Isolation of murine hepatic myeloid cells with high yield and purity using immunomagnetic beads for subset analysis.

ABSTRACT: There are numerous established techniques for isolating hepatic myeloid cells; however, preserving their phenotypic and functional characteristics can be challenging. We present a straightforward and efficient method to isolate hepatic myeloid cells, including Kupffer cells and lymphocyte antigen 6 complex, locus C⁺ (Ly6C⁺) monocytes/macrophages. The procedure involves perfusion of the liver with collagenase and purification with immunomagnetic particles. This protocol ensures the isolation of large quantities of purified, viable, and functional cells without influencing their physiological characteristics. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Wu et al. (2019).¹.

Project description:Identification of matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBV) as ubiquitous components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) raises questions regarding their biologic functions and their potential theranostic application. Unlike liquid-phase extracellular vesicles (e.g., exosomes), MBV are tightly bound to the ECM, which makes their isolation and harvesting more challenging. The indiscriminate use of different methods to harvest MBV can alter or disrupt their structural and/or functional integrity. The objective of the present study was to compare the effect of various MBV harvesting methods upon yield, purity, and biologic activity. Combinations of four methods to solubilize the ECM (collagenase [COL], liberase [LIB], or proteinase K [PK] and nonenzymatic elution with potassium chloride) and four isolation methods (ultracentrifugation, ultrafiltration [UF], density barrier, and size exclusion chromatography [SEC]) were used to isolate MBV from urinary bladder-derived ECM. All combinations of solubilization and isolation methods allowed for the harvesting of MBV, however, distinct differences were noted. The highest yield, purity, cellular uptake, and biologic activity were seen with MBV isolated by a combination of liberase or collagenase followed by SEC. The combination of proteinase K and UF was shown to have detrimental effects on bioactivity. The results show the importance of selecting appropriate MBV harvesting methods for the characterization and evaluation of MBV and for analysis of their potential theranostic application. Impact statement Identification of matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBV) as ubiquitous components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) has raised questions regarding their biologic functions and their potential theranostic application. This study demonstrates that the harvesting methods used can result in samples with physical and biochemical properties that are unique to the isolation and solubilization methods used. Consequently, developing harvesting methods that minimize sample contamination with ECM remnants and/or solubilization agents will be essential in determining the theranostic potential of MBV in future studies.
