Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Killing Assay of Candida albicans

[Abstract]   Fungal pathogen Candida albicans is one of the top leading causes of overall healthcare-associated bloodstream infections worldwide. Neutrophil is the major effector cell to clear C. albicans infection. Our study showed that mouse neutrophils utilize two independent mechanisms to kill C. albicans: one is CR3 downstream NADPH oxidase-dependent mechanism that kills opsonized C. albicans; the other one is dectin-2-mediated NADPH oxidase-independent neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) that kills unopsonized C. albicans. Neutrophil killing of opsonized C. albicans requires phagocytosing the organism and production of reactive oxygen species production (ROS). Most existing protocols that assay for neutrophil killing of C. albicans requires ... [摘要]  [摘要 ] 丰人病原体念珠菌白色念珠菌是顶级领先的原因之一全球总卫生保健相关血流感染。中性粒细胞是清除白色念珠菌感染的主要效应细胞。我们的研究表明,小鼠中性粒细胞利用两种独立的机制杀死白念珠菌:一种是CR3下游NADPH氧化酶依赖性机制,它可以杀死调理过的白色念珠菌。另一个是dectin-2介导的NADPH氧化酶非依赖性中性粒细胞胞外捕获物(NET),它杀死未调理的白色念珠菌。中性粒细胞杀死调理过的白色念珠菌 需要吞噬生物体并产生活性氧(ROS)。大多数现有的协议的测定中性粒细胞杀死白色念珠菌需要使嗜中性粒细胞吞噬生物体后洗涤步骤。根据定义,NET在细胞外杀死生物。因此,重要的是要跳过洗涤步骤,并向孔中添加最佳比例的嗜中性白细胞和白色念珠菌。为了证明NET的作用,有必要比较用微球菌核酸酶(MNase )(一种消化NET的酶)处理的嗜中性粒细胞的杀伤能力与用热灭活的MNase 处理的嗜中性粒细胞的杀伤能力。MNase 还用于释放与NET绑定的真菌元素以进行计数。该协议可用于测定其他生物膜形成生物的NET杀灭。

[Abstract]  Diatoms are an ecologically important group of eukaryotic microalgae with properties that make them attractive for biotechnological applications such as biofuels, foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a model diatom with defined culture conditions, but routine genetic manipulations are hindered by a lack of simple and robust genetic tools. One obstacle to efficient engineering of P. tricornutum is that the current selection methods for P. tricornutum transformants depend on the use of a limited number of antibiotic resistance genes. An alternative and more cost-effective selection method would be to generate auxotrophic strains of P. tricornutum by knocking out key genes involved in amino acid biosynthesis, and using ... [摘要]  硅藻是一种具有重要生态意义的真核微藻类,其特性使其对生物燃料,食品,化妆品和药品等生物技术应用具有吸引力。 Phaeodactylum tricornutum 是具有确定培养条件的模型硅藻,但缺乏简单而强大的遗传工具阻碍了常规遗传操作。有效设计 P的一个障碍。 tricornutum 是 P的当前选择方法。 tricornutum 转化体依赖于使用有限数量的抗生素抗性基因。另一种更具成本效益的选择方法是产生 P的营养缺陷型菌株。通过敲除参与氨基酸生物合成的关键基因,并使用基于质粒的生物合成基因拷贝作为选择标记,使三角酵母。以前关于 P基因敲除的研究。 tricornutum 使用biolistic转换将CRISPR-Cas9系统传递到 P.藻。非复制质粒的生物射弹转化可导致对 P的不期望的损伤。由于转化的DNA随机整合到基因组中,tricornutum 。随后固化编辑的细胞以防止Cas9的长期过表达是非常困难的,因为目前没有方法来切除整合的质粒。该协议采用新方法将Cas9或TevCas9系统传送到 P. tricornutum 通过来自细菌供体细胞的质粒的缀合。该过程涉及:1)设计和插入靶向 P的guideRNA。将tricornutum 尿素酶基因导入TevCas9表达质粒,该质粒也编码转移的接合起点,2)将该质粒安装在含有含有接合机制的质粒(pTA-Mob)的大肠杆菌中, ...
