[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; ...

[Abstract] Induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiovascular progenitor cells (iPSC-CVPCs) provide an unprecedented platform for examining the molecular underpinnings of cardiac development and disease etiology, but also have great potential to play pivotal roles in the future of regenerative medicine and pharmacogenomic studies. Biobanks like iPSCORE ( Stacey et al., 2013; Panopoulos et al., 2017), which contain iPSCs generated from hundreds of genetically and ethnically diverse individuals, are an invaluable resource for conducting these studies. Here, we present an optimized, cost-effective and highly standardized protocol for large-scale derivation of human iPSC-CVPCs using small molecules and purification using metabolic selection. We have successfully applied this protocol ...
[摘要] [摘要 ] 诱导性多能干细胞衍生的心血管祖细胞(iPSC-CVPCs)为检查心脏发育和疾病病因的分子基础提供了前所未有的平台,但在再生医学和药物基因组学的未来中也具有重要作用。像iPSCORE这样的生物库(Stacey 等,2013 ;Panopoulos 等,2017), 其中包含由数百个遗传和种族不同的个体产生的iPSC,是进行这些研究的宝贵资源。在这里,我们为小分子大规模衍生人iPSC-CVPCs和代谢选择纯化提供了一种优化,具有成本效益和高度标准化的方案。我们已经成功地应用了该协议,从154种不同的iPSCORE iPSC品系中获得了iPSC-CVPC,从而获得了大量的高纯度心脏细胞。一个重要的我们的协议的组成部分是Ç ELL Ç onfluency 估计S(ccEstimate ),用于估计当iPSC集单层将达到80%汇合,这是用于发起的iPSC-CVPC推导最佳的时间的自动方法,并且使得协议为易于在具有不同增长率的iPSC系列中使用。此外,我们发现跨iPSC-CVPC的细胞异质性是由于两种截然不同的心脏细胞类型(心肌细胞(CMs)和心外膜衍生细胞(EPDCs))的比例不同导致的,这两种细胞在心脏再生中均具有关键作用。该协议消除了iPSC线到线优化的需要,并且可以轻松地进行调整和扩展,以进行高通量研究或生成大量适用于再生医学应用的细胞。

[Abstract] As one of the main energy metabolism organs, kidney has been proved to have high energy requirements and are more inclined to fatty acid metabolism as the main energy source. Long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (LCAD) and beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (beta-HAD), key enzymes involved in fatty acid oxidation, has been identified as the substrate of acetyltransferase GCN5L1 and deacetylase Sirt3. Acetylation levels of LCAD and beta-HAD regulate its enzymes activity and thus affect fatty acid oxidation rate. Moreover, immunoprecipitation is a key assay for the detection of LCAD and beta-HAD acetylation levels. Here we describe a protocol of immunoprecipitation of acetyl-lysine and western blotting of LCAD and beta-HAD in palmitic acid treated HK-2 cells (human renal tubular epithelial ...
[摘要] [摘要] 甲作为肾脏的主要能量代谢器官之一,肾脏已被证明具有很高的能量需求,并且更倾向于将脂肪酸代谢为主要能量来源。 长链酰基辅酶A脱氢酶(LCAD)和Beta-羟酰基 -CoA脱氢酶(β-HAD),涉及的关键酶脂肪酸氧化,已被确定为乙酰转移酶GCN5L1和脱乙酰酶Sirt3的底物。 LCAD和β-HAD的乙酰化水平调节其酶的活性,从而影响脂肪酸的氧化速率。 此外,免疫沉淀是检测LCAD和β-HAD乙酰化水平的关键方法。在这里,我们描述了在棕榈酸处理的HK-2细胞(人肾小管上皮细胞)中乙酰赖氨酸的免疫沉淀以及LCAD和β-HAD的免疫印迹实验。 该方案为读者提供了清晰的步骤,因此该方法可用于检测各种蛋白质的乙酰化水平。
[背景 ] 翻译后修饰(PT Ms)使细胞具有高度动态的机制来调节细胞途径(Zhao 等,2010)。 乙酰化已成为主要的翻译后蛋白质修饰之一。越来越多的证据小号指示乙酰化对手磷酸化的线粒体调控修改(Henriksen的等人,2012) 。 过线粒体蛋白质的60%被乙酰化,作为声明,这是参与能量代谢例如三羧酸(TCA)循环,氧化磷酸化(OXPHOS),脂肪酸氧化和氨基酸代谢(Hirschey 等人,2010 ; ...
