Mouse Primary Aortic Endothelial Cells

They produce endothelium derived substances regulating vasoconstriction and vessel growth.

Mouse primary aortic endothelial cells.

Endothelial cells ecs are key blood vessel wall components that play critical roles in the regulation of many physiological processes including angiogenesis coagulation and vascular tone. Paul huang cardiovascular. The human umbilical vein endothelial cells were cultured by using cell passageway to further growth in the culture medium. In the study of vascular biology analyses of endothelial cells ec and smooth muscle cells smc are very important.

The vascular endothelial cells play a significant role in many important cardiovascular disorders. The mouse is a critical model for research however the isolation of primary ec from murine aorta is considered difficult. Primary human aortic endothelial cells or haoecs acbri 375 were initiated from normal human descending aorta aortic arch to renal artery. Standard biochemical procedures performed with endothelial cell cultures include rt pcr western blotting immunoprecipitation immunofluorescent staining immunofluorescent flow cytometry or generating cell derivatives for desired research applications.

Previously reported procedures for the isolation of ec have required magnetic beads or fluorescence activated cell sorting facs to purify the cells. Wild type c57bl 6 and p47 phox knockout mice were purchased from jackson laboratories bar harbor maine. Isolation and culture of endothelial cells from mouse aorta preparation of aorta rings 1. Mouse aortic endothelial cells maec were isolated from the thoracic and abdominal aortas of various control and knockout mouse lines.

Method of primary cell culture with appropriate reagents. Enos knockout mice were kindly provided by dr. Primary human aortic endothelial cells acbri 375 were initiated from normal human descending aorta aortic arch to renal artery. Wipe off skin with 70 isopropanol and fix mice on an operation table.

Mouse aortic endothelial cells were isolated from c57bl 6 mice and used for experiments without any passage. Euthanatize mice by co 2 asphyxiation followed by cervical dislocation. This article describes a simple method to isolate and expand endothelial cells from the mouse aorta without using any special equipment. Our protocol provides an effective means of identifying mechanisms in endothelial cell physiopathology.

Marek drab max planck institute for molecular cell biology and genetics dresden germany. Mouse aortic endothelial cells maoec line the vessel wall of aorta and are constantly exposed to high hemodynamic forces. Authors pedro molina sánchez 1 vicente andrés 2 affiliations 1 laboratory of molecular and genetic. Isolation of mouse primary aortic endothelial cells by selection with specific antibodies methods mol biol.

C57bl 6 mouse primary aortic endothelial cells can be used in assays of cell cell adhesion migration vascular tube formation or transendothelial resistance ter.
