Perinodal Adipose Tissue Participates in Immune Protection through a Lymphatic Vessel-Independent Route

Abstract

Lymphatic vessels remove and transport excess interstitial fluid to lymph nodes (LNs) for fluid balance and immune protection. LNs are typically surrounded by perinodal adipose tissue (PAT). However, PAT is a blood vessel-rich but lymphatic-rare tissue; therefore, how excess fluid in PAT is removed remains unclear. Using C57BL/6 mice, fluorescent dye tracing and transmission electron microscopy results suggest that fluid in PAT can travel to the LN via collagen I+ channels (PAT-LN conduits), merge into a collagen-rich space between the PAT and LN capsule (PAT-LN sinus), and may enter the LN via the LN capsule-associated conduits. This newly identified route of fluid flow allows fluid to enter the draining LN even when the afferent lymphatic vessels are blocked, indicating that fluid trafficking in PAT-LN conduits is not dependent on functional lymphatic vessels. Similar to lymphatic vessels, PAT-LN conduits can deliver Ags to the LN for immune protection. Additionally, Staphylococcus aureus from intradermal or i.v. infection may use PAT-LN conduits to infect PAT and stimulate PAT immune protection. Our studies revealed a new route of material exchange between PAT and the LN. Ag accumulation and bacterial infection in PAT demons...Continue Reading

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
