    Abstract Eumelanins play a crucial role as photoprotective agents for living organisms, yet the nature of the stationary and transient species involved in the light absorption and deactivation processes remains controversial. Moreover, the critical sub-100 fs time scale, which is key to the characterization of the primary excited species, has remained unexplored. Here, we study the eumelanin analogue polydopamine (PDA) and employ a combination of steady-state and transient optical spectroscopies to reveal the presence of spectrally broad coupled electronic transitions with, at least partial, charge-transfer (CT) character. We monitor the CT state dynamics using tunable sub-20 fs pulses. We find that high photon energy excitation results in accelerated (sub-20 fs) CT formation times while activating pathways, which lead to long-lived (≫1 ns), possibly reactive CT species. On the other hand, visible light excitation results in a slower (≈45 fs) formation of bound CT states, which, however, recombine on the ultrafast sub-2 ps time scale.

    Abstract In the early stages of liver carcinogenesis, rare hepatocytes and cholangiocytes are transformed into preneoplastic cells, which can progressively acquire a neoplastic phenotype, favored by the failure of natural antitumor immunosurveillance. The detailed study of both hepatic parenchymal (e.g., hepatocytes) and non-parenchymal cells (NPCs), such as immune cells, could help understand the cellular microenvironment surrounding these pre-cancerous and neoplastic lesions.Cultures of primary hepatocytes are of interest in various biomedical research disciplines, serving as an ex vivo model for liver physiology. Obtaining high viability and yield of primary mouse hepatocytes and other liver cell populations is technically challenging, thus limiting their use. In the first section of the current chapter, we introduce a protocol based on the two-step collagenase perfusion technique (by inferior vena cava) to isolate hepatocytes and, to a lower extent, NPCs and detailed the different considerations to take into account for a successful perfusion. The liver is washed by perfusion, hepatocytes are dissociated with collagenase, and different cell populations are separated by centrifugation. Various techniques have been described for the isolation of healthy and malignant hepatocytes; however, the viability and purity of the isolated cells is frequently not satisfactory. Here, we significantly optimized this protocol to reach improved yield and viability of the hepatocytes and concomitantly obtain preserved NPC populations of the liver.Within NPCs, tissue-resident or recruited immune cells are essential actors regulating hepatocarcinogenesis. However, simultaneous isolation of hepatic leukocytes together with other cell types generally yields low immune cell numbers hindering downstream application with these cells. In the second section of this chapter, as opposed to the first section primarily aiming to isolate hepatocytes, we present a tissue dissociation protocol adapted to efficiently recover leukocytes from non-perfused bulk (pre-)cancerous livers. This protocol has been optimized to be operator-friendly and fast compared to other liver processing methods, allowing easy simultaneous sample processing to retrieve hepatic (tumor-infiltrating) immune cells.

    Abstract Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignancy affecting the epithelial cells that line the bile ducts. This cancer shows a poor prognosis and current treatments remain inefficient. Orthotopic CCA mouse models are useful for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. Here, we describe an orthotopic model of intrahepatic CCA that can be easily induced in mice within 5 weeks at a high incidence. It is achieved by expressing two oncogenes, namely, (i) the intracellular domain of the Notch1 receptor (NICD) and (ii) AKT, in hepatocytes by means of the sleeping beauty transposon system. These plasmid vectors are delivered by hydrodynamic injection into the tail vein. The present chapter also describes how to perform magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the livers to visualize intrahepatic CCA nodules.

    Abstract Tissue-resident and recruited immune cells are essential mediators of natural and therapy-induced immunosurveillance of liver neoplasia. This idea has been recently reinforced by the clinical approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors for the immunotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma. Such research progress relies on the in-depth characterization of the immune populations that are present in pre-neoplastic and neoplastic hepatic lesions. A convenient technology for advancing along this path is high-dimensional cytometry.In this chapter, we present a protocol to assess the subtype and differentiation state of hepatic lymphocyte populations by multicolor immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry. We detail the steps required for viability assessment and immune cell phenotyping of single-cell suspensions of liver cells by means of surface and intracellular staining of more than a dozen markers of interest. This protocol does not require prior removal of debris and dead cells and allows to process multiple samples in parallel. The procedure includes the use of a fixative-resistant viability dye that allows cell fixation and permeabilization after cell surface staining and before intracellular staining and data acquisition on a flow cytometer. Moreover, we provide a panel of fluorochrome-labeled antibodies designed for the characterization of lymphocytic subsets that can be adapted to distinct experimental settings. Finally, we present an overview of the post-staining pipeline, including data acquisition on a flow cytometer and tools for post-acquisition analyses.

    Abstract Benzothiazole is among prominent electron-withdrawing heteroarene moieties used in a variety of π-conjugated molecules. Its relative orientation with respect to the principal dipole vector(s) of chromophores derived thereof is crucial, affecting photophysical and nonlinear optical properties. Here we compare the photophysics and ultrafast dynamics of dipolar and octupolar molecules comprising a triphenylamine electron-donating core, ethynylene π-conjugated linker(s) and benzothiazole acceptor(s) having the matched or mismatched orientation (with respect to the direction of intramolecular charge transfer), while a carbaldehyde group is attached as an auxiliary acceptor. Among chromophores without the auxiliary acceptor, stronger fluorescence solvatochromism and faster excited state dynamics are exhibited for the derivatives with the mismatched geometry. On the contrary, introduction of the auxiliary acceptor to the benzothiazole unit enhances the intramolecular charge transfer ICT (featuring ultrafast dynamics of the excited state) for the matched geometry. The data confirm the crucial role of the relative orientation of asymmetric heteroaromatic unit (regioisomeric effect) in dipolar as well as in multipolar molecules in tuning linear and nonlinear optical properties as well as excited state dynamics.
