Recent advancement in the area of green fluorescent protein techniques coupled with microscopic imaging has significantly contributed in defining and dissecting subcellular changes of apoptosis with high spatio-temporal resolution. Although single cell based studies using EGFP and associated techniques have provided valuable information of initiation and hierarchical changes of apoptosis, they are yet to be exploited for multiparameter cell based real time analysis for possible drug screening or pathway defining in a high throughput manner. Here we have developed multiple cancer cell lines expressing FRET sensors for active caspases and adapted them for high throughput live cell ratio imaging, enabling high content image based multiparameter analysis. Sensitivity of the system to detect live cell caspase activation was substantiated by confocal acceptor bleaching as well as wide field FRET imaging. Multiple caspase-specific activities of DEVDase, IETDase and LEHDase were analysed simultaneously with other decisive events of cell death. Through simultaneous analysis of caspase activation by FRET ratio change coupled with detection of mitochondrial membrane potential loss or superoxide generation, we identified several antitumor agents that induced caspase activation with or without membrane potential loss or superoxide generation. Also, cells that escaped the initial drug-induced caspase activation could be easily followed up for defining long term fate. Employing such a revisit imaging strategy of the same area, we have tracked the caspase surviving fractions with multiple drugs and its subsequent response to retreatment, revealing drug-dependent diverging fate of surviving cells. This thereby indicates towards a complex control of drug induced tumor resistance. The technique described here has wider application in both screening of compound libraries as well as in defining apoptotic pathways by linking multiple signaling to identify non-classical apoptosis inducing agents, the greatest advantage being that the high content information obtained are from individual cells rather than being population based. 相似文献

Odontoblasts are involved in the transduction of stimuli applied to exposed dentin. Although expression of thermo/mechano/osmo-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) channels has been demonstrated, the properties of TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1)-mediated signaling remain to be clarified. We investigated physiological and pharmacological properties of TRPV1 and its functional coupling with cannabinoid (CB) receptors and Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchangers (NCXs) in odontoblasts. Anandamide (AEA), capsaicin (CAP), resiniferatoxin (RF) or low-pH evoked Ca(2+) influx. This influx was inhibited by capsazepine (CPZ). Delay in time-to-activation of TRPV1 channels was observed between application of AEA or CAP and increase in [Ca(2+)](i). In the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), however, an immediate increase in [Ca(2+)](i) was observed on administration of extracellular Ca(2+), followed by activation of TRPV1 channels. Intracellular application of CAP elicited inward current via opening of TRPV1 channels faster than extracellular application. With extracellular RF application, no time delay was observed in either increase in [Ca(2+)](i) or inward current, indicating that agonist binding sites are located on both extra- and intracellular domains. KB-R7943, an NCX inhibitor, yielded an increase in the decay time constant during TRPV1-mediated Ca(2+) entry. Increase in [Ca(2+)](i) by CB receptor agonist, 2-arachidonylglycerol, was inhibited by CB1 receptor antagonist or CPZ, as well as by adenylyl cyclase inhibitor. These results showed that TRPV1-mediated Ca(2+) entry functionally couples with CB1 receptor activation via cAMP signaling. Increased [Ca(2+)](i) by TRPV1 activation was extruded by NCXs. Taken together, this suggests that cAMP-mediated CB1-TRPV1 crosstalk and TRPV1-NCX coupling play an important role in driving cellular functions following transduction of external stimuli to odontoblasts. 相似文献

An attempt was made to isolate bacterial strains capable of biologically removing tungstate (WO42−). Thirty-eight water samples were collected from various areas of Anzali lagoon, Iran. Initial screening of a total of 100
bacterial isolates at pH 5, resulted in the selection of one isolate with maximum adsorption capacity of 65.4 mg tungstate/g
dry weight. It was tentatively identified as Bacillus sp. according to morphological and biochemical properties and named strain MGG-83. Tungsten concentration was measured spectrophotometrically
using the dithiol method. Higher adsorption capacity was observed in the acidic pH ranging from 1 to 3. At pH 2, the strain
removed 274.4 mg tungstate/g dry weight within 5 min from the solution with 300 mg WO42−/l initial concentration and thereafter adsorption rate decreased remarkably. The applicability of the Freundlich isotherm
for representation of the experimental data was investigated. Using 1 mM sodium azide and 10 mM 2,4−dinitrophenol, it was
shown that only 20% reduction occurred in adsorption and steam sterilization of the bacterial cells resulted in 11% decrease
in tungstate uptake. Temperature variations (20–40°C) had no significant effect on tungstate uptake. Pretreatment with the
cations had no effect in uptake but pretreatment with anions decreased the tungstate uptake as indicated: sulfate > chromate > nitrate > molybdate > selenate > rhenate.
Tungstate was removed from metal-laden biomass after desorption treatments by addition of different desorbing solutions with
the results sodium acetate > EDTA > NaCl > KOH > H2SO4. 相似文献

Pseudomonas MGF-48, a gram-negative, motile, oxidase-negative, catalase-positive, yellow-pigmented bacterium isolated from electroplating
effluent, was found to accumulate uranium with high efficiency. Uptake of uranium was rapid and the amount increased in direct
proportion to concentration, e.g., from 50 to 200 mg uranium per liter. The largest amount of uranium uptake was 174 mg per
gram dry weight bacterial biomass and was observed to occur in stationary phase during incubation at 30 °C. Uptake was determined
by flow injection analysis. Maximum uranium accumulation occurred at pH 6.5, with 86% of the uranium being taken up within
5 min of incubation. Release of uranium bound to the cells was accomplished by addition of sodium carbonate and EDTA solution
(0.1 M), the cells were reusable, and served as a biosorbent. Cells immobilized in polyacrylamide gel took up 90% of the uranium.
Pseudomonas MGF-48 showed excellent efficiency in biosorbing uranium, by both immobilized and free cells. The results of this study,
compared with those of other reports of uranium accumulation by microorganisms, leads us to conclude that Pseudomonas MGF-48 shows excellent potential for bioremediating uranium-polluted aqueous effluents.
