In-vitro GLP-1 Release Assay Using STC-1 Cells

[Abstract]   Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are known chemosensors in the gastrointestinal (GI) epithelium. They release a diversity of gut hormones in response to various stimuli. Here, we report an in-vitro assay to measure GLP-1 release from cultured murine EEC’s under fatty acid stimulation. [摘要]  [摘要] 肠内分泌细胞(EEC)是胃肠道(GI)上皮中的已知化学传感器。它们响应各种刺激而释放多种肠激素。在这里,我们报告了一种体外测定法,以测量在脂肪酸刺激下培养的鼠EEC中GLP-1的释放。

[背景] 肠上皮是人体与环境之间最大的界面。该界面由单个上皮层组成,包含多个具有独特功能角色的不同细胞类型。与LGR5阳性上皮干细胞不同,肠内分泌细胞(EEC)沿整个胃肠道散布在整个上皮中。EEC通过产生和分泌多种激素,在对营养和其他刺激的反应中起关键作用。传统上,这些细胞是按照荷尔蒙特征来分类的(Nausheen 等人,2013; Latorre 等人,2016; Verhoeckx 等人,2015a),尽管随着单细胞RNA测序的到来,我们逐渐意识到这些细胞中的大多数分泌多种激素(Haber 等人,2017; Billing 等人,2019)。EEC的亚型L细胞由胰高血糖素样肽1和2(GLP-1和GLP-2)的产生定义,也可能分泌YY肽(PYY)和胰岛素样肽5(INSL5) 。大多数L细胞见于回肠末端和结肠,而另一些也见于十二指肠和空肠近端。L细胞表面的受体使它们能够直接感知管腔成分并产生适当的激素反应。L细胞上最显着的营养成分和食物成分受体是经典的味觉受体,游离脂肪酸受体以及蛋白质及其产物的受体(Drucker 和Nauck ,2006年;Furness ...

A Quantitative Single-cell Flow Cytometry Assay for Retrograde Membrane Trafficking Using Engineered Cholera Toxin

[Abstract]  The organization and distribution of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids in eukaryotic cells is an essential process for cell function. Retrograde trafficking from the plasma membrane to the Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum can greatly modify cell membrane composition and intracellular protein dynamics, and thus typifies a key sorting step. However, methods to efficiently quantify the extent or kinetics of these events are currently limited. Here, we describe a novel quantitative and effectively real-time single-cell flow cytometry assay to directly measure retrograde membrane transport. The assay takes advantage of the well-known retrograde trafficking of cholera toxin engineered with split-fluorescent proteins to generate novel tools for immediate monitoring of intracellular trafficking. ... [摘要]  [摘要]蛋白质、脂类和核酸在真核细胞中的组织和分布是细胞功能的重要过程。从质膜到高尔基体和内质网的逆向运输可以极大地改变细胞膜的组成和细胞内蛋白质的动态变化,因此是一个关键的分选步骤。然而,有效量化这些事件的程度或动力学的方法目前是有限的。在这里,我们描述了一种新的定量和有效的实时单细胞流式细胞术检测直接测量逆行膜转运。这项检测利用了众所周知的霍乱毒素逆行转移的特性,利用裂解荧光蛋白产生了新的工具,用于即时监测细胞内的转移。这种方法将大大扩展研究细胞内膜转运的生物学基础,以及细胞膜转运系统如何适应不同细胞类型和细胞状态的生理需要。

[背景]所有的真核细胞都依赖于它们动态地将分子分类和分离到膜结合的亚细胞器中的能力,以便组织和分配到细胞的特定区域。在这一过程中的一个重要步骤是早期分类内体和跨高尔基网络(TGN)。在从分选内体产生的其他贩运途径中,通过分泌途径到TGN的逆行贩运是一个关键的分选步骤(Johannes和Popoff,2008)。细胞膜蛋白和脂类发生逆向转运。从TGN到内质网(ER)的进一步逆行贩运可通过一些质膜脂质完成,并可巧妙地由几种细菌毒素和病毒协同作用而致病(Cho等人,2012年;Personnic等人,2016年;Williams和Tsai,2016年)。

Flow Cytometric Quantification of Fatty Acid Uptake by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Macrophages

[Abstract]  Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has evolved to assimilate fatty acids from its host. However, until recently, there was no reliable way to quantify fatty acid uptake by the bacteria during host cell infection. Here we describe a new method to quantify fatty acid uptake by intracellular bacilli. We infect macrophages with Mtb constitutively expressing mCherry and then metabolically label them with Bodipy-palmitate. Following the labeling procedure, we isolate Mtb-containing phagosomes on a sucrose cushion and disrupt the phagosomes with detergent. After extensive washes, the isolated bacteria are analyzed by flow cytometry to determine the level of Bodipy-palmitate signal associated with the bacteria. Using a Mtb mutant strain defective in fatty acid uptake in liquid culture we ... [摘要]  结核分枝杆菌(Mtb)已经发展为从其宿主吸收脂肪酸。然而,直到最近,还没有可靠的方法来量化宿主细胞感染期间细菌对脂肪酸的摄取。在这里,我们描述了一种新的方法来量化细胞内杆菌对脂肪酸的摄取。我们用Mtb组成性表达mCherry感染巨噬细胞,然后用Bodipy-palmitate代谢标记它们。标记程序后,我们在蔗糖垫上分离含有Mtb的吞噬体,并用去污剂破坏吞噬体。大量洗涤后,通过流式细胞术分析分离的细菌以确定与细菌相关的Bodipy-棕榈酸酯信号的水平。使用液体培养物中脂肪酸摄取缺陷的Mtb突变株,我们确定该突变体在巨噬细胞感染期间同化比野生型菌株少10倍的Bodipy-棕榈酸酯。脂肪酸摄取的这种定量方法可用于进一步鉴定参与细胞内Mtb和可能的其他细菌的脂质摄取的途径。

【背景】结核分枝杆菌(Mtb)同化宿主来源的脂质(脂肪酸和胆固醇)的能力使得病原体能够在其宿主内存活(Russell等人,2010; Lovewell 等人,2016)。在小鼠感染期间和在人肺组织中,通过巨噬细胞内的Mtb上调胆固醇和脂肪酸代谢相关基因来支持该想法(Schnappinger等人,2003; Rachman等人,2006; Rohde等人,2007;Fontán等人,2008; Tailleux等人,2008; Homolka et al。,2010; Rohde et ...
