Summary

We demonstrate the procedure for intra-tracheal inoculation of Haemophilus influenzae into the lower respiratory tracts of mice. This is a very useful tool to study signaling pathways that regulate airway inflammation in mouse models.

Abstract

在这里,我们有效地描述的详细步骤和直接递送流感嗜血杆菌 到小鼠的下呼吸道。我们演示程序编制H.接种流感 ,H的内气管滴入流感进入肺,支气管肺泡灌洗液(BALF),BALF中的免疫细胞的分析,和RNA隔离差异基因表达分析的汇编。此过程可用于研究的任何细菌,病毒或真菌的肺部炎症反应。直接气管滴入被过度鼻内或气溶胶吸入程序大多优选的,因为它更有效地以较少的歧义开细菌接种到下呼吸道。

Introduction

炎症是针对传染剂的防御的基本免疫机制。它促进了消灭病原体和受损组织的修复。它还有助于恢复到正常的健康状态1。然而,失调炎症常常导致慢性炎症性疾病2。气道炎症是对于不同的肺部疾病,如慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD),哮喘和肺纤维化3的初始触发。

的不可分型(未包囊) 流感嗜血杆菌 (NTHi的)与慢性上下肺部炎性疾病4,5相关联。它是儿童和成人的下呼吸道分离慢性阻塞性肺疾病4,6,7的主导品种。的NTHi感染后的炎症反应的特征在于促炎性细胞因子(如TNF和IL-1β)的上调,并且它介导bý丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)和核因子-κB(NF-κB)通过toll样受体(TLR)8。

小鼠模型是用于分析的,因为不同的基因缺陷线的可用性肺部炎性疾病的潜在病理非常有用的工具。几种方法已被用于接种活的/减毒的细菌和细菌产物,包括鼻内滴注和雾化吸入9,10。在这里,我们表现出内气管滴入。虽然不经常使用的,这种方法是更有效的和高重现性的,因为到下呼吸道的直接递送接种物的。

Protocol

所有实验均按照贝勒研究院的机构动物护理和使用委员会(IACUC)的指导方针进行。 1.培养不可分型流感嗜血杆菌 (NTHi的),并准备接种在巧克力琼脂平板板的NTHi和在37℃和5%CO 2在加湿的 CO 2培养箱中保持板倒置过夜。翌日,培养在脑心脏浸液肉汤的细菌。然后,加入1毫升肉汤进入无菌1.5毫升管。 离心以4,000 xg离心在室温下5分…

Representative Results

气管内滴注导致BALF中( 图1A,左面板)比安装用盐水一个白血球数显着增加。白细胞的分类计数分析清楚地显示增加的中性粒细胞浸润( 图1,右图)。在BALF中的细胞的FACS分析进一步证实嗜中性粒细胞数量的增加( 图1B)。肺组织的H&E染色的切片的组织学分析显示增加的气道炎症( 图1C)。这些数据共同表明,气管内?…

Discussion

在此,我们描述了一个独特和微创手术用细菌肺病原体接种的小鼠的肺。我们证明,这个过程可用于研究是否可使用那些在炎症信号传导途径的基因缺陷小鼠不同基因的功能。这个过程也可以用来研究病毒和真菌的肺部感染的炎症反应。此过程在其他方法,例如鼻内或气溶胶吸入的优点是:(1)在此过程中,致病性接种物被直接滴注至下呼吸道; (2)来控制接种物大小的能力;和(3)减少细菌暴?…
