Abstract: Fare Periton Boşluk Hücreleri İzolasyon

Periton boşluğuna memelilerin karaciğer, dalak, mide-bağırsak ve diğer iç organları içeren bir membran-bağlı ve karın boşluğunda sıvı dolu. Bu bağışıklık hücreleri, makrofajlar, B hücreleri ve T hücreleri de dahil olmak üzere bir dizi barındırıyor. Periton boşluğunda naif makrofajlar yüksek sayıda varlığı naif doku ikamet eden makrofaj (1) toplanması için tercih edilen bir site yapar. Peritoneal kavite varlığı nedeniyle geleneksel B2 hücrelerine ek olarak B1 hücreler olarak bilinen eşsiz bir periton boşluğuna yerleşik B hücre alt B hücreleri çalışma için önemlidir. B1 hücreleri CD11b ve CD5 yüzey ifadesi ile ayırt edilebilir B1a ve B1b hücreleri, bölünmüştür. B1 hücreleri çeşitli patojenler (2-4) bir erken koruma sağlayan doğal IgM önemli bir kaynak. Bu hücreler, Doğa (5) otoreaktif, ama onlar otoimmünite önlemek için nasıl kontrol edilir hala tam olarak anlaşılmış değildir. Aksine, CD5

  2. Fare Euthanize,% 70 etanol ile sprey ve sırtında strafor blok üzerine monte edin.
  3. Bir makas ve forseps kullanarak periton dış deri kesme ve periton boşluğuna kaplayan iç deri hafifçe ortaya çıkarmak için geri çekin.
  4. 27g bir iğne kullanılarak peritoneal kavite içine buz PBS (% 3 FCS) 5 ml enjekte edilir. Herhangi bir organ dikkatli olmazsanız ponksiyon için periton iğne yavaşça itin.
  5. Enjeksiyondan sonra, periton PBS çözümü herhangi bir bağlı hücreleri çıkarmak için hafifçe masaj yapın.
  6. Periton bir 5 ml şırınga bağlı olarak, 25 g iğne, konik takın ve sıvı yağ dokusu veya diğer organlar tarafından tıkanmasını önlemek için iğne ucu hafifçe hareket ettirerek toplamak. Mümkün olduğunca fazla sıvı olarak toplayın ve şırınga iğnesi çıkardıktan sonra buz üzerinde tutulmalıdır tüplerde toplanan hücre süspansiyonu yatırmak.
    İsteğe Bağlı: Tekrar adım 4-6
  7. Periton iç deride bir kesi yapın ve bir forseps ile cilt tutarken boşluğunda kalan sıvı toplamak için plastik bir Pasteur pipeti kullanın.

Discussion: Fare Periton Boşluk Hücreleri İzolasyon

Periton boşluğuna hücrelerinin izolasyonu, farklı bağışıklık hücreleri, başta makrofajlar ve spesifik B hücre alt çalışma için önemli bir tekniktir. Bu basit bir süreç olmasına rağmen, bazı kritik adımlar vardır. Saf bir periton boşluğuna hücre popülasyonu elde etmek için toplanan örnek kan kirlenmesine varlığı kaçınılmalıdır. Servikal dislokasyon tarafından Ötenazi periton boşluğunda kan kirlenmesini önlemek için dikkatli bir şekilde yapılmalıdır. Alternatif olarak CO 2 kullanılabilir. Buna ek olarak, prosedüre uygun bakım sırasında peritoneal kavite, mesane ya da herhangi bir diğer organlara delinmesiyle önlemek için alınmalıdır. Enjekte edilen sıvı en kurtarma, hücre verimi önemlidir.

Bu prosedürü, yaygın olarak orta numaraları bu yana ikamet eden makrofaj biyoloji okumak için kullanılır, unstimulated makrofajlar kolayca makrofaj koloni stimüle edici faktör (8 kullanılarak, in vitro olgun makrofajlara miyeloid progenitör hücrelerin ayırt zahmetli görev aksine, periton boşluğuna elde edilebilir , 9). Tiyoglikolat kullanımı makrofajlar (7) fizyolojik özelliklerini değiştirebilir olsa da periton boşluğunda makrofaj verim, tiyoglikolat ortaya çıkarma yöntemi kullanarak geliştirilebilir.

B hücreleri bağışıklık sisteminin doğal ve adaptif bağışıklık hem de önemli rol oynayan önemli bir parçasıdır. Farklı B hücre alt arasında, B1 hücreleri B hücreleri doğuştan gelen bağışıklık, otoimmünite ve bağışıklık düzenleme yer eşsiz bir alt oluşmaktadır. B1 hücreler öncelikle periton boşluğunda bulunan ve kendini yeniler. Onlar, ilk satırı, bir virüs sayısı ve bakteriler (10-12) karşı koruma sağlar doğal IgM birincil üreticiler biri. B1 hücreler de immün regülasyon yer alan önemli bir sitokin olan IL-10 (6), önemli bir kaynağıdır. B1 hücreleri ile çeşitli çalışmalar takip olmasına rağmen, hala özel, kendi karşıt fonksiyonları daha fazla değerlendirme için düzenleyici rol kapsamı vardır. Periton boşluğuna hücre izolasyon yöntemi B1 hücrelerinin fonksiyonlarını incelemek için eşsiz bir fırsat sunuyor.

Hello Dr. Ray,
Thank you for your beautiful demo & the theory.
I have 2 questions:
1. How can one differentiate between the B & T-cells & macrophages without using FACS ?
2. Is there a way to get only the macrophages ?
Thanks.
Chandra

1.FACS buffer is just PBS with 2%FBS. Actually, you can only use PBS for isolating the peritoneal cells. However, I don't understand what you are asking.
2. You can get macrophages by letting cells adhere to the plate for 2 hours, and wash the cells with PBS 2 times. Since macrophages are the only cells that can adhere to the plate, other cells are gonna be washed off.

Dear Chandra:
You can use magnetic cell sorting to obtain the different cell populations post isolation from the peritoneal cavity and through thioglycollate elicitation you will obtain more macrophages. You can purify the macrophages either by adhering them to petri dishes or through cell sorting.

Avijit

Thank you for this great video!

I am isolating macrophages from the periotoneal cavity the same way you do it. But after a week, when I do Inmunocitochemistry I found Desmin+/ smooth muscle+ cells... and I am wondering why?? other cells could be contaminating my cultures???
May I fail during the wash step and not removing all the non-adherent cells??

Other questions is, how long do this cells live in culture??

I will apreciatte your help!

My name is Salman Khan and Im PhD course student in South Korea. Currently, Im working on primary culturing of macrophages for the measurment of nitric oxide and PGE2 production in the culture media. For my experiment, I followed all your discribed procedure for the isolation of peritonial macrophages and seeded in 24 well plate, and incubate for two hours in 37C. I treat the cells with my samples and stimulated with LPS (1ug/ml) for 20 h. When, I cheched the nitric oxide concentration (using griess reagent method), but there was no LPS stimulation. would you mind to give me some propoer and nice suggestion??
I will be realy grateful to you.

Dear Mr. Salman Khan:
My suggestion would be to culture cells at a concentration of 1 million cells per ml in 96 well flat-bottom microtiter plate and stimulate them with 5-10 ug/ml LPS for 24h. Post culture centrifuge the samples and collect cell free supernatant. Aliquot 50ul of this supernatant from each sample in a 96 well plate and add equal amount of Griess reagent to each sample. Incubate for 10 min at room temperature and measure absorbance.

First of all, Balc mice are much less responsive to LPS than C57B6. Second, 10 ug/mL LPS is a VERY high concentration, and 20 hr is a VERY long stimulation. In my hand, I can get a very robust response with 1 ng/mL LPS. In term of serected cytokine levels, black 6 macrophage secreted 3 times more than Balbc ones. I would suggest you try to run a time course first to determine the optimal time point for medium collection.

Dear Dr. Ray,

My name is Branislav and I am a PhD student working
in an immunology lab in Jena, Germany. We are also focused
on different B cells populations including B1 cells and Marginal zone B cells.
My current aim is to perform a peritoneal B cell transfer from one mouse to another,
and for this I would like to use magnetic negative selection, depletion of all non-B cells
in the peritoneal wash. What markers would you use to effectively remove all T cells and macrophages
from the peritoneal exudate? I guess TCRab would be enough for T cells? And what about periotoneal macrophages,
do they have any specific markers, different from B1 cells?

Thank you very much in advance,
I am looking forward to your answer.
Best regards,

Dear Ivy,

Dissolve thioglycollate medium in DD water and autoclave it.
It is not uncommon to have some globular macrophages. Did you check by flow cytometric staining whether the conglobated cells as obtained by you are macrophages? You may get some neutrophils and lymphocytes depending on the time between thioglycollate injection and collection of cells. Collect PerC cells 3-4 days after thioglycollate injection to obtain optimal yield of macrophages.

Dear Dasha,

Thioglycollate medium is not used for collecting cells unlike PBS. It is used to elicit macrophages to obtain better yield and 3-4 days is the optimal time. You can collect peritoneal macrophages without using thioglycollate. Only the yield will be less.
Check ref # 7 for altered macrophage properties using thioglycollate.

Can I use CD14 for detecting of macrophages of mouse; I mean CD 14 is specific to human?
Can I treated on mouse in vivo and investigate morphology and immunology parameter in vitro? i mean they may keep their changes in vitro as clear as in vivo?
How can I stain them? Which of these? Trypan Blue or Giemsa or Hematoxylin?

Dear Latifeh,

Do you mean mixing cells from 3-5 mice? If so, depending on your experimental design you can.
Mouse cells express CD14. I would suggest using CD14 in combination with CD11b and B220 (to gate out B cells) for the detection of peritoneal cavity macrophages.
You can treat mice in vivo and isolate PerC macrophages to study immune parameters depending on your experimental design.
Use Trypan blue to determine cell viability and use Wright-Giemsa staining for morphological studies.

I have an issue that i would like to discuss with you.

1)Do you simply distinguish the different cell populations by adherence? Is it trustable that B and T cells do not adhere to the plates?

2)Can you distinguish between the different macrophage populations, that is, do you know if is possible to assess which type of macrophage is present? I know there are CD markers characteristic of each macrophage, but i read that they are not specific..

Thank you very much!

An enriched macrophage population (90-95%) is obtained by adherence to petri dishes, which can be further sorted to attain a higher purity.

You can use CD markers to distinguish the different macrophage populations.

Dear Dr Ray,

When i isolate peritoneal macrophages, i immediately plaque 200x10^3 cells, but it is a bit difficult to distinguish and therefore count macrophages at microscope. On microscope i observe two different populations: big and small spheres. I consider that the big spheres are macrophages. So, only after count the cells and plaque them, i am able to observe their adherence. My doubt on this procedure is, how can i ensure that the cells i am counting are macrophages? I know that after 1 day, they adhere to the plaque, but the number may not be right.

Thank you very much!
