Figure Legend Snippet: Changes in miR-155, miR-100, and miR-let-7i expression affect in vitro endothelial morphogenesis . 24 hours after transfection with specific synthetic inhibitors (A) or mimics (B), ECs were subjected to in vitro EC morphogenesis assay. DIC images of unlabeled cells were acquired using a Nikon TE2000 microscope and SlideBook software (DIC micrographs). GAPDH-labeled low-magnification images of the tubular structures (red, inserts) were acquired using a Zeiss LSM confocal microscope. Bars 20 μm. Graphs: Data are expressed as the average tube length, or number of branch points per visual area ± S.E.M., n = 10 wells per inhibitor/10 images per well. Student's t-test: * P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001.
Techniques Used: Expressing, In Vitro, Transfection, Microscopy, Software, Labeling
Figure Legend Snippet: Hypothesis on the possible mechanisms of the pro-angiogenic effect produced by NSPCs . A: general mechanism of the NSPC-supported EC morphogenesis. NSPC-released pro-angiogenic factors induce changes in miRNA and gene expression in ECs, leading to activation of cell signaling pathways regulating EC morphogenesis and blood vessel formation. Panel B: a possible link between NSPC signaling and alterations in EC miRNA expression, leading to endothelial morphogenesis. NSPC-released pro-angiogenic factors such as VEGF, TGF-β and TNF, etc., bind to the corresponding receptors on EC surfaces, and trigger the activation of transcriptional or post-transcriptional supressors of miRNA 155, 100, and let-7i expression. Resulting downregulation (blue arrow) of miR-155, miR-100, and miR-let-7i leads to the increased (red arrow) expression of mTOR, SMAD2, and SMAD3, and thus activation of the mTOR and TGF-β signaling cascade and transcription of genes responsible for endothelial morphogenesis.
