Project description:Kaposi sarcoma is the most common cancer in AIDS patients and is typified by red skin lesions. The disease is caused by the KSHV virus (HHV8) and is recognizable by its distinctive red skin lesions. The lesions are KSHV infected spindle cells, most commonly the lymphatic endothelial and blood vessel endothelial cells (LEC and BEC), plus surrounding stroma. Here we examine KSHVs modulation of Notch signaling using wild-type LEC cells co-cultured with DLL4 and JAG1 expressing LEC cells. Experiment Overall Design: There are 1) n=2 of LEC control cells co-cultured with pSIN expressing LEC, 2) n=3 of LEC co-cultured with pSIN-Dll4 expressing LEC, and 3) n=3 of LEC co-cultured with pSIN-JAG1 expressing LEC.

Project description:During embryonic development, the lymphatic system emerges by transdifferentiation from the cardinal vein. Although lymphatic and blood vasculature share a close molecular and developmental relationship, they display distinct features and functions. However, even after terminal differentiation, transitions between the two endothelial cell types have been reported. Since changes in phenotypic plasticity and cellular differentiation processes frequently involve epigenetic mechanisms, we wondered whether DNA methylation might play a role in regulating cell type-specific expression in endothelial cells. By analyzing global gene expression and methylation patterns of primary human dermal lymphatic and blood endothelial cells, we identified a highly significant set of genes, which were differentially methylated and expressed. Pathway analyses of the differentially methylated and upregulated genes in lymphatic endothelial cells revealed involvement in developmental and transdifferentiation processes. We further identified a set of novel genes, which might be implicated in regulating BEC-LEC plasticity and could serve as therapeutic targets and/or biomarkers in vascular diseases associated with alterations in the endothelial phenotype. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 16 samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.1

Expression profile of 10 lymphatic endothelial cells was compared to that of 6 blood endothelial cells, no replicates, no control samples.

Project description:Kaposi sarcoma is the most common cancer in AIDS patients and is typified by red skin lesions. The disease is caused by the KSHV virus (HHV8) and is recognizable by its distinctive red skin lesions. The lesions are KSHV infected spindle cells, most commonly the lymphatic endothelial and blood vessel endothelial cells (LEC and BEC), plus surrounding stroma. The effects of KSHV infection of LECs were assayed using Affymetrix hgu133plus2 chips at 6 and 72 hours post infection. There were n=4 each of lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) following 6 hours of culture, LEC following 6 hours post KSHV infection, LEC following 72 hours of culture, and LEC following 72 hours post KSHV infection.

Project description:Kaposi sarcoma is the most common cancer in AIDS patients and is typified by red skin lesions. The disease is caused by the KSHV virus (HHV8) and is recognisable by its distinctive red skin lesions. The lesions are KSHV-infected spindle cells, most commonly the lymphatic endothelial and blood vessel endothelial cells (LEC and BEC), plus surrounding stroma. The KSHV virus expresses multiple microRNA in a single cluster. Here we test the effects of this KSHV microRNA cluster in LEC cells using Affymetrix hgu133plus2 chips. Experiment Overall Design: There are n=3 of: 1. LEC control with empty vector pSIN-MCS (LEC), 2. LEC transfected with the same vector containing the KSHV microRNA cluster.

Project description:Angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis have important roles in cancer progression and chronic inflammatory diseases, but efficient therapies against these diseases have been hampered by the lack of identified vascular lineage-specific markers and growth factors. Using transcriptional profiling of matched pairs of human dermal blood vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells, we first identified 236 lymphatic and 342 blood vascular signature genes. In silico analyses of the biologic pathways associated with these genes revealed lineage-specific functions for each cell type. Using a selection of 85 identified vascular lineage-specific genes, we developed a TaqMan RT-PCR-based, microfluidic card-formatted low-density microvascular differentiation array (LD-MDA) that was used to reliably identify and quantify the degree of lineage-specific differentiation in different types of endothelial cells, and to detect admixture of lymphatic endothelial cells in commercial preparations of microvascular endothelial cells. Application of Prediction Relevance Ranking and analysis of variance of LD-MDA expression profiles of 43 lesional skin samples obtained from patients with the chronic inflammatory disease psoriasis led to identification of cytokines which are significantly associated with angiogenesis or lymphangiogenesis in vivo. In particular, interleukin-7 and fibroblast growth factor-12 were identified as novel (lymph)angiogenic factors. This technology provides a novel tool to quantify lineage-specific vascular differentiation and to characterize (lymph)angiogenesis in clinical samples obtained from angiogenic diseases. Keywords: Quantitative real time RT-PCR, cell type comparison Guided by the gene array results, we selected 54 LEC-specific genes and 31 BEC-specific genes, based upon their consistent and strong specific expression in LEC or BEC, as well as on their assignment to important biological pathways. In addition, the five pan-endothelial cell marker genes PECAM-1, vWF, KDR, TEK, CDH5 and the six endogenous control genes ACTB, GAPDH, PGK1, PPIA, RPLP0 and S18 were included in the design of the LD-MDA. The LD-MDA was then used to evaluate the lineage-specific differentiation of a total of 10 independent lines of primary human dermal LEC, of 8 independent lines of primary human dermal BEC, of two independent lines of HUVEC cells, of the immortalized human microvascular endothelial cell line HMEC-1, of the immortalized human epidermal keratinocyte line HaCaT, and of primary human dermal fibroblasts. After extraction of total RNA, the mRNA expression levels of the 96 genes were analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR using the 7900HT Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems).
