与碘酸雪夫染色检测糖原的外周血单个核细胞
概要
Periodic acid Schiff staining is a technique that visualizes the polysaccharide content of tissues. This article demonstrates periodic acid Schiff staining protocol adapted for use on peripheral blood mononuclear cells purified from human venous blood. Such samples are enriched for lymphocytes and other white blood cells of the immune system.
Abstract
Periodic acid Schiff (PAS) staining is an immunohistochemical technique used on muscle biopsies and as a diagnostic tool for blood samples. Polysaccharides such as glycogen, glycoproteins, and glycolipids stain bright magenta making it easy to enumerate positive and negative cells within the tissue. In muscle cells PAS staining is used to determine the glycogen content in different types of muscle cells, while in blood cell samples PAS staining has been explored as a diagnostic tool for a variety of conditions. Blood contains a proportion of white blood cells that belong to the immune system. The notion that cells of the immune system possess glycogen and use it as an energy source has not been widely explored. Here, we describe an adapted version of the PAS staining protocol that can be applied on peripheral blood mononuclear immune cells from human venous blood. Small cells with PAS-positive granules and larger cells with diffuse PAS staining were observed. Treatment of samples with amylase abrogates these patterns confirming the specificity of the stain. An alternate technique based on enzymatic digestion confirmed the presence and amount of glycogen in the samples. This protocol is useful for hematologists or immunologists studying polysaccharide content in blood-derived lymphocytes.
Introduction
碘酸希夫（PAS）染色是一种免疫组织化学技术，被广泛用于肌肉研究和诊断。它也被用来作为对血样的诊断工具。该技术的工作原理是将高碘酸溶液的样品，其氧化，与无色希夫氏试剂，从而产生了深刻的品红产物反应的多糖产生醛基内单元。这个过程的步骤显示在图1的染色变为与多糖品红，包括糖原，糖蛋白，糖脂，粘蛋白，或其它分子与多糖部分任何东西。
PAS染色常常用于测量肌肉纤维糖原水平。肌肉组织切片是理想的，因为他们牢牢地固定在滑板和承受多次洗涤和染色步骤的技术。糖原是最存在于快肌II型肌纤维，它具有高的需求快速ATP生产要求糖原的最高性能1,2。糖原是葡萄糖的支链聚合物，可以通过对糖原磷酸酶的作用被分解成游离葡萄糖。在休息和营养自足倍，糖原通过糖原的过程中补充，而在营养不足或高能量需求的时间;糖原是由糖原分解分解成葡萄糖。从早在1950年的临床科学家们探索的血样PAS染色法来分析各种疾病3-7糖原含量。例如，在蓬珀病-一个真实糖原贮积无病白细胞积累大量糖原，从健康对照8显著不同的。
此视频文章演示了PAS染色的外周血单个核细胞（PBMC）从健康人的静脉血样使用改编版。 PBM铯包含大多淋巴细胞T淋巴细胞和B淋巴细胞的家庭，以及其他免疫细胞如自然杀伤细胞和单核细胞。第一纯化步骤除去红细胞，嗜中性粒细胞，和其它粒细胞。该技术提供了对淋巴细胞允许PAS阳性细胞的更健壮的枚举，相比使用全血涂片的浓缩比例的数据。

这个视频文章的关键步骤是在洗涤和淀粉酶处理的细胞。而洗涤载玻片，关键步骤是使用塑料挤压瓶洗涤并让水通过幻灯片上的样品轻轻地运行，并没有直接瞄准到样品。即使是最轻微的直接供水压力会导致细胞脱落的幻灯片。另一个关键步骤是使用相同的幻灯片±淀粉酶的条件。后的PBMC附着到滑动，滑动小心地放入烧杯所以只有一半的涂片的暴露于淀粉酶溶液。此步骤提供了一个强大的控制，?…
