El protocolo que se describe en este informe para una verdadera cuantificación 3D de Aß fagocitosis in vivo por los fagocitos mononucleares se basa en el etiquetado específico de los compartimentos celulares y subcelulares, así como los depósitos de Aß. Específicamente, usamos Iba1 (ionizada-calcio Encuadernación adaptador molécula 1), una proteína que está implicada en ruffling membrana y la fagocitosis tras la activación de células 18, 19, para teñir los fagocito...

La enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA), la demencia más común relacionada con la edad 1, se caracteriza por la acumulación de amiloide cerebral-β (Aß) en forma de placas &quot;seniles&quot; ß-amiloide, la neuroinflamación crónica de bajo nivel, taupatía, pérdida neuronal y alteraciones cognitivas 2 . En los cerebros de pacientes con AD, la neuroinflamación se destina por los astrocitos y los fagocitos mononucleares reactiva (referida como microglia, aunque sus centrales vs. origen periférico sigue siendo poco clara) que rodea los depósitos de Aß 3. Como los centinelas inmunes innatas del CNS, microglia se posicionan centralmente para borrar cerebro Aß. Sin embargo, el reclutamiento microglial a las placas de Aß se acompaña de muy poca, o ninguna, la fagocitosis Aß 4,5. Una hipótesis es que la microglía son inicialmente neuroprotector por phagocytozing pequeños montajes de Aß. Sin embargo, con el tiempo estas células se convierten neurotóxico tan abrumadora carga de Aß y / o relacionada con la edad d funcionalecline, provoca la microglía en un fenotipo proinflamatorio disfuncional, lo que contribuye a la neurotoxicidad y la disminución cognitiva 6. Los estudios de asociación de genoma completo (GWAS recientes) han identificado un grupo de alelos de riesgo de AD que pertenecen al núcleo vías inmune innata que modulan la fagocitosis 7 8-11. En consecuencia, la respuesta inmune a la deposición de amiloide cerebral se ha convertido en una importante área de interés, tanto en términos de la comprensión de la etiología de AD y para el desarrollo de nuevos enfoques terapéuticos 12-14. Sin embargo, hay una necesidad vital de la metodología para evaluar la fagocitosis Aß in vivo. Para hacer frente a esta necesidad no satisfecha, hemos desarrollado 3D cuantitativa en el modelado in silico (q3DISM) para permitir la cuantificación real en 3D de la fagocitosis cerebral Aß por los fagocitos mononucleares en modelos de roedores de la enfermedad de Alzheimer similar. Limitada sólo por el grado en que recapitular la enfermedad, los modelos animales tienensido de gran ayuda para la comprensión de pathoetiology AD y para la evaluación terapéutica experimental. Debido al hecho de que las mutaciones en los genes presenilina (PS) y la proteína amiloide Precursor (APP) causan independientemente AD autosómica dominante, estos transgenes mutantes se han utilizado ampliamente para generar modelos de roedores transgénicos. Los ratones transgénicos APP / PS1 co-expresar de forma simultánea &quot;sueca&quot; APP mutante humana (SWE APP) y Δ exón 9 presenilina humana mutante 1 (PS1ΔE9) presentes con amiloidosis cerebral acelerada y la neuroinflamación 15,16. Además, hemos generado ratones bi-transgénico coinjected con APP SWE y construcciones PS1ΔE9 (línea TgF344-AD, sobre un fondo Fischer 344). A diferencia de modelos de ratones transgénicos de amiloidosis cerebral, ratas TgF344-AD desarrollan amiloide cerebral que precede taupatía, pérdida de apoptosis de las neuronas, y el deterioro del comportamiento 17. En este informe, se describe un protocolo para la immunostaining microglia, fagolisosomas y depósitos de Aß en secciones cerebrales de ratones APP / PS1 y ratas TgF344-AD, y la adquisición de grandes imágenes confocal z-dimensional. Nos detalle en la generación y análisis de las verdaderas reconstrucciones 3D a partir de conjuntos de datos confocal que permite la cuantificación de la captación de Aß en fagolisosomas microgliales silico. En términos más generales, la metodología que detallamos aquí se puede utilizar para cuantificar prácticamente cualquier forma de fagocitosis in vivo.

quantitative 3d in silico modeling (q3dism) of cerebral amyloid-beta phagocytosis in rodent models of alzheimer's disease

Neuroinflamación es ahora reconocida como un factor etiológico importante en la enfermedad neurodegenerativa. fagocitos mononucleares son células inmunes innatas responsables de la fagocitosis y la eliminación de escombros y detritus. Estas células incluyen macrófagos residentes del SNC conocidas como microglia y fagocitos mononucleares infiltrantes de la periferia. Microscopía de luz en general se ha utilizado para visualizar la fagocitosis en roedores o muestras de cerebro humano. Sin embargo, los métodos cualitativos no han proporcionado pruebas definitivas de la fagocitosis in vivo. A continuación, describimos 3D cuantitativa en el modelado in silico (q3DISM), un método robusto que permite la cuantificación verdadera 3D de amiloide-β fagocitosis (Aß) por los fagocitos mononucleares en modelos de roedores de la enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA). El método implica la visualización de fluorescencia Aß encapsulado dentro fagolisosomas en secciones del cerebro de roedores. Grandes conjuntos de datos confocal z dimensiones son entonces reconstruidos en 3D para la cuantificación de A &amp;# 946; espacialmente colocalized dentro del fagolisosoma. Se demuestra la aplicación exitosa de q3DISM de cerebros de ratones y ratas, pero esta metodología se puede extender a prácticamente cualquier evento de fagocitosis en cualquier tejido.

Utilizando la metodología de múltiples etapas para q3DISM se ha detallado anteriormente, somos capaces de cuantificar la absorción de Aß en fagolisosomas monocitos en los cerebros de APP / PS1 ratones (Figura 1) y ratas TgF344-AD (Figura 2). Por lo tanto, la metodología q3DISM ha permitido el análisis de los fagocitos mononucleares en ratón y rata modelos de AD. Curiosamente, el volumen ocupado por CD68 + fagolisosomas es significativam...
