Comparison of human embroynic stem cell derived vascular cells to mature human vascular and hematopoietic cells

ABSTRACT: The pathways involved in hierarchical differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) into abundant and durable endothelial cells (EC) are unknown. We employed an EC-specific VE-cadherin promoter driving GFP (hVPr-GFP) to screen for factors that augmented yields of vascular-committed ECs from hESCs. In phase 1 of our approach, inhibition of TGFb, precisely at day 7 of hESC differentiation, enhanced emergence of hVPr-GFP+ ECs by 10-fold. In the second phase, TGFb-inhibition preserved proliferation and vascular identity of purified ECs, resulting in net 36-fold expansion of homogenous EC-monolayers, and allowing transcriptional profiling that revealed a unique angiogenic signature defined by the VEGFR2highId1highVE-cadherin+EphrinB2+CD133+HoxA9- phenotype. Using an Id1-YFP hESC reporter line, we showed that TGFb-inhibition sustained Id1 expression in hESC-derived ECs, which was required for increased proliferation and preservation of EC commitment. These data provide a multiphasic method for serum-free differentiation and long-term maintenance of authentic hESC-derived ECs, establishing clinical-scale generation of transplantable human ECs.

Expression data from three endothelial cell lines derived from murine embryonic stem cells expressing VE-cadherin, N-cadherin or both

Project description:Endothelial cells (ECs) express two members of the cadherin family, VE- and N-cadherin. While VE-cadherin induces EC homotypic adhesion, N-cadherin function in ECs remains largely unknown. EC-specific inactivation of either VE- or N-cadherin leads to early foetal lethality suggesting that these cadherins play a non-redundant role in vascular development. Goal of this study was to further investigate this hypothesis analyzing both additive and divergent functions of the two cadherins in ECs. The three endothelial cell lines were cultured. Total RNA was extracted using commercial homogenization (QIAshredder) and purification (RNeasy Mini Kit) reagents (Qiagen). Quality control (QC) of the RNA samples was performed using an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies). Two different RNA extractions were processed for each of the cell lines under analysis, and each sample was labelled and hybridized to a Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Genechip array according to the manufacturer’s specifications (Affymetrix Inc). Data were analysed using Partek Genomics Suite v6.3 software (RMA algorithm). Differentially expressed genes were identified through ANOVA, using a fold change cutoff >2 and a p-value of 0.05.

Endothelial inhibition of the glycolytic activator PFKFB3 induces tumor vessel normalization, impairs metastasis and improves chemotherapy

Project description:Abnormal tumor vessels promote metastasis and impair chemotherapy. Hence, tumor vessel normalization (TVN) by targeting endothelial cells (ECs) is emerging as anti-cancer treatment. Here, we show that tumor ECs (TECs) have a hyper-glycolytic metabolism, shunting glycolytic intermediates to nucleotide synthesis. EC haplo-deficiency or blockade of the glycolytic activator PFKFB3 did not affect tumor growth, but reduced cancer cell intra- and extravasation and metastasis by normalizing tumor vessels, which improved vessel maturation and perfusion. Mechanistically, PFKFB3 inhibition tightened the vascular barrier by reducing VE-cadherin endocytosis in ECs and rendering glycolytic pericytes more quiescent; it also lowered the expression of cancer cell adhesion molecules in ECs. Additionally, PFKFB3-blockade treatment improved chemotherapy. Considering TEC metabolism for anti-cancer treatment might thus merit further attention.

Gene expression profiling of endothelial cells derived from Foxo1(+/+) and Foxo1(-/-) ES cells in response to VEGF

Project description:VEGF induces elongation of endothelial cells (ECs) that are derived from wild-type (Foxo1(+/+)) ES cells. VEGF-induced EC elongation is an important process of angiogenesis. ECs derived from Foxo1(-/-) ES cells fail to elongate in response to VEGF. Gene expression profiling of wild-type and Foxo1(-/-) ECs in the presence or absence of VEGF stimulation identifies responsible genes that regulate EC elongation. One wild-type (Foxo1(+/+)) ES cell clone and one Foxo1(-/-) ES cell clone were used. ES cells were cultured on OP9 stromal cell layer in the presence or absence of VEGF (10 ng/ml). After 6.5 days, VE-cadherin+ CD31+ ECs were isolated by FACS and used for total RNA extraction. Three independent experiments were performed for each condition.

Vascular niche induction of hematopoietic progenitors from pluripotent stem cells

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells (PSC) represent an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Clinical translation is impeded by limited engraftment of human (h)PSC-multipotent progenitor cells (MPP). This barrier suggests that additional cues are required for definitive hematopoiesis. We hypothesized that vascular niche producing Notch ligands Jagged-1 (JAG1) and Delta-like ligand-4 (DLL4) would drive definitive hematopoiesis. To test our hypothesis, hes2 human embryonic stem cells (hESC) 2 and Macaca nemestrina (Mn) iPSC line-7 were differentiated with cytokines Â± endothelial cells (EC), which express JAG1 and DLL4. EC co-culture supported emergence of 8-fold more CD34+CD45+ cells compared to co-culture with cytokines Â± ECs with JAG1 or DLL4 knockdown. EC-induced cells exhibit Notch activation and express HSC-specific targets of Notch signaling RUNX1 and GATA2. EC-induced PSC-MPP engraft at a higher level in NSG mice compared to cytokine-induced cells (10% >5 months), and selection increased engraftment (30%). Long-term engraftment and the myeloid-to-lymphoid ratio achieved with vascular niche induction is similar to levels achieved for cord blood MPP and up to 20-fold higher than hPSC-MPP engraftment. Our findings identify a previously underappreciated role for endothelial Notch ligands in PSC definitive hematopoiesis and production of long-term engrafting CD34+ cells and suggest they are critical for HSC emergence.

Krüppel-like factor 2 in VCAM1+ endothelial cells is a critical regulator of vascular inflammation

Project description:Endothelial cells (ECs) act as an internal barrier to the vessel wall, hindering the development of inflammation, and only when activated will promote the development of vascular inflammation. However, the heterogeneity of the aortic ECs in the setting of vascular inflammation have not been fully assessed. Here, we defined 4 EC subpopulations, including Cd36+ EC, Notch3+ EC, Vcam1+ EC and Lyve1+ EC. Based on the enrichment analysis, Vcam1+ EC were considered to be a subpopulation of ECs susceptible to activation. After high-fat diet (HFD) intake, decreased expression of Krüppel-like factor 2 (Klf2) occurred only in Vcam1+ EC. Moreover, S1pr1 was validated as a downstream target protein of klf2. Upregulation of Klf2 expression ameliorated vascular ECs inflammation under HFD condition. Our study elucidates the Klf2 in Vcam1+ EC is a critical regulator of vascular inflammation and increases understanding of development and progression of aortic inflammatory disease.

Analysis of Combined Transcriptomes Identifies Gene Modules Differentially Responding to Pathogenic Stimulation in Vascular Smooth Muscle and Endothelial Cells

Project description:Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) constitute vasculature media and endothelium, respectively. Current treatments for cardiovascular disease inhibit SMC hyperplasia but also damage the protective endothelial lining, predisposing patients to thrombosis. Therapeutics targeting SMCs without collateral damage to ECs are highly desirable. However, differential (SMCs versus ECs) disease-associated regulations remain poorly defined. We conducted RNA-seq experiments to investigate SMC-versus-EC differential transcriptomic dynamics, following treatment of human primary SMCs and ECs with TNFα or IL-1β, both established inducers of SMC hyperplasia and EC dysfunction. To analyze combined SMC/EC transcriptomes we developed customized algorithms. Induced by TNFα or IL-1β, 212 and 263 genes respectively showed greater up-regulation in SMCs than in ECs (SMC-enriched), while 140 and 204 genes showed greater up-regulation in ECs over SMCs (EC-enriched). Analysis of gene interaction networks identified 5 common hubs and 4 common bottlenecks in the two SMC-enriched gene sets, and 8 hubs and 3 bottlenecks shared in the EC-enriched gene sets. Significantly, four gene modules were formed with these hubs and bottlenecks. While the JUN module (including JUN, KLF5, HIF1A, CXCL8, FOSL1) and FYN module (FYN, JAK2, MAP2, PIK3R3, DAB2, ASAP2) were SMC-enriched, the SMAD3 (SMAD3, CDKN1A, TRAF1, BCL6, CEBPD, TRIB3, ANK3) and XPO1 (XPO1, ETS2, SSH2, NDRG1, GFPT2?) modules were EC-enriched. As these core subnetworks respond to pathogenic stimulation in a SMC-versus-EC differential manner, they may inform potential intervention targets for selective mitigation of SMC hyperplasia without endothelial damage.

Quiescent endothelial cells upregulate fatty acid β-oxidation for vasculoprotection via redox homeostasis

Project description:Little is known about metabolic changes accompanying endothelial cell (EC) quiescence. Nonetheless, when dysfunctional, quiescent ECs (QECs) contribute to multiple cardiovascular diseases. ECs need fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) for proliferation. Surprisingly, we now report that QECs are not hypo-metabolic, but upregulate FAO >3-fold higher than proliferating ECs (PECs), not to support biomass or energy production, but to sustain the TCA cycle for redox homeostasis through NADPH production. Hence, inhibition of FAO-controlling CPT1A promotes EC dysfunction (anti-fibrinolysis, leukocyte infiltration, barrier disruption) by increasing oxidative stress in CPT1AΔEC mice with endothelial CPT1A loss. Mechanistically, Notch1 orchestrates the use of FAO for redox balance in QECs. Supplementation of acetate (metabolized to acetyl-CoA) induces vasculoprotection against oxidative stress and EC dysfunction in CPT1AΔEC mice, possibly creating therapeutic opportunities. Thus, ECs use FAO for vasculoprotection against their high oxygen (oxidative stress-prone) milieu, and for different metabolic purposes dependent on their proliferation versus quiescence status.

Differential Effects of TiO2 Nanotubes on Vascular Cells

Project description:The response of primary human endothelial (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to TiO2 nanotube arrays is studied through gene expression analysis. Microarrays revealed that nanotubes enhanced EC proliferation and motility, decreased VSMC proliferation, and decreased expression of molecules involved in inflammation and coagulation in both cell types. Network generated from significantly affected genes suggests that cells may be sensing nanotopographical cues via pathways previously implicated in sensing shear stress. DNA microarrays were used to analyze the response of primary human endothelial (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to nanotopographical TiO2 surfaces. The experiment incorporated a 1 color design and used Agilent arrays that contained roughly 44,00 60mer probes that provide complete coverage of the human genome. 19 arrays were hybridized and represent 4 biological replicates for each group ( with the exception of group VSMC-NT30, which has 3 biological replicates). Data was analyzed separately for each cell type ( EC or VSMC). Gene expression comparisons were made between control cells grown on flat titanium (Ti) and cells grown on either 30nm nanotubes (NT30) or 100nm nantubes ( NT-100).
