[Abstract] 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) is one of the most common and mutagenic oxidative DNA damages induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Since ROS is mainly produced in the inner membranes of the mitochondria, these organelles and especially the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contained therein are particularly affected by this damage. Insufficient elimination of 8-oxoG can lead to mutations and thus to severe mitochondrial dysfunctions. To eliminate 8-oxoG, the human body uses the enzyme 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1), which is the main antagonist to oxidative damage to DNA. However, previous work suggests that the activity of the human OGG1 (hOGG1) decreases with age, leading to an age-related accumulation of 8-oxoG. A better understanding of the exact mechanisms of hOGG1 could lead ...
[摘要] [摘要] 7,8-二氢-8-氧鸟嘌呤（8-oxoG）是由活性氧（ROS）引起的最常见且诱变的氧化DN A损伤之一。由于ROS主要在线粒体的内膜中产生，因此这些细胞器，特别是其中所含的线粒体DNA（mtDNA）受到这种损害的特别影响。消除8-oxoG可能会导致突变，从而导致严重的线粒体功能障碍。为了消除8-oxoG，人体使用了8-氧代鸟嘌呤DNA糖基化酶1（OGG1），它是DNA氧化损伤的主要拮抗剂。但是，先前的研究表明，人类OGG1的活性（h OGG1）随着年龄的增长而减少，导致与年龄相关的8-oxoG积累。更好地了解hOGG1的确切机制可能会导致发现新的靶标，因此对于开发预防性疗法具有重要意义。因此，我们开发了一种实时碱基切除修复测定法，该测定法采用了专门设计的双链报告寡核苷酸来测量分离的线粒体裂解物中hOGG1的活性。这里介绍的该系统与经典测定法不同，在经典测定法中，可以通过实时测量hOGG1活性通过变性丙烯酰胺凝胶进行终点测定。另外，为了确定该双功能酶的每个酶促步骤的活性（N-糖基化酶和AP-裂解酶活性），还可以进行解链曲线分析。使用各种离心步骤从人成纤维细胞中分离线粒体后，将其裂解，然后与专门设计的报告寡核苷酸一起孵育。hOGG1活性的后续测量是在常规实时PCR系统中进行的。

[Abstract] MicroRNA-induced gene regulation is a growing field in basic and translational research. Examining this regulation directly in cells is necessary to validate high-throughput data originated from RNA sequencing technologies. For this several studies employ luciferase-based reporters that usually measure the whole cell population, which comes with low resolution for the complexity of the miRNA-induced regulation. Here, we provide a protocol using a dual-fluorescence reporter and flow cytometry reaching single cell resolution; the protocol contains a simplified workflow that includes: vector generation, data acquisition, processing, and analysis using the R environment. Our protocol enables high-resolution measurements of miRNA induced post-transcriptional gene regulation and combined with ...
[摘要] MicroRNA诱导的基因调控是基础和转化研究中不断增长的领域。 直接在细胞中检查该调节对于验证源自RNA测序技术的高通量数据是必要的。 对于这一研究，一些研究采用基于荧光素酶的报告基因，通常测量全细胞群，其具有低分辨率的miRNA诱导调节的复杂性。 在这里，我们提供使用双荧光报告基因和流式细胞仪达到单细胞分辨率的方案; 该协议包含一个简化的工作流程，包括：使用R环境进行矢量生成，数据采集，处理和分析。 我们的协议可实现miRNA诱导的转录后基因调控的高分辨率测量，并结合系统生物学，可用于估计miRNA的熟练程度。
【背景】MicroRNAs（miRNA）是高度保守的小型非蛋白质编码RNA（21-22nt），可调节转录后基因表达并调节基因生物学过程，如发育和细胞稳态（Lagos-Quintana et al。，2001; Fabian et al。，2010; Bartel，2018），包括miRNA表达与肿瘤进展和侵袭性相关的几种病理（Lu et al。， 2005; Di Leva和Croce，2013; Krishnan et al。，2015; Bertoli et ...
