Sox17 drives functional engraftment of endothelium converted from non-vascular cells
Transplanting vascular endothelial cells (ECs) to support metabolism and express regenerative paracrine factors is a strategy to treat vasculopathies and to promote tissue regeneration. However, transplantation strategies have been challenging to develop, because ECs are difficult to culture and little is known about how to direct them to stably integrate into vasculature. Here we show that onl...
متن کاملFunctional Vascular Endothelium Derived from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
Vascular endothelium is a dynamic cellular interface that displays a unique phenotypic plasticity. This plasticity is critical for vascular function and when dysregulated is pathogenic in several diseases. Human genotype-phenotype studies of endothelium are limited by the unavailability of patient-specific endothelial cells. To establish a cellular platform for studying endothelial biology, we ...
متن کاملDeficiency of endothelium-specific transcription factor Sox17 induces intracranial aneurysm.
BACKGROUND Intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a common vascular disorder that frequently leads to fatal vascular rupture. Although various acquired risk factors associated with IA have been identified, the hereditary basis of IA remains poorly understood. As a result, genetically modified animals accurately modeling IA and related pathogenesis have been lacking, and subsequent drug development has b...
متن کاملFunctional integration of dopaminergic neurons directly converted from mouse fibroblasts.
Recent advances in somatic cell reprogramming have highlighted the plasticity of the somatic epigenome, particularly through demonstrations of direct lineage reprogramming of one somatic cell type to another by defined factors. However, it is not clear to what extent this type of reprogramming is able to generate fully functional differentiated cells. In addition, the activity of the reprogramm...
متن کاملFunctional status of vascular endothelium in diabetes mellitus.
Normal endothelial cells synthesize and release biologically active substances. These substances maintain homeostasis through adequate blood flow, delivery of nutrients, activation and inhibition of coagulation proteins, prevention of thrombosis and diapedesis of leukocyte. Endothelial dysfunction implies failure of vascular endothelium to perform its normal functions of vasodilatation and vaso...
