Vascular Permeability Assay in Human Coronary and Mouse Brachiocephalic Arteries

[Abstract]  Coronary artery disease remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Previous work, including ours, has focused on the role of intraplaque hemorrhage, particularly from immature microvessel angiogenesis, as an important contributor to plaque progression via increases in vascular permeability leading to further intraplaque hemorrhage, which increases red cell membrane-derived free cholesterol in plaque content and inflammatory cell recruitment. Evans Blue Dye (EBD) assay is widely used as a standard assay for vasculature permeability. However, the method has not been established in fresh human coronary artery autopsy samples to evaluate intraplaque microvessel permeability and angiogenesis. In this protocol, we describe a method to evaluate human coronary samples for ... [摘要]  冠状动脉疾病仍然是发病率和死亡率的重要原因。以前的研究,包括我们的研究,都集中在斑块内出血的作用,特别是来自未成熟的微血管血管生成,作为斑块进展的重要因素,通过增加血管通透性导致进一步的斑块内出血,增加斑块中红细胞膜来源的游离胆固醇内容和炎症细胞募集。 Evans Blue Dye(EBD)测定法广泛用作脉管系统渗透性的标准测定法。然而,该方法尚未在新鲜人冠状动脉尸检样本中建立,以评估斑块内微血管通透性和血管生成。在该方案中,我们描述了评估人类冠状动脉样本的微血管通透性的方法,包括灌注冠状动脉的程序,用于组织学分析和免疫染色的动脉样本的收集以及使用适当的方法来分析图像。还提供了在小鼠模型中使用FITC-葡聚糖以评估血管通透性的任选程序。这些Evans Blue Dye程序可用于在各种病理条件下提供人样品和动物模型中内皮完整性和渗透性的功能测量。

【背景】
血管内皮细胞主动调节血浆成分和循环细胞(包括白细胞)从血液到亚内皮组织的浸润。这种机制通常被认为是动脉粥样硬化起始和发展的关键步骤(Mundi et al。>,2018)。血管通透性的调节通过内皮细胞 - 细胞连接的协调打开和闭合来实现。在几种疾病状态下,内源性药物如组胺,凝血酶和血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)显着但可逆地以不同方式改变细胞 - ...

Preserve Cultured Cell Cytonemes through a Modified Electron Microscopy Fixation

[Abstract]  Immunocytochemistry of cultured cells is a common and effective technique for determining compositions and localizations of proteins within cellular structures. However, traditional cultured cell fixation and staining protocols are not effective in preserving cultured cell cytonemes, long specialized filopodia that are dedicated to morphogen transport. As a result, limited mechanistic interrogation has been performed to assess their regulation. We developed a fixation protocol for cultured cells that preserves cytonemes, which allows for immunofluorescent analysis of endogenous and over-expressed proteins localizing to the delicate cellular structures. [摘要]  培养细胞的免疫细胞化学是用于确定细胞结构内蛋白质的组成和定位的常用且有效的技术。 然而,传统的培养细胞固定和染色方案不能有效地保存培养的细胞色素,长期专门用于形态发生转运的丝状伪足。 结果,进行了有限的机械审讯以评估其监管。 我们开发了一种用于培养细胞的固定方案,该方案保留了细胞质,允许对内源性和过表达的蛋白质进行免疫荧光分析,这些蛋白质定位于脆弱的细胞结构。

【背景】Cytonemes被分类为薄的(~200nm直径)基于肌动蛋白的丝状伪足,长度超过2μm,可以转运形态发生素(Ramírez-Weber和Kornberg,1999)。这些信号结构首先在发育中的 Drosophila 翼成像盘中进行了详细分类和描述,随后在小鼠,小鸡和斑马鱼模型生物中进行了观察(Ramírez-Weber和Kornberg,1999; Sanders et al。,2013; Stanganello et al。,2015)。在大多数情况下,只有对过表达的荧光标记蛋白进行实时成像才能进行细胞色素检测。由于传统的固定方案未能保存这些脆弱的细丝,因此对培养细胞的细胞色素的检查受到限制。这些并发症一直是决定在发育和组织稳态期间驱动细胞色素形成和功能的细胞机制以及确定这些过程是否在疾病中被破坏的限制因素。

为了克服这些限制,我们开发了一种基于修饰电子显微镜固定剂(MEM-fix)的方案,该方案可以保留培养细胞的细胞质。 ...

[Abstract]  Besides analyzing the composition and dynamics of microbial communities, plant microbiome research aims to understanding the mechanism of plant microbiota assembly and their biological functions. Here, we describe procedures to investigate the role of bacterial interspecies interactions in root microbiome assembly and the beneficial effects of the root microbiota on hosts by using a maize root-associated simplified seven-species (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Ochrobactrum pituitosum, Curtobacterium pusillum, Enterobacter cloacae, Chryseobacterium indologenes, Herbaspirillum frisingense and Pseudomonas putida) synthetic bacterial community described in our previous work. Surface-sterilized maize seeds were grown in a ... [摘要]  除了分析微生物群落的组成和动态外,植物微生物群落研究的目的在于了解植物微生物群落组装的机制及其生物学功能。在这里,我们描述了通过使用与玉米根相关的简化的七种物种(嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌(Stenotrophomonas maltophilia),)来研究细菌种间相互作用在根微生物群组装中的作用以及根菌群对宿主的有益影响的程序。 Ochrobactrum pituitosum ,Curtobacterium pusillum ,阴沟肠杆菌, Chryseobacterium indologenes ,<在我们以前的工作中描述过的假单胞菌(pseudomonas putida))合成细菌群落。表面灭菌的玉米种子在含有多种细菌的悬浮液中浸泡后,在基于双管生长室的非生物体系中生长。通过对7种菌株中的每种菌株选择性培养基的培养依赖性方法追踪定殖在玉米根部的细菌群组成的动态。通过监测社区结构的变化来评估细菌相互作用对社区组装的影响。通过量化(1)真菌植物病原体,种子表面上的fusarium="" verticillioides和(2)幼苗枯萎的严重程度来评估简化的7种群落的植物保护效果真菌引起的疾病,在细菌群落的存在和不存在的情况下。我们的方案将作为研究实验室条件下植物="" -=""> ...
