Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the principal human pathogens, causing severe infections in skin wounds. MRSA infection triggers a cell response mainly by mitochondrial-mediated pathway, resulting in mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization, extrusion of the mitochondrial inner membrane into the cytoplasm, and then spillage of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) into the cytoplasm. The cell recognizes the discharged cytosolic mtDNA (cmtDNA) as "not-itself" because of mtDNA properties and triggers cascade events, such as the activation of inflammasomes. Here, we detail a method to detect and measure the mtDNA release into the cytoplasm in immortalized keratinocytes (HaCaT cells), after the infection with MRSA at different time points after the infection.
期刊介绍：
For over fifty years, Methods in Cell Biology has helped researchers answer the question "What method should I use to study this cell biology problem?" Edited by leaders in the field, each thematic volume provides proven, state-of-art techniques, along with relevant historical background and theory, to aid researchers in efficient design and effective implementation of experimental methodologies. Over its many years of publication, Methods in Cell Biology has built up a deep library of biological methods to study model developmental organisms, organelles and cell systems, as well as comprehensive coverage of microscopy and other analytical approaches.
