O método / metanol PFA foi desenvolvido neste laboratório com o objetivo principal de otimizar a imunolocalização do fosfo-T 287 -CaMK-II epitopo durante o desenvolvimento do peixe-zebra. Este método localizada com êxito P-CaMK-II durante a formação de vários órgãos, incluindo o ciliadas KV peixe-zebra, 12 ouvido interno 14 e do rim. 13 em particular na fase KV, esta técnica foi necessário.

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

A rápida proliferação das células, a expressão específica de tecido dos genes e o surgimento de redes de sinalização caracterizar o desenvolvimento embrionário no início de todos os vertebrados. A cinética e localização de sinais - mesmo dentro de uma única célula - no embrião em desenvolvimento complementa a identificação de genes de desenvolvimento importantes. técnicas de imunocoloração são descritas que têm sido mostrados para definir a cinética de sinais intracelulares e animais inteiros em estruturas tão pequenas quanto cílios. As técnicas para imagens de fixação, de imagem e de processamento usando um laser de varredura composto microscópio confocal pode ser concluído em apenas 36 horas. Peixe-zebra (Danio rerio) é um organismo desejável para os investigadores que buscam realizar estudos com uma espécie de vertebrados que é acessível e relevante para a doença humana. nocautes genéticos ou knockdowns deve ser confirmada pela perda do produto de proteína real. Essa confirmação da perda de proteínapode ser conseguido usando as técnicas descritas aqui. Pistas sobre as vias de sinalização também pode ser decifrada por utilização de anticorpos que são reactivos com as proteínas que foram modificadas pós-translacionalmente pela fosforilação. Preservar e otimizar o estado fosforilada de um epitopo é, portanto, fundamental para esta determinação e é realizado por este protocolo. Este estudo descreve técnicas para fixar o primeiro embriões durante 72 h de desenvolvimento e de co-localizar uma variedade de epitopos relevantes com ciliares de vesículas de Kupffer (KV), o rim e o ouvido interno. Estas técnicas são simples, não exigem dissecção e pode ser completada num período relativamente curto de tempo. Projectar pilhas de imagens confocal em uma única imagem é um meio útil de apresentar estes dados.

Condições ideais para a visualização de fosfo-epítopos Métodos que descrevem a imunolocalização de epitopos da proteína em embriões de peixe-zebra foram relativamente escassas em comparação com aqueles para a localização de ARNm através de hibridação in situ.
