[Abstract]  In myocardial infarction (MI), a number of cardiomyocytes undergo apoptosis. These apoptotic cardiomyocytes are promptly engulfed by phagocytes. If the dead cells are not engulfed, their noxious contents are released outside, resulting in induction of inflammation. Therefore, the removal of these dead cells is necessary. However, the contribution of each phagocyte type to the removal of apoptotic cells in infarcted hearts remains unresolved. Here, we describe an in vitro protocol for a phagocytosis assay to compare the engulfment ability of cardiac macrophages and cardiac myofibroblasts. [摘要]  在心肌梗死(MI)中,许多心肌细胞凋亡。 这些凋亡心肌细胞被吞噬细胞迅速吞噬。 如果死细胞没有被吞没,其有害物质被释放到外面,导致炎症的诱导。 因此,需要去除这些死细胞。 然而,每个吞噬细胞类型对梗塞心脏中凋亡细胞的去除的贡献仍未解决。 在这里,我们描述了吞噬作用测定的体外方案来比较心脏巨噬细胞和心脏肌成纤维细胞的吞噬能力。
【背景】长期以来一直认为,心脏巨噬细胞消除了失败的心脏中产生的凋亡细胞。 然而,我们发现负责组织纤维化的心脏肌成纤维细胞也具有在MI后吞噬凋亡细胞的能力(Nakaya等,2017)。 这一发现促使我们比较心脏巨噬细胞和心脏肌成纤维细胞的吞噬能力。 在这里,我们提供了一个详细的体外吞噬试验方案来评估吞噬吞噬的程度。
