The yin and yang of hsa-miR-1244 expression levels during activation of the UPR control cell fate - Raw data for label-free holographic microscopy

<p>Regulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) homeostasis plays a critical role in maintaining cell survival. When ER stress occurs, a network of three pathways called the unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated to reestablish homeostasis. While it is known that there is cross-talk between these pathways, how this complex network is regulated is not entirely clear. Using human cancer and non-cancer cell lines, two different genome-wide approaches, and two different ER stress models, we searched for miRNAs that were decreased during the UPR and surprisingly found only one, miR-1244, that was found in all these conditions. The activation of both UPR adaptive and apoptotic signaling pathway was confirmed by parallel genome-wide mRNA expression arrays for Calu 3 cells and next generation sequencing for 16HBE14o- cells. We also verified that ER-stress related downregulation of miR-1244 expression occurred with 5 different ER stressors and was confirmed in another human cell line (HeLa S3). These analyses demonstrated that the outcome of this reduction during ER stress supported both IRE1 signaling and elevated BIP expression. Further analysis also revealed that this novel miRNA impacted all three pathways of the UPR using inhibitors specific for IRE1, ATF6, and PERK. This is the first example of a complex mechanism by which this miRNA serves as a regulatory check point for all 3 pathways that is switched off after UPR activation. In summary, the results indicate that ER stress reduction of <em>miR-1244 </em>expression contributes to the pro-survival arm of UPR.</p> <p>For real-time monitoring of cell viability, we applied real-time and label-free holographic microscopy-based monitoring of cell death and viability using HoloMonitor M4<strong>&reg;</strong> time-lapse cytometer (Phase Holographic Imaging PHI AB, Lund, Sweden). Holographic microscopy was used to follow the optical thickness and irregularity of cells exposed for up to 24 h to Tm or Tg in the presence or absence of <em>miR-1244 </em>mimic or antagomiR. The images from up to 8 independent optical fields were collected and analyzed according to manufacture instructions with HoloMonitor&reg; App Suite software. Healthy cells are irregular in shape and thin, whereas dying cells are round and thick . For all analysis, the same cells parameters qualification was applied.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Figure 4.

Label-free adaptive optics single-molecule localization microscopy for whole zebrafish

<p>The specimen-induced aberration has been a major factor limiting the imaging depth of single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). Here, we report the application of label-free wavefront sensing adaptive optics to SMLM for deep-tissue super-resolution imaging. The proposed system measures complex tissue aberrations from intrinsic reflectance rather than fluorescence emission and physically corrects the wavefront distortion more than three-fold stronger than the previous limit. This enables us to resolve sub-diffraction morphologies of cilia and oligodendrocytes in whole zebrafish as well as dendritic spines in thick mouse brain tissues at the depth of up to 102 &mu;m with localization number enhancement by up to 37 times and localization precision comparable to aberration-free samples. The proposed approach can expand the application range of SMLM to whole zebrafish that cause the loss of localization points owing to severe tissue aberrations.</p>
