白细胞募集的方法，是在炎症反应的关键步骤;它涉及到从向靶组织，在那里它们都能够发挥它们的效应子功能的循环系统的白细胞的迁移。白细胞募集是积分在多种炎性病症，如动脉粥样硬化斑块，心肌梗塞，缺血/再灌注，和移植手术1，以及多种与中枢神经系统有关的神经发炎条件10-12,20,24,25。考虑到本病条件白细胞募集跨度的自动注入微腔提供了一个不可或缺的工具，允许研究者研究白细胞迁移动态能力的多样性。 在过去的几十年里，各种体外测定中已开发研究的白细胞粘附26的动态。不幸的是，所有这些测定的要求的提取从血液中的白细胞，引入机械活化。为了更接近体内环境，适应了以收 ​​集全血样本，控制血流动力学流动条件16,17。在这里，我们通过将一涂覆室向小鼠循环系统延伸在该领域中以往的进展。我们能够调节血液的流动的生理范围和研究白细胞滚动的动态。该涂层室让我们来研究具体的粘附分子白细胞相互作用的能力。由于该系统被用作由一个活老鼠操作的单元中，它更紧密地模仿自然的环境中，让我们来研究在多种免疫小鼠模型白细胞 - 内皮相互作用。此外，该系统使我们能够提供的多种基因小鼠模型的优势。而该系统不完全复制的体内环境，它提供了研究specifi一个平台白细胞的生理条件下用C元素，还没有以前是不可能的壮举。虽然这使我们更接近了一步一个更加符合生理环境有限制的制度。它不完全复制的脉管系统的复杂的三维矩阵​​，所以我们只能够评价被限制在腔室涂层白细胞相互作用的某些要素。此外，大，应注意，以确保封闭系统到鼠标循环由以下中的所有协议中提到的步骤。气泡的引入将大大影响该实验的准确度和可重复性。 尽管我们描述了使用的自动注入微流室的评估白细胞轧制动力学过程必须由调查员进行个性化，研究各种疾病的潜力。例如，癌细胞转移通过表达许多白细胞共享共同整合。学习在克其轧制动力学在一个设置更密切模仿体内环境可能在我们的知识帮助，以及可能的预测的某些癌细胞的侵袭性质，。一种可能的方法可以是一个标记技术结合的癌细胞，如GFP 27，伴随着流室测定法来跟踪表达GFP的肿瘤细胞的轧制动态。定涂覆室与各种物质和连接多个腔室，以相同的鼠标这将是有趣地看到这个过程是如何修改后用于与转基因小鼠和疾病模型组合在其他实验室使用的灵活性。我们在这里描述的技术中仅仅触及一个更广泛的应用潜力，只限于由研究者的创造力。

炎症是机体对损伤的普遍反应，在这两个固有免疫和适应性免疫系统功能的关键一步。响应于损伤和/或炎症刺激，内皮细胞特异性上调粘附分子;这导致通过微血管内皮细胞白细胞外渗，主要是毛细血管后静脉。这个过程开始于自由流动的白细胞在内皮血流的束缚。稳定的轧制和白细胞，这反过来又导致轮回和细胞毒性剂的分泌的牢固粘附，按照此圈养1,2。选择素是已知介导的早期步骤的级联3-5;整合是负责对后面的步骤牢固粘附和轮回1,6-8的。 越来越多的证据表明，人体在缺血再灌注损伤的动物模型白细胞和内皮细胞黏附分子有重要作用，哮喘，银屑病，多发性硬化症，和年龄相关的黄斑变性9-12。在这些条件下，炎症反应是误导攻击自己的身体，导致健康组织的破坏。现有的抗炎剂（如非类固醇抗炎药，皮质类固醇，或其他化学治疗剂）携带的严重副作用长期使用13的风险。因此，它是非常感兴趣的有适当的工具，以确定疾病特异性分子的能力，其可最终定位到具有期望的消炎作用，而剩余的非毒性14。 现有的体外方法如静态白细胞粘附测定法如早在1976年15使用。该平行流动室首次在体外用在1987，研究流动条件下白细胞-内皮相互作用。在这些实验中，刺激呼玛N从静脉血多形核白细胞（PMN）灌注过的原代人脐静脉内皮细胞（HUVECs）的单层。为了控制血液动力学流动条件下，哈佛器械注射泵是采用16。可替代地，为了避免人为白细胞隔离，全血组合使用涂布有固定化的粘附分子17在玻璃室中。 为了避免刺激白细胞和机制上研究近似生理条件下其与粘附分子的相互作用，在体外自动注入，体外循环，动静脉电路开发16。在该电路中，血液中的活老鼠的右颈总动脉和左侧颈外静脉之间流动麻醉下，使玻璃微流腔室涂覆有单个或共同固定化的粘附分子内天然的PBL的相互作用。一个主要的优势，这种SYSTE米是采用基因工程小鼠，其中炎性途径是直接或间接地操纵的能力。此外，还有以查明白细胞粘附分子炎症，游离外部活化的分离的贡献，流动性条件下的能力。一个流量调节器，在流动室的输入点中的应用提供了广泛的剪切力的变化的实验以模拟或者动脉或静脉系统18-22。在这里，我们非常详细地描述关于体外自动注入微流室法的编制和性能的协议。

Parallel-plate Flow Chamber and Continuous Flow Circuit to Evaluate Endothelial Progenitor Cells under Laminar Flow Shear Stress

The overall goal of this method is to describe a technique to subject adherent cells to laminar flow conditions and evaluate their response to well quantifiable fluid shear stresses1.
Our flow chamber design and flow circuit (Fig. 1) contains a transparent viewing region that enables testing of cell adhesion and imaging of cell morphology immediately before flow (Fig. 11A, B), at various time points during flow (Fig. 11C), and after flow (Fig. 11D). These experiments are illustrated with human umbilical cord blood-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and porcine EPCs2,3.
This method is also applicable to other adherent cell types, e.g. smooth muscle cells (SMCs) or fibroblasts.
The chamber and all parts of the circuit are easily sterilized with steam autoclaving. In contrast to other chambers, e.g. microfluidic chambers, large numbers of cells (&gt; 1 million depending on cell size) can be recovered after the flow experiment under sterile conditions for cell culture or other experiments, e.g. DNA or RNA extraction, or immunohistochemistry (Fig. 11E), or scanning electron microscopy5. The shear stress can be adjusted by varying the flow rate of the perfusate, the fluid viscosity, or the channel height and width. The latter can reduce fluid volume or cell needs while ensuring that one-dimensional flow is maintained. It is not necessary to measure chamber height between experiments, since the chamber height does not depend on the use of gaskets, which greatly increases the ease of multiple experiments. Furthermore, the circuit design easily enables the collection of perfusate samples for analysis and/or quantification of metabolites secreted by cells under fluid shear stress exposure, e.g. nitric oxide (Fig. 12)6.

We are describing a method to subject adherent cells to laminar flow shear stress in a sterile continuous flow circuit. The cells' adhesion, morphology can be studied through the transparent chamber, samples obtained from the circuit for metabolite analysis and cells harvested after shear exposure for future experiments or culture.

Determination of the Transport Rate of Xenobiotics and Nanomaterials Across the Placenta using the ex vivo Human Placental Perfusion Model

Decades ago the human placenta was thought to be an impenetrable barrier between mother and unborn child. However, the discovery of thalidomide-induced birth defects and many later studies afterwards proved the opposite. Today several harmful xenobiotics like nicotine, heroin, methadone or drugs as well as environmental pollutants were described to overcome this barrier. With the growing use of nanotechnology, the placenta is likely to come into contact with novel nanoparticles either accidentally through exposure or intentionally in the case of potential nanomedical applications. Data from animal experiments cannot be extrapolated to humans because the placenta is the most species-specific mammalian organ 1. Therefore, the ex vivo dual recirculating human placental perfusion, developed by Panigel et al. in 1967 2 and continuously modified by Schneider et al. in 1972 3, can serve as an excellent model to study the transfer of xenobiotics or particles.
Here, we focus on the ex vivo dual recirculating human placental perfusion protocol and its further development to acquire reproducible results.
The placentae were obtained after informed consent of the mothers from uncomplicated term pregnancies undergoing caesarean delivery. The fetal and maternal vessels of an intact cotyledon were cannulated and perfused at least for five hours. As a model particle fluorescently labelled polystyrene particles with sizes of 80 and 500 nm in diameter were added to the maternal circuit. The 80 nm particles were able to cross the placental barrier and provide a perfect example for a substance which is transferred across the placenta to the fetus while the 500 nm particles were retained in the placental tissue or maternal circuit. The ex vivo human placental perfusion model is one of few models providing reliable information about the transport behavior of xenobiotics at an important tissue barrier which delivers predictive and clinical relevant data.

A Novel Three-dimensional Flow Chamber Device to Study Chemokine-directed Extravasation of Cells Circulating under Physiological Flow Conditions

Extravasation of circulating cells from the bloodstream plays a central role in many physiological and pathophysiological processes, including stem cell homing and tumor metastasis. The three-dimensional flow chamber device (hereafter the 3D device) is a novel in vitro technology that recreates physiological shear stress and allows each step of the cell extravasation cascade to be quantified. The 3D device consists of an upper compartment in which the cells of interest circulate under shear stress, and a lower compartment of static wells that contain the chemoattractants of interest. The two compartments are separated by porous inserts coated with a monolayer of endothelial cells (EC). An optional second insert with microenvironmental cells of interest can be placed immediately beneath the EC layer. A gas exchange unit allows the optimal CO2 tension to be maintained and provides an access point to add or withdraw cells or compounds during the experiment. The test cells circulate in the upper compartment at the desired shear stress (flow rate) controlled by a peristaltic pump. At the end of the experiment, the circulating and migrated cells are collected for further analyses. The 3D device can be used to examine cell rolling on and adhesion to EC under shear stress, transmigration in response to chemokine gradients, resistance to shear stress, cluster formation, and cell survival. In addition, the optional second insert allows the effects of crosstalk between EC and microenvironmental cells to be examined. The translational applications of the 3D device include testing of drug candidates that target cell migration and predicting the in vivo behavior of cells after intravenous injection. Thus, the novel 3D device is a versatile and inexpensive tool to study the molecular mechanisms that mediate cellular extravasation.

The three-dimensional flow chamber device is a novel in vitro technology for the quantitative and step-wise evaluation of the extravasation cascade of cells circulating under conditions of physiological shear stress. The device therefore fills a critical need for basic, preclinical, and clinical studies of cell migration.

Tissue Engineering by Intrinsic Vascularization in an In Vivo Tissue Engineering Chamber

In reconstructive surgery, there is a clinical need for an alternative to the current methods of autologous reconstruction which are complex, costly and trade one defect for another. Tissue engineering holds the promise to address this increasing demand. However, most tissue engineering strategies fail to generate stable and functional tissue substitutes because of poor vascularization. This paper focuses on an in vivo tissue engineering chamber model of intrinsic vascularization where a perfused artery and a vein either as an arteriovenous loop or a flow-through pedicle configuration is directed inside a protected hollow chamber. In this chamber-based system angiogenic sprouting occurs from the arteriovenous vessels and this system attracts ischemic and inflammatory driven endogenous cell migration which gradually fills the chamber space with fibro-vascular tissue. Exogenous cell/matrix implantation at the time of chamber construction enhances cell survival and determines specificity of the engineered tissues which develop. Our studies have shown that this chamber model can successfully generate different tissues such as fat, cardiac muscle, liver and others. However, modifications and refinements are required to ensure target tissue formation is consistent and reproducible. This article describes a standardized protocol for the fabrication of two different vascularized tissue engineering chamber models in vivo.

Tissue Engineering by Intrinsic Vascularization in an In Vivo Tissue Engineering Chamber

This is a guideline for constructing in vivo vascularized tissue using a microsurgical arteriovenous loop or a flow-through pedicle configuration inside a tissue engineering chamber. The vascularized tissues generated can be employed for organ regeneration and replacement of tissue defects, as well as for drug testing and disease modeling.

A Novel Surgical Technique As a Foundation for In Vivo Partial Liver Engineering in Rat

Organ engineering is a novel strategy to generate liver organ substitutes that can potentially be used in transplantation. Recently, in vivo liver engineering, including in vivo organ decellularization followed by repopulation, has emerged as a promising approach over ex vivo liver engineering. However, postoperative survival was not achieved. The aim of this study is to develop a novel surgical technique of in vivo selective liver lobe perfusion in rats as a prerequisite for in vivo liver engineering. We generate a circuit bypass only through the left lateral lobe. Then, the left lateral lobe is perfused with heparinized saline. The experiment is performed with 4 groups (n = 3 rats per group) based on different perfusion times of 20 min, 2 h, 3 h, and 4 h. Survival, as well as the macroscopically visible change of color and the histologically determined absence of blood cells in the portal triad and the sinusoids, is taken as an indicator for a successful model establishment. After selective perfusion of the left lateral lobe, we observe that the left lateral lobe, indeed, turned from red to faint yellow. In a histological assessment, no blood cells are visible in the branch of the portal vein, the central vein, and the sinusoids. The left lateral lobe turns red after reopening the blocked vessels. 12/12 rats survived the procedure for more than one week. We are the first to report a surgical model for in vivo single liver lobe perfusion with a long survival period of more than one week. In contrast to the previously published report, the most important advantage of the technique presented here is that perfusion of 70% of the liver is maintained throughout the whole procedure. The establishment of this technique provides a foundation for in vivo partial liver engineering in rats, including decellularization and recellularization.

An Automated Method to Perform The In Vitro Micronucleus Assay using Multispectral Imaging Flow Cytometry

The in vitro micronucleus (MN) assay is often used to evaluate cytotoxicity and genotoxicity but scoring the assay via manual microscopy is laborious and introduces uncertainty in results due to variability between scorers. To remedy this, automated slide-scanning microscopy as well as conventional flow cytometry methods have been introduced in an attempt to remove scorer bias and improve throughput. However, these methods have their own inherent limitations such as inability to visualize the cytoplasm of the cell and the lack of visual MN verification or image data storage with flow cytometry. Multispectral Imaging Flow Cytometry (MIFC) has the potential to overcome these limitations. MIFC combines the high resolution fluorescent imagery of microscopy with the statistical robustness and speed of conventional flow cytometry. In addition, all collected imagery can be stored in dose-specific files. This paper describes the protocol developed to perform a fully automated version of the MN assay on MIFC. Human lymphoblastoid TK6 cells were enlarged using a hypotonic solution (75 mM KCl), fixed with 4% formalin and the nuclear content was stained with Hoechst 33342. All samples were run in suspension on the MIFC, permitting acquisition of high resolution images of all key events required for the assay (e.g. binucleated cells with and without MN as well as mononucleated and polynucleated cells). Images were automatically identified, categorized and enumerated in the MIFC data analysis software, allowing for automated scoring of both cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. Results demonstrate that using MIFC to perform the in vitro MN assay allows statistically significant increases in MN frequency to be detected at several different levels of cytotoxicity when compared to solvent controls following exposure of TK6 cells to Mitomycin C and Colchicine, and that no significant increases in MN frequency are observed following exposure to Mannitol.

The in vitro micronucleus assay is a well-established method for evaluating genotoxicity and cytotoxicity but scoring the assay using manual microscopy is laborious and suffers from subjectivity and inter-scorer variability. This paper describes the protocol developed to perform a fully automated version of the assay using multispectral imaging flow cytometry.

In Vitro 3D Cell-Cultured Arterial Models for Studying Vascular Drug Targeting Under Flow

The use of three-dimensional (3D) models of human arteries, which are designed with the correct dimensions and anatomy, enables the proper modeling of various important processes in the cardiovascular system. Recently, although several biological studies have been performed using such 3D models of human arteries, they have not been applied to study vascular targeting. This paper presents a new method to fabricate real-sized, reconstructed human arterial models using a 3D printing technique, line them with human endothelial cells (ECs), and study particle targeting under physiological flow. These models have the advantage of replicating the physiological size and conditions of blood vessels in the human body using low-cost components. This technique may serve as a new platform for studying and understanding drug targeting in the cardiovascular system and may improve the design of new injectable nanomedicines. Moreover, the presented approach may provide significant tools for the study of targeted delivery of different agents for cardiovascular diseases under patient-specific flow and physiological conditions.

A Microphysiological System to Study Leukocyte-Endothelial Cell Interaction during Inflammation

Leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions play an important role in inflammatory diseases such as sepsis. During inflammation, excessive migration of activated leukocytes across the vascular endothelium into key organs can lead to organ failure. A physiologically relevant biomimetic microfluidic assay (bMFA) has been developed and validated using several experimental and computational techniques, which can reproduce the entire leukocyte rolling/adhesion/migration cascade to study leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions. Microvascular networks obtained from in vivo images in rodents were digitized using a Geographic Information System (GIS) approach and microfabricated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) on a microscope slide. To study the effect of shear rate and vascular topology on leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model was developed to generate a corresponding map of shear rates and velocities throughout the network. The bMFA enables the quantification of leukocyte-endothelial cells interactions, including rolling velocity, number of adhered leukocytes in response to different shear rates, number of migrated leukocytes, endothelial cell permeability, adhesion molecule expression and other important variables. Furthermore, by using human-related samples, such as human endothelial cells and leukocytes, bMFA provides a tool for rapid screening of potential therapeutics to increase their clinical translatability.

In this protocol, a biomimetic microfluid assay, which can reproduce a physiologically relevant microvascular environment and reproduce the entire leukocyte adhesion/migration cascade, is employed to study leukocyte-endothelial cell interactions in inflammatory disease.

Time-Resolved In Vivo Measurement of Neuropeptide Dynamics by Capacitive Immunoprobe in Porcine Heart

The ability to measure biomarkers in vivo relevant to the assessment of disease progression is of great interest to the scientific and medical communities. The resolution of results obtained from current methods of measuring certain biomarkers can take several days or weeks to obtain, as they can be limited in resolution both spatially and temporally (e.g., fluid compartment microdialysis of interstitial fluid analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA], high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC], or mass spectrometry); thus, their guidance of timely diagnosis and treatment is disrupted. In the present study, a unique technique for detecting and measuring peptide transmitters in vivo through the use of a capacitive immunoprobe biosensor (CI probe) is reported. The fabrication protocol and in vitro characterization of these probes are described. Measurements of sympathetic stimulation-evoked neuropeptide Y (NPY) release in vivo are provided. NPY release is correlated to the sympathetic release of norepinephrine for reference. The data demonstrate an approach for the fast and localized measurement of neuropeptides in vivo. Future applications include intraoperative real-time assessment of disease progression and minimally invasive catheter-based deployment of these probes.

Time-Resolved In Vivo Measurement of Neuropeptide Dynamics by Capacitive Immunoprobe in Porcine Heart

Established immunochemical methods to measure peptide transmitters in vivo rely on microdialysis or bulk fluid draw to obtain the sample for offline analysis. However, these suffer from spatiotemporal limitations. The present protocol describes the fabrication and application of a capacitive immunoprobe biosensor that overcomes the limitations of the existing techniques.

Automation of the Micronucleus Assay Using Imaging Flow Cytometry and Artificial Intelligence

The micronucleus (MN) assay is used worldwide by regulatory bodies to evaluate chemicals for genetic toxicity. The assay can be performed in two ways: by scoring MN in once-divided, cytokinesis-blocked binucleated cells or fully divided mononucleated cells. Historically, light microscopy has been the gold standard method to score the assay, but it is laborious and subjective. Flow cytometry has been used in recent years to score the assay, but is limited by the inability to visually confirm key aspects of cellular imagery. Imaging flow cytometry (IFC) combines high-throughput image capture and automated image analysis, and has been successfully applied to rapidly acquire imagery of and score all key events in the MN assay. Recently, it has been demonstrated that artificial intelligence (AI) methods based on convolutional neural networks can be used to score MN assay data acquired by IFC. This paper describes all steps to use AI software to create a deep learning model to score all key events and to apply this model to automatically score additional data. Results from the AI deep learning model compare well to manual microscopy, therefore enabling fully automated scoring of the MN assay by combining IFC and AI.

The micronucleus (MN) assay is a well-established test for quantifying DNA damage. However, scoring the assay using conventional techniques such as manual microscopy or feature-based image analysis is laborious and challenging. This paper describes the methodology to develop an artificial intelligence model to score the MN assay using imaging flow cytometry data.
