Overview

This protocol aims to assess autophagic levels in pancreatic cancer and pancreatic acinar cells by utilizing LC3 immunofluorescence and quantifying LC3 dots. The study investigates the impact of gemcitabine on autophagy, highlighting the distribution of LC3 protein within the cells.

Key Study Components

Research Area

  • Autophagy in pancreatic cells
  • Effects of gemcitabine treatment
  • Immunofluorescence techniques

Background

  • Study of autophagy is crucial for understanding pancreatic cancer
  • LC3 protein is a key marker for autophagy
  • Conventional fixation methods may impede accurate immunolabeling

Methods Used

  • LC3 immunofluorescence
  • Pancreatic acinar and cancer cell lines
  • Image analysis using 3D objects counter

Main Results

  • Increased LC3 dots under gemcitabine treatment indicate heightened autophagic activity.
  • Effective visualization of LC3 distribution was achieved with cold methanol fixation.
  • Demonstrated that cell morphology affects LC3 distribution perception.

Conclusions

  • The study effectively demonstrates a protocol for analyzing autophagic levels in pancreatic cells.
  • Results are pivotal for further research on molecular pathways related to autophagy in pancreatic cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the LC3 immunofluorescence technique?
To determine the levels of autophagy in pancreatic cells without the complications associated with LC3 over-expression.
Why is methanol fixation preferred over paraformaldehyde?
Methanol fixation preserves LC3 proteins more reliably, allowing for clearer immunolabeling results.
How does gemcitabine affect autophagy?
Gemcitabine treatment was shown to significantly increase the number of LC3 dots, indicating enhanced autophagic activity.
What are the crucial steps in the immunofluorescence protocol?
Key steps include cell preparation, fixation, antibody incubation, and imaging analysis.
What technology is used for image analysis in this study?
An inverted confocal microscope combined with Fiji software for quantitative image analysis.
What type of cells are used in this protocol?
Pancreatic cancer and pancreatic acinar cells are utilized for the analysis.
What challenges might affect LC3 localization visualization?
Incomplete fixation and inappropriate time after cell seeding might lead to misleading intracellular distribution observations.

该协议的目标是通过LC3免疫荧光和LC3点定量确定胰腺癌和胰腺腺泡细胞中的自噬水平。

LC3免疫荧光能够测定胰腺细胞中的自噬水平。它允许研究不同药物对胰腺细胞自噬的潜在影响。免疫荧光是一种用于检测内源性LC3蛋白的技术,可避免过度表达LC3引起的问题,例如形成与自噬无关的蛋白质聚集体。

演示该程序的将是博士毕业生Felipe Renna和Maria Ines Vaccaro实验室的博士生Malena Herrera Lopez。要开始细胞制备,将12毫米圆形盖玻片浸泡在无水乙醇中。取下盖子后,将浸泡过的盖玻片垂直放入 24 孔板中。

将多孔板暴露在紫外线辐射下 15 分钟。然后将盖玻片水平放置并用DMEM清洗。现在看到胰腺细胞的低传代数,重新悬浮在DMEM中,含有10%FBS,青霉素和链霉素,并将细胞孵育两天。

细胞接种两天后,在DMEM中以每微升浓度一微克制备吉西他滨溶液。然后在单独的管中从每个孔中吸出一半体积,并加入适量的吉西他滨溶液。将对应于每个孔的一半体积放回处理过的孔中,并将细胞孵育24小时。

为了固定和透化细胞,将冷甲醇加入含有细胞的24孔板中。还要准备一个带有冷PBS的六孔板。使用注射器针头和镊子,取下每张盖玻片并在PBS中清洗两次。

然后在甲醇中孵育六分钟。用PBS洗涤两次后,将盖玻片在封闭溶液中孵育一小时。在封闭溶液中以1:1000的比例加入抗LC3,并保持在冰上。

在多孔盖上放置一块实验室密封膜,并在密封膜上每张盖玻片上加入 25 微升抗 LC3 溶液。使用注射器针头和镊子,将每个盖玻片放在一抗液滴上,确保细胞侧与溶液接触。将多孔板放入湿度室中。

用箔纸盖住,在冰箱中孵育过夜。第二天,从湿度室中取出多孔板。将盖玻片放回多孔板上,并用PBS洗涤三次。

在封闭溶液中以1:800的比例稀释荧光标记的抗兔,并在黑暗中保持冰上。密封多孔盖后,在密封膜上每张盖玻片上加入 25 微升抗兔溶液。并如前所述,用二抗处理盖玻片。

然后将板在室温下在湿度室中孵育两个小时,避光。在用抗体孵育结束时,用PBS洗涤多孔板上的盖玻片三次。将每个盖玻片与准备好的DAPI溶液孵育10分钟。

用PBS洗涤后,将多孔板保持在黑暗中。对于细胞蒙太奇,准备两个装有水和一张纸的烧杯。在载玻片上的每张盖玻片上加入 10 微升 PVA-DABCO 溶液。

用水清洗盖玻片,然后在纸上晾干。最后,将其放在PVA-DABCO下降上。并在黑暗中干燥过夜。

第二天,使用倒置共聚焦显微镜,可视化标记的细胞并捕获图像。捕获图像后,将包含捕获通道的每个图像文件拖放到斐济屏幕中。在对话框中,单击"确定"以打开图像。

然后关闭打开的控制台窗口。从"图像"选项卡中,选择"颜色",然后选择"拆分通道"。关闭与LC3图像以外的通道对应的图像。

然后在"图像"选项卡中,选择"调整",然后选择"色彩平衡"。将最大滑块向左移动,直到图像饱和以可视化单元格轮廓。使用手绘选择工具绘制单元格轮廓,然后单击重置以调整颜色。

要从"编辑"选项卡中剪切所选项目,请选择"剪切",然后关闭图像而不保存它。然后从编辑选项卡中,选择粘贴。在分析菜单中,选择工具 3D 对象计数器。

将阈值设置为 2000,将大小筛选器设置为 50 到 500。确保标记对象和摘要框,然后单击日志窗口 OK.In,点数将被描述为检测到的对象。免疫荧光指示LC3蛋白的细胞分布,而DAPI显示胰腺细胞中的核定位。

吉西他滨处理下LC3点显著增加,表明自噬活性。在过度汇合的情况下,外分泌胰腺细胞往往会堆积并相互叠加生长。多聚甲醛细胞固定方法对保存LC3蛋白无效,因为它不能反映准确的分布。

当接种后无需等待两天即可进行固定或处理时,PANC1细胞呈圆形。这种形态降低了细胞质和细胞核之间的关系,使得难以理解LC3的细胞内分布。不完全甲醇固定可能会干扰LC3免疫标记的正确性,导致图像不清晰和定量欠佳。

在此过程中要记住的最重要的事情是,细胞必须在冷甲醇中固定六分钟,而不是多聚甲醛。按照此过程,可以分析LC3与其他蛋白质之间的共定位,从而可以研究与LC3功能相关的不同分子途径。
