[Abstract]  

With the advent of CRISPR-Cas and the ability to easily modify the genome of diverse organisms, rat models are being increasingly developed to interrogate the genetic events underlying mammary development and tumorigenesis. Protocols for the isolation and characterization of mammary epithelial cell subpopulations have been thoroughly developed for mouse and human tissues, yet there is an increasing need for rat-specific protocols. To date, there are no standard protocols for isolating rat mammary epithelial subpopulations. Analyzing changes in the rat mammary hierarchy will help us elucidate the molecular events in breast cancer, the cells of origin for breast cancer subtypes, and the impact of the tumor microenvironment. Here we describe several methods developed for 1) rat mammary

[摘要]  [摘要]随着CRISPR-Cas的出现以及能够轻松修饰各种生物的基因组的能力,越来越多地开发大鼠模型来询问乳腺发育和肿瘤发生的遗传事件。已经为小鼠和人类组织彻底开发了用于分离和表征乳腺上皮细胞亚群的方案,但是对大鼠特异性方案的需求却在不断增长。迄今为止,还没有用于分离大鼠乳腺上皮亚群的标准方案。分析大鼠乳腺层次的变化将有助于我们阐明乳腺癌中的分子事件,乳腺癌亚型的起源细胞以及肿瘤微环境的影响。在这里,我们描述为1)大鼠乳腺上皮细胞分离开发的几种方法;2)大鼠乳腺成纤维细胞分离;3)培养大鼠乳腺上皮细胞;通过4)流式细胞仪分析和鉴定大鼠乳腺细胞;5)免疫荧光。源自该协议的细胞可用于多种目的,包括RNAseq ,药物研究,功能测定,基因/蛋白质表达分析和图像分析。


[背景]大多数与乳腺有关的研究都是在小鼠模型和人体样品中进行的。然而,由于其具有类似于人的药代动力学特征和乳腺发育,该疾病的大鼠模型正变得越来越流行(Russo等人,1990;Jiunn等人,2008; Smalley等人,2016)。像人类腺癌一样,大鼠乳腺癌也经历组织学发展阶段(Russo等,1990; Singh等,2000),并且是卵巢激素依赖性的(Thompson等,1998; ...

In vitro Cultivation and Visualization of Malaria Liver Stages in Primary Simian Hepatocytes

[Abstract]  Human liver is the primary and obligatory site for malaria infection where sporozoites invade host hepatocytes. Malaria hepatic stages are asymptomatic and represent an attractive target for development of anti-malarial interventions and vaccines. However, owing to lack of robust and reproducible in vitro culture system, it is difficult to target and study this imperative malaria liver stage. Here, we describe a procedure that allow cultivation and visualization of malaria hepatic stages including dormant hypnozoites using primary simian hepatocytes. This method enables sensitive and quantitative assessment of different hepatic stages in vitro.
[摘要]  [摘要 ] 人肝是疟疾感染的主要场所,子孢子侵入宿主肝细胞。疟疾的肝分期是无症状的,并且是开发抗疟疾干预措施和疫苗的有吸引力的目标。然而,由于缺乏健壮和可重现的体外培养系统,因此难以靶向和研究这种必不可少的疟疾肝阶段。在这里,我们描述了一种程序,该程序允许使用原代猿猴肝细胞培养和可视化疟疾肝阶段,包括休眠的次生子。这种方法可以对体外不同肝期进行灵敏和定量的评价。

[背景 ] 疟疾是女性的叮咬后传染给人类按蚊蚊子注入子孢子进入血流,其迁移到肝脏和侵入宿主的肝细胞。在肝细胞内部,子孢子进行第一轮无性繁殖并转化为多核肝裂殖体。完全成熟的肝脏裂殖体破裂并释放裂殖子,该裂殖子进入血流并感染红细胞(RBC)。在红细胞内部,寄生虫进行了第二轮无性繁殖,血液阶段的完成最终引起了与疟疾有关的临床症状。例外地,在所有疟原虫物种中,间日疟原虫,食蟹猴和卵圆形疟原虫的子孢子可产生休眠的肝形式,称为次生子孢子(Prudêncioet al。,2011)。

间日疟原虫是第二大主要疟原虫,在包括热带,亚热带和温带气候在内的所有疟疾物种中地理分布更广。消除间日疟原虫疟疾的最大挑战是由休眠的次生子激活引起的周期性疟疾复发,这些休眠的次生子启动了肝阶段增殖的发作(Wells ...
