Article Abstract
High-content screening (HCS), which combines automated fluorescence microscopy with quantitative image analysis, allows the acquisition of unbiased multiparametric data at the single cell level. This approach has been used to address diverse biological questions and identify a plethora of quantitative phenotypes of varying complexity in numerous different model systems. Here, we describe some recent applications of HCS, ranging from the identification of genes required for specific biological processes to the characterization of genetic interactions. We review the steps involved in the design of useful biological assays and automated image analysis, and describe major challenges associated with each. Additionally, we highlight emerging technologies and future challenges, and discuss how the field of HCS might be enhanced in the future.

Inhibitory Effects of Citrus-Derived Flavonoids Hesperidin and Hesperetin on SARS-CoV-2 Spike-Mediated Syncytia Formation Using In Vitro Cell Model.

Purpose: SARS-CoV-2 infection may lead to a worse prognosis in COVID-19 patients by inducing syncytia formation which implies intercellular transmission and immune evasion. Hesperidin (HSD) and hesperetin (HST) are two citrus flavonoids that demonstrate the potential to interfere with spike/human angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (hACE2) binding and show an inhibitory effect in the SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus internalization model. Here, we determined the effects of HSD and HST to inhibit syncytia formation using in vitro cell models.

Introduction: Efficient preclinical prediction of cardiovascular side effects poses a pivotal challenge for the pharmaceutical industry. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) are becoming increasingly important in this field due to inaccessibility of human native cardiac tissue. Current preclinical hiPSC-CMs models focus on functional changes such as electrophysiological abnormalities, however other parameters, such as structural toxicity, remain less understood.

Although multiparameter cellular morphological profiling methods and three-dimensional (3D) biological model systems can potentially provide complex insights for pharmaceutical discovery campaigns, there have been relatively few reports combining these experimental approaches. In this study, we used the U87 glioblastoma cell line grown in a 3D spheroid format to validate a multiparameter cellular morphological profiling screening method. The steps of this approach include 3D spheroid treatment, cell staining, fully automated digital image acquisition, image segmentation, numerical feature extraction, and multiple machine learning approaches for cellular profiling.

Postmenopausal women's estrogen decline is a key factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Phytoestrogen may prevent CVD by protecting vascular endothelium and inhibiting vascular smooth muscle proliferation via receptor's genomic or nongenomic pathways, yet effective estrogen receptor α (ERα)-targeting phytoestrogens need further exploration. Molecular docking and thermal shift assay were used to verify compound binding to ERα.

Introduction: Mutations in the MAPT gene that are causal for frontotemporal dementia (FTD) lead to mislocalization of tau protein to the neuronal cell body, changing microtubule dynamics to disrupt the nuclear envelope and nucleocytoplasmic transport.
Methods: We report a high content imaging-based phenotypic screen to identify novel small molecules that correct nuclear envelope defects in human neurons expressing the MAPT IVS10+16 mutation causal for FTD.
Results: Screening a 19,786-compound chemical diversity library, we identified > 100 compounds that corrected nuclear membrane defects in MAPT IVS10+16 neurons, with 23 demonstrating robust dose-dependent rescue.
