Synthetic triterpenoids, 2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9-dien-28-oic acid (CDDO) and its derivatives are known to have potent anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities. The mechanisms of actions of CDDO and its derivatives as potential therapeutics remain elusive. Previous studies found that CDDO-Me triggers apoptosis by inducing extracellular Ca influx followed by endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-derived vacuolation. Since Ca activity in cells is dynamic and needs to be tracked in real time in living cells, we report a high-throughput and high-content imaging method to track CDDO-induced Ca fluctuation in both ER and cytosol with MATLAB script for data analysis and visualization.
合成三萜类化合物 2-氰基-3,12-二氧代齐墩果-1,9-二烯-28-酸(CDDO)及其衍生物具有很强的抗癌和抗炎活性。CDDO 及其衍生物作为潜在治疗剂的作用机制仍不清楚。先前的研究发现,CDDO-Me 通过诱导细胞外钙内流,随后引发内质网(ER)来源的空泡化,从而触发细胞凋亡。由于细胞内的钙活性是动态的,需要在活细胞中实时跟踪,因此我们报告了一种高通量和高内涵成像方法,该方法使用 MATLAB 脚本进行数据分析和可视化,可用于跟踪 ER 和细胞质中 CDDO 诱导的钙波动。
