Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Schematic depicts the supported lipid bilayer system used to study phagocytosis. Silica beads are coated with a supported lipid bilayer containing fluorescent atto647 lipids. Anti-biotin IgG binds to biotinylated lipids in the bilayer. 10xHis-tagged CD47 extracellular domain is attached to beads via a Ni 2+ -chelating DGS-NTA lipid, so that the SIRPα binding domain is positioned outwards. (B) Beads (magenta) conjugated with IgG or IgG+CD47 were incubated with mouse bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) expressing membrane tethered GFP (GFP-CAAX; green) for 30 minutes then imaged with confocal microscopy. The average number of beads engulfed per macrophage was counted and normalized to the maximum average number of beads engulfed per macrophage for that experiment to control for batch to batch variability in macrophage appetite. (C) Schematic depicts the stages of phagocytosis: target particle binding, initiation of phagocytosis, and completion (phagocytic cup closure). (D) Representative images of each stage. BMDMs are expressing GFP-CAAX (green, top; greyscale, bottom) and the bead supported lipid bilayer is labeled with atto647 (magenta, top). Box in the top panel shows area of inset below. Timelapse confocal microscopy was used to quantify the fraction of beads bound to a macrophage (E); the time from binding to initiation of phagocytosis, if it occurred (F); the fraction of bound beads that proceed to the initiation step (G); the engulfment time, which is the time from initiation to completion, if it completed (H); and the fraction of beads that proceeded from the initiation to completion (I). For (F) and (H), the large filled data points represent the mean of an independent replicate, while the smaller unfilled data points of the same shape indicate individual cells quantified on the same day for that replicate. For (B) each dot represents an independent replicate composed of at least 100 macrophages per condition; data was compared using an unpaired t test. For (E)-(I) each independent replicate composed of at least 15 engulfment events. The means from four independent replicates were compared using an unpaired t test. In all graphs, bars denote the mean ± SEM. * denotes p<0.05, ** denotes p<0.005, *** denotes p<0.0005. Scale bars are 10µm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Timelapse images show reaching phagocytosis of an IgG bead target by a BMDM. White arrowheads point to extension of phagocyte membrane (GFP-CAAX, green) out around the target (atto647 lipid; magenta). White arrow denotes subsequent closure of the phagocytic cup while the bead remains outside the phagocyte cortex. Images correspond to Video S1 (B) Timelapse images show sinking phagocytosis of IgG+CD47 bead. Yellow arrows show closure of the phagocytic cup when the bead is within the macrophage. Images correspond to Video S2. (C) Graph depicts the fraction of successful phagocytosis that occurred via sinking phagocytosis based on the apparent morphology in timelapse confocal microscopy data. (D) Graph depicts the position of the bead centroid relative to the phagocyte cortex when phagocytosis was completed. (E) Graph depicts the fraction of retracted reaching cups out of the total number of initiated reaching cups. Retracted cups were defined as cases in our timelapse data set where membrane extensions grew around the target but were subsequently disassembled. (F) Images show an example of failed reaching phagocytosis of an IgG+CD47 bead. White arrowheads highlight extension of the macrophage membrane, which is subsequently retracted. Images correspond to Video S3. For (C) and (E), the averages from four independent experiments were plotted and compared using an unpaired t test. Bars represent the mean ± SEM. For (D), each data point represents an individual bead ( n =60 targets per condition from 4 independent experiments), and data was compared using an unpaired t test. ** denotes p<0.005, *** denotes p<0.0005. Scale bars are 10µm.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (A, B) BMDMs were incubated with IgG or IgG+CD47 beads then fixed and stained with 488 phalloidin (greyscale) to visualize F-actin during phagocytosis. Enrichment of F-actin at late-stage (>50% completed) phagocytic cup rims was measured by comparing the mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of phalloidin at the cup rim (red dot) to the MFI of phalloidin at the cell cortex (blue line). Bead position is indicated with a dashed yellow line. (B) Graph depicts data quantification described in (A). The large filled data points represent the mean of an independent replicate, while the smaller unfilled data points of the same shape indicate individual cells collected on that day for that replicate. Dashed line at 1 corresponds to no F-actin enrichment at cup rims. (C) BMDMs were treated with pharmacological inhibitors of Rac and Cdc42 (NSC23766 and MBQ-167) or Rho (C3 transferase) for 24 hours, then incubated with IgG, IgG+CD47, or unopsonized supported lipid bilayer coated beads. Phagocytosis was measured by confocal microscopy. The average number of beads phagocytosed was normalized to the maximum phagocytosis in that replicate. (D) BMDMs were treated with pharmacological inhibitors of Rac and Cdc42 (NSC23766 and MBQ-167) or Rho (C3 transferase) for 24 hours, then the inhibitors were removed and replaced with fresh media. WT or CD47 KO mouse L1210 leukemia cells were dyed with CellTrace Far Red then opsonized with an anti-murine CD20 monoclonal antibody and added to the BMDMs. Phagocytosis was monitored for 10 hours via timelapse microscopy. The percent of BMDMs that engulfed was quantified, and data was normalized to maximum for that experiment. For (B), the means of 4 independent experiments were compared using an unpaired t test. For (C) and (D), each data point represents an independent experiment including quantification of at least 100 macrophages. Data was compared using one-way ANOVA with Holm Sidak multiple comparison test. In all graphs, bars represent the mean ± SEM. * denotes p<0.05, ** denotes p<0.005, *** denotes p<0.0005, **** denotes p<0.00005. Scale bars are 10µm.

doi: 10.1002/adhm.202303267

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic illustration of MAC CCR2+MerTK CR ‐Lipo PEP‐20 as a potential candidate to reconstruct efferocytosis post‐MI/R injury. A) Fabrication of MAC CCR2+MerTK CR ‐Lipo PEP‐20 . B) After intravenous injection, MAC CCR2+MerTK CR ‐Lipo PEP‐20 selectively migrates to the site of cardiac injury through the overexpressed CCR2. The overexpressed MerTK CR on MAC CCR2+MerTK CR ‐Lipo PEP‐20 remains intact and recognizes phosphatidylserine through Gas6 (growth arrest specific 6) or ProS (protein S) bridging, thereby executing efferocytosis function. The anchored PEP‐20 on MAC CCR2+MerTK CR ‐Lipo PEP‐20 is explosively released in response to ROS stimulation, which further enhances the efferocytosis capacity of adoptive macrophages and resident macrophages by antagonizing CD47 on apoptotic cells. C) The cardiac benefits of improved efferocytosis are achieved through inhibiting initiation and promoting active resolution of inflammation.
