High-Purity Production of Endothelial Cells from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: Endothelial cells (ECs) are essential for vascular network formation and tissue homeostasis, yet the fields of tissue engineering and vascularized organoid generation still relies heavily on human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs), which are venous, allogeneic, and difficult to mature fully. Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offer an autologous, developmentally flexible alternative, but most differentiation protocols require fluorescence-activated cell sorting, limiting scalability. Here we present a streamlined method that produces highly pure ECs directly from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) without cell sorting. Extending Wnt activation with CHIR99021 to three days maximizes mesoderm induction, and brief Notch blockade with DAPT during specification suppresses smooth-muscle commitment. The result is over 90 % CD31⁺ CD144⁺ ECs that display classic cobblestone morphology, robust DiI-acetylated LDL uptake, and capillary-like sprouting comparable to HUVECs. Bulk RNA barcoding and sequencing segregates the hESC-derived ECs from both HUVECs and undifferentiated hESCs and uncovers an arterial-skewed transcriptome: NOTCH1, DLL4, and CXCR4 are up-regulated, whereas venous markers (EPHB4, NRP2) are reduced. Enrichment of Notch-responsive pathways further supports an arterial-like identity. Although several adult functional genes (e.g., vWF, NOS3) are expressed at lower levels than in HUVECs, the protocol delivers a scalable source of developmentally relevant ECs ideal for vascularizing organoids derived from the same hPSCs and for future applications in drug screening, disease modeling, and cell-based vascular therapies.

Gene expression of APJ deficient endothelial cell

Project description:Molecular pathways regulating the development of arterial and venous endothelial cells (ECs) are now well-established, but control of parallel arterial-venous (A-V) alignment is unclear. We report that arterial-venous alignment in the skin is determined by apelin receptor (APJ) expression in venous ECs. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in endothelial cells that has relationship with the deficient of APJ. Endothelial cells were marked and isolated by Fluorescence-activated cell sorting in Trizol.

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

Early and extensive venous arterialization during mammalian embryogenesis

Project description:The cellular evolutions and molecular programs underlying the arteriovenous fate settling of embryonic vascular endothelial cells (ECs) are critical for understanding arteriogenesis and inspiring new approaches for regenerative biology. Using different strategies of single-cell RNA sequencing, we constructed the transcriptional landscape of early arteriovenous EC development in both mouse and human embryos, demonstrating the evolutionary conservation of principal vascular EC types and providing a series of conserved arteriovenous genes. We showed an unexpected diversity of arteriovenous characteristics in morphologically alike vascular plexus and further uncovered two transcriptomically distinct arterial EC types, whereas most of heterologous ligand-receptor pairs were shared by different arterial vasculatures. By computational predicting and further genetic lineage tracing, we revealed the widespread venous arterialization in the mid-gestational mouse embryo proper. Interestingly, we demonstrated at transcriptomic level that Notch1 was dispensable for venous arterialization but required subsequently for the arterial feature strengthening in the arterial plexus ECs. Altogether, our findings unprecedentedly detail the comprehensive single-cell mapping of early embryonic vascular ECs in vivo, decipher an asymmetric arteriovenous characteristics different than that in adults, and reveal an extensive venous-to-arterial fate conversion in the vascular plexus.

Single-cell transcriptome Atlas reveals embryonic endothelial heterogeneity

Project description:Mature endothelial cells (ECs) are heterogeneous, with subtypes defined by tissue origin and by position within the vascular bed. Here, we performed scRNA-seq with mouse embryonic ECs and identified 19 subclusters, including Etv2+Bnip3+ early EC progenitors. Most of these subtypes were grouped by their vascular-bed types, while ECs from brain, heart and liver were grouped by their tissue origins. Compared to arterial ECs (aECs), embryonic venous (vECs) and capillary ECs (cECs) shared less markers with their adult counterparts. cECs showed some venous characteristics. One cEC cluster with both venous and capillary features served as a branch point for aEC and vEC lineages. aECs and vECs showed distinct transcriptional regulatory networks.

Human Pluripotent Cell Derived Endothelial Cell Characterization

Project description:Human ES or iPS Cells were differentiated into endothelial cells (ECs) defined by expression of CD31 (PECAM1) and CD144 (VE-Cadherin) on the cell surface. All ES or iPS derived ECs were greater than 90% double positive for these two markers. These in vitro derived ECs were compared to each other and to ECs from primary cell sources; arterial (aortic Ecs), venous (saphenous vein) and lymphatic.

Arterialization requires the timely suppression of cell growth

Project description:Arteries are thought to be formed through the induction of a highly conserved arterial genetic programme in a subset of vessels that will later experience an increase in oxygenated blood flow. The initial steps of arterial specification require both VEGF and Notch signalling. Here, we combined inducible genetic mosaics and transcriptomics to modulate and define the function of these signalling pathways in cell proliferation, arteriovenous (AV) differentiation and mobilization. We observed that endothelial cells (ECs) with high VEGF or Notch signalling are intrinsically biased to mobilize and form arteries; nevertheless, they are not genetically pre-determined, and can also form veins. Mechanistically, we found that higher VEGF and Notch signalling in pre-arterial capillaries suppresses Myc-dependent metabolic and cell-cycle activities, promoting the incorporation of ECs in arteries. Mosaic lineage tracing studies revealed that ECs completely lacking the Notch-Rbpj transcriptional activator complex rarely form arteries; however, these cells regained the ability to form arteries when Myc function was suppressed. Thus, arterial development does not require the direct induction of a Notch-dependent arterial differentiation programme, but rather the timely suppression of endothelial cell-cycle progression and metabolism, a process preceding arterial mobilization and complete differentiation.

Hypoxia-induced Arterial Differentiation Requires Adrenomedullin and Notch Signaling

Project description:Hypoxia (low oxygen) and Notch signaling are two important regulators of vascular development, but how they interact in controlling the choice between arterial and venous fates for endothelial cells during vasculogenesis is less well understood. In this report, we show that hypoxia and Notch signaling intersect in promotion of arterial differentiation. Hypoxia upregulated expression of the Notch ligand Dll4 and increases Notch signaling, in a process requiring the vasoactive hormone adrenomedullin but not endogenous VEGF. Notch signaling also upregulated Dll4 expression, leading to a positive feedback loop sustaining Dll4 expression and Notch signaling. In addition, functional Notch signaling was required for hypoxia to upregulate the arterial marker genes Depp, connexin40 (Gja5), Cxcr4 and Hey1. In conclusion, the data reveal an intricate interaction between hypoxia and Notch signaling in the control of endothelial cell differentiation, including a hypoxia/adrenomedullin/Dll4 axis that initiates Notch signaling and a requirement for Notch signaling to effectuate hypoxiamediated induction of the arterial differentiation program.

UNRAVELING A NOVEL TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR CODE INDUCTIVE FOR THE HUMAN ARTERIAL-SPECIFIC ENDOTHELIAL CELL SIGNATURE

Project description:Endothelial cells (EC) lining arteries and veins have distinct molecular and functional signatures. The (epi)genetic regulatory mechanisms underlying this heterogeneity in human EC are incompletely understood. Using genome-wide microarray screening we established a specific fingerprint of freshly isolated arterial (HUAEC) and venous EC (HUVEC) from human umbilical cord comprising 64 arterial and 12 venous genes, representing distinct functions and pathways. Among the arterial genes were 8 transcription factors, including HEY2, a downstream target of Notch signaling and the current ‘golden standard’ pathway for arterial EC specification. Short-term culture of HUAEC or HUVEC abrogated differential gene expression resulting in a default state. Erasure of arterial gene expression was at least in part due to loss of canonical Notch activity and HEY2 expression. Notably, nCounter analysis revealed that restoring HEY2 expression or Delta-like 4 (Dll4)-induced Notch signaling in cultured HUVEC or HUAEC only partially reinstated the arterial EC gene signature while combined overexpression of the 8 transcription factors restored this fingerprint much more robustly. Each transcription factor had a different impact on gene regulation, with some stimulating only few and others boosting a large proportion of arterial genes. Interestingly, although there was some overlap and cross-regulation, the transcription factors largely complemented each other in regulating the arterial EC gene profile. Thus, our study showed that Notch signaling determines only part of the arterial EC signature and identified additional novel and complementary transcriptional players in the complex regulation of human arteriovenous EC identity
