Expression data from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial cells from healthy and diet-induced obesity mice

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the function of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial cells (iPSC-ECs) generated from diabetics, as this could potentially limit subsequent therapeutic use in this patient population. Here, we demonstrate that iPSC-ECs derived from diet-induced obesity (DIO) mice exhibit evidence of endothelial dysfunction. We also observed that mice receiving intramuscular (IM) injections of DIO iPSC-ECs had significantly decreased reperfusion following hindlimb ischemia compared to mice administered with iPSC-ECs from control mice. Hindlimb sections revealed increased muscle atrophy and presence of inflammatory cells in mice receiving iPSC-ECs from DIO mice. When pravastatin was administered to mice receiving DIO iPSC-ECs, a significant increase in reperfusion was observed, which was blunted by co-administration of L-NAME. This study is the first to provide evidence that iPSC-ECs from pre-diabetic mice exhibit signs of endothelial function, and suggest that pravastatin administration may be needed for diabetic patients receiving autologous iPSC-ECs therapy in the clinic. Four samples were analyzed, two from the healthy (control) group and two from the diet-induced obesity group

Project description:Although differentiation of mice embryonic stem cells into vascular endothelial cells (ECs) gives a model for investigating molecular mechanisms of vascular development in vivo, temporal dynamics of gene expressions and chromatin modifications have not been studied until now. Here, we interrogated transcriptome and two histone modifications, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3, with a genome-wide scale during ECs differentiation and elucidated epigenetic switch peculiar to ECs. We find Gata2, Fli1, Sox7, and Sox18 are master regulators from genetic and epigenetic data, these genes were induced after Etv2 activation. These genes have specific histone modification pattern which is repressed by H3K27me3 modification at Flk-sorted mesoderm and changed to the bivalent (H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 both positive) state rapidly after vascular endothelial cells growth factor (VEGF) stimuli. Using a previously reported ECs differentiation model, we demonstrate that four transcription factors are critical for ECs specific gene expressions and efficient differentiation. Moreover, from knockdown experiments using si-RNA, we discovered these factors inhibited not only TGFÎ² signaling pathway, that is endothelial mesenchymal transition pathway, but also other near lineage commitment, including blood cells, skeletal muscle cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and cardiomyocytes. We further identify each factor specific target genes during ECs differentiation by microarray, including both activating and repressing genes. Together, our findings from a detailed epigenetic approach provide a basic understanding temporal regulated chromatin signatures and resulting gene expression profile during ECs commitment, which is applicable to other models of differentiation and production of mature and long lasting ECs for regenerative medicine. Total 17 samples were derived from [1] ES cells, Flk-sorted mesoderm cells, and in the absense or presence of VEGF (6, 12, 24, and 48h) to determine VEGF activated genes during endothelial cells differentiation, [2] control si-RNA, si-Gata2, si-Fli1, si-Sox7, or si-Sox18 transfected cells under VEGF stimuli, [3] control si-RNA or si-Mix (si-Gata2, si-Fli1, si-Sox7, and si-Sox18) transfected cells under VEGF stimuli for the identification of each transcription factor dependent genes during endothelial cells differentiation.
