议定书中的关键步骤
我们提出了一个协议, 它最小化的 dSTORM 图像中的微管和 IFs 在胶质细胞中的伪影。可以在样品准备和成像的每一步创建工件: 固定、阻塞、immunolabeling、在采集过程中漂移、非最佳闪烁条件23。下面列出了最关键的步骤。

细胞质中间花丝 (IFs) 是10毫微米直径的人-或 heteropolymers 的细胞类型特定子集的 IF 蛋白。IFs 参与大量的细胞功能, 如细胞的运动, 增殖和压力反应。他们的关键作用是突出的事实, 90 以上的人类疾病直接造成的突变, 如果蛋白质;例如, 如果组合的变化伴随肿瘤生长和传播1,2,3。越来越多的证据表明, 三细胞骨架系统协同工作, 控制细胞极化, 分裂和迁移2,3的细胞功能。由于空间结构与功能之间存在着紧密的耦合, 因此, 要深入了解 IF 与其他细丝的结构组织, 更好地理解骨架的交叉谈话是至关重要的。本文提供了一种执行超分辨率技术双色 dSTORM (直接随机光学重建显微术)4的协议, 以及它如何被用于研究固定、培养的微管之间的相互作用2维 (2D) 中的单元格。
在过去的十年中, 已经开发出了一些超分辨率技术, 并在 2014年5中发现了诺贝尔化学奖的起源。在所有这些技术中都是基于单一分子定位的方法, 如棕榈6 (照片激活的本地化显微学), 使用 photoswitchable 荧光蛋白, 风暴7与对显影或 dSTORM4使用常规显影。所有这些方法都是基于相同的原理, 其中包括 (i) 大多数荧光记者切换成 "关闭" 状态 (非荧光), (ii) 将它们的子集随机激活为荧光状态, 以便将其空间位置与纳米精度, (iii) 重复这个过程, 以激活尽可能多的显影子集。最后的图像是重建使用所有的定位的活化分子, 提供一个横向分辨率下降到20-40 纳米。一些商业化的光学系统, 允许棕榈/风暴现在可以为生物学家进行例行实验。在这里, 一个这样的系统被用来研究微管和 IFs 的结构关联。在所有基于单分子定位的方法中, 选择了双色 dSTORM 技术, 因为它很适合观察粘附细胞的极薄层状区域 (< 1 µm), 并能为图像分辨率的提高提供显著的改善。最少的时间和金钱投资。事实上, dSTORM 是一种非常方便和多才多艺的技术, 是兼容的标准有机染料常规用于细胞染色和免疫荧光。
虽然一个颜色 dSTORM 图像相对简单, 使用荧光 Alexa6478, 但双色 dSTORM 需要优化实验条件, 以便两种染料在所选的缓冲区中能够正确闪烁, 特别是当有有限激光功率。在使用 dSTORM9、10、11、12、13和这些文件来设置多色成像的方法上已经有了优秀的论文, 这些论文详细解释了可能的来源工件和退化的图像分辨率以及如何克服它们。本文介绍了在细胞固定、染色、样品制备、影像采集和图像重建等方面的最佳实验条件, 以获取致密细胞质的图像, 如网络和微管在具有双色 dSTORM 的胶质细胞。简单地说, 在 Chazeau et al12中描述的提取/固定方法适用于胶质细胞, 并与固定后的步骤、最佳的抗体浓度、10毫米的风暴缓冲器在登入的9等中描述。发现是最佳的实验设置和样本类型。
胶质细胞主要表现为三种 IF 蛋白: 波形、巢和 GFAP (胶质酸性纤维蛋白)。这三种蛋白在星形胶质细胞14中被显示为共聚合。我们以前展示了使用超分辨率结构化光照显微镜 (SR SIM), 这三如果蛋白质可以发现在同一单一 IF 灯丝和他们显示相似的分布和动力学在胶质细胞15。由于三蛋白质之间的相似性, 波形染色被用作整个网络的记者。使用 dSTORM, 我们设法解决了如何, 如果表单捆绑沿微管, 这是不可能的衍射有限显微技术15。这些观察可能有助于了解波形 IFs 如何模板微管和调节其生长轨迹, 促进在细胞迁移过程中维护极性轴16。超分辨率图像提供了有关两个骨架子系统相互作用的关键信息, 并对空间关联和局部函数之间的联系进行了深入的了解, 该链接可以是单元类型特定的17。一般来说, 双色 dSTORM 可以用来研究骨架元素或其他类型的细胞器之间的串扰, 前提是在密度和特异性方面达到良好的染色条件。这项技术将有助于更好地描述在 astrogliosis 期间观察到的细胞骨架变化, 以及中枢神经系统最常见和最恶性肿瘤的胶质瘤, 如果蛋白质的表达被改变18 ,19,20,21。

imaging intermediate filaments and microtubules with 2-dimensional direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy

细胞骨架由肌动蛋白丝、微管和中间细丝 (IF) 组成, 在控制细胞膜的形状、极性和运动方面起着关键作用。肌动蛋白和微管网络的组织已被广泛研究, 但 IFs 尚未充分的特点。IFs 的平均直径为 10 nm, 形成了整个细胞细胞质的网络。它们与肌动蛋白和微管通过分子马达和骨架连接器物理相关。这种紧密的关联是监管机制的核心, 它确保了对大多数细胞功能所需的三骨架网络的协调调节。因此, 必须单独和其他骨架网络一起可视化 IFs。然而, 如果网络是非常密集的大多数细胞类型, 特别是在胶质细胞, 这使得它的分辨率很难实现与标准荧光显微镜 (横向分辨率的 250 nm)。直接随机光学重建显微镜 (dSTORM) 是一种技术, 允许增益的横向分辨率的一个数量级。在这里, 我们表明, 侧向 dSTORM 分辨率足以解决 if 网络的稠密组织, 特别是如果管束周围的微管。这种紧密的关联很可能参与这两个网络的协调调节, 并可以解释波形 IFs 模板和稳定微管组织以及可能影响微管依赖性水泡的贩运。更一般地, 我们展示了如何观察两个骨架成分的双色 dSTORM 技术, 为他们的相互互动带来了新的洞察力。

Imaging Intermediate Filaments and Microtubules with 2-dimensional Direct Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy

2维直接随机光学重建显微成像中间丝和微管

该方法的总体目标是给出从样品制备到图像采集和重建的最佳实验条件, 以执行固定细胞中微管和中间丝的2D 双色 dSTORM 图像。

The cytoskeleton, composed of actin microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments (IF), plays a key role in the control of cell shape, ...

The overall goal of this methodology is to create the optimal experimental conditions from sample preparation to image acquisition and reconstruction in order to perform 2D dual-colored D-STORM imaging of microtubules and intermediate filaments in fixed cells. This method can help characterize the physical interactions between dense and complex cytoskeletal networks such as intermediate filaments and microtubules. The main advantage of this technique is that it allows the observation of cellular structures, which are not resolved with conventional fluorescence microscopy.Visual demonstration of this method is critical as the control of sample preparation and acquisition of robe-linking data is crucial in order to limit the generation of artifacts. After growing U373 cells according to the text protocol, fix the cells by first using PBS to wash them once. Then, remove the PBS and add one milliliter per well of preheated extraction fixation solution.Incubate the cells at room temperature for 60 seconds. Then remove the solution and add one milliliter per well of freshly prepared and preheated 4%PFA diluted in cytoskeleton buffer. Place the 12-well plate back into the incubator at 37 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.Then remove the PFA and add three milliliters of PBS per well. Use PBS to wash the cells twice. Then remove the PBS and add freshly prepared 10 millimolars sodium borohydride diluted in PBS in order to quench the autofluorescence from the glutaraldehyde.Incubate the cells at room temperature for seven minutes and transfer the recycled sodium borohydride into a specific bin. Use PBS to wash the wells three times for five minutes each. Then remove the PSB and add 5%BSA in PBS as a blocking solution.After immunostaining samples and preparing solutions in buffers according to the text protocol, mount the coverslip containing the labeled cells on a magnetic sample holder. And add the imaging buffer to completely fill the chamber. Apply the lid and make sure that there are no air bubbles between the imaging buffer and the lid.Using absolute ethanol, clean the bottom of the sample and verify that there are no leaks. Then if necessary, use grease to properly seal the sample hold. To carry out imaging, switch on the microscope and the acquisition software.Set up the acquisition parameters according to the text protocol, using the 100-fold NA 1.46 objective, the 1.6-fold Optivar lens, and the TIRF UHP mode. Create a 647 track to image the vimentin filaments labeled with Alexa Fluor 647. Select the 405 and 642 nanometer laser lines and the LP 655 emission filter.Then, create a 555 track to image the microtubules labeled with Alexa Fluor 555. Select the 561, 488, and 405 nanometer laser lines to image the fluorophores and the BP 570 to 650 emission filter. Next, add oil to the objective and place the sample on the lens.Then, select the locate tab and open the shutter of the fluorescence lamp. Find the focus and use the eyepiece to look for the cells to image. Then use the joystick to position the cells in the center of the field.Click on the acquisition tab to return to acquisition mode. Then select the 647 track and set the 642 laser power to 0.2%and the 405 laser power to its minimal value. Set the exposure time to 50 milliseconds and the gain to 50.Then choose continuous acquisition mode to observe the cell on the screen. Make sure that there is at least one fluorescent bead in the field of view. Use an autoscale mode for the display and adjust the focus.Next, take a wide field epifluorescence image of the vimentin network by clicking on snap and save the image. To check TIRF illumination, click on TIRF, press continuous, adjust the acquisition parameters in order to have a homogenous field of illumination. Then press snap and save the image.Check the 555 track. Uncheck the 647 track, and select the 555 track. Take an epifluorescence image of the microtubule network and save it.Then take a TIRF image and save it. Now, check the 647 track. Uncheck the 555 track, and select the 647 track.Set the gain to zero and the exposure time to 10 milliseconds. Then press continuous. Set the 642 nanometer laser power to 100%in order to pump most of the Alexa 647 dyes to the dark state.Once the fluorophores start blinking, increase the exposure to 15 milliseconds and the gain to 300. Use the range indicator mode to verify that single molecule signals do not saturate the camera as indicated by the red color. In that case, decrease the gain until the saturation disappears.The beads will remain saturated at the beginning of the acquisition. Press stop to discontinue observation of the cell. Expand the online processing tool and click online processing PALM to visualize the STORM image during acquisition.Use nine for the peak mask size and six for the peak intensity to noise. Now, press start acquisition. During acquisition, refocus on the cell if necessary.Adjust the exposure time and eventually switch on the 405 nanometer laser line starting at the 0.001%to keep a medium density of fluorophores with a minimum distance of one micrometer between single molecules. Make sure that the peak of localization precision on the histogram below the reconstructed image is centered around or below 10 nanometers. Press stop to end the movie when more than one million localizations have been reached.Save the raw data from the STORM acquisition with the CZI format. Then in the channels tool, check track 555, uncheck track 647, and select track 555. Next, press the continuous button.Set the exposure time to 30 milliseconds and the gain to zero. Then set both 488 and 561 lasers to 100%to pump Alexa 555 dyes to the dark state. Use the HILO mode of illumination.Once the fluorophores are depleted, press stop. Set the gain to 250 and decrease the 488 laser to 50%Use the range indicator to check that single molecules do not saturate the camera. If that is the case, decrease the gain.Now, press start acquisition. During acquisition, increase the gain gradually to reach the limit of saturation. Increase step-by-step the 405 nanometer laser power to activate the molecules and reach a medium density in the field of view.Decrease the 488 nanometer laser power to 30%when the 405 laser is about 15%Then decrease gradually the 488 while increasing the 405 laser power in order to keep the blinking of the molecules as fast as possible and with a medium density. The 488 laser line coupled with the 561 excitation laser at maximal intensity increases both the on and off rates of the fluorophores, whereas the 405 laser line only increases the on rate. Stop the acquisition when 500, 000 localizations or more have been reached or when no more molecules are blinking.Then save the raw data from the STORM acquisition with the CZI format. To carry out image reconstruction using the PAL-Drift tool, choose the model-based correction type with automatic segments with a maximum size of eight. Press apply multiple times in a row until the drift is corrected.This model-based correction applies an algorithm based on cross-correlation analysis, which corrects the drift. Using the PAL filter tools, improve the appearance of the STORM image by selecting only the molecules which were best localized. For example, limit the localization precision to 30 nanometers and the PSF to 120 to 180 nanometers.With the PAL-Render tool, use a pixel resolution of five or 10 nanometers and parameters according to the text protocol. Select render auto dynamic range HR with a 95%value and render auto dynamic range SWF with a 90%value. Then select render best quality.In the PALM menu of the processing tab, select PALM convert. Press select and then apply. Finally, save the created image with the format LSM and not CZI.This figure shows a typical example of a D-STORM image of vimentin filaments immuno-labeled with Alexa 647. The increase in resolution can clearly be observed upon comparison with the image acquired with a standard, wide-field microscope. The fluorescence intensity profiles presented in this graph show that super resolution microscopy imaging allows the resolution of vimentin bundles.The D-STORM resolution is sufficient to count the number of filaments present in the bundles. Shown here is a typical example of the dual-colored D-STORM imaging of vimentin and microtubule networks immuno-labeled with Alexa 647 and Alexa 555, respectively. Good vimentin images should have at least 5, 000 localizations per micrometer squared and 2, 500 per micrometer squared for microtubules.Once mastered, this technique can be done in three days if it performed properly. While attempting this procedure, it is important to adapt the methods of fixation and parametrization to the protein that would be imaged. For example, fixation with only glutaraldehyde gives poor results for intermediate filaments, but is best for microtubule fixation.It is important to remember to use freshly prepared samples and solutions, especially MEA, whose pH has to be carefully adjusted. After its development, this technique paved the way for researchers in the field of cell biology to explore the morphology of nanoscopic cellular structures. After watching this video, you should have a good understanding of how to perform sample preparation, image acquisition, and reconstruction of 2D dual-colored D-STORM images of intermediate filaments and microtubules.Don't forget that working with some solutions, especially PFA, NABH4 can be extremely hazardous and precautions such as wearing gloves, working under the chemical hood, and using specific bins should always been taken while performing this procedure.
