Figure Legend Snippet: Establishment of basal cell (BC) and endothelial cell (EC) co-culture system to study BC differentiation into a mucociliated epithelium. A. Immunofluorescence assessment of a normal human airway biopsy with staining for BC (KRT5, green), EC (CD31, red) and nuclei (DAPI, blue). Scale bar 50 μm. B. Schematic representation of the BC and EC co-culture system to study the impact of EC on BC differentiation into a mucociliated epithelium. C. Immunofluorescence assessment of BC and EC co-culture with staining for BC (KRT5, red), EC (VE-cadherin, green) and nuclei (DAPI, blue). Upper panel, BC cultured alone. Lower panel, BC and EC co-culture. White dashed line outlines the membrane of the Transwell insert. Scale bar 20 μm. D. Immunofluorescence staining of the epithelial layer of ALI day 28 cultures. Basal cells were cultured alone or co-cultured with EC at a 10:1 and 2:1 (BC:EC) ratio and then stained for ciliated cells (β-tubulin IV, green), secretory cells (SCGB1A1, red) and nuclei (DAPI, blue). Scale bar 20 μm. E. Basal cells were cultured alone or co-cultured with EC at a 10:1 and 2:1 (BC:EC) ratio on air-liquid interface (ALI) culture for 7 days to assess the impact of EC on the early stages of BC differentiation into a mucociliated epithelium at the molecular level. TaqMan PCR analysis to assess mRNA expression of BC (KRT5), intermediate (KRT8), secretory (non-mucus producing, SCGB1A1 and mucus producing, MUC5B) and ciliated cell (FOXJ1) markers in BC cultured alone or co-cultured with EC cells at 10:1 and 2:1 (BC:EC) ratio. Bars indicate the mean for n=6 independent experiments each performed in triplicate and error bars indicate standard error of the mean. Asterisks (*) indicate p<0.05 compared to BC alone. The experiments for E were performed with n=4 independent donors of BC and EC.
Techniques Used: Co-Culture Assay, Immunofluorescence, Staining, Cell Culture, Membrane, Expressing
Figure Legend Snippet: Endothelial cell (EC) co-culture increases differentiation of basal cells (BC) into ciliated cells. Basal cells were cultured alone or co-cultured with EC at a 10:1 and 2:1 (BC:EC) ratio on air-liquid interface (ALI) culture for 28 days to assess the impact of EC on BC differentiation into a mucociliated epithelium at the histological level via immunofluorescence staining with cell type specific markers. A. KRT5+ BC. Sections of cells were stained for KRT5 (red) and DAPI (nuclei, blue). B. KRT8+ intermediate cells. Sections of cells were stained for KRT8 (red) and DAPI (nuclei, blue). C. SCGB1A1+ secretory cells. Sections of cells were stained for SCGB1A1 (red) and DAPI (nuclei, blue). D. MUC5B+ secretory cells. Sections of cells were stained for MUC5B (red) and DAPI (nuclei, blue). E β-tubulin IV+ cells. Sections of cells were stained for β-tubulin IV (ciliated, green) and DAPI (nuclei, blue). A–E. Scale bar 20 μm. H. Quantification of KRT5+, KRT8+, SCGB1A1+, MUC5B+ and β-tubulin IV+ cells. The bars indicate the mean for n=4 independent experiments and error bars indicate standard error of the mean. Asterisks (*) indicate p<0.05 compared to BC cultured alone. The experiments for A–H were performed with n=4 independent donors of BC and EC.

Figure Legend Snippet: siRNA mediated knockdown of INSR and IGF1R in basal cells (BC) suppresses ciliated cell differentiation. Basal cells with transfected with either control, INSR or IGF1R specific siRNA and cultured on ALI for 7 days to assess the impact of each receptor on the early stages of BC differentiation into a mucociliated epithelium at the molecular level. A. TaqMan PCR analysis to assess INSR mRNA expression at ALI day 0. Bars indicate the mean for n=3 independent experiments each performed in triplicate and error bars indicate standard error of the mean. B. TaqMan PCR analysis to assess IGF1R mRNA expression at ALI day 0. Bars indicate the mean for n=3 independent experiments each performed in triplicate and error bars indicate standard error of the mean. C. TaqMan PCR analysis to assess mRNA expression of BC (KRT5), intermediate (KRT8), secretory (non-mucus producing, SCGB1A1 and mucus producing, MUC5B) and ciliated cell markers (FOXJ1, MYB and DNAI1) in BC at ALI day 7 following siRNA mediated knockdown of INSR (black bars) and IGF1R (grey bars). Bars indicate the mean for n=3 independent experiments each performed in triplicate and error bars indicate standard error of the mean. Asterisks (*) indicate p<0.05 compared to BC transfected with control siRNA. The experiments for A–C were performed with n=3 independent donors of BC.
