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 ...

Retroviral Capsid Core Stability Assay

[Abstract]  Structural stability of the capsid core is a critical parameter for the productive infection of a cell by a retrovirus. Compromised stability can lead to premature core disassembly, exposure of replication intermediates to cytosolic nucleic acid sensors that can trigger innate antiviral responses, and failure to integrate the proviral genome into the host DNA. Thus, core stability is a critical feature of viral replicative fitness. While there are several well-described techniques to assess viral capsid core stability, most are generally time and labor intensive. Recently, our group compared the relative stability of murine leukemia virus capsid cores using an in vitro detergent-based approach combined with ultracentrifugation against the popular fate of capsid assay. We found ... [摘要]  衣壳核心的结构稳定性是逆转录病毒对细胞的生产性感染的关键参数。受损的稳定性可导致核心过早解体,将复制中间体暴露于细胞溶质核酸传感器,其可触发先天的抗病毒反应,并且不能将原病毒基因组整合到宿主DNA中。因此,核心稳定性是病毒复制适应性的关键特征。虽然有几种充分描述的技术来评估病毒衣壳核心稳定性,但大多数通常是时间和劳动密集型的。最近,我们小组使用基于体外洗涤剂的方法结合超速离心法对衣壳测定的流行命运比较了鼠白血病病毒衣壳核心的相对稳定性。我们发现两种方法都得出了类似的结论,尽管第一种方法是比较显示核心稳定性差异的病毒突变体时评估相对衣壳核心稳定性的一种非常简单和快速的方法。

【背景】逆转录病毒已经进化出复制周期,在规避宿主抗病毒反应方面表现优异。逆转录病毒开发的一种策略是将其复制中间体与胞质核酸传感器如cGAS,TREX1,IFI203和DDX41屏蔽起来(Yan et al。,2010; Gao et al。,2013; Lahaye et al。,2013; Stavrou et al。,2015)。在复制过程中,逆转录病毒在细胞质中产生RNA-DNA杂合体和未甲基化的双链前病毒DNA,这是先天免疫传感器的常见靶标(Yan et al。,2010; Gao et al。,2013; Lahaye et ...
