[Abstract]  

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) controls many crucial cellular functions, including protein synthesis, cell size, energy metabolism, lysosome and mitochondria biogenesis, and autophagy. Consequently, deregulation of mTOR signaling plays a role in numerous pathological conditions such as cancer, metabolic disorders and neurological diseases. Developing new tools to monitor mTOR spatiotemporal activation is crucial to better understand its roles in physiological and pathological conditions. However, the most widely used method to report mTOR activity relies on the quantification of specific mTOR-phosphorylated substrates by western blot. This approach requires cellular lysate preparation, which restricts the quantification to a single time point. Here, we present a simple protocol to

[摘要]雷帕霉素(mTOR的)控制许多重要的细胞功能的哺乳动物靶,包括蛋白合成,细胞大小,能量代谢,溶酶体和线粒体生物发生,和自体吞噬。因此,mTOR信号转导的失调在许多病理状况如癌症,代谢紊乱和神经系统疾病中起作用。开发新的工具来监控mTOR的时空激活关键的是要更好地了解它的作用小号在生理和病理条件。但是,最广泛使用的报告mTOR活性的方法取决于对特定mTOR的定量- 磷酸化底物由瓦特西部时代b很多。这种方法需要细胞裂解物的制备,这限制了量化到一个单一的时间点。在这里,我们提出了一个简单的协议来研究mTOR的在活细胞的活性在实时使用AIMTOR,一个分子内BRET基(b ioluminescence ř esonance Ë NERGY吨转让(BOT))的生物传感器,我们最近设计(Bouquier等人,2020) 。我们描述染的AIMTOR中的C2C12细胞系和程序,以监控BRET在用酶标仪细胞群和单细胞显微镜。重要的是,该协议可转座至任何细胞系和原代细胞。另外,已经开发了几种亚细胞区室特异性的AIMTOR版本,使得能够对mTOR活性进行区室化评估。本协议描述了如何使用的敏感AIMTOR生物传感器研究mTOR信号动力学在活细胞中。

[Abstract]  Malaria remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Clinical symptoms of the disease arise from the growth and multiplication of Plasmodium parasites within the blood of the host. Thus in vitro assays to determine how drug, antibody and genetic perturbations affect the growth rate of Plasmodium parasites are essential for the development of new therapeutics and improving our understanding of parasite biology. As both P. falciparum and P. knowlesi can be maintained in culture with human red blood cells, the effect of antimalarial drugs and inhibitory antibodies that target the invasion or growth capacity of Plasmodium parasites are routinely investigated by using multiplication assays or growth inhibition activity (GIA) ... [摘要]  [摘要] 疟疾仍然是全球发病率和死亡率的主要原因。该疾病的临床症状源于宿主血液中疟原虫的生长和繁殖。因此,体外测定以确定药物,抗体和遗传扰动如何影响疟原虫寄生虫的生长速率对于开发新疗法和增进我们对寄生虫生物学的理解至关重要。由于两个恶性疟原虫和P. knowlesi 可以在培养物中维持与人体红细胞,抗疟疾药物和抑制性抗体靶向的侵袭能力的影响疟原虫寄生虫 是通过使用针对这两个物种乘法测定或生长抑制测定法常规地研究。该协议给出了详细的一步一步的过程来进行基于所述寄生虫乳酸脱氢酶的活性为基础的流式细胞仪乘法测定和生长抑制活性测定法测试性中和抗体的疟原虫knowlesi 适于人类红血细胞培养物中。虽然类似测定法是用于很好地建立的恶性疟原虫,P. knowlesi 被更密切相关的所有其他人类感染性物种(帕切科等人。,2018),因此可以用作替代用于测试药物和疫苗用于其它疟疾种类,例如如间日疟原虫,它是非洲以外疟疾最广泛的病因,但尚未在实验室条件下进行培养。
