Project description:In order to identify new markers of vascular cell senescence with potential in vivo implications, primary cultured Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs), were analysed for microRNA (miR) expression. QRT-PCR microRNA expression profiling in 3 senescent (XIII passage) vs. 3 young HUVECs (II passage).
Project description:Intra- and extracellular metabolomics dataset of human dermal blood endothelial cells (HDBECs), human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLECs) and intestinal lymphatic endothelial cells (iLECs) in proliferation and quiescence.
Project description:Human endothelial cellular models are useful to disentangle the pathophysiological role of dysfunctional endothelium in the development of cardiovascular (CV) disease and organ damage in T2D. Here, we performed a RNAseq of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) undergoing replicative senescence and exposed to high glucose (25 mM) to investigate the combined effects of replicative senescence and high glucose on the transcriptional landscape of these cells. To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms driving the acquisition of a senescent phenotype following exposure to HG, we performed a RNA-seq assay on control (Ctr) and replicative senescent (Sen) HUVECs cultivated in presence/absence of HG culture medium (total number of samples = 12; number of samples in each cell type-medium condition group = 3) using the NovaSeq 6000 Illumina system. Differential expression analysis was performed in R environment (version 4.2.2) using the limma and edgeR Bioconductor R packages.
Project description:From two donors of human umbilical vein endothelial cells, in vitro cell lines were established. Both cell lines were grown in vitro until irreversible growth arrest was observed (replicative senescence). Total RNA from young (replicating) cells as well as senescent cells was harvested and used for hybridization of microRNA chips (MRC) from TU Graz based on Sanger miRBase 9.2
Project description:Laminar shear stress due to constant blood flow is known to play a critical role in maintaining vascular health. In contrast, endothelial cell senescence appears to be closely associated with the incidence of vascular disorder. In an attempt to identify functional biomarkers for age-related vascular health/disease, the present study investigated differential gene expression of young and senescent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) under static and laminar shear stress. We used a cDNA microarray method to compare gene expression profiles of young and senescent HUVECs under static and laminar shear stress conditions. Experiment Overall Design: Senescent cells were prepared by continuous subculture in vitro, and a cone-and-plate device was used to impose laminar shear stress onto cells. Young and senescent cells were exposed to laminar shear stress or maintained under static conditions. Total mRNA was extracted and gene expression profiles were analyzed by cDNA microarray.

Project description:Endothelial cell secretomes were analyzed using culture medium derived from control young and premature senescent human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC).
Project description:Cellular senescence is a dynamic tumor suppression mechanism that limits the proliferation of impaired cells, by executing a stable cell cycle arrest. Understanding the molecular pathways and regulatory circuits that are involved in the process of senescence is presently incomplete. In this study, we determined the changes in gene expression during the establishment of replicative senescence, by comparing the expression profiles of young and senescent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Exploration of array data using ingenuity pathway analysis showed that genes involved in cell cycle regulation, cellular assembly and organization, DNA replication, recombination and repair were significantly down regulated during senescence.
