Quantitative dynamic footprinting microscopy reveals mechanisms of neutrophil rolling.

ABSTRACT: We introduce quantitative dynamic footprinting microscopy to resolve neutrophil rolling on P-selectin. We observed that the footprint of a rolling neutrophil was fourfold larger than previously thought, and that P-selectin-PSGL-1 bonds were relaxed at the leading edge of the rolling cell, compressed under the cell center, and stretched at the trailing edge. Each rolling neutrophil formed three to four long tethers that extended up to 16 ?m behind the rolling cell.

Quantitative N-Terminal Footprinting of Pathogenic Mycobacteria Reveals Differential Protein Acetylation.

Project description:N-terminal acetylation (NTA) is a post-transcriptional modification of proteins that is conserved from bacteria to humans. In bacteria, the enzymes that mediate protein NTA also promote antimicrobial resistance. In pathogenic mycobacteria, which cause human tuberculosis and other chronic infections, NTA has been linked to pathogenesis and stress response, yet the fundamental biology underlying NTA of mycobacterial proteins remains unclear. We enriched, defined, and quantified the NT-acetylated populations of both cell-associated and secreted proteins from both the human pathogen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the nontuberculous opportunistic pathogen, Mycobacterium marinum. We used a parallel N-terminal enrichment strategy from proteolytic digests coupled to charge-based selection and stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry. We show that NTA of the mycobacterial proteome is abundant, diverse, and primarily on Thr residues, which is unique compared with other bacteria. We isolated both the acetylated and unacetylated forms of 256 proteins, indicating that NTA of mycobacterial proteins is homeostatic. We identified 16 mycobacterial proteins with differential levels of NTA on the cytoplasmic and secreted forms, linking protein modification and localization. Our findings reveal novel biology underlying the NTA of mycobacterial proteins, which may provide a basis to understand NTA in mycobacterial physiology, pathogenesis, and antimicrobial resistance.

Dynamic shifts in LFA-1 affinity regulate neutrophil rolling, arrest, and transmigration on inflamed endothelium.

Project description:Polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) recruitment to vascular endothelium during acute inflammation involves cooperation between selectins, G-proteins, and beta2-integrins. LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18) affinity correlates with specific adhesion functions because a shift from low to intermediate affinity supports rolling on ICAM-1, whereas high affinity is associated with shear-resistant leukocyte arrest. We imaged PMN adhesion on cytokine-inflamed endothelium in a parallel-plate flow chamber to define the dynamics of beta2-integrin function during recruitment and transmigration. After arrest on inflamed endothelium, high-affinity LFA-1 aligned along the uropod-pseudopod major axis, which was essential for efficient neutrophil polarization and subsequent transmigration. An allosteric small molecule inhibitor targeted to the I-domain stabilized LFA-1 in an intermediate-affinity conformation, which supported neutrophil rolling but inhibited cell polarization and abrogated transmigration. We conclude that a shift in LFA-1 from intermediate to high affinity during the transition from rolling to arrest provides the contact-mediated signaling and guidance necessary for PMN transmigration on inflamed endothelium.

Functional imaging with dynamic quantitative oblique back-illumination microscopy.

Project description:SignificanceQuantitative oblique back-illumination microscopy (qOBM) is a recently developed label-free imaging technique that enables 3D quantitative phase imaging of thick scattering samples with epi-illumination. Here, we propose dynamic qOBM to achieve functional imaging based on subcellular dynamics, potentially indicative of metabolic activity. We show the potential utility of this novel technique by imaging adherent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) grown in bioreactors, which can help address important unmet needs in cell manufacturing for therapeutics.AimWe aim to develop dynamic qOBM and demonstrate its potential for functional imaging based on cellular and subcellular dynamics.ApproachTo obtain functional images with dynamic qOBM, a sample is imaged over a period of time and its temporal signals are analyzed. The dynamic signals display an exponential frequency response that can be analyzed with phasor analysis. Functional images of the dynamic signatures are obtained by mapping the frequency dynamic response to phasor space and color-coding clustered signals.ResultsFunctional imaging with dynamic qOBM provides unique information related to subcellular activity. The functional qOBM images of MSCs not only improve conspicuity of cells in complex environments (e.g., porous micro-carriers) but also reveal two distinct cell populations with different dynamic behavior.ConclusionsIn this work we present a label-free, fast, and scalable functional imaging approach to study and intuitively display cellular and subcellular dynamics. We further show the potential utility of this novel technique to help monitor adherent MSCs grown in bioreactors, which can help achieve quality-by-design of cell products, a significant unmet need in the field of cell therapeutics. This approach also has great potential for dynamic studies of other thick samples, such as organoids.

'Slings' enable neutrophil rolling at high shear.

Project description:Most leukocytes can roll along the walls of venules at low shear stress (1?dyn?cm?2), but neutrophils have the ability to roll at tenfold higher shear stress in microvessels in vivo. The mechanisms involved in this shear-resistant rolling are known to involve cell flattening and pulling of long membrane tethers at the rear. Here we show that these long tethers do not retract as postulated, but instead persist and appear as 'slings' at the front of rolling cells. We demonstrate slings in a model of acute inflammation in vivo and on P-selectin in vitro, where P-selectin-glycoprotein-ligand-1 (PSGL-1) is found in discrete sticky patches whereas LFA-1 is expressed over the entire length on slings. As neutrophils roll forward, slings wrap around the rolling cells and undergo a step-wise peeling from the P-selectin substrate enabled by the failure of PSGL-1 patches under hydrodynamic forces. The 'step-wise peeling of slings' is distinct from the 'pulling of tethers' reported previously. Each sling effectively lays out a cell-autonomous adhesive substrate in front of neutrophils rolling at high shear stress during inflammation.

Application of quantitative second-harmonic generation microscopy to dynamic conditions.

Project description:We present a quantitative second-harmonic generation (SHG) imaging technique that quantifies the 2D spatial organization of collagen fiber samples under dynamic conditions, as an image is acquired. The technique is demonstrated for both a well-aligned tendon sample and a randomly aligned, sparsely distributed collagen scaffold sample. For a fixed signal-to-noise ratio, we confirm the applicability of this method for various window sizes (pixel areas) as well as with using a gridded overlay map that allows for correlations of fiber orientations within a given image. This work has direct impact to in vivo biological studies by incorporating simultaneous SHG image acquisition and analysis.

Quantitative microscopy reveals dynamics and fate of clustered IRE1α.

Project description:The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane-resident stress sensor inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) governs the most evolutionarily conserved branch of the unfolded protein response. Upon sensing an accumulation of unfolded proteins in the ER lumen, IRE1 activates its cytoplasmic kinase and ribonuclease domains to transduce the signal. IRE1 activity correlates with its assembly into large clusters, yet the biophysical characteristics of IRE1 clusters remain poorly characterized. We combined superresolution microscopy, single-particle tracking, fluorescence recovery, and photoconversion to examine IRE1 clustering quantitatively in living human and mouse cells. Our results revealed that: 1) In contrast to qualitative impressions gleaned from microscopic images, IRE1 clusters comprise only a small fraction (∼5%) of the total IRE1 in the cell; 2) IRE1 clusters have complex topologies that display features of higher-order organization; 3) IRE1 clusters contain a diffusionally constrained core, indicating that they are not phase-separated liquid condensates; 4) IRE1 molecules in clusters remain diffusionally accessible to the free pool of IRE1 molecules in the general ER network; 5) when IRE1 clusters disappear at later time points of ER stress as IRE1 signaling attenuates, their constituent molecules are released back into the ER network and not degraded; 6) IRE1 cluster assembly and disassembly are mechanistically distinct; and 7) IRE1 clusters' mobility is nearly independent of cluster size. Taken together, these insights define the clusters as dynamic assemblies with unique properties. The analysis tools developed for this study will be widely applicable to investigations of clustering behaviors in other signaling proteins.

Quantitative multicolor super-resolution microscopy reveals tetherin HIV-1 interaction.

Project description:Virus assembly and interaction with host-cell proteins occur at length scales below the diffraction limit of visible light. Novel super-resolution microscopy techniques achieve nanometer resolution of fluorescently labeled molecules. The cellular restriction factor tetherin (also known as CD317, BST-2 or HM1.24) inhibits the release of human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) through direct incorporation into viral membranes and is counteracted by the HIV-1 protein Vpu. For super-resolution analysis of HIV-1 and tetherin interactions, we established fluorescence labeling of HIV-1 proteins and tetherin that preserved HIV-1 particle formation and Vpu-dependent restriction, respectively. Multicolor super-resolution microscopy revealed important structural features of individual HIV-1 virions, virus assembly sites and their interaction with tetherin at the plasma membrane. Tetherin localization to micro-domains was dependent on both tetherin membrane anchors. Tetherin clusters containing on average 4 to 7 tetherin dimers were visualized at HIV-1 assembly sites. Combined biochemical and super-resolution analysis revealed that extended tetherin dimers incorporate both N-termini into assembling virus particles and restrict HIV-1 release. Neither tetherin domains nor HIV-1 assembly sites showed enrichment of the raft marker GM1. Together, our super-resolution microscopy analysis of HIV-1 interactions with tetherin provides new insights into the mechanism of tetherin-mediated HIV-1 restriction and paves the way for future studies of virus-host interactions.

XL-DNase-seq: improved footprinting of dynamic transcription factors.

Project description:BackgroundAs the cost of high-throughput sequencing technologies decreases, genome-wide chromatin accessibility profiling methods such as the assay of transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) are employed widely, with data accumulating at an unprecedented rate. However, accurate inference of protein occupancy requires higher-resolution footprinting analysis where major hurdles exist, including the sequence bias of nucleases and the short-lived chromatin binding of many transcription factors (TFs) with consequent lack of footprints.ResultsHere we introduce an assay termed cross-link (XL)-DNase-seq, designed to capture chromatin interactions of dynamic TFs. Mild cross-linking improved the detection of DNase-based footprints of dynamic TFs but interfered with ATAC-based footprinting of the same TFs.ConclusionsXL-DNase-seq may help extract novel gene regulatory circuits involving previously undetectable TFs. The DNase-seq and ATAC-seq data generated in our systematic comparison of various cross-linking conditions also represent an unprecedented-scale resource derived from activated mouse macrophage-like cells which share many features of inflammatory macrophages.
