[Abstract] Synaptic vesicles (SVs) are clustered in the presynaptic terminals and consistently trafficking along axons. Based on their release features, SVs are classified into different “pools”. Imaging of SVs that are traveling among multiple presynaptic terminals has helped define a new pool named “SV super-pool”. Here we describe a Fluorescent Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) approach to elucidate the relationship between SVs from the super-pool with SV clusters at presynaptic terminals. This method is powerful to investigate SV mobility regulation mechanisms.
[摘要] [摘要]突触小泡(SVs)聚集在突触前的末端,并沿轴突持续运输。根据其发布功能,SV分为不同的“池”。在多个突触前末端之间传播的SV的成像已帮助定义了一个名为“ SV超级池”的新池。在这里,我们描述了一种光漂白后的荧光恢复(FRAP)方法,以阐明超池中的SV与突触前末端的SV簇之间的关系。该方法对于研究SV迁移率调节机制非常有效。
[背景]突触小泡(SVs)是通过神经递质的储存和释放参与神经传递的关键细胞器。SV大多在邻近突触前末端活动区的簇中识别。在电子显微镜(EM)下,SV具有直径为40-50nm的均匀外观(Landis等,1988; Korogod等,2015)。据我们所知,SV之间没有明显的生化区别。在不同的刺激范式下,它们显示出不同的释放特性。因此,SV被分为不同的功能池:储备池,回收池和易于释放池(图1)(Denker和Rozzoli,2010)。EM深入研究了详细的突触结构,SV定位,SV释放机制。发现SV通过细丝与一个或两个相邻的囊泡相连,突触素被认为是连接器的一部分,并且将SV保持在储备池中(Siksou et al。,2007)。超结构研究也揭示了SV对接和融合的分子步骤的解剖(Imig等人,2014)。SV与质膜的融合将酸性管腔(pH约为5 .0 ...

[Abstract] The in vitro cell adhesion assay is a quantitative method for measuring selective cell adhesion to specific proteins. Traditionally, cell adhesion assays employ purified protein immobilized on a solid glass or plastic surface. Here, we describe a transient 293T cell transfection-based cell adhesion assay to study selective cell adhesion of a specific cell type to a protein of interest. In this protocol, 293T cells are transfected with a mammalian expression plasmid containing mSiglec1 cDNA or an empty plasmid as a mock control and are then cultured to form a monolayer. Subsequently, these Siglec1-expressing and mock-transfected 293T cell monolayers are used for cell adhesion assays with GFP-expressing B16F10 cells. The number of GFP+ cancer cells adhering to each 293T monolayer is a ...
[摘要] [摘要]的体外细胞粘附分析是一种用于测量到特定蛋白选择性细胞粘附的定量方法。传统上,细胞粘附测定采用固定在固体玻璃或塑料表面上的纯化蛋白质。在这里,我们描述了基于瞬时293T细胞转染的细胞粘附试验,以研究特定细胞类型对目标蛋白质的选择性细胞粘附。在该协议中,将293T细胞用包含mSiglec1 cDNA的哺乳动物表达质粒或空质粒作为模拟对照转染,然后培养以形成单层。随后,将这些表达Siglec1和模拟转染的293T细胞单层用于表达GFP的B16F10细胞的细胞粘附测定。GFP +的数量 粘附在每个293T单层上的癌细胞是一种定量手段,用于比较癌细胞与Siglec1的选择性粘附性。该方法消除了表达和纯化目的蛋白以进行体外细胞粘附测定的需要,并且可以容易地用难以纯化的蛋白进行操作,同时保持其天然的原位结构。

[Abstract] Limbal stem cell transplantation has been used successfully to treat patients with limbal stem cell deficiency all over the world. However, long term clinical results often proved less satisfactory due to the low quality of the graft or inadequate properties of transplanted cells. To enhance the ex vivo expansion of human limbal epithelial stem or progenitor cells (LEPC) by preserving stem cell phenotype and to improve subsequent transplantation efficiency, cell-matrix interactions ex vivo should mimic the condition in vivo. The laminin isoforms preferentially expressed in the limbal niche can be used as a culture matrix for epithelial tissue engineering. We recently published the expansion of LEPC on various laminin isoforms and observed that laminin alpha ...
[摘要] [摘要] 角膜缘干细胞移植已成功用于治疗角膜缘干细胞缺乏症的患者。但是,由于移植物质量低或移植细胞特性不足,长期临床结果常常不能令人满意。为了通过保留干细胞表型来增强人角膜缘上皮干细胞或祖细胞(LEPC)的体外扩增,并提高后续移植效率,离体细胞-基质相互作用应模拟体内条件。在角膜缘利基中优先表达的层粘连蛋白同工型可以用作上皮组织工程的培养基质。我们最近发表了LEPC在各种层粘连蛋白同工型上的扩增,并观察到与组织培养板和其他层粘连蛋白同工型相比,层粘连蛋白α5衍生的基质通过保留干/祖细胞表型,支持LEPC的有效扩增。在这里,我们描述了通过重组人层粘连蛋白-511 E8片段(LN-511E8)作为培养底物,通过胶原酶消化和LEPC的有效扩增从尸体角膜缘组织分离LEPC的优化方案。
[背景] 角膜上皮干/祖细胞(LEPC)负责角膜上皮的持续更新,位于高度专业化和复杂的环境中。它包括特定的细胞外基质组分和在支撑角膜缘细胞小生corneo -scleral缘(Schermer 等人,1986; Cotsarelis 。等人,1989; 奥多涅斯。等人,2012 ;梅。等人,2012)。这种干/祖细胞储库的损坏或损伤可导致角膜新生血管形成,慢性炎症和与角膜混浊和视力丧失相关的基质瘢痕形成(Kenyon和Tseng,1989; Sangwan 和Tseng ...
