Project description:Clinical use of intraoperative auto-transfusion requires the removal of platelets and plasma proteins due to the pump-based suction and water-soluble anticoagulant administration, which causes dilutional coagulopathy. Herein, we develop a carboxylated and sulfonated heparin-mimetic polymer-modified sponge that could spontaneously adsorb blood (1.149 kg/m-2 s-1/2) along with instantaneous anticoagulation. We demonstrate that intrinsic coagulation factors (especially XI) are inactivated by adsorption to the sponge surface, while inactivation of thrombin in the sponge-treated plasma effectively inhibits the common coagulation pathway. Benefiting from the multiple inhibitory effects of sponge on coagulation enzymes and calcium depletion, the whole blood auto-transfusion in trauma-induced hemorrhage is unprecedentedly realized. The transfusion of collected blood favors faster recovery of hemostasis compared to traditional heparinized blood in an animal model. Our work not only develops a safe and convenient approach for whole blood auto-transfusion, but also provides the mechanism of action of self-anticoagulant heparin-mimetic polymer-modified surfaces.

Project description:Blood-contacting medical implants made of Nitinol and other titanium alloys, such as neurovascular flow diverters and peripheral stents, have the disadvantage of being highly thrombogenic. This makes the use of systemic (dual) anti platelet / anticoagulant therapies inevitable with related risks of device thrombosis, bleeding and other complications. Meeting the urgent clinical demand for a less thrombogenic Nitinol surface, we describe here a treatment of standard, commercially available Nitinol that renders its surface ultra-hydrophilic and functionalized with phosphate ions. The efficacy of this treatment was assessed by comparing standard and surface-treated Nitinol disks and braids, equivalent to flow diverters. Static and dynamic (Chandler loop) blood incubation tests showed a drastic reduction of thrombus formation on treated devices. Surface chemistry and proteomic analysis indicated a key role of phosphate and calcium ions in steering blood protein adsorption and avoiding coagulation cascade activation and platelet adhesion. A good endothelialization of the surface confirmed the biocompatibility of the treated surface.

Project description:Maintenance of central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis requires tight regulation over the metabolites, drugs, cells, and pathogens entering the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) carries out these functions, but the regulatory mechanisms underlying BBB physiology are not completely understood. In addition, the BBB has long been an obstacle to the pharmacologic treatment of CNS diseases, thus molecular model systems that can parse BBB functions and understand the complex integration of sophisticated cellular anatomy and highly polarized chemical protection physiology are desperately needed. In this study, we developed FACS isolation methods for the purification of the surface glia that form the Drosophila BBB. By comparing the transcriptomes (via microarray analyses) of surface glia, FACS isolated neurons, and whole brains, we present a complete catalog of transcripts enriched at the Drosophila BBB. The surface glia transcriptome contains many ABC and SLC transporters, cell adhesion molecules, xenobiotic metabolism pathways, metabolic enzymes, and signaling molecules. Using gene set enrichment analyses and sequence-based comparisons, we compare the Drosophila surface glia to the vertebrate vascular endothelial BBB.

Project description:Basophils are blood leukocytes associated to Th2 responses and allergy reactions primarily through the IgE bound to their surface throught the Fc Epsilon hifh affinity receptor. Soluble IgD is an enigmatic antibody isotype whose function remains elusive. We have characterised the presence of this antibody isotype on the surface of basophils where we hypothesise that it plays a role in Th2 responses and allergy reactions.

Project description:Analysis of the surfaceome of a blood cell subset requires cell sorting, followed by surface protein enrichment. Here, we present a protocol combining magnetically activated cell sorting (MACS) and surface biotinylation of the target cell subset from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). We describe the steps for isolating target cells and their in-column surface biotinylation, followed by isolation and mass spectrometry analysis of biotinylated proteins. The protocol enables in-column surface biotinylation of specific cell subsets with minimal membrane disruption.

Project description:Purpose: Validate HiChIP-identified long-range chromatin interactions at the TFAP2C locus, in a viewpoint-specific manner. Methods: UMI-4C libraries targeting 3 individual viewpoints at the TFAP2C locus were generated in duplicate, in surface ectoderm cells with and without p63. Replicates were sequenced on Illumina NextSeq sequencer, and reads were aligned and filtered for valid long-range interactions using HiCPro. Results: Dynamic long-range interactions at the TFAP2C locus were detected with and without p63 in surface ectoderm cells. Conclusion: Long-range interactions detected via HiChIP were confirmed in the surface ectoderm by this technique, validating the HiChIP method through an orthogonal approach.

Project description:The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an evolutionary conserved tissue interface that possesses potent chemical protection properties functioning to strictly modulate the central nervous system (CNS) microenvironment. These same properties, including tight cellular junctions and efflux transporters, also limit access of CNS-active pharmaceuticals. For this reason, understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate BBB chemical protection is of great biomedical interest. The BBB of Drosophila consists of two surface glia layers that completely surround the brain. This tissue interface contains both “tight” cellular junctions (termed septate junctions) and drug efflux transporters; thus, the Drosophila BBB can potentially serve as a model for understanding complex regulation of BBB physiology. In this study, we show reciprocal compensatory responses following disruption of critical BBB genes: deletion of the septate junction regulator Moody causes increased drug efflux and up-regulation of the P-glycoprotein ortholog Mdr65; conversely, disruption of Mdr65 expression causes increased septate junction tightness and up-regulation of Moody. We reveal these homeostatic interactions with physiologic observations, gene expression data, and anatomical images of the BBB surface. Whole brain microarray data point to responses that are consistent with our physiologic observations and these responses are likely localized to the BBB. To our knowledge, this is the first observation of a reciprocal compensatory interaction at a tissue barrier. Furthermore, this study paves the way for future studies elucidating the direct pathways that link GPCR signaling and drug transporter regulation at the BBB. The main comparisons are between WT_new, C17 (Moody null), and PMdr65 (Mdr65 null). Since WT_new were processed on a different day than C17 and PMdr65, we also included another WT sample (WT_old) to control for genes that change depending on batch effects. Since the mutants are also in a different genetic background than WT, we also included a control that is in a similar background (UAS_control).
