[Abstract]  

The high attrition rate in drug development processes calls for additional human-based model systems. However, in the context of brain disorders, sampling live neuronal cells for compound testing is not applicable. The use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has revolutionized the field of neuronal disease modeling and drug discovery. Thanks to the development of iPSC-based neuronal differentiation protocols, including tridimensional cerebral organoids, it is now possible to molecularly dissect human neuronal development and human brain disease pathogenesis in a dish. These approaches may allow dissecting patient-specific treatment efficacy in a disease-relevant cellular context. For drug discovery approaches, however, a highly reproducible and cost-effective cell model is

[摘要]  [摘要]药物开发过程中的高流失率要求使用其他基于人的模型系统。但是,在脑部疾病的情况下,不适合对活的神经元细胞进行采样以进行化合物测试。人类诱导的多能干细胞(iPSC )的使用彻底改变了神经元疾病建模和药物发现领域。由于基于iPSC的神经元分化方案(包括三维脑类器官)的发展,现在可以在一个碟子中分子解剖人神经元发育和人脑疾病的发病机理。这些方法可以允许在与疾病相关的细胞环境中解剖患者特异性的治疗功效。但是,对于药物发现方法,需要高度可复制且具有成本效益的细胞模型。在这里,我们描述了一种一步-步骤,用于从人产生健壮和可膨胀的神经祖细胞(NPC)工艺的iPSC 。用此协议生成的NPC是同质的且高度增殖。这些功能使NPC适合开发用于药物发现的高通量化合物筛选。人iPSC衍生的NPC示出了代谢依赖于线粒体活性,因此可也用于研究神经病症,其中线粒体功能受到影响。该协议涵盖了制备,培养和表征人iPSC来源的NPC所需的所有步骤。

Generation and Implementation of Reporter BHK-21 Cells for Live Imaging of Flavivirus Infection

[Abstract]  

The genus Flavivirus within the family Flaviviridae includes many viral species of medical importance, such as yellow fever virus (YFV), Zika virus (ZIKV), and dengue virus (DENV), among others. Presently, the identification of flavivirus-infected cells is based on either the immunolabeling of viral proteins, the application of recombinant reporter replicons and viral genomes, or the use of cell-based molecular reporters of the flaviviral protease NS2B-NS3 activity. Among the latter, our flavivirus-activatable GFP and mNeptune reporters contain a quenching peptide (QP) joined to the fluorescent protein by a linker consisting of a cleavage site for the flavivirus NS2B-NS3 proteases (AAQRRGRIG). When the viral protease cleaves the linker, the quenching peptide is removed, and the

A 3D Skin Melanoma Spheroid-Based Model to Assess Tumor-Immune Cell Interactions

[Abstract]  Three-dimensional (3D) tumor spheroids have the potential to bridge the gap between two-dimensional (2D) monolayer tumor cell cultures and solid tumors with which they share a significant degree of similarity. However, the progression of solid tumors is often influenced by the dynamic and reciprocal interactions between tumor and immune cells. Here we present a 3D tumor spheroid-based model that might shed new light on understanding the mechanisms of tumor and immune cell interactions. The model first utilizes the hanging drop assay, which serves as one of the simplest methods for generating 3D spheroids and requires no specialized equipment. Next, pre-established spheroids can be co-cultured either directly or indirectly with an immune cell population of interest. Using skin melanoma, we ... [摘要]  [摘要]三维(3D)肿瘤球体具有弥合二维(2D)单层肿瘤细胞培养物与实体瘤之间的差距的潜力,它们之间有着显着的相似性。然而,实体瘤的进展通常受肿瘤与免疫细胞之间的动态相互作用和相互影响的影响。在这里,我们提出了一个基于3D肿瘤球体的模型,该模型可能会为了解肿瘤与免疫细胞相互作用的机制提供新的思路。的该模型首先利用了悬滴法,这是生成3D球体的最简单方法之一,不需要专门的设备。接下来,可以将预先建立的球体与目标免疫细胞群体直接或间接共培养。使用皮肤黑色素瘤,我们提供了该模型的详细说明,这可能对成功治疗策略的开发具有重要意义。

[背景]三维(3D)肿瘤球体是球形的自组装肿瘤细胞聚集体,类似于微转移瘤并复制实体瘤的许多特征。就像在无血管实体瘤的非增生区域一样,球体内部区域的肿瘤细胞通常表现出扰动的基因和蛋白质表达,新陈代谢改变,细胞周期停滞和坏死(Sant and Johnston ,2017)。但是,用于生成3D椭球体的大多数当前可用技术是耗时,困难和昂贵的。一种简单,快速,简便的生成3D球体的方法是使用悬滴法(Foty ...
