Summary

We report a reliable method to isolate and culture primary tumor-specific endothelial cells from genetically engineered mouse models.

Abstract

Frisk isolerede tumorspecifikke endotelceller (TEC) kan bruges til at udforske molekylære mekanismer af tumorangiogenese og tjene som en in vitro model for udvikling af nye angiogeneseinhibitorer for kræft. , Langsigtet in vitro-udvidelse af murine endothelceller (EF) er imidlertid en udfordring på grund af fænotypisk drift i kultur (endotel-til-mesenchymale overgang) og forurening med ikke-EF. Dette gælder især for TEC som let udkonkurreret af co-oprenset fibroblaster eller tumorceller i kultur. Her er en high fidelity isolation metode, der drager fordel af immunmagnetisk berigelse kombineret med koloniselektion og in vitro ekspansion beskrevet. Denne tilgang skaber rene EF fraktioner, der er helt fri for forurenende stromale eller tumorceller. Det er også vist, at slægt-spores Cdh5 CRE: ZsGreen l / s / l reporter mus, der anvendes sammen med protokollen beskrevet heri, er et værdifuldt redskab til at kontrollere cellerenhed som de isolerede EF kolonier fra disse mus viser holdbare og strålende ZsGreen fluorescens i kultur.

Introduction

Endotelceller (EF) er afgørende under udviklingen af ​​solide tumorer. Fra indledningen af angiogene kontakten i hvilende tumorer til formidling og såning af metastaser på fjerne steder, EF udgør ledningerne, der giver blod, ilt og næringsstoffer til at opretholde væksten tumor 1. Så sent antydet, EF har også perfusion-uafhængige funktioner og danner en niche, som understøtter væksten af kræft stamceller og andre stromale tumorceller 2-5. Således højt oprenset tumor-specifikke (TEC), EF for in vitro-dyrkning muliggør rutinemæssige funktionelle studier, som vil belyse nye molekylære mekanismer medierer tumor angiogenese og krydstale med tumorceller.

EF er højt specialiserede afhængigt af vævet oprindelseslandet 6. På grund af den heterogene karakter af de forskellige tumortyper og tumor mikromiljø kan TEC også vise unikke funktioner, der afspejler en tumor-specifik specialisering of vaskulaturen. For eksempel er der slående variabilitet i genekspression signaturer i TEC isoleret fra forskellige typer eller kvaliteter af tumorer 7,8. Hyppige co-oprensning af ikke-EF, især tumorassocierede fibroblaster og tumorceller, med TEC, kan dog forvirre hele genomet ekspression analyser. Disse uønskede celletyper er særligt problematisk i undersøgelser, der er afhængige af langsigtede in vitro-udvidelse af TEC kulturer.

Beskrevet her er der en high-fidelity metode, konsekvent producerer rene kulturer fra EF tumorer og andre væv. Efter immunomagnetisk kolonne berigelse af EF fraktioner og fjernelse af co-oprensede ikke-EF at en yderligere kloning-ring skridt indfange rene EF kolonier anvendes 9. Hver koloni kan udvides i kultur til flere passager uden fremkomsten af ​​kontaminerende ikke-EF. Denne metode giver også flere EF-kloner fra et enkelt isolation procedure, som er ideel til studiet af endothelial heterogenitet. Desuden er det vist, at Cdh5 CRE: ZsGreen l / s / l reporter mus er et værdifuldt redskab til at generere "skæbne-kortlagt" og uudsletteligt mærket EF, som opretholder ZsGreen fluorescens i kultur 10. Med mindre justeringer af protokollen, bør denne metode kunne tilpasses forskellige tumortyper eller normale væv.

Protocol

Følgende protokol udføres i henhold til retningslinjer fastlagt af Institut for Laboratory Animal Medicine ved University of North Carolina i Chapel Hill. 1. Forbered følgende materiale og reagenser Inden start Forbered EF medier ved at supplere 400 ml lav glucose (1 g / L D-glucose eller LG) Dulbeccos modificerede Eagles-medium (DMEM) med 50 ml varmeinaktiveret føtalt bovint serum, 50 ml Nu-Serum IV, 5 ml antibiotisk-antimykotisk, og hFGF, VEGF, hEGF, R3-IGF-1 og heparin best…

Representative Results

EF udgør kun mindre en brøkdel af den totale cellepopulation i de fleste voksne væv 11. Det er derfor vigtigt at fuldt fordøje det høstede væv i en enkelt-cellesuspension, der sikrer den maksimale frigivelse af EF ekstracellulær matrix (ECM) og bindevæv. Det er vores erfaring, kun CD31-medieret immunomagnetisk udvælgelse giver berigede, men ikke rene EF fraktioner; derfor et andet afgørende skridt er fysisk fjernelse af co-oprensede ikke-EF og udvælgelse / udbygning af EF kolonier ved hjælp klonin…

Discussion

På grund af de problemer med at opnå rene primære TEC kulturer, mange in vitro-undersøgelser erstatning TEC med kommercielt tilgængelige EF linjer eller primær EF såsom menneskelig navlestrengen vene EF (HUVEC) 13. Dog kan disse EF befolkninger mod normalt væv kun tjene som en proxy for TEC, der markant adskiller sig fra deres normale modstykker. For eksempel TEC er fænotypisk og funktionelt unormale in vivo og nogle af disse abnormaliteter kan være smitsomme in vitro <sup…
