Integrated Multiparametric High-Content Profiling of Endothelial Cells.

ABSTRACT: Endothelial cells (ECs) are widely heterogeneous at the cell level and serve different functions at the vessel and tissue levels. EC-forming colonies derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC-ECFCs) alongside models such as primary human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs) are slowly becoming available for research with future applications in cell therapies, disease modeling, and drug discovery. We and others previously described high-content analysis approaches capturing unbiased morphology-based measurements coupled with immunofluorescence and used these for multidimensional reduction and population analysis. Here, we report a tailored workflow to characterize ECs. We acquire images at high resolution with high-magnification water-immersion objectives with Hoechst, vascular endothelial c
