    Abstract In Saccharina latissima, the embryo develops as a monolayered cell sheet called the lamina or the blade. Each embryo cell is easy to observe, readily distinguishable from its neighbors, and can be individually targeted. For decades, laser ablation has been used to study embryo development. Here, a protocol for cell-specific laser ablation was developed for early embryos of the brown alga S. latissima. The presented work includes: (1) the preparation of Saccharina embryos, with a description of the critical parameters, including culture conditions, (2) the laser ablation settings, and (3) the monitoring of the subsequent growth of the irradiated embryo using time-lapse microscopy. In addition, details are provided on the optimal conditions for transporting the embryos from the imaging platform back to the lab, which can profoundly affect subsequent embryo development. Algae belonging to the order Laminariales display embryogenesis patterns similar to Saccharina; this protocol can thus be easily transferred to other species in this taxon.

    Abstract Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs) are attractive luminescent nanoprobes for biomedical applications. In vivo biosensing and bioimaging requires the delivery of the Au NCs into subcellular compartments. In this view, we explore here the possible encapsulation of ultra-small-sized red and blue emitting Au NCs into liposomes of various sizes and chemical compositions. Different methods were investigated to prepare vesicles containing Au NCs in their lumen. The efficiency of the process was correlated to the structural and morphological aspect of the Au NCs' encapsulating vesicles thanks to complementary analyses by SAXS, cryo-TEM, and confocal microscopy techniques. Cell-like-sized vesicles (GUVs) encapsulating red or blue Au NCs were successfully obtained by an innovative method using emulsion phase transfer. Furthermore, exosome-like-sized vesicles (LUVs) containing Au NCs were obtained with an encapsulation yield of 40%, as estimated from ICP-MS.

    Abstract We report how a recently developed polarization imaging technique, implementing micro-wave photonics and referred to as orthogonality-breaking (OB) imaging, can be adapted on a classical confocal fluorescence microscope, and is able to provide informative polarization images from a single scan of the cell sample. For instance, the comparison of the images of various cell lines at different cell-cycle stages obtained by OB polarization microscopy and fluorescence confocal images shows that an endogenous polarimetric contrast arizes with this instrument on compacted chromosomes during cell division.

    Abstract Background: In life sciences, there is a growing need for new informatics tools designed to provide automated solutions in order to analyze big amounts of images obtained from high-throughput imaging systems. Among the most widely used assays in neurotoxicity, endocrinology and brain diseases, the neurite outgrowth assay is popular.
    New method: Cell-to-cell quantification of the main morphological features of neurite outgrowth assays remains very challenging. Here, we provide a new pipeline developed on Fiji software for analysis of series of two-dimensional images. It allows the automated analysis of most of these features.
    Results: We tested the accuracy and usefulness of the software by confirming the effects of estradiol and hypoxia on in vitro neuronal differentiation, previously published by different authors with manual analysis methods. With this new method, we highlighted original interesting data.
    Comparison with existing method(s): The innovation brought by this plugin lies in the fact that it can process multiple images at the same time, in order to obtain: the number of nuclei, the number of neurites, the length of neurites, the number of neurites junctions, the number of neurites branches, the length of each branch, the position of the branch in the image, the angle of each branch, but also the area of each cell and the number of neurites per cell.
    Conclusions: This plugin is easy to use, highly sensitive, and allows the experimenter to acquire ready-to-use data coming from a vast amount of images.

    Abstract We investigate the encapsulation in hybridosomes®, a type of capsules unique regarding their structure and method of elaboration. Hybridosomes® are made of a single shell of inorganic nanoparticles (~5 nm) crosslinked with a polymer and are easily obtained via spontaneous emulsification in a ternary mixture THF/water/butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Our main finding is that an exceptionally high concentration of a hydrophobic model dye can be loaded in the hybridosomes®, up to 0.35 mol.L

    Abstract We investigate the encapsulation in hybridosomes®, a type of capsules unique regarding their structure and method of elaboration. Hybridosomes® are made of a single shell of inorganic nanoparticles (~5 nm) crosslinked with a polymer and are easily obtained via spontaneous emulsification in a ternary mixture THF/water/butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Our main finding is that an exceptionally high concentration of a hydrophobic model dye can be loaded in the hybridosomes®, up to 0.35 mol.L⁻¹ or equivalently 170 g.L⁻¹ or 450,000 molecules/capsule. The detailed investigation of the encapsulation mechanism shows that the dye concentrates in the droplets during the emulsification step simultaneously with capsule formation. Then it precipitates inside the capsules during the course of solvent evaporation. In vitro fluorescence measurements show that the nano-precipitated cargo can be transferred from the core of the hybridosomes® to the membrane of liposomes. In vivo studies suggest that the dye diffuses through the body during several days. The released dye tends to accumulate in body-fat, while the inorganic nanoparticles remain trapped into the liver and the spleen macrophages.

    Abstract The addition of poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) chains along the chromatin fiber due to PARP1 activity regulates the recruitment of multiple factors to sites of DNA damage. In this manuscript, we investigated how, besides direct binding to PAR, early chromatin unfolding events controlled by PAR signaling contribute to recruitment to DNA lesions. We observed that different DNA-binding, but not histone-binding, domains accumulate at damaged chromatin in a PAR-dependent manner, and that this recruitment correlates with their affinity for DNA. Our findings indicate that this recruitment is promoted by early PAR-dependent chromatin remodeling rather than direct interaction with PAR. Moreover, recruitment is not the consequence of reduced molecular crowding at unfolded damaged chromatin but instead originates from facilitated binding to more exposed DNA. These findings are further substantiated by the observation that PAR-dependent chromatin remodeling at DNA lesions underlies increased DNAse hypersensitivity. Finally, the relevance of this new mode of PAR-dependent recruitment to DNA lesions is demonstrated by the observation that reducing the affinity for DNA of both CHD4 and HP1α, two proteins shown to be involved in the DNA-damage response, strongly impairs their recruitment to DNA lesions.

    Abstract The amplification of AURORA-A is frequently observed in specific epithelial cell malignancies. The overexpression of aurora-A, a Ser-Thr kinase known to localize to centrosomes during mitosis, appears to imbue cancerous cells with resistance to spindle-checkpoint-targeting drugs such as paclitaxel (Taxol). Indeed, a recent publication by Anand et al. indicates that overexpression of AURORA-A may interfere with spindle-microtubule attachment and disrupt the regulation of the spindle checkpoint by allowing cells with abnormal chromosomal separation to enter anaphase. Thus, the design of new drugs that specifically target aurora-A rather than other checkpoint proteins might alleviate the resistance to Taxol-like clinical therapeutics observed in some tumors.
