Analysis of B Cell Migration by Intravital Microscopy

[Abstract]  

During immune responses, B cells home to lymph nodes (LN), where they encounter antigens. Homing starts with capture and L-selectin-dependent rolling on the activated endothelium of high endothelial venules (HEV). After recognition of chemokines presented on HEV, activation of B cell integrins occurs mediating firm arrest. Subsequently, B cells crawl to the spot of extravasation to enter the LN. Extravasation can be visualized and quantified in vivo by intravital microscopy (IVM) of the inguinal LN. Here, we describe an established protocol that permits detailed in vivo analysis of B cell recruitment to LN under sterile inflammatory conditions. We describe data acquisition, exportation, quantification, and statistical analysis using specialized software. IVM of LN is a powerful technique

[摘要]  [摘要]在免疫反应期间,B细胞归巢于淋巴结(LN ),在那里它们遇到抗原。归巢始于在高内皮小静脉(HEV)的活化内皮细胞上进行捕获和L-选择蛋白依赖性滚动。在识别出存在于HEV上的趋化因子后,B细胞整合素的激活发生了介导的牢固停滞。随后,B细胞爬到外渗点进入LN。外渗可通过腹股沟淋巴结的活体显微镜检查(IVM)进行体内可视化和定量。在这里,我们描述了一个已建立的协议,该协议允许在无菌炎症条件下对LN的B细胞募集的详细体内分析。我们描述了数据采集,出口,定量,并使用专门的软件进行统计分析。LN的IVM是一种强大的技术,可以更好地了解体内炎症过程中B细胞的迁移行为。


[背景]次级LN在战术上定位为通过淋巴系统排出抗原,因此在人体不同部位的免疫反应中起着基本作用。这意味着原位免疫细胞的募集,抗原的遭遇以及免疫反应的增强(Tan and Watanabe,2010; Tavares et ...

[Abstract]  Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown profound therapeutic potential in tissue repair and regeneration. However, recent studies indicate that MSCs are largely entrapped in lungs after intravenous delivery and die shortly. The underlying mechanisms have been poorly understood. We have provided evidence to show that excess expression and activation of integrins in culture-expanded MSCs is a critical cause of MSCs adhesion to endothelial cells of the lung microarteries resulting in the entrapment of the cells (Wang et al., 2015). Therefore, it may be meaningful to test the adhesive ability of MSCs to endothelial cells in vitro before intravenous administration to avoid their lung vascular obstructions. Here we report a simple method to measure MSCs attachment to ... [摘要]  间充质干细胞(MSCs)在组织修复和再生中显示出深远的治疗潜力。 然而,最近的研究表明,MSCs在静脉内递送后很大程度上被截留在肺中并且很快死亡。 基本的机制一直不甚了解。 我们提供的证据表明培养扩增的MSCs中整联蛋白的过量表达和活化是MSCs与肺微动脉的内皮细胞粘附的关键原因,导致细胞的包埋(Wang等人 >,2015)。 因此,在静脉给药之前测试MSC对体外内皮细胞的粘附能力以避免它们的肺血管阻塞可能是有意义的。 在这里,我们报告了一种简单的方法来衡量MSC与内皮细胞的附着。

【背景】间充质干细胞(MSCs)正在成为一种极具潜力的治疗药物,许多临床试验正在进行中(Salem和Thiemermann,2010)。由于MSC的方便性和安全性,静脉输注MSCs已成为近期临床试验中MSCs治疗的流行途径(Wu and Zhao,2012)。然而,越来越多的证据表明,MSCs在血管内注射后引起相当大的血管阻塞。在静脉内输注时,超过80%的MSC被包埋在肺中,并且在急性缺血性心脏或脑中仅检测到少于1%的MSC(Lee等人,2009; Toma等人,等人,2009年)。

最近的研究表明,MSCs在静脉内给药后大部分停留在前毛细血管微血管中,并且其中大部分在短期内局部缺血死亡(Toma等人,2009)。因此,血管内给药的MSC的安全性和有效性已成为人们日益关注的问题。尚未完全了解MSCs血管阻塞的机制。 ...
