Cell Biology meets Immunology and Virology, spiced up with nanobodies
Bonn, Germany
Joined May 2018
Ever wondered why there is so little #microscopy of #GSDMD pores? Check out how Lisa Schiffelers used #Nanobodies to stabilize monomeric GSDMD in the plasma membrane, to dissect the steps of pore formation, and to develop some new ideas for therapy. https://t.co/DmCnqN8Chl

Nature Communications - Inflammasome assembly promotes the cleavage and oligomerisation of gasdermin D (GSDMD) and subsequent pore formation. Here the authors raise nanobodies to human gasdermin...

Late #WeekendRead: We describe a novel reporter to visualize endogenous #inflammasome assembly. Suitable for cell lines, primary cells, and tissues as well as quantification by #microscopy and #flowcytometry. Happy to share. https://t.co/MdgETQduNF

How could we identify key genes involved in any biological process and cell type? Please read on about Nuclear In-Situ Sequencing (NIS-Seq) https://t.co/AnBlEYS0yR

and so it begins.....science needs to start getting serious about how how to deal with this type of attacks, sowing distrust.

Check out Lisa‘s take on her recent paper on the mechanism (and potential therapeutic targeting) of #GSDMD pore formation using #nanobodies.
🎬 Episode 11 of #SpotOnScience is out! In this episode, Lisa Schiffelers from the group of @FISchmidtLab shares insights into her work on unraveling gasdermin D (GSDMD) pore formation using nanobodies. 👩🔬 Check out the episode: https://t.co/AU2xJV7IFm

It is out! #NanoPlex is the universal strategy for multiplexing any immunofluorescence using erasable #nanobodies from @_NanoTag_. We showcase easy multiplexed STED, STORM, and 21-plex Confocal #Microscopy. Published in @NatureComms here: https://t.co/mCtlJsKCRR

Epic effort from Flo & first author Lisa Schiffelers of @FISchmidtLab . Antagonistic camelid #nanobodies are small enough to traverse early #GSDMD pores to inhibit further #pore #formation. Monomers target the membrane, suggesting #monomer to #oligomer transition on #membrane.

In parellel work, @anja_kopp @Geyer_lab solved the structure of two of our #nanobodies bound to #GSDMD. https://t.co/Mz4JKPCRlc. The Feng Shao lab also used #AAV to express one of our #GSDMD #nanobodies to prevent loss of the #BBB during sepsis. https://t.co/bpBxpMhBwA

Special thanks to all the lab members who helped during the revision, including @YM_Tesfamariam, Lea, Stefan, Sabine and Steffen. This work was done at @IIIBonn @UniBonn @UniklinikBonn with funding by @ImmunoSens @sfb_1403 @237Crc .

We think the antagonistic GSDMD #nanobodies enter cells when the first #GSDMD pores form. They prevent any further pore formation and thus -in combination with cellular repair mechanism- prevent cell death by pyroptosis. We are looking forward to test this concept in vivo ...

As #nanobodies enter pyroptotic cells (left), Lisa also tested if recombinant #nanobodies prevent pyroptosis when added to the medium during #inflammasome activation (right). They do!

As cells no longer die by #pyroptosis, stabilized, endogenous #GSDMD in the plasma membrane can even stained with antibodies for cleaved GSDMD.

Surprisingly, expression of antagonistic #GSDMD #nanobodies stabilized monomeric GSDMD NTD-mNeonGreen in the plasma membrane.

We had previously tried to use a cool tool from @inflammgenetics to visualize #GSDMD pores in living cells (mNeonGreen remains with the #GSDMD NT), but mostly found GSDMD in intracellular structures ...

We raised #alpaca #nanobodies against #GSDMD and found that two cytosolically expressed nanobodies completely shut down pore formation, #pyroptosis, and cytokine release after #inflammasome activation ....
