[Abstract] Dynamic histone changes occur as a central part of chromatin regulation. Deposition of histone variants and post-translational modifications of histones are strongly associated with properties of chromatin status. Characterizing the kinetics of histone variants allows important insights into transcription regulation, chromatin maintenance and other chromatin properties. Here we provide a protocol of quantitative and sensitive approaches to test the timing of incorporation and dissociation of histones using a two-color SNAP-labeling system, labelling pre-existing and newly-incorporated histones distinctly. Together with cell cycle synchronization methods and cell cycle markers, this approach enables a pulse-chase analysis to determine the turnover of histone variants during the cell cycle, ...
[摘要] [摘要] 动态的组蛋白变化是染色质调节的核心部分。组蛋白变体的沉积和组蛋白的翻译后修饰与染色质状态的属性密切相关。表征组蛋白变体的动力学特性可为深入了解转录调控,染色质维持和其他染色质特性提供重要信息。在这里,我们提供了一种定量和敏感方法的协议,以使用双色SNAP标记系统测试组蛋白的结合和解离时间,分别标记预先存在的和新结合的组蛋白。结合细胞周期同步方法和细胞周期标志物,这种方法可以进行脉冲追踪分析,以确定在细胞周期内使用成像或流式细胞仪方法以单细胞分辨率检测到的组蛋白变体的周转率。除了测试整体组蛋白更新,还可以使用成像方法解决组蛋白变体的细胞周期依赖性细胞定位。
[背景] 染色质重塑是真核细胞众多基本细胞活动的一部分(Geiman 和Robertson,2002;Clapier 和Cairns ,2009)。转录因子和RNA聚合酶的可及性通常与DNA甲基化和染色质状态的变化相关,包括可及性,翻译后的组蛋白修饰和组蛋白变体的沉积。组蛋白变体差异性地调节调节发育,细胞分化或其他生理活动的基因表达(Banaszynski 等,2010)。它们在DNA修复,端粒维护,异染色质形成和染色质分离中也发挥着不同的作用(Henikoff 和Smith,2015; Zink和Hake,2016)。此外,组蛋白变体的掺入失调与癌症有关(Vardabasso et ...

[Abstract] The skeletal muscle is key for body mobility and motor performance, but aging and diseases often lead to progressive loss of muscle mass due to wasting or degeneration of muscle cells. Muscle satellite cells (MuSCs) represent a population of tissue stem cells residing in the skeletal muscles and are responsible for homeostatic maintenance and regeneration of skeletal muscles. Growth, injury, and degenerative signals activate MuSCs, which then proliferate (proliferating MuSCs are called myoblasts), differentiate and fuse with existing multinuclear muscle cells (myofibers) to mediate muscle growth and repair. Here, we describe a protocol for isolating MuSCs from skeletal muscles of mice for in vitro analysis. In addition, we provide a detailed protocol on how to culture and ...
[摘要] [摘要] 骨骼肌是身体活动和运动表现的关键,但是衰老和疾病通常会由于肌肉细胞的浪费或变性而导致肌肉质量的逐步丧失。肌卫星细胞(MuSCs)代表的组织STE群体米细胞小号居住在骨骼肌和负责骨骼肌的体内平衡维持和再生。生长,损伤和变性信号激活MuSC,然后增殖(增殖的MuSC被称为成肌细胞),分化并与现有的多核肌肉细胞(肌纤维)融合,以介导肌肉的生长和修复。在这里,我们描述了从小鼠骨骼肌中分离MuSC的体外实验方案分析。此外,我们提供了有关如何将原代成肌细胞培养和分化成肌管的详细协议,以及用于表征细胞的免疫荧光染色程序。这些方法对于在体外模拟再生肌生成以了解MuSC 的动力学,功能和分子调控至关重要。
[背景] 通过多种细胞功能维持肌肉的动态平衡,对于保持肌肉的完整性至关重要。组织特异性成体干细胞能够在整个生命中连续不断地再生局部组织。在成年骨骼肌中,称为肌肉卫星细胞(MuSC)的干细胞群具有强大的再生能力,这是肌肉动态平衡的关键(Yin 等人,2013; Dumont 等人,2016)。静态MuSC位于与肌肉纤维并列的基底层下方的壁iche中,负责肌肉的生长和再生(Yin 等人,2013; Dumont 等人,2016)。
