Imaging Proteolytic Activity in Live Cells and Animal Models
In addition to their degradative role in protein turnover, proteases play a key role as positive or negative regulators of signal transduction pathways and therefore their dysregulation contributes to many disease states. Regulatory roles of proteases include their hormone-like role in triggering G protein-coupled signaling (Protease-Activated-Receptors); their role in shedding of ligands such ...
متن کاملImaging Tetrahymena ribozyme splicing activity in single live mammalian cells.
Tetrahymena ribozymes hold promise for repairing genetic disorders but are largely limited by their modest splicing efficiency and low production of final therapeutic proteins. Ribozyme evolution in intact living mammalian cells would greatly facilitate the discovery of new ribozyme variants with high in vivo activity, but no such strategies have been reported. Here we present a study using a n...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory activity and chemical composition of Pycnocycla bashagardiana fruit’s essential oil in animal models
Objective(s): Pycnocycla bashagardiana is an endemic species found only in Iran. Due to the presence of myristicin as the major component of the fruit’s oil we were prompted to assess the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of P. bashagardiana fruit’s essential oil (PBFEO). Materials and Methods: The analgesic activities of PBFEO (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg, IP) were studied by hot-pl...
متن کاملAnimal Models for imaging
Animal models can be used in the study of disease. This chapter discusses imaging animal models to elucidate the process of human disease. The mouse is used as the primary model. Though this choice simplifies many research choices, it necessitates compromises for in vivo imaging. In the future, we can expect improvements in both animal models and imaging techniques.
متن کاملBioluminescence imaging in live cells and animals.
The use of bioluminescent reporters in neuroscience research continues to grow at a rapid pace as their applications and unique advantages over conventional fluorescent reporters become more appreciated. Here, we describe practical methods and principles for detecting and imaging bioluminescence from live cells and animals. We systematically tested various components of our conventional fluores...
