Project description:Human pericytes demonstrate multilineage differentiation potential, and their descendants participate in tissue homeostasis and repair. Increasing evidence from developmental biology and tissue engineering suggest that regional specification by tissue of origin exists among human pericytes.Here, we sought to define the differentiation of CD146+ human pericytes from skeletal and soft tissue sources. Uncultured CD146+CD31-CD45- pericytes were derived by fluorescent activated cell sorting from human periosteum, adipose, or dermal tissue. Periosteal CD146+CD31-CD45- cells retained canonical features of pericytes, including cell surface marker expression, multilineage differentiation potential, and paracrine induced tubulogenesis. Periosteal pericytes demonstrated a striking tendency to undergo osteoblastogenesis, while soft tissue pericytes did not in vitro or in vivo. Microarray analysis demonstrated enrichment in CXCR4 and BMP signaling among periosteal pericytes in comparison to their soft tissue pericyte counterparts. Signaling pathway manipulation of CXCR4 among soft tissue pericytes led to an increase in osteoblastogenesis and bone formation. In sum, skeletal and soft tissue pericytes differ in their relative lineage differentiation potential and ability to form bone. Plasticity exists, however, and manipulation of CXCR4 signaling pathway may ‘coax’ a soft tissue pericyte toward an osteoblastogenic cell fate.

Microarray analysis demonstrated substantive differences between periosteal pericytes in comparison to their soft tissue pericyte counterparts. In sum, skeletal and soft tissue pericytes differ in their relative lineage differentiation potential and ability to form bone. Human tissues were microdissected, digested, and FACS sorted to derived a CD146+CD31-CD45- pericyte population, and cells were expanded in standard growth medium (DMEM, 10% FBS, 1% pen/strep) and nucleic acid isolated at subconfluency

Project description:The objective of this array was to determine the global gene expression profile of human placental pericytes for comparison with other publicly available arrays of pericytes and mesenchymal stromal cells isolated from various human tissues. Pericytes are critical cellular components of the microvasculature that play a major role in vascular development and pathologies, yet their study has been hindered by lack of a standardized method for their isolation and growth. Here we report a method for culturing human pericytes from a readily available tissue source, placenta, and provide a thorough characterization of resultant cell populations. We developed an optimized protocol for obtaining pericytes by outgrowth from microvessel fragments recovered after enzymatic digestion of human placental tissue. We characterized outgrowth populations by immunostaining, by gene expression analysis, and by functional evaluation of cells implanted in vivo. Our approach yields human pericytes that may be serially expanded in culture and that uniformly express the cellular markers NG2, CD90, CD146, α-SMA, and PDGFR-β, but lack markers of smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and leukocytes. When co-implanted with human endothelial cells into C.B-17 SCID/bg mice, human pericytes invest and stabilize developing human endothelial cell-lined microvessels. We conclude that our method for culturing pericytes from human placenta results in the expansion of functional pericytes that may be used to study a variety of questions related to vascular biology. Total RNA from three different pericyte isolations at subculture 1 was collected and examined for relative gene expression.

Project description:We demonstrated that deletion of the p53 tumor suppressor gene in NG2 expressing cells resulted in the development of bone and soft tissue sarcomas that closely resemble human tumors. To determine gene expression differences between NG2 expressing pericytes lacking p53 and sarcomas that arose from deletion of p53 in NG2 expressing cells, RNA sequencing analysis was implemented.

Project description:This study aims to investigate differentially expressed proteins in tumor pericytes with or without TCAF2-ovexpression. Tumor pericytes were isolated from tumor of patients with colorectal cancer. Then, tumor pericytes were cultured, transfected with vector or TCAF2 overexpressing plasmid. Top ten cytokines were screened and Wnt5a was the most significant one.

Project description:This study aims to investigate differentially expressed proteins in tumor pericytes derived from colorectal cancer patients with or without liver metastasis. Tumor pericytes were isolated from tumor of colorectal cancer patients with or without liver metastasis. Then, tumor pericytes were cultured and subjected to proteomic analysis. TCAF2 was significantly increased in tumor pericytes from liver metastasis patients.

Project description:Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the leading cause of blindness in working-age people. Pericyte loss is one of the pathologic cellular events in DR, which weakens the retinal microvessels. Damages to the microvascular networks are irreversible and permanent, thus further progression of DR is inevitable. In this study, we hypothesize that multipotent perivascular progenitor cells derived from human ESCs (hESC-PVPCs) improve the damaged retinal vasculature in the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rodent models. We describe a highly efficient and feasible protocol to derive such cells using a natural selection method without cell sorting processes. As a cellular model of pericytes, hESC-PVPCs exhibited marker expressions such as CD140B, CD146, NG2, and functional characteristics of pericytes. Following a single intravitreal injection into diabetic Brown Norway (BN) rats, we demonstrate that the cells localized alongside typical perivascular regions of the retinal vasculature, and stabilized blood-retinal barrier (BRB) breakdown. Findings in this study highlight a therapeutic potential of hESC-PVPCs in DR by mimicking the role of pericytes in vascular stabilization.
