How to Catch a Smurf? – Ageing and Beyond…In vivo Assessment of Intestinal Permeability in Multiple Model Organisms

Résumé

The Smurf Assay (SA) was initially developed in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster where a dramatic increase of intestinal permeability has been shown to occur during aging (Rera et al., 2011). We have since validated the protocol in multiple other model organisms (Dambroise et al., 2016) and have utilized the assay to further our understanding of aging (Tricoire and Rera, 2015; Rera et al., 2018). The SA has now also been used by other labs to assess intestinal barrier permeability (Clark et al., 2015; Katzenberger et al., 2015; Barekat et al., 2016; Chakrabarti et al., 2016; Gelino et al., 2016). The SA in itself is simple; however, numerous small details can have a considerable impact on its experimental validity and subsequent interpretation. Here, we provide a detailed update on the SA technique and explain how to catch a Smurf while avoiding the most common experimental fallacies.
