-inducible Expression System

[Abstract]  A memory trace, also known as a memory engram, is theorized to be a mechanism for physical memory storage in the brain (Silva et al., 2009; Josselyn, 2010) and memory trace is associated with a specific population of neurons (Liu et al., 2012; Ramirez et al., 2013). Labeling and stimulating those neurons will activate the memory trace (Liu et al., 2012; Ramirez et al., 2013). Memory appears to be spread over different regions of the brain rather than being localized to one area. Therefore, the methods used to trace memory have the ability to improve our understanding of neuronal circuits. In this protocol, we introduce a doxycycline-inducible expression system to label the specific neurons associated with the original memory trace. [摘要]  存储器跟踪(也称为存储器枚举)被理论化为大脑中物理存储器存储的机制(Silva等人,2009; Josselyn,2010),并且内存跟踪与一个 特定的神经元群体(Liu et al。,2012; Ramirez等人,2013)。 标记和刺激那些神经元将激活记忆痕迹(Liu et al。,2012; Ramirez等人,2013)。 记忆似乎分布在大脑的不同区域,而不是局限于一个区域。 因此,用于跟踪记忆的方法有能力提高我们对神经元电路的理解。 在本协议中,我们引入多西环素诱导表达系统来标记与原始记忆痕迹相关的特定神经元。
【背景】记忆痕迹是记忆被存储为大脑物理或生物化学变化的理论手段(Ryan等人,2015)。在二十世纪初德国动物学家理查德·塞蒙(Richard Semon)制定记忆追踪概念之后,记忆存储的具体过程一直是神经科学领域辩论的一个未解决的话题(Poo et al。,2016)。尽管记忆机制已经成为几十年来的争论焦点,但已经一致认为,特定的神经元被用于记忆的存储(Liu等人,2012; Ramirez等人, ...
