更出色的 BrdU 替代方法,提供更优结果 更准确的增殖分析方法可直接测量 DNA 合成。最初,这是通过掺入放射性核苷(即 3H-胸苷)来完成的。随后基于抗体的溴脱氧尿苷(BrdU,核苷类似物)法取代了这种检测方法。Click-iT™ EdU 流式细胞术检测试剂盒是替代 BrdU 检测的新方法。EdU(5-乙炔基-2´-脱氧尿苷)是胸苷类似物,可在活跃的 DNA 合成过程中掺入 DNA 中。检测基于点击化学:一种在叠氮化物和炔烃之间的铜催化共价反应。在该应用中,在 EdU 的乙炔基团中发现了炔烃,而叠氮化物偶联至 Alexa Fluor™ 488、Alexa Fluor™ 647 或 Pacific BlueTM 染料。标准流式细胞分析方法用于检测细胞群中 S 期细胞的比例(图 1)。
温和的条件允许与细胞周期染料和抗体配合使用 在进行检测时,Click-iT™ EdU 标记的优势显而易见(图 2)。在温和条件下,小分子叠氮染料高效地与掺入的 EdU 反应,然后采用标准醛基固定,洗涤剂透化,从而使 Click-iT™ Plus 检测试剂检测出 DNA。这与 BrdU 检测相反,BrdU 检测需要使用 HCl、加热或用 DNase 消化变性 DNA,使 BrdU 暴露以便用抗 BrdU 抗体检测。BrdU 检测的样品处理会改变细胞周期分布的信号变化,且使用 HCl 方法会破坏抗原识别位点。相反,易于使用的 EdU 细胞增殖试剂盒与细胞周期染料兼容。本款 EdU 检测试剂盒还可结合表面和细胞内标记物的抗体进行多重分析。
快速简便的实验方案 Click-iT™ EdU 方案基于免疫组化抗体标记的醛基固定和洗涤剂透化步骤,但 EdU 与其他 固定剂/透化剂(包括皂苷和甲醇)兼容。只需五步就能分析细胞增殖数据:’
Polybrene inhibits human mesenchymal stem cell proliferation during lentiviral transduction.
Authors:Lin P, Correa D, Lin Y, Caplan AI,
Journal:PLoS One
PubMed ID:21887340
'Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) can be engineered to express specific genes, either for their use in cell-based therapies or to track them in vivo over long periods of time. To obtain long-term expression of these genes, a lentivirus- or retrovirus-mediated cell transduction is often used. However, given that the ... More
Identifying disruptors of male germ cell development by small molecule screening in ex vivo gonad cultures.
Authors:Wakeling SI, Miles DC, Western PS,
Journal:BMC Res Notes
PubMed ID:23631647
'Germ cell development involves formation of the spermatogenic or oogenic lineages from the bipotential primordial germ cells. Signaling mechanisms in the fetal testis and ovary determine whether germ cells enter the male or female developmental pathway, respectively. These signaling processes underpin an important phase of germ cell development, disruption of ... More
Constitutive phosphorylation of GATA-1 at serine²6 attenuates the colony-forming activity of erythrocyte-committed progenitors.
Authors:Lin KR, Li CL, Yen JJ, Yang-Yen HF,
Journal:
PubMed ID:23717580
We previously reported that IL-3 signaling induces phosphorylation of GATA-1 at the serine²6 position, which contributes to IL-3-mediated anti-apoptotic response. Here, we demonstrate that phosphorylation of GATA-1 at serine²6 is also transiently induced in cells of the erythroid lineage (primary erythroblasts and erythrocyte-committed progenitors [EPs]) by erythropoietin (EPO), the principal ...

Aeroallergen challenge promotes dendritic cell proliferation in the airways.
Authors:Veres TZ, Voedisch S, Spies E, Valtonen J, Prenzler F, Braun A,
Journal:J Immunol
PubMed ID:23267021
Aeroallergen provocation induces the rapid accumulation of CD11c(+)MHC class II (MHC II)(+) dendritic cells (DCs) in the lungs, which is driven by an increased recruitment of blood-derived DC precursors. Recent data show, however, that well-differentiated DCs proliferate in situ in various tissues. This may also contribute to their allergen-induced expansion; ... More
