Profiling of vascular organoid endothelial cells and pericytes from iPS cells

ABSTRACT: Diabetes is prevalent worldwide and associated with severe health complications, including blood vessel damage that leads to cardiovascular disease and death. Here we report the development of a 3D blood vessel organoid culture system from human pluripotent stem cells. These human blood vessel organoids contain endothelial cells and pericytes that self-assemble into interconnected capillary networks enveloped by a basement membrane. Human blood vessel organoids transplanted into mice form a stable, perfused human vascular tree, including human arteries, arterioles and venules. Exposure of blood vessel organoids to hyperglycemia and inflammatory cytokines in vitro induced thickening of the basal membrane, a hallmark of human diabetic microangiopathy. Human blood vessel, exposed in vivo to a diabetic milieu in mice, also mimick the microvascular changes in diabetic patients. We finally performed a drug screen and uncovered γ-secretase and DLL4-Notch3 as key drivers of “diabetic” vasculopathy in human blood vessels in vitro and in vivo. Thus, organoids derived from human stem cells faithfully recapitulate the structure and function of human blood vessels and are amenable to model and identify drug targets for diabetic vasculopathy, which affects hundreds of millions of patients.

Endothelial cells derived from iPSC in response to diabetic medium

Project description:Diabetes is prevalent worldwide and associated with severe health complications, including blood vessel damage that leads to cardiovascular disease and death. We report the development of 3D blood vessel organoids from human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells. These human blood vessel organoids contain endothelium, perivascular pericytes, and basal membranes, and self-assemble into lumenized interconnected capillary networks. We treat these vascular organoids with hyperglycemia and inflammatory cytokines in vitro, which leads to basement membrane thickening, a structural hallmark of diabetic patient. To compare differential gene expression we performed RNAseq on endothelial cells, derived from control (NG) or diabetic (DI) vascular organoids.

Leukocyte accumulation in graft blood vessels during self-limiting acute rejection of rat kidneys Immunobiology

Project description:Acute rejection episodes trigger chronic renal allograft vasculopathy. Numerous leukocytes, predominantly monocytes, accumulate in graft blood vessels during reversible acute rejection preceding chronic rejection of rat kidneys. We speculate that they contribute to transplant vasculopathy and set out to characterize them. Allogeneic renal transplantation was performed in the Fischer 344 to Lewis rat strain combination, Lewis isografts served as controls. Leukocytes were harvested by intensive perfusion of graft blood vessels and subjected to flow cytometry, quantitative RT-PCR and genome-wide transcriptional profiling.

Hypoxia-induced proteomic remodeling of human mammary cancer associated fibroblast

Project description:Intratumoral hypoxia causes the formation of dysfunctional blood vessels which contribute to tumor metastasis. Blood vessels are embedded in the tumor stroma where cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) constitute the most prominent cellular component. We found that hypoxic human mammary CAFs promote blood vessel growth in CAF-endothelial cell co-cultures in vitro. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of CAF secretome unravels how hypoxic CAFs contribute to blood vessel abnormalities by altering the secretion of a multitude of pro- and anti-angiogenic factors. Hypoxia induces pronounced remodeling of the CAF proteome, including proteins that have not been previously related to this process. Our study provides a map of unprecedented depth of hypoxia-induced molecular alterations in mammary CAFs that can be exploited to identify novel mechanisms that control hypoxic CAF functions.

Hypoxia-induced proteomic remodeling of human mammary cancer associated fibroblast - siRNA NCBP2-AS2

Project description:Intratumoral hypoxia causes the formation of dysfunctional blood vessels which contribute to tumor metastasis. Blood vessels are embedded in the tumor stroma where cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) constitute the most prominent cellular component. We found that hypoxic human mammary CAFs promote blood vessel growth in CAF-endothelial cell co-cultures in vitro. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of CAF secretome unravels how hypoxic CAFs contribute to blood vessel abnormalities by altering the secretion of a multitude of pro- and anti-angiogenic factors. Hypoxia induces pronounced remodeling of the CAF proteome, including proteins that have not been previously related to this process. Amongst those, the uncharacterized antisense gene protein NCBP2-AS2 is one of the most transcriptionally upregulated proteins in the proteome and secretome of hypoxic CAFs. Silencing of NCBP2-AS2 abrogates the pro-angiogenic function acquired by hypoxic CAFs through decreasing VEGF expression levels to the levels found in normoxic CAFs.

An organ-specific angiogenic control mechanism for endothelial tailoring

Project description:Each organ of the human body requires locally-adapted blood vessels. The gain of such organotypic vessel specializations is often deemed molecularly unrelated to the process of organ vascularization. Opposing this model, we reveal a molecular mechanism for brain-specific angiogenesis, that operates under the control of Wnt7a/b ligands, well-known blood-brain barrier maturation signals. The control mechanism relies on Wnt7a/b-dependent expression of Mmp25 in brain endothelial cells. This hitherto poorly characterized GPI-anchored matrix metalloproteinase is selectively required in endothelial tip cells to enable their initial migration across the pial basement membrane lining the brain surface, which distinctive molecular composition is controlled by embryonic pial fibroblasts. Mechanistically, Mmp25 confers brain invasive competence by cleaving the pial basement membrane-enriched Col4a5/6 within a short non-collagenous region of the central helical part of the heterotrimer. Upon genetic interference with pial basement membrane composition, the Wnt/β-catenin-dependent organotypic control of brain angiogenesis is lost, resulting in properly patterned, yet blood-brain barrier-defective cerebrovasculatures. This work reveals an organ-specific angiogenesis mechanism, sheds light on tip cell mechanistic angiodiversity, and thereby illustrates how organs, by imposing local constraints on angiogenic tip cells, can select vessels matching their distinctive physiological requirements.

Relief of hypoxia by angiogenesis promotes neural stem cell differentiation by targeting glycolysis

Project description:The neural stem cell (NSC) niche controls the expansion and differentiation of NSCs. Blood vessels are part of this neurogenic niche, but their functional significance for the regulation of NSC differentiation and the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Here, we report that blood vessel formation in the developing mouse and ferret cortex coincided with induction of NSC differentiation in time and space. Moreover, selective inhibition of brain angiogenesis in vessel-specific Gpr124 null embryos caused hypoxia and increased NSC expansion at the expense of differentiation. The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1Îą mediated this process, as the level of HIF-1Îą controlled NSC differentiation. Niche blood vessels regulated NSC differentiation at least in part by providing oxygen, as exposure to increased ambient oxygen levels rescued NSC differentiation in hypoxic brains of Gpr124 deficient embryos. Our findings establish a novel oxygen-dependent mechanism of how blood vessels regulate NSC differentiation.

Mpekris2017 - Role of vascular normalization in benefit from metronomic chemotherapy

Project description:Role of vascular normalization in benefit from metronomic chemotherapy. Mpekris F1, Baish JW2, Stylianopoulos T3, Jain RK4. Author information Abstract Metronomic dosing of chemotherapy-defined as frequent administration at lower doses-has been shown to be more efficacious than maximum tolerated dose treatment in preclinical studies, and is currently being tested in the clinic. Although multiple mechanisms of benefit from metronomic chemotherapy have been proposed, how these mechanisms are related to one another and which one is dominant for a given tumor-drug combination is not known. To this end, we have developed a mathematical model that incorporates various proposed mechanisms, and report here that improved function of tumor vessels is a key determinant of benefit from metronomic chemotherapy. In our analysis, we used multiple dosage schedules and incorporated interactions among cancer cells, stem-like cancer cells, immune cells, and the tumor vasculature. We found that metronomic chemotherapy induces functional normalization of tumor blood vessels, resulting in improved tumor perfusion. Improved perfusion alleviates hypoxia, which reprograms the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment toward immunostimulation and improves drug delivery and therapeutic outcomes. Indeed, in our model, improved vessel function enhanced the delivery of oxygen and drugs, increased the number of effector immune cells, and decreased the number of regulatory T cells, which in turn killed a larger number of cancer cells, including cancer stem-like cells. Vessel function was further improved owing to decompression of intratumoral vessels as a result of increased killing of cancer cells, setting up a positive feedback loop. Our model enables evaluation of the relative importance of these mechanisms, and suggests guidelines for the optimal use of metronomic therapy.
