View SamplesWOX5 maintains columella stem cells in the Arabidopsis root and prevents their differentiation. In order to understand the molecular mode of WOX5 action the genes differentially expressed by WOX5 inducible over-expression were determined by analysis of microarray hybridizations. Seedlings transformed with a dexamethasone inducible WOX5 construct were induced for one or four hours with dexamethasone or a mock solution. Other seedlings were treated one hour with cycloheximide ( a protein synthesis inhibitor to reduce secondary transcriptional effects after WOX5 activation) and either dexamethasone or a mock solution. Root tips were harvested, RNA extracted, and the RNA samples prepared for hybridization to Affymetrix microarrays. Potential target genes of WOX5 were further analyzed by transcriptional markers, qPCR and EMSA (electrophoretic mobility shift assay).

View SamplesDiabetes is prevalent worldwide and associated with severe health complications, including blood vessel damage that leads to cardiovascular disease and death. Here we report the development of a 3D blood vessel organoid culture system from human pluripotent stem cells. These human blood vessel organoids contain endothelial cells and pericytes that self-assemble into interconnected capillary networks enveloped by a basement membrane. Human blood vessel organoids transplanted into mice form a stable, perfused human vascular tree, including human arteries, arterioles and venules. Exposure of blood vessel organoids to hyperglycemia and inflammatory cytokines in vitro induced thickening of the basal membrane, a hallmark of human diabetic microangiopathy. Human blood vessel, exposed in vivo to a diabetic milieu in mice, also mimick the microvascular changes in diabetic patients. We finally performed a drug screen and uncovered ?-secretase and DLL4-Notch3 as key drivers of “diabetic” vasculopathy in human blood vessels in vitro and in vivo. Thus, organoids derived from human stem cells faithfully recapitulate the structure and function of human blood vessels and are amenable to model and identify drug targets for diabetic vasculopathy, which affects hundreds of millions of patients. Overall design: Vascular organoids were differentiated from iPSC cells and cultured in control, diabetic or diabetic media supplemented with the gamma-secretase inhibitor DAPT. Endothelial cells (CD31 positive) and pericytes (PDGFRbeta positive) were isolated by FACS and subjected to RNA Seq. Accordingly, CD31 positive endothelial cells and PDGFRbeta positive pericytes differentiated from iPS cells in 2D as a well as primary endothelial (HUVECS) and pericytes (Placenta) were FACS sorted and subjected to RNA Seq.

View SamplesDiabetes is prevalent worldwide and associated with severe health complications, including blood vessel damage that leads to cardiovascular disease and death. We report the development of 3D blood vessel organoids from human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells. These human blood vessel organoids contain endothelium, perivascular pericytes, and basal membranes, and self-assemble into lumenized interconnected capillary networks. We treat these vascular organoids with hyperglycemia and inflammatory cytokines in vitro, which leads to basement membrane thickening, a structural hallmark of diabetic patient. To compare differential gene expression we performed RNAseq on endothelial cells, derived from control (NG) or diabetic (DI) vascular organoids. Overall design: Vascular organoids were differentiated from human iPS cells and treated for 3 weeks with a diabetic media containing 75mM Glucose, 1ng/mL TNF-a, 1ng/mL IL6 (DI) or left untreated in 17mM Glucose (NG). Endothelial cells were FACS sorted for CD31 directly into Trizol and stored at -80°C before RNA preparation. The 2 NG and 2 DI are pools of sorted endothelial cells from multiple vascular organoids (>100) from 2 independent differentiations/treatments.

To assess HFD-mediated alterations in physiological parameters, insulin sensitivity, and molecular adaptations in liver male C3HeB/FeJ mice treated with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 7, 14, or 21 days and compared to age- matched controls fed low-fat diet (LFD).
