Resumen

Los gránulos de estrés celular inhiben la activación del inflamasoma al secuestrar DDX3X, una proteína crucial para el ensamblaje del inflamasoma. Este mecanismo ayuda a las células a decidir entre la supervivencia a través de gránulos de estrés o la muerte a través de la piroptosis.

Activation and Measurement of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activity Using IL-1β in Human Monocyte-derived Dendritic Cells

Dendritic cells (DCs) secrete IL-1β in response to TLR8 recognition of synthetic purine, R848, followed by NLRP3 inflammasome activation with nigericin, therefore, IL-1β can be used to measure NLRP3 inflammasome activity. Intracellular cytokine staining, immunoblotting, and ELISA are used to accurately measure NLRP3 inflammasome priming and activation via IL-1β...

Detection of Inflammasome Activation via Fluorescence Microscopy

This video demonstrates a method to detect NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages using fluorescent reporter probes. The cells are treated with potassium ionophores and glycine to induce inflammasome assembly and caspase-1 activation. Fluorescent reporter probes visualize activated caspase-1, and cells are stained with a fluorescent dye for nuclei...

An In Vitro Technique to Study Inflammasome Complex Formation in Macrophages

This video demonstrates a technique to study NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome formation in primary macrophages via immunofluorescence. The macrophages are first primed with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to upregulate NLRP3 protein expression. Exposing the macrophages to nigericin—a potassium ionophore—leads to the activation of NLRP3 and the formation of inflammasomes, which are visualized via...

Detection of Inflammasome Activation and Pyroptotic Cell Death in Murine Bone Marrow-derived Macrophages

We describe the detection of NLRP3 inflammasome activation on cellular basis using fluorescence microscopy and staining for active caspase-1 and the adaptor, ASC. A lactate dehydrogenase release assay is presented to detect pyroptotic lysis on a population basis. These techniques can be adapted to study many aspects of inflammasome...

The Spindle Assembly Checkpoint02:19

The Spindle Assembly Checkpoint

The spindle assembly checkpoint is a molecular surveillance mechanism ensuring the fidelity of chromosome segregation during anaphase. The checkpoint monitors the completion of all the prerequisite steps before chromosome segregation to determine whether the segregation process should proceed or be delayed.
Many proteins function together to control the spindle assembly checkpoint. Mutations affecting these proteins may allow cells to proceed into anaphase prematurely, resulting in the...

Visualization of G3BP Stress Granules Dynamics in Live Primary Cells

Stress granules (SGs) are cytoplasmic RNA granules containing stalled ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs), and important in cellular response to various stresses. Dynamics of SGs can be followed in live cells by visualizing the localization of a tagged component of SGs in transfected primary cells after...
