Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Peritonitis is a severe inflammatory condition where myeloid cells play a key role.
  • The dynamic behavior of circulating myeloid cells in peritonitis remains poorly understood.
  • In vivo flow cytometry (IVFC) is an established technique for monitoring circulating tumor cells but less utilized for immune cells.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt and apply in vivo flow cytometry (IVFC) for monitoring circulating myeloid cells in a mouse model of peritonitis.
  • To investigate the dynamics of myeloid cells, particularly neutrophils, during tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α-induced peritonitis.
  • To explore the role of CD18 in neutrophil recruitment during peritonitis.

Main Methods:

  • Adaptation of intravital microscopy for IVFC to monitor LysM-EGFP-labeled myeloid cells.
  • Induction of peritonitis using intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of TNFα in mice.
  • Quantification of circulating cell concentration, blood flow velocity, and neutrophil CD64 expression using IVFC and conventional cytometry.
  • Assessment of CD18 blockade's effect on circulating neutrophil numbers.

Main Results:

  • IVFC successfully monitored circulating LysM-EGFP+ myeloid cells in a TNFα-induced peritonitis model.
  • A significant, rapid increase in circulating neutrophils was observed post-TNFα injection, peaking around 20 minutes.
  • Neutrophil CD64 expression increased significantly during peritonitis.
  • CD18 blockade doubled circulating neutrophils, highlighting its critical role in peritonitis-related recruitment.

Conclusions:

  • In vivo flow cytometry (IVFC) is a valuable tool for studying the dynamics of circulating immune cells during inflammatory conditions like peritonitis.
  • TNFα induces rapid changes in circulating neutrophil populations and expression of activation markers.
  • CD18 is essential for neutrophil recruitment in the context of peritonitis.
