这里介绍的是胶质瘤浸润外周血单核细胞的分离和流式细胞术分析能够产生在进入早期脑肿瘤微环境的免疫细胞的数目和激活状态依赖于时间的定量数据一个直接的方法。

Abstract

我们的实验室已最近表明,天然杀伤(NK)细胞能够颅内植入后CNS-1恶性胶质瘤很快消除原位移植小鼠GL26和大鼠如果癌细胞在它们的β半乳糖苷结合凝集素的galectin表达呈现缺陷的-1(加仑-1)。更近期的工作现在显示的Gr-1 + / CD11b的+髓样细胞群是这种效果的关键。为了更好地了解由NK细胞和骨髓细胞协作以赋予加仑-1缺失的肿瘤排斥我们已经开发了全面的协议用于分离和胶质瘤浸润外周血单核细胞(PBMC)的分析的机制。该方法是在这里证明了外周血单个核细胞浸润比较成的肿瘤微环境GAL-1表达GL26胶质瘤与那些通过shRNA的敲除呈现GAL-1缺失。该协议开始的描述如何培养并准备GL26 CELLS接种入同系的C57BL / 6J小鼠的大脑。然后,它解释了涉及从早期脑肿瘤微环境胶质瘤浸润的PBMC的分离和流式细胞术分析的步骤。该方法是适应若干体内 ,其中免疫渗入脑颞数据是必需的实验设计。该方法灵敏度高,重现性好,为神经胶质瘤浸润外周血单个核细胞可以从颅内肿瘤一旦被隔离24小时后移植瘤与时间点匹配的肿瘤遍布独立的实验中观察到类似的细胞计数。单个实验者可以从大脑收获执行该方法流胶质瘤浸润的PBMC的流式细胞术分析中大约4-6小时取决于待分析的样品的数目。替代胶质瘤模型和/或细胞特异性的检测抗体,也可以使用在实验者​​自行决定,以评估其它几个与免疫的渗透Ë细胞类型,而不需要改​​变对整体过程的兴趣。

Introduction

胶质瘤是一类从转化胶质中枢神经系统(CNS)内所产生的神经上皮脑癌。在所有的胶质瘤,世界卫生组织(WHO)Ⅳ级神经胶质瘤,或胶质母细胞瘤(GBM),是最常见和致命的1。 GBM是高度耐火到当前标准的转交它由肿瘤切除术,以随后辐射加伴随和辅助化疗与替莫唑胺2尽可能。这些致命的癌症随身携带的只有15〜18个月的生存率从最初诊断时,只有5%的患者生存的疾病预后极差5 1之后。

的血脑屏障(BBB)的存在,缺乏专业的抗原呈递细胞的(的APC),和脑4内的以前未知的存在真正的淋巴结构导致基底膜免疫特权的概念。然而,大量的研究现在SHO瓦特这些脑癌确实产生外周免疫细胞主要是粒细胞中的起源,其中包括单核细胞,巨噬细胞和髓源抑制细胞(肌源性干细胞)5的募集。 GBM还影响脑驻留小胶质细胞的活性而成为亲致瘤6,7。淋巴样细胞例如CD8 + T细胞8和CD56 +自然杀伤细胞9也是在肿瘤微环境中存在的,但在少得多的数量,想到了一个事实是由于策动胶质瘤衍生的因子对肿瘤相关巨噬细胞的免疫抑制功能(噬细胞)10。 CD4 + T细胞也存在于GBM,但许多这类人群也表达CD25和FoxP3的,免疫调节性T( 调节性T细胞)11机。 GBM的整体免疫抑制状态的高潮在促进免疫逃逸和肿瘤进展12。

<p class="“jove_content”">更好地了解GBM免疫抑制的机制是旨在刺激免疫系统对肿瘤免疫治疗的有效战略至关重要。在过去的15年来,我们的实验室一直在努力克服脑肿瘤immunosuppresson的机制,以便制定有效的新抗GBM免疫疗法13-19。这项工作的高潮已经导致了旨在评估组合的细胞毒性和免疫刺激治疗的患者初诊GBM(ClinicalTrials.gov标识符:NCT01811992)临床试验。

我们最近的工作表明,小鼠GL26和大鼠CNS-1 GBM细胞通过产生大量的β半乳糖苷结合凝集素半乳糖凝集素1(GAL-1)20块抗肿瘤NK细胞的免疫监视。这证明通过抑制加仑-1在神经胶质瘤细胞使用shRNA介导的基因敲除的表达。 体外 experimenTS表明加仑-1缺失神经胶质瘤细胞中培养正常增殖,但颅内植入进同源的C57BL / 6J或RAG1之后不久进行快速排斥– / -小鼠 ,从而建立T-或B细胞的独立性对这种形式的肿瘤排斥。 NK细胞免疫耗竭具有抗唾液酸GM 1抗血清或导致颅内GAL-1缺失的脑胶质瘤生长完全恢复单克隆抗体NK1.1,建立NK细胞GAL-1缺失的神经胶质瘤抑制的作用。我们现在表明的Gr-1 + / CD11b的+髓样细胞的免疫耗竭足以防止加仑-1缺失胶质瘤排斥尽管NK细胞的存在,从而揭示在NK介导的伽援用于骨髓细胞一个不可或缺的辅助作用的-1缺陷型肿瘤溶解(未公布的数据)。这一出人意料的结果使我们制定一个全面的协议,用于外周血单核细胞的分离和分析(外周血单个核细胞),其渗透到脑肿瘤微环境很快颅内植入后,让我们可以更好地表征,上游GAL-1缺失的胶质瘤抑制免疫渗透活动。

该方法是这里演示用鼠标GL26胶质瘤细胞组成性表达mCitrine荧光蛋白,叫GL26-CIT,它通过荧光显微镜21个州允许直接肿瘤细胞的可视化。这些细胞被立体定位植入进同源C57BL / 6J小鼠的脑和被允许之前小鼠安乐死生长24,48,或72小时。胶质瘤浸润的PBMC,然后分离和免疫标记使用抗-CD45,-GR-1,​​-CD11b和-NK1.1细胞表面的抗体与细胞内的免疫标记为颗粒酶B(GZMB)。这种特异性抗体的组合允许肿瘤浸润的Gr-1 + / CD11b的+髓样细胞的鉴定和NK1.1 + NK细胞,细胞类型,我们有bEEN牵连GAL-1缺失的肿瘤排斥。的GAL-1缺失GL26-CIT胶质瘤免疫浸润轮廓,这里称为GL26-CIT-gal1i,然后比较该胶质瘤表达加仑-1称为GL26-CIT-NT的正常水平,包含一非易失的针对对照shRNA的发夹。该协议开始于上GL26-CIT胶质瘤如何来培养细胞的说明在体外 ,随后是关于如何原位嫁接这些细胞进同源C57BL / 6J小鼠的纹状体的解释。然后,它前进到枚举涉及分离和胶质瘤浸润的PBMC用于流式细胞术分析的免疫标记的步骤。协议结尾标准数据分析和图形表示的解释。

该演示可以发现,GR-1 + / CD11b的+骨髓细胞和NK1.1 + NK细胞优先积累在48中的GAL-1缺失的脑肿瘤微环境中小时肿瘤植入,因此这有助于解释为什么这些肿瘤迅速进行完整的肿瘤溶解大约一周后的肿瘤植入20。该方法是很容易适应一些,其中对免疫渗入脑颞数据,需要在体内不同的实验设计。单个实验者可以从大脑收获执行协议流胶质瘤浸润的PBMC的流式细胞术分析在约4-6小时取决于待分析的样品的数目。该方法还可以用实验的目的是表征循环的PBMC在荷瘤小鼠对与那些渗入脑如此识别由肿瘤微环境特异性诱导的免疫抑制的表型比较的信息相结合。这和类似的方法应用应有助于更好地理解所涉及的外周免疫细胞贩运到大脑肿瘤微环境的因素。
