In glioblastoma (GB), autophagy has been implicated in resistance to the chemotherapeutic agent temozolomide (TMZ). This study presents a novel method to accurately measure autophagy flux in TMZ-resistant glioblastoma cells, combining advanced imaging techniques with biochemical assays. By quantifying key autophagy markers such as LC3-II and SQSTM1, our approach provides detailed insights into the dynamic processes of autophagosome formation and clearance under therapeutic stress. This method advances our understanding of autophagy in GB chemoresistance and has significant implications for the development of autophagy-targeted therapies.

These EBs are formed in culture media lacking leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in mouse and human PSCs, respectively. EBs are excellent technical tools for understanding developmental biology and inducing controlled differentiation in succeeding experimental steps. Technically speaking, EBs are spontaneously differentiated PSCs in 3D and exhibit all three lineages in a time-point/sequential manner. For example, ectoderm will form first, followed by mesoderm and endoderm. We have attempted to co-culture human neonatal foreskin-derived fibroblast cells in our laboratory with the PSCs first in 2D conditions followed by the induction of EBs (PSC+fibroblasts co-cultured) in low attachment dishes. We also performed spontaneous differentiation of such EBs (co-cultured with fibroblasts). We checked the presence of markers of various lineages, namely, ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm in days 6, 10, and 12 day EBs. We have also compared the fibroblast co-cultured EBs, along with control EBs (derived from only PSCs). This co-culture system mimics the natural conditions of uterine implantation and the role of the endometrial fibroblasts in the induction of further embryonic development. The fibroblast co-cultured iPSC EBs had better roundness scores than the normal iPSC EBs and had a higher expression of lineage-specific markers.</p>","PeriodicalId":18490,"journal":{"name":"Methods in molecular biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142308110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This protocol reduces the need for feeder cell lines and complex cytokine cocktails used to mature and maintain ILC, instead relying on a native niche of protein signals provided by mucosal epithelial cells. This protocol details the generation of human intestinal organoids (HIO) from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC), and the subsequent establishment of co-cultures between HIO and ILC precursors for expansion and maturation.

Triggered by common lesions, regeneration is stimulated resulting in muscle fiber repair and restoration of muscle homeostasis in normal muscle. In genetic dystrophic muscle, the cycle of degeneration/regeneration is an endless loop that leads to impaired regeneration and substitution of muscle fibers by connective and adipose tissue, causing muscle weakness. Identification and characterization of muscle regeneration steps can help discover potential therapy targets for muscle diseases and aging. Muscle regeneration markers such as the number of satellite cells in the muscle, the proportion of activated satellite cells, and the quantity of regenerating muscle fiber can be quantified using immunolabeling.Here we are presenting a quantitative method to measure muscle regeneration that can be applied to different proposals. To demonstrate the protocol applicability, we used models for acute and chronic muscle injuries. As model of acute degeneration, a wild-type C57BL6 mice with muscle injury induced by electroporation was used, and the muscle was analyzed after 5 and 10 days post-injury.
