Abstract:
The aim of the experiment was to evaluate the impact of selenium supplementation on white blood cell parameters in the blood of ewes. The total white blood cell (WBC) and differentiation of leukocytes in blood smear were detected by a microscopic analysis, and the CD4<sup>+</sup> and CD8<sup>+</sup> subsets were detected by flow cytometry. A decrease in the count of WBC was recorded during pregnancy; it was statistically significant only in the group supplemented with organic selenium. In the postpartal period there was a statistically significant increase in the percentages of CD4<sup>+</sup> and CD8<sup>+</sup> subsets but differences between the groups were not statistically significant. The results of the experiment documented that the supplementation of different forms of selenium did not markedly influence the dynamics of blood parameters in non-pregnant, pregnant and lactating ewes if the intake of vitamins and other essential microelements was adequate.

Abstract:
: Swine are here introduced to biodosimetry in an attempt to develop a large animal model allowing for comparison of <I>in vitro</I> experiments with the <I>in vivo</I> processes occurring after exposure to gamma radiation. This work investigates the radiosensitivity of the B cell compartment in peripheral blood. Four-week-old piglets were irradiated using the whole body protocol or full blood samples were irradiated <I>in vitro</I> in the dose range of 0–10 Gy. Relative radioresistance of B cell subpopulations and subsets was determined by measuring their relative numbers in leukocyte preparations at selected time intervals after irradiation using two color immunophenotyping and flow cytometry. Porcine B cells represent the most radiosensitive lymphocyte population in peripheral blood. Among B cell subpopulations and subsets investigated, the CD21+SWC7+ and CD21+CD1+ cells are highly radiosensitive and possess biodosimetric potential, at least in the range of low doses. Differences between cultures irradiated <I>in vitro</I> and lymphocyte dynamics in peripheral blood of irradiated animals clearly document the limits of <I>in vitro</I> data extrapolation in biodosimetry. We have shown that pigs can successfully be used in radiobiology and experimental biodosimetry due mainly to their availability, size and a relatively broad spectrum of available immunoreagents for lymphocyte classification.

Abstract:
Stem cell therapy gained momentum for the past three decades in therapeutics. Alternative strategies are indispensable for the treatment of many diseases in the present scenario due to side effects of synthetic chemicals as drugs. Mesenchymal cells of different origin have been in use with good results, though ethical issues and limited availability is a drawback. Novel menstrual blood mesenchymal stems cells prove to be a wealth out of waste is a boon in therapeutics. In this review we bring a bird’s eye view of different diseases treated with menstrual blood mesenchymal stem cells with positive results. Evolution in the use of these cells more and more will be a big relief to many who suffer with side effects of drugs.

Abstract:
There are many situations in medicine and biology where it is desirable to sort cells in a heterogeneous sample based on their mechanical deformability, which can potentially serve as a proxy for morphology or pathology. This biophysical characteristic is particularly relevant for cells in the circulatory system, such as red blood cells and white blood cells, because deformability determines the capacity for these cells to transit through the microvasculature. Since deformability is such a fundamental characteristics of blood cells, deviations in normal cell deformability can contribute to a range of pathological conditions, such as microvascular occlusion, tissue necrosis and organ failure, observed in diseases such as malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum. A commonly employed approach for deformability-based cell sorting is microfiltration. However, this method suffers from cell clogging at the filter microstructures, leading to reduced selectivity and device malfunction. This dissertation presents an improved microfiltration strategy performed using the microfluidic ratchet mechanism, which relies on the deformation of individual cells through micrometer-scale tapered constrictions. Deforming single cells through such constrictions requires directionally asymmetrical forces, which enables oscillatory flow to create a ratcheting transport that depends on cell size and deformability. Simultaneously, oscillatory flow continuously agitates the cells to limit the contact time with the filter microstructure to prevent clogging and adsorption. This work demonstrates the utility of the ratchet mechanism for cell sorting by developing a microfluidic device to sort red blood cells based on deformability. The device is used to separate Plasmodium falciparum infected red blood cells from uninfected cells. The method was shown to dramatically improve the sensitivity of malaria diagnosis performed using both microscopy and rapid diagnostic tests by converting samples with difficult-to-detect parasitemia (<0.01%) into samples with easily detectable parasitemia (>0.1%). This work further demonstrates the utility of the microfluidic ratchet mechanism by developing a microfluidic device to isolate and sort leukocytes directly from whole blood. The method is capable of separating leukocytes from whole blood with 100% purity (i.e. no contaminant erythrocytes) and <2% leukocytes loss. Furthermore, the approach demonstrates the potential to phenotypically sort leukocytes to enrich for granulocytes and lymphocytes subpopulations.

Abstract:
Although the current system of blood transfusion is relatively safe and established within the UK, periodic shortages of certain blood groups and residual risks of emerging transfusion transmitted infections (TTIs) make an industrial manufacture process for the generation of red blood cells more desirable. The generation of red blood cells from human embryonic stem cells has been completed in vitro but the major challenge lies in making the process highly scalable and economically viable. Initially human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells were trialled for use on the project however these were found to be inconsistent, a major issue in cellular therapies. They were replaced with CD34+ cord blood stem cells which are morphologically and physiologically divergent. In order to assess their suitability for a GMP-complaint manufacturing process an ultra-scale down (microfluidic) approach was taken to assess the cells’ reactions to the changeable physical environment associated with scale-up procedures. Cellular responses to hypoxia and shear stress were evaluated at successive time-points in the step-wise haematopoietic differentiation process and recommendations made for optimum scale-up conditions. Conversely further challenges in the manufacture of red blood cells from stem cells were uncovered regarding the differences between stem cell derived red blood cells and their adult equivalents.

Abstract:
Red blood cells (RBC), the oxygen-carriers within blood, eject their nuclei and other organelles to optimise cellular mechanics for gas exchange in capillary networks. Lack of organelles, however, strictly limits circulatory longevity of these cells, due to the inability to repair damaged cellular components. Given the turnover of RBC, the cell population within blood is inherently heterogenous, comprising RBC across the whole spectrum of in vivo age. Moreover, surrender of translational capacity restricts cellular signalling within RBC to modifications of existing proteins and/or flux of ions through membrane-embedded channels, rather than alterations in protein expression. The traversal of the cardiovascular system for the purpose of gas exchange exposes RBC to varying mechanical forces. Exposure to mechanical force physically deforms the RBC membrane, which, upon cessation of force exposure, readopts its native bi-concave disc chape. Novel observations support that these mechanical forces also activate biochemical pathways that may acutely and transiently alter RBC mechanics. The molecular machinery facilitating these mechanotransduction processes in RBC, however, is largely undescribed. The aim of the present body of work was thus to elucidate i. mechanotransductive pathways in mature, enucleated RBC; ii. the contribution of mechanically-activated signalling to the regulation of RBC mechanics; and iii. the impact of sub-populations of RBC with abnormal mechanical properties on blood fluid behaviour. The salient findings of the present dissertation support the presence of a relevant post-translational signalling network in circulating, enucleated RBC, some of which is sensitive to activation by mechanical forces. The cation channel Piezo1 appears to be a central mechanism of ‘force sensing’ in these cells. That is, opening of Piezo1 in response to mechanical force facilitates influx of calciumions, which regulate RBC mechanics via diverse mechanisms, including acute shifts in cell volume, selective removal of susceptible cells within a given RBC population, and initiation of nitric oxide production. Collectively, the herein presented results enhance the current understanding of fundamental RBC physiology by elucidating hitherto unrecognised signalling pathways. Given the demonstrated relevance of these processes to the regulation of RBC mechanical properties, which determine blood fluid properties and effective gas exchange, components of mechanically-activated signalling in these cells may provide novel therapeutic targets. Moreover, adverse complications arising in scenarios where blood is exposed to mechanical forces far exceeding those investigated here, for example during transit of mechanical circulatory support devices or dialysis machines, may be linked to overactivation of mechanically-sensitive signalling.

Abstract:
Atherosclerosis is one of the main diseases responsible for the high global mortality rate involving heart and blood vessel disorders. The build-up of fatty materials in the inner wall of the human artery prevents sufficient oxygen and nutrients reaching the organs of the body. Atherosclerosis is a chronic, long term condition, which develops and progresses over time; however, the disease does not present any symptoms until an advanced stage is reached, which results in potential permanent debility and sometimes sudden death. This thesis is concerned with the progression of atherosclerosis in an artery with mild stenosis that has resulted in a 30% reduction in its diameter. To this end, data on the low wall shear stress has been correlated with the atherosclerotic prone region. In a stenosed artery, this region corresponds to the separation zone that is formed distal to the lumen reduction. Atherosclerosis is a complex phenomenon, and not only involves wall shear stress, but also cellular interactions. Previous research has shown that even in the absence of wall biological effects, the blood cell distribution is strongly influenced by the hydrodynamics of the fluid. The mechanisms of blood cell distribution and the dynamic behaviour of the blood flow were investigated by developing a physical model of the stenosed artery, and by using particles to represent the presence of the blood cells. Particle Image Velocimetry system was employed and the size of particles were the 10μm and 20μm. The flow field was characterised and the particle distribution was measured. The characteristics of steady flow in the stenosed artery at Reynolds numbers of 250 and 320 revealed the importance of fluid inertia and the shear gradient distal to stenosis. Unequal distribution of the particles modelling the blood cells was observed, as more particles occupied the recirculation zones than the high shear region and central jet. The particle migration was found to depend on the particle size, particle concentration and fluid flow rates. The results suggested that the presence of similar effects in the real human arterial system may be significant to the progression of atherosclerotic plaques. At lower Reynolds number of 130, a particle depleted layer was observed at the wall region. In physiological flow the cell free layer will prevent the transport of oxygen and nitrogen oxide (NO) to the muscle tissues. A numerical method was used to simulate the flow characteristics measured in the experiment. The numerical results revealed the importance of the hydrodynamic mechanism of particle migration. Drag and lift forces were found to affect the residence time of particles in the recirculation region. The findings of this work have suggested that for a complex geometry like a large stenosed artery at physiological flow rates, hydrodynamic forces are important in cell migration in the flow separation zone. Even without biological forces, the cells migrate to the low wall shear stress region. For computational dynamics studies, this study has demonstrated the need for higher-order modelling at the cellular level in order to establish the particle migration mechanisms.

Full text
Abstract:
CAMPATH-1H is administered prior to haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to reduce risks of graft versus host disease (GvHD) by targeting CD52 antigens on T cells, resulting in their depletion. CAMPATH-1H is routinely used in HSCT using haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) from peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow but not cord blood (CB). Data regarding in vivo and in vitro effects of CAMPATH-1H on immune cells is limited to PB T and B cells. Thus, we sought to determine whether a direct correlation between CD52 density and the depleting effects of CAMPATH-1H exists with fresh and frozen, resting and activated, PB and CB cells. CD52 expression was generally higher in resting CB than PB T cell subsets and B cells although CD52 levels were higher in PB natural killer cells. Furthermore, CAMPATH-1H depleted resting cells more effectively than activated cells with minimal or no necrosis. Higher percentages of apoptosis were noted in naïve CD4 and CD8 T cells with wild type/wild type genotype for caspase-8 (CASP8) gene promoter compared to donors with a single or double deletions, suggesting the potential contribution of CASP8 promoter polymorphism on sensitivity to the drug. CD52 was absent on HSC but upregulated during differentiation, implying that residual CAMPATH-1H could potentially impact on HSC differentiation by depleting CD52 expressing progenitors. This study provides evidence that low dose of CAMPATH-1H may be effective for cell depletion and prevent GvHD whilst allowing cell differentiation. Although the impacts of CAMPATH-1H on viability and differentiation of CB and PB cells were comparable, the use of CAMPATH-1H pre-CBT may not be ideal as it may further delay immune recovery and increase infection incidences. Therefore, this project provides a better understanding of CAMPATH-1H effects at the cellular and molecular level, with potential for clinical translation to achieve effective GvHD modulation while preserving GvL.

Abstract:
L'objectif de cette thèse est d'améliorer la compréhension des phénomènes jouant un rôle dans la mesure effectuée dans un analyseur sanguin, en particulier le comptage et la mesure de volumétrie d'une population de globules rouges reposant sur l'effet Coulter. Des simulations numériques sont effectuées dans le but de prédire la dynamique des globules rouges dans les zones de mesure et pour reproduire la mesure électrique associée, servant au comptage et à la volumétrie des cellules. Ces simulations sont effectuées à l'intérieur de configurations industrielles d'analyseur sanguin, en utilisant un outil numérique développé à l'IMAG, le solveur YALES2BIO. En utilisant la méthode des frontières immergées avec suivi de front, un modèle de particule déformable est introduit, celui-ci prend en compte le contraste de viscosité ainsi que les effets mécaniques de la courbure et de l'élasticité sur la membrane. Le solveur est validé grâce à de nombreux cas tests parcourant différents régimes et effets physiques. L'écoulement fluide dans cette géométrie d'analyseur sanguin est caractérisée par un fort gradient de vitesse axial dans la direction de l'écoulement, impliquant la présence d'un écoulement extensionnel au niveau du micro-orifice, là où a lieu la mesure. La dynamique des globules rouges est étudiée par des simulations numériques pour différentes conditions initiales, telles que sa position ou son orientation. Il est observé que les globules rouges vont se réorienter selon l'axe principal de l'analyseur sanguin dans tous les cas. Pour comprendre le phénomène, des modèles analytiques sont adaptés au cas des écoulements extensionnels et reproduisent correctement les tendances de réorientation.Cette thèse présente également la reproduction de la mesure électrique utilisée pour le comptage et la mesure de la distribution des volumes de globules rouges. De nombreuses simulations de la dynamique des globules rouges sont effectuées et utilisées pour générer l'impulsion électrique correspondant au passage du globule rouge dans le micro-orifice. Les amplitudes d'impulsions électriques résultantes permettent la caractérisation de la réponse électrique en fonction des paramètres initiaux de la simulation par une approche statistique. Un algorithme de Monte-Carlo est utilisé pour la quantification des erreurs de mesure liées à l'orientation et la position des globules rouges dans le micro-orifice. Ceci permet la génération d'une distribution de volume mesurée pour une population de globules rouges bien définie et la caractérisation des erreurs de mesure associées
The aim of this thesis is to improve the understanding of the phenomena involved in the measurement performed in a blood analyzer, namely the counting and sizing of red blood cells based on the Coulter effect. Numerical simulations are performed to predict the dynamics of red blood cells in the measurement regions, and to reproduce the associated electrical measurement used to count and size the cells. These numerical simulations are performed in industrial configurations using a numerical tool developed at IMAG, the YALES2BIO solver. Using the Front-Tracking Immersed Boundary Method, a deformable particle model for the red blood cell is introduced which takes the viscosity contrast as well as the mechanical effects of the curvature and elasticity on the membrane into account. The solver is validated against several test cases spreading over a large range of regimes and physical effects.The velocity field in the blood analyzer geometry is found to consist of an intense axial velocity gradient in the direction of the flow, resulting in a extensional flow at the micro-orifice, where the measurement is performed. The dynamics of the red blood cells is studied with numerical simulations with different initial conditions, such as its position or orientation. They are found to reorient along the main axis of the blood analyzer in all cases. In order to understand the phenomenon, analytical models are adapted to the case of extensional flows and are found to reproduce the observed trends.This thesis also presents the reproduction of the electrical measurement used to count red blood cells and measure their volume distribution. Numerous dynamics simulations are performed and used to generate the electrical pulse corresponding to the passage of a red blood cell inside the micro-orifice. The resulting electrical pulse amplitudes are used to characterize the electrical response depending on the initial parameters of the simulation by means of a statistical approach. A Monte-Carlo algorithm helps quantifying the errors on the measurement of cell depending on its orientation and position inside the micro-orifice. This allows the generation of a measured volume distribution of a well defined red blood cell population and the characterization of the associated measurement errors

Abstract:
Implantable cardiovascular biomaterials have been widely applied in multiple cardiovascular disorders such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, and abdominal aortic aneurysms. However the failure modes of cardiovascular biomaterials are not uncommon, which is mainly due to the complications on blood-contacting surfaces such as thrombosis, calcification, and inflammation. Endothelium locates the inner surface of vessel lumen and is a critical regulator of vascular homeostasis. However, a readily available functional autologous source of endothelium has been hard to achieve. Human blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs), cultured from peripheral blood mononuclear cells are proliferative and express endothelial protein profiles and as such are a very promising novel cell source for cardiovascular biomaterials coating. Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is an important regulator of vascular homeostasis and loss of eNOS activity is a hallmark of endothelial dysfunction. My data demonstrated that BOECs express markedly lower eNOS protein, mRNA as well as activity levels when compared to mature endothelial cells (ECs). My first project was to use transient transfection methods along with minicircle DNA to enhance eNOS expression levels in BOECs. Two promoters were tested in BOECs, the CMV promoter (pMini-CMV-eNOS) and the EF1α promoter (pMini-EF1α-eNOS). Transfection with pMini-CMV-eNOS achieved 24.8 ± 5.1 times more eNOS expression when compared to null transfected cells at 24 hours, a marked improvement over that achieved with conventional PVAX plasmid (10.2 ± 4.7 fold increase) or pMini-EF1α-eNOS (8.2 ± 1.2 fold increase both compared to null transfected control). pMini-CMV-eNOS mediated overexpression improved cell migration and network formation. When cultured on Osteopontin (OPN) coated surfaces, transient transfection with plasmid eNOS in BOECs can markedly enhance cell spreading and adhesion to ECM modified surfaces. These results suggest that eNOS expression in BOECs is suboptimal and BOECs may be functionally improved by techniques to enhance expression of this critical homeostatic regulator. Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins have been shown to negatively regulate eNOS expression and NO production in mature ECs. In addition, the deposition of Col IV and Col I in BOECs is higher compared to that in mature ECs. Thus, I have proposed that the lower eNOS expression/activity in BOECs compared to mature ECs is due to higher ECM deposition. When grown on fibronectin, type I collagen, type IV collagen and laminin, significantly decreased eNOS protein in HUVECs were found compared to cells on polystyrene. Interestingly, when cultured on polystyrene, BOECs express significantly more extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins especially type I collagen compared to mature ECs. Blocking collagen synthesis significantly enhanced eNOS expression in BOECs (1.77 ± 0.41 fold increase). My results suggest that the regulation of eNOS in BOECs and mature ECs is similar and the reduced eNOS level in BOECs may be due to their increased collagen production. ECM proteins regulate intracellular signaling transduction primarily through integrin signaling associated with focal adhesion complexes. I have proposed that ECM proteins regulation on eNOS signaling in BOECs and mature ECs is through integrin and integrin-associated proteins. Matrix mediated eNOS downregulation was blocked by β1 integrin siRNA and focal adhesion kinase siRNA transfection in both BOECs and HUVECs. In addition, inhibitors of actin polymerization (e.g. ROCK inhibitors and cytochalasin D) block the effect of ECM on eNOS signaling. Taken together, my results suggest that ECM proteins regulate eNOS expression via a β1 integrin/FAK/actin polymerization dependent mechanism.

Abstract:
Circulating white blood cells adhere to endothelium near an infection site; this occurs because infection causes ligands to be expressed on activated endothelium. Initially, a white blood cell rolls on the substrate, but eventually forms a firm adhesion, allowing it to crawl through the endothelial layer toward the infected tissue. A computational model of bond kinetics, cell deformability, and fluid dynamics was used to model the forces experienced by a cell during this process. The cell was modeled as a fluid-filled membrane; on its surface were hundreds of deformable microvilli—little fingers, ruffles in the white blood cell’s wrinkly membrane. These microvilli were deformable and their tips were decorated with PSGL-1 chemical receptors which bound to P-selectin ligands on the surface. Softer cells and cells subjected to higher fluid shear stress deformed more, and having more contact area, they formed more bonds and were able to resist more hydrodynamic load.

Abstract:
Motivated by questions related to flow in pediatric cardiovascular devices, the purpose of this study was to compare pediatric and adult complex viscoelasticity η* = ηV − iηE, where ηV and ηE are viscous and elastic components, respectively, measured in oscillatory flow in a capillary tube [Thurston 1972]. For normal blood, viscosity is increased at low shear rates by red cell aggregation and reduced at high shear rates due to disaggregation, orientation and deformation of red cells. The elastic part is also normally psuedoplastic, indicative of the deformation of red cell aggregates at high shear and individual cells at low shear, respectively.
