18. Uptake of SPIO by murine peritoneal
macrophages and monocytes
• Normal mice were treated with mineral oil
by ip injection.
• 24 hours later, equal amount of various
SPIO were injected intraperitoneally.
• 24 hours later, peritoneal macrophages and
monocytes were isolated.
• Uptakes of various SPIO were examined by
light microscopy.
19. Uptake by Mouse Macrophages
SPIO coated with standard Dextran
(6 K)
41. Principle
• Any event of phagocytosis is immediately
followed by a transient release of super oxide due
to the assembly of the NADPH oxidase against the
plasma membrane. Subsequently the oxidase
translocates onto the phagosomes containing the
SPIO to produce intracellular ROS.
• Thus an early extra cellular secretion of super
oxide is detectable (using luminol) soon after
phagocytosis and a later event of intracellular
secretion is measurable using DCFDA dye .
42. Detection of macrophage
viability after ROS production
• Viable macrophages convert the Alamar
blue dye into an orange colored product
measurable in a Elisa reader. AB is a widely
used method to measure viability.
• The hypothesis we are testing is that cells
that make ROS may die and lose viability.
Thus if SPIO stimulates ROS within the
cells does it lead to cell death over time ??
43. Method
∀ • The suspension of SPIO (1.25-10 micromol/mL)
was added to macrophages (1x104
/well in 96 well
plates). Cells were incubated for 1 h or 24 h and
washed to remove extracellular SPIO. For each
dose three wells were tested.
∀ • AB dye at 20% volume was added to the
macrophage plate and incubated for 4 h at 37o
C
and 5% Co2. They were read for viability using
an Elisa at 570 nm
44. Results
• Both SPIO treated as well as untreated
macrophages had same level of viability as
shown in the following slide at 24 h post
SPIO treatment.
