Project description:Many studies have characterized the results of shear stress changes on cultured endothelial cells in different bioreactor systems. However it is still unclear how an invasive intervention like stent procedure may influence the transcriptional response of endothelium. To study the simultaneous effects of shear stress changes and stent application on endothelial gene expression, we have used an experimental apparatus of laminar flow bioreactor (LFB) system with human cultured endothelial cells exposed or not exposed to stent procedure with different flow conditions. Microarray analysis was evaluated in each experimental protocol. HUVECs (2nd and 5th passage) covered on Thermanox slides were submitted to static, low and physiological (0, 1, 5 and 10 dyne/cm2) shear stress in absence (AS) or presence (PS) of stent in LFB system for 24h. Affymetryx analysis has been performed in duplicate by Consortium for Genomic Technologies (Cogentech; Milan, Italy)

Project description:Conventional in vitro methods for biological evaluation of intra-arterial devices such as stents fail to accurately predict cytotoxicity and remodeling events. An ex vivo flow-tunable vascular bioreactor system (VesselBRx), comprising intra- and extra-luminal monitoring capabilities, addresses these limitations. VesselBRx mimics the in vivo physiological, hyperplastic, and cytocompatibility events of absorbable magnesium (Mg)-based stents in ex vivo stent-treated porcine and human coronary arteries, with in-situ and real-time monitoring of local stent degradation effects. Unlike conventional, static cell culture, the VesselBRx perfusion system eliminates unphysiologically high intracellular Mg2+ concentrations and localized O2 consumption resulting from stent degradation. Whereas static stented arteries exhibited only 20.1% cell viability and upregulated apoptosis, necrosis, metallic ion, and hypoxia-related gene signatures, stented arteries in VesselBRx showed almost identical cell viability to in vivo rabbit models (~94.0%). Hyperplastic intimal remodeling developed in unstented arteries subjected to low shear stress, but was inhibited by Mg-based stents in VesselBRx, similarly to in vivo. VesselBRx represents a critical advance from the current static culture standard of testing absorbable vascular implants.

Project description:The arterial endothelium’s response to its flow environment is critical to vascular homeostasis. The endothelial glycocalyx has been shown to play a major role in mechanotransduction, but the extent to which the components of the glycocalyx affect the overall function of the endothelium remains unclear. The objective of this study was to further elucidate the role of heparan sulfate as a mechanosensor on the surface of the arterial endothelium, by (1) expanding the variety of shear waveforms investigated, (2) continuously suppressing heparan sulfate expression rather than using a pre-flow batch treatment, and (3) performing microarray analysis on post-flow samples. Porcine aortic endothelial cells were exposed to non-reversing, reversing, and oscillatory shear waveforms for 24 hours with or without continuous heparan sulfate suppression with heparinase. All shear waveforms significantly increased the amount of heparan sulfate on the surface of the endothelium. Suppression of heparan sulfate to less than 25% of control levels did not inhibit shear-induced cell alignment or nitric oxide production, or alter gene expression, for any of the shear waveforms investigated. We infer that heparan sulfate on the surface of porcine aortic endothelial cells is not the primary mechanosensor for many shear-responsive endothelial cell functions in this species. Porcine aortic endothelial cells were exposed to 3 different shear waveforms for 24 hours with or without the addition of 300 mU/ml heparinase III to the flow media. The shear waveforms inculded Non-reversing (15 ± 15 dyne/cm2, 1 Hz), Steady (15 dyne/cm2), or Oscillatory (0 ± 15 dyne/cm2, 1 Hz) shear. Four replicates of each condition were performed for a total of 24 experiments. Each experimental sample was hybridized to an oligonucleotide array along with a standard reference sample (static cells).

Project description:The lymphatic system removes fluid from the interstitial space and returns it to the blood with a tremendous capacity: during inflammation, lymph flow rates can increase dramatically; however, during chronic lymphedema, there is little or no flow. The ability of lymphatic endothelium to sense and actively regulate this function is unknown, and shear stress is likely a key indicator of lymph flow. We profiled gene expression in human dermal microvascular lymphatic endothelial cells exposed to 0, 2 and 20 dyn/cm2 shear stress as representative of chronic lymphedema, normal, and acute inflammatory conditions, respectively. We found important adaptive responses correlated to multiple aspects of lymphatic function. Importantly, shear stress upregulated intracellular water and solute transporters while decreasing cell-cell adhesion and basement membrane components and increasing cell-matrix interactions. This data indicate that during high loading conditions, both passive and active drainage function increases, while conversely when fluid drainage is blocked, transport function is diminished in the lymphatic endothelium. These data demonstrate the first functional-adaptive response of lymphatic endothelium to flow conditions, thus indicating that the lymphatic endothelium plays an active role in regulating their function. Keywords: Shear stress, dose response, cell type comparison Lymphatic endothelial cells were subjected to 0, 2, or 20 dyn/cm2 shear stress; blood endothelial cells were subjected to 0 or 20 dyn/cm2 shear stress. Four samples were used for each cell type/shear level group for a total of 20 samples. Each sample was independently compared to human universal reference RNA via two-color microarray analysis for a total of 20 arrays. In all cases, the experimental samples were labeled with Cy5 dye while the reference RNA was labeled with Cy3.

Project description:The goal of this study was to find longitudinal transcriptional response of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) to pulsatile shear (PS) and oscillatory shear (OS). PS is associated with an atheroprotective endothelial phenotype, while OS is associated with an atheroprone endothelial phenotype. Using RNASeq method (single-ended 50-bp sequencing on Illumina Hi-seq 2000 instrument), we measured the transcriptional response at 10 time-points (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24 hr) under PS and OS conditions. Low flow scenario was used as static condition. Two replicates were used for each condition/time-point. Results: Through combining the temporal data on differentially expressed transcription factors and their targets with existing knowledge on relevant functional pathways, we infer the causal relationships between disparate endothelial functions through common transcriptional regulation mechanisms. Our study presents the first comprehensive temporally longitudinal experimental study and mechanistic model of shear stress response. By comparing the relative endothelial expressions of genes between OS and PS, we provide novel insights and an integrated perspective into endothelial cell function in response to differential shear.

Project description:Shear stress is known to regulate endothelial cell orientation along the direction of flow. We asked wither cellular patterning along, in the absence of shear could have similar biological effects as shear. We used DNA microarrays to examine the effect of cellular patterning on their transcriptome. Human microvascular endothelial cells were cultured in parallel micropatterned channels (30um wide channels, 30um apart) composed of polydimethylsiloxane, followed DNA Microarray analysis (Affymetrix 1.0 ST array)

Project description:An unanticipated complication of the use of bare metal stents in percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty is in-stent restenosis resulting in >50% late lumen diameter loss in treated patients. In an effort to reduce in-stent restenosis, drug eluting stents containing the immunosuppressant sirolimus or zotarolimus have recently been developed. We report here the molecular response of arterial tissue to the implanting of these drug-eluting stents.

Project description:SOX13 was identified as a novel flow-sensitive transceiption factor. We found that siRNA-mediated knockdown of SOX13 increased endothelial inflammatory responses even under the unidirectional laminar shear stress (ULS, mimicking s-flow) condition. To understand the underlying mechanisms, we conducted an RNAseq study in HAECs treated with SOX13 siRNA under shear conditions (ULS vs. oscillatory shear mimicking d-flow). We found 94 downregulated and 40 upregulated genes that changed in a shear- and SOX13-dependent manner. Several cytokines, including CXCL10 and CCL5, were the most strongly upregulated genes in HAECs treated with SOX13 siRNA.

Project description:The objective of this study was to advance the understanding of how in vivo arterial shear forces affect vascular endothelial gene expression. Complicated blood flow patterns at arterial branches create small regions that experience fluctuations in shear stress at frequencies higher than the heart rate. To assess whether such temporal variations in shear stress can affect endothelial gene expression, a series of in vitro microarray experiments was performed. The effects of three sinusoidal waveforms (1, 2, and 3 Hz) and one physiological waveform were compared to the expression profiles under steady flow. At each frequency, three levels of mean shear stress (0, 7.5, and 15 dyn/cm2) were used. Porcine aortic endothelial cells were exposed for 24 hours to each combination, replicated four times. Following shear exposure, phase contrast images of the cells were acquired, and RNA was extracted for microarray analysis against about 10,000 porcine oligonucleotides. Cell alignment with the flow was positively correlated with mean shear (p < 0.001) and independent of frequency. A two-way ANOVA identified 232 genes that were differentially regulated by frequency. The frequency sensitive genes were clustered to identify groups of genes exhibiting similar frequency responses. The largest response was seen at 2 Hz. At this frequency, several inflammatory molecules were upregulated, including VCAM, CTGF, TGF-beta2, c-jun, and IL-8, indicating a potential endothelial atherosusceptibility at this frequency. Mean shear significantly affected the expression of ~3,000 genes. Purely oscillatory flow (zero mean shear) enhanced the expression of several growth factors and adhesion molecules (E-selectin, VCAM, MCP-1, IL-8, c-jun), relative to non-reversing flow (15 dyn/cm2 mean shear). The 2 Hz upregulation of certain atherogenic molecules such as VCAM, c-jun, and IL-8 was enhanced as the mean shear was reduced. Thus, the inflammatory response evoked at certain frequencies appears to be exacerbated by low, oscillatory shear. Keywords: Shear stress response
