<html> Wij hebben hierin een fagocytose-bepaling beschreven met behulp van Drosophila embryo&#39;s. Door gebruik te maken van gedispergeerde embryonale cellen om kwagocytose te kwantitatief te meten, zijn hemocyten, professionele profiocyten van Drosophila immunostained voor de hemocytmarker Croquemort of srpHemo- gedreven GFP, en in dit protocol worden apoptotische cellen gedetecteerd door TUNEL.

Bij metazoandieren, bijvoorbeeld de nematode Caenorhabditis elegans , de vruchtvlieg Drosophila melanogaster en muizen en mensen, ondergaan een groot aantal cellen apoptose tijdens de ontwikkeling om hun lichaam en volwassenheid te vormen om homeostase 1 , 2 te behouden . Apoptotische cellen moeten snel verwijderd worden omdat ze ontsteking in de omringende weefsels veroorzaken door immunogene intracellulaire materialen vrij te laten indien niet volledig verwijderd 3 . Om de snelle verwijdering te vergemakkelijken, presenteren apoptotische cellen zogenaamde Eat-Me signalen die door de ontvulingsreceptoren van fagocyten worden herkend en worden geëlimineerd door fagocytose 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 . Derhalve speelt fagocytose een cruciale rol in het behoud van gastheerhomeostase, en dus de molecuul verhelderen<html> Mechanismen die onderliggende zijn aan de fagocytose van apoptotische cellen is van belang. De mechanismen die verantwoordelijk zijn voor de fagocytose van apoptotische cellen lijken evolutionair te behouden onder species in de nematoden, vliegen en muizen 7 . Verschillende fagocytose assays zijn momenteel beschikbaar om de opvulling van apoptotische cellen in deze modeldieren te beoordelen. In C. elegans ondergaan 131 somatische cellen geprogrammeerde celsterfte tijdens de ontwikkeling, en cellichamen worden gefagocytoseerd door naburige cellen, die niet-professionele fagocyten zijn 8 . Dus, het aantal resterende cellichamen in C. elegans telt het niveau van fagocytose in vivo . Door te zoeken naar nematode mutanten die een verhoogd aantal dode cellen aantonen, zijn verschillende genen die nodig zijn voor fagocytose geïdentificeerd en genetisch gekenmerkt 9 , 10 ,S = &quot;xref&quot;&gt; 11 , 12 . Ex vivo fagocytose assays met primaire cultuur fagocyten, in het algemeen macrofagen, worden vaak in muizen gebruikt. Apoptotische cellen worden bereid met behulp van cellijnen zoals Jurkat-cellen, en worden gemengd met primaire fagocyten. Na een incubatie gedurende enkele uren worden de totale aantallen fagocyten en ontvlamende fagocyten geteld om het niveau van fagocytose te beoordelen. Als een verfijnde wijziging van deze methode ontwikkelde Nagata&#39;s groep een ex vivo fagocytose-analyse met cellen die een caspase-resistente ICAD (inhibitor van caspase-geactiveerde DNase) uitdrukken, waarbij apoptotische cellen geen apoptotische DNA-fragmentatie ondergaan, maar DNA wordt nog steeds gesplitst wanneer Cellen zijn gefagocytoseerd. Wanneer deze cellen worden gebruikt als apoptotische doelen in een fagocytose-analyse, is alleen het DNA van opgezwakte apoptotische cellen gefragmenteerd en gekleurd door TdT-gemedieerde DUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). Daarom leve1 van apoptotische celvergisting wordt gemeten door TUNEL signalen in een mengsel van fagocyten en apoptotische cellen 13 te tellen. In D. melanogaster zijn professionele fagocyten genaamd hemocyten, Drosophila macrofagen, verantwoordelijk voor de fagocytose van apoptotische cellen 14 , 15 . Naast in vitro phagocytose assays met cultuurcellijnen, zijn in vivo phagocytose assays met hele Drosophila embryo&#39;s beschikbaar. Drosophila embryo&#39;s zijn een krachtig hulpmiddel om het niveau van apoptotische celvervulling te onderzoeken omdat veel cellen apoptose ondergaan en gefagocytoseerd worden door hemocyten tijdens embryonale ontwikkeling 14 , 15 , 16 . Een voorbeeld van een in vivo fagocytose assay is de methode ontwikkeld door Franc&#39;s groep. In hun werkwijze zijn hemocyten deGetekend door het immunostaining van peroxidasine, een hemocytmarkering, worden apoptotische cellen gekleurd met behulp van de nucleaire kleurstof, 7-aminoactinomycine D in hele Drosophila embryo&#39;s en het aantal dubbele positieve cellen wordt geteld als een signaal van fagocytose 17 . Een ander voorbeeld van een fagocytose-bepaling op embryo&#39;s is gebaseerd op het concept van Nagata&#39;s methode die hierboven is beschreven; In vivo wordt fagocytose echter geëvalueerd met behulp van de embryo&#39;s van dCAD ( Drosophila caspase-geactiveerde DNase) mutante vliegen 18 , 19 . Deze in vivo fagocytose assays zijn bruikbaar voor het direct observeren van fagocytose in situ . Echter, problemen zijn geassocieerd met het uitsluiten van eventuele vooroordeel in de stap van het telgen van fagocytosecellen omdat het moeilijk is om alle fagocyten en apoptotische cellen in volledige embryo&#39;s te observeren vanwege de dikte ervan. Om deze beperking te overwinnen ontwikkelen wijEen nieuwe fagocytose-analyse in Drosophila embryo&#39;s uitgegeven. In onze werkwijze, om gemakkelijk fagocytoserende hemocyten te tellen, worden gehele embryo&#39;s gehomogeniseerd om verspreide embryonale cellen te bereiden. Fagocyten worden gedetecteerd door het immunostaining van een fagocyt markering, en apoptotische cellen worden gedetecteerd door TUNEL met deze gedispergeerde embryonale cellen. Het gebruik van gedispergeerde embryonale cellen stelt ons in staat om in vivo fagocytose niveaus te meten alsof we een in vitro fagocytose-analyse uitvoeren die precies het niveau van fagocytose kwantificeert. Alle genotypes van vliegen kunnen in deze test worden gebruikt als ze zich ontwikkelen tot stadium 16 van embryo&#39;s 20 , de ontwikkelingsfase waarbij apoptotische celklaring door fagocytose het meest voorkomend is. Deze werkwijze heeft het voordeel om het niveau van fagocytose kwantitatief te beoordelen en kan derhalve bijdragen aan de identificatie van nieuwe moleculen die betrokken zijn bij de fagocytose van apoptotische cellen in vivo .

phagocytosis assay for apoptotic cells in drosophila embryos

De moleculaire mechanismen die ten grondslag liggen aan de fagocytose van apoptotische cellen moeten meer gedetailleerd worden toegelicht wegens de rol ervan in immuun- en ontstekingsrechterlijke ziektes. We hebben hierin een experimentele methode ontwikkeld om kwagocytose kwantitatief te onderzoeken met behulp van de vruchtvlieg Drosophila , waarbij het genenetwerk dat de ontvulingsreacties beheert evolutionair wordt bewaard van zoogdieren. Om nauwkeurig op te sporen en te counteren van phagocyten met behulp van hele dieren, werden Drosophila embryo&#39;s gehomogeniseerd om gedispergeerde cellen te verkrijgen, waaronder fagocyten en apoptotische cellen. Het gebruik van gedispergeerde embryonale cellen stelt ons in staat om in vivo fagocytose niveaus te meten alsof we een in vitro fagocytose-analyse uitvoerden waarin alle fagocyten en apoptotische cellen in hele embryo&#39;s kunnen worden waargenomen en het niveau van fagocytose nauwkeurig kwantificeren. We hebben bevestigd dat deze methode die van vorige studies weergeeftDie de genen die nodig zijn voor de fagocytose van apoptotische cellen geïdentificeerd. Deze methode maakt het mogelijk om de ontploffing van dode cellen te analyseren en zal, in combinatie met de krachtige genetica van Drosophila , de complexe fagocytische reacties onthullen die bestaan ​​uit de migratie, herkenning, verzwelling en afbraak van apoptotische cellen door fagocyten.

Om de fagocytose van apoptotische cellen te onderzoeken werden Drosophila embryo&#39;s van ontwikkelingsstadium 16 verzameld en bereid als gedispergeerde cellen. Hemocytes, Drosophila macrofagen, werden gekleurd door immunocytochemie voor hemocyte marker &quot;Croquemort&quot; 17, 22 met behulp van een specifiek antilichaam 19, 21 en apoptotische cellen ...

Phagocytosis Assay for Apoptotic Cells in Drosophila Embryos

Hierin beschrijven we een fagocytose assay met behulp van de gedispergeerde embryonale cellen van Drosophila . Het stelt ons in staat om in vivo fagocytose niveaus eenvoudig en nauwkeurig te kwantificeren en nieuwe moleculen te identificeren die nodig zijn voor de fagocytose van apoptotische cellen.

Fagocytose Assay voor Apoptotische Cellen in<em&gt; Drosophila</em&gt; Embryo&#39;s

The molecular mechanisms underlying the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells need to be elucidated in more detail because of its role in immune and ...

The overall goal of this procedure is to measure in vivo phagocytosis in Drosophila to assess the involvement of specific genes of interest in apoptotic cell engulfment. This method can help answer key questions in the immunology and developmental biology fields about the mechanisms involved in apoptotic cell engulfment. The main advantage of this technique is that the cells can be used easily and precisely measured in vivo phagocytosis levels.The implication of this technique extend toward therapy of inflammatory disorders and autoimmune disease as apoptotic cell by phagocytosis is necessary for removing dangerous cells that cause inflammation. Begin by adding 200 adult female and 200 adult male fruit flies and a plate of fresh grape juice agar on yeast into a 50 milliliter conical tube. Close the tube with a sponge cap and incubate the flies in the light at 16 degrees Celsius for two to three days.At the end of the incubation, move the flies to 25 degrees Celsius in the dark for one hour and replace the old plate with a new plate without yeast. Allow the flies to lay eggs for two hours. Then incubate the plate at 16 degrees Celsius for 26 hours.The next day, use a paint brush to transfer the embryos into one milliliter of PBS supplemented with 0.2%Triton X-100. After two washes, add 1.2 milliliters of sodium hypochlorite solution to the embryos to remove the chorion. After three minutes, wash the embryos four times in fresh PBS plus Triton X-100.Transfer the washed embryos onto a six centimeter agarose plate and place the plate under a dissecting microscope. Identify stage 16 embryos using a micro tip. Use a micro pipette to transfer approximately 50 of the stage 16 embryos into a 1.5 milliliter micro test tube.To isolate the embryonic cells, first wash the embryos two times with 150 microliters of PBS. Transfer the embryos into a new 1.5 milliliter micro test tube. Then add 200 microliters of collagenase and homogenize the embryos 30 times with a pellet mixer.At the end of the homogenization, triturate the embryonic cells 10 times and transfer the cell suspension into a new 1.5 milliliter tube. Incubate the cells at 37 degrees Celsius for one minute. Then triturate the cells 10 more times and return them to the 37 degrees Celsius incubator for another minute.At the end of the second incubation, add 800 microliters of PBS to the cells and collect the cells by centrifugation. Resuspend the pellet in 200 microliters of Trypsin before filtering the cell suspension through a 70 micron cell strainer. Stop the enzymatic activity with 40 microliters of heat inactivated fetal bovine serum in 800 microliters of PBS and collect the cells by centrifugation.Resuspend the precipitated cells in 200 microliters of fresh PBS and collect the cells with another centrifugation. Resuspend the pellet in 30 microliters of PBS and mount the cells onto an aminopropyltriethoxysilane-coated glass slide. When the cells have attached, use a pipette to remove the excess PBS from the slide and fix the cells with 60 to 70 microliters of 4%paraformaldehyde.After 10 to 15 minutes, remove the fixative and wash the cells in PBS for one minute. To immunostain the cells with anti-Croquemort antibody, first serially soak the slide in methanol then PBS supplemented with 0.2%Triton X-100 followed by PBS alone. Next, block the nonspecific binding with 20 microliters of 5%whole swine serum in PBS plus 0.2%Triton X-100 for 20 minutes at room temperature.Remove the excess blocking solution and label the cells with 20 microliters of anti-Croquemort antiserum at four degrees Celsius overnight. The next morning, wash the slide in PBS plus Triton X-100 for five 10-minute incubations. After the last wash, rinse the slide in PBS for 10 minutes.Then label the cells with 20 microliters of alkaline phosphatase-labeled Anti-Rat IgG at room temperature for one hour. At the end of the incubation, wash the slide five times in PBS plus Triton X-100 as demonstrated followed by a 10-minute soak in buffer solution. Then label the cells with phosphatase substrate solution and observe the cells under a light microscope.When strong purple signals appear in the hemocyte granules, remove the excess substrate and soak the slide in buffer supplemented with EDTA for five to 10 minutes. At the end of the incubation, rinse the cells with two five-minute PBS washes and treat them with equilibration buffer for 10 minutes. After removing the solution, label the cells with 20 microliters of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase solution at 37 degrees Celsius for one hour.Then remove the solution from the slide and soak the cells in 0.5 milliliters stop wash buffer in 17 milliliters of water for 10 minutes. Next, rinse the cells with three five-minute PBS washes and label them with 20 microliters of anti-digoxigenin peroxidase for 30 minutes at room temperature. At the end of the incubation, wash the cells four times in PBS as demonstrated and soak the slide in peroxidase substrate for 30-second increments until the apoptotic cells turn brown.When an optimal staining has been achieved, soak the slide in water to stop the peroxidase reaction. In these images, Drosophila macrophages called hemocytes were stained for the hemocyte marker Croquemort and for the presence of phagocytosed apoptotic cells by TUNEL in dispersed embryonic cells as just demonstrated. Croquemort positive cells exhibit purple signals in the small granules of their cells while TUNEL positive cells demonstrated brown signal in their whole corpuses.Alternatively, hemocytes can be stained with an anti-GFP antibody which stains the entire hemocyte instead of just the granules. In this experiment, the ratio of phagocytosing hemocytes to total hemocytes in wild type or single mutant embryos was analyzed, demonstrating that the phagocytic index was lower in both single mutant strains than in wild type flies while the total numbers of hemocytes and apoptotic cells were similar indicating the requirement of the mutated genes for apoptotic cell engulfment. RNAi knockdown of single genes also reduces the phagocytic index while the total numbers of hemocytes and apoptotic cells remained comparable, further underscoring the involvement of the investigated phagocytosis receptors in apoptotic cell mediated phagocytosis.Once mastered, this technique can be completed in about 15 hours if it is performed properly. While attempting this procedure, it's important to remember to avoid excess hemocyte marker and TUNEL staining for optimal evaluation of the phagocytotic ability of the cells. Following this procedure, in situ phagocytosis assay of all Drosophila embryos can be performed to answer additional questions about the site of engulfment or the distribution of the hemocytes.After its development, this technique paved the way for researchers in the immunology field to explore the mechanisms of apoptotic cell engulfment in Drosophila. After watching this video, you should have a good understanding of how to measure in vivo phagocytosis in Drosophila embryos.
