Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 7. Expression of Neutrophil Elastase in M. tuberculosis-Infected Mouse Lung (A–C) (A and B) WT and Trpv4/mice were infected with M. tuberculosis (100 CFU) via aerosol, and 4-mm cryosections of lung tissue samples were prepared after days 55 and 150 p.i. Tissue sections were stained by fluorescence immunohistochemistry assay for neutrophil elastase (green). Images were acquired from three different zones of infection (field) from each mouse; Scale bar=20 mm). Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of neutrophil elastase staining was quantified by using Fiji ImageJ software. (C) Human lung tissue sections of patients with TB were stained for TRPV4 showing positive signals in polymorphonuclear neutrophils in a blood vessel at the site of infection (Scale bar of R1, R2 = 20 mm).

Article Snippet: Primary antibodies directed against Trpv4 (#ACC034, Alomone lab), Rab5 (#GTX108605, GeneTex), neutrophil elastase (#51-862, proSci- ELAN)were used in this study.

Figure Lengend Snippet: The graphs depicts the intensity of mucosal edema (buccal-lingual) in C57BL/6 WT (TLR2+/+) versus C57BL/6.TLR2−/− and C57BL/6 WT (B2R+/+) versus C57BL/6.B2R−/− mice that were inoculated 3 h earlier (mandibular anterior vestibule) with 30 µl of either P. gingivalis W83 wild-type (WT) strain, Rgps-deficient mutant (Δ Rgps) or the WT W83 bacteria pretreated with the Rgps inhibitor. Where indicated, the mice were pre-treated with HOE-140, prior to injection of the bacteria. A separate group of mice (C57BL/6 WT) were pretreated (18 h before bacteria injection) with 0.45 ml i.p. of a 1:10 dilution in PBS of rabbit antiserum to PMN or an equivalent volume of normal rabbit serum (control). The results (means ± SD) are representative of three independent experiments (n = 5 mice/group). Statistical differences between mean values were evaluated by ANOVA, and pair-wise comparisons were done by the Tukey test (*, p <0.01).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Levels of IFN-γ (A) and IL-17 (B) secreted by submandibular LN Ag-specific T cells isolated from Balb/C mice orally infected (bottom of the mandibular anterior vestibule) either with wild-type P. gingivalis W83 or the Δ Rgps strain. Where indicated, mice were pre-treated with HOE-140, 1 h before the injection. A separate group of mice were depleted of circulating neutrophils 18 h before infection with 0.45 ml i.p. of a 1:10 dilution in PBS of rabbit antiserum to PMN or an equivalent volume of normal rabbit serum (control). PMN-depleted mice were either challenged with P. gingivalis W83 or Δ Rgps strain. In a second scheme, PMN-depleted mice were infected with P. gingivalis (wild-type and Δ Rgps strains) combined to human purified kininogen (HK), pre-treated or not with HOE-140, as indicated. After 10 d, the infected mice were boosted with Fim Ag (1 µg/mouse). Submandibular LN T cells were recovered and stimulated with Fim Ag (100 ng/ml) in vitro. Culture supernatants were collected after 72 h and IFN-γ and IL-17 were quantified by ELISA. Statistical differences between mean values were evaluated by ANOVA, and pair-wise comparisons were done by the Tukey test (*, p <0.01).
