In this paper, we demonstrated that the gradual formation of a surface relief grating (SRG) in azopolymer thin films under continuous light exposure could be directly observed in situ and in real-time, allowing full-field characterization.

Abstract Mounting evidence suggests that distinct microbial communities reside in tumors and play important roles in tumor physiology. Recently, Nejman et al. profiled the composition and localization of intratumoral bacteria using 16S DNA sequencing and histological visualization methods across seven tumor types, including human glioblastoma. However, considering potential contamination in their sample origins and processing, the results based on traditional histological methods need to be validated. Here, we propose a three-dimensional (3D) intratumoral microbiota visualization and quantification protocol to observe microbiota in intact tumor tissues on the premise of avoiding possible contamination in the surface of tissues, based on tissue clearing, immunofluorescent labeling, microscopy imaging, and image processing. For the first time, we have achieved 3D quantitative imaging of bacterial LPS fluorescent signals deep in gliomas in a contamination-free manner, which was founded mostly localized near nuclear membranes or in the intercellular space. Through an automated statistical algorithm, reliable signals can be distinguished for further analysis of their sizes, distribution, and fluorescence intensities. Combining two-dimensional images from multiple thin-section histological methods, including immunochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization, we provide a comprehensive histological investigation of the morphology and distribution of these signals on human glioma samples. We expect that this multi-evidence chain will provide supporting proof for the presence of intratumoral bacteria in human glioma and that the integrated pipeline can be applied to investigate the native bacteria within diverse tumors and contribute to the interpretation of their direct roles in the tumor microenvironment.

AbstractFamilial Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (F-ALS) is an incurable, late onset motor neuron disease, linked strongly to various causative genetic loci. ALS8 codes for a missense mutation, P56S, in VAMP-associated Protein B (VAPB) that causes the protein to misfold and form cellular aggregates. Uncovering genes and mechanisms that affect aggregation dynamics would greatly help increase our understanding of the disease and lead to potential therapeutics.Here, we develop a quantitative high-throughput, Drosophila S2R+ cell-based kinetic assay coupled with fluorescent microscopy to score for genes involved in the modulation of aggregates of fly ortholog, VAP(P58S), tagged with GFP. As proof of principle, we conducted a targeted RNAi screen against 900 genes, consisting of VAP genetic interactors, other ALS loci, as also genes involved in proteostasis. The screen identified 150 hits that modify aggregation, including the ALS loci SOD1, TDP43 and also genes belonging to the TOR pathway.To validate these modifiers, we developed a system to measure the extent of VAP(P58S) aggregation in the Drosophila third instar larval brain using the UAS-GAL4 system, followed by quantitative imaging of cellular inclusions. We find that reduction of SOD1 activity or decreased TOR signalling reduces aggregation. Interestingly, we find that increase in cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, assessed by measuring oxidation of cellular lipids and proteins, in response to SOD1 knockdown or by inhibition of TOR signalling appears to be the trigger for clearing of aggregates. The mechanism of aggregate clearance is, primarily, the proteasomal machinery, and not autophagy. Increase in VAP, but not VAP(P58S) levels, appears to elevate ROS, which may in turn regulate VAP transcription in a feedback loop.We have thus uncovered an interesting interplay between SOD1, ROS and TOR signalling that regulates the dynamics of VAP aggregation. Mechanistic processes underlying such cellular regulatory networks will lead us to a better understanding of initiation and progression of ALS.
