Article Title: Automatic optimization of flat-field corrections by evaluation and enhancement (EVEN) in multimodal optical microscopy

doi: 10.1038/s41467-025-68150-0

Figure Lengend Snippet: A three-channel fluorescence microscopy measurement of stained HEK293 cells measured by Ph2 objective is automatically optimized by EVEN (prediction dataset 2, red: peroxisomal proteins (anti-GFP nanobody); green: TOMM20 protein; blue: peroxisomal proteins (eGFP)). a Raw multi-channel image. The inset shows the 2 × 2 tile section of the image used in this figure, with dashed white lines marking tile borders. Multiple corrections are obtained by applying BaSiC, CIDRE, Fourier methods, and then optimizing the multi-channel image with EVEN. EVEN selects CIDRE for the red and green channel, and Fourier for the blue channel. b Steps to analyse the measurements of stained cells: multi-channel images are converted to greyscale by summing the single channels (that contain signals from different components of the cytoplasm) and are analysed with automatic cells segmentation using Cellpose . The greyscale image is obtained for the raw measurement, the single-channel corrections and the EVEN optimization. c Intensity sum (along y) of the greyscale inset for each method. The black dashed line indicates the border between neighbouring tiles. The corrected images show higher intensities at the edges of the tiles and the enhancement of sample features. EVEN and CIDRE show the greatest intensity recovery between tiles. d Top row: multi-channel images obtained with single-method corrections and EVEN optimization; the white dashed boxes highlight two regions significantly improved by EVEN. Bottom row: Cellpose prediction on the greyscale sum of the three channels for each method. After correction of uneven illumination, Cellpose can outline a greater number of cells, especially at the borders of neighbouring tiles. White dashed boxes highlight three regions where EVEN optimization provides better identification of the cells compared to non-optimized images. Bottom labels show, for each image, the normalized EVEN score summed over three channels and the cell count in the zoomed region. While counts are not strictly correlated with segmentation performance, good correction of uneven illumination enhances downstream analysis and generally increases the number of detected cells. Further quantification is provided in Supplementary Fig. . Scale bar: 180 µm, size of a single tile.

Article Snippet: Additionally, immunolabeling was performed on TOMM20-protein with anti-Tomm20 rabbit polyclonal antibodies (proteintech, USA), dilution 1:200, and goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibodies labelled with Abberior STAR Orange (Abberior, Germany) at a dilution of 1:350.

Article Title: The Legionella effector RidL promotes mitochondrial fragmentation through phosphorylation activation of the large GTPase Drp1

doi: 10.1101/2025.10.07.680855

Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) A549 cells depleted (48 h) by siRNA for Arf, Drp1, or Dnm1 were infected (MOI 10, 24 h) with GFP-producing L. pneumophila JR32 or Δ icmT (pNT28), and intracellular replication was assessed by GFP fluorescence using a microtiter plate reader. Graphs show the relative intracellular replication (normalized to GFP signal 1 h p.i.) and represent means + SEM of three independent experiments (Student’s t -test, *, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.01). ( B ) Mitochondria were isolated by differential centrifugation and sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation from HeLa cells infected (MOI 100, 6 h) with GFP-producing L. pneumophila JR32, ΔicmT , ΔridL , or ΔridL _ ridL (pNT28 or pIF009). Western blot of RidL in cytoplasmic (cyt) and purified mitochondrial (mito) fractions; apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) served as a mitochondrial or cytoplasmic marker, respectively. The figure shown is representative for 3 independent experiments. ( C ) HEK293 cells were transfected (24 h) for ectopic production of GFP-RidL (RidL, pKB248), GFP-RidL 9-258 (RidL N , pKB249) or GFP-RidL 259-1167 (RidL C , pKB250), mitochondria were isolated, and the GFP fusion proteins were detected by anti-GFP Western blot in the cell lysate (lys) and purified mitochondrial (mito) fractions. The figure shown is representative for 3 independent experiments. ( D ) Quantification of (C). Signal intensities of GFP and AIF were calculated by Image J. Bars show relative GFP signal in pure mitochondria fractions. Means + SEM of 3 independent experiments are shown (Student’s t- test, **, p < 0.01). ( E, F ) Fluorescence micrographs of HeLa cells infected (MOI 25, 2 h) with mCerulean-producing L. pneumophila JR23, Δ icmT , Δ ridL or Δ ridL_ridL (pNP99 or pKB208). Mitochondria were visualized with MitoTracker Deep Red, and immuno-labelled with specific antibodies against ( E ) Drp1 or ( F ) Tom20 (green) to quantify the localization of these proteins to mitochondria. ( G ) Quantification of signal overlap in (E) and ( H ) quantification of signal overlap in (F) show 75 infected cells from three independent experiments (each dot is a cell; Student’s t -test, ****, p < 0.0001). The brightness of fluorescence signals was linearly increased in Image J for enhanced visibility (A, B); original signal intensities of the images were processed for quantification (C, D).
