La dérivation de cellules souches embryonnaires chez le chevalLaflamme, Simon 08 1900 (has links)
Les cellules souches embryonnaires (ES) sont porteuses de grands espoirs en recherche biomédicale dans le but d’apporter un traitement définitif à l’ostéoarthrose. Parce que certaines articulations des chevaux sont similaires à celles des humains, cet animal représente un modèle important dans l’évaluation de stratégies de régénération du cartilage. Cependant, pour expérimenter un traitement par les cellules ES chez le cheval, des cellules ES équines (eES) n’ont toujours pas pu être dérivées. Dans ce contexte, l’objectif principal de cette étude est de dériver des lignées de cellules eES. Le premier objectif de notre étude consiste à optimiser la technique de dérivation des cellules eES. Nous démontrons que la lignée de cellules nourricières et le stade de développement des embryons influencent l’efficacité de la technique de dérivation tandis que l’inhibition de voies de signalisation menant à la différenciation des cellules ES ne l’influence pas sous nos conditions. Le deuxième objectif de notre étude est de caractériser de façon plus approfondie les lignées de cellules eES obtenues. Nous démontrons que les cellules eES dérivées expriment autant des marqueurs associés aux cellules pluripotentes qu’aux cellules différenciées et que l’inhibition de voies de signalisation menant à la différenciation n’influence pas l’expression de ces marqueurs. Pour conclure, nous confirmons avoir dérivé des lignées de cellules semblables au cellules eES (eES-like) ne correspondant pas complètement aux critères des cellules ES. / Embryonic stem (ES) cells carry high hopes for biomedical research in order to provide definitive treatment for osteoarthritis. The horse is considered to be an important animal model for examining osteoarthritis treatments. However, despite almost thirty years of research, authentic equine ES (eES) cells have not yet been derived. In this context, the main objective of this study was to derive eES cell lines. The first objective of our study was to optimize the technique for deriving eES cells. We show that different feeder cell lines and embryo development stages influence the effectiveness of this technique while the use of cell signalling inhibitors does not influence eES cell derivation. The second objective was to characterize markers of pluripotency and differentiation in eES cell lines by RT-PCR. We demonstrate that the eES cells express both markers associated with pluripotent cells and differentiated cells and that the presence of cell signalling inhibitors in the culture medium does not influence the expression of these markers. In conclusion, we confirm having derived eES-like cells but these do not meet all the molecular criteria of authentic ES cells.

Création d'un modèle cellulaire des voies respiratoires du porc pour étudier les effets d'une co-infection virale au virus du syndrome reproducteur et respiratoire porcin et au circovirus porcinAlvarez, Fernando 08 1900 (has links)
Le circovirus porcin de type 2 (PCV2) est un pathogène majeur pour l’industrie porcine et est associé à une longue liste de maladies associées au circovirus porcin (MACVP). Les premières tentatives pour reproduire ces maladies ont montré que le virus doit être combiné à d’autres agents pathogènes du porc ou à différents stimulants du système immunitaire. De ces agents, le virus du syndrome reproducteur et respiratoire porcin (VSRRP) est celui qui est le plus souvent co-isolé avec le PCV dans les fermes. Une grande partie des efforts faits pour étudier les interactions entre ces deux virus ont été menés in vivo. Les interactions in vitro ont jusqu’à maintenant été peu étudiées du fait qu’il n’existe pas de modèle cellulaire permettant la réplication efficace des deux virus. L’objectif de ce projet était donc de développer un modèle cellulaire propice à la réplication des deux virus et d’étudier leur interaction en co-infection. Une lignée cellulaire provenant de la trachée d’un porcelet nouveau-né (NPTr), permissive au PCV, a été génétiquement modifiée pour exprimer la protéine CD163, un récepteur majeur du VSRRP. Ce projet a montré que cette nouvelle lignée cellulaire (NPTr-CD163) est permissive au VSRRP ainsi qu’à plusieurs génotypes de PCV (PCV1, PCV2a, PCV2b et PCV1/2a). De plus, les résultats obtenus lors d’infections mixtes suggèrent que la réplication du VSRRP et du PCV conditionne de façon génotype-dépendante celle du PCV puisque la réplication du PCV1 est inhibée en présence de VSRRP, alors que celle du PCV2b est significativement augmentée dans les mêmes conditions. Ni la mortalité cellulaire, ni la réponse cellulaire en cytokines n’a permis d’expliquer ces résultats. La modulation de la réplication du PCV par le VSRRP serait donc liée à un mécanisme spécifique qui demeure inconnu. De plus, cet effet varierait en fonction du génotype de PCV. / Porcine circovirus (PCV) type 2 (PCV2) is a major pathogen in the swine industry and has been described as the causative agent of a long list of conditions under the designation of porcine circovirus-associated diseases (PCVAD). Attempts to replicate PCVAD initially failed, as it was discovered that an immune trigger could facilitate the reproduction of clinical signs, either by co-infecting with other swine pathogens or using immune stimulants. Of these, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is the most frequently co-isolated agent in the field. Most effort has been made to understand this interaction in vivo since most in vitro cellular models lack the ability to efficiently replicate both viruses. To answer the lack of an in vitro model, we developed a cell line that allows the replication of both PRRSV and PCV. A neonate porcine tracheal cell line (NPTr) was genetically modified to stably express CD163 (NPTr-CD163), a major PRRSV receptor. NPTr-CD163 cells were able to replicate all PCV genotypes (PCV1, PCV1/2a, PCV2a and PCV2b) and PRRSV. A significant effect of PRRSV on PCV replication was found to be genotype dependent, as PCV1 replication was down regulated in the presence of PRRSV and PCV2b replication was up regulated in the same conditions. Neither cell mortality assays nor cytokine expression analysis were able to provide an explanation for these results. The effect of PRRSV on PCV1 and PCV2b replication is suggestive of a more specific, yet still unknown, mechanism. Furthermore, this effect is PCV-genotype dependant.

Studium interakcí antivirálních látek s intestinálními lékovými efluxními ABC transportéry / Study of interactions of antiviral drugs with intestinal drug efflux ABC transportersHuličiak, Martin January 2018 (has links)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology Student: Martin Huličiak Supervisor: PharmDr. Lukáš Červený, Ph.D Title of diploma thesis: Study of interactions of antiviral drugs with intestinal drug efflux ABC transporters P-gp, MRP2 and BCRP are efflux transporters, members of the family of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters. These transporters are located on the apical membrane of the intestinal epithelium, where they may limit absorption of orally administered drugs. Study of drug interactions with/on intestinal efflux transporters is necessary to provide safe and effective treatment. The Caco-2 cell line is FDA recommended in vitro model of intestinal barrier and it is used for bidirectional testing of substrates and inhibitors of ABC transporters in preclinical research. However, this methodology has several shortcomings, so the need of introduction of new experimental models is increasing and the ex vivo method based on human or rat intestine is a promising option. Precision-cut intestinal slices (PCIS) represent a mini-model of the organ and contain all types of cells of the tissue. We used both in vitro model using Caco-2 cell monolayers for drug transport study and in our lab established ex vivo method of PCIS for accumulation study...

Vias de transdução de sinal do receptor tipo Toll 4 nas células pancreáticas e seus efeitos na secreção e produção de insulina / Toll-like receptor 4 signal transduction pathways in pancreatic cells and their effect on insulin secretion and productionFernanda Vieira Paladino 28 August 2012 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: O receptor tipo Toll 4 (TLR4) pertencente a uma família de receptores do sistema imune inato, reconhece o padrão molecular de lipopolissacarídeos (LPS), expressos por bactérias Gram negativas. Sua cascata de sinalização, nas células apresentadoras de antígeno, ocorre por duas vias principais: MyD88-dependente, que resulta na ativação de NF-B e na expressão de genes de resposta inflamatória e MyD88-independente, responsável pela ativação dos fatores IRF3 e IRF7, culminando na síntese de interferons e , envolvidos na resposta anti-viral e anti-bacteriana. Células não-imunes, de diversos tecidos, também expressam TLR4, incluindo células pancreáticas murinas e humanas. Devido ao seu papel nos processos inflamatórios, os TLR estão implicados em doenças crônicas como obesidade e diabetes. Estudo anterior do grupo identificou TLR4 como uma molécula que ativa sinais inflamatórios e provoca alterações na homeostase das células . Neste trabalho, investigamos qual via é ativada por LPS e quais os efeitos da expressão do TLR4 na viabilidade celular e na produção de insulina em células murinas. MÉTODOS: Células MIN6 (linhagem celular de insulinoma de camundongo) foram cultivadas em condições de hipo (2,8mM glicose), normo (5,6mM glicose) e hiperglicemia (11,2mM glicose), por 4 dias. Após esse período, foi adicionado LPS (50 ng/mL) por 48h e foram feitas análises por PCR em tempo real, Western Blot, ELISA e citometria de fluxo. RESULTADOS: Os resultados confirmam o aumento de TLR4 em células em condições de hiperglicemia e a via de sinalização ativada por LPS é a via MyD88-dependente, envolvida na produção de citocinas pró-inflamatórias. A via de indução de intérferons tipo 1 está ausente nestas células. Além disso, TLR4 ativado por LPS aumentou secreção de insulina em resposta a glicose, mas não induziu a morte celular. CONCLUSÃO: A expressão de TLR4 em células pancreáticas murinas é induzida em resposta ao aumento da glicemia, constituindo um novo elo entre a agressão à célula causada por altos níveis de glicose e a alteração da função celular induzida por LPS / INTRODUCTION: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) belongs to a family of innate immunity receptors and recognizes the molecular pattern present in lipopolysaccharides (LPS), typical of Gram-negative bacteria. There are two TLR4 signaling pathways, typically in antigen-presenting cells: one is MyD88-dependent, activating NF-kB transcription factor and triggering inflammatory cytokine production and the other is MyD88-independent, leading to activation of IRF3 and IRF-7 and production of interferons e , involved in antiviral and antibacterial immune responses. Non-immune cells in several tissues also express TLR4, including human and murine pancreatic cells. Due to their role in inflammatory processes, TLRs have been implicated in chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes. Our previous study identified TLR4 as a molecule which activates inflammatory signals and induces changes in cell homeostasis. In this study, we investigated which of the TLR4 pathways is activated by LPS and the effects of glucose levels on cell viability and insulin production in a mouse insulinoma cell line. METHODS: MIN6 cells were maintained in low (2,8mM), normal (5,6mM) and high (11,2mM) glucose levels for 4 days, and then incubated with LPS (50 ng/mL) for 48 hours. Analyses were done by real-time PCR, Western Blot, ELISA and flow cytometry. RESULTS: Analysis confirmed increase in TLR4 gene expression in hyperglycemic conditions and showed that the signaling pathway activated by LPS is MyD88-dependent. The interferon induction pathway is absent in these cells. Furthermore, upon activation by LPS, TLR4 impacts on insulin secretion in response to glucose, but without triggering cell death. CONCLUSION: We conclude that TLR4 expression in mouse pancreatic cells is induced in response to increased glucose levels, constituting a new link in the chain of events leading to cell stress caused by high glucose levels with concomitant changes in cell function induced by LPS

O papel do miR-100 na proliferação, indução da apoptose e instabilidade cromossômica em linhagens celulares de câncer de bexiga e próstata / The role of miR-100 on proliferation, induction of apoptosis and chromosomal instability in bladder and prostate cancer cell linesDenis Reis Morais 11 October 2013 (has links)
Introdução: O câncer de próstata (CaP) é o tumor sólido mais diagnosticado no homem atualmente, e a sexta ocorrência mais frequente de casos novos de neoplasia maligna no mundo, sendo a segunda causa de óbito por câncer. O câncer de bexiga (CaB) é a segunda neoplasia maligna mais comum e a segunda em causa de óbito entre os tumores genito-urinários. Mundialmente o CaB é responsável por aproximadamente 386.000 novos casos e 150.000 óbitos por ano. O conhecimento das alterações em processos celulares envolvidos na sua carcinogênese nos permite melhor compreensão da patogênese dessas neoplasias, subsidiando, assim, mais efetivamente, o planejamento de estratégias de prevenção, diagnóstico e tratamento. Micro RNA (miRNA) são pequenas sequências não codificantes de RNA que possuem grande papel no controle da expressão dos genes, inibindo a tradução da proteína ou promovendo a degradação do RNA mensageiro (RNAm). Os miRNA estão envolvidos em vários processos celulares fisiológicos e patológicos, incluindo o câncer, onde podem atuar como oncogenes (oncomiR) ou como supressores de tumor (tsmiR). Previamente demonstramos que níveis elevados de miR-100 estão relacionados a recidiva bioquímica pós-prostatectomia radical enquanto no carcinoma urotelial de bexiga de baixo grau ocorre subexpressão desse miRNA. Objetivo: O estudo pretende analisar o papel do miR-100 na regulação de seus supostos genes alvo SMARCA5, THAP2, BAZ2A, mTOR e FGFR3 em linhagens de CaB e CaP e sua relação com a proliferação, apoptose e ploidia de DNA Material e Métodos: As linhagens de CaB (RT4 e T24) e CaP (DU145 e PC3) foram transfectadas com pré-miR-100, antimiR-100 e seus respectivos controles negativos utilizando lipossomas. Após a transfecção o nível de expressão de RNAm e proteína dos genes alvos foi analisado pelas técnicas da cadeia da polimerase quantitativa em tempo real (qRT-PCR) e western blotting respectivamente. A proliferação celular, apoptose e instabilidade cromossômica foram analisadas por citometria de fluxo. Resultados: A transfecção de pré-miR 100, reduziu de modo significativo a expressão de RNAm dos genes mTOR(p=0,006), SMARCA5 (p=0,007) e BAZ2A (p=0,03) na linhagem RT4, mTOR (p=0,02) e SMARCA5 (p=0,01) na linhagem T24, mTOR (p=0,025), THAP2 (p=0,04), SMARCA5 (p=0,001) e BAZ2A (p=0,005) na linhagem DU145 e mTOR (p=0,01) na linhagem PC3. Quanto a expressão proteica houve diminuição global da expressão de todas as proteínas varável de 22,5% a 69% nas quatro linhagens estudadas. Na linhagem T24 miR-100 promoveu um aumento na proliferação e o antimiR-100 induziu a apoptose demonstrando o papel oncogênico desse miR no câncer de bexiga de alto grau. Na linhagem PC3, do mesmo modo, a exposição ao antimiR-100 promoveu um aumento de células em apoptose. Conclusões: Demonstramos que miR-100 controla a expressão gênica e proteica de seus genes alvos nas linhagens de CaP e CaB. Os genes mTOR e FGFR3 são proto-oncogenes envolvidos com o desenvolvimento e progressão de neoplasias, enquanto os genes BAZ2A, SMARCA5 e THAP2 estão relacionados a regulação da transcrição, estabilidade genômica e indução da apoptose. Desse modo podemos admitir que miR-100 tem um papel contraditório no câncer, podendo se comportar como um oncomiR ou como um tsmiR, o que o classificaria como um miRNA \"contexto dependente\". Demonstramos porém que miR-100 tem um papel oncogênico na linhagem T24 de carcinoma urotelial de alto grau de bexiga promovendo um aumento na proliferação e inibição da apoptose. Na linhagem PC3 também o papel oncogênico de miR-100 pode estar relacionado a inibição da apoptose. Dada a variação de ação dos miRNA nos diversos tecidos e estágios tumorais, a determinação do seu papel nos diversos tumores é fundamental pois existe a possibilidade de utiliza-los como marcadores diagnóstico, prognóstico e como alvos para terapias moleculares / Introduction: Prostate cancer (PC) is the most commonly diagnosed solid tumor in men today, and the sixth most frequent occurrence of new cases of malignancy in the world, being the second cause of death by cancer in men. Bladder cancer (BC) is the second most common malignancy and the second cause of death among genitourinary tumors. Globally BC is responsible for approximately 386.000 new cases and 150.000 deaths per year. The knowledge of cellular processes involved in carcinogenesis allows us to better understand the etiology and pathogenesis of these neoplasms, supporting thus more effectively, planning strategies for prevention and treatment. Micro RNAs (miRNA) are small non-coding RNA sequences that have a large role in the control of gene expression by inhibiting protein translation or promoting the degradation of messenger RNA (RNAm). The miRNA are currently involved in various physiological and pathological cellular processes, including cancer where they can act as oncogenes (oncomiR) or tumor suppressors (tsmiR). Previously we demonstrated that high levels of miR-100 are associated with biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy while in low-grade bladder urothelial carcinoma it is persistently underexpressed. Objective: The study aims to examine the role of miR-100 in the regulation of its supposed target genes SMARCA5, THAP2, BAZ2A, mTOR and FGFR3 in BC and PC cell lines and its relationship with proliferation, apoptosis and chromosomal instability. Material and Methods: The BC (RT4 and T24) and PC cell lines (DU145 and PC3) were transfected with pre-miR-100, antimiR-100 and their respective controls using liposomes. After transfection RNAm and protein levels of its supposed target genes were analyzed by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting. Cell proliferation, apoptosis and DNA ploidy were analyzed by flow cytometry. Results: After transfection of pre-miR 100, there was a significant reduction in the RNAm expression of mTOR (p=0.006), SMARCA5 (p=0.007) and BAZ2A (p=0.03) in RT4, mTOR (p=0.02) and SMARCA5 (p=0.01) in T24, mTOR (p=0.025), THAP2 (p=0.04), SMARCA5 (p=0.001) and BAZ2A (p=0.005) in DU145 and mTOR (p=0.01) in PC3. There was a reduction in the expression of all proteins, variable from 22.5% to 69% in all cell lines. In T24 miR-100 promoted an increase in cell proliferation and antimiR-100 promoted apoptosis characterizing miR-100 as an oncomiR in this cell line representative of a right grade urothelial carcinoma. Also in PC3 antimiR-100 promoted an increase in apoptosis. Conclusions: We have shown that miR-100 controls the expression of gene and protein of its supposed target genes in PC and BC cell lines. mTOR and FGFR3 are proto-oncogenes related to the tumor development and progression, while BAZ2A, SMARCA5 and THAP2 are related to the DNA transcription regulation, chromossomic stability and apoptosis induction. We can conclude that miR-100 has a contradictory role in cancer, behaving as an oncomir or tsmiR depending the type and stage of a specific neoplasia, classifying it as a \"context depending\" miRNA. In T24 cell line however miR-100 acts as an oncomiR increasing cell proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis. In PC3 cell line miR-100 also acts as an oncomiR inhibiting apoptosis. Due to the variation of roles of miRNAs in different tissues and stage of tumors, the characterization of their role in neoplasm is very important because of the possibility to use them as diagnostic or prognostic markers, even as targets for the development of new drugs

Estratégias para a produção de fator VIII recombinante (FVIIIr) em uma linhagem humana em condições de cultivo livres de soro e em suspensão / Strategies for the production of recombinant factor VIII (FVIIIr) in a human cell line cultured under serum-free suspension conditionsAngelo Luis Caron 02 September 2016 (has links)
A hemofilia A é uma doença ligada ao cromossomo X causada pela deficiência do fator VIII da coagulação sanguínea (FVIII). O tratamento disponível consiste na terapia de reposição da proteína do fator VIII derivada do plasma (FVIIIdp) ou recombinante (FVIIIr). Atualmente, dos 7 produtos recombinantes disponíveis no mercado, 6 são produzidos em linhagens celulares de roedores. A expressão dessa proteína em sistemas celulares não-humanos pode gerar uma molécula com perfil de modificações diferente do endógeno, podendo levar a reações imunogênicas e geração de inibidores anti-FVIIIr. Em função disso, novas estratégias de produção têm sido avaliadas, como a utilização de células hospedeiras mais eficientes no que diz respeito ao potencial de expressão da proteína de interesse. Dentre as linhagens de interesse, a linhagem hepática SK-HEP-1 tem se destacado por apresentar altos níveis de expressão do FVIIIr e potencial para o cultivo em suspensão em meios livres de soro fetal bovino (SFB). Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a produção de FVIIIr na linhagem celular humana SK-Hep-1 comparando duas estratégias para o estabelecimento de processos de produção em condições livres de soro e em suspensão: Estratégia 1 - adaptação para tais condições da linhagem já modificada geneticamente e Estratégia 2 - modificação gênica para a expressão da proteína já em células previamente adaptadas à tais condições. Para a estratégia 1, foram geradas duas linhagens recombinantes produtoras de FVIIIr, SK-HEP-F8/Neo-E1 e SK-HEP-F8/GFP-E1 aderentes e em cultivos suplementados com SFB. Na caracterização da cinética e produção do FVIIIr as linhagens apresentaram taxas específicas máxima de crescimento (?max) de 0,064 e 0,0031h-1 produzindo 1,0 e 0,78UI/mL de FVIIIr, respectivamente. Diversos protocolos de adaptação foram empregados, entretanto, não foi possível obter sucesso na adaptação das linhagens recombinantes para condições livres de soro e em suspensão. Para a estratégia 2, as células SK-HEP-1 selvagens adaptadas ao meio de cultura livre de SFB SFMII apresentaram um valor de ?max de 0,0186h-1 e Xmax de 1,9x106cels/mL. Para as etapas de modificação gênica da linhagem selvagem foram utilizados os mesmos vetores lentivirais empregados para a geração das células recombinantes aderentes, pLVmpsvFVIII?B-Neo e pLVCMVFVIII?B-GFP. Para o primeiro, não foi possível gerar uma linhagem produtora do FVIIIr. Para o segundo, foi possível obter duas linhagens produtoras do FVIIIr com 0.14 e 0.12IU/mL de atividade pelo ensaio cromogênico. O presente trabalho mostrou que a linhagem humana Sk-Hep-1 é apropriada para a produção de altos níveis de FVIIIr. No entanto, maiores esforços devem ser voltados ao desenvolvimento de meios de cultura livres de soro específicos para a linhagem para possibilitar a produção eficiente do FVIIIr em suspensão em meios livre de soro. / Hemophilia A is a genetic X-linked disorder caused by the coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) deficiency. The current treatment is the replacement therapy with plasma derived FVIII (pdFVIII) or recombinant FVIII (rFVIII) products. Nowadays, of the seven products available in the market, six are produced in rodent expression systems, which can result in a rFVIII molecule with different post-translational modifications and may lead to immune responses to non-human epitopes. Therefore, new production strategies have been evaluated, as the use of more efficient hosts in terms of protein expression potential. Among potential cell lines, the hepatic SK-HEP-1 cell line features high levels of rFVIII production and potential for serum-free suspension culture. In face of the exposed above, the goal of this study was to evaluate rFVIII production in the SK-HEP-1 human cell line comparing two strategies for the establishment of production process in a suspension serum-free condition: strategy 1 - adaptation to these conditions of a genetic modified cell line; strategy 2 - genetic modification of an already adapted cell line to rFVIII protein expression. For strategy 1, two adherent rFVIII producer cell lines were established in serum containing medium, SK-HEP-F8/Neo-E1 e SK-HEP-F8/GFP-E1. Characterization of cell growth and rFVIII production showed a maximum specific growth rate (?max) of 0.064 and 0.00311h-1 with rFVIII production of 1.0 and 0.78UI/mL, respectively. Different adaptation protocols were used; however, it was not possible to adapt the recombinant cell lines to growth in suspension serum-free conditions. For strategy 2, the wildtype SK-HEP-1 cell line adapted growth in SFMII BSF medium, showed a ?max of 0.0186h-1 and a maximum cell concentration (Xmax) of 1.9x106cells/mL. For the genetic modification, it were employed the same lentiviral vectors used for the recombinant adherent cells generation, pLVmpsvFVIII?B-Neo and pLVCMVFVIII?B-GFP. For the first, no attempts were successful. For the second, it was possible to generate two rFVIII producer populations with 0.14 and 0.12IU/mL activity, measured by chromogenic assay. These results demonstrate that the SK-HEP-1 cell line is appropriate for the production of high levels of rFVIII. Nevertheless, efforts should be made in developing specific medium to support efficient rFVIII production in suspension and suspension serum-free conditions.

Measurement of cell adhesion forces by holographic microscopy / Mesure des forces d'adhérence cellulaire par microscopie holographiqueMakarchuk, Stanislaw 09 December 2016 (has links)
Les forces mécaniques, générées par la cellule jouent un rôle crucial dans l'adhésion cellulaire, qui est un processus commun à un grand nombre de lignées cellulaires. Afin de mesurer la champ des forces pendant l'adhérence cellulaire, nous utilisons la microscopie de force de traction, où la cellule adhère à la surface plane d'un substrat souple dans le plan. Les forces sont calculées à partir du champ de déplacement mesuré à l'intérieur du substrat sous la cellule. Nous avons construit le microscope, dans lequel nous utilisons des billes sphériques en polystyrène pour mesurer le champ de déplacement. Les positions des marqueurs sont obtenues en analysant I' image interférentielle des particules. Avec cette technique, nous atteignons une précision nanométrique sur le champ de déplacement des particules, ce qui nous permet d'améliorer la résolution en force de ce type de microscope. Les premières mesures ont été effectuées avec la lignée de cellules cancéreuses SW 480. / Mechanical forces, generated by the cell plays crucial role in cell adhesion - common process for different cell lines. ln order to measure the force map during cellular adhesion, we use Traction Force Microscopy (TFM), where cell adheres to the soft substrate in 20 plane, and the forces are calculated from measured displacement field inside the substrate underneath the cell. We built the microscope, where instead of using fluorescent markers, we use spherical polystyrene beads in order to measure the displacement field. Positions of the markers are obtained by analyzing the interference pattern caused by the beads in bright-field light. With this technique, we reach nanometer accuracy of the microsphere position determination, that, respectively, influence accuracy of the calculated force field. With the microscope first measurements were performed with cancer cell line SW 480.
