Comprehensive assessment of chemokine expression profiles by flow cytometry.

ABSTRACT: The chemokines are a large family of mainly secreted molecules involved in the regulation of numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes. Despite many years of investigation, the precise cellular sources of most chemokines have remained incompletely defined as a consequence of the limited availability of suitable reagents to visualize the expression of chemokine proteins at the single-cell level. Here, we developed a simple flow cytometry-based assay using commercially available chemokine-specific antibodies for efficient cell-associated detection of 37 of 39 murine chemokines. To demonstrate the utility of this methodology, we used it to reevaluate the nature of homeostatic chemokines in the hematopoietic compartment, to delineate the complete chemokine profiles of NK cells and B cells in response to major polyclonal stimuli, and to assess the chemokine response of DCs to bacterial infection. The versatility of this analytical methodology was further demonstrated by its application to selected human chemokines and should greatly facilitate any future investigation into chemokine biology at large.

Human Bone Marrow Assessment by Single Cell RNA Sequencing, Mass Cytometry and Flow Cytometry [scRNA]

Project description:New techniques for single-cell analysis have led to insights into hematopoiesis and the immune system, but the ability of these techniques to cross-validate and reproducibly identify the biological variation in diverse human samples is currently unproven. We therefore performed a comprehensive assessment of human bone marrow cells using both single-cell RNA sequencing and multiparameter flow cytometry from twenty healthy adult human donors across a broad age range. These data characterize variation between healthy donors as well as age-associated changes in cell population frequencies. Direct comparison of techniques revealed discrepancy in the quantification of T lymphocyte and natural killer cell populations. Orthogonal validation of immunophenotyping using mass cytometry demonstrated good correlation with flow cytometry. Technical replicates using single-cell RNA sequencing matched robustly, while biological replicates showed variation. Given the increasing use of single-cell technologies in translational research, this resource serves as an important reference dataset and highlights opportunities for further refinement.

Antigen profiles for the quantitative assessment of eosinophils in mouse tissues by flow cytometry.

Project description:Much of our current understanding of eosinophil-associated pathologies has developed from the use of mouse models. While mouse eosinophils can be readily detected by flow cytometric methods, most studies do not document the efficiency of this process compared to direct counting of stained cells. Our intent was to address this knowledge gap by identifying one or more eosinophil-specific antigen profiles that yielded flow cytometric data that was statistically consistent with direct counts. We found that anti-CD193 (CCR3) and anti-CD125 (IL-5R?) antibodies were effective at detecting eosinophils in bone marrow of interleukin-5 transgenic mice, but these antibodies under-reported the percent positive cells. In contrast, anti-Siglec F alone or in combination with anti-CD45 can be used for the quantitative detection of eosinophils in mouse bone marrow and spleen. The antigen profile CD45(+)SiglecF(+)CD11c(-) was effective at detecting eosinophils in the lung as well as bone marrow and spleen, and the results obtained correlated with direct morphometric counts under all conditions evaluated (r(2)=0.98-0.99). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first systematic analysis presenting definitive correlations between percent eosinophils detected by cell surface markers and direct counting of stained cells in multiple tissues and at varying degrees of eosinophilia.

Flow Plex-A tool for unbiased comprehensive flow cytometry data analysis.

Project description:IntroductionThe information content of multiparametric flow cytometry experiments is routinely underexploited given the paucity of adequate tools for unbiased comprehensive data analysis that can be applied successfully and independently by immunologists without computational training.MethodsWe aimed to develop a tool that allows straightforward access to the entire information content of any given flow cytometry panel for immunologists without special computational expertise. We used a data analysis approach which accounts for all mathematically possible combinations of markers in a given panel, coded the algorithm and applied the method to mined and self-generated data sets.ResultsWe developed Flow Plex, a straightforward computational tool that allows unrestricted access to the information content of a given flow cytometry panel, enables classification of human samples according to distinct immune phenotypes, such as different forms of autoimmune uveitis, acute myeloid leukemia vs "healthy", "old" vs "young", and facilitates the identification of cell populations with potential biologic relevance to states of disease and health.ConclusionsWe provide a tool that allows immunologists and other flow cytometry users with limited bioinformatics skills to extract comprehensive, unbiased information from flow cytometry data sets.

Predicting single-cell gene expression profiles of imaging flow cytometry data with machine learning.

Project description:High-content imaging and single-cell genomics are two of the most prominent high-throughput technologies for studying cellular properties and functions at scale. Recent studies have demonstrated that information in large imaging datasets can be used to estimate gene mutations and to predict the cell-cycle state and the cellular decision making directly from cellular morphology. Thus, high-throughput imaging methodologies, such as imaging flow cytometry can potentially aim beyond simple sorting of cell-populations. We introduce IFC-seq, a machine learning methodology for predicting the expression profile of every cell in an imaging flow cytometry experiment. Since it is to-date unfeasible to observe single-cell gene expression and morphology in flow, we integrate uncoupled imaging data with an independent transcriptomics dataset by leveraging common surface markers. We demonstrate that IFC-seq successfully models gene expression of a moderate number of key gene-markers for two independent imaging flow cytometry datasets: (i) human blood mononuclear cells and (ii) mouse myeloid progenitor cells. In the case of mouse myeloid progenitor cells IFC-seq can predict gene expression directly from brightfield images in a label-free manner, using a convolutional neural network. The proposed method promises to add gene expression information to existing and new imaging flow cytometry datasets, at no additional cost.

Comprehensive immunophenotypic characterization of Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration by flow-cytometry

Project description:Recently, a subset of MYC-translocation negative aggressive B-cell lymphomas resembling Burkitt lymphoma (BL) characterized by proximal gains and distal losses in the long arm of chromosome 11 has been described. In the 2016 revision of the WHO classification these MYC-translocation negative lymphomas have been introduced as new provisional entity designated “Burkitt-like lymphoma with 11q aberration” (MNBLL 11q). Here, we show a comprehensive flow-cytometry analysis of 10 MNBLL 11q cases, well characterized genetically and pathologically. Twenty-three cases of MYC-positive BL, including three cases carrying both MYC rearrangements and 11q aberration, served as controls. All MNBLL 11q were CD20+/CD10+/BCL6+/BCL2- /MUM1- /MYC+/EBV negative , presented a high proliferation rate and showed a three-year overall survival (80%) similar to BL patients, with no recurrence after the end of treatment. MNBLL 11q immunophenotype was similar to that of MYC-positive BL without and with 11q, except for less frequent CD38higher expression (10% MNBLL 11q vs 91% MYC-positive BL, p<0.001), less frequent diminished CD45 expression (90% vs 23%, p=0.001), and CD16/CD56 co-expression (60% vs 0%, p<0.001). Our findings suggest subtle but important differences in MNBLL 11q immunophenotypes and MYC-positive BLs, which could not only aid in the differential diagnosis but also in the understanding of the pathogenesis of MNBLL 11q.

Quantitative assessment of Mycoplasma hemadsorption activity by flow cytometry.

Project description:A number of adherent mycoplasmas have developed highly complex polar structures that are involved in diverse aspects of the biology of these microorganisms and play a key role as virulence factors by promoting adhesion to host cells in the first stages of infection. Attachment activity of mycoplasma cells has been traditionally investigated by determining their hemadsorption ability to red blood cells and it is a distinctive trait widely examined when characterizing the different mycoplasma species. Despite the fact that protocols to qualitatively determine the hemadsorption or hemagglutination of mycoplasmas are straightforward, current methods when investigating hemadsorption at the quantitative level are expensive and poorly reproducible. By using flow cytometry, we have developed a procedure to quantify rapidly and accurately the hemadsorption activity of mycoplasmas in the presence of SYBR Green I, a vital fluorochrome that stains nucleic acids, allowing to resolve erythrocyte and mycoplasma cells by their different size and fluorescence. This method is very reproducible and permits the kinetic analysis of the obtained data and a precise hemadsorption quantification based on standard binding parameters such as the dissociation constant K d. The procedure we developed could be easily implemented in a standardized assay to test the hemadsorption activity of the growing number of clinical isolates and mutant strains of different mycoplasma species, providing valuable data about the virulence of these microorganisms.

Critical assessment of automated flow cytometry data analysis techniques.

Project description:Traditional methods for flow cytometry (FCM) data processing rely on subjective manual gating. Recently, several groups have developed computational methods for identifying cell populations in multidimensional FCM data. The Flow Cytometry: Critical Assessment of Population Identification Methods (FlowCAP) challenges were established to compare the performance of these methods on two tasks: (i) mammalian cell population identification, to determine whether automated algorithms can reproduce expert manual gating and (ii) sample classification, to determine whether analysis pipelines can identify characteristics that correlate with external variables (such as clinical outcome). This analysis presents the results of the first FlowCAP challenges. Several methods performed well as compared to manual gating or external variables using statistical performance measures, which suggests that automated methods have reached a sufficient level of maturity and accuracy for reliable use in FCM data analysis.
