Microscopia di immunofluorescenza di γH2AX e 53BP1 è un metodo utile per analizzare la formazione e la riparazione di DSB in un ampio spettro di settori di ricerca. I parametri critici che influenzano il risultato degli esperimenti sono la fase del ciclo cellulare, gli agenti utilizzati per la fissazione e la permeabilizzazione delle cellule, la scelta di anticorpi e l'hardware e il software di microscopio di fluorescenza.
L'influenza del ciclo cellulare sui modelli i fuochi di γH2AX è sta...

DNA è continuamente danneggiato da endogeno (ad es., stress replica, specie reattive dell'ossigeno, intrinseca instabilità del DNA) ed esogene (ad esempio, radicali chimici, irradiazione) fonti (Figura 1)1,2 ,3,4. Tra il danno del DNA, rotture del DNA a doppio filamento (DSB) sono lesioni particolarmente gravi e possono indurre la morte delle cellule o carcinogenesi. Circa 50 DSB possono sorgere al cellulare e ciclo cellulare5. In cellule di mammifero, ricombinazione omologa (HR) e fine-unirsi nonhomologous (NHEJ) sviluppato come vie principali per la riparazione di DSB (Figura 2). HR si verifica nella fase tarda S/G2 e utilizza un'intatta sorella cromatidio come modello per la riparazione potenzialmente privo di errori. In confronto, NHEJ è attivo durante tutto il ciclo cellulare e potenzialmente mutageni come coppie di basi può essere aggiunto o resecate prima legatura dell'estremità rotte. Inoltre, fine-entrare in alternativa possono essere assunti come un meccanismo di lento mutagene backup ripristino in caso di carenza NHEJ6,7.
DSB inducono la fosforilazione dell'istone H2AX a serina 139 in una regione di diverse coppie di megabase intorno ogni DSB. I fuochi che formanti nucleari sono denominati γH2AX i fuochi e rilevabili da microscopia di immunofluorescenza8. ΓH2AX promuove l'assunzione di ulteriori proteine DSB-sensible a reagire ed è coinvolto nel rimodellamento della cromatina, riparazione del DNA e di trasduzione di segnale9. Come ogni focus γH2AX è considerato per rappresentare un singolo DSB, la quantificazione del DSB da microscopia di immunofluorescenza è possibile, che è stata dimostrata in linee cellulari del cancro e i campioni dei pazienti10,11, 12 , 13 , 14. 53BP1 (proteina p53 1) è un'altra proteina chiave nel mediare la riparazione DSB. È coinvolto nel reclutamento di DSB-sensible a reagire proteine, segnalazione di checkpoint e le sinapsi di DSB estremità15. Inoltre, 53BP1 svolge un ruolo critico nella scelta di percorso di riparazione DSB. Si innesca la riparazione del DSB verso NHEJ mentre HR è impedito16. Considerando le funzioni originali di γH2AX e 53BP1 in riparazione DSB, l'analisi simultanea di γH2AX e 53BP1 da microscopia di immunofluorescenza può essere un metodo utile per l'analisi precisa della formazione e della riparazione del DSB.
Questo manoscritto fornisce un protocollo dettagliato per l'esecuzione di microscopia di immunofluorescenza di γH2AX e 53BP1 nei nuclei delle cellule. In particolare, la tecnica è applicata in fibroblasti normali della linea cellulare NHDF, nei linfociti irradiati raggi x di un individuo sano e in cellule CD34 + di un paziente con la leucemia mieloide acuta. I dettagli del metodo sono indicati nel contesto dei risultati presentati.

immunofluorescence microscopy of &#947;h2ax and 53bp1 for analyzing the formation and repair of dna double-strand breaks

Rotture del DNA a doppio filamento (DSB) sono gravi lesioni al DNA. Analisi della formazione e della riparazione del DSB sono rilevante in un ampio spettro di settori di ricerca tra cui integrità del genoma, genotossicità, radiobiologia, invecchiamento, cancro e lo sviluppo di farmaci. In risposta a DSB, istone H2AX è fosforilata a serina 139 in una regione di diverse coppie di megabase formando fuochi nucleari discreti rilevabili da microscopia di immunofluorescenza. In aggiunta, 53BP1 (proteina p53 1) è un'altra importante proteina DSB-sensible a reagire promuovendo la riparazione del DSB unendo nonhomologous fine-evitando la ricombinazione omologa. Secondo le specifiche funzioni di γH2AX e 53BP1, l'analisi combinata di γH2AX e 53BP1 da microscopia di immunofluorescenza può essere un approccio ragionevole per un'analisi dettagliata del DSB. Questo manoscritto fornisce un protocollo dettagliato completato con metodiche note per l'esecuzione della tecnica. In particolare, l'influenza del ciclo cellulare sui modelli di fuochi γH2AX è dimostrata in fibroblasti normali della linea cellulare NHDF. Inoltre, il valore dei fuochi γH2AX come biomarcatore è raffigurato nei linfociti irradiati raggi x di un individuo sano. Infine, l'instabilità genetica è studiata in cellule CD34 + di un paziente con la leucemia mieloide acuta da microscopia di immunofluorescenza di γH2AX e 53BP1.

Analisi dei fuochi di γH2AX in cellule è più accurata in fase G0/G1 e la fase G2 quando i fuochi di γH2AX vengono visualizzati come punti fluorescenti distinti (Figura 5A). Al contrario, analisi dei fuochi di γH2AX nelle cellule durante la fase S sono complicata da macchioline dispersi γH2AX pan-nucleare causate dal processo di replica (figura 5B).

Microscopia di immunofluorescenza di γH2AX e 53BP1 per analizzare la formazione e la riparazione di rotture a doppio filamento del DNA

DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) are serious DNA lesions. Analysis of the formation and repair of DSB is relevant in a broad spectrum of research areas ...

The overall goal of gamma-H2AX and 53BP1 immunofluorescence microscopy is to analyze the formation and repair of DNA double-strand breaks in various tissues. This method can help answer key questions in cancer research, such as how genetic instability arises in tumor cells. The main advantage of this technique is that single DNA double-string breaks can be visualized, and that the repair processes can be analyzed.Demonstrating the procedure will be Susanne Brendel, a technician of our laboratory. Begin the experiment by preparing solutions, starting with the anti-coagulant stock solution with 200 International Units of heparin per milliliter in 0.9 per cent sodium chloride. Fill each of the collection tubes with two milliliters of anticoagulant stock solution before withdrawal of the blood or bone marrow samples.Next, prepare the 10X Lysis solution for red cells with 82.91 grams ammonium chloride, 7.91 grams ammonium bicarbonate, and two milliliters of 0.5 molar ethylenediamenetetracedic acid solution to a pH of 8.0 by dissolving the agents in double distilled water for a total volume of one liter. Then, prepare the fixation solution by adding 8.3 microliters of a one molar potassium hydroxide solution to 360 milligrams of paraformaldehyde, or PFA, in a microtiter tube. Fill the tube with phosphate buffered saline, or PBS, to the one milliliter mark of the tube and heat the tube in a heating block at 95 degrees Celsius to obtain one milliliter of a 36 per cent PFA solution.Transfer the one milliliter of 36 per cent PFA solution to a 15 milliliter tube. And add eight milliliters of PBS to obtain a nine milliliter four per cent PFA stock solution. Aliquot the four per cent PFA stock solution and store it at negative 18 degrees Celsius until use for cell fixation.Next, prepare the permeabilization solution by adding 50 microliters of Octoxynol 9 to 50 milliliters of PBS to obtain a solution of approximately 0.1 per cent Octoxynol 9. Finally, prepare five per cent and two per cent blocking solutions by mixing the protein blocking agent with PBS. To prepare the blood or bone marrow samples, retrieve the tubes filled with two milliliters of the anticoagulant stock solution.Withdraw seven milliliters of blood or bone marrow per tube under sterile conditions by venepuncture or bone marrow puncture respectively. Store the samples over night at room temperature. After storage overnight, dilute the heparinized blood sample one to one with PBS and the heparinized bone marrow sample in a ratio of one to three with PBS.Suspend the cells gently by drawing them in and out of the pipette two times. Next, add one volume of density gradient medium to a fresh tube. Gently layer the diluted blood or bone marrow on top of the density gradient medium and take care not to mix the two layers.Centrifuge the tube for 30 minutes at room temperature and 400 G.Draw the upper plasma layer off with a pipette. Then, carefully harvest the mononuclear cells in the layer above the density gradient medium. Transfer the mononuclear cells into a fresh tube and add at least three volumes of PBS.Suspend the cells gently by drawing them in and out of the pipette two times. Centrifuge the tube. After the spin, remove the supernatant.Add 10 milliliters of four degrees Celsius 1x Lysis solution for red cells. Re-suspend the cells gently by drawing them in and out of the pipette two times and place the tube on ice for five minutes. Then, add 30 milliliters of PBS at four degrees Celsius and centrifuge the tube.Use CD34 micro beads and cell separation columns for the isolation of CD34 positive cells. Prepare two cyto-spins with mononuclear cells of the patient samples by centrifugation of one times 10 the five cells for each preparation. Fix the cells with 200 microliters of four per cent PFA for 10 minutes.After fixation, wash the cells gently three times with 30 milliliters of PBS for five minutes each on a shaker. Then, permeablize the cells with 200 microliters of 0.1 per cent Octoxynol 9 for 10 minutes. Wash the cells gently three times with 30 milliliters of five per cent blocking solution for five minutes each on a lab shaker.Block the cells in 30 milliliters of fresh five per cent blocking solution for one hour. The fixation and permeablization of the cells with four per cent paraformaldehyde in 0.1 per cent Octoxynol 9 preserves the gamma-H2AX and 53BP1 foci distinctly. Incubate one preparation of the cells with a mouse monoclonal anti-gamma-H2AX antibody and the other preparation of the cells with a mouse monoclonal anti-gamma-H2AX antibody and a polyclonal rabbit anti-53BP1 antibody overnight at four degrees Celsius.The use of proven anti-gamma-H2AX and anti-53BP1 antibodies is highly recommended. After incubation, wash the cells gently three times with 30 milliliters of two per cent blocking solution for each five minutes on a lab shaker. Next, incubate the first preparation of the cells with an Alexa 488 conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary antibody diluted one in 500 in two per cent blocking solution.Incubate the second preparation of the cells with an Alexa 488 conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary antibody and an Alexa 555 conjugated donkey anti-rabbit secondary antibody diluted one in 500 into two per cent blocking solution. Wash the cells gently three times with 30 milliliters of PBS on a laboratory shaker. Remove the PBS and mount the cells with mounting medium.Cautiously put a cover slip on top of the mounting medium so that no air bubbles are embedded. Wait at least three hours for the mounting medium to harden before analyzing the cells by fluorescence microscopy. Finally, analyze the gamma-H2AX and 53BP1 foci in the cell nuclei with a fluorescence microscope equipped with filters for DAPI, Alexa 488, and Cy3 during imaging at a 100x objected magnification.Analysis of gamma-H2AX foci in cells is most accurate in the G0 G1 phase and the G2 phase when gamma-H2AX foci appear as distinct fluorescent dots as shown in this representative image of fibroblasts. In contrast, analysis of gamma-H2AX foci in cells during the S phase is complicated by dispersed pan-nuclear gamma-H2AX speckles caused by the replication process. Immunofluorescence staining of gamma-H2AX was used for the quantification of DNA double-strand breaks in irradiated tissues and elucidated that the levels of gamma-H2AX foci in irradiated lymphocytes are proportional to the irradiation dose.Co-localization of gamma-H2AX and 53BP1 foci in CD34 positive cells of a patient with acute myeloid leukemia indicates promotion of 53BP1 mediated nonhomologous end-joining repair mechanisms at sites of DNA double strand breaks. After this watching this video, you should have a good understanding of how to perform gamma-H2AX and 53BP1 immunofluorescence microscopy for the analysis of DNA double strand breaks. Following this procedure, other methods like immunoblotting of phosphoryrelated ATM, ATR, checkpoint kinase one, checkpoint kinase two and TP53 can be performed in tumor cells in order to analyze alterations of the DNA damage response.
