Real Time RT-PCR02:57

Real Time RT-PCR

60.0K
Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, or Real-time RT-PCR, is an analytical tool used to determine the expression level of target genes. The method involves converting mRNA to complementary DNA with the help of an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, followed by the PCR amplification of the cDNA. These two processes can be performed simultaneously in a single tube or separately as a two-step reaction.
The real-time quantification of the number of amplified products is...

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

2.3K
Different fluorescence-based techniques are used to study the protein dynamics in living cells. These techniques include FRAP, FRET, and PET.
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Understanding gene expression temporal dynamics is key to gene regulation.
  • The Fluorescent Timer protein system analyzes transcriptional dynamics but faces data complexity challenges.
  • Foxp3 (Forkhead box P3) is a critical transcription factor in immune regulation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate Foxp3 transcriptional dynamics using an integrative approach.
  • To develop a machine learning method for analyzing flow cytometric Timer data.
  • To investigate the role of the Conserved Non-coding Sequence 2 (CNS2) enhancer in Foxp3 regulation.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based method for single-cell Timer analysis.
  • Created novel CRISPR mutant Foxp3 fluorescent Timer reporter mice lacking CNS2.
  • Analyzed wild-type Foxp3 fluorescent Timer reporter mice across different age groups.

Main Results:

  • Identified novel roles for the CNS2 enhancer in regulating Foxp3 transcription frequency.
  • Uncovered distinct age-dependent patterns of Foxp3 expression from neonatal to aged mice.
  • Observed thymus-like features in neonatal splenic Foxp3+ T cells.

Conclusions:

  • Established a proof-of-concept for integrating CRISPR, single-cell dynamics, and machine learning for transcriptional analysis.
  • Uncovered previously unrecognized Foxp3 transcriptional dynamics in vivo.
  • Provided advanced techniques for understanding transcriptional dynamics in biological systems.
