Improved arterial wall model by coculturing vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells

We have constructed an in vitro arterial wall model by coculturing bovine arterial endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs). When ECs were seeded directly over SMCs and cocultured in an ordinary culture medium, ECs grew sparsely and did not form a confluent monolayer. Addition of ascorbic acid to the culture medium at concentrations greater than 50 μg/ml increased the production of type IV collagen by the SMCs, and ECs formed a confluent monolayer covering the entire surface of SMCs. Histological studies showed that the thickness of the cell layer composed of ECs and SMCs increased with increasing duration of coculture. This arterial wall model, prepared by our method, may serve as a simple and good in vitro model to study the effects of factors such as biological chemicals and shear stress on cell proliferation and other physiological functions of arterial walls.     

Proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the inner and outer layers of the tunica media of arteries: an in vitro study

During the development of atherosclerotic and fibromuscular proliferates/lesions, smooth muscle cells (SMC) in the media, particularly near the lumen, are activated to migrate into the intima, where they continue to proliferate to form an intimal thickening. It is to date unclear whether SMCs situated adjacent to the adventitia possess a lower capacity to proliferate because they are a special subpopulation of medial SMCs or because the adventitia excerts an inhibitory effect. We have, therefore, developed an in vitro system whereby we have attempted to clear up this uncertainty. The following observations were made from the in vitro experiments: Media-explants from rabbit aorta were laid on a polycarbonate filter with pores 5 microns in diameter. The SMCs migrated through the pores and formed a fibromuscular proliferate on the other side of the filter. Endothelial cells were seeded on one side of the filter before media-explants were laid on the other side of the filter. The confluent endothelium inhibited migration of SMCs through the filter pores. Media-explants were placed between two polycarbonate filters (pores 5 microns diameter). In this "sandwich" arrangement SMCs migrated through both filters, i.e., in both directions. The quantity of migrating and proliferating cells through both filters was almost identical. This suggests that there is no difference in the migratory and proliferative capacity of SMCs in the inner and outer layers in the media of arteries. To investigate the influence of the adventitia on medial SMCs, media-explants were placed between a lower (5 microns) and an upper (0.2 micron) filter. On the 0.2 micron filter adventitia-explants were laid above the media-explants. The 0.2 micron filter prevented migration of SMCs from the media-explant into the adventitia and migration of fibroblasts from the adventitia into the media. Interestingly, the adventitial tissue inhibited proliferation of SMCs at the abluminal and migration and proliferation at the luminal side of the media-explant; the number of cells migrating through the 5 microns pores at the luminal side was diminished, suggesting that the adventitial tissue has an antiproliferative influence on SMCs. Moreover, it was found that in media-explants near the filter with adventitia, the medial SMCs were in a better preserved condition than at the de-endothelialised luminal side. As a control, cultures consisting of media-explants were incubated without filters (i.e., explant organ cultures). The proliferates in the concavity (luminal side) exhibited a pattern of proliferating SMCs different from that of the cells at the abluminal convexity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)     

The effect of coculture with human smooth muscle cells on the proliferation,the IL‐1 β secretion,the PDGF production and tube formation of human aortic endothelial cells

Endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs), which are the major component cells of blood vessels, produce various bioactive substances and communicate with each other through them. Although several studies of the interaction between ECs and SMCs have been reported, the effect of coculture with SMCs on ECs is still obscure. To clarify the interaction of ECs and SMCs, we examined the effect of coculture with SMCs on the proliferation, the IL‐1β secretion, the PDGF production and tube formation of ECs, using the coculture model: transferable wells and collagen gel. IL‐1 and PDGF are considered to be related to progression of atherosclerosis. Proliferation and tube formation of ECs are associated with repair of vessels. In the transferable well system coculture with SMCs stimulated the proliferation of ECs, and enhanced the IL‐1β secretion of ECs and in the collagen gel system coculture with SMCs induced the tube formation of ECs, and appeared to enhance the PDGF production of ECs. In conclusion, the effect of coculture with SMCs on ECs has two conflicting aspects: progression of atherosclerosis and angiogenesis. These results suggest that an imbalance of their effects may lead to pathological events. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Conjugation of heparin into carboxylated pullulan derivatives as an extracellular matrix for endothelial cell culture

A carboxylated pullulan, for use as a structural material for a number of tissue engineering applications, was synthesized and conjugated with heparin. By immobilization of heparin to pullulan, endothelial cells (ECs) attached on the heparin-conjugated pullulan were more aggregated than when attached to other pullulan derivatives. Attachments were 50, 45, 49, and 90% for a polystyrene dish, pullulan acetate, carboxylated pullulan, and heparin-conjugated pullulan, respectively. Heparin-conjugated pullulan inhibited the proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in vitro. Heparin-conjugated pullulan material can thus be used for the proliferation of vascular ECs and to inhibit the proliferation of SMCs.

Porcine aortic organ culture: a model to study the cellular response to vascular injury

Organ cultures of porcine thoracic aorta were studied to define the characteristics of this system as a model to study the reaction of endothelial cells (ECs) and the underlying smooth muscle cells (SMCs) to injury. Both nonwounded and wounded cultures, the latter having had part of the endothelial surface gently denuded with a scalpel blade, were studied over a 7 d period by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the nonwounded ECs underwent a shape change from elongated to polygonal within 24 h in culture. In both nonwounded and wounded explants there was cell proliferation beneath the nondenuded endothelium so that by 7 d several layers of cells were present showing features of the secretory type of SMCs. This proliferation, however, did not occur if the endothelium was totally removed from the aorta. There was also evidence of gaps between the surface ECs, and by 7 d lamellipodia of cells beneath the surface were present in these gaps. Occasionally, elongated cells were seen to be present on the surface of the endothelium. In the wounded organ culture, cell migration and proliferation occurred extending from the wound edge and producing a covering of cells on the denuded area. There were also multilayered cells beneath the surface similar to the nonwounded area. Occasional foam cells were seen in the depth of the multilayered proliferating cells. The results indicate that organ culture of porcine thoracic aorta is a good model to study the reaction of ECs and underlying SMCs to injury.
