Sunulan protokol, monosit ve makrofajların incelenmesinde bir model olarak HIV ile enfekte olmuş deneklerin birincil hücrelerinin kullanımını göstermektedir. HIV+ cART geçiren hastalar birden fazla yıl enfeksiyon ile yaşamak ve aynı zamanda diğer co-enfeksiyonlar tehlikeye bağışıklık sistemi ile ilgili olabilir. HIV kronik enfeksiyon varlığında immünomodülasyon çalışma için, hücreler doğrudan hastalardan hasat edildi. MiRNA'ların hücre gelişimi ve farklılaşmasında önemli rol ...

İnsan immün yetmezlik virüs-1 (HIV-1) enfeksiyonu fırsatçı enfeksiyonlara ve edinsel immün yetmezlik sendromuna (AIDS) yol açabilen ciddi immün fonksiyon bozukluğuna neden olur. Hiv-enfekte hastalar cART geçiren düşük viral yükler ve normal CD4+ T hücre sayıları ile karakterize olmasına rağmen, bağışıklık sisteminin işleyişi bu kişilerde tehlikeye olabilir, kanser gelişme riski ile bağlantılı olan işlevsiz bir bağışıklık yanıtına yol açan1. CART'taki HIV hastalarında immün disfonksiyon mekanizmaları büyük ölçüde bilinmemektedir. Bu nedenle, hasta kaynaklı bağışıklık hücrelerinin karakterize ve biyoloji ve fonksiyon araştırılması mevcut HIV araştırmanın önemli bir bileşenidir.
Monositler ve makrofajlar bağışıklık yanıtlarının temel düzenleyicileridir ve HIV enfeksiyonu2,3,4,5'tetemel rol oynarlar. Heterojen ve plastik doğada makrofajlar klasik olarak aktive (M1) veya alternatif olarak aktive (M2) olarak sınıflandırılabilir. Deneysel koşullar belirlenirken bu genel sınıflandırma gerekli olmakla birlikte, makrofajların polarizasyon durumu çeşitli sitokinler6,7,8,9ile tersine çevrilebilir. Çeşitli çalışmalar monositler ve dendritik hücreler üzerinde HIV enfeksiyonu etkilerini araştırmış olsa da, monosit aracılı yanıtların moleküler detayları büyük ölçüde bilinmemektedir6,7,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19. Bağışıklık hücresi regülasyonu ve fonksiyonu ile ilgili faktörler arasında, mikroRNA'lar (miRNA'lar), transkripsiyon sonrası gen ekspresyonunu düzenleyen kısa kodlamayan RNA'ların, büyük hücresel yollar (yani büyüme, farklılaşma, gelişme ve apoptoz) bağlamında önemli bir rol oynadığı gösterilmiştir20. Bu moleküller, makrofajların fonksiyonel polarizasyonunu dikte etmek için gerekli transkripsiyon faktörlerinin önemli düzenleyicileri olarak tanımlanmıştır21. CART uygulanan HIV enfekte bireylerin monositlerde miRNA potansiyel rolü araştırılmıştır, ancak alanında ilerleme çok daha fazla çalışma gerektirir22,23,24,25,26. Bu makalede, miRNA'ları ve siRNA'ları HIV ile enfekte olmuş hastalardan ve kontrollerden birincil insan monositlerine dönüştürmek için optimize edilmiş bir yöntem tartışılmaktadır.
Bu protokol, teknik prosedürdeki süreklilik klinik numunelerle çalışırken gereksiz deneysel değişkenlerin ortadan kaldırılmasına yardımcı olduğu için, ticari olarak kullanılabilen reaktiflere ve kitlere dayanır. Bununla birlikte, yöntem önemli ipuçları sağlar (yani, plaka hücrelerinin yapışmasını teşvik etmek için serumsuz medya ile kaplanmış veya kısa kuluçka hücre sayısı). Ayrıca, bu protokolde kullanılan polarizasyon koşulları yayınlanan çalışma27,28,29türetilmiştir.

isolation, transfection, and culture of primary human monocytes

İnsan immün yetmezlik virüsü (HIV) 1990'ların ortalarında kombine antiretroviral tedavi (cART) getirilmesine rağmen önemli bir sağlık sorunu olmaya devam etmektedir. Antiretroviral tedavi sistemik viral yükü etkin bir şekilde düşürürken ve normal CD4+ T hücre sayılarını geri getirirken, tamamen işlevsel bir bağışıklık sistemini yeniden oluşturmaz. CART uygulanan HIV-enfekte bireylerde işlevsiz bir bağışıklık sistemi bağışıklık aktivasyonu ile karakterize olabilir, bağışıklık hücrelerinin erken yaşlanma, ya da kalıcı inflamasyon. Bu koşullar, HIV enfeksiyonu ile ilişkili komorbid faktörler ile birlikte, kolayca hücresel ve hayvan modellerinde çoğaltılamaz hastalık, karmaşıklık ekleyin. Bu hastalarda immün disfonksiyonun altında yatan moleküler olayları araştırmak için, insan primer monositlerini in vitro olarak manipüle eden bir sistem sunulmuştur. Özellikle protokol, cART uygulanan HIV bulaşmış bireylerden ve HIV-negatif kontrollerden elde edilen birincil CD14+ monositlerin kültür ve transfeksiyonuna olanak sağlar. Yöntem, monositlerin ve monosit kaynaklı makrofajların izolasyon, kültür ve transfeksiyonu içerir. Ticari olarak mevcut kitler ve reaktifler kullanılırken, protokol miRNA mimikleri ve inhibitörleri ile monositlerin başarılı bir şekilde yapışması ve transfeksiyonu için önemli ipuçları ve optimize edilmiş koşullar sağlar.

Açıklanan prosedür kullanılarak, HIV ile enfekte bireyler ve sağlıklı donörlerin birincil insan monositleri izole edildi. Burada sunulan tüm veriler düşük (<20 kopya/mL) veya tespit edilemeyen viral yükler ve normal CD4+ T hücre sayıları ile cART uygulanan HIV+ deneklerden elde edilmiştir. İzolasyondan hemen sonra hücreler boyandı ve hücre popülasyonlarının saflığını doğrulamak için akış sitometrisi yapıldı. Sonuçlar, hücrelerin %9...

Bu yöntem bağışıklık yanıtının temel düzenleyicileri olan monosit fonksiyonunun incelenmesine olanak sağlar. Bu tekniği insan birincil monositlerinin izolasyonu, kültürü ve transfeksiyonu için optimize ettik.Biz HIV enfekte bireylerde bağışıklık disfonksiyonu moleküler mekanizmaları anlamak için bu yöntemi kullanmak, ancak monositler içeren diğer bağışıklık çalışmaları uygulanabilir. Bu insan kanı ile çalışan ilk kez ise, uygun biyogüvenlik protokolleri takip etmek ve muhtemelen bulaşıcı malzeme olarak tüm örnekleri tedavi etmek için unutmayın. Dört 10 mililitre EDTA vakum tüpleri taze insan tam kan 40 mililitre topladıktan sonra, bir biyogüvenlik kabine tek bir 50 mililitre konik propilen tüp içine tüm kan aktarmak için steril tekniği kullanın.Seçilen bir insan monosit izolasyon kiti üreticinin talimatları na göre, kitten kan tüpüne monosit izolasyon kokteyli iki mililitre ekleyin ve 30 saniye boyunca kiti manyetik boncuk girdap. Kana iki mililitre boncuk ekleyin ve boncukları kanla dikkatlice karıştırmak için 25 mililitrelik serolojik pipet kullanın. Oda sıcaklığında beş dakika sonra, dört 50 mililitre tüpler arasında eşit kan bölünmüş ve her tüp eki bir milimolar EDTA ile takviye steril PBS 30 mililitre ekleyin.Plastik 25 mililitre serolojik pipet ile tekrar karıştırın ve tüpleri manyetik tutuculara yerleştirin. 10 dakika sonra, her tüpün merkezinden kırmızı kan hücrelerinin bir mililitreden fazla aspire ve dört yeni 50 mililitre tüpler içine tüp içeriğini dağıtmak için dikkat alarak içeriğini çizmek için bir pipet kullanın. Her tüp girdaplı manyetik boncuk500 ek mikrolitre ekleyin ve yavaşça hücre çözeltisi karıştırın.Tüpleri, her tüpün merkezinden dört yeni 50 mililitrelik tüpten birine dikkatlice aktarmadan önce beş dakika boyunca manyetik tutuculara geri yerleştirin. Tüm hücre süspansiyonları aktarıldığında, her yeni 50 mililitrelik tüpü mıknatıs tutuculara beş dakika boyunca yerleştirin ve tüp içeriğini üç yeni 50 mililitrelik tüplerden oluşan üçüncü bir sete dikkatlice aktarın. Sonra santrifüj ile hücreleri toplamak ve sayım için steril PBS toplam 10 mililitre dört hücre pelet resuspend.Sayma sonra, bir kez 10 mililitre başına altıncı hücrelere 10 antibiyotik ve plaka bir mililitre resuspended hücrelerin bir mililitre ile desteklenen bir kez 10 bir biyogüvenlik kabine 35 milimetre plakalar içine askıya aldı. Daha sonra hücreleri kuyu diplerine yapışmasını sağlamak için 30 ila 60 dakika hücre kültürü kuluçka plakaları yerleştirin. M1 benzeri fenotipli makrofajlar için, her plakaya mililitre başına 25 nanogram içeren 100 mikrolitre fetal sığır serumu ekleyin.M2 benzeri fenotipli makrofajlar için, her plakaya mililitre başına 50 nanogram içeren 100 mikrolitre fetal sığır ekleyin. MikroRNA mimikleri, inhibitörleri veya küçük bir müdahaleci RNA ile monosit transfeksiyon için, transfeksiyon kiti için üreticinin protokolünü izleyerek, tamponda seçilen RNA'ları 10 mikrolitre seyreltilmiş mimik veya inhibitör transfeksiyon başına 10 mikrolitrede son konsantrasyona seyreltin. Transfeksiyon reaktifini hazırlamak için, sağlanan polimerin bir mikrolitresini 1,5 mililitrelik mikrosantrifüj tüpüne ekleyin ve transfeksiyon başına toplam 91 mikrolitre reaktif elde etmek için kit tarafından sağlanan tamponun 90 mikrolitresini hemen ekleyin.Girdap naip 3-5 saniye ve pipet 90 mikrolitre transfeksiyon çözeltisi içeren tüp içine seyreltilmiş RNA 10 mikrolitre içeren. Hafif çeşnilen sonra, bir hücre kuyusuna 100 mikrolitre transfeksiyon kompleksi eklemeden önce çözeltiyi oda sıcaklığında 15 dakika kuluçkaya yatırın. 37 santigrat derece dört saat sonra, uygun büyüme faktörü içeren tam orta üç mililitre ile orta değiştirin.Kültürün altıncı gününde, M1 kültürlerinden gelen kültür süpernatanlarını fetal sığır serumu, antibiyotikler, lipopolisakkarit ve interferon gama ile takviye edilmiş üç mililitre orta ile değiştirin ve M2 kültürlerinden süpernatantları fetal sığır serumu, antibiyotikler, M-CSF ve interlökin-4 ile takviye li olarak değiştirin. 24 saatlik kültürden sonra, her bir aktif makrofaj plakasını her yıkama başına taze PBS ile iki kez yıkayın. RNA ve protein analizleri için, serbest bırakılan hücre içeriğinin analizleri için toplanması için doğrudan plakalara iliştirin.Akış sitometrik analizi için, PBS'de iki milimolar EDTA ile hücreleri 37 santigrat derecede 10 dakika ayırın ve hücreleri plaka diplerinden hafifçe kazıyarak 1,5 mililitrelik mikrosantrifüj tüplerine ayırın. Burada CD80 ve CD83 düzeylerinde artmış M1-aktive kontrol ve hasta kaynaklı hücrelerin histogramları ile CD163 ve CD209 düzeylerinde artmış CD163 ve CD209 ile aktive edilmeyen T0 hücrelerine göre gösterilmiştir. İlginçtir, CD80 ve CD83 daha yüksek hiv kaynaklı hücrelere göre kontrol kaynaklı hücrelerde ifade gibi görünüyordu.Yeni toplanan monositlerin yakın kızılötesi etiketli mikroRNA ile transfeksiyonu, akış sitometrisi ve konfokal mikroskopi ile belirlenen transfeksiyonun %90'ından daha fazla verim elde etmesini sağlar. Buna ek olarak, transfeksiyon önemli ölçüde hücre olgunlaşma veya transfeksiyon koşulları aşamasından bağımsız olarak hasta kaynaklı veya kontrol hücrelerinin canlılığını azaltmaz. Transfeksiyon, transfeksiyon üzerine hedef genin etkili bir şekilde aşağılanmasına neden olur ve izolasyon sonrası dördüncü gün ve dördüncü gün spesifik küçük müdahale eden RNA ile.Ayrıca, mikroRNA mimik ile transfected hücreler transfeksiyon olmayan hücreler üzerinde mikroRNA ekspresyonunda 48-72 kat artış gösterirken, transfeksiyon kontrollerinin tümü kayda değer bir değişiklik göstermez. Kaplanmış hücrelerin sayısı hayatta kalmak için çok önemlidir. Biz 35 milimetrelik çanak başına bir milyon hücre öneririz.Serumsuz ortamda kaplama da büyük ölçüde hücre eki artıracaktır. Bu yöntemle elde edilen hücreler, ilgi çeken ve sağlıklı kontroledilen hastalarda diferansiyel yanıtları incelemek için sitokinler veya büyüme faktörleri ile tedavi edilebilir.

Human T Lymphocyte Isolation, Culture and Analysis of Migration In Vitro

The migration of T lymphocytes involves the adhesive interaction of cell surface integrins with ligands expressed on other cells or with extracellular matrix proteins. The precise spatiotemporal activation of integrins from a low affinity state to a high affinity state at the cell leading edge is important for T lymphocyte migration 1. Likewise, retraction of the cell trailing edge, or uropod, is a necessary step in maintaining persistent integrin-dependent T lymphocyte motility 2. Many therapeutic approaches to autoimmune or inflammatory diseases target integrins as a means to inhibit the excessive recruitment and migration of leukocytes 3. To study the molecular events that regulate human T lymphocyte migration, we have utilized an in vitro system to analyze cell migration on a two-dimensional substrate that mimics the environment that a T lymphocyte encounters during recruitment from the vasculature. T lymphocytes are first isolated from human donors and are then stimulated and cultured for seven to ten days. During the assay, T lymphocytes are allowed to adhere and migrate on a substrate coated with intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), a ligand for integrin LFA-1, and stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1). Our data show that T lymphocytes exhibit a migratory velocity of ~15 &mu;m/min. T lymphocyte migration can be inhibited by integrin blockade 1 or by inhibitors of the cellular actomyosin machinery that regulates cell migration 2.

Human T Lymphocyte Isolation, Culture and Analysis of Migration In Vitro

T lymphocyte migration occurs during homing to lymphoid organs, exit from the vasculature, and entering into peripheral tissues. Here, we describe a protocol that can be used to analyze T lymphocyte migration in vitro.

Generation of Organotypic Raft Cultures from Primary Human Keratinocytes

The development of organotypic epithelial raft cultures has provided researchers with an efficient in vitro system that faithfully recapitulates epithelial differentiation. There are many uses for this system. For instance, the ability to grow three-dimensional organotypic raft cultures of keratinocytes has been an important milestone in the study of human papillomavirus (HPV)1. The life cycle of HPV is tightly linked to the differentiation of squamous epithelium2. Organotypic epithelial raft cultures as demonstrated here reproduce the entire papillomavirus life cycle, including virus production3,4,5. In addition, these raft cultures exhibit dysplastic lesions similar to those observed upon in vivo infection with HPV. Hence this system can also be used to study epithelial cell cancers, as well as the effect of drugs on epithelial cell differentiation in general. Originally developed by Asselineau and Prunieras6 and modified by Kopan et al.7, the organotypic epithelial raft culture system has matured into a general, relatively easy culture model, which involves the growth of cells on collagen plugs maintained at an air-liquid interface (Figure 1A). Over the course of 10-14 days, the cells stratify and differentiate, forming a full thickness epithelium that produces differentiation-specific cytokeratins. Harvested rafts can be examined histologically, as well as by standard molecular and biochemical techniques. In this article, we describe a method for the generation of raft cultures from primary human keratinocytes. The same technique can be used with established epithelial cell lines, and can easily be adapted for use with epithelial tissue from normal or diseased biopsies8. Many viruses target either the cutaneous or mucosal epithelium as part of their replicative life cycle. Over the past several years, the feasibility of using organotypic raft cultures as a method of studying virus-host cell interactions has been shown for several herpesviruses, as well as adenoviruses, parvoviruses, and poxviruses9. Organotypic raft cultures can thus be adapted to examine viral pathogenesis, and are the only means to test novel antiviral agents for those viruses that are not cultivable in permanent cell lines.

An in vitro method to mimic in vivo epithelial differentiation is described. Many viruses target epithelial cells as part of their viral life cycle, and this method provides a means of examining virus:host interactions that more closely resembles that which occurs in vivo. This technique can be used with primary keratinocytes, established cell lines, as well as normal or diseased biopsy tissue.

Isolation of Human Monocytes by Double Gradient Centrifugation and Their Differentiation to Macrophages in Teflon-coated Cell Culture Bags

Human macrophages are involved in a plethora of pathologic processes ranging from infectious diseases to cancer. Thus they pose a valuable tool to understand the underlying mechanisms of these diseases. We therefore present a straightforward protocol for the isolation of human monocytes from buffy coats, followed by a differentiation procedure which results in high macrophage yields. The technique relies mostly on commonly available lab equipment and thus provides a cost and time effective way to obtain large quantities of human macrophages. Briefly, buffy coats from healthy blood donors are subjected to a double density gradient centrifugation to harvest monocytes from the peripheral blood. These monocytes are then cultured in fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) Teflon-coated cell culture bags in the presence of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). The differentiated macrophages can be easily harvested and used for subsequent studies and functional assays. Important methods for quality control and validation of the isolation and differentiation steps will be highlighted within the protocol. In summary, the protocol described here enables scientists to routinely and reproducibly isolate human macrophages without the need for cost intensive tools. Furthermore, disease models can be studied in a syngeneic human system circumventing the use of murine macrophages.

We present a simple and efficient protocol for the generation of human macrophages. Buffy coats are processed by double density gradient centrifugation and isolated monocytes are then differentiated to macrophages in Teflon-coated cell culture bags. This maximizes macrophage yields and facilitates cell harvesting for subsequent experiments.

Highly Efficient Transfection of Human THP-1 Macrophages by Nucleofection

Macrophages, as key players of the innate immune response, are at the focus of research dealing with tissue homeostasis or various pathologies. Transfection with siRNA and plasmid DNA is an efficient tool for studying their function, but transfection of macrophages is not a trivial matter. Although many different approaches for transfection of eukaryotic cells are available, only few allow reliable and efficient transfection of macrophages, but reduced cell vitality and severely altered cell behavior like diminished capability for differentiation or polarization are frequently observed. Therefore a transfection protocol is required that is capable of transferring siRNA and plasmid DNA into macrophages without causing serious side-effects thus allowing the investigation of the effect of the siRNA or plasmid in the context of normal cell behavior. The protocol presented here provides a method for reliably and efficiently transfecting human THP-1 macrophages and monocytes with high cell vitality, high transfection efficiency, and minimal effects on cell behavior. This approach is based on Nucleofection and the protocol has been optimized to maintain maximum capability for cell activation after transfection. The protocol is adequate for adherent cells after detachment as well as cells in suspension, and can be used for small to medium sample numbers. Thus, the method presented is useful for investigating gene regulatory effects during macrophage differentiation and polarization. Apart from presenting results characterizing macrophages transfected according to this protocol in comparison to an alternative chemical method, the impact of cell culture medium selection after transfection on cell behavior is also discussed. The presented data indicate the importance of validating the selection for different experimental settings.

This protocol presents an efficient and reliable method to transfect human THP-1 macrophages with siRNA or plasmid DNA by electroporation with high transfection efficiency while maintaining high cell vitality and full macrophage capacity for differentiation and polarization.

Isolation and Intravenous Injection of Murine Bone Marrow Derived Monocytes

As a subtype of leukocytes and progenitors of macrophages, monocytes are involved in many important processes of organisms and are often the subject of various fields in biomedical science. The method described below is a simple and effective way to isolate murine monocytes from heterogeneous bone marrow.
Bone marrow from the femur and tibia of Balb/c mice is harvested by flushing with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Cell suspension is supplemented with macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and cultured on ultra-low attachment surfaces to avoid adhesion-triggered differentiation of monocytes. The properties and differentiation of monocytes are characterized at various intervals. Fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), with markers like CD11b, CD115, and F4/80, is used for phenotyping. At the end of cultivation, the suspension consists of 45%&#177; 12% monocytes. By removing adhesive macrophages, the purity can be raised up to 86%&#177; 6%. After the isolation, monocytes can be utilized in various ways, and one of the most effective and common methods for in vivo delivery is intravenous tail vein injection. 
This technique of isolation and application is important for mouse model studies, especially in the fields of inflammation or immunology. Monocytes can also be used therapeutically in mouse disease models.

Here we present a protocol that generates large amounts of murine monocytes from heterogeneous bone marrow for translational applications. In comparison to others, this new method helps reduce the number of sacrificed animals and lowers costs by avoiding expensive methods such as high gradient magnetic cell separation (MACS).

Lymphocyte Isolation from Human Skin for Phenotypic Analysis and Ex Vivo Cell Culture

Human skin has an important barrier function and contains various immune cells that contribute to tissue homeostasis and protection from pathogens. As the skin is relatively easy to access, it provides an ideal platform to study peripheral immune regulatory mechanisms. Immune resident cells in healthy skin conduct immunosurveillance, but also play an important role in the development of inflammatory skin disorders, such as psoriasis. Despite emerging insights, our understanding of the biology underlying various inflammatory skin diseases is still limited. There is a need for good quality (single) cell populations isolated from biopsied skin samples. So far, isolation procedures have been seriously hampered by a lack of obtaining a sufficient number of viable cells. Isolation and subsequent analysis have also been affected by the loss of immune cell lineage markers, due to the mechanical and chemical stress caused by the current dissociation procedures to obtain single cell suspension. Here, we describe a modified method to isolate T cells from both healthy and involved psoriatic human skin by combining mechanical skin dissociation using an automated tissue dissociator and collagenase treatment. This methodology preserves expression of most immune lineage markers such as CD4, CD8, Foxp3 and CD11c upon the preparation of single cell suspensions. Examples of successful CD4+ T cell isolation and subsequent phenotypic and functional analysis are shown.

Live Imaging of Antifungal Activity by Human Primary Neutrophils and Monocytes in Response to A. fumigatus

Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic fungal pathogen causing invasive infections in immunocompromised hosts with a high case-fatality rate. Research investigating immunological responses against A. fumigatus has been limited by the lack of consistent and reliable assays for measuring the antifungal activity of specific immune cells in vitro. A new method is described to assess the antifungal activity of primary monocytes and neutrophils from human donors against A. fumigatus using FLuorescent Aspergillus REporter (FLARE) conidia. These conidia contain a genetically encoded dsRed reporter, which is constitutively expressed by live FLARE conidia, and are externally labeled with Alexa Fluor 633, which is resistant to degradation within the phagolysosome, thus allowing a distinction between live and dead A. fumigatus conidia. Video microscopy and flow cytometry are subsequently used to visualize the interaction between conidia and innate immune cells, assessing fungicidal activity whilst also providing a wealth of information on phagocyte migration, phagocytosis and the inhibition of fungal growth. This novel technique has already provided exciting new insights into the host-pathogen interaction of primary immune cells against A. fumigatus. It is important to note the laboratory setup required to perform this assay, including the necessary microscopy and flow cytometry facilities, and the capacity to work with human donor blood and genetically manipulated fungi. However, this assay is capable of generating large amounts of data and can reveal detailed insights into the antifungal response. This protocol has successfully been used to study the host-pathogen interaction of primary immune cells against A. fumigatus.

Small RNA Transfection in Primary Human Th17 Cells by Next Generation Electroporation

CD4+ T cells can differentiate into several subsets of effector T helper cells depending on the surrounding cytokine milieu. Th17 cells can be generated from na&#239;ve CD4+ T cells in vitro by activating them in the presence of the polarizing cytokines IL-1&#946;, IL-6, IL-23, and TGF&#946;. Th17 cells orchestrate immunity against extracellular bacteria and fungi, but their aberrant activity has also been associated with several autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Th17 cells are identified by the chemokine receptor CCR6 and defined by their master transcription factor, ROR&#947;t, and characteristic effector cytokine, IL-17A. Optimized culture conditions for Th17 cell differentiation facilitate mechanistic studies of human T cell biology in a controlled environment. They also provide a setting for studying the importance of specific genes and gene expression programs through RNA interference or the introduction of microRNA (miRNA) mimics or inhibitors. This protocol provides an easy to use, reproducible, and highly efficient method for transient transfection of differentiating primary human Th17 cells with small RNAs using a next generation electroporation device.

Next generation electroporation is an efficient method for transfecting human Th17 cells with small RNAs to alter gene expression and cell behavior.

Isolation and In Vitro Culture of Murine and Human Alveolar Macrophages

Alveolar macrophages are terminally differentiated, lung-resident macrophages of prenatal origin. Alveolar macrophages are unique in their long life and their important role in lung development and function, as well as their lung-localized responses to infection and inflammation. To date, no unified method for identification, isolation, and handling of alveolar macrophages from humans and mice exists. Such a method is needed for studies on these important innate immune cells in various experimental settings. The method described here, which can be easily adopted by any laboratory, is a simplified approach to harvesting alveolar macrophages from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid or from lung tissue and maintaining them in vitro. Because alveolar macrophages primarily occur as adherent cells in the alveoli, the focus of this method is on dislodging them prior to harvest and identification. The lung is a highly vascularized organ, and various cell types of myeloid and lymphoid origin inhabit, interact, and are influenced by the lung microenvironment. By using the set of surface markers described here, researchers can easily and unambiguously distinguish alveolar macrophages from other leukocytes, and purify them for downstream applications. The culture method developed herein supports both human and mouse alveolar macrophages for in vitro growth, and is compatible with cellular and molecular studies.

Mouse- and Human-derived Primary Gastric Epithelial Monolayer Culture for the Study of Regeneration

In vitro studies of gastric wound repair typically involves the use of gastric cancer cell lines in a scratch-wound assay of cellular proliferation and migration. One critical limitation of such assays, however, is their homogenous assortment of cellular types. Repair is a complex process which demands the interaction of several cell types. Therefore, to study a culture devoid of cellular subtypes, is a concern that must be overcome if we are to understand the repair process. The gastric organoid model may alleviate this issue whereby the heterogeneous collection of cell types closely reflects that of the gastric epithelium or other native tissues in vivo. Demonstrated here is a novel, in vitro scratch-wound assay derived from human or mouse 3-dimensional organoids which can then be transferred to a gastric epithelial monolayer as either intact organoids or as a single cell suspension of dissociated organoids. The goal of the protocol is to establish organoid-derived gastric epithelial monolayers that can be used in a novel scratch-wound assay system to study gastric regeneration.

Here we describe a protocol for establishing and culturing human- and mouse-derived 3-dimensional (3D) gastric organoids, and the method for the transfer of 3D organoids to a 2-dimensional monolayer. The use of the gastric epithelial monolayer as a novel scratch-wound assay for regeneration studies is also described.
