[Abstract] Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) possess the ability to suppress the immune response, and to amplify the regulatory properties of other immune cells, i.e., dendritic cells. Here we describe a protocol in which MDSCs were differentiated from murine bone marrow cells, and CD11c+ dendritic cells were purified from murine spleens. MDSCs and CD11c dendritic cells can be co-cultured and the immunoregulatory phenotype of the MDSCs-conditioned dendritic cells could be assessed by means of a specific functional in vivo experiment, i.e., a skin test as a measure of the delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction toward a poorly immunogenic antigen.
[摘要] 骨髓来源的抑制细胞(MDSCs)具有抑制免疫应答的能力,并扩增其他免疫细胞即树突状细胞的调节特性。 在这里,我们描述了MDSC与鼠骨髓细胞分化的方案,并且从鼠脾中纯化CD11c +树突状细胞。 可以共培养MDSC和CD11c树突状细胞,并且可以通过特定的功能体内实验来评估MDSCs条件树突细胞的免疫调节表型,即皮肤试验作为延迟型超敏反应的量度 抗免疫原性较差的抗原。 【背景】骨髓来源的抑制细胞(MDSCs)是由早期分化阶段的巨噬细胞,粒细胞,树突状细胞和骨髓细胞的前体组成的骨髓细胞组(Youn等人,2008),其在肿瘤的淋巴组织中大量积累感染性小鼠以及感染性疾病,败血症和创伤的小鼠。这些细胞的主要特征是它们以Ag特异性和/或非特异性方式抑制T细胞应答的能力。这些细胞现在被认为是负责肿瘤相关免疫缺陷的主要细胞类型之一;涉及MDSC介导的免疫抑制的主要因素包括Arg1的高表达(Marvel和Gabrilovich,2015)。精氨酸酶1(Arg1)和吲哚胺2,3-双加氧酶1(IDO1)分别是催化L-精氨酸(L-Arg)和L-色氨酸(L-Trp)降解的免疫调节酶,导致局部氨基酸剥夺。此外,与Arg1不同,IDO1在树突细胞(DC)中也具有非酶信号传导活性(Mondanelli等,2017)。除了其固有的免疫抑制活性外,MDSC还可能扩增其他免疫细胞的调节特性,特别是在肿瘤微环境中。虽然建立了MDSC-巨噬细胞相互作用的一些机制(Ugel等,2015),MDSCs和DCs之间的串扰仍然不清楚(Ostrand-Rosenberg等,2012);为弥补这一差距,我们已经制定了该方案,并且我们证明了Arg1 ...

[Abstract] Cardiac neural crest cells (CNCCs) originate at the dorsal edge of the neural tube between the otic pit and the caudal edge of the 3rd somite, and migrate into the pharyngeal arches and the heart. We have shown that fibronectin (Fn1) plays an important role in the development of the CNCC by regulating the differentiation of CNCCs into vascular smooth muscle cells around pharyngeal arch arteries (Wang and Astrof, 2016). This protocol describes the isolation of CNCCs from the neural tube and from the caudal pharyngeal arches, and the differentiation of neural crest-derived cells into smooth muscle cells. This protocol was adapted from (Newgreen and Murphy, 2000; Pfaltzgraff et al., 2012).
[摘要] 心脏神经嵴细胞(CNCC)起源于神经管的背部边缘,位于第3个体节的耳穴和尾缘之间,并迁移到咽弓和心脏。 我们已经表明,纤连蛋白(Fn1)通过调节CNCCs到咽弓动脉周围的血管平滑肌细胞的分化,在CNCC的发展中起重要作用(Wang and Astrof,2016)。 该方案描述了CNCC与神经管和尾尾弓的分离,以及神经嵴衍生细胞分化成平滑肌细胞。 该方案从(Newgreen和Murphy,2000; Pfaltzgraff等人,2012)改编。 【背景】以前发表的方案描述了从神经管分离神经嵴细胞。然而,在耳孔和第三体细胞之间的神经管区域中的神经嵴细胞包括有助于许多不同细胞类型的神经嵴细胞群体;例如,迷走神经嵴细胞也来自该区域。在该方案中,我们修改了用于分离心脏神经嵴细胞的常规方法。而不是使用神经管,我们在胚胎期(E)9.5(22-25个体节期)使用尾部咽部弓形区。这是在将心脏神经嵴细胞分化为血管平滑肌细胞之前。神经嵴培养物通常含有污染性间充质细胞,通常表达平滑肌基因。为了鉴定神经嵴衍生细胞,我们从以下交叉产生的胚胎中分离出神经嵴细胞:Fn1flox / flox; ROSAmTmG / mTmG雌性小鼠×Fn1 +/-;Tfap2αIRESCre/ ...

[Abstract] Antigen-specific T cell-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been shown to re-differentiate into functional T cells and thus provide a potential source of T cells that could be useful for cancer immunotherapy. Human Vα24+ invariant natural killer T (Vα24+iNKT) cells are subset of T cells that are characterized by the expression of an invariant Vα24-Jα18 paired with Vβ11, that recognize glycolipids, such as α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer), presented by the MHC class I-like molecule CD1d. Vα24+iNKT cells capable of producing IFN-γ are reported to augment anti-tumor responses, which affects both NK cells and CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes to eliminate MHC- and MHC+ tumor cells, respectively. Here we describe a ...
