In fact, they are often considered the earliest pathological phenomena in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's Disease or the locus of pathology as in stroke. Still, little is known about the mechanistic and cellular level events that contribute to these impairments. Given the importance of the neurovascular unit (NVU) in maintaining functional brain tissue, alterations to NVU cell types are important to study in the context of disease progression. With the use of two-photon microscopy, microvessels and cells can be imaged and evaluated throughout disease progression. Herein we aim to provide a comprehensive protocol for setting up and using two-photon microscopy for serial imaging of neurovascular unit cell types (i.e., pericytes, astrocytes, and microglia). We also describe interpreting results from cell and vessel changes based on disease or functional tests through multiple timepoints. © 2025 The Author(s).

The primary goal is to assess how varying levels of task complexity affect motor learning and to characterize the corresponding neural activity. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) are used to establish marginal models for the statistical analysis of factors influencing motor learning. This protocol has potential use for therapeutic applications, particularly in neurological rehabilitation contexts, where the findings could help inform recovery protocols for patients with motor impairments, such as stroke survivors. By establishing a clear understanding of motor learning stages and associated brain activity, this research could guide the development of noninvasive brain stimulation techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), in rehabilitative treatments.

In almost all in vitro studies, miRNA mimics are used to overexpress them to understand their role in various cellular processes. These mimics are also utilized as therapeutics for various diseases, such as scleroderma, mesothelioma, and multiple solid tumors. Commercial miRNA mimics are chemically synthesized, followed by HPLC purification. This article describes a simple in vitro transcription (IVT) procedure to generate miRNA mimics from DNA templates using RNA polymerase, followed by purification using silica-based columns and annealing. The procedure is economical and quick. Produced miRNA mimics can be overexpressed in mammalian cells using transfection agents. A comparison between chemically synthesized miRNA mimics and IVT-synthesized miRNA mimics demonstrates similar efficiencies in post-transcriptional regulation. After poly(A) polymerase-mediated cDNA synthesis, validation is performed by qPCR expression analysis of target genes. Alternatively, miRNA mimics can be validated by immunoblotting target proteins.

HDAC inhibitors exhibit neuroprotective, antiepileptogenic, and antidepressant properties in animal models, underscoring their clinical relevance. Quantifying HDAC activity is essential for identifying inhibitors and evaluating their effects under physiological or pathological conditions. This article outlines a comprehensive, sensitive, and robust assay to quantify HDAC activity in tissue lysates, with specific application to brain tissue. The assay is based on the catalytic removal of an acetyl group from the Boc-Lys(Ac)-AMC substrate by HDAC enzymes. Following nuclear protein extraction, tissue HDAC activity can be quantitatively assessed using a fluorometric Boc-Lys(Ac) HDAC activity kit. Adding a developer containing trypsin then converts the deacetylated product into a measurable fluorophore. This enables precise quantification of HDAC activity levels across different tissues, making the method suitable for screening putative HDAC inhibitors and assessing their effects on epigenetically modulated phenotypes. We validated these protocols using brain tissue samples from mice subjected to traumatic brain injury, a condition known to elevate HDAC activity levels. This assay provides an efficient, scalable tool for exploring HDAC function, evaluating therapeutic interventions, and advancing the understanding of HDAC-mediated mechanisms in animal models. © 2025 The Author(s).

Controlling <i>Fusarium</i> wilt diseases is challenging due to the persistence of pathogen spores in infested fields and the growing resistance to available fungicides. Understanding the molecular interactions between <i>F. oxysporum</i> and its host plants is crucial for developing novel control strategies, but studying these interactions is difficult because <i>F. oxysporum</i> invades plant roots long before wilt symptoms can be detected in above-ground tissues. To illuminate the hidden interactions between <i>F. oxysporum</i> and its plant hosts, we present three confocal microscopy protocols for visualizing fungal colonization in plant tissues and the associated plant responses. The first protocol employs wheat germ agglutinin–Alexa Fluor 488 and propidium iodide to stain fungal cells and plant host tissues, respectively. The second uses sirofluor to detect deposition of callose, a (1,3)-β-glucan polymer found in plant cell walls that plays a significant role in plant defense. The third utilizes fluorescent protein–tagged fungal isolates and a stable transgenic <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> line, providing a clean and easily accessible system for visualizing early infection stages.

It remains difficult to determine if there are common genetic mechanisms contributing to clinically distinct conditions or if expression of both conditions relates to other shared risk factors. For example, in some situations, genetic variation may increase risk for one condition, and expression of this condition then increases risk for another disease. Identifying potentially pleiotropic genes is crucial for advancing the development of more effective treatment options, especially in instances where current therapies are insufficient. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide cross-trait associations but do not provide the full functionality of how dysfunction in genes being tagged by GWAS hits are contributing to two or more distinct phenotypes. Fortunately, as other types of available data continue to grow exponentially (e.g., RNA-seq, mass spectrometry, mouse knock-out phenotype associations), these can be leveraged to help process GWAS results into meaningful information. The aim of this protocol is to provide clear instructions for using various databases and available software tools to identify key pleiotropic genes contributing to two distinct phenotypes of interest. The protocol uses information from various publicly available databases, including GWAS Catalog, Functional Mapping and Annotation (FUMA), Drosophila RNAi Screening Center Integrative Ortholog Prediction Tool (DIOPT), International Mouse Phenotype Consortium (IMPC), STRINGdb, Pharos, and Cytoscape for network visualization. This pipeline, with code written in R and RStudio software, helps the user identify and generate hypotheses about shared genetic mechanisms contributing to their selected phenotypes of interest as well as prioritize genes of interest to functionally follow up in model systems that are more likely to be clinically relevant. © 2025 Wiley Periodicals LLC.</p><p><b>Basic Protocol</b>: Pleiotropic gene prioritization pipeline for studies in model systems</p>","PeriodicalId":93970,"journal":{"name":"Current protocols","volume":"5 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144244596","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}
