Multiresolution 3D Optical Mapping of Immune Cell Infiltrates in Mouse Asthmatic Lung
2023
Overview
Abstract
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease driven by various infiltrating immune cell types into the lung. Optical microscopy has been used to study immune infiltrates in asthmatic lungs. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) identifies the phenotypes and locations of individual immune cells in lung tissue sections by employing high-magnification objectives and multiplex immunofluorescence staining. In contrast, light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) can visualize the macroscopic and mesoscopic architecture of whole-mount lung tissues in three dimensions (3D) by adopting an optical tissue-clearing method. Despite each microscopy method producing image data with unique resolution from a tissue sample, CLSM and LSFM have not been applied together because of different tissue-preparation procedures. Here, we introduce a new approach combining LSFM and CLSM into a sequential imaging pipeline. We built a new optical tissue clearing workflow in which the immersion clearing agent can be switched from an organic solvent to an aqueous sugar solution for sequential 3D LSFM and CLSM of mouse lungs. This sequential combination microscopy offered quantitative 3D spatial analyses of the distribution of immune infiltrates in the same mouse asthmatic lung tissue at the organ, tissue, and cell levels. These results show that our method facilitates multiresolution 3D fluorescence microscopy as a new imaging approach providing comprehensive spatial information for a better understanding of inflammatory lung diseases.
