Préparation de 60 mm pour boîte de culture isolement spécifique Side <ol><li> Ligne du verre de 60 mm des boîtes de Pétri avec du papier aluminium (2 plats en verre par leaflet). La feuille d&#39;aluminium permet d&#39;enlever la paraffine, de sorte que le plat en verre de Pétri peuvent être réutilisés pour d&#39;autres isolements. </li><li> Placez des perles de paraffine dans les plats, à moitié plein, et la couverture pour l&#39;autoclavage. </li><li> Une fois l&#39;autoclave est complète et la paraffine est fondue, déplacer l&#39;ensemble plat sur une surface plane fraîche. Comme la paraffine se refroidit, il durcit et créer une couche qui soutiendra piqûres d&#39;aiguille. </li><li> Après 30 minutes, le plat stérilisée peut alors être utilisé comme une chambre d&#39;isolement pour immobiliser le tissu notice. </li></ol> 5.

Epingler les bords de la notice pour exposer la couche endothéliale. </li><li> Verser quelques gouttes de la collagénase froid sur chaque surface (à la hausse face) endothéliales et incuber les tissus pendant 5-10 minutes à 37 ° C. </li><li> Comme avant, retirez délicatement la couche endothéliale par rotation d&#39;un écouvillon sec stérile sur la surface de la notice. Le sens de rotation et la quantité de cisaillement appliquée est essentielle pour la pureté de votre échantillon. La rotation de l&#39;écouvillon doit être dans une direction opposée au mouvement linéaire de votre main la création d&#39;un cisaillement contrôlé. Ce cisaillement est ce que soulève les cellules endothéliales du tissu et rien d&#39;autre. La quantité de force appliquée doit être suffisante pour sentir la résistance du tissu, mais ne pénètre pas dans le tissu. </li><li> Occasionnellement, tamponnez l&#39;écouvillon dans la solution de la collagénase pour déloger les cellules à partir des fibres pointe. Après écouvillonnage est complète, la texture de la couche endothéliale doit se sentir légèrement plus lisse qu&#39;avant. </li><li> Recueillir la suspension cellulaire / collagénase et le transfert dans un nouveau tube de 15 ml stérile. Indiquez une spécificité à côte sur l&#39;étiquette (tracts de la même valve peut être mis en commun). </li><li> Transfert des tracts à une boîte de culture nouvelle sorte que le côté ventricularis est maintenant exposée et répétez les étapes (05/03 au 05/06). </li><li> Une fois que tous suspension cellulaire / collagénase est recueillie, centrifuger les tubes à 1000 rpm pendant 5 minutes pour culotter les cellules isolées et aspirer le surnageant. Si isoler des cellules interstitielles ainsi, effectuer ce protocole alors que ces cellules sont centrifugées. </li><li> Ajouter 3 mL de milieu porcine endothéliales dans les tubes, centrifuger une deuxième fois, et aspirer les médias. Cette seconde centrifugation permet de filtrer certains des matériaux indésirables tels que les fibres pointe. </li><li> Re-suspendre les cellules endothéliales centrifugé dans 5 ml de milieu porcine endothéliales et les cellules plaque dans un pré-enduites T-25 fiole avec montage (utilisez une fiole jaugée par tube de centrifugation). </li><li> Laissez les cellules se développent au moins 2-3 jours avant de changer le support endothéliales. Cela permet de récupérer les cellules et se divisent, depuis le processus d&#39;isolement est assez sévère. Si vous remarquez le rendement est très faible, envisager de passer à un petit flacon ou d&#39;une plaque bien depuis adhérence cellule-cellule favorise la croissance cellulaire. N&#39;oubliez pas de passage près confluent depuis l&#39;inhibition de contact pourrait conduire à la transformation cellulaire. </li></ol> 6. Isolement des cellules interstitielles <ol><li> Remplissez un tube à centrifuger stérile de 15 ml avec 10 ml de solution de collagénase par soupape (3 feuillets). </li><li> Après écouvillonnage les tracts des cellules endothéliales, les placer dans le tube de 15 ml appropriée avec la solution de la collagénase. </li><li> Incuber pendant environ 12 à 18 heures (agiter délicatement si désiré). </li><li> Mélanger délicatement le tissu dégradé avec une pipette sérologique avant la suspension de cellules / collagénase devient homogène. Cette homogénéisation contribue à fragmenter le tissu et la libération des cellules interstitielles. </li><li> Centrifuger les tissus digérés pendant 5 minutes à 1000 rpm et aspirer le surnageant. </li><li> Ajouter 5 ml interstitielle moyenne porcine aux tubes de 15 ml, centrifuger une deuxième fois, et aspirer le liquide surnageant. </li><li> Re-suspendre les cellules endothéliales centrifugé dans 5 ml de milieu porcine interstitielle et la plaque de cellules dans un flacon T-75 (utiliser une fiole jaugée par tube de centrifugation). </li><li> Laissez les cellules se développent au moins 1-2 jours avant de changer le milieu cellulaire interstitiel. Il y aura des débris de tissu beaucoup plus que les cellules endothéliales, mais qui est attendu. Les cellules devraient également croître au confluent plus vite que les cellules endothéliales en raison de la cellule de rendement et de leur nature. </li></ol> 7.

isolation of valvular endothelial cells

Les valves cardiaques sont seul responsable du maintien du flux sanguin unidirectionnel à travers le système cardio-vasculaire. Ces minces, des tissus fibreux sont soumis à des contraintes mécaniques importantes car elles s&#39;ouvrent et se ferment plusieurs milliards de fois sur une durée de vie. L&#39;endurance incroyable de ces tissus est due à la valvulopathie résidents endothéliales (VEC) et les cellules interstitielles (CIV) qui ne cessent de réparation et de remodelage en réponse à des signaux locaux mécaniques et biologiques. Ce n&#39;est que récemment que nous avons commencé à comprendre les comportements uniques de ces cellules, dont l&#39;expérimentation in vitro a joué un rôle clé. Particulièrement difficile est l&#39;isolement et la culture du CVE. Une attention particulière doit être utilisé à partir du moment où le tissu est retiré de l&#39;hôte par plaquage finale. Nous présentons ici des protocoles pour l&#39;isolement direct, l&#39;isolement secondaires spécifiques, la culture, et la vérification des populations pures de CVE. Nous utilisons la digestion enzymatique suivie d&#39;une technique de raclage tige doux pour déloger les cellules de surface seulement. Ces cellules sont ensuite recueillies dans un tube et centrifugée dans une pastille. Le culot est ensuite remis en suspension et plaquées dans des flacons de culture pré-enduites de collagène I matrice. Phénotype VEC est confirmée par le contact a inhibé la croissance et l&#39;expression des marqueurs endothéliaux spécifiques tels que PECAM1 (CD31), facteur von Willebrand (VWF), et l&#39;expression négative de l&#39;actine musculaire lisse alpha (α-SMA). Les caractéristiques fonctionnelles de VEC sont associés à des niveaux élevés de LDL acétylées. Contrairement cellules endothéliales vasculaires, CVE ont la capacité unique de se transformer en mésenchyme, qui se produit normalement lors de la formation embryonnaire, la vanne 1. Cela peut également survenir lors de façon significative après confluentes prolongée de culture in vitro, ainsi le soin doit être fait pour le passage ou à proximité de confluence. Après isolement CVE, des populations pures de CIV peuvent ensuite être facilement acquis.

Isolation of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC)

Angiogenesis is a complex multi-step process, where in response to angiogenic stimuli, new vessels are created from the existing vasculature. These steps include: degradation of the basement membrane, proliferation and migration (sprouting) of endothelial cells (EC) into the extracellular matrix, alignment of EC into cords, lumen formation, anastomosis, and formation of a new basement membrane. Many in vitro assays have been developed to study this process, but most only mimic certain stages of angiogenesis, and morphologically the vessels often do not resemble vessels in vivo. Here we demonstrate an optimized in vitro angiogenesis assay that utilizes human umbilical vein EC and fibroblasts. This model recapitulates all of the key early stages of angiogenesis, and importantly the vessels display patent intercellular lumens surrounded by polarized EC.

Isolation and Large Scale Expansion of Adult Human Endothelial Colony Forming Progenitor Cells

This paper introduces a novel recovery strategy for endothelial colony forming progenitor cells (ECFCs) from heparinized but otherwise unmanipulated adult human peripheral blood within a mean of 12 days. After large scale expansion &gt;1x108 ECFCs can be obtained for further tests. Advantageously by using pHPL the contact of human cells with bovine serum antigens can be excluded. By flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry the isolated cells can be characterized as ECFC and their in vitro functionality to form vascular like structures can be tested in a matrigel assay. Further these cells can be subcutaneously injected in a mouse model to form functional, perfused vessels in vivo. After long term expansion and cryopreservation proliferation, function and genomic stability appear to be preserved. 3,4
This animal-protein free isolation and expansion method is easily applicable to generate a large quantity of ECFCs.

Isolation and Culture of Avian Embryonic Valvular Progenitor Cells

Proper formation and function of embryonic heart valves is critical for developmental progression. The early embryonic heart is a U-shaped tube of endocardium surrounded by myocardium. The myocardium secretes cardiac jelly, a hyaluronan-rich gelatinous matrix, into the atrioventricular (AV) junction and outflow tract (OFT) lumen. At stage HH14 valvulogenesis begins when a subset of endocardial cells receive signals from the myocardium, undergo endocardial to mesenchymal transformation (EMT), and invade the cardiac jelly. At stage HH25 the valvular cushions are fully mesenchymalized, and it is this mesenchyme that eventually forms the valvular and septal apparatus of the heart. Understanding the mechanisms that initiate and modulate the process of EMT and cell differentiation are important because of their connection to serious congenital heart defects. In this study we present methods to isolate pre-EMT endocardial and post-EMT mesenchymal cells, which are the two different cell phenotypes of the prevalvular cushion. Pre-EMT endocardial cells can be cultured with or without the myocardium. Post-EMT AV cushion mesenchymal cells can be cultured inside mechanically constrained or stress-free collagen gels. These 3D in vitro models mimic key valvular morphogenic events and are useful for deconstructing the mechanisms of early and late stage valvulogenesis.

This article will provide a method for isolating and culturing quail or chicken HH14- valve endocardial cells and HH25 valve cushion mesenchymal cells.

Isolation and Culture of Pulmonary Endothelial Cells from Neonatal Mice

Endothelial cells provide a useful research model in many areas of vascular biology. Since its first isolation 1, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) have shown to be convenient, easy to obtain and culture, and thus are the most widely studied endothelial cells. However, for research focused on processes like angiogenesis, permeability or many others, microvascular endothelial cells (ECs) are a much more physiologically relevant model to study 2. Furthermore, ECs isolated from knockout mice provide a useful tool for analysis of protein function ex vivo. Several approaches to isolate and culture microvascular ECs of different origin have been reported to date 3-7, but consistent isolation and culture of pure ECs is still a major technical problem in many laboratories. Here, we provide a step-by-step protocol on a reliable and relatively simple method of isolating and culturing mouse lung endothelial cells (MLECs). In this approach, lung tissue obtained from 6- to 8-day old pups is first cut into pieces, digested with collagenase/dispase (C/D) solution and dispersed mechanically into single-cell suspension. MLECS are purified from cell suspension using positive selection with anti-PECAM-1 antibody conjugated to Dynabeads using a Magnetic Particle Concentrator (MPC). Such purified cells are cultured on gelatin-coated tissue culture (TC) dishes until they become confluent. At that point, cells are further purified using Dynabeads coupled to anti-ICAM-2 antibody. MLECs obtained with this protocol exhibit a cobblestone phenotype, as visualized by phase-contrast light microscopy, and their endothelial phenotype has been confirmed using FACS analysis with anti-VE-cadherin 8 and anti-VEGFR2 9 antibodies and immunofluorescent staining of VE-cadherin. In our hands, this two-step isolation procedure consistently and reliably yields a pure population of MLECs, which can be further cultured. This method will enable researchers to take advantage of the growing number of knockout and transgenic mice to directly correlate in vivo studies with results of in vitro experiments performed on isolated MLECs and thus help to reveal molecular mechanisms of vascular phenotypes observed in vivo.

Here, we describe a protocol for isolation and culture of murine pulmonary endothelial cells. This method comprises mechanic and enzymatic lung tissue dissociation as well as a 2-step purification process using anti-PECAM-1 and anti-ICAM-2 antibodies conjugated to magnetic beads, which produces a pure endothelial cell population of mostly microvascular origin.

Isolation of Embryonic Ventricular Endothelial Cells

Cell culture has greatly enhanced our ability to assess individual populations of cells under myriad culture conditions. While immortalized cell lines offer significant advantages for their ease of use, these cell lines are unavailable for all potential cell types. By isolating primary cells from a specific region of interest, particularly from a transgenic mouse, more nuanced studies can be performed. The basic technique involves dissecting the organ or partial organ of interest (e.g. the heart or a specific region of the heart) and dissociating the organ to single cells. These cells are then incubated with magnetic beads conjugated to an antibody that recognizes the cell type of interest. The cells of interest can then be isolated with the use of a magnet, with a short trypsin incubation dissociating the cells from the beads. These isolated cells can then be cultured and analyzed as desired. This technique was originally designed for adult mouse organs but can be easily scaled down for use with embryonic organs, as demonstrated herein. Because our interest is in the developing coronary vasculature, we wanted to study this population of cells during specific embryonic stages. Thus, the original protocol had to be modified to be compatible with the small size of the embryonic ventricles and the low potential yield of endothelial cells at these developmental stages. Utilizing this scaled-down approach, we have assessed coronary plexus remodeling in transgenic embryonic ventricular endothelial cells.

Primary cell culture is a useful technique for analyzing specific populations of cells, particularly from transgenic mouse embryos at specific developmental stages. Herein, embryonic ventricles are dissected and dissociated, and antibody-conjugated beads recognize and separate out the endothelial cells for further analysis.

Isolation of Murine Valve Endothelial Cells

Normal valve structures consist of stratified layers of specialized extracellular matrix (ECM) interspersed with valve interstitial cells (VICs) and surrounded by a monolayer of valve endothelial cells (VECs). VECs play essential roles in establishing the valve structures during embryonic development, and are important for maintaining life-long valve integrity and function. In contrast to a continuous endothelium over the surface of healthy valve leaflets, VEC disruption is commonly observed in malfunctioning valves and is associated with pathological processes that promote valve disease and dysfunction. Despite the clinical relevance, focused studies determining the contribution of VECs to development and disease processes are limited. The isolation of VECs from animal models would allow for cell-specific experimentation. VECs have been isolated from large animal adult models but due to their small population size, fragileness, and lack of specific markers, no reports of VEC isolations in embryos or adult small animal models have been reported. Here we describe a novel method that allows for the direct isolation of VECs from mice at embryonic and adult stages. Utilizing the Tie2-GFP reporter model that labels all endothelial cells with Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP), we have been successful in isolating GFP-positive (and negative) cells from the semilunar and atrioventricular valve regions using fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). Isolated GFP-positive VECs are enriched for endothelial markers, including CD31 and von Willebrand Factor (vWF), and retain endothelial cell expression when cultured; while, GFP-negative cells exhibit molecular profiles and cell shapes consistent with VIC phenotypes. The ability to isolate embryonic and adult murine VECs allows for previously unattainable molecular and functional studies to be carried out on a specific valve cell population, which will greatly improve our understanding of valve development and disease mechanisms.

The ability to isolate heart valve endothelial cells (VECs) is critical for understanding mechanisms of valve development, maintenance, and disease. Here we describe the isolation of VECs from embryonic and adult Tie2-GFP mice using FACS that will allow for studies determining the contribution of VECs in developmental and disease processes.

Isolation and Primary Culture of Mouse Aortic Endothelial Cells

The vascular endothelium is essential to normal vascular homeostasis. Its dysfunction participates in various cardiovascular disorders. The mouse is an important model for cardiovascular disease research. This study demonstrates a simple method to isolate and culture endothelial cells from the mouse aorta without any special equipment. To isolate endothelial cells, the thoracic aorta is quickly removed from the mouse body, and the attached adipose tissue and connective tissue are removed from the aorta. The aorta is cut into 1 mm rings. Each aortic ring is opened and seeded onto a growth factor reduced matrix with the endothelium facing down. The segments are cultured in endothelial cell growth medium for about 4 days. The endothelial sprouting starts as early as day 2. The segments are then removed and the cells are cultured continually until they reach confluence. The endothelial cells are harvested using neutral proteinase and cultured in endothelial cell growth medium for another two passages before being used for experiments. Immunofluorescence staining indicated that after the second passage the majority of cells were double positive for Dil-ac-LDL uptake, Lectin binding, and CD31 staining, the typical characteristics of endothelial cells. It is suggested that cells at the second to third passages are suitable for in vitro and in vivo experiments to study the endothelial biology. Our protocol provides an effective means of identifying specific cellular and molecular mechanisms in endothelial cell physiopathology.

Isolation of Mouse Coronary Endothelial Cells

Endothelial cells line the inner wall of blood vessels and play an important role in the regulation of vascular tone, vascular permeability, and new vascular formation. Endothelial cell dysfunction is implicated in the development and progression of many cardiovascular diseases including ischemic heart disease. To examine the function and characterization of coronary endothelial cells, cell isolation is the first step and it requires high purity and quantity to conduct subsequent experiments. This protocol describes an efficient method to isolate adult mouse coronary endothelial cells. The mouse heart is dissected and minced into small pieces. After the digestion of the heart using dispase and collagenase II, cells are washed&#160;and incubated with magnetic beads which are conjugated with anti-CD31 antibody. The beads with endothelial cells are washed several times and are ready to use in various applications, including imaging and molecular biological experiments. Efficient isolation yields approximately 104 cells per one heart with over 90% purity.

This protocol is prepared to share our method of isolating mouse coronary endothelial cells for the purpose of imaging or to conduct molecular biological experiments.

Isolation and Culture of Primary Aortic Endothelial Cells from Miniature Pigs

Xenotransplantation is a promising way to resolve the shortage of human organs for patients with end-stage organ failure, and the pig is considered as a suitable organ source. Immune rejection and coagulation are two major hurdles for the success of xenotransplantation. Vascular endothelial cell (EC) injury and dysfunction are important for the development of the inflammation and coagulation responses in xenotransplantation. Thus, isolation of porcine aortic endothelial cells (pAECs) is necessary for investigating the immune rejection and coagulation responses. Here, we have developed a simple enzymatic approach for the isolation, characterization, and expansion of highly purified pAECs from miniature pigs. First, the miniature pig was anaesthetized with ketamine, and a length of aorta was excised. Second, the endothelial surface of aorta was exposed to 0.005% collagenase IV digestive solution for 15 min. Third, the endothelial surface of the aorta was scraped in only one direction with a cell scraper (&#60;10 times), and was not compressed during the process of scraping. Finally, the isolated pAECs of Day 3, and after passage 1 and passage 2, were identified by flow cytometry with an anti-CD31 antibody. The percentages of CD31-positive cells were 97.4% &#177; 1.2%, 94.4% &#177; 1.1%, and 92.4% &#177; 1.7% (mean &#177; SD), respectively. The concentration of Collagenase IV, the digestive time, the direction, and frequency and intensity of scraping are critical for decreasing fibroblast contamination and obtaining high-purity and a large number of ECs. In conclusion, our enzymatic method is a highly-effctive method for isolating ECs from the miniature pig aorta, and the cells can be expanded in vitro to investigate the immune and coagulation responses in xenotransplantation.

An effective enzymatic method for isolation of primary porcine aortic endothelial cells (pAECs) from miniature pigs is described. The isolated primary pAECs can be used to investigate the immune and coagulation response in xenotransplantation.

Isolation and Characterization of Mouse Primary Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells

Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are specialized endothelial cells located at the interface between the circulation and the liver parenchyma. LSECs have a distinct morphology characterized by the presence of fenestrae and the absence of basement membrane. LSECs play essential roles in many pathological disorders in the liver, including metabolic dysregulation, inflammation, fibrosis, angiogenesis, and carcinogenesis. However, little has been published about the isolation and characterization of the LSECs. Here, this protocol discusses the isolation of LSEC from both healthy and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) mice. The protocol is based on collagenase perfusion of the mouse liver and magnetic beads positive selection of nonparenchymal cells to purify LSECs. This study characterizes LSECs using specific markers by flow cytometry and identifies the characteristic phenotypic features by scanning electron microscopy. LSECs isolated following this protocol can be used for functional studies, including adhesion and permeability assays, as well as downstream studies for a particular pathway of interest. In addition, these LSECs can be pooled or used individually, allowing multi-omics data generation including RNA-seq bulk or single cell, proteomic or phospho-proteomics, and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq), among others. This protocol will be useful for investigators studying LSECs&#39; communication with other liver cells in health and disease and allow an in-depth understanding of the role of LSECs in the pathogenic mechanisms of acute and chronic liver injury.

Here we outline and demonstrate a protocol for primary mouse liver sinusoidal endothelial cell (LSEC) isolation. The protocol is based on liver collagenase perfusion, nonparenchymal cell purification by low-speed centrifugation, and CD146 magnetic bead selection. We also phenotype and characterize these isolated LSECs using flow cytometry and scanning electron microscopy.
