Article Snippet: To test endothelial cell function, human neonatal microvascular endothelial cells (Lonza, Walkersville, MD) or human iPSC-VECs (iCell Endothelial Cells) (Cellular Dynamics, Fujifilm, Madison, WI) in culture (2D) and assembled vasculature of liver scaffolds were incubated in EBM PLUS Basal Medium supplemented with EGM-2 SingleQuots Kit (Lonza, Walkersville, MD) for human neonatal microvascular endothelial cells and VascuLife VEGF Medium (Cell Technologies, Fremont, CA) supplemented with iCell Endothelial Cells Medium Supplement (Cellular Dynamics, Fujifilm, Madison, WI) for human iPS-derived endothelial cells containing either 1pM of 1a,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO) or 1 μM retinoic acid (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO) or 1mM Sp-8-BrcAMPs (BIOLOG, Life Science Institute, Bremen, Germany), 1 μM or 100nM Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO) and a combination of 100nM PMA/10 mM Forskolin (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO) for 24 h. Human tissue plasminogen activator was measured using an ELISA, according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Abcam, Cambridge, MA).
