Induction of Epithelial-mesenchymal Transition in MDCK II Cells

[Abstract]  

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a reversible process of epithelial cell transdifferentiation into a mesenchymal cell, that enables initiation of cell migration. EMT plays an important role in embryonic development, tissue repair and cancer metastasis. Better understanding of cellular and molecular events during EMT will not only provide novel insights on how mammalian organism develops and how epithelial tissues regenerate, but also can identify novel therapeutic targets for cancer therapy. Here we aim to provide a detailed protocol on how to induce EMT in Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) II epithelial cell line and perform immunofluorescent staining on EMT-induced cells.

[摘要]  [摘要]上皮-间质转化(EMT)是上皮细胞向分化为间充质细胞的可逆过程,能够启动细胞迁移。EMT在胚胎发育,组织修复和癌症转移中起着重要作用。更好地了解EMT过程中的细胞和分子事件,不仅将为哺乳动物生物的发育以及上皮组织的再生提供新颖的见解,而且还可为癌症治疗确定新的治疗靶标。在这里,我们旨在提供有关如何在Madin-Darby犬肾脏(MDCK)II上皮细胞系中诱导EMT并在EMT诱导的细胞上进行免疫荧光染色的详细协议。


[背景]上皮细胞的特征在于细胞可塑性,即具有采用不同细胞表型的能力(Carter等,2019; Yuan等,2019)。上皮-间质转化(EMT)是上皮细胞可塑性的一种形式。在EMT期间,上皮细胞会破坏细胞间连接,使其极性失去作用,并从鳞状,长方体或柱状变为梭形并迁移,从而获得间充质细胞的特性(Kalluri和Weinberg,2009)。EMT可以通过免疫染色和测量标志物(例如E-钙粘蛋白,ZO-1,波形蛋白,纤连蛋白和N-钙粘蛋白)的表达水平进行评估(Kalluri和Weinberg,2009)。在过去十年中在EMT研究中心大多的转录因子的作用例如,SNAIL1 / 2,ZEB1 / ...

[Abstract]  Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a recognized cause of acute diarrhea among both children and adults worldwide. EAEC strains are characterized by the presence of aggregative adherence fimbriae (AAF), which play a key role in pathogenesis by mediating attachment to the intestinal mucosa and by triggering host inflammatory responses. The aggregative adherence fimbria II (AAF/II) is the most important adherence factor of EAEC prototype strain 042 (EAEC042) to intestinal cells. Multiple receptors for AAF/II on epithelial cells have been identified including the transmembrane signaling mucin Muc1. This protocol describes a method to measure adherence of EAEC strains to HEK293 cells expressing the Muc1 glycoprotein. [摘要]  肠道集聚性大肠杆菌(EAEC)是全球儿童和成人急性腹泻的公认原因。 EAEC菌株的特征在于存在聚集粘附菌毛(AAF),其通过介导与肠粘膜的附着和通过引发宿主炎症反应而在发病机制中起关键作用。 聚合粘附菌毛II(AAF / II)是EAEC原型菌株042(EAEC042)对肠细胞最重要的粘附因子。 已经鉴定了上皮细胞上AAF / II的多种受体,包括跨膜信号传导粘蛋白Muc1。 该协议描述了测量EAEC菌株对表达Muc1糖蛋白的HEK293细胞的依从性的方法。

【背景】EAEC是世界范围内地方性和流行性腹泻病的重要原因。尽管发展中国家儿童腹泻最常见,但EAEC还与免疫受损成人腹泻,旅行者和工业化国家的食源性疾病有关,例如由志贺毒素(Stx)2a型产生的大致致命爆发2011年在北欧的血清型O104:H4的EAEC菌株(Harrington等人,2006; Rasko等人,2011)。 EAEC发病机制由生物体粘附肠细胞,产生肠毒素和细胞毒素并最终诱导炎症的能力决定(Harrington等,2006)。 EAEC对肠细胞的依从性由AAF菌毛粘附素介导(Czeczulin等人,1997)。迄今为止,已经描述了至少5种AAF菌毛的变体,全部编码在范围为55至65MDa的毒力质粒中(Jonsson等人,2015)。 ...
