Transfer of two-dimensional patterns of human umbilical vein endothelial cells into fibrin gels to facilitate vessel formation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two-dimensional cell patterns prepared on substrate surfaces by an electrochemical-based biolithography method have been transferred into fibrin gels prepared in situ. Line patterns of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in the gel that was strained after the transfer formed a linear vessel-like structure within 8 days.

Background & Objective: Angiogenesis plays a key role in different physiologic and pathologic processes. Evaluation of endothelial cells and finally new vessels development in-vivo is a complex and formidable task. Thus, we designed an in-vitro experimental angiogenesis model using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) which is highly reproducible and controllable. This model has appli...
متن کاملAngiogenesis Following Three-Dimensional Culture of Isolated Human Endometrial Stromal Cells
Background Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity and is the most common gynecologic disorder in women of reproductive age. We have preliminary evidence that in the presence of a 3-dimensional (3-D) fibrin matrix, human endometrial glands, stroma, and neovascularization can develop in vitro, mimicking the earliest stages of endometriosis. The aim of th...
متن کاملIn vitro formation and characterization of a perfusable three-dimensional tubular capillary network in microfluidic devices.
This paper describes the in vitro formation and characterization of perfusable capillary networks made of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in microfluidic devices (MFDs). Using this platform, an array of three-dimensional (3D) tubular capillaries of various dimensions (50-150 μm in diameter and 100-1600 μm in length) can be formed reproducibly. To generate connected blood vessels...
متن کاملRegulation of in vitro capillary tube formation by anti-integrin antibodies
Human endothelial cells are induced to form an anastomosing network of capillary tubes on a gel of collagen I in the presence of PMA. We show here that the addition of mAbs, AK7, or RMAC11 directed to the alpha chain of the major collagen receptor on endothelial cells, the integrin alpha 2 beta 1, enhance the number, length, and width of capillary tubes formed by endothelial cells derived from ...
متن کاملAnti-angiogenic Effects of Metformin, an AMPK Activator, on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells and on Granulation Tissue in Rat
Objective(s)Metformin is well known for activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK activation inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) as a key signaling process in cell proliferation. Recent epidemiological studies demonstrate that metformin lowers the risk for several types of cancer in diabetic patients. Concerning the critical role of angiogenesis in the incidence and prog...
