Intestinal Co-culture System to Study TGR5 Agonism and Gut Restriction

[Abstract]  

The activation of the Takeda G-protein receptor 5 (TGR5, also known as the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1, GPBAR1) in enteroendocrine L-cells results in secretion of the anti-diabetic hormone Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 (GLP-1) into systemic circulation. Consequently, recent research has focused on identification and development of TGR5 agonists as type 2 diabetes therapeutics. However, the clinical application of TGR5 agonists has been hampered by side effects of these compounds that primarily result from their absorption into circulation. Here we describe an in vitro screening protocol to evaluate the TGR5 agonism, GLP-1 secretion, and gut-restricted properties of small molecules. The protocol involves differentiating gut epithelial and endocrine cells together in transwells to

[摘要]  [摘要]肠内分泌L细胞中的Takeda G蛋白受体5(TGR5,也称为G蛋白偶联胆汁酸受体1,GPBAR1)的激活导致抗糖尿病激素胰高血糖素样肽1的分泌。 (GLP-1)进入全身循环。因此,最近的研究集中于鉴定和开发TGR5激动剂作为2型糖尿病治疗剂。但是,TGR5激动剂的临床应用受到这些化合物的副作用的阻碍,这些副作用主要是由于它们吸收进入循环系统所致。这里我们描述一个体外 筛选协议以评估TGR5激动剂,GLP-1分泌和小分子的肠道限制性特性。该协议涉及在跨孔中将肠道上皮细胞和内分泌细胞一起分化,以评估TGR5激动剂的药效学和化合物对肠道单层的毒性。作为概念的证明,我们证明了该协议在评估有效的TGR5激动剂自然存在的胆汁酸代谢物的性质中的应用。该协议改编自Chaudhari等人。(202 1 )。

In vitro STING Activation with the cGAMP-STINGΔTM Signaling Complex

[Abstract]  Activating the STING (stimulator of interferon genes) signaling pathway via administration of STING agonist cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) has shown great promise in cancer immunotherapy. While state-of-the-art approaches have predominantly focused on the encapsulation of cGAMP into liposomes or polymersomes for cellular delivery, we discovered that the recombinant STING protein lacking the transmembrane domain (STINGΔTM) could be used as a functional carrier for cGAMP delivery and elicit type I IFN expression in STING-deficient cell lines. Using this approach, we generated anti-tumoral immunity in mouse melanoma and colon cancer models, providing a potential translatable platform for STING agonist-based immunotherapy. Here, we report the detailed in vitro STING activation ... [摘要]  [摘要]通过给予STING激动剂环状GMP-AMP(cGAMP)激活STING(干扰素基因的刺激物)信号通路已显示出在癌症免疫治疗中的广阔前景。尽管目前最先进的方法主要集中在将cGAMP封装进脂质体或聚合物小体中以进行细胞递送,但我们发现缺少跨膜结构域(STINGΔTM)的重组STING蛋白可以用作cGAMP递送的功能载体。在STING缺陷型细胞系中诱导I型IFN表达。使用这种方法,我们在小鼠黑素瘤和结肠癌模型中产生了抗肿瘤免疫力,为基于STING激动剂的免疫疗法提供了潜在的可翻译平台。在这里,我们报告与cGAMP-STINGΔTM复合物的详细体外STING激活方案,以帮助研究人员进一步开发这种方法。该协议还可以轻松扩展到与STING激活相关的其他应用程序,例如控制各种类型的感染。


[背景]在过去的二十年中,STING(干扰素基因的刺激物)信号传导途径已成为免疫系统的关键特征,并有望成为针对病毒和细菌感染,自身免疫性疾病和癌症的治疗靶标。因此,递送STING激动剂以增强免疫应答已经成为学术机构和制药公司的极大兴趣领域(Ohkuri等人,2017)。尽管现有的努力主要集中在开发合成运载工具上(Shae et ...

[Abstract]  

Alterations in synaptic transmission are critical early events in neuromuscular disorders. However, reliable methodologies to analyze the functional organization of the neuromuscular synapses are still needed. This manuscript provides a detailed protocol to analyze the molecular assembly of the neuromuscular synapses through immune-electrophysiology in Drosophila melanogaster. This technique allows the quantification of the molecular behavior of the neuromuscular synapses by correlating the structural configuration of the synaptic boutons with their electrical activity.

[摘要]  [摘要]突触传递的改变是神经肌肉疾病的关键早期事件。但是,仍然需要可靠的方法来分析神经肌肉突触的功能组织。此马努脚本提供了详细的协议,通过在免疫电分析神经肌肉突触的分子组装果蝇黑腹果蝇。该技术通过使突触钮扣的结构构型与其电活动相关联,可以量化神经肌肉突触的分子行为。


[背景]果蝇三龄幼虫的神经肌肉接头(NMJ)的功能组织在研究突触形成和功能的分子机制方面具有突出的优势(Feiguin等,2009 ; Godena等,2011; Romano等。(2014年和2015年;Strah等人,2020年),它在包括人类在内的其他物种中似乎是保守的。在这方面,果蝇NMJs的解剖组织是由多个突触钮扣构成的,这些突触钮扣是在运动轴突的最终乔木形成的。这些结构的分化和维持负责骨骼肌的神经支配,并暗示不同分子的协调作用,专门用于建立细胞接触以及释放,接收和整合神经递质信号传导所需的机制。此外,在果蝇中开发的功能强大的遗传工具以及神经系统对单个神经元的解剖学解析,提供了难得的机会,可以在可区分细胞的组织中进行全基因组范围的分子表型无偏搜索。尽管果蝇已经存在可视化神经肌肉突触建立的单独协议(Sabeva和Bykhovskaia,2017 ; Goel等人,2019 ...
