Expression data from co- and mono-cultured human brain microvascular endothelial cells and human brain vascular pericytes treated with and without estradiol

ABSTRACT: For the formation of the blood-brain barrier not only endothelial cells alone, but also their interaction with surrounding cell types, like pericytes, plays an important role, and co-culture of the two cell types increases barrier function in vitro. Furthermore, observed sex differences with regard to several cardiovascular as well as neurodegenerative disorders have led to the hypothesis that the female sex hormone estrogen might protect from endothelial barrier break-down. Microarray analysis was performed to determine the effect of co-culture on the gene expression profiles of pericytes and endothelial cells. Additionally, cells were treated with and without estradiol in order to determine possible effects of the sex hormone on the two cell types in mono- and co-cultures.

RNA-seq of human cerebromicrovascular endothelial cell line hCMEC/D3 or primary human brain vascular pericytes stimulated with TNF, or S. pneumoniae, in monoculture or in coculture, or stimulated with conditioned media from monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) stimulated with S. pneumoniae, all compared to unstimulated controls

Project description:The interplay of cerebromicrovascular endothelial cells, pericytes and perivascular macrophages is central to the recruitment of neutrophils across the blood-brain barrier into the brain, and therefore to the CNS inflammatory response. This experiment examined the endothelial response to direct stimulation in the presence or absence of pericytes to explore the effect of co-culture on the endothelial inflammatory response. It also assessed the endothelial response to signalling by monocyte-derived macrophages, modelling perivascular macrophages, the only canonical innate immune cell found within the perivascular space.

Gene expression profile of endothelial cells maturated into brain-like endothelial cells

Project description:To understand the molecular mechanisms during the maturation of cord blood-derived endothelial cells into blood brain barrier capillary endothelial cells (BCECs), we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling to identify genes responsible for the maturation process. Hematopoietic stem cells were isolated from cord-blood samples and differentiated into endothelial cells. The endothelial cells were further maturated into BCECs by co-culturing with blood-brain barrier (BBB) specific cells (pericytes) for 3 days and 6 days. The gene expression in human hematopoietic stem cell-derived endothelial cells was measured at 3 and 6 days after co-culture with pericytes. Three independent experiments were performed at each time (3 or 6 days). The RNA obtained from different experiments were pooled together for each group before microarray studies.

Global gene expression profile of human placental pericytes

Project description:The objective of this array was to determine the global gene expression profile of human placental pericytes for comparison with other publicly available arrays of pericytes and mesenchymal stromal cells isolated from various human tissues. Pericytes are critical cellular components of the microvasculature that play a major role in vascular development and pathologies, yet their study has been hindered by lack of a standardized method for their isolation and growth. Here we report a method for culturing human pericytes from a readily available tissue source, placenta, and provide a thorough characterization of resultant cell populations. We developed an optimized protocol for obtaining pericytes by outgrowth from microvessel fragments recovered after enzymatic digestion of human placental tissue. We characterized outgrowth populations by immunostaining, by gene expression analysis, and by functional evaluation of cells implanted in vivo. Our approach yields human pericytes that may be serially expanded in culture and that uniformly express the cellular markers NG2, CD90, CD146, α-SMA, and PDGFR-β, but lack markers of smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, and leukocytes. When co-implanted with human endothelial cells into C.B-17 SCID/bg mice, human pericytes invest and stabilize developing human endothelial cell-lined microvessels. We conclude that our method for culturing pericytes from human placenta results in the expansion of functional pericytes that may be used to study a variety of questions related to vascular biology. Total RNA from three different pericyte isolations at subculture 1 was collected and examined for relative gene expression.

Reconstruction of the Human Blood-Brain Barrier in vitro reveals a Pathogenic Mechanism of APOE4 in Pericytes

Project description:The majority of Alzheimer’s disease patients and 20–40% of non-demented elderly experience amyloid deposits along their cerebral vasculature, a condition known as cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). CAA impairs the function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) leading to ischemia, hemorrhages, and accelerated cognitive dysfunction. The APOE4 allele is the strongest known genetic risk factor for CAA and sporadic AD, however the pathogenic mechanisms underlying this predisposition are unknown. Here, we recreate the human BBB in vitro by co-culturing the three cellular components of the BBB, endothelial cells, pericytes, and astrocytes in 3D scaffolding to construct a tractable model that recapitulates key anatomical and physiological properties of the BBB. Similar to the in vivo BBB, we find amyloid accumulates on our in vitro BBB (iBBB) and both APOE4 homozygous and heterozygous iBBBs exhibit significantly more amyloid accumulation than APOE3/3 iBBBs. Combinatorial experiments revealed that pericytes have a causal role in the development of CAA. We found that APOE expression is markedly up-regulated in APOE4 pericytes, but not in astrocytes or endothelial cells. Transcriptional profiling revealed that calcineurin/NFAT signaling is dysregulated in APOE4 pericytes. Pharmacologically inhibiting calcineurin led to downregulation of APOE and subsequently reduced amyloid deposition on the iBBB. These results demonstrate an unexpected role of pericytes in cerebral amyloid deposition and advocate for inhibiting calcineurin/NFAT-signaling as a therapeutic strategy to mitigate APOE4 predisposition to CAA and potentially AD.

Contribution of brain pericytes in blood-brain barrier formation and maintenance: A transcriptomic study of cocultured human endothelial cells derived from hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:The formation, maintenance, and repair of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) are critical for central nervous system homeostasis. The interaction of endothelial cells with brain pericytes is known to induce BBB characteristics in brain endothelial cells during embryogenesis and could be used to differentiate human endothelial cells from stem cell source in in vitro BBB models. However, the molecular events involved in BBB maturation are not fully understood. To this end, human endothelial cells derived from hematopoietic stem cells were cultivated with either primary bovine or cell line-derived human brain pericytes to induce BBB formation. Subsequently, the transcriptomic profiles of solocultured vs. cocultured endothelial cells were analyzed over time by the Massive Analysis of cDNA Ends (MACE) technology. This RNA sequencing method is a 3’-end targeted, tag-based, reduced representation transcriptome profiling technique that can reliably quantify all polyadenylated transcripts including those with low expression. By analyzing the generated transcriptomic profiles, we can explore the molecular processes responsible for the functional changes observed in endothelial cells in coculture with brain pericytes (e.g. barrier tightening, changes in the expression of transporters and receptors). Our results identified several up- and downregulated genes and signaling pathways that provide a valuable data source to further delineate complex molecular processes that are involved in BBB formation and BBB maintenance. In addition, this data provides a source to identify novel targets for central nervous system drug delivery strategies.
