imaging cell shape change in living drosophila embryos

El desarrollo de Drosophila melanogaster embrión sufre una serie de cambios en la forma de células que son muy susceptibles de imagen confocal en vivo. Cambios en las células de la mosca de la forma son análogos a los de organismos superiores, y conducen la morfogénesis de tejidos. Por lo tanto, en muchos casos, su estudio tiene implicaciones directas para la comprensión de enfermedades humanas (Tabla 1) 1-5. En la escala sub-celular, cambios en la forma celular son el producto de actividades que van desde la expresión de genes de transducción de señales, la polaridad celular, la remodelación del citoesqueleto y el tráfico de la membrana. Por lo tanto, el embrión de Drosophila no sólo proporciona el contexto para evaluar cambios en las células la forma como se relacionan con la morfogénesis de tejidos, sino que también ofrece un entorno totalmente fisiológica para estudiar las actividades sub-celular que las células de forma. El protocolo aquí descrito está destinado a la imagen de un cambio de células forma específica llamada cellularization. Cellularization es un proceso de crecimiento espectacular membrana plasmática, y en última instancia, convierte el embrión sincitial en el blastodermo celular. Es decir, en la interfase del ciclo mitótico 14, la membrana plasmática al mismo tiempo se invagina alrededor de cada uno de los núcleos de ~ 6000 cortical anclado para generar una hoja de primaria células epiteliales. En contra de las sugerencias anteriores, cellularization no está impulsado por la miosina-2 contractilidad 6, sino que está impulsada en gran parte por la exocitosis de la membrana interna de las tiendas 7. Por lo tanto, cellularization es un excelente sistema para estudiar el tráfico de membrana durante los cambios de forma de la célula que requieren invaginación de la membrana plasmática o de expansión, como la citocinesis o transversal de túbulos (T-túbulo) morfogénesis en el músculo. Tenga en cuenta que este protocolo se aplica fácilmente a las imágenes de otros cambios en las células forma en el embrión de la mosca, y sólo requiere de pequeñas adaptaciones como el cambio de la etapa de recolección de embriones, o el uso de &quot;pegamento embrión&quot; para montar el embrión de una orientación específica (Tabla 1) 19.8. En todos los casos, el flujo de trabajo es básicamente el mismo (Figura 1). Los métodos estándar para la clonación y la transgénesis Drosophila se utilizan para preparar acciones mosca de establo que expresan una proteína de interés, fusionado a la proteína verde fluorescente (GFP) o sus variantes, y las moscas son una fuente renovable de los embriones. Por otra parte, las proteínas fluorescentes / sondas se introducen directamente en embriones de la mosca a través de técnicas sencillas de micro-inyección de 9-10. Entonces, dependiendo del evento de desarrollo y cambio en las células de forma para obtener imágenes, los embriones y puesta en escena por la morfología de un microscopio de disección, y finalmente colocado y montado para time-lapse en un microscopio confocal.
