Description

Construction method of endothelial cell and pericyte co-culture model for researching tube formation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of tumor biology, in particular to a method for constructing a co-culture model of endothelial cells and pericytes for researching tube formation.
Background
Over the past decades we have had a more extensive and intensive understanding of primary tumors. Despite substantial advances in the treatment of some tumors, tumor treatment remains a worldwide health problem. Although new chemotherapeutic drugs and means are continuously discovered, chemotherapeutic drug resistance is still a big obstacle to limit the effect of chemotherapy. Studies have found that blood vessels are critical for the delivery of nutrients, oxygen, and even chemotherapeutic drugs in solid tumors [1] . Therefore, the method improves the tumor vascular growth and is particularly important in the study of chemotherapy drug resistance.
The formation of new tumor blood vessels is carried out,i.e., tumor angiogenesis, involving enhanced proliferation and migration of endothelial cells, development of vascular basement membrane, and subsequent recruitment of supporting parietal cells including pericytes [2] . Pericytes, also known as parietal cells, play important regulatory roles in stabilizing vascular walls, controlling vasodilation, regulating vascular perfusion, and the like [3-4] . However, the role of pericytes in current tumor therapy studies is rarely mentioned.
Just as tumor endothelial cells differ from endothelial cells in normal tissue, tumor-derived pericytes appear abnormal or dysfunctional compared to pericytes in normal tissue. It is not clear whether cancer cells promote tumor growth by causing changes in the properties of pericytes. Indeed, in many cancers, there is a defect in pericyte-endothelial cell interaction, characterized by impaired vascular integrity [5-6] . For example, pericyte shedding or shedding from tumor vessels can often be observed in some cancers, which is considered to be a cause of promoting cancer metastasis [7-8] . On the other hand, pericytes have been shown to protect endothelial cells from anti-angiogenic drugs (e.g., bevacizumab), and thus treatment in combination with PDGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (i.e., to exclude pericytes) and VEGF inhibition is more effective than anti-VEGF treatment alone in preventing tumor angiogenesis in some animal models [9-10] . But the treatment has failed clinically. The main reason is that the conventional in-vitro human tube formation model does not co-culture pericytes, which influences the effectiveness of screening the targeted vascular drugs. At the same time, the relevance of pericytes in controlling cancer growth and development remains unclear, and the molecular mechanisms behind their regulation of tumor progression remain largely unknown.
Therefore, the study on the regulation and control of the pericytes on tumor blood vessels can create favorable conditions for the future study on the growth and the development of tumors and the reversal of cancer drug resistance. To solve the above scientific and clinical problems, this suggests that we need to develop a model system for co-culturing endothelial cells and pericytes for in vitro studies of tube formation.

(4) Digesting tissues and preparing a culture plate coating solution, adding 320 mu L of 30 mu G/mL collagen (Sigma, C7661-25 MG) solution into 48mL of 0.1% (w/V) gelatin (Sigma, V900863-100G) solution, and uniformly mixing; the coating solution was then added to 6-well plates and incubated in an incubator at 37 ℃ for more than 30 min. Excess coating solution was aspirated off before adding the cells.
(5) Centrifuging the digested cells of step (3) at room temperature for 300g and 5min, resuspending and dispersing into single cells in pericyte culture medium (PM), placing on the coated 6-well plate obtained in step (4), and removing CO at 37 deg.C and 5% 2 The culture was carried out for 24 hours. And (4) sucking off the suspension cells and replacing with a new culture medium, wherein the adherent growth cells are Tumor Pericytes (TPC) and paracancer normal tissue pericytes (NPC).
(6) The HUVEC cells obtained in step (2), and TPC and NPC cells obtained in step (5) were observed under a microscope, and tube formation experiments were conducted when the cells were grown to 80% (confluency).
(7) The 96-well plate was placed on ice, 50. Mu.L of Matrigel (R & D, 3432-010-01) was added to each well, and after leveling, incubation was performed at 37 ℃ for 1 hour or more.
(8) Digesting the HUVEC, TPC and NPC cells obtained in the step (6) with trypsin respectively; wherein, HUVEC cells were dispersed at 4X 10 after counting with bronchial epithelial cell culture medium (BEpicM) 5 Each/ml, storing on ice; TPC and NPC cells were washed with 2mL of PBS buffer, and then resuspended in 1X 10 of PBS buffer 6 Per ml;
(9) Adding the TPC and NPC cells obtained in the step (8) into CFSE dye (Tonbo Biosciences, 13-0850-U500) (https:// Tonbo. Com/products/CFSE) to the concentration of 5 mu M, and incubating for 15min at room temperature in the dark; then adding 5 times volume of RPMI-1640 (GIBCO, C11875500 BT) culture medium containing 10% (v/v) FBS in cold condition to stop staining, and incubating for 5min on ice; after centrifugation, the cells were washed once with PBS buffer, and the appropriate number of cells were resuspended in BEpicM medium to 4X 10 4 Per ml, obtaining dyed TPC and NPC cell suspension;
(10) The experimental groups were as follows: HUVEC, B.HUVEC + NPC, C.HUVEC + TPC, and then HUVEC cells obtained in step (8) (4X 10) 5 Pieces/ml) were dispersed with BEpICM and then mixed with an equal volume of BEpICM medium, NPC cells (4X 10) dispersed with BEpICM after staining in step (9), respectively 4 One/ml) and TPC cells (4X 10) 4 Pieces/ml) were mixed and placed in a 96-well plate previously coated with matrigel in step (7), and cultured in an incubator at 37 ℃.
(11) HUVEC and PC cell growth were observed with a fluorescence microscope at 4, 12, 24, 48 hours plating, respectively: white light can be used to observe the extent of tube formation and green fluorescence can be used to observe the interaction of PC and HUVEC cells.
(12) The experimental results are shown in fig. 1, and after the white light picture and the fluorescence picture are superimposed, it can be seen that the pericytes are all adsorbed to the periphery of the blood vessels. The statistical result shows that the length, the branch number and the number of the blood vessels are HUVEC > PC > TPC, which proves that the pericytes can pull the blood vessels, so that the blood vessels become smaller and less, and the peripheral cell pulling effect of the tumor tissue is stronger than that of the normal tissue. The results suggest that the pericytes are taken as the treatment targets to improve the tumor drug delivery and provide a new idea for tumor treatment.
Example 2
The remaining steps in the tube formation process were the same as in example 1, except that: in the step (10), the ratio of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) to TPC is 5: 1. 20:1. after co-culturing HUVEC and TPC cells, reticuloendothelial structure was similarly observed under a fluorescence microscope (the experimental results were similar to those of example 1, and no additional figure is given).
Example 3
The remaining steps in the tube formation process were the same as in example 1, except that: the final concentration of the CFSE dye in step (9) was 2. Mu.M, 10. Mu.M. After co-culturing HUVEC and TPC cells, reticuloendothelial structure was similarly observed under a fluorescence microscope (the experimental results were similar to those of example 1, and no additional figure is given).
Comparative example 1
The remaining step reagents during the tube formation experiment were the same as in example 1, except that: the medium used in the co-culture in step (10) was changed from BEpICM to human endothelial serum-free medium (SFM, gibco 11111044) supplemented with recombinant human fibroblast growth factor (bFGF; 20 ng/mL), epidermal growth factor (EGF; 10 ng/mL), human plasma fibronectin (10. Mu.g/mL) and 1% (v/v) penicillin/streptomycin solution for 48 hours (here the pericytes used in the co-culture were TPC cells).
As a result, as shown in FIG. 2A, co-culturing HUVEC and TPC cells after medium replacement did not form a significant reticuloendothelial structure, and it was confirmed that BEpicM medium used in example 1 was the optimal condition for tube formation.
Comparative example 2
The remaining steps in the tube formation process were the same as in example 1, except that: the ratio of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) and TPC cells in step (10) is 1: 1. 50:1.
the results are shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C: when the ratio of HUVEC to pericytes is 1: at 1, the HUVEC + PC group was consistently unable to form a reticuloendothelial structure due to too strong pericyte pulling (FIG. 2B). Whereas the ratio of HUVEC to pericytes was set at 50:1, results pericytes had little effect on the vessel pull (FIG. 2C).
Comparative example 3
The remaining steps in the tube formation process were the same as in example 1, except that: the final concentrations of CFSE dye in step (9) were 20. Mu.M and 0.5. Mu.M.
The results are shown in FIGS. 2D and 2E: the final dye concentration of 20 μ M reduced the PC activity, failing to expand into normal adherent morphology, with no stretching effect (FIG. 2D). At a CFSE concentration of 0.5. Mu.M, the fluorescence intensity was too weak, and the images were essentially quenched without completing the photographing at the two time points (FIG. 2E).
The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications which do not depart from the spirit and principle of the present invention should be construed as equivalents thereof, and all such changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications are intended to be included in the scope of the present invention.
