[Abstract]  

With the advent of CRISPR-Cas and the ability to easily modify the genome of diverse organisms, rat models are being increasingly developed to interrogate the genetic events underlying mammary development and tumorigenesis. Protocols for the isolation and characterization of mammary epithelial cell subpopulations have been thoroughly developed for mouse and human tissues, yet there is an increasing need for rat-specific protocols. To date, there are no standard protocols for isolating rat mammary epithelial subpopulations. Analyzing changes in the rat mammary hierarchy will help us elucidate the molecular events in breast cancer, the cells of origin for breast cancer subtypes, and the impact of the tumor microenvironment. Here we describe several methods developed for 1) rat mammary

[摘要]  [摘要]随着CRISPR-Cas的出现以及能够轻松修饰各种生物的基因组的能力,越来越多地开发大鼠模型来询问乳腺发育和肿瘤发生的遗传事件。已经为小鼠和人类组织彻底开发了用于分离和表征乳腺上皮细胞亚群的方案,但是对大鼠特异性方案的需求却在不断增长。迄今为止,还没有用于分离大鼠乳腺上皮亚群的标准方案。分析大鼠乳腺层次的变化将有助于我们阐明乳腺癌中的分子事件,乳腺癌亚型的起源细胞以及肿瘤微环境的影响。在这里,我们描述为1)大鼠乳腺上皮细胞分离开发的几种方法;2)大鼠乳腺成纤维细胞分离;3)培养大鼠乳腺上皮细胞;通过4)流式细胞仪分析和鉴定大鼠乳腺细胞;5)免疫荧光。源自该协议的细胞可用于多种目的,包括RNAseq ,药物研究,功能测定,基因/蛋白质表达分析和图像分析。


[背景]大多数与乳腺有关的研究都是在小鼠模型和人体样品中进行的。然而,由于其具有类似于人的药代动力学特征和乳腺发育,该疾病的大鼠模型正变得越来越流行(Russo等人,1990;Jiunn等人,2008; Smalley等人,2016)。像人类腺癌一样,大鼠乳腺癌也经历组织学发展阶段(Russo等,1990; Singh等,2000),并且是卵巢激素依赖性的(Thompson等,1998; ...

[Abstract]  Histone modifications are a group of post-translational modifications on histones which can alter chromatin structure and affect gene expression. Histone ubiquitination is a histone modification found in particular on histone H2A and H2B. Histone ubiquitination can be reversed by ubiquitin-specific proteases (UBP). Here, we describe an in vivo assay for histone deubiquitination activity. After infiltrating UBP12 into Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, H2Aub was visualized by immunocytochemistry. Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, which show high agro infiltration efficiency, were used for transient UBP12 expression for a labor- and time-saving protocol. Reduced H2Aub levels indicated histone deubiquitination activity of UBP12. The clear visualization of nuclei of N. ... [摘要]  组蛋白修饰是一组组蛋白翻译后修饰,可以改变染色质结构并影响基因表达。组蛋白泛素化是组蛋白H2A和H2B特异性发现的组蛋白修饰。泛素特异性蛋白酶(UBP)可以逆转组蛋白泛素化。在这里,我们描述了组蛋白去泛素化活性的体内试验。在将UBP12渗入烟草叶片中后,通过免疫细胞化学观察H2Aub。表现出高的农业渗透效率的本氏烟草叶用于瞬时UBP12表达,用于节省劳力和时间的方案。 H2Aub水平降低表明UBP12的组蛋白去泛素化活性。 N的核的清晰可视化。本生叶使得该方法能够通过使用特异性抗体容易地测量体内组蛋白修饰的水平,从而提供强大的蛋白质功能线索。因此,该协议是组蛋白去泛素化活性的体外试验的有力补充。

【背景】组蛋白修饰在调节染色质结构和基因表达中发挥重要作用。 研究最深入的组蛋白修饰包括甲基化,乙酰化,磷酸化,泛素化和sumoylation。 然而,引入或去除特定组蛋白修饰的酶并不总是已知的。 强大的体外试验可以确定组蛋白修饰酶的催化潜能,但是体内试验方法对于确认体外试验的特异性反映抗体的特异性是必要的。 体内活动。 在这里,我们描述了一个灵活的协议来测试植物组织中组蛋白修饰酶的活性。本塞姆氏。 尽管我们使用该方案来测试遍在蛋白特异性蛋白酶(UBP)对泛素化H2A的活性,但它也可以容易地用于其他特异性抗体可用的组蛋白修饰。
