| 1 | Plastins:versatile modulators of actin organization in (patho)physiological cellular processes显示文摘Many actin-binding proteins are expressed in eukaryotic cells. These polypeptides assist in stabilizing and rearranging the organization of the actin cytoskeleton in response to external stimuli, or during cell migration and adhesion. Here we review a particular set of actin-binding proteins called plastins. Plastins (also called fimbrins) belong to a subclass of actin-binding proteins known as actin bundling proteins. Three isoforms have been characterized in mammals: T-plastin is expressed in cells from solid tissue, whereas L-plastin occurs predominantly in hematopoietic cells. The third isoform, I-plastin, is specifically expressed in the small intestine, colon and kidney. These proteins share the unique property of cross-linking actin filaments into tight bundles. Although plastins are primarily involved in regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, they possess some unique features. For instance, they are implicated in invasion by pathogenic bacteria such as Shigellaflexneri and Salmonella typhimurium. Also, L-plastin plays an important role in leukocyte function. T-plastin, on the other hand, is possibly involved in DNA repair. Finally, both T- and L-plastin are implicated in several diseases, and L-plastin is considered to be a valuable marker for cancer. | Veerle DELANOTE Jo■l VANDEKERCKHOVE Jan GETTEMANS | 2005 | Acta Pharmacologica Sinica2005，26，7： | 8 |
| 2 | Long-term live-cell microscopy with labeled nanobodies delivered by laser-induced photoporation显示文摘Fluorescence microscopy is the method of choice for studying intracellular dynamics.However,its success depends on the.availability of specific and stable markers.A prominent example of markers that are rapidly gaining interest are nanobodies(Nbs.-15 kDa),which can be functionalized with bright and photostable organic fluorophores.Due to their relatively small size and high specificity,Nbs offer great potential for high-quality long-term subcellular imaging,but suffer from the fact that they cannot spontaneously cross the plasma membrane of live cells.We have recently discovered that laser-induced photoporation is well suited to deliver extrinsic labels to living cells without compromising their viability.Being a laser-based technology,it is readily compatible with light microscopy and the typical cell recipients used for that.Spurred by these promising initial results,we demonstrate here for the first time successful long-term imaging of specific subcellular structures with labeled nanobodies in living cells.We illustrate this using Nbs that target GFP/YFP-protein constructs accessible in the cytoplasm,actin-bundling protein Fascin,and the histone H2A/H2B heterodimers.With an efficiency of more than 80%labeled cells and minimal toxicity(-2%),photoporation proved to be an excellent intracellular delivery method for Nbs.Time-lapse microscopy revealed that cell division rate and migration remained unaffected,confirming excellent cell viability and functionality.We conclude that laser-induced photoporation labeled Nbs can be easily delivered into living cells,laying the foundation for further development of a broad range of Nbs with intracellular targets as a toolbox for long-term live-cell microscopy. | Jing Liu Tim Hebbrecht Toon Brans Eef Parthoens Saskia Lippens Chengnan Li Herlinde De Keersmaecker Winnok H.De Vos Stefaan C.De Smedt Rabah Boukherroub Jan Gettemans Ranhua Xiong Kevin Braeckmans | 2020 | Nano Research2020，13，2： | 0 |
