[Abstract] Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC2) play an important role in immune responses at barrier surfaces, notably in the lung during airway allergic inflammation or asthma. Several studies have described methods to isolate ILC2s from wild-type naive mice, most of them using cell sorting to obtain a pure population. Here, we describe in detail, a simple, efficient method for isolation and culture of lung mouse ILC2s. Lungs from Rag2-/- mice pretreated with IL-33 are collected and processed into single cell suspensions. Lymphoid cells are then recovered by density gradient separation. Lin-CD45+ cells are selected by depletion of lineage positive cells followed by positive selection of CD45+ cells. Culture of the isolated cells for several days ...
[摘要] 第2组先天性淋巴细胞（ILC2）在屏障表面，特别是在气道过敏性炎症或哮喘期间的肺中的免疫应答中起重要作用。一些研究已经描述了从野生型幼稚小鼠中分离ILC2的方法，其中大多数使用细胞分选来获得纯种群。在这里，我们详细描述了一种简单有效的肺小鼠ILC2分离和培养方法。收集用IL-33预处理的 Rag2 - / - 小鼠的肺并加工成单细胞悬浮液。然后通过密度梯度分离回收淋巴样细胞。通过耗尽谱系阳性细胞然后阳性选择CD45 + 细胞来选择Lin - CD45 + 细胞。将分离的细胞培养数天导致高度纯化的ILC2群体表达典型的细胞表面标志物（CD90.2，Sca1，CD25，CD127和IL-33R）。这些细胞可在培养物中扩增长达10天，并用于多种离体测定或体内过继转移实验。
【背景】第2组先天性淋巴细胞（ILC2）是组织驻留细胞，其在抗寄生虫先天免疫以及过敏性炎症的发展中起关键作用。它们通过产生大量的2型细胞因子IL-5和IL-13对上皮细胞衍生的细胞因子如白细胞介素-33（IL-33）起反应，后者又诱导嗜酸性粒细胞增多和粘液产生（Cayrol和Girard，2018）。为了更好地表征这些细胞的功能和调节，许多组通过荧光激活细胞分选（FACS）从野生型小鼠（WT）的肺中分选ILC2。由于稳定状态下肺中存在的ILC2数量较少，因此该方法导致纯化细胞的产量较低（每只小鼠1×10 ...

[Abstract] The migration of membrane receptors upon exposure to different stimulants/inhibitors is of great importance. Among others, the internalization of membrane receptors affects their accessibility to ligands and cell responsiveness to environmental cues. Experimentally, receptor internalization can be used as a measure of their activation. In our studies, we employed this approach to explore cross-talk between a seven transmembrane domain receptor for neuropeptide Y (NPY), Y5R, and a tyrosine kinase receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), TrkB. To this end, we measured the internalization of Y5R upon stimulation with the TrkB ligand, BDNF. Upon treatment with BDNF, the cells were exposed to a membrane impermeable, biotinylation reagent that selectively labels surface proteins. ...
[摘要] 膜受体在暴露于不同的刺激剂/抑制剂时的迁移是非常重要的。其中，膜受体的内化影响其对配体的可及性和对环境线索的细胞应答性。在实验上，受体内化可用作其活化的量度。在我们的研究中，我们采用这种方法来探讨神经肽Y（NPY）的七个跨膜结构域受体，Y5R和脑源性神经营养因子（BDNF），TrkB的酪氨酸激酶受体之间的串扰。为此，我们测量了用TrkB配体BDNF刺激后Y5R的内化。在用BDNF处理后，将细胞暴露于选择性标记表面蛋白的不透膜的生物素化试剂。随后，生物素化的膜蛋白在具有抗生物素蛋白树脂的柱上亲和纯化，并通过蛋白质印迹分析。存在于对照和配体处理的细胞的细胞表面上的受体部分的差异用作其内化和对特定刺激的反应的量度。
