Vascular Permeability Assay in Human Coronary and Mouse Brachiocephalic Arteries

[Abstract]  Coronary artery disease remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Previous work, including ours, has focused on the role of intraplaque hemorrhage, particularly from immature microvessel angiogenesis, as an important contributor to plaque progression via increases in vascular permeability leading to further intraplaque hemorrhage, which increases red cell membrane-derived free cholesterol in plaque content and inflammatory cell recruitment. Evans Blue Dye (EBD) assay is widely used as a standard assay for vasculature permeability. However, the method has not been established in fresh human coronary artery autopsy samples to evaluate intraplaque microvessel permeability and angiogenesis. In this protocol, we describe a method to evaluate human coronary samples for ... [摘要]  冠状动脉疾病仍然是发病率和死亡率的重要原因。以前的研究,包括我们的研究,都集中在斑块内出血的作用,特别是来自未成熟的微血管血管生成,作为斑块进展的重要因素,通过增加血管通透性导致进一步的斑块内出血,增加斑块中红细胞膜来源的游离胆固醇内容和炎症细胞募集。 Evans Blue Dye(EBD)测定法广泛用作脉管系统渗透性的标准测定法。然而,该方法尚未在新鲜人冠状动脉尸检样本中建立,以评估斑块内微血管通透性和血管生成。在该方案中,我们描述了评估人类冠状动脉样本的微血管通透性的方法,包括灌注冠状动脉的程序,用于组织学分析和免疫染色的动脉样本的收集以及使用适当的方法来分析图像。还提供了在小鼠模型中使用FITC-葡聚糖以评估血管通透性的任选程序。这些Evans Blue Dye程序可用于在各种病理条件下提供人样品和动物模型中内皮完整性和渗透性的功能测量。

【背景】
血管内皮细胞主动调节血浆成分和循环细胞(包括白细胞)从血液到亚内皮组织的浸润。这种机制通常被认为是动脉粥样硬化起始和发展的关键步骤(Mundi et al。>,2018)。血管通透性的调节通过内皮细胞 - 细胞连接的协调打开和闭合来实现。在几种疾病状态下,内源性药物如组胺,凝血酶和血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)显着但可逆地以不同方式改变细胞 - ...

Immunohistochemical Identification of Human Skeletal Muscle Macrophages

[Abstract]  Macrophages have well-characterized roles in skeletal muscle repair and regeneration. Relatively little is known regarding the role of resident macrophages in skeletal muscle homeostasis, extracellular matrix remodeling, growth, metabolism and adaptation to various stimuli including exercise and training. Despite speculation into macrophage contributions during these processes, studies characterizing macrophages in non-injured muscle are limited and methods used to identify macrophages vary. A standardized method for the identification of human resident skeletal muscle macrophages will aide in the characterization of these immune cells and allow for the comparison of results across studies. Here, we present an immunohistochemistry (IHC) protocol, validated by flow cytometry, to distinctly ... [摘要]  巨噬细胞在骨骼肌修复和再生中具有很好的特征。关于驻留巨噬细胞在骨骼肌动态平衡,细胞外基质重塑,生长,代谢和适应各种刺激(包括运动和训练)中的作用知之甚少。尽管在这些过程中推测了巨噬细胞的贡献,但表征非受伤肌肉中的巨噬细胞的研究是有限的,用于鉴定巨噬细胞的方法各不相同。用于鉴定人类骨骼肌巨噬细胞的标准化方法将有助于鉴定这些免疫细胞,并可用于各研究结果的比较。在这里,我们提出免疫组织化学(IHC)协议,通过流式细胞术验证,以清楚地识别常驻人类骨骼肌巨噬细胞种群。我们显示CD11b和CD206双IHC有效识别人骨骼肌中的巨噬细胞。此外,非受伤人骨骼肌中的大多数巨噬细胞表现出“混合”M1 / M2表型,表达CD11b,CD14,CD68,CD86和CD206。在休息的骨骼肌中存在相对较少的CD11b + / CD206-巨噬细胞群。这种人口的相对丰度的变化可能反映了骨骼肌肉环境的重要变化。肌肉中的CD11b和CD206 IHC也显示出巨噬细胞的不同形态学特征,这些特征可能与这些细胞的功能状态有关。

【背景】巨噬细胞是能够适应局部微环境变化的多向性免疫细胞。在过去几年中,研究表明巨噬细胞表型是动态的,存在于连续统一体中(Mosser and Edwards,2008,Italiani and Boraschi,2014,Martinez and ...
