PFA / methanol Metoden er udviklet i dette laboratorium med det primære formål at optimere immunlokalisering af phospho-T 287 -CaMK-II epitop under zebrafisk udvikling. Denne metode med succes lokaliseret P-CaMK-II under dannelsen af adskillige cilierede organer, herunder zebrafisk KV, 12 indre øre 14 og nyre. 13 Særligt i KV stadium, denne teknik var nødvendig. Succesen af ​​denne fremgangsmåde skyldes sandsynligvis en kombination af a) minimering af autofluorescens...

The techniques described here are the outcome of studies that have sought to define downstream targets of Ca2+ signals during events that occur during early development, including fertilization, gastrulation, somitogenesis and trunk, eye, brain and organ formation.1-3 The original discoveries of embryonic Ca2+ signaling were dependent on the use of natural and engineered Ca2+ indicators, such as aequorin4 and fura-2.5 Even with current technology, the detection of transient elevations of Ca2+ requires cumbersome analytical tools and does not reveal the targets of such Ca2+ signals. 
This laboratory investigates Ca2+ signals that act through the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent (multifunctional) protein kinase known as CaMK-II, an enzyme that is enriched in the central nervous system and originally identified as a regulator of long-term potentiation.6 CaMK-II is not brain-specific, is widely expressed and highly conserved throughout the entire lifespan and bodies of species throughout the animal kingdom, including invertebrates.7,8 CaMK-II has the unique capability of sustaining its own activity even after Ca2+ levels have diminished due to its ability to autophosphorylate at Thr287. In this autophosphorylated state, CaMK-II remains active in a Ca2+/CaM-independent manner, until dephosphorylated.6 Thus, the localization of phosphorylated CaMK-II (Thr287) can identify cells in which natural, relevant Ca2+ elevations have occurred. 
An antibody against autophosphorylated (P-Thr287) mammalian CaMK-II has been well-characterized and was initially used to localize activated CaMK-II in brain tissue.9 Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have seven CaMK-II genes10,11 whose protein products contain a sequence of MHRQE[pT287]VECLK in this region.10,11 This sequence is very similar to the phosphopeptide antigen used to create this rabbit polyclonal antibody (MHRQE[pT]VDCLK; Upstate/Millipore) and therefore it was not a complete surprise that this antibody cross-reacted with zebrafish CaMK-II. This laboratory showed that this antibody reacts with zebrafish CaMK-II in proportion to autophosphorylation and Ca2+/CaM-independent activity.12 Additional pan-specific CaMK-II antibodies have also been shown to cross-react with zebrafish CaMK-II.13
This antibody has been used to demonstrate that zebrafish CaMK-II is preferentially activated in cells on one side of the zebrafish Kupffer's Vesicle (KV), the ciliated organ necessary for establishment of left/right asymmetry.12 This antibody was used to demonstrate that CaMK-II is transiently activated in four adjacent cells on the left side of the KV during the exact same developmental phase that organ positioning is determined.12 In addition to the Kupffer's Vesicle (KV), autophosphorylated (P-T287) was also located in specific intracellular sites in other ciliated tissues including the kidney, neuromasts, and inner ear.12,13 In the zebrafish kidney, P-T287-CaMK-II is enriched along the apical border of ciliated ductal cells and within cloacal cilia where it influences their assembly.13 Finally, in the developing inner ear, P-T287-CaMK-II is intensely concentrated at the base of cilia and influences cell differentiation through the Delta-Notch signal pathway.14 In summary, the detection of activated CaMK-II has pinpointed sites of intracellular Ca2+ release and illuminated potential new signaling pathways.
These discoveries were completely dependent on developing a sensitive and accurate method to localize activated (P-T287-autophosphorylated) CaMK-II. The methods to fix and immunostain the zebrafish KV, kidney and inner ear are described. The limitations of this technique are also described. These techniques should be useful to any investigator who seeks to obtain high-resolution images in two fluorescent channels of not just phospho-epitopes, but any epitope, during early vertebrate development.

immunostaining phospho-epitopes in ciliated organs of whole mount zebrafish embryos

Den hurtige spredning af celler, væv-specifikke ekspression af gener og fremkomsten af ​​signalering netværk karakterisere tidlige embryonale udvikling af alle hvirveldyr. De kinetik og placering af signaler - selv inden for enkelte celler - i udviklingslandene embryo supplerer kortlægge vigtige udviklingsmæssige gener. Immunofarvning teknikker er beskrevet som har vist sig at definere kinetikken for intracellulære og hele dyret signaler i konstruktioner så små som primær cilier. De teknikker til fastsættelse, billedbehandling og behandling af billeder ved hjælp af en laser-scanning konfokal sammensat mikroskop kan være afsluttet i så få som 36 timer. Zebrafisk (Danio rerio) er en ønskelig organisme til efterforskere, der forsøger at gennemføre undersøgelser i et hvirveldyr, der er overkommelig og relevante for human sygdom. Genetiske udslagsblanketter eller knockdowns skal bekræftes af tabet af den faktiske proteinprodukt. Denne bekræftelse af protein tabkan opnås ved anvendelse af teknikkerne beskrevet her. Spor i signalveje kan også tydes ved anvendelse af antistoffer, der er reaktive med proteiner, der er blevet posttranslationelt modificeret ved phosphorylering. Bevarelse og optimere det phosphorylerede tilstand af en epitop er derfor afgørende for denne beslutsomhed og opnås ved denne protokol. Denne undersøgelse beskriver teknikker til at fastsætte embryoner i første 72 timer af udvikling og samarbejde lokalisere en række relevante epitoper med cilier i Kupffer s vesikel (KV), nyren og det indre øre. Disse teknikker er ligetil, kræver ikke dissektion og kan afsluttes i et relativt kort tidsrum. Projektering konfokal billedstakke til et enkelt billede er et nyttigt middel til at præsentere disse data.

Optimale betingelser til visualisering phospho-epitoper Metoder, der beskriver immunlokalisering af protein-epitoper i zebrafisk embryoner har været relativt sparsomme i forhold til dem til lokalisering mRNA via in situ hybridisering.
