Preparation of HeLa Total Membranes and Assay of Lipid-inhibition of Serine Palmitoyltransferase Activity

[Abstract]  Serine palmitoyltranferase (SPT) is a pyridoxal 5′ phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step of de novo synthesis of sphingolipids. SPT activity is homeostatically regulated in response to increased levels of sphingolipids. This homeostatic regulation of SPT is mediated through small ER membrane proteins termed the ORMDLs. Here we describe a procedure to assay ORMDL dependent lipid inhibition of SPT activity. The assay of SPT activity using radiolabeled L-serine was developed from the procedure established by the Hornemann laboratory. The activity of SPT can also be measured using deuterated L-serine but it requires mass spectrometry, which consumes money, time and instrumentation. The ORMDL dependent lipid inhibition of SPT activity can be ...

Deoxycholate Fractionation of Fibronectin (FN) and Biotinylation Assay to Measure Recycled FN Fibrils in Epithelial Cells

[Abstract]  Fibronectin (FN) is an extracellular matrix protein that is secreted by many cell types and binds predominantly to the cell surface receptor Integrin α5β1. Integrin α5β1 binding initiates the step-wise assembly of FN into fibrils, a process called fibrillogenesis. We and several others have demonstrated critical effects of fibrillogenesis on cell migration and metastasis. While immunostaining and microscopy methods help visualize FN incorporation into fibrils, with each fibril being at least 3 μm in length, the first study that developed a method to biochemically fractionate FN to quantify fibril incorporated FN was published by Jean Schwarzbauer’s group in 1996. Our protocol was adapted from the original publication, and has been tested on multiple cell types including as shown here in ... [摘要]  纤连蛋白(FN)是一种细胞外基质蛋白,由许多细胞类型分泌,主要与细胞表面受体整合素α5β1结合。整合素α5β1结合启动FN逐步组装成原纤维,这一过程称为原纤维形成。我们和其他几个人已经证明了原纤维形成对细胞迁移和转移的关键作用。虽然免疫染色和显微镜方法有助于可视化FN掺入原纤维,每个原纤维的长度至少为3μm,但是第一项研究开发了一种生物化学分离FN以量化原纤维并入FN的方法,由Jean Schwarzbauer小组于1996年出版。我们的方案改编自原始出版物,并已在多种细胞类型上进行测试,包括如此处所示的MCF10A乳腺上皮细胞和Caki-1肾癌上皮细胞。使用两种洗涤剂提取物,将细胞FN分离成不溶于洗涤剂或掺入原纤维的FN和可溶性FN或未掺入的级分。为了确定原纤维形成是否利用FN的再循环池,我们使用了生物素标记的FN(FN-生物素)再循环测定,其已经从先前的研究中修改。使用再循环测定和脱氧胆酸盐分离方法的组合,可以定量地证明在不同实验条件下细胞中原纤维形成的程度,并确定原纤维形成的FN来源

【背景】 纤连蛋白(FN)是普遍产生的细胞外基质(ECM)组分(Uitto et al。,1989; Mao和Schwarzbauer,2005)。纤连蛋白库是转录产生的,可以通过几种生长因子如TGF-β1增加(Yokoi et al。,2002; Mimura ...

Measurement of TLR4 and CD14 Receptor Endocytosis Using Flow Cytometry

[Abstract]  After recognizing extracellular bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-CD14 signaling complex initiates two distinct signaling pathways–one from the plasma membrane and the other from the signaling endosomes (Kagan et al., 2008). Understanding the early stages of TLR4 signal transduction therefore requires a robust and quantitative method to measure LPS-triggered TLR4 and CD14 receptor endocytosis, one of the earliest events of LPS detection. Here, we describe a flow cytometry-based method that we used recently to study the role of the ion channel TRPM7 in TLR4 endocytosis (Schappe et al., 2018). The assay relies on stimulating the cells with LPS and measuring the cell surface levels of TLR4 (or CD14) at various time points using flow ... [摘要]  在识别细胞外细菌脂多糖(LPS)后,Toll样受体4(TLR4)-CD14信号传导复合物启动两种不同的信号传导途径 - 一种来自质膜,另一种来自信号传导内体(Kagan 等。,2008)。因此,了解TLR4信号转导的早期阶段需要一种稳健且定量的方法来测量LPS触发的TLR4和CD14受体内吞作用,这是LPS检测中最早发生的事件之一。在这里,我们描述了一种基于流式细胞术的方法,我们最近用它来研究离子通道TRPM7在TLR4内吞作用中的作用(Schappe et al。,2018)。该测定依赖于用LPS刺激细胞并使用流式细胞术在不同时间点测量TLR4(或CD14)的细胞表面水平。尽管我们详细描述了来自鼠骨髓来源的巨噬细胞的TLR4和CD14的方法,但它可以很容易地适应于在各种其他信号传导环境中评估受体内吞作用。

【背景】先天免疫细胞,包括巨噬细胞和树突细胞,使用各种模式识别受体(PRR)来调查其环境中的危险和病原体相关分子模式。来自各种亚细胞区室的PRR的贩运和信号传导实现了更广泛的免疫监视,并且已成为先天免疫的重要设计原则(Brubaker et al。,2015)。细菌内毒素LPS的检测高度依赖于TLR4及其共同受体CD14。 TLR4复合物的内吞作用需要CD14,并且对于LPS诱导的巨噬细胞活化是必需的(Zanoni 等人,2011; Tan ...
