Project description:The vasculature of the liver is highly specialized and critical to organ function as well as future efforts to engineer new liver tissue. One key vascular sub type, the liver sinusoidal endothelial cell (LSEC) lines the hepatic sinusoid mediating functions such as passing nutrients to hepatocytes, scavenging blood components, secreting FVIII, and mediating regeneration. To better understand human LSECs and to generate them from human pluripotent stem cells, we differentiated hPSCs to venous endothelial progenitors known as angioblasts, transplanted them intrahepatically in NSG newborn mice, waited 77-days, and isolated the hPSC-derived cells (DAPI-, tdRFP+) for scRNA-seq. This scRNA-seq sample represents a large number of hPSC-derived, matured hepatic- origin fibroblast and endothelial cell types. Providing a high resolution, large sample population of cells that correlate closely to MacParland et al. (2018, Nat. Commun.) hepatic endothelial clusters providing increased cell population resolution sufficient for human LSEC zonation assessment in a tractable transplantation system.

Project description:Formation and maturation of a functional blood vascular system is required for the development and maintenance of all tissues in the body. During the process of blood vessel development, primordial endothelial cells are formed and become specified toward arterial or venous fates to generate a circulatory network that provides nutrients and oxygen to, and removes metabolic waste from, all tissues. Specification of arterial and venous endothelial cells occurs in conjunction with suppression of endothelial cell cycle progression, and endothelial cell hyperproliferation is associated with potentially lethal arterial-venous malformations. However, the mechanistic role that cell cycle state plays in arterial-venous specification is unknown. Herein, studying vascular development in Cdh5-CreERT2;R26FUCCI2aR reporter mice, we find that venous and arterial endothelial cells exhibit a propensity for different cell cycle states during development and in adulthood. That is, venous endothelial cells are predominantly FUCCI-Negative, while arterial endothelial cells are enriched for the FUCCI-Red reporter. Single cell RNA sequencing analysis of developing retinal endothelial cells reveals that venous endothelial cells are enriched for the FUCCI-Negative state and BMP signaling, while arterial endothelial cells are enriched for the FUCCI-Red state and TGF-b signaling. Further transcriptional analyses and live imaging of cultured endothelial cells expressing the FUCCI reporter show that reporter-negative corresponds to an early G1 state and reporter-red corresponds to late G1 state. We find the early G1 state is essential for BMP4-induced venous gene expression, whereas late G1 state is essential for TGF-b1-induced arterial gene expression. In a mouse model of endothelial cell hyperproliferation and disrupted arterial-venous specification, pharmacological inhibition of endothelial cell cycle prevents the vascular defects. Collectively, our results show that endothelial cell cycle control plays a key role in arterial-venous network formation, and distinct cell cycle states provide distinct windows of opportunity for the molecular induction of arterial vs. venous specification.

Project description:In the heart, cardiomyocytes (CMs) are coupled to capillary endothelial cells (EC), mural cells (e.g. pericytes) and fibroblasts (Fb) promoting structural and electrophysiological tissue maturation as well as vascular network formation. Here, an in vitro model is shown for the investigation of the role of ECs, cardiac pericyte-like cells (PC) and different Fb sources in hPSC-derived bioartificial cardiac tissue (BCT) formation and function. The hPSC-based CMs, ECs, and PCs were differentiated, purified, and characterized for cell-type specific marker expression and function. Differentiated hPSC-PCs were used with hPSC-ECs to generate BCTs and to address their effect on tissue morphology and electromechanical parameters compared to control tissues containing primary dermal or cardiac Fbs.

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) generate hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC), but fail to engraft xenograft models, which is a hallmark feature of adult/somatic hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) from human donors. Progress to derive hPSC-derived HSCs has relied on cell autonomous approaches that force expression of transcription factors (TF), however the role of bone marrow (BM) niche remains poorly understood. Here, we quantified a failure of hPSC-HPCs to survive even in the first 24 h upon transplantation into the BM. Across several hPSC-HPC differentiation methodologies, we identified the lack of CXCR4 expression and network function. Ectopic CXCR4 conferred CXCL12-dependent signaling of hPSC-HPCs in biochemical assays and increased migration/chemotaxis and progenitor capacity, as well as survival and proliferation following transplantation in vivo. In addition, hPSC-HPCs forced to express CXCR4 demonstrated a transcriptional shift toward somatic HPCs, but this approach failed to produce long-term HSC engraftment. Our results reveal that independent of differentiation methods, networks involving CXCR4 should be targeted to generate HSCs with in vivo function from hPSCs.

Project description:Two matched groups of Heart Failure with reduced ejection fraction patients with no peripheral venous congestion were studied: with recent prior heart failure hospitalization vs. without recent heart failure hospitalization. Peripheral venous congestion was modeled by inflating a cuff around the dominant arm, targeting an ~30mmHg increase in venous pressure (venous stress test). Blood and endothelial cells were sampled before and after 90 minutes of venous stress test.
