a Schematic diagram of the experimental procedure. Briefly, GBM tumors (ccf4259, ccf4268, ccf4272, and DI247) cut into ~4 mm in diameter were cultured in Matrigel in neurobasal medium supplemented with 1 ng/ml EGF and 1 ng/ml bFGF. On day 2, anti-integrin α3 subunit blocking antibody or control mouse IgG was injected at three places per tumor piece to achieve ~5 µg/ml in tumor volume. The same injection was repeated on day 6. On day 9, tumors were fixed in 10% formalin and paraffin-embedded. Sections were labeled with rabbit anti-CD31 antibody and Alexa-Fluor-488 goat anti-rabbit IgG, followed by DAPI nuclear stain and imaging. b Representative immunofluorescent images from organotypic culture of tumor ccf4272 are shown. c Percent CD31-positive area per field was obtained by image processing using ImageJ. n denotes the number of different fields, for ccf4269, n = 44 for mouse IgG and n = 95 for anti-integrin α3; for ccf4268, n = 39 for mouse IgG and n = 103 for anti-integrin α3; for ccf4272, n = 57 for mouse IgG and n = 82 for anti-integrin α3; for DI-247, n = 59 for mouse IgG and n = 88 for anti-integrin α3. The boxes indicate the first and third quartiles, bands indicate medians, and the whiskers indicate ±1.5 interquartile range. A linear mixed model was used for statistical analysis ( p < 0.001).

Figure Lengend Snippet: a Schematic diagram of the experimental procedure. Briefly, GBM tumors (ccf4259, ccf4268, ccf4272, and DI247) cut into ~4 mm in diameter were cultured in Matrigel in neurobasal medium supplemented with 1 ng/ml EGF and 1 ng/ml bFGF. On day 2, anti-integrin α3 subunit blocking antibody or control mouse IgG was injected at three places per tumor piece to achieve ~5 µg/ml in tumor volume. The same injection was repeated on day 6. On day 9, tumors were fixed in 10% formalin and paraffin-embedded. Sections were labeled with rabbit anti-CD31 antibody and Alexa-Fluor-488 goat anti-rabbit IgG, followed by DAPI nuclear stain and imaging. b Representative immunofluorescent images from organotypic culture of tumor ccf4272 are shown. c Percent CD31-positive area per field was obtained by image processing using ImageJ. n denotes the number of different fields, for ccf4269, n = 44 for mouse IgG and n = 95 for anti-integrin α3; for ccf4268, n = 39 for mouse IgG and n = 103 for anti-integrin α3; for ccf4272, n = 57 for mouse IgG and n = 82 for anti-integrin α3; for DI-247, n = 59 for mouse IgG and n = 88 for anti-integrin α3. The boxes indicate the first and third quartiles, bands indicate medians, and the whiskers indicate ±1.5 interquartile range. A linear mixed model was used for statistical analysis ( p < 0.001).

Figure Lengend Snippet: a NECs (422 and 623) and TECs (isolates ccf3889, DI-167, and DI-337) were incubated with 25 µg/ml TMR-dex for 30 min, followed by imaging. n denotes the number of different fields: NECs, n = 20 for 422 and n = 20 for 623; and TECs, n = 30 for each isolate. Representative images are shown. Macropinocytosis Index was defined as (total TMR-dex area/total cell area) x 100 per field and Macropinosome Number was defined as the average number of macropinosomes in a cell per field. Statistical analysis: two-sided Wilcoxon-rank-sum tests. Correlation between Macropinocytosis Index and Macropinosome Number was analyzed by linear regression model after adjusting for group effect; shaded area in the correlation graph represents the 95% confidence band for the regression line. b TECs (isolate ccf2390) treated with DMSO (vehicle-control; n = 11) or 100 nM EIPA ( n = 11) for 10 min were subsequently incubated with TMR-dex for 30 min, followed by imaging. Statistical analysis: two-sided Wilcoxon-rank-sum test. c Tube formation of TECs (isolates cf2390 and ccf2687) was quantitated by the numbers of tubes formed per field on Matrigel after 6 h in M199 + 10% FBS in the presence of DMSO (vehicle-control; n = 18 for ccf2390, and n = 18 for ccf2687) or 50 nM EIPA ( n = 18 for ccf2390, and n = 18 for ccf2687). Statistical analysis: two-sided Wilcoxon-rank-sum test. d , e TECs (isolate ccf2390) were pretreated for 3 h with blocking antibody toward integrin α3 ( n = 23) or mouse IgG ( n = 23) and TECs (isolate DI-102) were pretreated with blocking antibody toward CD151 ( n = 11) or mouse IgG ( n = 9), and then TECs were incubated for 30 min with TMR-dex. Statistical analysis: two-sided Wilcoxon-rank-sum test. f Shown are immunoblots of integrin α3 and CD151 from TECs (isolate ccf3889) at 48 h after transfection with siRNA for integrin α3 or CD151. These immunoblots were performed at least two times, and cell lysate samples loaded in separate lanes were from independent replicates. At 48 h after transfection with siRNA, TECs (isolate ccf3889) were incubated with TMR-dex for 15 min. n = number of different fields: integrin α3, n = 16 for siintegrin α3-1 and n = 16 for siintegrin α3-2; CD151, n = 17 for siCD151; and control siRNA, n = 16. Representative images are shown. Statistical analysis: Dunn-method for pairwise-comparisons between each siRNA with ConRi. Boxes indicate the first and third quartiles, bands indicate medians, and whiskers indicate ±1.5 interquartile range. Dotted lines denote means in a – f .

Figure Lengend Snippet: a LAMP1 was labelled after TECs (isolate ccf2390) were incubated with 25 µg/ml TMR-dex for 3 h at 37 °C, followed by fixation and permeabilization. Representative images shown; yellow arrows indicate TMR-dex and LAMP1 co-localization. Colocalization was 99% based on the Manders’ Coefficient (M1 = 0.999; M2 = 0.058). Independent experiments were performed at least two-times with similar results. b Experimental-procedure schematic for c , d . Adherent TECs (isolate ccf3889) were incubated with 100 µg/ml TMR-dex for 15 min at 37 °C, washed, harvested, labeled with 5 µg/ml Alexa-Fluor-647-conjugated-WGA in suspension, washed and plated on Matrigel for 20 h. Representative 3-D ( c ) and cross-sectional ( d ) images of tubes. e , f Adherent TECs (isolate ccf2390) were incubated with 100 µg/ml TMR-dex for 15 min at 37 °C, washed, harvested, and plated on Matrigel for 3 h with ( n = 12) or without 0.5 mM EGTA ( n = 10) ( e ), or in the presence of mouse IgG ( n = 21) or integrin α3 antibody ( n = 21) ( f ), followed by fixation and labeling with the LAMP1 mAb, H4A3. g TECs (isolate ccf3889) either in DMEM + 5% FBS (control media) or in calcium-free media were treated with ( n = 20) or without 0.5 mM EGTA ( n = 20) for 15 min, and then incubated with 100 µg/ml TMR-dex for 15 min at 37 °C, and fixed. Representative images are shown for panels e – g . h TECs (isolate ccf3889) in DMEM + 5% FBS were incubated on Matrigel with ( n = 36) or without 0.5 mM EGTA ( n = 36) for 18 h. g , h Statistical analysis: two-sided Wilcoxon-rank-sum tests. n = number of different fields. Boxes indicate first and third quartiles, bands indicate medians, and whiskers indicate ±1.5 interquartile range. Dotted lines denote means. i , j Increase of intracellular Ca 2+ by extracellular Ca 2+ influx was measured by fluorescence intensity of Fluo-8 (Ex/Em = 490/525). To deplete intracellular calcium storage, TECs (isolate DI-102) were treated with 1 µM of Thapsigargin (TH) before addition of extracellular CaCl2 to the medium. Data points indicate means of 3-replicates, and bars denote standard errors. j TECs (isolate DI-102) were preincubated with mouse IgG or blocking anti-integrin α3 antibody, followed by addition of TH and CaCl2. Statistical analysis: linear mixed model. k Proposed TEC tube-formation model. TEC tube-formation mechanism requires macropinocytosis and lysosomal exocytosis.
