Project description:Four protocols were adapted and compared to enrich extracellular matrix proteins from mouse skin: 1. compartmental enrichment; 2. chemical decellularization; 3. enzymatic decellularization using phospholipase A2; 4. quantitative detergent solubility profiling (QDSP). All four protocols were started the same day, each using 35 mg of frozen back skin taken from the same initial back skin piece. The experiment was repeated three times starting from three different mice. Compartmental enrichment: skin samples were processed using the CNMCS commercial kit. Briefly, the skin tissue was homogenized in buffer C and successively incubated under agitation in buffers W, N, M and CS supplemented with the protease inhibitors from the kit. Extraction buffer C and insoluble pellet were kept aside, flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately. Chemical decellularization: skin samples were cut into small pieces and successively incubated in buffers containing NaCl, SDS/sodium deoxycholate, Triton X-100 and GuHCl. Extractions buffers as well as the final insoluble pellet were kept aside, flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately. Enzymatic decellularization: skin samples were cut into small pieces and successively incubated in buffers containing NaCl, phosopholipase A2/sodium deoxycholate. Extraction buffers as well as the insoluble pellet were kept aside, flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately. QDSP: skin samples were homogenized in sterile PBS and successively incubated in 3 buffers containing increasing concentrations in detergents (including SDS, sodium deoxycholate, NP-40) as previously described. Extraction buffers as well as the insoluble pellet were kept aside, flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately. For comparison with the four protocols described above, total skin lysates were also prepared for two of the mice. In this case, 20 mg of mouse skin were homogenized and incubated in a lysis buffer containing SDS, β-mercaptoethanol. Samples were centrifuged and the supernatant was kept aside, flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately.

Project description:Extracellular matrix (ECM) is an important component of the pancreatic microenvironment which regulates β cell proliferation, differentiation and insulin secretion. Protocols have recently been developed for the decellularization of the human pancreas to generate functional scaffolds and hydrogels. In this work, we characterized human pancreatic ECM composition before and after decellularization using isobaric dimethylated leucine (DiLeu) labeling for relative quantification of ECM proteins. A novel correction factor was employed in the study to eliminate the bias introduced during sample preparation. In comparison to the commonly employed proteomic approaches (urea and FASP), a recently developed surfactant and chaotropic agent assisted sequential extraction/on pellet digestion (SCAD) protocol was proven to be a superior strategy for ECM protein extraction of human pancreatic ECM matrix. The quantitative proteomic results revealed the preservation of matrisome proteins while most of the cellular proteins were removed. This method was compared with a well-established label-free quantification (LFQ) approach which rendered similar expressions of different categories of proteins (collagens, ECM glycoproteins, proteoglycans, etc.). The distinct expression of ECM proteins was quantified comparing adult and fetal pancreas ECM, shedding light on the correlation between matrix composition and post-natal β cell maturation. Despite the distinct profiles of different subcategories in the native pancreas, the distribution of matrisome protein exhibited similar trends after the decellularization process. Our method generates the largest dataset of matrisome proteins from a single tissue type. These results provide valuable insight into the possibilities of constructing a bioengineered pancreas. It also facilitates an understanding of the significant roles that matrisome proteins play in post-natal cell maturation.

Project description:The extracellular matrix (ECM) components present within all tissues and organs help to maintain the cytoskeletal architecture and tissue morphology. Although the ECM plays a role in cellular events and signaling pathways, it has not been well studied due its insolubility and complexity. Brain tissue has a higher cell density and weaker mechanical strength than other tissues in the human body. When removing cells using a general decellularization method to produce scaffolds and obtain ECM proteins, various problems must be considered because tissues are easily damaged. To retain the brain shape and ECM components, we performed decellularization in combination with polymerization. We immersed mouse brains in oil for polymerization and decellularization via O-CASPER (Oil-Based Clinically and Experimentally Applicable Acellular Tissue Scaffold Production for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine) and then isolated ECM components using sequential matrisome preparation reagents (SMPRs), namely, RIPA, PNGase F, and concanavalin A. Adult mouse brains were preserved with our decellularization method. Western blot and LC-MS/MS analyses revealed that ECM components, including collagen and laminin, were isolated more efficiently from decellularized adult mouse brains than from embryonic and neonatal mouse brains using SMPRs. Our method will be useful to obtain matrisomal data and perform functional studies using adult mouse brains and other tissues.

Project description:Rationale: Cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM) comprises a dynamic molecular network providing structural support to heart tissue function. Understanding the impact of ECM remodeling on cardiac cells during heart failure (HF) is essential to prevent adverse ventricular remodeling and restore organ functionality in affected patients. Objectives: We aimed to (i) identify consistent modifications to cardiac ECM structure and mechanics that contribute to HF and (ii) determine the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods and Results: We first performed decellularization of human and murine ECM (dECM) and then analyzed the pathological changes occurring in dECM during HF by atomic force (AFM), two-photon microscopy, high-resolution 3D image analysis and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. We then performed molecular and functional assays in patient-derived cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) based on YAP-TEAD mechanosensing activity and collagen contraction assays. The analysis of HF dECM resulting from ischemic (IHD) or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), as well as from mouse infarcted tissue, identified a common pattern of modifications in their 3D topography. As compared to healthy heart, HF ECM exhibited aligned, flat and compact fiber bundles, with reduced elasticity and organizational complexity. At the molecular level, RNA sequencing of HF CFs highlighted the overrepresentation of dysregulated genes involved in ECM organization, or being connected to TGFß1, Interleukin-1, TNF-alpha and BDNF signaling pathways. Functional tests performed on HF CFs pointed at mechanosensor YAP as a key player in ECM remodeling in the diseased heart via transcriptional activation of focal adhesion assembly. Finally, in vitro experiments clarified pathological cardiac ECM prevents cell homing, thus providing further hints to identify a possible window of action for cell therapy in cardiac diseases. Conclusions: Our multi-parametric approach has highlighted repercussions of ECM remodeling on cell homing, CF activation and focal adhesion protein expression via hyper-activated YAP signaling during HF. Key words: Decellularization, extracellular matrix, dilated cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease, YAP, dilated cardiomyopathy, mechanobiology.

Project description:Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a hepatobiliary malignancy with dismal prognosis. Currently available models fail to recapitulate the full complexity of CCA, particularly the desmoplastic environment and the interplay between cancer cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). We aimed to study the role of epithelial tumor cells in ECM deposition and desmoplasia by designing a model encompassing primary epithelial CCA organoids (CCAOs) and native liver and tumor scaffolds obtained by decellularization Background & Aims: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a hepatobiliary malignancy with dismal prognosis. Currently available models fail to recapitulate the full complexity of CCA, particularly the desmoplastic environment and the interplay between cancer cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). We aimed to study the role of epithelial tumor cells in ECM deposition and desmoplasia by designing a model encompassing primary epithelial CCA organoids (CCAOs) and native liver and tumor scaffolds obtained by decellularization. Results: Decellularization resulted in effective removal of cells while preserving ECM structure and retaining important characteristics of the tissue origin. When culturing CCAOs in CCA-M, compared to TFL-M and BME, the genome-wide gene expression profile much more resembled the transcriptome of primary CCA tumor tissue in vivo, with an accompanying increase in chemoresistance. CCAOs in decellularized matrix, both CCA-M and TFL-M, exhibited the formation of complex morphological structures, and revealed environment-dependent proliferation and migration dynamics, driven by the occurrence of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). CCA-M induced specific extracellular matrix protein production in CCAOs, such as fibronectin 1 (FN1), which is related to desmoplasia and patient survival. In TFL-M, lacking the desmoplastic environment, CCAOs were able to initiate a desmoplastic reaction directly through increased production of multiple collagen types. Conclusions: This improved model of cholangiocarcinoma, combining organoids and native extracellular matrix, recapitulates key components of CCA tumor biology, including transcriptome profiles, migration patterns, EMT, and ECM protein production. The increased production of extracellular matrix proteins suggests that epithelial tumor cells can contribute to their own desmoplastic environment.

Project description:Off-the shelf small diameter vascular grafts are an attractive alternative to eliminate the need and shortcomings of autologous tissue for vascular grafting. Bovine saphenous vein (SV) extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds from are potentially ideal small diameter vascular grafts, due to their inherit architecture and signaling molecules capable of driving proper cell behavior and regeneration. However, harnessing this potential is predicated on the ability of the scaffold generation technique to maintain the delicate structure, composition and associated function of native vascular ECM. Previous decellularization methods have been uniformly demonstrated to distupt the delicate basement membrane (BM) components of native vascular ECM. Here we demonstrate bovine SV ECM scaffolds generated using the novel antigen removal (AR) approach results in retention of native BM protein composition (e.g., Collagen IV and laminin), structure and cell modulatory function. Presence of BM proteins in AR vascular ECM scaffolds increases endothelial cell migration and proliferation, appropriate formation of adherence junction and apicobasal polarization, increased secretion of nitric oxide, and modulates endothelial cell quiescence. We conclude that presence of intact native vascular BM in AR SV ECM scaffolds modulate human endothelial cell behaviors which are essential for vessel homeostasis.

Project description:Objectives: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue is the standard material for di-agnostic pathology but poses relevant hurdles to accurate protein extraction due to cross-linking and chemical alterations. While numerous extraction pro-tocols and chemicals have been described, systematic comparative analyses are limited. Various parameters were thus investigated in their qualitative and quantitative effects on protein extraction (PE) efficacy. Special emphasis was put on preservation of membrane proteins (MP) as key subgroup of func-tionally relevant proteins. Methods: Using the example of urothelial carcinoma, FFPE tissue sections were subjected to various deparaffinization, protein extraction and antigen retrieval protocols and buffers as well as different extraction techniques. Performance was meas-ured by protein concentration and western blot analysis of cellular compart-ment markers as well as liquid chromatography-coupled mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Results: Commercially available extraction buffers showed reduced extraction of MPs and came at considerably increased costs. On-slide extraction did not improve PE whereas several other preanalytical steps could be simplified. Systematic variation of temperature and exposure duration demonstrated a quantitatively relevant corridor of optimal antigen retrieval. Conclusions: Preanalytical protein extraction can be optimized at various levels to improve unbiased protein extraction and to reduce time and costs.

Project description:The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a master regulator of cellular phenotype and behavior. It plays a critical role in both normal tissue homeostasis and disease pathology. We have developed a fast and efficient approach to enhance the study of ECM composition and structure. Termed In Situ Decellularization of Tissues (ISDoT), it allows whole organs to be decellularized leaving native ECM architecture intact. We demonstrate how our approach enriches for ECM components allowing deep quantitative proteomic interrogation of the ECM. Using the ISDoT procedure, native ECM under normal and pathological conditions can be catalogued in unprecedented detail.
