Project description:Biomechanical forces such as wall shear stress induced by flowing blood influence the behavior of vascular cells and have been shown to be crucial in the onset of vascular disease. Primary cilia are increasingly recognized as important biological sensors of low WSS. The goal of the study was to investigate gene expression profile of endothelial cell under low flow (2 dynes/cm2) as compared to physiological flow (30 dynes/cm2) in presence or absence of primary cilia.

Project description:The luminal surface of the endothelium is exposed to dynamic blood flow patterns that are known to affect endothelial cell phenotype. In this study, human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were exposed to unidirectional laminar flow (20 dynes/cm2) or disturbed flow (±4 dynes/cm2, 2 Hz) for 48 hrs and then subjected to RNA sequencing. The sequencing data was used to analyze changes in endothelial cell gene expression and pathways associated with lipid metabolism.

Project description:Primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs, n=4) were exposed to low-magnitude pre-conditioning FSS (1.5 dynes/cm2) 18h using the Ibidi pump system followed by exposure to the arterial- (15 dynes/cm2) or venous-magnitude (1.5 dynes/cm2) FSS for 24h. Conditioned media was collected to analyse the effect of acute changes in the haemodynamic environment on the EC secretome.

Project description:Intracranial aneurysms tend to form at bifurcation apices, where flow impingement causes high frictional force (or wall shear stress, WSS) and flow acceleration and deceleration that create positive and negative streamwise gradients in WSS (WSSG), respectively. In vivo, intracranial aneurysms initiate under high WSS and positive WSSG. Little is known about the responses of endothelial cells (ECs) to either positive or negative WSSG under high WSS conditions. We used cDNA microarrays to profile EC gene expression exposed to positive WSSG vs. negative WSSG for 24 hours in a flow chamber with converging and diverging channels, respectively. WSS varied between 3.5 and 28.4 Pa in each gradient channel. GO and biological pathway analysis indicated that positive WSSG favored proliferation, apoptosis, and extracellular matrix processing while decreasing expression of pro-inflammatory genes. A subset of characteristic genes was validated using qPCR: Genes for ADAMTS1, CKAP2 and NCEH1 had higher expression under positive WSSG compared to negative WSSG while TAGLN, THBS1, VCAM1, CCL2, and CSF2 had lower expression. To determine if these patterns of expression are also exhibited in vivo, we tested whether the extracellular matrix related protein ADAMTS1 and proliferation were modulated by positive WSSG during intracranial aneurysm initiation. An aneurysm was induced at the basiliar terminus in rabbits by bilateral carotid ligation. WSSG at the bifurcation was determined by computational fluid dynamic simulations from 3D angiography and mapped on immunofluorescence staining for ADAMTS1 and the proliferation marker, Ki-67. Endothelial ADAMTS1 protein and Ki-67 were significantly higher in regions with positive WSSG compared to adjacent sites where WSSG was negative. Our results indicate that WSSG can elicit distinct gene expression profiles in ECs. Increased matrix processing and high levels of proliferation under positive WSSG could contribute to intracranial aneurysm initiation by causing transient gaps in the endothelium or disrupting EC signals to smooth muscle cells. Time-matched bovine aortic endothelial cells were exposed to positive wall shear stress gradient, negative wall shear stress gradient, and two no gradient samples: uniform WSS of 3.5 Pa and high WSS of 28.4 Pa for 24 hrs in an in vitro flow loop system. RNA was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays. There were 12 samples in total, four flow conditions with three replicates each.

Project description:To investigate the function of oscillating shear stress in the regulation of endothelial progenitor cell (EPCs) differentiation, we used EPCs derived from the umbilical cord blood loaded with OSS for 12h. OSS (±3.5 dynes/cm2, 1 Hz frequency) was loaded using a Flexcell flow STR-4000 parallel plate flow chamber system.

Project description:Many studies have characterised the effect of normal laminar shear stress (LSS) on endothelial responses, however elevated shear stress, as would be experienced overlying a stenotic plaque, has not been studied in depth. Therefore we used transcriptomics and related functional analyses to compare cells exposed to laminar shear stress at 15 or 75 dynes/cm2 for 24 hours (LSS15-normal or LSS75-high shear stress). Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC n=4 per flow condition from different batches of pooled donor HUVEC p2) were cultured for 24 hours on gelatin coated slides under laminar shear stress of either 15 dynes/cm2 or 75 dynes/cm2 (LSS15 or LSS75) to assess the effect of high shear stress on endothelial cells. Total RNA was obtained using Qiagen kit and array analysis performed by Service XS (Leiden, Netherlands).

Project description:Aortic aneurysms are dilations of the aorta that can rupture when left untreated. We used aneurysmal Fibulin-4R/R to further unravel the underlying mechanisms of aneurysm formation. RNA sequencing of 3-month-old Fibulin-4R/R aortas revealed significant upregulation of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors and key senescence factors, indicating involvement of senescence. Analysis of aorta histology and of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in vitro confirmed the senescent phenotype of Fibulin-4R/R VSMCs by revealing increased SA-β-gal, p21 and p16 staining, increased IL-6 secretion, increased presence of DNA damage foci and increased nuclei size. Additionally, we found that p21 luminescence was increased in the dilated aorta of Fibulin-4R/R|p21-Luciferase mice. Our studies identify a cellular aging cascade in Fibulin-4 aneurysmal disease, by revealing that Fibulin-4R/R aortic VSMCs have a pronounced SASP and a senescent phenotype that may underlie aortic wall degeneration. Additionally, we demonstrated the therapeutic effect of JAK/STAT and TGF-β pathway inhibition as well as senolytic treatment on Fibulin-4R/R VSMCs in vitro. These findings can contribute to improved therapeutic options for aneurysmal disease aimed at reducing senescent cells.

Project description:In order to simulate the effects of shear stress in regions of the vasculature prone to developing atherosclerosis, we subjected human umbilical vein endothelial cells to reversing shear stress, in order to mimic hemodynamic conditions at the wall of the carotid sinus, a site of complex, reversing blood flow and commonly observed atherosclerosis. We compared the effects of reversing shear stress (time-average 1 dyne/cm2, maximum +11 dynes/cm2, minimum -11 dynes/cm2, 1 Hz), arterial steady shear stress (15 dynes/cm2), and low steady shear stress (1 dyne/cm2) in terms of gene expression, cell proliferation, and monocyte adhesiveness. Microarray analysis revealed most differentially expressed genes were similarly regulated by all three shear stress regimens when compared to static culture. Comparisons of the three shear stress regimens to each other allowed identification of 138 genes regulated by low average shear stress and 22 by fluid reversal. Functional assays indicated that low average shear stress induces increased cell proliferation as compared to high shear stress. Reversing shear stress was the only condition that induced monocyte adhesion. Monocyte adhesion was partially inhibited by incubation of the endothelial cells with ICAM-1 blocking antibody. Increased surface heparin sulfate proteoglycan expression was observed in cells exposed to reversing shear stress. When these cells were treated with heparinase III monocyte adhesion was significantly reduced. Our results suggest that low steady shear stress is the major impetus for differential gene expression and cell proliferation, while reversing flow regulates monocyte adhesion.
