isolating invariant natural killer t cells from a mouse model

This video illustrates a method for isolating invariant natural killer T cells, also known as iNKT cells. The procedure begins with injecting a synthetic glycolipid into a mouse to stimulate the activation and proliferation of iNKT cells in the spleen. Subsequently, single-cell suspensions are prepared from the spleen and incubated with iNKT-cell-recognizing complexes labeled with fluorophores, followed by magnetic bead-based separation, to isolate the iNKT cells.

1. ...

Begin by intraperitoneally injecting a synthetic glycolipid into a mouse.
Antigen-presenting cells, or APCs, internalize the glycolipid and present it via the non-classical MHC molecule CD1d.
The APCs migrate to the spleen and interact with the invariant natural killer T cells or iNKT cells, inducing iNKT cell activation and proliferation.
Harvest the spleen. Mechanically dissociate it to generate a single-cell suspension.
Transfer the cells to a tube. Add a density gradient medium and centrifuge to separate the lymphocytes.
Collect the lymphocytes. Add glycolipid antigen-loaded fluorophore-labeled CD1d tetramers that interact with the iNKT cells.
Remove unbound tetramers. Overlay with magnetic microbeads that bind to the tetramer-linked fluorophores.
Remove unbound beads and load the cell suspension onto a magnetic column.
Under the magnetic field, the bead-bound iNKT cells are retained in the column while the remaining cells flow through.
Remove the column from the magnetic field. Add an elution buffer to elute the iNKT cells.

An Optimized Method for Isolating and Expanding Invariant Natural Killer T Cells from Mouse Spleen

The ability to rapidly secrete cytokines upon stimulation is a functional characteristic of the invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell lineage. iNKT cells are therefore characterized as an innate T cell population capable of activating and steering adaptive immune responses. The development of improved techniques for the culture and expansion of murine iNKT cells facilitates the study of iNKT cell biology in in vitro and in vivo model systems. Here we describe an optimized procedure for the isolation and expansion of murine splenic iNKT cells.
Spleens from C57Bl/6 mice are removed, dissected and strained and the resulting cellular suspension is layered over density gradient media. Following centrifugation, splenic mononuclear cells (MNCs) are collected and CD5-positive (CD5+) lymphocytes are enriched for using magnetic beads. iNKT cells within the CD5+ fraction are subsequently stained with &#945;GalCer-loaded CD1d tetramer and purified by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). FACS sorted iNKT cells are then initially cultured in vitro using a combination of recombinant murine cytokines and plate-bound T cell receptor (TCR) stimuli before being expanded in the presence of murine recombinant IL-7. Using this technique, approximately 108 iNKT cells can be generated within 18-20 days of culture, after which they can be used for functional assays in vitro, or for in vivo transfer experiments in mice.

Here we present an adapted protocol that can be used to generate a large number of murine invariant natural killer T cells from mouse spleen. The protocol outlines an approach by which splenic iNKT cells can be enriched for, isolated and expanded in vitro using a limited number of animals and reagents.

Integrate Imaging Flow Cytometry and Transcriptomic Profiling to Evaluate Altered Endocytic CD1d Trafficking

Populational analyses of the morphological and functional alteration of endocytic proteins are challenging due to the demand of image capture at a single cell level and statistical image analysis at a populational level. To overcome this difficulty, we used imaging flow cytometry and transcriptomic profiling (RNA-seq) to determine altered subcellular localization of the cluster of differentiation 1d protein (CD1d) associated with impaired endocytic gene expression in human dendritic cells (DCs), which were exposed to the common lipophilic air pollutant benzo[a]pyrene. The colocalization of CD1d and endocytic marker Lamp1 proteins from thousands of cell images captured with imaging flow cytometry was analyzed using IDEAS and ImageJ-Fiji programs. Numerous cellular images with co-stained CD1d and Lamp1 proteins were visualized after gating on CD1d+Lamp1+ DCs using IDEAS. The enhanced CD1d and Lamp1 colocalization upon BaP exposure was further demonstrated using thresholded scatterplots, tested with Mander&#39;s coefficients for co-localized intensity, and plotted based on the percentage of co-localized areas using ImageJ-Fiji. Our data provide an advantageous instrumental and bioinformatic approach to measure protein colocalization at both single and populational cellular levels, supporting an impaired functional outcome of transcriptomic alteration in pollutant-exposed human DCs.

Imaging flow cytometry provides an ideal approach to detect the morphological and functional alteration of cells at individual and populational levels. Disrupted endocytic function for lipid antigen presentation in pollutant-exposed human dendritic cells was demonstrated with a combined transcriptomic profiling of gene expression and morphological demonstration of protein trafficking.

Purification and Expansion of Mouse Invariant Natural Killer T Cells for in vitro and in vivo Studies

Invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) cells are innate-like T Lymphocytes expressing a conserved semi-invariant T cell receptor (TCR) specific for self or microbial lipid antigens presented by the non-polymorphic MHC class I-related molecule CD1d. Preclinical and clinical studies support a role for iNKT cells in cancer, autoimmunity and infectious diseases. iNKT cells are very conserved throughout species and their investigation has been facilitated by mouse models, including CD1d-deficient or iNKT-deficient mice, and the possibility to unequivocally detect them in mice and men with CD1d tetramers or mAbs specific for the semi-invariant TCR. However, iNKT cells are rare and they need to be expanded to reach manageable numbers for any study. Because the generation of primary mouse iNKT cell line in vitro has proven difficult, we have set up a robust protocol to purify and expand splenic iNKT cells from the iV&#945;14-J&#945;18 transgenic mice (iV&#945;14Tg), in which iNKT cells are 30 times more frequent. We show here that primary splenic iV&#945;14Tg iNKT cells can be enriched through an immunomagnetic separation process, yielding about 95-98% pure iNKT cells. The purified iNKT cells are stimulated by anti-CD3/CD28 beads plus IL-2 and IL-7, resulting in 30-fold expansion by day +14 of the culture with 85-99% purity. The expanded iNKT cells can be easily genetically manipulated, providing an invaluable tool to dissect mechanisms of activation and function in vitro and, more importantly, also upon adoptive transfer in vivo.

We describe a rapid and robust protocol to enrich invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells from mouse spleen and expand them in vitro to suitable numbers for in vitro and in vivo studies.
