New trends in immunotherapy? How to dynamically observe the "phagocytic" behavior of macrophages?

I. Introduction

Recently, the US FDA has approved Novartis's CAR-T therapy, Kymriah, and the prospect of cancer immunotherapy is broad. However, the current direction of most immunotherapy is still focused on T cell regulation: either through T cell gene editing, such as CAR-T treatment; or through immune checkpoint inhibition, restore T cell killing ability to cancer cells, Kymriah's listing And recent clinical success stories have greatly supported research in this area. However, we can also study immune cells and their functions in many other ways. For example , the function and application of macrophages in tumor cell clearance has received much attention.

Second, the lecture introduction

This lecture describes the use of IncuCyte "Viable Cell Dynamic Imaging and Analysis System" , combined with IncuCyte "pHrodo Red Cell Labeling Kit" to observe dynamic live cell phagocytosis experiments, including the principle of cell labeling, the effect of drugs on "phagocytosis", experimental verification And supplemental phenotypic experiments. Anti-CD47 antibody was demonstrated as a potential novel immunotherapeutic drug that mediates the phagocytosis of cancer cells by macrophages.

Third, the experimental principle

IncuCyte "pHrodo Red Cell Labeling Kit" can label target cells with pH-sensitive probes . When these cells are in culture, the probes do not produce fluorescence. However, when they are phagocytosed by phagocytic cells, they enter a lower pH phagolysosome, which can significantly increase the fluorescence of the probe. The video on the right shows that larger elongated macrophages are phagocytizing smaller target cells. After the target cells are phagocytosized, the red fluorescence in the macrophages is enhanced and the IncuCyte live cell dynamic imaging is built into the incubator. The Analytical System detects the number of cells that emit red fluorescence and performs dynamic imaging and data analysis of the phagocytic process.

V. Automated live cell dynamic analysis

At present, most of the cell detection methods still belong to the traditional end point method - only the final result is given. This method can not only dynamically monitor and analyze the whole process of cell experiments, but also obtain biased results. In order to be able to observe live cells throughout the process, Essen has developed the IncuCyte “Viable Cell Dynamic Imaging and Analysis System” built into the incubator, inside the incubator, and simultaneously on 6 cell culture dishes/bottles/microplates (6- 384-well) for long-term dynamic imaging, recording real-time changes in cell morphology details, and transforming into a variety of cell-related time-quantitative curves through powerful image analysis software.
