Endothelial Cell Atlas

ABSTRACT: The heterogeneity of endothelial cells (ECs), lining blood vessels, across tissues remains incompletely inventoried. We constructed an atlas of >32,000 single-EC transcriptomic data from 11 tissues of the model organism Mus musculus. We propose a new classification of EC phenotypes based on transcriptome signatures and inferred putative biological features. We identified top-ranking markers for ECs from each tissue. ECs from different vascular beds (arteries, capillaries, veins, lymphatics) resembled each other across tissues, but only arterial, venous and lymphatic (not capillary) ECs shared markers, illustrating a greater heterogeneity of capillary ECs. We identified high-endothelial-venule and lacteal-like ECs in the intestines, and angiogenic ECs in healthy tissues. Metabolic transcriptomes of ECs differed amongst spleen, lung, liver, brain and testis, while being similar for kidney, heart, muscle and intestines. Within tissues, metabolic gene expression was heterogeneous amongst ECs from different vascular beds, altogether highlighting large EC heterogeneity.

Single-cell RNA-seq of CD4+ Treg and Tmem cells from different tissues in mouse (Chromium 10x data)

Project description:Non-lymphoid tissues (NLTs) harbour a pool of adaptive immune cells distinct from their counterparts in lymphoid tissues, and their development and phenotype remains largely unexplored. We used scRNA-seq to survey CD4+ T regulatory (Treg) and memory T (Tmem) cells in spleen, lymph nodes, skin and colon in an unbiased way, in mouse. This cross-tissues comparison allows us to obtain marker genes for immune populations in specific locations, as well as examine each population's heterogeneity. Additionally, a continuous phenotype of Treg migration can be modelled from the mouse data, unravelling the transcriptional stages through which these cells transition between tissues.

Actively translating transcriptome (Ribotag) profiling of mouse retinal endothelial cells during postnatal development

Project description:Angiogenesis, a process mediating the expansion of vascular beds in many physiological and pathological settings, requires dynamic changes in endothelial cell (EC) behavior. The molecular mechanisms governing EC activity during different phases of vascular growth, remodeling, maturation, and quiescence remain elusive. Here, we have employed actively translating transcriptome analysis of mouse retinal ECs for the characterization of dynamic gene expression changes during postnatal development and the identification of critical angiogenic factors. In silico computational analyses of these data enabled the identification of candidate regulators controlling EC behavior at different developmental checkpoints. The detailed characterization of Mafb, one of the identified candidates, established that this transcription factor controls endothelial sprouting in vitro and in vivo. Integrative analysis of RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq data defined putative direct Mafb targets, which are repressed or activated by the transcriptional regulator. Together, our results identify novel cell-autonomous regulatory mechanisms controlling sprouting angiogenesis. Overall design: 2 retinas from a mouse were used for single library / 3 biological replicates (individual mouse) per sample / 5 developmental stages of P6, P10, P15, P21 and P50 / EC-specific Mafb conditional KO

Gene Expression Patterns of Endothelial Cell Network Formation

Project description:Lamellar co-cultures of human aorta-derived smooth muscle cells (SMCs) cultured with cord-blood derived endothelial cells (ECs) are an in vitro model for tissue engineered blood vessels and in-growth of endothelial cells into cardiovascular repair devices. The ratio of endothelial cells to smooth muscle cells can control the EC pattern of growth and differentiation. Low density ECs form capillary-like networks in co-culture with SMCs whereas high density ECs become confluent across the top surface of the SMCs. To understand the molecular mechanisms that govern network formation, used microarray analysis of ECs purified from 1) networks, 2) confluent layers compared to 3) ECs in monoculture. Overall design: To understand the molecular mechanisms that govern endothelial cell network formation, we used microarray analysis of RNA isolated from endothelial cells in either in monoculture or lamellar culture with smooth muscle cells.

An integrated approach to profile lung tumor endothelial cell heterogeneity across species and models and to identify angiogenic candidates

Project description:Heterogeneity of lung tumor endothelial cell (TEC) phenotypes across patients, species (human/mouse) and models (in vivo/vitro) remains poorly inventoried at the single-cell-level. We single-cell RNA-sequenced 56,771 ECs from human/mouse (peri)-tumoral lung and cultured human lung TECs, detected 17 known and discovered 16 novel phenotypes, including TECs presumably regulating immune surveillance. We resolved the canonical tip TECs into a known migratory tip and a novel basement-membrane remodeling breach phenotype. Tip-TEC signatures correlated with patient-survival, and tip/breach TECs were most sensitive to VEGF-blockade. By similarity analysis, only tip-TECs were congruent across species/models and shared conserved markers. Integrated analysis of the scRNA-seq data with orthogonal multi-omics and meta-analysis data across different human tumors, validated by functional analysis, identified collagen-modification as angiogenic candidate pathway.

In vivo endothelial transcriptional profiles of porcine coronary and iliac arteries

Project description:Phenotypic heterogeneity among arterial ECs is particularly relevant to atherosclerosis since the disease occurs predominantly in major arteries, which vary in their atherosusceptibility. To explore EC heterogeneity, we used DNA microarrays to compare gene expression profiles of freshly harvested porcine coronary and iliac artery ECs. We demonstrate that in vivo the endothelial transcriptional profile of a coronary artery (the right coronary artery) is intrinsically different from that of a major conduit vessel (the external iliac artery), and that this difference is consistent with former vessel being more prone to atherosclerosis. Keywords: coronary atherosclerosis, endothelial heterogeneity, microarray, gene expression Endothelial cells were freshly harvest from right coronary, left and right iliac arteries from four pigs. RNA were isolated and expression profiles were obtained using olig microarrays.

Genetic Characterization of Endometrial Cancers

Project description:Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most commonly diagnosed gynecologic malignancy in the United States and is the sixth leading cause of cancer death amongst American women. The purpose of this study was to identify somatic (tumor-specific) copy number alterations in 7 clear cell ECs, 31 serous ECs, 17 endometrioid ECs, and the clear cell components of 2 endometrioid/clear cell ECs. To this end, DNAs from de-identified primary endometrial tumors and matched non-tumor tissues or blood were hybridized to high-density Illumina Infinium HumanHap650Y Beadchips or to high-density Human660W-Quad Beadchips and the data analyzed to annotate somatic copy number alterations throughout the genome.

Endothelial cell diversity revealed by global expression profiling

Project description:The vascular system is locally specialized to accommodate widely varying blood flow and pressure and the distinct needs of individual tissues. The endothelial cells (ECs) that line the lumens of blood and lymphatic vessels play an integral role in the regional specialization of vascular structure and physiology. However, our understanding of EC diversity is limited. To explore EC specialization on a global scale, we used DNA microarrays to determine the expression profile of 53 cultured ECs. We found that ECs from different blood vessels and microvascular ECs from different tissues have distinct and characteristic gene expression profiles. Pervasive differences in gene expression patterns distinguish the ECs of large vessels from microvascular ECs. We identified groups of genes characteristic of arterial and venous endothelium. Hey2, the human homologue of the zebrafish gene gridlock, was selectively expressed in arterial ECs and induced the expression of several arterial-specific genes. Several genes critical in the establishment of left/right asymmetry were expressed preferentially in venous ECs, suggesting coordination between vascular differentiation and body plan development. Tissue-specific expression patterns in different tissue microvascular ECs suggest they are distinct differentiated cell types that play roles in the local physiology of their respective organs and tissues. A development or differentiation experiment design type assays events associated with development or differentiation or moving through a life cycle. Development applies to organism(s) acquiring a mature state, and differentiation applies to cells acquiring specialized functions. Using regression correlation
