De celisolatie methode en de daaropvolgende analyses afgeschilderd hier vertegenwoordigen krachtige instrumenten om de fysiologische en pathofysiologische kenmerken van de exocriene pancreas bestuderen. Werkwijze voor het isoleren gedispergeerde acinaire cellen werd eerst beschreven door Amsterdam en Jamieson in 1972 11. De methoden die hier gepresenteerd zijn op basis van meer recente isolatie methoden beschreven door Van Acker en collega&#39;s 12. Hoewel deze technieken zijn zeer reproduceerbaar ...

Dynamische veranderingen in cytosolische calcium zijn nodig voor zowel de fysiologische en pathologische acinar cel gebeurtenissen. Deze uiteenlopende effecten van calcium wordt gedacht dat het gevolg zijn van verschillende ruimtelijke en temporele patronen van calcium signalering 1. Bijvoorbeeld, enzym en secretie vloeistof uit de acinaire cel verbonden calcium pieken van een beperkt gebied van het apicale pool waar afscheiding plaatsvindt 2. In tegenstelling, is een wereldwijde calcium golf gevolgd door intense niet-oscillerende calcium signalen geassocieerd met vroege pathologische gebeurtenissen die leiden tot acute pancreatitis 3,4. Deze omvatten intra-acinar protease activering, verminderde enzym secretie, en acinar celschade. Ons laboratorium gebruikt geïsoleerde pancreatische acini deze eerste pathologische gebeurtenissen die leiden tot ziekte zowel in vivo en in vitro onderzoeken 5-7. De methoden die hier gedetailleerd beschrijven isolatie van primaire acinaire cellen voor het meten van cytosolic calciumgehalte en celschade. Werkwijze voor adenovirale infectie van deze cellen is ook voorzien.

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

Het acinaire cel het belangrijkste parenchymale cel van de exocriene pancreas en speelt een grote rol bij de secretie van pancreasenzymen in de ductus pancreaticus. Het is ook de plaats voor de initiatie van pancreatitis. Hier beschrijven we hoe acinar cellen worden geïsoleerd uit hele pancreas weefsel en intracellulair calcium signalen worden gemeten. Verder beschrijven we de technieken van deze cellen transfecteren met adenovirale constructen, en vervolgens het meten van de lekkage van lactaat dehydrogenase, een marker van celschade, in omstandigheden die acinar celbeschadiging in vitro te induceren. Deze technieken zorgen voor een krachtig hulpmiddel te karakteriseren acinar cel fysiologie en pathologie.

Een voorbeeld van acinaire cel calcium metingen in respons op fysiologische stimuli wordt verschaft in Figuur 3. Acinaire cellen werden beladen met de calcium kleurstof Fluo-4 en geperfuseerd met acetylcholine analoge carbachol (CCh, 1 uM)) 8. Cellen gereageerd in de vorm van een calcium-golf die initieert in het apicale gebied en propageert aan de basolaterale regio 3,9. Vertegenwoordiger traces weergegeven in figuur 3B tonen de typische piek-plateau patroon vaak ...
