Les maladies cérébrovasculaires sont l’une des trois principales maladies qui peuvent menacer la santé humaine, parmi lesquelles les maladies cérébrovasculaires ischémiques représentent plus de 80%. La thrombose cérébrale et la thrombose veineuse cérébrale sont les maladies cérébrovasculaires ischémiques les plus concernées aujourd’hui, principalement causées par des caillots sanguins cérébraux 1,2. Si le traitement n’est pas effectué correctement, il aura des taux élevés d’invalidité et de mortalité et un taux de récidive élevé après la sortie3.
Récemment, un nombre croissant d’études ont montré que les composants cellulaires des caillots sanguins cérébraux sont étroitement corrélés au diagnostic, au traitement et au pronostic de la thrombose cérébrale 4,5,6. Par conséquent, la disponibilité de données sur la composition du thrombus, en particulier les composants cellulaires, est importante pour le diagnostic clinique et le traitement. Malheureusement, les méthodes actuellement disponibles ne permettent pas d’analyser de manière exhaustive le composant du caillot sanguin quantitativement et qualitativement. Par exemple, la coloration in situ basée sur Martius Scarlett Blue ne peut étudier que les globules rouges/blancs de certaines tranches du caillot7. La coloration in situ basée sur l’immunohistochimie (IHC) ne permet d’étudier que des composants sanguins limités de certaines tranches du caillot à l’aide de leurs anticorps8. Les méthodes basées sur l’imagerie microscopique ne s’intéressent qu’à la structure spécifique du caillot9. De plus, toutes ces méthodes sont laborieuses et chronophages10. À ce jour, les procédures permettant d’étudier quantitativement et qualitativement les composants des cellules des thrombus cérébraux n’ont pas été rapportées. Il est largement reconnu que la fibrine réticulée enveloppe étroitement les cellules sanguines dans les caillots11. Par conséquent, la dégradation spécifique de la fibrine réticulée et la libération des cellules intactes sont essentielles pour l’analyse précise des composants cellulaires.
Des travaux antérieurs ont isolé une enzyme fibrinolytique de Sipunculus nudus (sFE), qui peut dégrader la fibrine de manière spécifique et rapide12. Ici, une méthode d’analyse des composants cellulaires des thrombus cérébraux basée sur l’activité unique de la sFE a été proposée. Ce protocole a utilisé la sFE pour dégrader d’abord la fibrine des caillots, puis a analysé les composants cellulaires par coloration de Wright et examen sanguin de routine13,14. Selon cette méthode, les composants cellulaires des thrombus cérébraux peuvent être étudiés quantitativement et qualitativement. Ce protocole simple et efficace pourrait être appliqué pour l’analyse des composants cellulaires d’autres caillots sanguins.

a comprehensive approach to analyze the cell components of cerebral blood clots

La thrombose cérébrale, un caillot sanguin dans une artère ou une veine cérébrale, est le type d’infarctus cérébral le plus courant. L’étude des composants cellulaires des caillots sanguins cérébraux est importante pour le diagnostic, le traitement et le pronostic. Cependant, les approches actuelles pour étudier les composants cellulaires des caillots sont principalement basées sur la coloration in situ , ce qui ne convient pas à l’étude complète des composants cellulaires car les cellules sont étroitement enveloppées dans les caillots. Des études antérieures ont réussi à isoler une enzyme fibrinolytique (sFE) de Sipunculus nudus, qui peut dégrader directement la fibrine réticulée, libérant les composants cellulaires. Cette étude a permis d’établir une méthode complète basée sur la sFE pour étudier les composants cellulaires du thrombus cérébral. Ce protocole comprend la dissolution du caillot, la libération des cellules, la coloration des cellules et l’examen sanguin de routine. Selon cette méthode, les composants cellulaires pourraient être étudiés quantitativement et qualitativement. Les résultats représentatifs des expériences utilisant cette méthode sont présentés.

Cerebrovascular disease is one of three major diseases that can threaten human health, among which ischemic cerebrovascular disease accounts for more than 80%. Cerebral thrombosis and cerebral vein thrombosis are the most concerned ischemic cerebrovascular diseases today, mainly caused by cerebral blood clots1,2. If the treatment is not done properly, it will have high disability and mortality rates and a high recurrence rate after discharge3.
Recently, a growing number of studies have shown that the cell components of cerebral blood clots are tightly correlated with the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cerebral thrombosis4,5,6. Therefore, the availability of data on thrombus composition, especially the cell components, is important for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Unfortunately, the currently available methods cannot comprehensively analyze the blood clot component quantitatively and qualitatively. For example, Martius Scarlett Blue based in-situ staining can only study the red/white blood cells of certain slices of the clot7. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) based in-situ staining can only study limited blood components of certain slices of the clot using their antibodies8. The microscopic image-based methods are only concerned with the specific structure of the clot9. Moreover, all those methods are laborious and time-consuming10. To date, the procedures for quantitatively and qualitatively studying cerebral thrombi cell components have not been reported. It is widely acknowledged that the cross-linked fibrin tightly wraps the blood cells in the clots11. Consequently, the specific degradation of the cross-linked fibrin and release of the intact cells is critical for the accurate analysis of cell components.
Previous works isolated a fibrinolytic enzyme from Sipunculus nudus (sFE), which can degrade the fibrin specifically and quickly12. Herein, a method for analyzing the cell components of the cerebral thrombi based on the unique activity of sFE was proposed. This protocol utilized sFE to degrade the fibrin of clots first and then analyzed the cell components by Wright&#39;s Staining and routine blood examination13,14. According to this method, the cell components of cerebral thrombi can be quantitatively and qualitatively studied. This simple and effective protocol might be applied for the cell component analysis of other blood clots.

Une approche globale pour analyser les composants cellulaires des caillots sanguins cérébraux

Our research mainly focuses on cerebral thrombosis. Many studies have shown that cerebral blood clot cell component correlate with the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of cerebral thrombosis. In this study, we established a novel method for the analysis of cell component of cerebral blood clots.This challenge in analyzing cell components of cerebral blood clots is the release of entire shaft from blood clots. This is because the clots leaked fibering tiry rash, the blood cells in the clots. Targeted approaches to starting the cell components of the clots are best done in C2 standing, which is unsuitable for the comprehensive starting of the cell components.On the contrary, our method enables both quantitative and qualitative enlightenings of the cerebral slope cell components. Our method utilizes fibrinolytic enzyme to delay the fibering in blood clots, releasing the intact cells. The data obtained from the analysis of the cell components will facilitate the study of the mechanisms of cerebral thrombosis at a molecular level.Our team will continue to focus on the study of fibrinolysis and coagulation system.

Au stade initial du processus de dégradation, il a été constaté que les caillots sanguins avaient une structure compacte rouge et que la solution de travail était incolore. Après une incubation de 30 minutes, la solution de travail est devenue rouge clair, ce qui indique que les cellules sanguines croisées ont été libérées dans la solution de travail. La plupart des caillots ont été dissous lors de l’allongement du temps d’incubation à 5 h, et la solution de travail est devenue rouge clair. Au contraire...

C’est parce que les caillots ont fui des éruptions cutanées de fibrage, les cellules sanguines dans les caillots.

Notre méthode utilise l’enzyme fibrinolytique pour retarder le fibrage des caillots sanguins, libérant ainsi les cellules intactes. Les données obtenues à partir de l’analyse des composants cellulaires faciliteront l’étude des mécanismes de la thrombose cérébrale au niveau moléculaire.Notre équipe continuera à se concentrer sur l’étude de la fibrinolyse et du système de coagulation.

A Comprehensive Approach to Analyze the Cell Components of Cerebral Blood Clots

Cerebral thrombosis, a blood clot in a cerebral artery or vein, is the most common type of cerebral infarction. The study of the cell components of cerebral blood clots is important for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. However, the current approaches to studying the cell components of the clots are mainly based on in situ staining, which is unsuitable for the comprehensive study of the cell components because cells are tightly wrapped in the clots. Previous studies have successfully isolated a fibrinolytic enzyme (sFE) from Sipunculus nudus, which can degrade the cross-linked fibrin directly, releasing the cell components. This study established a comprehensive method based on the sFE to study the cell components of cerebral thrombus. This protocol includes clot dissolving, cell releasing, cell staining, and routine blood examination. According to this method, the cell components could be studied quantitatively and qualitatively. The representative results of experiments using this method are shown.

This study describes a fast and effective method for the cell component analysis of cerebral blood clots through clot dissolving, cell staining, and routine blood examination.

Cerebral Thrombus Clot Dissolution and Cell Staining for Cell Component Analyses

To begin, place the collected cerebral blood clot samples on a clean dish using tweezers. Then, using a pipette, add five milliliters of physiological saline to it and gently shake the dish. Remove the saline using a pipette.Using a pair of scissors, chop the clots into small pieces. Once again, add five milliliters of physiological saline to the clots and shake the dish gently before aspirating the saline with a pipette. Then, using tweezers, transfer the pieces of clots to a new, clean U-plate.Prepare the SFE working solution by adjusting the concentration of SFE to 2, 000 units per milliliter using physiological saline. Add 300 microliters of the SFE working solution to the pretreated clots. To initiate the first round of degradation, incubate the mixture of SFE and clots at 37 degrees Celsius for half an hour.After that, gently shake to mix the SFE treated sample. And using a clean pipette, transfer the liquid portion to a sterile tube. Set aside the remaining clot for another round of degradation.Centrifuge the collected liquid at 200 G for five minutes at four degrees Celsius. Next, using a pipette, transfer the supernatant or the recovered SFE solution to another clean tube. Resuspend the resultant cell pellet in 50 microliters of physiological saline by gentle mixing.After this, perform subsequent rounds of degradation on the remaining clots using the recovered SFE solution as demonstrated previously. Gather the cell mixture from each round of degradation to prepare the blood cell sample. Add five microliters of the obtained cell sample to the poly-L-lysine-coated glass slide.And using a cover slip, smear the cells. Allow the liquid to evaporate at room temperature. To perform cell staining, gently add 100 microliters of rights dye to the cell smear.Allow the cells to stain for 30 minutes at room temperature before gently rinsing the dye off with clean water. Finally, examine the stained cells using a light microscope. Compact red blood clots with a colorless working solution were observed during the early stage of degradation.Clot dissolution was observed after a 30-minute incubation and a prolonged incubation of up to five hours dissolved most clots, while there was no significant change in the negative control group, even after a 10-hour incubation. After a right staining, mature red blood cells, platelets, and various granulocytes were clearly identifiable under a light microscope. The cell components could be quantitatively analyzed with the aid of autohematology successfully.
