Tissue Cytometry and Cell-Cell Contact Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Images of the tissue specimens were acquired using the TissueFAXS platform (TissueGnostics). For quantitative analysis, the entire area of the tissue was acquired as a digital grayscale image in five channels with filter settings for FITC, Cy3, Cy5 and AF75 in addition to DAPI. Cells of a given phenotype were identified and quantitated using the TissueQuest software (TissueGnostics), with cut-off values determined relative to the positive controls. This microscopy-based multicolor tissue cytometry software permits multicolor analysis of single cells within tissue sections similar to flow cytometry. StrataQuest (TissueGnostics) software was also used to quantify cell-to-cell contact. In the StrataQuest cell-to-cell contact application, masks of the nuclei based on DAPI staining establish the inner boundary of the cytoplasm and the software “looks” outwards toward the plasma membrane boundary. The software looks for overlap of 2 cells in a 3-pixel distance from the nucleus boundary. If in this 3-pixel wide ring area, any pixel intersection of the 2 cells is required to establish a ‘‘contact’’ criterion. Although the software has been developed and validated more recently, the principle of the method and the algorithms used have been described in detail elsewhere.30 (link)

Images of the salivary gland specimens were acquired using the TissueFAXS platform (TissueGnostics). For quantitative analysis, the entire area of the tissue involved by the lymphoplasmacytic in-filtrate was acquired as digital grayscale images in four channels with filter settings for FITC, Cy3, and Cy5 in addition to DAPI. Cells of a given phenotype were identified and quantitated using Tissue-Quest software (TissueGnostics), with cutoff values determined relative to the positive controls. This microscopy-based multicolor tissue cytometry software permits multicolor analysis of single cells within tissue sections similar to flow cytometry. The principle of the method and the algorithms used have been described in detail elsewhere (Ecker & Steiner, 2004 (link)).

We purchased the glioma tissue array from Wuhan Tanda Scientific Co., Ltd. (NGL1021), with ethics approvement. SOX10 (Mouse, 1:100, Proteintech, China), CD163 (Rabbit, 1:3,000, Proteintech, China), and CD68 (Rabbit, 1:3,000, Servicebio, China) were the primary Abs. Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody incubation (GB23301, GB23303, Servicebio, China) was the secondary antibody. The tyramide signal was amplified into TSA [FITC-TSA, CY3-TSA, 594-TSA, and 647-TSA (Servicebio, China)]. The stained slides were scanned using the TissueFAXS platform (TissueGnostics, Vienna, Austria). The spatial analysis of the stained cells was performed using the StrataQuest software (TissueGnostics, Vienna, Austria).

The 5 um non-stained formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded slides were applied for immune staining. Paraffin sections were then placed in a 70°C paraffin oven for 1 hour, followed by deparaffinized in xylene and then rehydration. Ag was recovered with citric acid buffer (pH 6.0) in the oven for 60 minutes. Inactivate endogenous peroxidase by incubation in 3% H2O2 for 15 minutes. After preincubation with 10% normal goat serum to block nonspecific sites for 10 minutes, sections are incubated overnight with primary antibodies including anti-CD8 antibody (Abcam, cat.189926), anti-CD4 antibody (Abcam, cat.133616), anti-Anti-Osteopontin antibody (Abcam, cat.269411), anti-CD68 antibody (Abcam,cat.213363), anti-BCA1 (Abcam, cat.246518), and antibody CD19 (Abcam, cat.134114) in a humidified chamber at 4°C. Secondary HRP-conjugated antibodies were added and incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. For multicolored IHC analysis, fluorophore-conjugated TSA were used after incubation with secondary antibodies. After washing with PBS twice, the images were visualized using the TissueFAXS platform (TissueGnostics).

Multicolor Tissue Cytometry Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Images of the tissue specimens were acquired using the TissueFAXS platform (TissueGnostics). For quantitative analysis, the entire area of the tissue was acquired as a digital grayscale image in five channels with filter settings for FITC, Cy3, Cy5 and AF75 in addition to DAPI. Both in the lungs and in lymph nodes, we analyzed the entire area including airspaces such as alveoli, blood vessels and lymph vessels. Cells of a given phenotype were identified and quantitated using the TissueQuest software (TissueGnostics), with cut-off values determined relative to the positive controls. This microscopy-based multicolor tissue cytometry software permits multicolor analysis of single cells within tissue sections similar to flow cytometry. StrataQuest (TissueGnostics) software was also used to quantify cell-to-cell contact. In the StrataQuest cell-to-cell contact application, masks of the nuclei based on DAPI staining establish the inner boundary of the cytoplasm and the software “looks” outwards towards the plasma membrane boundary. Overlap of at least 3 pixels of adjacent cell markers is required to establish a “contact” criterion. Although the software has been developed and validated more recently, the principle of the method and the algorithms used have been described in detail elsewhere [35 (link)].

Evaluating Stem Cell Differentiation

We used the StemPro® Osteogenesis Differentiation Kit and StemPro® Adipogenesis Differentiation Kit from GibcoTM to test the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation capabilities of cells, respectively. We tested the differentiation capabilities of FGF21 MSCs and mCherry MSCs with and without labeling with 25 µg/mL of IO-MI NPs in medium without FBS supplementation at 37°C and 5% CO2. We followed the kit's manufacturer’s protocols to induce differentiation of cells. We tested cell differentiation into the osteogenic lineage by Alizarin Red S staining and into the adipogenic lineage by Oil Red O staining. Images were acquired using the TissueFAXS platform (TissueGnostics, Vienna, Austria) inverted microscope.

Tissue samples were obtained from whole SMGs14 (link) of 16 patients with IgG4-DS (see online supplementary E4) and 6 with CS (see online supplementary table E5) and from LSGs of 15 patients with active-SS (see online supplementary table E6) and 5 healthy controls (see online supplementary table E5).
These tissue samples were fixed in formalin, embedded in paraffin and sectioned. These specimens were incubated with antibodies to transforming growth factor -β1 (TGF-β1) (clone MAB246; R&D Systems), IFN-γ (clone sc-74108; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), GZMA (clone LS-C312742; LSBio), GATA3 (clone CM405A; Biocare), CD8 (clone ab85792; abcam) and CD4 (clone CM153A; Biocare) followed by incubation with secondary antibody using a SuperPicTure Polymer Detection Kit (Invitrogen) and an Opal 3-Plex Kit (Fluorescein, Cyanine3 and Cyanine5) (Perkin Elmer). The samples were mounted with ProLong antifade-containing 4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (Invitrogen). Images were acquired with the TissueFAXS platform (TissueGnostics).12 TissueFAXS is an analytical instrument that combines the advantages of multichannel microscopy and automated high-resolution imaging with the scientific accuracy of flow cytometry (http://www.bga.su/info/TissueFAXS).

Mice were killed on day 14 after treatments. Tumors were removed from mice and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) at 4°C. Paraffin-embedded tumor tissues were sectioned in 5 μm-thick slices by Bio-Check Laboratories Ltd (New Taipei City, Taiwan). Protein levels in tumor tissues were evaluated with IHC staining. The instructions provided with the kit were followed to perform IHC staining. The sectioned slices were immunohistochemically stained with MMP-9, VEGF, MCL-1, XIAP, C-FLIP, Cyclin-D1, anti-P-ERK, NF-κB p65 (Ser536), P-AKT (Ser473), Caspase-9, -8, and -3 antibodies respectively. The stained slides were scanned using the microscopy-based TissueFAXS platform (TissueGnostics, Vienna, Austria) and images were captured at 100× magnification [12 (link)]. ImageJ software version 1.50 (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, U.S.A.) was used to evaluate indices of positivity on IHC slides.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
