It has been demonstrated that maternal drinking during pregnancy had serious adverse effects on the health of the newborns. Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is the most important developmental abnormality caused by maternal alcohol abuse during pregnancy. Clinically, it is characterized by head and facial ab-normalities, cardiovascular malformation, and perma-nent nervous system damage[1,2]. A lot of experimental models have been developed to study the ethanol’s effects on embryonic development,… 相似文献

In vitro endothelial cell organization into capillaries is a long standing challenge of tissue engineering. We recently showed the utility of low level interstitial flow in guiding the organization of endothelial cells through a 3-D fibrin matrix-containing covalently bound vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Here this synergistic phenomenon was extended to explore the effects of matrix composition on in vitro capillary morphogenesis of human blood versus lymphatic endothelial cells (BECs and LECs). Different mixtures of fibrin and collagen were used in conjunction with constant concentrations of matrix-bound VEGF and slow interstitial flow over 10 days. Interestingly, the BECs and LECs each showed a distinct preference in terms of organization for matrix composition: LECs organized the most extensively in a fibrin-only matrix, while BEC organization was optimized in the compliant collagen-containing matrices. Furthermore, the BECs and LECs produced architecturally different structures; while BECs organized in thick, branched networks containing wide lumen, the LECs were elongated into slender, overlapping networks with fine lumen. These data demonstrate the importance of the 3-D matrix composition in facilitating and coordinating BEC and LEC capillary morphogenesis, which is important for in vitro vascularization of engineered tissues. 相似文献

The neovascularization of tissues is accomplished by two distinct processes: de novo formation of blood vessels through the assembly of progenitor cells during early prenatal development (vasculogenesis), and expansion of a pre-existing vascular network by endothelial cell sprouting (angiogenesis), the main mechanism of blood vessel growth in postnatal life. Evidence exists that adult bone marrow (BM)-derived progenitor cells can contribute to the formation of new vessels by their incorporation into sites of active angiogenesis. Aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro self-organizing capacity of human BM mononuclear cells (BMMNC) to induce vascular morphogenesis in a three-dimensional (3D) matrix environment in the absence of pre-existing vessels. Whole BMMNC as well as the adherent and non-adherent fractions of BMMNC were embedded in fibrin gels and cultured for 3-4 weeks without additional growth factors. The expression of hematopoietic-, endothelial-, smooth muscle lineage, and stem cell markers was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and confocal laser-scanning microscopy. The culture of unselected BMMNC in 3D fibrin matrices led to the formation of cell clusters expressing the endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) markers CD133, CD34, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2, and c-kit, with stellar shaped spreading of peripheral elongated cells forming tube-like structures with increasing complexity over time. Cluster formation was dependent on the presence of both adherent and non-adherent BMMNC without the requirement of external growth factors. Developed vascular structures expressed the endothelial markers CD34, VEGFR-2, CD31, von Willebrand Factor (vWF), and podocalyxin, showed basement-membrane-lined lumina containing CD45+ cells and were surrounded by alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) expressing mural cells. Our data demonstrate that adult human BM progenitor cells can induce a dynamic self organization process to create vascular structures within avascular 3D fibrin matrices suggesting a possible alternative mechanism of adult vascular development without involvement of pre-existing vascular structures. 相似文献

Summary Selected strains of vascular endothelial cells, grown as confluent monolayers on tissue culture plastic, generate flat networks
of cellular cords that resemble beds of capillaries—a phenomenon referred to as “spontaneous angiogenesis in vitro”. We have
studied spontaneous angiogenic activity by a clonal population (clone A) of bovine aortic endothelial cells to indentify processes
that mediate the development of cellular networks. Confluent cultures of clone A endothelial cells synthesized type I collagen,
a portion of which was incorporated into narrow, extracellular cables that formed a planar network beneath the cellular monolayer.
The collagenous cables acted as a template for the development of cellular networks: flattened, polygonal cells of the monolayer
that were in direct contact with the cables acquired spindle shapes, associated to form cellular cords, and became elevated
above the monolayer. Networks of cables and cellular cords did not form in a strain of bovine aortic endothelial cells that
did not synthesize type I collagen, or when traction forces generated by clone A endothelial cells were inhibited with cytochalasin
D. In a model of cable development, tension applied by a confluent monolayer of endothelial cells reorganized a sheetlike
substrate of malleable type I collagen into a network of cables via the formation and radial enlargement of perforations through
the collagen sheet. Our results point to a general involvement of extracellular matrix templates in two-dimensional (planar)
models of vascular development in vitro. For several reasons, planar models simulate invasive angiogenesis poorly. In contrast,
planar models might offer insights into the growth and development of planar vascular systems in vivo. 相似文献

The CCN family of genes constitutes six members of small secreted cysteine rich proteins, which exists only in vertebrates. The major members of CCN are CCN1 (Cyr61), CCN2 (CTGF), and CCN3 (Nov). CCN4, CCN5, and CCN6 were formerly reported to be in the Wisp family, but they are now integrated into CCN due to the resemblance of their four principal modules: insulin like growth factor binding protein, von Willebrand factor type C, thrombospondin type 1, and carboxy‐terminal domain. CCNs show a wide and highly variable expression pattern in adult and in embryonic tissues, but most studies have focused on their principal role in osteo/chondrogenesis and vasculo/angiogenesis from the aspect of migration, growth, and differentiation of mesenchymal cells. CCN proteins simultaneously integrate and modulate the signals of integrins, bone morphogenetic protein, vascular endothelial growth factor, Wnt, and Notch by direct binding. However, the priority in the use of the signals is different depending on the cell status. Even the equivalent counterparts show a difference in signal usage among species. It may be that the evolution of the CCN family continues to keep pace with vertebrate evolution itself. 相似文献

The existence of endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) with high cell-cycle rate in human umbilical cord blood has been recently shown and represents a challenging strategy for therapeutic neovascularization. To enhance knowledge for future cellular therapy, we compared the phenotypic, functional and gene expression differences between EPC-derived cells generated from cord blood CD34+ cells, and lymphatic and macrovascular endothelial cells (EC) isolated from human foreskins and umbilical veins, respectively. Under appropriate culture conditions, EPC developed into fully matured EC with expression of similar endothelial markers as lymphatic and macrovascular EC, including CD31, CD36, von Willebrand factor FVIII, CD54 (ICAM-1), CD105 (endoglin), CD144 (VE-cadherin), Tie-1, Tie-2, VEGFR-1/Flt-1 and VEGFR-2/Flk-1. Few EPC-derived cells became positive for LYVE-1, indicating their origin from haematopoietic stem cells. However they lacked expression of other lymphatic cell-specific markers such as podoplanin and Prox-1. Functional tests demonstrated that the cobblestone EPC-derived cells up-regulated CD54 and CD62E expression in response to TNF-α, incorporated DiI-acetylated low-density liproprotein and formed cord- and tubular-like structures with capillary lumen in three-dimensional collagen culture – all characteristic features of the vascular endothelium. Structures compatible with Weibel-Palade bodies were also found by electron microscopy. Gene microarray profiling revealed that only a small percentage of genes investigated showed differential expression in EPC-derived cells and lymphatic EC. Among them were adhesion molecules, extracellular matrix proteins and cytokines. Our data point to the close lineage relationship of both types of vascular cells and support the theory of a venous origin of the lymphatic system. 相似文献
