To investigate the dynamic homing process and characteristics of macrophages in different organs of immune-mediated aplastic anemia (AA) model mice. Macrophages in donor lymph nodes were sorted by magnetic beads and labeled with PKH67. After modeling according to the preparation method of the AA model, peripheral blood rountine analysis, bone marrow biopsy and HE staining results were analyzed to verify the modeling effect. On days 4, 8, and 12 of modeling, the bone marrow, spleen, and lymph node mononuclear cells were collected, and dynamic changes of PKH67-labeled macrophages in donor mice were analyzed by flow cytometry. In this study, dynamic changes in PKH67-labeled macrophages in the pathogenesis of AA model mice were explored. Macrophages in donor mice homed to the lymph nodes, expanding and differentiating in the lymph nodes, and finally transported to the bone marrow and spleen. Through proteomics mass spectrometry analysis, the related immune inflammatory response pathway of macrophages involved in the activation of the AA bone marrow microenvironment was preliminarily revealed, which provides a basis for the pathological macrophages involved in the pathogenesis of AA model mice.

Objective:To observe the changes of retinal blood flow density and thickness in the macular region of eyes with high myopia (HM) combined with peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (PICC).Methods:A cross-sectional study. From March 2019 to May 2021, 65 patients (65 eyes) diagnosed as PICC (HM+PICC group) in Eye Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, sex-and age-matched 69 HM patients of 69 eyes (HM group) and 65 healthy people of 65 eyes (control group) were enrolled in this study. The optical coherence tomography angiography was used to scan macular areas in 3 mm×3 mm, and measure the macular fovea and optic disc on superior, inferior, nasal, temporal superficial capillary plexus (SCP) and deep capillary plexus (DCP) vessel density in the foveal and parafoveal region, and macular retinal ganglion cell complex (mGCC) thickness, full retinal thickness. One-way analysis of variance were used to test the difference of the index values among three groups, and then two groups were compared with Bonferroni test. A paired t-test was used to test the difference of the macular vessel density and thickness between the superior and inferior hemifield in three groups. Pearson partial regression analysis was used to calculate the correlations between them at same sites. Results:PICC was located most frequently at the inferior temporal disc border, followed by the inferior nasal region, superior temporal region, and superior nasal region in the HM+PICC group on 57(87.7%, 57/65), 25(38.5%, 25/65), 3(4.6%, 3/65) and 1(1.5%, 1/65 ) eye. There were significant differences in the global and regional full retinal thickness, mGCC thickness, SCP and DCP vessel density among 3 groups ( F=29.097, 51.929, 16.253, 6.135; P<0.001). The macular SCP and DCP vessel density except in the fovea, all regional macular full retinal thickness and mGCC thickness in the HM+PICC group were significantly lower than those in the normal group ( P<0.05). Compared to the HM group, the HM+PICC group had lower all regional mGCC thickness and SCP vessel density, as well as full retinal thickness in the inferior hemifield and DCP vessel density in the foveal region ( P<0.05). Macular vessel density and thickness in the inferior hemifield were significantly lower than those in the superior hemifield ( t=6.356, 11.693, 6.212, 2.936; P<0.01). Pearson partial regression analysis showed the SCP vessel density was positively correlated with corresponding mGCC thickness and full retinal thickness ( r=0.584, 0.534, 0.592, 0.496, 0.485, 0.517; P<0.001). However, there was no significant correlation between the DCP vascular density and mGCC thickness ( P>0.05), and only a weak positive correlation between the DCP vascular density and the full retinal thickness in the inferior hemifield ( r=0.319, P=0.014). However, no association with average and superior full retinal thickness ( r=0.066, 0.002, 0.125, 0.184, 0.016, 0.319; P>0.05). Conclusion:The macular SCP vessel density, mGCC thickness and the full retinal thickness in the inferior hemifield in PICC eyes are lower than those in the HM eyes, especially the mGCC thickness and SCP vessel density in the inferior hemifield, and there is a strong positive correlation between them.

Objective:This study aims, in addition to characterizing pathogenic T cells trafficking to bone marrow (BM) and other organs, to establish immune-mediated AA C.B10 mouse model by DsRed mouse (B6 background) lymph nodes (LN) cells infusion after a total body irradiation (TBI) .Methods:The C.B10 mice received a 5 Gy TBI and then were infused with DsRed mouse (B6 background) LN cells at 5×10 6/mouse via a tail vein injection. The severity of bone marrow failure (BMF) was observed by mononuclear cell count in bone marrow and peripheral blood cell count. On days 3, 6, 9, and 12, mice were sacrificed and collected BM, spleens, LN, or thymus to analyze the dynamic change and activation status of donor T cells in these organs by a flow cytometry. At day 12, the donor-derived T cells from BM, spleens, and LN were sorted to collect the DsRed +CD3 +CD4 + T cells and DsRed +CD3 +CD8 + T cells for RNA isolation and gene expression analyses by PCR array. Results:Relative to control animals that received 5 Gy TBI without LN cell infusion, AA mice developed severe BMF with dramatic decrease in total BM cells, hemoglobin, white blood cells, and platelets in peripheral blood on days 9 and 12 after the LN cell infusion. The frequencies of DsRed + T cells trafficking to BM, LN, and spleens increased with time. Surprisingly, although the DsRed + T cells in BM increased dramatically at a level much higher than those in the spleens and LN on day 12, there were very few DsRed + T cells in BM on days three and six, which was significantly lower than those in spleens or LN. The frequency of DsRed + T cells in thymus was the lowest during the whole process. On day 12, the DsRed +CD3 +CD4 + T cells of BM, LN, and spleens from AA mice were (91.38±2.10) %, (39.78±6.98) %, and (67.87±12.77) %, respectively. On the contrary, the DsRed +CD3 +CD8 +T cells of BM, LN, and spleens were (98.21±1.49) %, (94.06±4.20) %, and (96.29±1.23) %, respectively. We assessed the donor T cell phenotypes using the CD44 and CD62L markers and found that almost all of the DsRed +CD4 + or DsRed +CD8 + T cells in BM were effector memory T cell phenotype from day 9 to day 12. Meanwhile, transcriptome analyses showed higher expression in CD38, IFN-γ, LAG3, CSF1, SPP1, and TNFSF13B in BM DsRed +CD4 + and DsRed +CD8 + T cells. However, there was a lower expression in FOXP3 and CTLA4 in BM DsRed +CD4 + T cells than those in spleens and LN. Conclusions:The DsRed LN cells infusion to induce BMF in CB10 mice enabled to track the donor-derived pathogenic T cells. Besides previously published findings in this model, we demonstrated that donor CD4 + and CD8 + T cells primarily homed to spleens and LN, expanded and differentiated, then infiltrated in BM with a terminal effector memory phenotype. The T cells infiltrated in BM showed more activation and less immunosuppression characteristics compared to those homing to spleens and LN during the BMF development.
