Abstract [en]

The fate of the cell is governed by interactions among proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules. It is vital to look at these interactions in a cellular environment if we want to increase our understanding of cellular processes. Herein we will describe how the in situ proximity ligation assay (in situ PLA) can be used to visualize protein interactions in fixed cells and tissues. In situ PLA is a novel technique that uses DNA, together with DNA modifying processes such as ligation, cleavage, and polymerization, as tools to create surrogate markers for protein interactions of interest. Different in situ PLA designs make it possible not only to detect protein-protein interactions but also post-translational modifications and interactions of proteins with nucleic acids. Flexibility in DNA probe design and the multitude of different DNA modifying enzymes provide the basis for modifications of the method to make it suitable to use in many applications. Furthermore, examples of how in situ PLA can be combined with other methods for a comprehensive view of the cellular activity status are discussed.

Abstract [en]

Genomic DNA is the template of life - the entity which is characterized by a self-sustaining anatomical development, regulated signaling processes, the ability to reproduce and to respond to stimuli. Through what is classically known as the central dogma, the genome is transcribed into mRNA, which in turn is translated into proteins. The proteins take part in most, if not all, cellular processes, and it is by unraveling these processes that we can begin to understand life and disease-causing mechanisms.

In vitro and in vivo assays are two levels at which protein communication may be studied, and which permit manipulation and control over the proteins under investigation. But in order to retrieve a representation of the processes as close to reality as possible, in situ analysis may instead be applied as a complement to the other two levels of study. In situ PLA offers the ability to survey protein activity in tissue samples and primary cell lines, at a single cell level, detecting single targets in their natural unperturbed environment.  

In this thesis new developments of the in situ PLA are described, along with a new technique offering in situ enzyme-free detection of proximity between biomolecules.

The dynamic range of in situ PLA has now been increased by several orders of magnitude to cover analogous ranges of protein expression; the output signals have been modified to offer a greater signal-to-noise ratio and to limit false-positive-rates while also extending the dynamic range further; simultaneous detection of multiple protein complexes is now possible; proximity-HCR is presented as a robust and inexpensive enzyme-free assay for protein complex detection.

The thesis also covers descriptions on how the techniques may be simultaneously applied, also together with other techniques, for the multiple data-point acquisition required by the emerging realm of systems biology. A future perspective is presented for how much more information may be simultaneously acquired from tissue samples to describe biomolecular interactions in a new manner. This will allow new types of biomarkers and drugs to be discovered, and a new holistic understanding of life.

Abstract [en]

Cellular functions are regulated and executed by complex protein interaction networks. Accordingly, it is essential to understand the interplay between proteins in determining the activity status of signaling cascades. New methods are therefore required to provide information on different protein interaction events at the single cell level in heterogeneous cell populations such as in tissue sections. Here, we describe a multiplex proximity ligation assay for simultaneous visualization of multiple protein complexes in situ. The assay is an enhancement of the original proximity ligation assay, and it is based on using proximity probes labeled with unique tag sequences that can be used to read out which probes, from a pool of probes, have bound a certain protein complex. Using this approach, it is possible to gain information on the constituents of different protein complexes, the subcellular location of the complexes, and how the balance between different complex constituents can change between normal and malignant cells, for example. As a proof of concept, we used the assay to simultaneously visualize multiple protein complexes involving EGFR, HER2, and HER3 homo- and heterodimers on a single-cell level in breast cancer tissue sections. The ability to study several protein complex formations concurrently at single cell resolution could be of great potential for a systems understanding, paving the way for improved disease diagnostics and possibilities for drug development.

Abstract [en]

A tumor does not consist of a homogenous population of cancer cells. Therefore, to understand cancer, the tumor microenvironment and the interplay between the different cell types present in the tumor has to be taken into account, and how this regulates the growth and survival of the cancer cells. To achieve a full picture of this complex interplay, analysis of tumor tissue should ideally be performed with cellular resolution, providing activity status of individual cells in this heterogeneous population of different cell-types. In addition, in situ analysis provides information on the architecture of the tissue wherein the cancer cells thrive, providing information of the identity of neighboring cells that can be used to understand cell-cell communication. Herein we describe how padlock probes and in situ PLA can be used for visualization of nucleic acids and protein activity, respectively, directly in tissue sections, and their potential future role in personalized medicine.

Abstract [en]

Background: Sensitive detection of protein interactions and post-translational modifications of native proteins is a challenge for research and diagnostic purposes. A method for this, which could be used in point of care devices should be cheap and robust.

Results: Building on hybridization chain reaction, we designed a four hairpin system which is metastable in solution at 37°C for several hours and undergoes rapid signal amplification upon introduction of an initiator oligonucleotide. When the proximity hairpins are conjugated to antibodies these proximity probes in combination with the HCR hairpins and the initiator oligonucleotide provide a specific, enzyme free method to detect HIF-1α/HIF-1β and potentially other protein interactions and PTMs in situ. Furthermore it was possible to detect single proteins in the different compartments of the cell, further proving the specificity of this technique.

Conclusion: In this study we present proximity dependent HCR, which is a cheap and robust method to detect protein interactions and post-translational modifications. Because of its independence from enzymes the technique has only low demands on storage and handling which makes it interesting for point of care devices.
