    Abstract Neurotropic viruses can infiltrate the CNS by crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) through various mechanisms including paracellular, transcellular, and "Trojan horse" mechanisms during leukocyte diapedesis. These viruses belong to several families, including retroviruses; human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), flaviviruses; Japanese encephalitis (JEV); and herpesviruses; herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and mouse adenovirus 1 (MAV-1). For entering the brain, viral proteins act upon the tight junctions (TJs) between the brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs). For instance, HIV-1 proteins, such as glycoprotein 120, Nef, Vpr, and Tat, disrupt the BBB and generate a neurotoxic effect. Recombinant-Tat triggers amendments in the BBB by decreasing expression of the TJ proteins such as claudin-1, claudin-5, and zona occludens-1 (ZO-1). Thus, the breaching of BBB has been reported in myriad of neurological diseases including multiple sclerosis (MS). Neurotropic viruses also exhibit molecular mimicry with several myelin sheath proteins, i.e., antibodies against EBV nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) aa411-426 cross-react with MBP and EBNA1 aa385-420 was found to be associated with MS risk haplotype HLA-DRB1*150. Notably, myelin protein epitopes (PLP

    Abstract Peroxisomes are central metabolic organelles whose maturation and function depend on efficient and accurate targeting of peroxisomal membrane proteins (PMPs). Ultrastructural imaging of the PMPs is a quite difficult task as it requires high spatial and temporal resolution. Further, the spatial resolution of conventional light microscopy is limited due to the diffraction of light. However, recent methodological developments in super resolution microscopy showed us to access the nanoscale regimes spatially allowing to elucidate the membrane structures of cell organelles. In this chapter, we present protocols used in our laboratory for the super-resolution imaging of the peroxisomal membrane protein 14 (PEX14p) by direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM).

    Abstract Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles with essential roles in lipid and reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism. They are involved in modulating the immune responses during microbial infection, thus having major impact on several bacterial and viral infectious diseases including tuberculosis. Intracellular pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) employ various strategies to suppress the host oxidative stress mechanisms to avoid killing by the host. Peroxisome-mediated ROS balance is crucial for innate immune responses to M. tb. Therefore, peroxisomes represent promising targets for host-directed therapeutics to tuberculosis. Here, we present protocols used in our laboratory for the culture of M. tb and detection of peroxisomal proteins in M. tb infected macrophages.

    Abstract Background: Cell-cell communication through extracellular vesicles (EVs) including exosomes, microvesicles and apoptotic bodies has been shown to be important in physiological homoeostasis as well as pathological processes such as atherosclerosis. However, while the cellular machinery controlling EV formation and composition has been studied during the past decade, less is known about the morphological process of their formation and release.
    Methods: Using different electron microscopic approaches including transmission-, scanning-, immun-, and serial block face electron microscopy we studied the morphogenetic events of EV formation and release. We analysed the different steps of EV formation and release in cultured myocardial endothelial (MyEnd) and aortic endothelial (AoEnd) cell lines under serum starvation and under inflammatory conditions.
    Results: We show that in a narrow time frame, the number of active cells and microvesicle (MV) producing cells increased in dependence of time spent in cultivation and additional stimulation by TNF-α. However, MV secretion was a highly heterogeneous process which couldn´t be seen in all cells cultivated under the same conditions. Release of MVs could be observed all over the cells' surface with no preferred release site. While no single specific microscopic approach applied was sufficient to provide a comprehensive analysis of EV biogenesis, we show that the limitations of one technique could be compensated by the qualities of the respective other applied techniques, thus enabling us to provide a detailed ultrastructural analysis of MV and exosome biogenesis. Surprisingly, exosome release in endothelial cells occurred via a yet undescribed process indicating that MVBs were incorporated into a novel distinct cellular compartment covered by fenestrated endothelium before exosome release. Lastly, we could show that TNF-α stimulation of AoEnd cells leads not only to the upregulation of CD44 in parental cells, but also to incorporation of CD44 into the membranes of generated MVs and exosomes.
    Conclusions: Taken together, our data contribute to a better understanding of biogenesis and release of EVs. We conclude that under inflammatory conditions, EVs can mediate the transfer of CD44 from endothelial cells to target cells at distant sites including vessel wall cells and this could be a mechanism by which MVs may change the and thus contribute to the development and progression of atherosclerotic lesions.
