此处所描述的方法构成，以施加张力到细胞表面粘附受体，并允许其随后的纯化一个简单的方法。然而，一些步骤是进行高效粘附纯化的和潜在的优化可以做取决于目标粘附受体的关键。我们目前的用户可能会遇到下面的潜在问题。 我们使用直径2.8微米的磁性珠粒但较大的小珠可用于直径如4.5微米。然而，珠子直径应限制在2-5微米自吞噬可能在30-60分钟温育发生更快速和更大的珠具有更强的粘附性，使得胎圈的位移将根据磁场34,35受到限制。因此，培养时间限制到短周期和使用适当的珠尺寸是重要的。每个细胞培养的小珠的数量将影响f的量由单个细胞奥尔塞体验。而一个人想有效地刺激与张力的细胞，每个细胞过多珠可导致不相关信号途径的激活。我们通常孵育的每单元两个胎为FN包被的珠子的平均，但是该数量可以根据不同的细胞类型和细胞表面受体来调节[每单元1至5小珠。关于磁体，这里所描述的方法中使用的量上的2.8微米的合力已经测量（约30-40 PN磁体通过测量在未经稀释的甘油，牛顿液体与已知粘度31磁珠的位移，虽然它可以使用较大的磁铁，如果需要施加更大的力的量。要注意的是，这些磁体是非常强大和仔细操纵它们是重要的。 后12-24小时的温育与ECM配体（步骤1.7）以及后1小时的温育（步骤1.9），用PBS / 0.2％BSA的pH 7.6的缓冲液中，m个agnetic微珠可能形成聚集。它是那么关键分开珠粒尽可能尊重每单元2珠的比率。然而，它仍然是可以接受的一个5:1的比例。珠分离可以通过混合和移液，或通过超声处理来实现，虽然在短期内（20-30多个）。 各种蛋白质可以缀合到珠粒，包括整联配体（FN，胶原蛋白），重组蛋白质或抗体靶向特定的细胞表面受体。的涂覆配体磁珠于背细胞表面的附着可能是由配体的低耦合效率到珠粒被削弱。它建议检查配体通过向珠和在耦合过程结束的珠粒的等分试样之前收集稀释的配位体溶液的等分试样结合到珠子上。这些等分试样可被处理以SDS-PAGE分析和考马斯亮蓝染色。 如果没有变化信号通路或检测到预期mechanosensing过程中，必须考虑不同的可能性是非常重要的。识别问题的一种方法是调节与磁铁实验的持续时间。它公知的是细胞过程的速度取决于所用的细胞类型而变化。另一种选择是，以测试已知的紧张敏感的分子和检查免疫印迹的翻译后修饰（如磷酸化桩蛋白或FAK磷酸进行分析）。的力的量可以是也重要，可以用更厚的磁铁（相同的等级N52）或更大珠粒可以是一种选择。此外，配体/受体结合的效率可以通过分析附着力复杂的探索和寻找细胞表面受体（如钙粘蛋白或整合）。所述细胞汇合也可以影响到张力的细胞反应。因为已经观察到，细胞/细胞粘着可影响细胞的行为和cystokeletal预应力，它是important键注意，汇合可能影响到张力的细胞反应。尽管我们推荐张力基于整合素的粘连应用80％汇合，不同的条件可以优化实验系统进行测试。 虽然这种方法提供了一个有力的工具，以破译张力敏感adhesome以及相关的信号传导途径，它也有一些限制。首先，由于使用这样的小尺寸的磁性珠的主要关注的是由细胞的内化的危险，不能用于研究修改细胞命运诸如分化和增殖的长期机械敏感信令细胞应答此方法。另一个限制在于的力如何应用于细胞在培养板中的层的方式。的确，由于磁场是在磁体的周边总是较高，部队可以在培养板的表面与电池的减小梯度变化从外周延伸到中心，并有可能导致异质细胞应答。 此处描述的方法构成，允许研究机械敏感细胞途径以及调查受到张力粘附复合物的分子组成的简单的和成本有效的方法。其它方法，如拉伸适用循环应变于细胞的装置，导致紧张的应用到所有的细胞表面受体与胞外基质相互作用。此处所描述的方法具有能够与细胞表面受体的特定子集和大量的各种配位体的力的刺激的优点，可以使用如整合素配体或抗体的靶向细胞表面受体，从而使多个不同机械敏感系统的研究。这种方法的另一个优点是，它会导致蛋白质复合物在经历张力和对承重eleme工作纯化这是已知的NTS以机械传导36中发挥中心作用。纯化的粘附复杂，也可用于各种生化方法14，例如激酶测定法来调查响应于张力，或肌动蛋白聚合测定激酶活性。此外，本实验体系可以用磁镊子耦合到探索蜂窝机械响应，并与所识别的信号传导途径该响应相关联。有趣的是，magnetoplasmonic纳米颗粒最近已用于机械载荷的Notch和E-cadherin，在时间和空间37精确控制。这种新的发展可能有助于探索不同的空间，时间和机械投入机械敏感的信号通路。

在后生动物，机械张力通过细胞过程如增殖，分化和存活1,2无数的调节指导组织发育和内环境稳定。机械张力可以从细胞外基质产生，或可通过贴壁细胞，其样品通过拉动到细胞外基质，并通过张力敏感分子探测其刚性的肌动球蛋白收缩机械它们的胞外环境中产生的。为了应对紧张局势，机械敏感粘附蛋白发生触发复杂的信号级联反应的构象变化。反过来，这些信号传导途径编排一个mechanoresponse包含增殖，分化和存活是调节细胞行为到细胞外环境。这样的方法可以在短期时间周期进行结算（数秒至数分钟）快速反馈到机甲的环<html>通过修改机械敏感结构notransduction。例如，基于整联粘连加强在通过的Rho GTP酶-介导的细胞骨架重构3，4，5响应于张力。与此同时，其他的信号通路超过几小时或几天来控制的遗传程序，最终影响细胞的命运6激活。然而，许多研究强调矩阵刚度对细胞确定性和疾病发展1,2的效果，粘附介导的机械传导的精确分子机制仍然不清楚。 各种方法已被开发来研究细胞的行为的细胞产生的力或外力，包括流动系统，荧光共振能量转移（FRET）-tension传感器7的影响，小姑娘="外部参照"&gt; 8，柔性基板9，磁镊子，光学镊子10和原子力显微镜（AFM）11。在这里，我们使用超顺磁珠响应于施加到特定粘附受体的张力来表征机械传导途径提出的协议。超顺磁珠是放置在一个磁场时可逆地磁化的颗粒。一旦涂覆有对特定受体的配体，这些珠粒提供了有力的工具来研究细胞外力的应用程序的影响。此方法已被若干研究3，5，12验证- 17和呈现的优点在很大程度上促进在贴壁细胞的生化分析。使用类似的胶原包被的磁珠，随后通过生物化学分析，早期工作报告中的增加蛋白酪氨酸磷酸化和RhoA激活响应于张力5，18，19。下面描述的方法也被用于与纤连蛋白（FN）包被的珠从施加到整3张力下游表征信号通路。在这项研究中，Guilluy等。表明张力通过两个鸟嘌呤核苷酸交换因子（全环基金），LARG和全球环境基金-H1，以整合的粘附物招募激活的RhoA。因为，在其他的研究已经表明，GEF-H1被用不同的方法20，21，表现出这里描述的方法的稳健性招募到粘附物响应于细胞产生的张力。其结果是，活化的RhoA被证明促进粘附加固，通过细胞骨架重构。该系统也被用来探索张力施加吨O单元/细胞粘附受体。力到涂有诱导纽蛋白招募增加同样地整合伴生附着配合物12 E-钙粘蛋白的胞外域磁珠应用。柯林斯和他的同事观察到紧张的应用PECAM-1促进整合和RhoA的活性13。采用磁珠另一种实验方法是紧张适用于孤立的核研究。使用涂覆有对核包膜蛋白nesprin-1抗体珠，核膜复合物进行纯化，以显示它们响应于机械张力22动态地调节。这些结果支持在机械传导途径的研究该方法的有力度。此外，虽然流或牵引力系统刺激一般的细胞过程，磁珠特别通过使用受体配体靶向细胞粘附受体<sup系列="外部参照"&gt; 3或反对细胞表面受体13，15单克隆抗体。 这种方法的另一个优点是粘附复合物通过一个简单的配体的亲和纯化过程的隔离。这是众所周知的，加入的涂覆配体珠的细胞结合粘附受体和诱导几个粘附蛋白23的募集。力的涂覆配体磁珠进一步应用开启这些粘附配合成介导的各种张力依赖性信号通路4,24大分子平台。细胞裂解，随后通过使用磁铁珠浓度允许的附着平台的隔离。用于纯化粘附物的其它方法已经在贴壁细胞使用。他们结合化学交联，以节省蛋白质 - 蛋白质相互作用和细胞裂解步骤由洗涤剂和剪切流动或超声处理20，21，25，26，27，28。最后一步是含有粘合性复合物所得到的腹侧质膜的集合。不像这些方法，磁珠允许通过选择性靶向粘附受体的特定家族细胞粘附复合物的更大的纯化水平。磁珠已经用于纯化粘附络合物附着到涂覆配体的微珠29,30非贴壁细胞。下面模拟生物环境中描述的方法，其中施加短持续时间（数秒至数分钟）力。因此，它提供了一个有力的工具，调查两个纯化粘附复合物的分子组成和下游机械敏感-信号通路。 在这里，我们提出了一个详细的实验协议利用磁珠的张力适用于粘接面的蛋白质。永久钕磁铁被放置在培养皿表面的顶部。磁铁的磁极面被放置在6mm的高度，使得在单个2.8微米磁珠上的力是恒定的（约30-40 PN）31。张力刺激的持续时间是由根据兴趣和其时间尺度活化的分子上的操作者确定。将细胞最后裂解，粘附络合物通过珠粒分离利用磁铁纯化和生物化学分析被处理。这个协议包括的涂覆配体超顺磁珠的制备，和张力通过磁体的应用，随后通过生物化学分析。此外，我们还提供应用于基于整联-ADH数据表明张力的代表性样品esions诱导粘附重塑和改变蛋白质的酪氨酸磷酸化。

Preparation of Complaint Matrices for Quantifying Cellular Contraction

The regulation of cellular adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential for cell migration and ECM remodeling. Focal adhesions are macromolecular assemblies that couple the contractile F-actin cytoskeleton to the ECM. This connection allows for the transmission of intracellular mechanical forces across the cell membrane to the underlying substrate. Recent work has shown the mechanical properties of the ECM regulate focal adhesion and F-actin morphology as well as numerous physiological processes, including cell differentiation, division, proliferation and migration. Thus, the use of cell culture substrates has become an increasingly prevalent method to precisely control and modulate ECM mechanical properties.
To quantify traction forces at focal adhesions in an adherent cell, compliant substrates are used in conjunction with high-resolution imaging and computational techniques in a method termed traction force microscopy (TFM). This technique relies on measurements of the local magnitude and direction of substrate deformations induced by cellular contraction. In combination with high-resolution fluorescence microscopy of fluorescently tagged proteins, it is possible to correlate cytoskeletal organization and remodeling with traction forces.
Here we present a detailed experimental protocol for the preparation of two-dimensional, compliant matrices for the purpose of creating a cell culture substrate with a well-characterized, tunable mechanical stiffness, which is suitable for measuring cellular contraction. These protocols include the fabrication of polyacrylamide hydrogels, coating of ECM proteins on such gels, plating cells on gels, and high-resolution confocal microscopy using a perfusion chamber. Additionally, we provide a representative sample of data demonstrating location and magnitude of cellular forces using cited TFM protocols.

In this video, we demonstrate the experimental techniques used to fabricate compliant, extracellular matrix (ECM) coated substrates suitable for cell culture, and which are amenable to traction force microscopy and observing effects of ECM stiffness on cell behavior.

Multiplexed Single-molecule Force Proteolysis Measurements Using Magnetic Tweezers

The generation and detection of mechanical forces is a ubiquitous aspect of cell physiology, with direct relevance to cancer metastasis1, atherogenesis2 and wound healing3. In each of these examples, cells both exert force on their surroundings and simultaneously enzymatically remodel the extracellular matrix (ECM). The effect of forces on ECM has thus become an area of considerable interest due to its likely biological and medical importance4-7.
	Single molecule techniques such as optical trapping8, atomic force microscopy9, and magnetic tweezers10,11 allow researchers to probe the function of enzymes at a molecular level by exerting forces on individual proteins. Of these techniques, magnetic tweezers (MT) are notable for their low cost and high throughput. MT exert forces in the range of ~1-100 pN and can provide millisecond temporal resolution, qualities that are well matched to the study of enzyme mechanism at the single-molecule level12. Here we report a highly parallelizable MT assay to study the effect of force on the proteolysis of single protein molecules. We present the specific example of the proteolysis of a trimeric collagen peptide by matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1); however, this assay can be easily adapted to study other substrates and proteases.

In this article we describe the use of magnetic tweezers to study the effect of force on enzymatic proteolysis at the single molecule level in a highly parallelizable manner.

Magnetic Tweezers for the Measurement of Twist and Torque

Single-molecule techniques make it possible to investigate the behavior of individual biological molecules in solution in real time. These techniques include so-called force spectroscopy approaches such as atomic force microscopy, optical tweezers, flow stretching, and magnetic tweezers. Amongst these approaches, magnetic tweezers have distinguished themselves by their ability to apply torque while maintaining a constant stretching force. Here, it is illustrated how such a &#8220;conventional&#8221; magnetic tweezers experimental configuration can, through a straightforward modification of its field configuration to minimize the magnitude of the transverse field, be adapted to measure the degree of twist in a biological molecule. The resulting configuration is termed the freely-orbiting magnetic tweezers. Additionally, it is shown how further modification of the field configuration can yield a transverse field with a magnitude intermediate between that of the &#8220;conventional&#8221; magnetic tweezers and the freely-orbiting magnetic tweezers, which makes it possible to directly measure the torque stored in a biological molecule. This configuration is termed the magnetic torque tweezers. The accompanying video explains in detail how the conversion of conventional magnetic tweezers into freely-orbiting magnetic tweezers and magnetic torque tweezers can be accomplished, and demonstrates the use of these techniques. These adaptations maintain all the strengths of conventional magnetic tweezers while greatly expanding the versatility of this powerful instrument.

Magnetic tweezers, a powerful single-molecule manipulation technique, can be adapted for the direct measurements of the twist (using a configuration called freely-orbiting magnetic tweezers) and torque (using a configuration termed magnetic torque tweezers) in biological macromolecules. Guidelines for performing such measurements are given, including applications to the study of DNA and associated nucleo-protein filaments.

Bead Aggregation Assays for the Characterization of Putative Cell Adhesion Molecules

Cell-cell adhesion is fundamental to multicellular life and is mediated by a diverse array of cell surface proteins. However, the adhesive interactions for many of these proteins are poorly understood. Here we present a simple, rapid method for characterizing the adhesive properties of putative homophilic cell adhesion molecules. Cultured HEK293 cells are transfected with DNA plasmid encoding a secreted, epitope-tagged ectodomain of a cell surface protein. Using functionalized beads specific for the epitope tag, the soluble, secreted fusion protein is captured from the culture medium. The coated beads can then be used directly in bead aggregation assays or in fluorescent bead sorting assays to test for homophilic adhesion. If desired, mutagenesis can then be used to elucidate the specific amino acids or domains required for adhesion. This assay requires only small amounts of expressed protein, does not require the production of stable cell lines, and can be accomplished in 4 days.

Here we present a simple, rapid method for characterizing the intrinsic adhesive properties of putative cell adhesion molecules. The secreted, epitope-tagged ectodomain of a cell adhesion molecule is captured from the culture medium on small, uniform functionalized beads. These beads can then be used immediately in simple bead aggregation assays.

A Novel Method for Localizing Reporter Fluorescent Beads Near the Cell Culture Surface for Traction Force Microscopy

PA gels have long been used as a platform to study cell traction forces due to ease of fabrication and the ability to tune their elastic properties. When the substrate is coated with an extracellular matrix protein, cells adhere to the gel and apply forces, causing the gel to deform. The deformation depends on the cell traction and the elastic properties of the gel. If the deformation field of the surface is known, surface traction can be calculated using elasticity theory. Gel deformation is commonly measured by embedding fluorescent marker beads uniformly into the gel. The probes displace as the gel deforms. The probes near the surface of the gel are tracked. The displacements reported by these probes are considered as surface displacements. Their depths from the surface are ignored. This assumption introduces error in traction force evaluations. For precise measurement of cell forces, it is critical for the location of the beads to be known. We have developed a technique that utilizes simple chemistry to confine fluorescent marker beads, 0.1 and 1 &#181;m in diameter, in PA gels, within 1.6 &#956;m of the surface. We coat a coverslip with poly-D-lysine (PDL) and fluorescent beads. PA gel solution is then sandwiched between the coverslip and an adherent surface. The fluorescent beads transfer to the gel solution during curing. After polymerization, the PA gel contains fluorescent beads on a plane close to the gel surface.

Traditional techniques for fabricating polyacrylamide (PA) gels containing fluorescent probes involve sandwiching a gel between an adherent surface and a glass slide. Here, we show that coating this slide with poly-D-lysine (PDL) and fluorescent probes localizes the probes to within 1.6 &#181;m from the gel surface.

Magnetic Tweezers in a Microplate Format

Mechanobiology describes how the physical forces and mechanical properties of biological material contribute to physiology and disease. Typically, these approaches are limited single-molecule methods, which restricts their availability. To address this need, a microplate assay was developed that enables mechanical manipulation while performing standard biochemical assays. This is achieved using magnets incorporated into a microplate lid to create multiple magnetic tweezers. In this format, force is exerted across biomolecules connected to paramagnetic beads, equivalent to a typical magnetic tweezer. The study demonstrates the application of this tool with FRET-based assays to monitor protein conformations. However, this approach is widely applicable to different biological systems ranging from measuring enzymatic activity through to the activation of signaling pathways in live cells.

Here, we describe the use of a novel microplate assay to enable mechanical manipulation of biomolecules while performing ensemble biochemical assays. This is achieved using a microplate lid modified with magnets to create multiple static magnetic tweezers across the microplate.

High-Speed Magnetic Tweezers for Nanomechanical Measurements on Force-Sensitive Elements

Single-molecule magnetic tweezers (MTs) have served as powerful tools to forcefully interrogate biomolecules, such as nucleic acids and proteins, and are therefore poised to be useful in the field of mechanobiology. Since the method commonly relies on image-based tracking of magnetic beads, the speed limit in recording and analyzing images, as well as the thermal fluctuations of the beads, has long hampered its application in observing small and fast structural changes in target molecules. This article describes detailed methods for the construction and operation of a high-resolution MT setup that can resolve nanoscale, millisecond dynamics of biomolecules and their complexes. As application examples, experiments with DNA hairpins and SNARE complexes (membrane-fusion machinery) are demonstrated, focusing on how their transient states and transitions can be detected in the presence of piconewton-scale forces. We expect that high-speed MTs will continue to enable high-precision nanomechanical measurements on molecules that sense, transmit, and generate forces in cells, and thereby deepen our molecular-level understanding of mechanobiology.

Here, we describe a high-speed magnetic tweezer setup that performs nanomechanical measurements on force-sensitive biomolecules at the maximum rate of 1.2 kHz. We introduce its application to DNA hairpins and SNARE complexes as model systems, but it will be also applicable to other molecules involved in mechanobiological events.

Manipulating Mechanical Forces in the Developing Zebrafish Heart Using Magnetic Beads

Mechanical forces continuously provide feedback to heart valve morphogenetic programs. In zebrafish, cardiac valve development relies on heart contraction and physical stimuli generated by the beating heart. Intracardiac hemodynamics, driven by blood flow, emerge as fundamental information shaping the development of the embryonic heart. Here, we describe an effective method to manipulate mechanical forces in vivo by grafting a 30 &#181;m to 60 &#181;m diameter magnetic bead in the cardiac lumen. The insertion of the bead is conducted through microsurgery in anesthetized larvae without perturbing heart function and enables artificial alteration of the boundary conditions, thereby modifying flow forces in the system. As a result, the presence of the bead amplifies the mechanical forces experienced by endocardial cells and can directly trigger mechanical stimulus-dependent calcium influx. This approach facilitates the investigation of mechanotransduction pathways that govern heart development and can provide insights into the role of mechanical forces in cardiac valve morphogenesis.
