20140030236 | DERIVATION AND MATURATION OF SYNTHETIC AND CONTRACTILE VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS FROM HUMAN PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS - Embryonic vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) have a synthetic phenotype (Syn-vSMC), but in adults, they commit to the mature contractile phenotype (Con-vSMC). Con-vSMCs differ from Syn-vSMC derivatives in condensed morphology, prominent filamentous cytoskeleton proteins, elastin production and assembly elastin, low proliferation, numerous active caveolae, enlarged endoplasmic reticulum, ample stress fibers and bundles, as well as high contractility. The human pluripotent stem cell-derivatives can differentiate into a desired phenotype. Differentiation can be controlled by appropriate concentrations of relevant factors. Growth in high serum with platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and transforming growth factor-β1 induces the Syn-SMC phenotype with increased extracellular matrix protein expression and reduced expression of contractile proteins. Serum starvation and PDGF-BB deprivation causes maturation towards the Con-vSMC phenotype. When transplanted subcutaneously into nude mice, the human Con-vSMCs aligned next to the host's growing functional vasculature, with occasional circumferential wrapping and vascular tube narrowing. | 01-30-2014 |
