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. ES and iPS cells were differentiated into Ecs using a directed differentiation protocol using sequential addition of growth factors to recapitulate endogenous differentiation (FGF, BMP4, Activin, VEGF). These ECs were grown until 21 days after the start of differentiation. Primary cells were obtained from a commercial vendor and grown to passage 3 to minimize cellular senescence and in vitro artifacts. The RNA was cleaned and DNAse digested on RNeasy columns (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). RNA was amplified, fragmented and labeled using NuGEN Technologies Applause Plus kits and the manufacturer's instructions. Labeled samples were then hybridized to Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST GeneChips. The GeneChips were then washed and stained on Affymetrix 450 Fluidics Stations and scanned on an Affymetrix 3000 Scanner according to standard protocols.

Project description:We performed lineage tracing experiments using VE-Cadherin-Cre;LoxP-tdTomato mice. In these mice, endothelial cells (ECs) and their progeny are permanently marked by tdTomato fluorescence. We found that a substantial subset of stromal cells is derived from ECs, as indicated by their tdTomato expression. These findings support the notion that endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) contributes to hematopoietic bone marrow niche formation in mice. Here we sought to determine the transcriptomic differences between endothelial-derived (tdTomato-positive) and non-endothelial-derived (tdTomato-negative) bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and osteo/chondrolineage progenitor cells (OLCs). Murine niche populations were obtained from collagenased bone fraction of VE-Cadherin-Cre;LoxP-tdTomato mice at 3 weeks (n=2) or 11 weeks (n=2) of age. BMSCs (CD45-TER119-CD31-CD144-SCA-1+ CD51+ cells) and OLCs (CD45-TER119-CD31-CD144-Sca1-CD51+ cells) were FACS-purified and sequenced.

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.

Project description:Adult endothelial cells (ECs) are known to possess organ-specific gene expression, morphology and function, but whether organ-specific EC gene expression is present during human development is not known. Here, we used bulk RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) to interrogate the developing human intestine, lung, and kidney in order to identify organ-enriched EC-gene signatures. FACS was used to isolate EC (CD31+CD144+, n=13) and non-EC (CD31-CD144-, n=16) populations from these three organs, profiling at least 4 biological replicates for each organ system. The biological specimens profiled were between 11-20 gestational weeks. We also sequenced cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) via bulk RNAseq. Computational approaches were used to identify organ-specific EC-enriched gene signatures across human fetal lung, intestine, and kidney ECs.

Project description:Endothelial differentiation occurs during normal vascular development in the developing embryo. Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells were used to further define the molecular mechanisms of endothelial differentiation. By flow cytometry a population of VEGF-R2 positive cells was identified as early as 2.5 days after differentiation of ES cells, and a subset of VEGF-R2 + cells, that were CD41+ positive at 3.5 days. A separate population of VEGF-R2+ stem cells expressing the endothelial-specific marker CD144 (VE-cadherin) was also identified at this same time point. Microarray analysis of >45,000 transcripts was performed on RNA obtained from cells expressing VEGF-R2, CD41, and CD144. Experiment Overall Design: We identified four populations of cells; cells expressing VEGF-R2 (day 2.5), CD41 expressing cells (day 3.5), cells expressing CD144 (VE-Cadherin, day 3.5), and cells expressing CD144 (day 6.5). In addition to this, we have also obtained the negative control cells at each time such as VEGF-R2 (day 2.5) negative, CD41 negative (day 3.5), CD144 negative (VE-Cadherin, day 3.5), and negative CD144 (day 6.5). RNA for the microarray experiments were obtained in duplicate from two separately conducted experiments using the murine embryonic stem cells..

Project description:How cells acquire their fate is a fundamental question in both developmental and regenerative biology. Multipotent progenitors undergo gradual cell fate restriction in response to temporal and positional cues from the microenvironment, the nature of which is far from being clear. In the case of the lymphatic system, venous endothelial cells are thought to give rise to lymphatic vessels, through a process of trans-differentiation. Upon expression of a set of transcription factors, venous cells acquire a lymphatic fate, and bud out to generate the lymphatic vasculature. In this work we challenge this view and show that while lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) do arise in the Cardinal Vein (CV), they do so from a previously uncharacterized pool of multipotent angioblasts. Using lymphatic-specific transgenic zebrafish, in combination with endothelial photoconvertible reporters, and long-term live imaging, we demonstrate that these multipotent angioblasts can generate not only lymphatic, but also arterious, and venous fates. We further reveal that the underlying endoderm serves as a source of Wnt5b, which acts as a lymphatic inductive signal, promoting the angioblast-to-lymphatic transition. Moreover, Wnt5b induced lymphatic specification in human embryonic stem cells- derived vascular progenitors, suggesting that this process is evolutionary conserved. Our results uncover a novel mechanism of lymphatic vessel formation, whereby multipotent angioblasts and not venous endothelial cells give rise to the lymphatic endothelium, and provide the first characterization of their inductive niche. More broadly, our findings highlight the CV as a plastic and heterogeneous structure containing different cell populations, analogous to the hematopoietic niche in the aortic floor. Following Kaede photoconversion of dorsal or ventral halves of the PCV in Tg(fli1:gal4;uasKaede) embryos at 24 hpf, 6 embryos per group were used for FACS isolation of Kaede photconverted (red) ECs.

Project description: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.

Project description:Oncogenic mutations in PIK3CA, encoding p110α-PI3K, are a common cause of venous and lymphatic malformations. Vessel type-specific disease pathogenesis is poorly understood, hampering development of efficient therapies. Here, we reveal a new immune-interacting subtype of Ptx3-positive dermal lymphatic capillary endothelial cells (iLECs) that recruit pro-lymphangiogenic macrophages to promote progressive lymphatic overgrowth. Mouse model of Pik3caH1047R-driven vascular malformations showed that proliferation was induced in both venous and lymphatic ECs, but sustained selectively in LECs of advanced lesions. Single-cell transcriptomics identified the iLEC population, residing at lymphatic capillary terminals of normal vasculature, that was expanded in Pik3caH1047R mice. Expression of pro-inflammatory genes, including monocyte/macrophage chemokine Ccl2, in Pik3caH1047R-iLECs was associated with recruitment of VEGF-C-producing macrophages. Macrophage depletion, CCL2 blockade or anti-inflammatory COX-2 inhibition limited Pik3caH1047R-driven lymphangiogenesis. Thus, targeting the paracrine crosstalk between iLECs and macrophages provides a new therapeutic opportunity for lymphatic malformations. Identification of iLECs further indicates that peripheral lymphatic vessels not only respond to but also actively orchestrate inflammatory processes.
