Un experimento exitoso fBFP conlleva algunas consideraciones críticas. En primer lugar, para el cálculo de la fuerza para ser fiable, la micropipeta, el RBC, y el talón de la sonda deben estar alineados lo más cerca posible coaxial posible. La proyección de la RBC dentro de la pipeta debe ser alrededor de un diámetro pipeta sonda de manera que la fricción entre el RBC y la pipeta es insignificante. Para un típico RBC humano, el diámetro óptimo de la pipeta es 2,0-2,4 micras, que produce un mejor ajuste de la E...

-Célula a célula y célula-matriz extracelular-a (ECM) adhesión está mediada por la unión entre receptores de la superficie celular, las proteínas ECM, y / o lípidos 1. La unión permite que las células para formar estructuras funcionales 1, así como reconocen, se comunican, y reaccionan con el medio ambiente 3.1. A diferencia de las proteínas solubles (por ejemplo, citoquinas y factores de crecimiento) que se unen a partir de una de tres dimensiones (3D) fase de fluido sobre los receptores de la superficie celular, receptores de adhesión celular forman enlaces con sus ligandos través de un hueco de la unión estrecha para puente de dos superficies opuestas que limitan molecular difusión en una dimensión (2D) de interfaz de dos 4-7. En contraste con la cinética de 3D ​​que se mide comúnmente por ensayos de unión tradicionales (por ejemplo, resonancia de plasmón superficial o SPR), la cinética 2D han de ser cuantificados con técnicas especializadas tales como microscopía de fuerza atómica (AFM) 8-10, 11,12 cámara de flujo, micropipeta 13,14, ópticopinzas 15 y sonda de fuerza biomembrana (BFP) 16-21. Más que simplemente proporcionar vinculación física para la cohesión celular, moléculas de adhesión son un componente importante de la maquinaria de señalización para la célula para comunicarse con sus alrededores. No ha habido un creciente interés en la comprensión de cómo el compromiso ligando de moléculas de adhesión inicia la señalización intracelular y cómo la señal inicial se transduce dentro de la célula. Intuitivamente, propiedades de unión receptor-ligando puede afectar las señales que induce. Sin embargo, es difícil de diseccionar las relaciones mecánicas entre la interacción extracelular y eventos de señalización intracelular usando conjunto tradicional de ensayos bioquímicos debido a sus muchas limitaciones, por ejemplo, una resolución temporal pobres y la completa falta de resolución espacial. Métodos que permiten tanto biofísico (2D cinética de unión al receptor-ligando) y (señalización) observaciones bioquímicas en vivo existentecélulas incluyen sustratos de rigidez sintonizable 22, matrices pilar de elastómero 23 y dispositivos de cámara de flujo / microfluidos incorporados con capacidad de fluorescencia 24-26. Sin embargo, las lecturas de la señalización y de unión al receptor-ligando tienen que obtener por separado (con mayor frecuencia por diferentes métodos), por lo que es difícil de diseccionar las relaciones temporales y espaciales de las características de los bonos con eventos de señalización. BFP convencional es una fuerza de la espectroscopia ultrasensible con alta resolución espacio-temporal 17. Se utiliza una célula flexible de color rojo sangre (RBC) como un sensor de fuerza, lo que permite la medición de la cinética de 2D de una sola molécula, propiedades mecánicas y los cambios conformacionales 14,16,19-21,27-29. A BFP basado imágenes fluorescentes (fBFP) se correlaciona la cinética de unión al receptor-ligando con la señalización de las células activadas por la unión a escala de una sola molécula. Con esta configuración, en las actividades de señalización celular situ en el contexto de mechani superficialescal estimulación se observó en las células T 27. El fBFP es versátil y se puede utilizar para estudios de adhesión celular y la señalización mediada por otras moléculas en otras células.

fluorescence biomembrane force probe: concurrent quantitation of receptor-ligand kinetics and binding-induced intracellular signaling on a single cell

Interacciones ligando-receptor de membrana median muchas funciones celulares. Cinética de unión y señalización corriente abajo provocada por estas interacciones moleculares son probablemente afectadas por el entorno mecánico en el que la unión y la señalización tienen lugar. Un estudio reciente demostró que la fuerza mecánica puede regular el reconocimiento del antígeno por y activación del receptor de células T (TCR). Esto fue posible gracias a una nueva tecnología que desarrollamos y fluorescencia denominado sonda de fuerza biomembrana (fBFP), que combina la espectroscopia de fuerza de una sola molécula con microscopía de fluorescencia. El uso de un glóbulo rojo humano ultra-suave como el sensor de fuerza sensible, una cámara de alta velocidad y en tiempo real técnicas de seguimiento de formación de imágenes, la fBFP es de ~ 1 pN (10 -12 N), ~ 3 nm y ~ 0,5 mseg en la fuerza, la resolución espacial y temporal. Con la fBFP, se puede medir con precisión la cinética individuales receptor-ligando vinculantes conforme al reglamento vigente y cal intracelular simultáneamente imagen desencadenó unión-CIUM señalización en una sola célula viva. Esta nueva tecnología puede ser utilizada para estudiar otras interacciones receptor-ligando de la membrana y de señalización en otras células bajo regulación mecánica.

La técnica BFP fue iniciado por el laboratorio de Evans en 1995 17. Esta herramienta picoforce se ha utilizado ampliamente para medir las interacciones de proteínas inmovilizadas sobre superficies, a fin de analizar la cinética de dos dimensiones de las moléculas de adhesión interacción con sus ligandos 16,19,20, 30, para medir la elasticidad molecular 21,29, y para determinar conformacional proteína cambia 21. Para una fBFP, un conjunto adicional de dispositivos relaci...
