الجمع بين الحمض النووي RNA-FISH يمكن أن يكون تحديا من الناحية التقنية، والظروف المناسبة لالحمض النووي FISH يمكن أن تكون قاسية جدا لجزيئات الحمض النووي الريبي أقل استقرارا. وقد تم تطبيق عدة نهج لدراسة كل من الحمض النووي والجيش الملكي النيبالي في نفس الخلية، التحايل على الح...

دراسة الخلايا والأنسجة عن طريق فلوري التهجين الموضع (FISH) في، منذ بدء العمل به في أواخر 1970s 1، سمح الباحثون لدراسة الجينات، وتنظيم الكروماتين والتعبير الجيني على مستوى التحت خلوية. وكثيرا ما يستخدم الحمض النووي FISH في علم الوراثة الخلوية، تنميط نووي 2، 3 تشخيص السرطان وما قبل الزرع الفحص الجيني 4، ولها دور مهم في مجال الأبحاث الجزيئية 5-6 لأنه يسمح للكشف عن الأحماض النووية في بيئتها الأصلية. واحد تحليل التعبير الخلية عن طريق الحمض النووي الريبي FISH يمكن الكشف عن النصوص الأولية المحلية والرنا غير المكودة يتم نسخها من الكروموسومات، ويوفر مزايا لغيرها من التقنيات التي تقيم التعبير الجيني على مستوى السكان، بما في ذلك على سبيل المثال الكمي RT-PCR، تحليل الجينوم واسعة التعبير أو النشاف الشمالية . من خلال وضع تصور النصوص الحمض النووي الريبي التي تنشأ مباشرة من مواقعها الأصلية، فقد كان على سبيل المثاللاحظت أن التعبير الجيني هو مؤشر ستوكاستيك 7، ويمكن أن يكون في بعض الأحيان محددة أليل 8. والتحسينات في تقنية حتى يسمح الكشف النوعي والكمي لجزيئات مرنا واحد داخل الخلايا 9-11. المبدأ الأساسي للFISH يتكون من تهجين الأحماض النووية داخل الخلية إلى التحقيق الحمض النووي عن طريق محددة للغاية واتسون وكريك قاعدة الاقتران. التحقيق يمكن أن تكون إما مباشرة أو غير مباشرة الكشف، مما أدى إلى إشارة التي يمكن تصور مجهريا. وتألفت المحاولات الأولية لتحقيقات المسمى بالإشعاع، والتي كان من العيوب على أساس قضايا السلامة، والقرار المكانية محدودة والقدرة على الكشف عن هدف واحد فقط في كل مرة 12-14. التطور اللاحق للتسميات امشع، بما في ذلك fluorochromes، (Hapten) الناشب والإنزيمات، وسمح انتشار استخدام واسعة من الأسماك كأسلوب روتين البيولوجيا الجزيئية. يمكن إما التحقيق FISH يكون المسمى مباشرة مع fluorochرميس بواسطة الربط الكيميائي للجزيئات الحمض النووي الفلورسنت لتسلسل 15 والتكامل من النيوكليوتيدات fluorescently المسمى 16-19، أو التحقيق يمكن تصور بشكل غير مباشر بعد دمج (Hapten) الناشب (بما في ذلك البيوتين وdigoxigenin) وكشف المناعية (Hapten) الناشب عن طريق الأجسام المضادة المحددة ناشبة مترافق ل مراسل الفلورسنت جزيئات 20-21. النهج الأخير يسمح إشارة التضخيم باستخدام عدة طبقات من الأجسام المضادة fluorescently المسمى والتي تستخدم لتعزيز الإشارة الأصلية، وتمكن من الكشف عن الحمض النووي الريبي الأنواع التي يتم التعبير عنها في مستويات منخفضة. من خلال الجمع بين تقنيات وضع العلامات المباشرة وغير المباشرة ومختلف (Hapten) الناشب عدة أهداف يمكن تصور في وقت واحد داخل نفس الخلية. واحدة من أهم الخطوات في بروتوكولات FISH هو التهجين من لجنة التحقيق إلى هدفه. على الرغم من الناحية النظرية، فإن التحقيق على وجه التحديد ربط فقط إلى هدفه، في الممارسة العملية، وهذا التحديدهو لم يتحقق دائما، كما تحقيقات قد ربط مناطق متماثلة، وسوف الظروف التهجين لا يكون دائما مثاليا لبعض الأنواع المنطقة DNA أو الحمض النووي الريبي. ولأهمية خاصة يغسل بعد التهجين هي، لأنها يمكن أن تزيد من صرامة الإجراءات FISH، ويمكن أن تمنع ملزم غير محدد من تحقيقات FISH، الذي من شأنه أن يؤدي إلى ارتفاع مستوى الضوضاء في الخلفية. كما تقطعت بهم السبل جزيئات الحمض النووي الريبي واحد يمكن بسهولة أن تكون المهجنة إلى التحقيق FISH. في المقابل، فإن جزيء الحمض النووي المزدوج تقطعت بهم السبل يحتاج أولا خطوة تمسخ، وبعد ذلك يمكن اجراء تحقيق هجن. وعادة ما يتحقق هذا عن طريق تسخين العينة، والذي ينتج في تمسخ من الحمض النووي. ومع ذلك، في ظل هذه الظروف القاسية، قد يتم فقدان الهشة، واحد الذين تقطعت بهم السبل جزيئات الحمض النووي الريبي. لذلك، يتطلب الحمض النووي RNA-مجتمعة FISH الأمثل كبيرة من الظروف، وأكثر تحديا تقنيا مقارنة الكشف منفصلة من الحمض النووي الريبي فقط أو الحمض النووي. نحن هنا حاضراتا بروتوكول مفصلة من جنبا إلى جنب، في وقت واحد FISH الحمض النووي RNA-الذي سمح لنا لدراسة الكروموزوم (اكس) تعطيل (XCI) في التفريق فئران الخلايا الجذعية الجنينية 22-24. XCI هو آلية جينية حاسمة للتنمية الجنينية الإناث 25، والنتائج في الكروماتين المغاير، وبالتالي إسكات واحد من اثنين من الكروموزومات X في الأفراد الإناث 26-27. الأساسية لهذه العملية هو الحمض النووي الريبي Xist غير المكودة 28-30، والتي يتم تنظيمها من قبل RNF12 22-23 وREX1 24 البروتينات. التعبير Xist يصبح غير نشط upregulated على الكروموزوم (اكس) في المستقبل (شي) أثناء التطور الجنيني أو على تمايز الخلايا ES في المختبر ، ويمكن أن ينتشر على طول الكروموسوم X، وبالتالي جذب لونين إعادة عرض الانزيمات التي تؤدي إلى إيقاف النسخي من الكروموزوم (اكس) 31. نشر هذا Xist RNA يمكن تصور بواسطة الحمض النووي الريبي FISH بوصفها طلاء من الصبغي Xبعض، والذي يشار إليه أيضا باسم سحابة Xist. منذ خلايا ES الإناث يمكن أن تفقد واحدا من الكروموسومات X، نظرا لعدم الاستقرار الجيني، ونحن وآخرون يعملون مجتمعة الحمض النووي RNA-FISH لدراسة XCI، للتأكد من أن يتم تقييم الخلايا فقط karyotypically مستقرة في تحليل هذه العملية الهامة 22،32 -34. كما هو الحال مع كل تقنية البيولوجيا الجزيئية، وقد نشرت عدة بروتوكولات مختلفة ممتازة 35-38. هنا نقدم أسلوبنا، بدءا من تحريض التمايز في الخلايا ES الماوس، تثبيت الخلايا، ووضع العلامات تحقيقات FISH نيك الترجمة، قبل المعاملة من خلايا ثابتة للسماح permeabilization واللاحقة امتصاص التحقيق، التهجين من لجنة التحقيق إلى الهدف، وأخيرا كشف التحقيق عن طريق الأجسام المضادة fluorescently المسمى. بروتوكول هنا قدمت يسمح للكشف المؤمنين من Xist الحمض النووي الريبي والكروموزوم (اكس) في غضون يومين، وأساسيات هذه التقنية يمكن المرجح أن تتكيف مع التمديدنظم لها ومجالات البحث.

Zebrafish Whole Mount High-Resolution Double Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization

Whole mount in situ hybridization is one of the most widely used techniques in developmental biology. Here, we present a high-resolution double fluorescent in situ hybridization protocol for analyzing the precise expression pattern of a single gene and for determining the overlap of the expression domains of two genes. The protocol is a modified version of the standard in situ hybridization using alkaline phosphatase and substrates such as NBT/BCIP and Fast Red 1,2. This protocol utilizes standard digoxygenin and fluorescein labeled probes along with tyramide signal amplification (TSA) 3. The commercially available TSA kits allow flexible experimental design as fluorescence emission from green to far-red can be used in combination with various nuclear stains, such as propidium iodide, or fluorescence immunohistochemistry for proteins. TSA produces a reactive fluorescent substrate that quickly covalently binds to moieties, typically tyrosine residues, in the immediate vicinity of the labeled antisense riboprobe. The resulting staining patterns are high resolution in that subcellular localization of the mRNA can be observed using laser scanning confocal microscopy 3,4. One can observe nascent transcripts at the chromosomal loci, distinguish nuclear and cytoplasmic staining and visualize other patterns such as cortical localization of mRNA. Studies in Drosophila indicate that roughly 70% of mRNAs exhibit specific patterns of subcellular localization that frequently correlate with the function of the encoded protein 5. When combined with computer-aided reconstruction of 3D confocal datasets, our protocol allows the detailed analysis of mRNA distribution with sub-cellular resolution in whole vertebrate embryos.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) Protocol in Human Sperm

Aneuploidies are the most frequent chromosomal abnormalities in humans. Most of these abnormalities result from meiotic errors during the gametogenic process in the parents. In human males, these errors can lead to the production of spermatozoa with numerical chromosome abnormalities which represent an increased risk of transmitting these anomalies to the offspring.
For this reason, the technique of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on sperm nuclei has become a protocol widely incorporated in the context of clinical diagnosis. This practice provides an estimate of the frequencies of numerical chromosome abnormalities in the gametes of the patients that seek for genetic reproductive advice.
To date, the chromosomes most frequently included in sperm FISH analysis are chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18 and 21.
This video-article describes, step by step, how to process and fix a human semen sample, how to decondense and denature the sperm chromatin, how to proceed to obtain sperm FISH preparations, and how to visualize the results at the microscope. Special remarks of the most relevant steps are given to achieve the best results.

Isolation and Derivation of Mouse Embryonic Germinal Cells

The ability of embryonic germinal cells (EG) to differentiate into primordial germinal cells (PGCs) and later into gametes during early developmental stages is a perfect model to address our hypothesis about cancer and infertility. This protocol shows how to isolate primordial germinal cells from developing gonads in 10.5-11.5 days post coitum (dpc) mouse embryos.  Developing gonadal ridges from mouse embryos (C57BL6J) were dissociated by mechanical disruption with collagenase, then plated in a mouse embryo fibroblast feeder layer (MEF-CF1) that was previously mitotically inactivated with mitomycin C in the presence of knockout media and supplemented with Leukemia Inhibitor Factor (LIF), basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF), and Stem Cell Factor (SCF).  Using these optimized methods for PCG identification, isolation, and establishment of culture conditions permits long term cultures of EG cells for more than 40 days.  The embryonic germinal cell lines showed embryonic phenotype and expression of common used markers of the pluripotent state.  Isolation and derivation of germinal cells in culture provide a tool to understand their development in vitro and offer the opportunity to monitor cumulative damage at genetic and epigenetic levels after exposure to oxidative stress.

Whole Mount in Situ Hybridization of E8.5 to E11.5 Mouse Embryos

Whole mount in situ hybridization is a very informative approach for defining gene expression patterns in embryos. The in situ hybridization procedures are lengthy and technically demanding with multiple important steps that collectively contribute to the quality of the final result. This protocol describes in detail several key quality control steps for optimizing probe labeling and performance. Overall, our protocol provides a detailed description of the critical steps necessary to reproducibly obtain high quality results. First, we describe the generation of digoxygenin (DIG) labeled RNA probes via in vitro transcription of DNA templates generated by PCR. We describe three critical quality control assays to determine the amount, integrity and specific activity of the DIG-labeled probes. These steps are important for generating a probe of sufficient sensitivity to detect endogenous mRNAs in a whole mouse embryo. In addition, we describe methods for the fixation and storage of E8.5-E11.5 day old mouse embryos for in situ hybridization. Then, we describe detailed methods for limited proteinase K digestion of the rehydrated embryos followed by the details of the hybridization conditions, post-hybridization washes and RNase treatment to remove non-specific probe hybridization. An AP-conjugated antibody is used to visualize the labeled probe and reveal the expression pattern of the endogenous transcript. Representative results are shown from successful experiments and typical suboptimal experiments.

Detection of Viral RNA by Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH)

Viruses that infect cells elicit specific changes to normal cell functions which serve to divert energy and resources for viral replication. Many aspects of host cell function are commandeered by viruses, usually by the expression of viral gene products that recruit host cell proteins and machineries. Moreover, viruses engineer specific membrane organelles or tag on to mobile vesicles and motor proteins to target regions of the cell (during de novo infection, viruses co-opt molecular motor proteins to target the nucleus; later, during virus assembly, they will hijack cellular machineries that will help in the assembly of viruses). Less is understood on how viruses, in particular those with RNA genomes, coordinate the intracellular trafficking of both protein and RNA components and how they achieve assembly of infectious particles at specific loci in the cell. The study of RNA localization began in earlier work. Developing lower eukaryotic embryos and neuronal cells provided important biological information, and also underscored the importance of RNA localization in the programming of gene expression cascades. The study in other organisms and cell systems has yielded similar important information. Viruses are obligate parasites and must utilise their host cells to replicate. Thus, it is critical to understand how RNA viruses direct their RNA genomes from the nucleus, through the nuclear pore, through the cytoplasm and on to one of its final destinations, into progeny virus particles 1.
FISH serves as a useful tool to identify changes in steady-state localization of viral RNA. When combined with immunofluorescence (IF) analysis 22, FISH/IF co-analyses will provide information on the co-localization of proteins with the viral RNA3. This analysis therefore provides a good starting point to test for RNA-protein interactions by other biochemical or biophysical tests 4,5, since co-localization by itself is not enough evidence to be certain of an interaction. In studying viral RNA localization using a method like this, abundant information has been gained on both viral and cellular RNA trafficking events 6. For instance, HIV-1 produces RNA in the nucleus of infected cells but the RNA is only translated in the cytoplasm. When one key viral protein is missing (Rev) 7, FISH of the viral RNA has revealed that the block to viral replication is due to the retention of the HIV-1 genomic RNA in the nucleus 8. 
Here, we present the method for visual analysis of viral genomic RNA in situ. The method makes use of a labelled RNA probe. This probe is designed to be complementary to the viral genomic RNA. During the in vitro synthesis of the antisense RNA probe, the ribonucleotide that is modified with digoxigenin (DIG) is included in an in vitro transcription reaction. Once the probe has hybridized to the target mRNA in cells, subsequent antibody labelling steps (Figure 1) will reveal the localization of the mRNA as well as proteins of interest when performing FISH/IF.

Detection of Viral RNA by Fluorescence in situ Hybridization FISH

A fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method was developed to visually detect viral genomic RNA using fluorescence microscopy. A probe is made with specificity to the viral RNA that can then be identified using a combination of hybridization and immunofluorescence techniques. This technique offers the advantage of identifying the localization of the viral RNA or DNA at steady-state, providing information on the control of intracellular virus trafficking events.

Analysis of Single-cell Gene Transcription by RNA Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH)

Adhesion of Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes (IE) to human endothelial receptors during malaria infections is mediated by expression of PfEMP1 protein variants encoded by the var genes.
The haploid P. falciparum genome harbors approximately 60 different var genes of which only one has been believed to be transcribed per cell at a time during the blood stage of the infection. How such mutually exclusive regulation of var gene transcription is achieved is unclear, as is the identification of individual var genes or sub-groups of var genes associated with different receptors and the consequence of differential binding on the clinical outcome of P. falciparum infections. Recently, the mutually exclusive transcription paradigm has been called into doubt by transcription assays based on individual P. falciparum transcript identification in single infected erythrocytic cells using RNA fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of var gene transcription by the parasite in individual nuclei of P. falciparum IE1.
Here, we present a detailed protocol for carrying out the RNA-FISH methodology for analysis of var gene transcription in single-nuclei of P. falciparum infected human erythrocytes. The method is based on the use of digoxigenin- and biotin- labeled antisense RNA probes using the TSA Plus Fluorescence Palette System2 (Perkin Elmer), microscopic analyses and freshly selected P. falciparum IE. The in situ hybridization method can be used to monitor transcription and regulation of a variety of genes expressed during the different stages of the P. falciparum life cycle and is adaptable to other malaria parasite species and other organisms and cell types.

Chromosome Replicating Timing Combined with Fluorescent In situ Hybridization

Mammalian DNA replication initiates at multiple sites along chromosomes at different times during S phase, following a temporal replication program. The specification of replication timing is thought to be a dynamic process regulated by tissue-specific and developmental cues that are responsive to epigenetic modifications. However, the mechanisms regulating where and when DNA replication initiates along chromosomes remains poorly understood. Homologous chromosomes usually replicate synchronously, however there are notable exceptions to this rule. For example, in female mammalian cells one of the two X chromosomes becomes late replicating through a process known as X inactivation1. Along with this delay in replication timing, estimated to be 2-3 hr, the majority of genes become transcriptionally silenced on one X chromosome. In addition, a discrete cis-acting locus, known as the X inactivation center, regulates this X inactivation process, including the induction of delayed replication timing on the entire inactive X chromosome. In addition, certain chromosome rearrangements found in cancer cells and in cells exposed to ionizing radiation display a significant delay in replication timing of &gt;3 hours that affects the entire chromosome2,3. Recent work from our lab indicates that disruption of discrete cis-acting autosomal loci result in an extremely late replicating phenotype that affects the entire chromosome4. Additional 'chromosome engineering' studies indicate that certain chromosome rearrangements affecting many different chromosomes result in this abnormal replication-timing phenotype, suggesting that all mammalian chromosomes contain discrete cis-acting loci that control proper replication timing of individual chromosomes5.
Here, we present a method for the quantitative analysis of chromosome replication timing combined with fluorescent in situ hybridization. This method allows for a direct comparison of replication timing between homologous chromosomes within the same cell, and was adapted from6. In addition, this method allows for the unambiguous identification of chromosomal rearrangements that correlate with changes in replication timing that affect the entire chromosome. This method has advantages over recently developed high throughput micro-array or sequencing protocols that cannot distinguish between homologous alleles present on rearranged and un-rearranged chromosomes. In addition, because the method described here evaluates single cells, it can detect changes in chromosome replication timing on chromosomal rearrangements that are present in only a fraction of the cells in a population.

Whole Mount RNA Fluorescent in situ Hybridization of Drosophila Embryos

Assessing the expression pattern of a gene, as well as the subcellular localization properties of its transcribed RNA, are key features for understanding its biological function during development. RNA in situ hybridization (RNA-ISH) is a powerful method used for visualizing RNA distribution properties, be it at the organismal, cellular or subcellular levels 1. RNA-ISH is based on the hybridization of a labeled nucleic acid probe (e.g. antisense RNA, oligonucleotides) complementary to the sequence of an mRNA or a non-coding RNA target of interest 2. As the procedure requires primary sequence information alone to generate sequence-specific probes, it can be universally applied to a broad range of organisms and tissue specimens 3. Indeed, a number of large-scale ISH studies have been implemented to document gene expression and RNA localization dynamics in various model organisms, which has led to the establishment of important community resources 4-11. While a variety of probe labeling and detection strategies have been developed over the years, the combined usage of fluorescently-labeled detection reagents and enzymatic signal amplification steps offer significant enhancements in the sensitivity and resolution of the procedure 12. Here, we describe an optimized fluorescent in situ hybridization method (FISH) employing tyramide signal amplification (TSA) to visualize RNA expression and localization dynamics in staged Drosophila embryos. The procedure is carried out in 96-well PCR plate format, which greatly facilitates the simultaneous processing of large numbers of samples.

Combined Immunofluorescence and DNA FISH on 3D-preserved Interphase Nuclei to Study Changes in 3D Nuclear Organization

Fluorescent in situ hybridization using DNA probes on 3-dimensionally preserved nuclei followed by 3D confocal microscopy (3D DNA FISH) represents the most direct way to visualize the location of gene loci, chromosomal sub-regions or entire territories in individual cells. This type of analysis provides insight into the global architecture of the nucleus as well as the behavior of specific genomic loci and regions within the nuclear space. Immunofluorescence, on the other hand, permits the detection of nuclear proteins (modified histones, histone variants and modifiers, transcription machinery and factors, nuclear sub-compartments, etc). The major challenge in combining immunofluorescence and 3D DNA FISH is, on the one hand to preserve the epitope detected by the antibody as well as the 3D architecture of the nucleus, and on the other hand, to allow the penetration of the DNA probe to detect gene loci or chromosome territories 1-5. Here we provide a protocol that combines visualization of chromatin modifications with genomic loci in 3D preserved nuclei.

Here we describe a protocol for simultaneous detection of histone modifications by immunofluorescence and DNA sequences by DNA FISH followed by 3D microscopy and analyses (3D immuno-DNA FISH).

Visualization and Analysis of mRNA Molecules Using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH) method allows one to detect nucleic acids in the native cellular environment. Here we provide a protocol for using FISH to quantify the number of mRNAs in single yeast cells. Cells can be grown in any condition of interest and then fixed and made permeable. Subsequently, multiple single-stranded deoxyoligonucleotides conjugated to fluorescent dyes are used to label and visualize mRNAs. Diffraction-limited fluorescence from single mRNA molecules is quantified using a spot-detection algorithm to identify and count the number of mRNAs per cell. While the more standard quantification methods of northern blots, RT-PCR and gene expression microarrays provide information on average mRNAs in the bulk population, FISH facilitates both the counting and localization of these mRNAs in single cells at single-molecule resolution.
