Impaired Kupffer Cell Self-Renewal Alters the Liver Response to Lipid Overload during Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis
2020
International audience; Kupffer cells (KCs) are liver-resident macrophages that self-renew by proliferation in the adult independently from monocytes. However, how they are maintained during non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remains ill defined. We found that a fraction of KCs derived from Ly-6C+ monocytes during NASH, underlying impaired KC self-renewal. Monocyte-derived KCs (MoKCs) gradually seeded the KC pool as disease progressed in a response to embryo-derived KC (EmKC) death. Those MoKCs were partly immature and exhibited a pro-inflammatory status compared to EmKCs. Yet, they engrafted the KC pool for the long term as they remained following disease regression while acquiring matur…
Flow cytometry and spectral imaging multiphoton microscopy analysis of CD36 expression with quantum dots 605 of untreated and 7-ketocholesterol-treat…
2006
To evaluate CD36 expression with quantum dots 605 (QDs 605) on untreated and 7-ketocholesterol (7KC)-treated monocytic U937 cells by flow cytometry (FCM) and confocal and multiphoton laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).Cells were analyzed by CLSM, following flow cytometric quantification of CD36 expression and 7KC uptake. Image sequences were obtained by spectral analysis in monophoton and multiphoton CLSM and analyzed by the factor analysis of medical image sequences (FAMIS) algorithm to differentiate emission spectra. In CLSM analysis, cell deposits were screened in ultraviolet excitation modes to optimize the possibilities of QDs 605 and have the benefit of nuclei counterstaining by DAPI.FC…
FRET multiphoton spectral imaging microscopy of 7-ketocholesterol and Nile Red in U937 monocytic cells loaded with 7-ketocholesterol.
2004
To show the effect of 7-ketocholesterol (7KC) on cellular lipid content by means of flow cytometry and the interaction of 7KC with Nile Red (NR) via ultraviolet fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) excitation of NR on U937 monocytic cells by means of 2-photon excitation confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).Untreated and 7KC-treated U937 cells were stained with NR and analyzed by flow cytometry and CLSM. 3D sequences of images were obtained by spectral analysis in a 2-photon excitation CLSM and analyzed by the factor analysis of medical image sequences (FAMIS) algorithm, which provides factor curves and images. Factor images are the result of the FAMIS image processing method, …
Integrating genome-wide genetic variations and monocyte expression data reveals trans-regulated gene modules in humans.
2011
One major expectation from the transcriptome in humans is to characterize the biological basis of associations identified by genome-wide association studies. So far, few cis expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) have been reliably related to disease susceptibility. Trans-regulating mechanisms may play a more prominent role in disease susceptibility. We analyzed 12,808 genes detected in at least 5% of circulating monocyte samples from a population-based sample of 1,490 European unrelated subjects. We applied a method of extraction of expression patterns—independent component analysis—to identify sets of co-regulated genes. These patterns were then related to 675,350 SNPs to identify maj…
