A Rapid and Specific Microplate Assay for the Determination of Intra- and Extracellular Ascorbate in Cultured Cells

13.9K
Ascorbate plays numerous important roles in cellular metabolism, many of which have only come to light in recent years. Here we describe a medium-throughput, specific and inexpensive microplate assay for the determination of both intra- and extracellular ascorbate in cell culture.

Direct Intraventricular Delivery of Drugs to the Rodent Central Nervous System

61.6K
We describe a method to target drugs to the central nervous system by either implanting a catheter or performing a bolus injection into the right lateral ventricle in mice. We focus specifically on the delivery of antisense oligonucleotides. This technique is readily adaptable to other drugs and to...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Enhancer elements require specific cellular factors for function, as demonstrated by competition assays. These factors are crucial for enhancer activity and may explain cell-type specific enhancer preferences.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Gene Regulation
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Enhancers are crucial DNA sequences that regulate gene transcription.
    • The precise molecular mechanisms underlying enhancer function and cell-type specificity are not fully understood.
    • SV40 (Simian vacuolating virus 40) enhancers are well-characterized model systems for studying enhancer activity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the molecular interactions between enhancer elements and cellular factors.
    • To determine if specific cellular components are required for enhancer activity.
    • To explore the basis of host cell preference for different enhancer elements.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an in vivo competition assay to study enhancer-cellular component interactions.
    • Examined competition between various enhancer-containing molecules and SV40 promoter elements (72 bp repeats, TATA box).
    • Assessed the ability of point mutants within the SV40 72 bp repeat to compete for cellular factors.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated competition between enhancer-containing molecules for essential cellular components.
    • Showed that enhancers, but not other SV40 promoter elements, compete for these factors.
    • Identified that non-functional enhancer mutants fail to compete, confirming the role of functional enhancers.
    • Observed that while heterologous enhancers compete for common cellular molecules, host cell preference is still evident.

    Conclusions:

    • Cellular factors interacting with enhancers are necessary for their function.
    • The competition assay provides insights into the molecular basis of enhancer activity.
    • Host cell preference of enhancers may be explained by differential interactions with these shared cellular components.
