西方印迹是一种常见的技术检测特定的蛋白质和激活信号通路的组织或细胞。通过对通常使用的程序进行小的调整, 我们能够例行地检测15种不同的蛋白质 (材料表), 在 1.5万 HSCs, 在某些情况下, 在 500 HSCs。该协议中最关键的步骤是: 1) 精确计数单元格, 2) 最小化管之间的传输数, 3) 株溶藻单元格直接与 Laemmli 样本缓冲区。当株溶藻的细胞颗粒与 Laemmli 样品缓冲, 我们发现, 而不是删除所有...

造血干细胞 (HSCs) 是自我更新的细胞, 可以引起所有的血血统。它们是骨髓中相对稀少的细胞, 使得生物化学分析变得困难。适合于分析稀有细胞的方法, 如流式细胞术, 对于定量测定细胞表面标记物和胞内蛋白的相对数量非常有用。然而, 细胞内蛋白的分析需要使用细胞通透程序来实现抗体的存取, 而不是所有细胞表面的表位都能存活这些程序1,2。此外, 在不同的蛋白质亚型或裂解产物之间鉴别的抗体通常不能用于流式细胞术, 因此调查人员仍然依靠西方的印迹进行某些类型的分析。
裂解物细胞的印迹分析是大多数实验室的常规程序。细胞可以在保存细胞表面分子表位的本地条件下纯化, 细胞裂解物随后可以被制备和分析。然而, 用西方印迹对稀有的原代细胞种群中的蛋白质进行分析, 可以要求 euthanizing 大量的动物获得足够的细胞。通过对几个步骤进行小的调整, 传统的西方印迹协议能够检测出相对较小数量的 HSCs (500-1.5万, 取决于感兴趣的蛋白质) 的蛋白质。这些调整包括准确计数细胞, 仔细处理细胞颗粒, 减少细胞间的转移, 以最小化细胞损失, 并株溶藻一个定义数量的细胞与集中加载缓冲包含蛋白酶体和磷酸酶抑制剂。许多发表的报告包括西部污点获得与2万或更多 HSCs3,4,5,6,7;这个简单的程序将减少在4到40倍之间产生等效数据所需的细胞和实验动物的数量。该协议旨在以每个单元为基础对结果进行规范化, 而不是内部控制。这使得检测蛋白质水平的全面降低, 如果数据被规范化到内部控制, 可以忽略。本文描述了在细胞基础上规范化的重要性, 用于分析基因表达数据8, 同样的原理也适用于用西方印迹来定量蛋白质。此优化的协议对于需要分析少量单元格的任何人都是有用的。

a western blotting protocol for small numbers of hematopoietic stem cells

造血干细胞 (HSCs) 是罕见的细胞, 与小鼠骨髓中仅含有2.5万表型的长期再生 HSCs。对 HSCs (500-1.5万细胞) 的小数目进行了优化, 并适合于对其进行分析。表型 HSCs 纯化, 准确计数, 直接裂解 Laemmli 样品缓冲。用月桂酸钠聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳 (SDS 页) 分析了含有等量细胞的裂解物, 并根据标准的西方印迹协议制备并处理了该印迹。使用此协议, 可以对 2000-5000 HSCs 进行例行分析, 在某些情况下, 数据可以从很少500个单元中获得, 而大多数出版物中报告的2万到4万个单元格。本议定书应普遍适用于其他造血细胞, 并能通过标准实验室程序对少量细胞进行常规分析。

一种用于小数目造血干细胞的西方印迹协议

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are rare cells, with the mouse bone marrow containing only ~25,000 phenotypic long term repopulating HSCs. A Western ...

The over goal of this western blotting protocol is to Perform western blots on small numbers of cells. This method can help answer key questions in the hematopoietic stem cell field such as the presence or abundance of specific proteins or activation of signaling pathways. The main advantage of this technique is that it requires fewer than 20, 000 cells thus fewer animals are needed to analyze rare populations of primary cells.We first had the idea for this method when we were trying to find ways to reduce the number of mice we needed to use for hematopoietic stem cell analyses. Demonstrating the procedure will be Xiongwei Cai, a post doc from my laboratory. Use a swinging bucket rotor to centrifuge 1.5 milliliter tubes containing sorted hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells at 500 times gravity for five minutes at four degrees Celsius.Once the centrifugation is over, discard all but 100 microliters of supernatant, without disturbing the cell pellet. If there are less than 5, 000 cells, and the volume of the sorted sample is less than 0.2 milliliters, first transfer the cells to low binding 0.2 milliliter PCR tubes before centrifugation. However, if there are less than 5, 000 cells, but the volume of the sorted sample is more than 0.2 milliliter, then centrifuge the cells at 500 times gravity for five minutes at four degrees Celsius.After centrifugation, discard all but 200 microliters of supernatant. Then re suspend the pellet and the remaining 200 microliters of supernatant. Next, transfer the cell suspension to 0.2 milliliter PCR tubes and again, centrifuge.Then re suspend the pellet in 20 to 30 microliters of supernatant and discard the rest. If necessary, add phosphate buffered saline in 2%fetal bovine serum, or 2%bovine serum albumin to the re suspended cells. Then use an automated cell counter to determine the cellular concentration using two to five microliters of re suspended cells.Next use a 20 or 100 microliter pipette tip to transfer a volume of 500, 1, 000, and 2, 000 hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells to new 1.5 milliliter tubes. Use a swinging bucket rotor to centrifuge the cells at four degrees Celsius at 500 times gravity for five minutes. Then follow the manufacturers instructions to dissolve phosphatase and proteasome inhibitor and DMSO to prepare a 100 fold stock solution.Next dilute the four fold Laemmli sample buffer with equivalent volumes of distilled water to make a two fold Laemmli sample buffer. Then add appropriate amounts of the 100 fold stock solution of phosphatase and proteasome inhibitor to adjust the final concentration to two fold inhibitors, and two fold Laemmli sample buffer. Adjust the volume of residual supernatant in the tube such that adding equal volumes of two fold Laemmli buffer along with the phosphatase and proteasome inhibitor will achieve a final concentration of 500 cells per microliter and one fold Laemmli buffer.And then re suspend to form the lysate. Before loading the gel, heat the sample lysates at 95 degrees Celsius in a heat block for five minutes. Using standard protocols electrophoresis one to 40 microliters of lysate equivalent to 500 to 20, 000 cells through SDS page at 100 volts.After treating poly vinylidene membrane with methanol for then seconds wash the membrane with distilled water briefly. Then transfer the protein from the gel to the membrane according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the transfer apparatus. After transfer, block the membrane with two milliliters of 2%bovine serum albumin and phosphate buffered saline with 0.1%Tween overnight at four degrees Celsius according to standard protocals.After blocking the membrane, incubate it with diluted antibodies overnight at four degrees celsius. Then wash the membrane thrice with phosphate buffered saline with 0.1%Tween 20 for five minutes each at room temperature. Next incubate the membrane with two milliliters of enhanced chemiluminescence buffer for one minute at room temperature.Detect the signals using an imaging system. To compare the beta actin signals lysates were prepared from urine hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and subjected to western plot analysis. It is clear form the amino blot that there is a decrease in beta actin signal from the lysates prepared from 2, 000 to 500 hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells loaded in 1.5 millimeter wells on a 12%SDS page gel.Further, to compare the beta actin signals obtained from different well sizes cast on the gel. Lysates were loaded in 1.5 and three millimeter wells on the gel and then subjected to western blot analysis. The blot shows that the beta actin signal obtained from the lysate prepared from 500 hematopoietic progenitors loaded in a 1.5 millimeter well is much stronger than when loaded in a three millimeter well.Next, to compare the signals for eucaryotic initiation factor 4G, actin and phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6 in response to cytokine stem cell factor stimulation the lysates obtained were analyzed by amino blot. The blot shows the presence of stronger signal intensities for all three proteins in the hematopoietic re genitors with cytokine stem cell factor stimulation. In comparison to the control in vitro it is also clear that there is and increasing signal intensity for all three proteins from different hematopoietic stem cell volumes.Once mastered this technically can be done in 48 hours. If it is approached properly. While attempting this procedure it's important to remember to accurately count the cells and to direct the lysate cells with a loading buffer.After this development it is technically pelleted away for the researchers in the field of stem cell research to explore signal pathways in small number of cells. After watching this video you should have a good understanding of how to do western plotting with a small number of address pieces. Be careful with the regions you're using for SDS page.Thank you for watching. Good luck with your experiments.
