Figure Lengend Snippet: BCoV entry into HRT-18 cells depends on dynamin. ( A ) The maximum safe concentrations of dynasore were determined using the CCK-8 assay. ( B ) Western blot analysis was used to evaluate the BCoV N protein expression levels, with grayscale analysis performed and presented as a bar graph. ( C ) RT-qPCR was performed to assess the BCoV gene copy numbers. ( D ) TCID 50 assay was used to measure the BCoV viral titers in the cell supernatant. ( E ) IFA was used to detect the number of BCoV-infected cells. Scale bar = 100 µm. ( F ) RT-qPCR was used to evaluate the effect of dynasore on the viral entry. ( G ) RT-qPCR was used to evaluate the effect of dynasore on the viral attachment. ( H ) The siRNA silencing efficiency of dynamin was screened; the effects of dynamin-silenced cells on BCoV infection were assessed by ( I ) Western blot, ( J ) RT-qPCR, ( K ) TCID 50 , and ( L ) IFA. ( M ) RT-qPCR was used to evaluate the effect of dynamin-silenced cells on the viral entry; ( N ) RT-qPCR was used to evaluate the effects of dynamin-targeting siRNA on BCoV attachment. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments (not significant, P > 0.05; * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001).

Article Title: The pathogenic responses elicited during exposure of human intestinal cell line with Giardia duodenalis excretory-secretory products and the potential attributed endocytosis mechanism

doi: 10.1007/s00430-024-00806-y

Figure Lengend Snippet: Unless otherwise specified, Caco-2 cells were exposed to Giardia ESPs for the indicated time periods. (A) Upon exposure of IECs with the amount of ESPs of 20, 40 and 100 μg/mL, the mRNA levels of dynamin, clathrin and caveolin-1 were assessed by qPCR analysis. The comparisons were made with the first group of the graph. (B-D) Cells were exposed to ESPs at the concentration of 20 μg/mL. (B) The expression levels of clathrin and caveolin-1 were determined by western blot analysis. (C) Anti-ESP PAB was used to indicate the bonding between ESPs and IECs after a 3-h exposure (scale bar = 20 μm). (D) Binding between ESPs and clathrin/caveolin-1 was assessed by co-IP analysis. All experiments were repeated four times. Data from triplicate wells from a representative of four independent experiments are presented as means ± SD. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.

Article Snippet: We used dynamin inhibitor dynasore (100 μM in use; Abmole, Houston, USA), clathrin inhibitor chlorpromazine (CPZ) (10 μM; Abmole, Houston, USA), and caveolin-1 inhibitor genistein (100 μM; Selleck, Shanghai, China) in inhibition analyses.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Dynasore was dissolved in 0.1% DMSO for use and shown as “dynasore + DMSO” panel here. Caco-2 cells were exposed to Giardia ESPs at the concentration of 20 μg/mL for 3 h. (A) Dynamin inhibition by dynasore blocked the interactions between ESPs and IECs as assessed by immunofluorescence analysis (scale bar = 20 μm). (B and C) Dynamin inhibition attenuated ESPs-induced cleavage of CASP-3, CASP-9 and PARP and elevation of Bax to Bcl-2 ratio as assessed by western blot and gray value analyses. (C) “Control” was compared to “ESPs”, and “ESPs” was compared to “ESPs + dynasore + DMSO”. (D) Dynamin inhibition suppressed ESPs-induced IEC apoptosis as assessed by AO/EB staining (scale bar = 100 μm). (E) Dynamin inhibition suppressed ESPs-induced upregulation of intracellular NLRP3 and TNF-α and released IL-1β and IL-18 as assessed by western blotting. (F) Dynamin inhibition protected claudin-1, claudin-4, occludin and ZO-1 expressions from being influenced by ESP exposure. (G and H) Dynamin inhibition blocked ESPs-induced elevation of LC3-II to LC3-I ratio and reversed ESPs-induced downregulation of p62 as assessed by western blot and gray value analyses. (H) “Control” was compared to “ESPs”, and “ESPs” was compared to “ESPs + dynasore + DMSO”. All experiments were repeated three times. Data from triplicate wells from a representative of three independent experiments are presented as means ± SD. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.

Article Title: Dynamin 2-mediated endocytosis of BLT1 is required for IL-8 production in HMC-1 cells induced by Trichomonas vaginalis -derived secretory products

doi: 10.3347/PHD.24049

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of dynamin inhibitor (Dynasore) on IL-8 production in HMC-1 cells stimulated with TvSP or LTB 4 . HMC-1 cells were stimulated for 6 (A) or 16 h (B) with or without TvSP in the presence or absence of Dynasore. The amount of IL-8 in culture supernatant was measured by human IL-8 ELISA. Data are expressed as the mean±SD from 4 independent experiments. Significant differences from the values obtained with cells incubated with DMSO in TvSP- or LTB 4 -treated groups are shown.
