Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are cultured cells that can give rise to mature mesenchymal cells under appropriate conditions, and secrete a number of biologically relevant molecules that may play an important role in regenerative medicine. Evidence indicates that pericytes (PCs) correspond to mesenchymal stem cells in vivo and can give rise to MSCs when cultured, but a comparison between the gene expression profiles of cultured PCs (cPCs) and MSCs is lacking. We have devised a novel methodology to isolate PCs from human adipose tissue, and compared cPCs to MSCs obtained through traditional methods. Freshly isolated PCs expressed CD34, CD140b, and CD271 on their surface, but not CD146. Both MSCs and cPCs were able to differentiate along mesenchymal pathways in vitro, displayed an essentially identical surface immunophenotype, and exhibited the ability to suppress CD3+ lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. Microarray expression data of cPCs and MSCs formed a single cluster among other cell types. Further analyses showed that the gene expression profiles of cPCs and MSCs are extremely similar, although MSCs differentially expressed endothelial cell-specific transcripts. These results confirm, using the power of transcriptomic analysis, that PCs give rise to MSCs, and suggest that low levels of endothelial cells may persist in MSC cultures established using traditional protocols. Highly purified human adipose-tissue pericytes (AT3G5Cs) were isolated based on the expression of the antigen detected by the 3G5 antibody, lack of expression of CD31, and ability to adhere to tissue-cultured plastic whithin a short time. The in vitro properties of cultured AT3G5Cs were compared to those of adipose tissue mesenchymal stromal cells (ATMSCs) obtained through traditional methods. Gene expression profiles of cultured AT3G5Cs (n = 3 different biological samples) and ATMSCs (n = 3 different biological samples) were compared to each other by statistical analyses. Gene expression profiles of cultured AT3G5Cs and ATMSCs were compared to those of other cell types by clustering analyses.

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 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

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.

Project description:Pericytes (PCs) are a subset of perivascular cells that can give rise to mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) when culture-expanded, and are postulated to give rise to MSC-like cells during tissue repair in vivo. PCs have been suggested to behave as stem cells (SCs) in situ in animal models, although evidence for this role in humans is lacking. Here, we analyzed the transcriptomes of highly purified, non-cultured adipose tissue (AT)-derived PCs (ATPCs) to detect gene expression changes that occur as they acquire MSC characteristics in vitro, and evaluated the hypothesis that human ATPCs exhibit a gene expression profile compatible with an AT SC phenotype. The results showed ATPCs are non-proliferative and express genes characteristic not only of PCs (e.g., PDGFRB, NGFR, CSPG4, ACTA2, ALPL, NESTIN, LEPR, CXCL12, SEPT4, and GLI1), but also of AT stem/progenitor cells previously described in mice (BHLHE22, ZNF423, CYP7B1, FABP4, PPARG, and CD34). Additional analyses defined a gene expression signature for AT PCs, and revealed putative novel AT PC markers (e.g., APOD, ARC, SPARCL1, OMD, IGF1, EDNRB, and TNMD). Various transcripts, including NGFR, LEPR, and almost all AT stem/progenitor cell genes differentially expressed by ATPCs were not expressed by ATMSCs or culture-expanded PCs. Genes expressed by ATMSCs but not by ATPCs (e.g., CDH2, SSTR1, and FGF1) were also identified. These findings strengthen the hypothesis that PCs are SCs in vascularized tissues, highlight gene expression changes they undergo as they assume an MSC phenotype, and provide new insights into PC biology.

Project description:The influence of 2D and 3D cell culture platforms on vascular function was investigated by comparing gene expression for human pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial cells (H1-ECs), primary human brain vascular pericytes (pericytes), and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) cultured on tissue culture polystyrene (TCP, “2D”), on or in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels formed via “thiol-ene” photopolymerization, and on or in gelled Matrigel. ECs cocultured with pericytes in PEG formed vascular networks with global gene expression that was highly correlated to a standard 3D Matrigel assay (Spearman’s coefficients ≥ 0.98). H1-ECs, HUVECs, and pericytes were characterized gene expression signatures associated with the cell cycle and mitosis when cultured on TCP surfaces compared to cells cultured on top of or encapsulated in PEG hydrogels or Matrigel. The proliferative signature was not necessarily a function of the 2D format, since endothelial cells cultured on PEG hydrogels were not characterized by increased proliferation or a proliferative gene signature compared to cells encapsulated in PEG hydrogels. The proliferative phenotype for H1-ECs on TCP was regulated by FAK-ERK activity, and inhibition or knockdown of ERK pathway signaling decreased proliferation and cell cycle genes while increasing expression of “3D-like” vasculature development genes. Our results suggest that cells in 2D culture adopt a highly proliferative state that interferes with normal vascular function and provides unique insight into the importance of cellular and extracellular context for in vitro tissue modeling.

Project description:Smooth muscle cells and pericytes are mural cells. Pericytes can differentiate into myofibroblasts, chondrocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, and adipocytes, marking them as a distinct progenitor population. Our goal was to molecularly define the progenitor cell populations in human adipose tissues and test the adipogenic potential of human mural cells. Single-cell transcriptomic profiling of primary human cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) treated with either lipogenic media or VSMC differentiation media was conducted to elucidate signals associated with the lipogenic phenotype observed in these primary vascular cells.

EPCs (CD45-CD34+CD31+CD13-CCRL2+) can generate endothelial cells. ASCs (CD45-CD34+CD31-CD13+CD140b+) are mesenchymal progenitors which generated pericytes.

Project description:To identify candidates of interest that were more highly expressed in BAT than WAT, we conducted RNAseq in human primary brown and white adipocytes. Adipose tissue was obtained from the central compartment of the neck, superior to the clavicle and deep to the lateral thyroid lobe either adjacent to the longus colli muscle or to the oesophagus (brown adipose tissue) and more superficially from the subcutaneous neck tissue (white adipose tissue). The stromal vascular fraction was isolated and cultured as described (Ramage, Akyol et al. 2016 doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2016.06.011). Following differentiation, cells were cultured in serum-stripped medium for 48 hours prior to RNA extraction and subsequent bulk RNA-seq.
