High-throughput Microscopic Analysis of Salmonella Invasion of Host Cells

[Abstract]  Salmonella is a Gram-negative bacterium causing a gastro-enteric disease called salmonellosis. During the first phase of infection, Salmonella uses its flagella to swim near the surface of the epithelial cells and to target specific site of infection. In order to study the selection criteria that determine which host cells are targeted by the pathogen, and to analyze the relation between infecting Salmonella (i.e., cooperation or competition), we have established a high-throughput microscopic assay of HeLa cells sequentially infected with fluorescent bacteria. Using an automated pipeline of image analysis, we quantitatively characterized a multitude of parameters of infected and non-infected cells. Based on this, we established a predictive model that ... [摘要]  沙门氏菌是革兰氏阴性细菌,引起称为沙门氏菌病的胃肠疾病。在感染的第一阶段,沙门氏菌使用其鞭毛在上皮细胞表面附近游泳并靶向特定的感染部位。为了研究确定哪种宿主细胞被病原体靶向的选择标准,并分析感染沙门氏菌( ie ,合作或竞争)之间的关系,我们有建立了对荧光细菌依次感染的HeLa细胞的高通量显微镜检测。使用自动化图像分析管道,我们定量表征了感染和未感染细胞的众多参数。基于此,我们建立了一个预测模型,使我们能够识别宿主细胞易受感染的参数。我们发现宿主细胞易损性有两个来源:病原体诱导的细胞易感性从沙门氏菌摄取中出现并持续存在于感染过程的后期阶段;以及与细胞固有属性相关的宿主细胞固有的脆弱性,例如局部细胞拥挤和胆固醇含量。我们的方法基于形态学或分子宿主细胞参数预测单层上皮细胞中沙门氏菌感染的概率。在这里,我们提供了工作流程的详细描述,包括基于计算机的分析管道。我们的方法有可能应用于研究宿主 - 病原体相互作用的其他组合。

【背景】鼠伤寒沙门氏菌血清型鼠伤寒沙门氏菌通过摄入受污染的食物或水感染宿主,引起沙门氏菌病。一旦细菌到达肠道的远端回肠,它们就会侵入广泛的宿主细胞,包括肠上皮细胞(Watson和Holden,2010)。在宿主细胞入侵的第一阶段,沙门氏菌选择其目标,使用其鞭毛游泳并扫描上皮表面(Misselwitz et ...

HCV Reporter System (Viral Infection-Activated Split-Intein-Mediated Reporter System) for Testing Virus Cell-to-cell Transmission ex-vivo

[Abstract]  Hepatitis C virus (HCV) spread involves two distinct entry pathways: cell-free transmission and cell-to-cell transmission. Cell-to-cell transmission is not only an efficient way for viruses to spread but also an effective method for escaping neutralizing antibodies. We adapted the viral infection-activated split-intein-mediated reporter system (VISI) and developed a straightforward model for Live-cell monitoring of HCV cell-to-cell transmission ex-vivo: co-culture of HCV infected donor cells (red signal) with uninfected recipient cells (green signal) and elimination of the cell-free transmission by adding potent neutralizing antibody AR3A in the supernatant. With this model, the efficiency of cell-to-cell transmission can be evaluated by counting the number of foci designated by ... [摘要]  丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)传播涉及两种不同的进入途径:无细胞传播和细胞间传播。 细胞间传播不仅是病毒传播的有效方式,也是逃避中和抗体的有效方法。 我们采用了病毒感染激活的分裂 - 内含肽介导的报告系统(VISI),并开发了一种直接模型,用于活细胞监测HCV细胞间传递离体:共培养 HCV感染的供体细胞(红色信号)与未感染的受体细胞(绿色信号)和通过在上清液中加入有效的中和抗体AR3A消除无细胞的传递。 利用该模型,可以通过计数受体细胞的绿色信号指定的病灶数来评估细胞间传递的效率。

【背景】越来越多的证据证明病毒可以在受感染的组织中使用不同的传播途径(Sattentau,2008; Zhong et al。,2013)。对于HCV传播,无细胞传播和细胞间传播均可介导肝细胞之间的病毒转移。虽然无细胞传播引发HCV感染,但认为细胞 - 细胞传递直接将HCV转移至相邻的肝细胞。它提供了抵抗中和抗体并有助于病毒持久性的极好方法(Brimacombe et al。,2011; Xiao et al。,2014)。之前的文章也证明了一些促进细胞传递的宿主因子,如清道夫受体BI(SR-BI),CD81,紧密连接蛋白claudin-1(CLDN1),Occludin(OCLN),表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)。 (Witteveldt et al。,2009; ...
