[Abstract] The DNA combing method allows the analysis of DNA replication at the level of individual DNA molecules stretched along silane-coated glass coverslips. Before DNA extraction, ongoing DNA synthesis is labeled with halogenated analogues of thymidine. Replication tracks are visualized by immunofluorescence using specific antibodies. Unlike biochemical and NGS-based methods, DNA combing provides unique information on cell-to-cell variations in DNA replication profiles, including initiation and elongation. Finally, this assay can be used to monitor the effect of DNA lesions on fork progression, ...
[摘要] DNA梳理方法允许在沿着硅烷涂覆的玻璃盖玻片拉伸的单个DNA分子的水平上分析DNA复制。在DNA提取前,进行的DNA合成用胸苷的卤化类似物标记。使用特异性抗体通过免疫荧光可视化复制轨迹。与生物化学和基于NGS的方法不同,DNA梳理提供了DNA复制谱中细胞间细胞变化的独特信息,包括引发和延长。最后,该测定可用于监测DNA损伤对叉进展,停止和重新启动的影响。
背景 在称为复制起点的真核染色体上的数千个位点处启动DNA合成。原始激活遵循由检查点激酶和染色质的表观遗传修饰(Prioleau和MacAlpine,2016)控制的定义良好的复制计时程序。复制叉在正常S阶段经常停顿。叉停止是由多个事件引起的,例如DNA损伤,紧密结合的蛋白质复合物和高表达基因的转录(Tourriere和Pasero 2007; Zeman and Cimprich,2013)。真核生物已经制定了不同的策略来应对这种复制压力,包括修复机制来重新启动捕获的叉子和激活休眠复制起源以抢救终末抓捕的叉。   ...

[Abstract] Cell Proliferation assays include an important set of fluorescence-based tests that can monitor cell health and cell division by evaluating DNA synthesis through thymidine incorporation. Bromodeoxyuridine (5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine, BrdU) is a synthetic nucleoside that is an analogue of thymidine. BrdU is commonly used in the detection of proliferating cells in living tissues. BrdU can be incorporated into the newly synthesized DNA of replicating cells (during the S phase of the cell cycle), substituting for thymidine during DNA replication. Antibodies specific for BrdU can then be used to ...
[摘要] 细胞增殖测试是一个重要的基于荧光检测的实验,可以监测细胞健康和通过胸苷掺合来估量DNA合成从而监测细胞分裂。溴脱氧尿苷(5-溴代-2'-脱氧尿苷, BrdU) 是一种合成的核苷酸即胸苷的类似物. BrdU通常被用于检测活组织中再生的细胞。 BrdU可以掺合到复制细胞中新的合成的DNA中去(在细胞周期的S期),在DNA复制是代替胸苷。. BrdU 特异性抗体可以用于检测这个参入的化学品,从而检测出细胞是否在复制其DNA。对抗体的结合需要DNA变形,通常将细胞置于酸性环境或者加热。掺合的BrdU通常通过标记抗BrdU的抗体和DNA染料碘化丙啶(PI)而用流式细胞仪检测来实现对细胞周期的检测。
