Article Title: CLEC5A and TLR2 are critical in SARS-CoV-2-induced NET formation and lung inflammation

doi: 10.1101/2022.02.01.478701

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a&b) Neutrophils (4 × 10 5 /ml) from healthy donors were incubated with SARS-CoV-2 (MOI = 1) with or without autologous platelets (4 × 10 6 /ml) for 5 h at 37 °C. The scale bar is 10 μm. The detailed structure of SARS-CoV-2-induced NET formation was observed under a confocal microscope (Leica). NET formation was visualized by fluorescent staining of DNA (blue), histone (green), and MPO (red) (a) . NETs level was measured by MetaMorph software and presented as Cit-H3 area (mm 2 ) (b) . (c) Human neutrophils (4 × 10 5 /ml) were pretreated with anti-hCLEC5A mAb (3E12A2, 100 μg/ml), anti-TLR2 mAb (# MAB2616, 100 μg/ml), or combination of both antibodies for 30 min at room temperature, followed by incubation with SARS-CoV-2 (MOI = 0.1 and 1) in the presence or absence of platelets (4 × 10 6 /ml) for 5 h and 20 h. The level of NET formation was determined by histone area (μm 2 ). (d) Neutrophils (4 × 10 5 /ml) from WT, clec5a -/- tlr2 -/- , and clec5a -/- tlr2 -/- mice were incubated with SARS-CoV-2 (MOI = 1) in the presence or absence of WT platelets (4 × 10 6 /ml) for 5 h at 37 °C. (e) Human neutrophils were pre-treated with anti-hCLEC5A mAb (3E12A2, 100 μg/ml), anti-TLR2 mAb (# MAB2616, 100 μg/ml), or combination of both antibodies for 30 min at room temperature, followed by incubation with SARS-CoV-2 spike pseudotyped virus (MOI = 0.1) in the presence or absence of autologous platelets (4 × 10 6 /ml) for 3 h. Data are mean ± SEM and repeats of 3 to 5 independent experiments. *p<0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 (Student’s t-test).

Figure Lengend Snippet: (a) EVs from healthy controls (HCs-EVs, n=5) and COVID-19 patients (COVID19-EVs, n=5) were harvested by ultracentrifugation, then lysed in RIPA solution before subjected to mass spectrometry analysis. Proteins expressed in COVID-19 EVs, but not in HCs EVs, were further analyzed using the QIAGEN Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (QIAGEN IPA) software. Proteins which were expressed in all the COVID19-EVs were displayed. (b&c) HCs-EVs (n=10) and COVID19-EVs (n=10) were analyzed by flow cytometry, and markers highly activated in COVID-19 platelets were expressed as a heat map (b) or by mean fluorescence intensity (c) . (d) Neutrophils were pre-incubated with anti-CLEC5A mAb (3E12A2, 100 μg/ml), anti-TLR2 mAb (# MAB2616, 100 μg/ml), or both anti-CLEC5A mAb (3E12A2, 100 μg/ml) and anti-TLR2 mAb (# MAB2616, 100 μg/ml), for 30 min at room temperature, followed by incubation with EVs (1 μg/ml) from COVID-19 patients (n=6) at 37°C for 3 h. Data are mean ± sd and repeats of at least three independent experiments. * p <0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001 (Student’s t -test).

Figure Lengend Snippet: C57BL/6 mice (WT) (n=3) and clec5a -/- tlr2 -/- mice (n=3)were inoculated with AAV-hACE2 for 14 days, followed by intranasal inoculation of SARS-CoV-2 (8 × 10 4 PFU/per mice). Tissues were collected at 3 days and 5 days post-infection. (a) The level of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines were measured by real-time PCR and presented as fold change (compared to AAV-hACE2 uninfected mice/mock). ( b-d) NET structure and thrombus were detected by Hoechst. 33342 (blue), anti-MPO antibody (green), anti-citrullinated histone H3 (red), anti-CD42b antibody (yellow) (b) , and images were captured by a confocal microscope and subjected to determine the area of MPO (c) and CD42b (d) using MetaMorph TM software. (e) Cell infiltrated to lung. Interstitial macrophage (interstitial MΦ) was defined as CD11b + CD64 + F4/80 + cells; monocyte-derived dendritic cell (DC)/macrophage (MΦ) was defined as CD11b + CD64 + Ly6C + ; Ly6C + monocyte was defined as Ly6C + . The cell number of each cell population was calculated using the multiple fluorescent staining image and analyzed by software MetaMorph TM , and the data was presented as cell number/ per 664225 (815 × 815). Scale bar is 200 μm. Data are represented as mean ± SEM. * p <0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001 (Student’s t -test).

Article Title: Human pluripotent stem cell-derived erythropoietin-producing cells ameliorate renal anemia in mice.

doi: 10.1126/scitranslmed.aaj2300

Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 8. Therapeutic effects of the transplantation of hiPSC- EPO–producing cells on renal anemia in adenine-treated mice. Renal anemia was in- duced using adenine treatment (50 mg/kg body weight daily for5weeks)inimmunodeficient mice (NOD.CB17-Prkdcscid/J mice). Twenty aggregates of hiPSC-EPO cells (5.0 × 105 cells per aggregate) were trans- planted into the kidney sub- capsules of mice with renal anemia. (A) Hematocrit was ex- amined during the first 4 weeks after transplantation using glass capillary tubes. (B) Human EPO concentrations in mouse serum at 4 weeks after transplanta- tionweremeasuredusingELISA. (C) Hematocrit was examined for up to 28 weeks after trans- plantation. The gray shaded areas in (A) and (C) indicate the normal hematocrit range in NOD.CB17-Prkdcscid/J mice. (D) Human EPO concentrations in mouse serum after trans- plantation were measured using ELISA. (E) The hiPSC-EPO– producing cell grafts were eval- uated using immunohisto- chemistry for EPO (green), AFP (red) and ALBUMIN (red) and using H&E staining. (F) The new vasculature in the grafts derived from host mice was examined by anti-mouse CD31/ PECAM-1 immunostaining and H&E staining. (G) The human EPO concentrations in host mouse serum after phlebotomy were measured using ELISA. The data from three independent experiments are means ± SEM; n = 6 for hiPSC-EPO–producing cells and saline in (A) and (B). The data from two independent experiments are means ± SEM; n = 4 for hiPSC-EPO cells and sa- line in (C), (D), and (G). *P < 0.05 versus control; ANOVA with Bonferroni’s test (A, C, D, and G) and Student’s t test (B).

Article Title: ImmunoPET: Concept, Design, and Applications

doi: 10.1021/acs.chemrev.9b00738

Figure Lengend Snippet: ImmunoPET imaging of ovarian cancers with a bispecific radiotracer 89Zr-DFO-REGN4018. (a) 89Zr-DFO-REGN4018 immunoPET/CT imaging of humanized tumor-bearing mice showed the distribution of the tracer to the spleen (yellow arrow), lymph nodes (green arrow), and tumor (red arrow). (b) Blocking with a MUC16 parental antibody reduced the tumor uptake of 89Zr-DFO-REGN4018 without influencing the spleen and lymph node uptake. (c) Blocking with an anti-CD3 antibody substantially reduced the spleen and lymph node uptake of 89Zr-DFO-REGN4018 without influencing the tumor uptake. Reproduced with permission from ref 604.

Article Snippet: ImmunoPET imaging with a 89 Zr-labeled antimouse CD3 antibody (clone 17A2; R&D Systems) revealed a correlation between high tumor uptake of the radiotracer and better therapeutic response of anticytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) therapy in a preclinical colorectal cancer model. 788 However, significant liver accumulation of the radiotracer was found on immunoPET images, which was explained as liver clearance of the radiolabeled antibody.
