LysM+单核细胞曾被证明与高血压的发展有牵连5。在这里, 我们表明, LysM 的免疫细胞的+ , 并坚持到内皮层, 以响应 ii 输液。此发现是使用 LysMCre+表意文字+小鼠获得的, 从我们以前的研究中探索免疫细胞在高血压中的作用在体内通过对吖啶橙注射液的可视化白细胞,6,10。因此, 细胞类型的黏附在内皮的歧视是不可能的。
这是一个非常有用的工具的血管研究和体内观察细胞直接在血管, 但注射染料的影响, 在一个外科插入导管的帮助下, 高血压炎症的背景仍然未知。为了评价导管和吖啶橙注射液的潜在作用, 我们利用了 LysMCre+表意文字+鼠标。ii 输液增加了滚动的 LysM+细胞的数量到内皮。插入导管进入颈静脉放大的效果和更多的滚动和粘附白细胞检测 ii 注射小鼠导管与无导管植入的小鼠相比。这表明, 植入颈动脉导管导致全身炎症反应的伤口愈合的情况下覆盖与免疫反应看到的高血压18。此外, 由于颈静脉靠近颈部动脉, 另外的免疫活化可能是通过影响颈静脉而发生的。由于这种作用是不存在的, 当注射直接进入尾部静脉, 我们可以假设, 该效应不是由于染料, 而是插入导管的程序。我们在这里展示了转基因的报告鼠的重要性, 表达荧光蛋白, 以不干涉在体内过程中的实验。此外, 尾部静脉注射荧光示踪剂可能是一个可能的替代静脉导管注射。
该过程的一个关键步骤是 ii 输液。尾袖评估的血压可以作出, 以控制的有效性, ii 交付的泵。2−3天后血压应增加。为了限制可能影响 LysM+细胞活化的炎症, 在植入泵的切口处, 应该用缝合线而不是夹子来做。必须注意的一个限制是尾静脉注射: 为了使最好的数据获取, 4 视频通常是为每一个颈动脉。如果荧光信号下降, 50 µL 吖啶橙注射, 但与尾部注射更难进行多次注射和保持动脉稳定在显微镜下的目标。颈静脉导管存在的持续时间也可能调节免疫细胞的活化作用, 因为它影响了在导管植入后4小时内制备的富含血小板血浆的凝血活化19。这方面的导管植入需要进一步的调查。
最后, 即使我们赞赏颈静脉导管植入对 LysM 的影响, ii 输液后, 我们不能完全估计的准备, 皮肤移除和颈动脉隔离在潜在的 LysM +细胞的作用激活.我们的结论是, 使用荧光报告鼠像 LysMCre 的+表意文字+鼠标建议, 以避免破坏船只的完整性在动物准备为在体内成像。

动脉高血压增加了心血管疾病和死亡的风险, 促进动脉粥样硬化, 冠心病, 动脉或静脉 thromboembolisms 的发展1。高血压的发展取决于环境、遗传、内分泌和血流动力学因素的相互作用。目前, 免疫及相关炎症在高血压病因中起重要作用2。
在免疫细胞, T 淋巴细胞以及单核和巨噬细胞被发现是因果关系的 ii 诱导的血管炎症和高血压, 部分与他们的能力触发活性氧的物种3。巨噬细胞集落刺激因子缺乏小鼠表现出减少对 ii 的反应血压升高和血管炎症4。在以前的工作中, 我们可以证明 LysM + 单核细胞驱动血管功能障碍和炎症的 ii 诱发高血压5。最近, 我们描述了一个新的途径, 凝血因子 XI 配合血小板和血管壁诱导凝血酶依赖性血管炎症6。目前有关免疫系统在高血压中的作用的知识最近总结和回顾了罗德里格斯-Iturbe et al。7
由于免疫细胞参与高血压的发展变得明显, 研究血管与免疫细胞相互作用的模型和技术成为必要。荧光的血管综合病是一个有用的工具, 观察体内循环血细胞和内皮之间的相互作用,8,9,10。用这种技术, 注射染料插与脱氧核糖核酸 (例如吖啶橙色) 能形象化有核的细胞 (循环和从内皮)。在动脉或静脉损伤模型中, 可以注入 rhodamin-6G 或ˊ (现金流量) 的分离血小板, 以显示血小板丰富的血栓. 
通常, 颈静脉导管用于注射示踪剂或标记血小板。改变内皮和随后活化的凝血叶栅都知道有影响单核细胞活化。内皮损伤立即导致血小板活化通过内基质分子密封的组织, 随之而来的单核细胞吸引和激活11。相反, 一个完整的内皮细胞是已知的抗凝血特性 (例如,通过组织因子途径抑制剂或血栓调节蛋白)12和直接抑制作用的单核,例如, 通过分泌胞外囊泡含有 rna13。单核细胞是已知的产生组织因子, 外源性的凝血级联和表达蛋白酶活化受体 (部), 可以激活凝血酶和参与单核激活14,15.因此, 任何血小板活化或由于血管损伤引起的凝血级联, 可能对单核细胞活化产生意想不到的影响, 并干扰观察到的现象。在表意文字转基因 LysM 转基因小鼠的帮助下, 一个 double-fluorescent 的报告鼠 (LysMCre+表意文字+), 我们建议详细研究注射用导管的效果和替代方法在 LysM+粒细胞在小鼠动脉高血压模型中的作用16。

visualizing leukocyte rolling and adhesion in angiotensin ii-infused mice: techniques and pitfalls

荧光活体视频显微镜 (综合防治) 的血管是一个既定的方法来评估免疫细胞的活化作用和他们的能力, 并坚持内皮层。通常使用荧光染料或荧光偶联抗体的注入来可视化循环细胞。另外, 还可以使用荧光报告小鼠。白细胞的相互作用, 特别是溶菌酶 M+ (LysM+) 单核分子, 血管壁在促进血管功能障碍和动脉高血压方面起着举足轻重的作用。我们在这里提出的技术, 以可视化和量化白细胞轧制和粘附在血管紧张素 II (ii) 诱导高血压的小鼠通过综合防治。
导管的植入会损害血管壁, 导致改变的血细胞反应。我们比较了不同的注射技术和管理路线, 以形象化的白细胞在一个 LysMCre 的+表意文字+小鼠广泛表达红色荧光蛋白和绿色荧光蛋白的条件表达在 LysM+单元格。为了研究 LysM 的+细胞活化, 我们使用了 ii 灌注小鼠, 其中白细胞的滚动和粘附增加到内皮。我们要么通过静脉导管注射吖啶橙, 要么直接通过尾静脉, 比较滚动和黏附细胞的数量。我们发现, 颈静脉导管植入本身增加了在假灌输的 LysMCre+表意文字+小鼠与对照组相比滚动和黏附 LysM+细胞的数量。这种活化作用增强了 ii 的小鼠。有趣的是, 直接通过尾静脉注射吖啶橙并没有增加 LysM 的+细胞粘附或在假灌注小鼠中的滚动。因此, 我们证明了转基因小鼠表达荧光蛋白在实验过程中不干扰体内过程的重要性。此外, 尾部静脉注射荧光示踪剂可能是一个可能的替代静脉导管注射。

动脉的 LysMCre+表意文字的+小鼠注入 ii 的观察使用了综合病媒。用颈静脉导管注射吖啶橙。我们的目的是观察与血管壁接触的 LysM+细胞与所有有核循环细胞的比例 (这也可能与血管相互作用, 因为细胞类型与血管相互作用的区别仍然是一个开放我们以前的工作的问题)。在基线情况下, 颈静脉导管的出现会导致 LysM 的+细胞 (图 2A, D) 的粘连。吖啶橙注射液后, 相同的细胞是荧光的, 而且内皮细胞是荧光的 (图 2B, E)。在减少内皮相关荧光的背景下, 数据表明所有有核的黏附细胞是 LysM 的+ (图 2C, F);这些结果在 ii 输液确认我们以前的结果并证明 LysMCre 的+表意文字+是观察 ii 对 LysM+单元激活的影响的好模型后才成立。
在 LysMCre+表意文字+中, 我们评估了吖啶橙在 ii 输液后的 LysM+细胞活化中的作用。在一周的 ii 输液后, LysMCre+表意文字、+小鼠颈动脉内的白细胞内皮相互作用通过经颈静脉导管或通过尾静脉的吖啶橙注射液进行影像和可视化。没有任何导管或注射, LysM 的滚动的+细胞是显着增加后, ii 输液相比, 未经处理的小鼠, 和粘连显示增加 (图 3)。注射吖啶橙与颈静脉导管增加了 ii 治疗小鼠的黏附力和滚动, 更大程度上与没有导管的小鼠相比 (图 3)。与未接受吖啶橙注射液的小鼠相比, 尾静脉注射吖啶橙会导致类似的粘连和轧制 (图 3)。

Imaging Leukocyte Adhesion to the Vascular Endothelium at High Intraluminal Pressure

Worldwide, hypertension is reported to be in approximately a quarter of the population and is the leading biomedical risk factor for mortality worldwide. In the vasculature hypertension is associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased inflammation leading to atherosclerosis and various disease states such as chronic kidney disease2, stroke3 and heart failure4. An initial step in vascular inflammation leading to atherogenesis is the adhesion cascade which involves the rolling, tethering, adherence and subsequent transmigration of leukocytes through the endothelium. Recruitment and accumulation of leukocytes to the endothelium is mediated by an upregulation of adhesion molecules such as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intracellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and E-selectin as well as increases in cytokine and chemokine release and an upregulation of reactive oxygen species5. In vitro methods such as static adhesion assays help to determine mechanisms involved in cell-to-cell adhesion as well as the analysis of cell adhesion molecules. Methods employed in previous in vitro studies have demonstrated that acute increases in pressure on the endothelium can lead to monocyte adhesion, an upregulation of adhesion molecules and inflammatory markers6 however, similar to many in vitro assays, these findings have not been performed in real time under physiological flow conditions, nor with whole blood. Therefore, in vivo assays are increasingly utilised in animal models to demonstrate vascular inflammation and plaque development. Intravital microscopy is now widely used to assess leukocyte adhesion, rolling, migration and transmigration7-9. When combining the effects of pressure on leukocyte to endothelial adhesion the in vivo studies are less extensive. One such study examines the real time effects of flow and shear on arterial growth and remodelling but inflammatory markers were only assessed via immunohistochemistry10. Here we present a model for recording leukocyte adhesion in real time in intact pressurised blood vessels using whole blood perfusion. The methodology is a modification of an ex vivo vessel chamber perfusion model9 which enables real-time analysis of leukocyte -endothelial adhesive interactions in intact vessels. Our modification enables the manipulation of the intraluminal pressure up to 200 mmHg allowing for study not only under physiological flow conditions but also pressure conditions. While pressure myography systems have been previously demonstrated to observe vessel wall and lumen diameter11 as well as vessel contraction this is the first time demonstrating leukocyte-endothelial interactions in real time. Here we demonstrate the technique using carotid arteries harvested from rats and cannulated to a custom-made flow chamber coupled to a fluorescent microscope. The vessel chamber is equipped with a large bottom coverglass allowing a large diameter objective lens with short working distance to image the vessel. Furthermore, selected agonist and/or antagonists can be utilized to further investigate the mechanisms controlling cell adhesion. Advantages of this method over intravital microscopy include no involvement of invasive surgery and therefore a higher throughput can be obtained. This method also enables the use of localised inhibitor treatment to the desired vessel whereas intravital only enables systemic inhibitor treatment.

This is a method to visualise leukocyte adhesion to the endothelium in harvested pressurised vessels. The technique enables studying vascular adhesion under shear flow with differing intraluminal pressures up to 200 mmHg thus mimic-ing the pathophysiological conditions of high blood pressure.

A Flow Adhesion Assay to Study Leucocyte Recruitment to Human Hepatic Sinusoidal Endothelium Under Conditions of Shear Stress

Leucocyte infiltration into human liver tissue is a common process in all adult inflammatory liver diseases. Chronic infiltration can drive the development of fibrosis and progression to cirrhosis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that mediate leucocyte recruitment to the liver could identify important therapeutic targets for liver disease. The key interaction during leucocyte recruitment is that of inflammatory cells with endothelium under conditions of shear stress. Recruitment to the liver occurs within the low shear channels of the hepatic sinusoids which are lined by hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells (HSEC). The conditions within the hepatic sinusoids can be recapitulated by perfusing leucocytes through channels lined by human HSEC monolayers at specific flow rates. In these conditions leucocytes undergo a brief tethering step followed by activation and firm adhesion, followed by a crawling step and subsequent transmigration across the endothelial layer. Using phase contrast microscopy, each step of this &#39;adhesion cascade&#39; can be visualized and recorded followed by offline analysis. Endothelial cells or leucocytes can be pretreated with inhibitors to determine the role of specific molecules during this process.

Leucocyte recruitment to the liver occurs within the specialized channels of the hepatic sinusoids which are lined by unique hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells. Phase contrast microscopy of leucocyte recruitment across human hepatic sinusoidal endothelium under conditions of physiological shear stress can facilitate the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms which underlie this process.

Intravital Microscopy of Leukocyte-endothelial and Platelet-leukocyte Interactions in Mesenterial Veins in Mice

Intravital microscopy is a method that can be used to investigate different processes in different regions and vessels in living animals. In this protocol, we describe intravital microscopy of mesentery veins. This can be performed in a short period of time with reproducible results showing leukocyte-endothelial interactions in vivo. We describe an inflammatory setting after LPS challenge of the endothelium. But in this model one can apply many different types of inflammatory conditions, like bacterial, chemical or biological and investigate the administration of drugs and their direct effects on the living animal and its impact on leukocyte recruitment. This protocol has been applied successfully to a number of different treatments of mice and their effects on inflammatory response in vessels. Herein, we describe the visualization of leukocytes and platelets by fluorescently labeling these with rhodamine 6G. Additionally, any specific imaging can be performed using targeted fluorescently labeled molecules.

This simplified application of intravital microscopy of mesentery veins in mice can be used in different models of inflammation to observe leukocyte-endothelial and platelet-leukocyte interactions.

Imaging Neutrophils and Monocytes in Mesenteric Veins by Intravital Microscopy on Anaesthetized Mice in Real Time

Efficient immune response is dependent on rapid mobilization of blood leukocytes to the site of infection or injury. Investigating leukocyte migration in vivo is crucial for understanding the molecular basis of leukocyte transendothelial migration and interaction with vascular endothelium. One powerful approach involves intravital microscopy on transgenic mice expressing fluorescent proteins in cells of interest.
Here we present a protocol for imaging monocytes and neutrophils in the CX3CR1gfp/wt mouse i.v. injected with orange dye-labeled neutrophils with an inverted confocal microscope. Time-lapse movies gathered from 30 min&#160;to several hours of imaging allow the analysis of leukocyte behavior in mesenteric veins under both steady state and inflammatory conditions. We also describe the steps to locally induce blood vessel inflammation with TLR2/TLR1 agonist Pam3SK4 and monitor the subsequent recruitment of neutrophils and monocytes.
The presented technique can also be used to monitor other populations of leukocytes and investigate molecules implicated in leukocyte recruitment or trafficking using other stimuli or transgenic mice.

We detail a protocol to monitor the behavior of neutrophils and monocytes in mesenteric veins under steady state and inflammatory conditions using intravital confocal microscopy on anaesthetized mice.

Laminar Flow-based Assays to Investigate Leukocyte Recruitment on Cultured Vascular Cells and Adherent Platelets

The recruitment of leukocytes upon injury or inflammation to sites of injury or tissue damage has been investigated during recent decades and has resulted in the concept of the leukocyte adhesion cascade. However, the exact molecular mechanisms involved in leukocyte recruitment have not yet been fully identified. Since leukocyte recruitment remains an important subject in the field of infection, inflammation, and (auto-) immune research, we present a straightforward laminar flow-based assay to study underlying mechanisms of the adhesion, de-adhesion, and transmigration of leukocytes under venous and arterial flow regimes. The in vitro assay can be used to study the molecular mechanisms that underlie the interactions between leukocytes and their cellular partners in different models of vascular inflammation. This protocol describes a laminar flow-based assay using a parallel-flow chamber and an inverted phase contrast microscope connected to a camera to study the interactions of leukocytes and endothelial cells or platelets, which can be visualized and recorded then analyzed offline. Endothelial cells, platelets, or leukocytes can be pretreated with inhibitors or antibodies to determine the role of specific molecules during this process. Shear conditions, i.e. arterial or venous shear stress, can be easily adapted by the viscosity and flow rate of the perfused fluids and the height of the channel.

Leukocytes avidly interact with vascular cells and platelets after vessel wall injury or during inflammation. Here, we describe a straightforward laminar flow-based assay to characterize the molecular mechanisms that underlie the interactions between leukocytes and their cellular partners.

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.

Leukocyte Infiltration of Cremaster Muscle in Mice Assessed by Intravital Microscopy

Intravital microscopy (IVM) is widely used to monitor physiological and pathophysiological processes within the leukocyte recruitment cascade in vivo. The current protocol represents a practical and reproducible method to visualize the leukocyte endothelium interaction leading to leukocyte recruitment in skeletal muscle derived tissue within the intact organism of the mouse. The model is applicable to all fields of research that focus on granulocyte activation and their role in disease.
We provide a step by step protocol to guide through the method and to highlight potential pitfalls and technical difficulties. The protocol covers the following aspects: experimental settings and required material, anesthesia of the mouse, dissection of the cremaster muscle as well as tracheal and carotid cannulation, IVM recordings and offline analysis. Data formats like adherent leukocytes, rolling flux (RF) and rolling flux fraction (RFF) are explained in detail and appropriate applications are discussed. Representative results from dystrophin deficient mdx mice are provided in the results section.
IVM is a powerful tool to assess leukocyte recruitment in an in vivo setting; however, delineating for example endothelial and leukocyte function may require a combination with ex vivo setups like flow chamber experiments. Furthermore, the genetic background of animals of interest may greatly influence baseline recruitment, requiring individual fine tuning of the protocol provided. Despite its limitations, IVM may serve as a platform to readily translate in vitro findings into a living vertebrate organism.

Here, we show how to perform intravital microscopy on post-capillary venules of the mouse cremaster muscle. Commonly applied to different models of inflammation and sepsis, particularly those induced by chemokines and cytokines, we highlight its relevance in the study of muscolopathies involving exaggerated muscular leukocyte infiltration.

Imaging Molecular Adhesion in Cell Rolling by Adhesion Footprint Assay

Rolling adhesion, facilitated by selectin-mediated interactions, is a highly dynamic, passive motility in recruiting leukocytes to the site of inflammation. This phenomenon occurs in postcapillary venules, where blood flow pushes leukocytes in a rolling motion on the endothelial cells. Stable rolling requires a delicate balance between adhesion bond formation and their mechanically-driven dissociation, allowing the cell to remain attached to the surface while rolling in the direction of flow. Unlike other adhesion processes occurring in relatively static environments, rolling adhesion is highly dynamic as the rolling cells travel over thousands of microns at tens of microns per second. Consequently, conventional mechanobiology methods such as traction force microscopy are unsuitable for measuring the individual adhesion events and the associated molecular forces due to the short timescale and high sensitivity required. Here, we describe our latest implementation of the adhesion footprint assay to image the P-selectin: PSGL-1 interactions in rolling adhesion at the molecular level. This method utilizes irreversible DNA-based tension gauge tethers to produce a permanent history of molecular adhesion events in the form of fluorescence tracks. These tracks can be imaged in two ways: (1) stitching together thousands of diffraction-limited images to produce a large field of view, enabling the extraction of adhesion footprint of each rolling cell over thousands of microns in length, (2) performing DNA-PAINT to reconstruct super-resolution images of the fluorescence tracks within a small field of view. In this study, the adhesion footprint assay was used to study HL-60 cells rolling at different shear stresses. In doing so, we were able to image the spatial distribution of the P-selectin: PSGL-1 interaction and gain insight into their molecular forces through fluorescence intensity. Thus, this method provides the groundwork for the quantitative investigation of the various cell-surface interactions involved in rolling adhesion at the molecular level.

This protocol presents the experimental procedures to perform the adhesion footprint assay to image the adhesion events during fast cell rolling adhesion.

Quantification of Diabetes-induced Adherent Leukocytes in Retinal Vasculature

Leukostasis refers to the attachment of leukocytes to the luminal wall of the vasculature. This interaction of leukocytes with the wall of blood vessels is characteristic of inflammation and has been causally linked to capillary occlusion in a variety of tissues and diseases, including diabetic retinopathy. 
Leukostasis has been reported for years as a life-threatening complication of hyperleukocytosis and can only be diagnosed clinically. Given the importance of the phenomenon, intensive research has been done to understand the potential mechanism(s) that lead to its manifestation; however, there is no gold-standard technique in laboratory settings to visualize and quantify the severity of the event.
In the method summarized below, the vasculature is initially perfused with a buffer to remove blood, and then, concanavalin A is perfused into the vasculature where it binds to all exposed cell walls and causes especially bright staining of leukocytes. If the perfusion to remove all unbound blood cells was successful, the remaining fluorescently labeled leukocytes are bound to the vasculature, and they can be manually quantified using any available fluorescence microscope.

We demonstrate a method to label the walls of the retinal vasculature and adherent leukocytes. These adherent leukocytes can then be counted under a fluorescence microscope as a parameter of inflammation or the response of that inflammation to therapies.
