後生動物では、 例えば 、線虫線虫（Caenorhabditis elegans）、果実はキイロショウジョウバエ 、マウスやヒトを飛ぶ、細胞の大多数は、自分の体を形作るために開発中のアポトーシスを受けるし、成人期に恒常性1、2を維持します。アポトーシス細胞は、完全に除去されなければ免疫原性細胞内物質を放出することによって周囲の組織に炎症を誘発するため、迅速に除去する必要がある3 。食細胞の貪食受容体によって認識され、貪食3、4、5、6によって除去される迅速な除去を容易にするために、本アポトーシス細胞いわゆる食べる-MEを信号。このように、食作用は宿主恒常性の維持に重要な役割を果たし、従って、分子の解明<html>アポトーシス細胞の食作用の根底にある機構が重要である。 アポトーシス細胞の食作用に関与する機構は、線虫、ハエ、およびマウスの種間で進化的に保存されているようである7 。いくつかの食作用アッセイが、現在、これらのモデル動物におけるアポトーシス細胞の貪食を評価するために利用可能である。 線虫では 、131体細胞は発達中にプログラム細胞死を起こし、細胞死体は非専門食細胞である隣接細胞によって貪食される8 。したがって、 C.エレガンスの残りの細胞死体の数を数えることは、インビボでの食作用のレベルを示す。死細胞数の増加を示し、線虫の変異体を探索することにより、食作用のために必要ないくつかの遺伝子が同定されており、遺伝的に10、9特徴付け、S = &quot;外部参照&quot;&gt; 11、12。 初代培養食細胞、一般にマクロファージを用いたエクスビボ食作用アッセイは、しばしばマウスにおいて利用される。アポトーシス細胞は、Jurkat細胞のような細胞系を用いて調製され、一次貪食細胞と混合される。数時間のインキュベーションの後、ファゴサイトーシスのレベルを評価するために、ファゴサイトおよび貪食ファゴサイトの総数を数える。この方法の洗練された改変として、Nagataのグループは、アポトーシス細胞がアポトーシスDNA断片化を起こさないカスパーゼ耐性ICAD（カスパーゼ活性化DNアーゼ阻害剤）を発現する細胞を用いたex vivo食作用アッセイを開発したが、細胞は貪食される。これらの細胞を食作用アッセイにおいてアポトーシス標的として使用する場合、貪食されたアポトーシス細胞のDNAのみが断片化され、TdT媒介dUTPニック末端標識（TUNEL）によって染色される。したがって、アポトーシス細胞の貪食は、食細胞とアポトーシス細胞の混合物中のTUNELシグナルを計数することによって測定される13 。 キイロショウジョウバエでは、血球、 ショウジョウバエマクロファージ、名前のプロの食細胞がアポトーシスを起こした細胞14、15の食作用を担当しています。培養細胞系を用いたin vitro食作用アッセイに加えて、 ショウジョウバエの全胚を用いたin vivo食作用アッセイが利用可能である。 ショウジョウバエの胚は、多くの細胞がアポトーシスを受けるし、胚発生14、15、16の間に血球によって貪食されているので、アポトーシス細胞の貪食のレベルを調べるための強力なツールです。 インビボ貪食アッセイの一例は、フランのグループによって開発された方法である。彼らの方法では、血球は、ペルオキシダの免疫染色、血球マーカーによってtected、アポトーシス細胞を核染料を用いて染色し、7-アミノアクチノマイシンD全体ショウジョウバエ胚において、二重陽性細胞の数は、貪食17の信号としてカウントされます。胚に対する食作用アッセイの別の例は、上記の永田の方法の概念に基づいている。しかしながら、 インビボで食作用は、（ ショウジョウバエカスパーゼ活性化デオキシリボヌクレアーゼ）突然変異体は18、19ハエDCADの胚を用いて評価されます。これらのインビボ食作用アッセイは、インサイチューで食作用を直接観察するのに有用である。しかしながら、貪食細胞の計数段階において可能な偏りを除外することには困難が伴う。なぜなら、その厚さのために全胚細胞中の全ての食細胞およびアポトーシス細胞を観察することが困難であるからである。 この制限を克服するために、我々はショウジョウバエの胚における新しい食作用アッセイを編集した。我々の方法では、貪食細胞を容易に計数するために、全胚を均質化して分散胚細胞を調製する。貪食細胞は食細胞マーカーの免疫染色により検出され、アポトーシス細胞はこれらの分散した胚細胞を有するTUNELによって検出される。分散された胚細胞の使用は、私たちが食作用のレベルを正確に定量するインビトロ貪食アッセイを行ったかのようにインビボ貪食レベルを測定することを可能にする。食作用によるアポトーシス細胞クリアランスが最も豊富な発生段階である、胚20の段階16に発展する場合、このアッセイでは、全ての遺伝子型のハエを用いることができる。この方法は、食作用のレベルを定量的に評価する利点を有し、したがって、 インビボでのアポトーシス細胞の食作用に関与する新しい分子の同定に寄与し得る 。

phagocytosis assay for apoptotic cells in drosophila embryos

アポトーシス細胞の食作用の根底にある分子メカニズムは、免疫および炎症性難治性疾患におけるその役割のために、より詳細に解明される必要がある。本発明者らは、本明細書において 、エンザイムリアクションを制御する遺伝子ネットワークが哺乳動物から進化的に保存されているショウジョウバエを用いて、貪食を定量的に調べる実験的方法を開発した。全動物を用いて貪食細胞および貪食細胞を正確に検出および計数するために、 ショウジョウバエ胚をホモジナイズして、貪食細胞およびアポトーシス細胞を含む分散細胞を得た。分散胚細胞の使用は、我々は全体の胚では、すべての食細胞およびアポトーシス細胞を観察し、正確に食作用のレベルを定量化することも可能であるインビトロ食作用アッセイを行ったかのようにin vivoでの食作用のレベルを測定することが可能になります。この方法が以前の研究のものを再現することを確認したアポトーシス細胞の貪食に必要な遺伝子を同定した。この方法は、死細胞の貪食を分析することができ、 ショウジョウバエの強力な遺伝学と組み合わせると、貪食細胞によるアポトーシス細胞の遊走、認識、貪食、分解からなる複合貪食反応を明らかにする。

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.
