Cellen isolation metode og de efterfølgende analyser afbildet her, udgør stærke redskaber til at studere de fysiologiske og patofysiologiske funktioner i eksokrine pancreas. Fremgangsmåden til isolering dispergerede pancreas acinarceller blev først beskrevet af Amsterdam og Jamieson i 1972 11. De metoder, der præsenteres her, er blevet tilpasset fra nyere isolation beskrevet af Van Acker og kolleger 12. Selv om disse teknikker er meget reproducerbar og let lært, at der er flere kritiske funk...

Dynamiske ændringer i cytosolisk calcium er nødvendig for både fysiologiske og patologiske acinar celle begivenheder. Disse forskellige effekter af calcium menes at stamme fra forskellige rumlige og tidslige mønstre af calcium signalering 1. For eksempel enzym og væske sekretion fra acinar celle er knyttet til calcium pigge fra en begrænset område af den apikale pol hvor sekretion finder sted 2.. I modsætning hertil er en global calcium bølge efterfulgt af intense ikke-oscillerende calcium signaler forbundet med tidlige patologiske begivenheder, der fører til akut pancreatitis 3,4. Disse omfatter intra-acinært protease aktivering, reduceret enzym sekretion, og acinar celle skade. Vores laboratorium bruger isoleret pancreas acini at studere disse tidlige patologiske begivenheder, der fører til sygdom både in vivo og in vitro 5-7. De beskrevne metoder her beskrive isolering af primære acinarceller med henblik på måling af cytosolic calcium niveauer og celle skade. En fremgangsmåde til adenoviral infektion af disse celler er også tilvejebragt.

preparation of pancreatic acinar cells for the purpose of calcium imaging, cell injury measurements, and adenoviral infection

Pancreas acinar celle er den vigtigste parenkyme celle af eksokrine pancreas og spiller en primær rolle i sekretion af pancreas enzymer i pancreas kanalen. Det er også stedet for at indlede pancreatitis. Her beskriver vi, hvordan acinar celler isoleres fra hele pancreas væv og intracellulære calcium signaler måles. Herudover beskriver vi de teknikker transfektion disse celler med adenovirale konstruktioner, og efterfølgende måling af udsivning af lactatdehydrogenase, en markør for celleskade under betingelser der inducerer acinar celleskade in vitro. Disse teknikker giver et kraftfuldt værktøj til at karakterisere acinar celle fysiologi og patologi.

Et eksempel på acinar celle calcium målinger i respons på fysiologiske stimuli er tilvejebragt i figur 3.. Acinuscellerne blev fyldt med calcium farvestof Fluo-4 og perfunderet med acetylcholin analog carbachol (CCh, 1 uM)) 8. Celler reagerede i form af et calcium-bølge, som initierer i den apikale region og forplanter til den basolaterale region 3,9. Repræsentative kurver er vist i figur 3B viser den typiske top-plateau mønster almindeligvis observeret med 1...
