DataSheet1_Basement Membrane of Tissue Engineered Extracellular Matrix Scaffolds Modulates Rapid Human Endothelial Cell Recellularization and Promote Quiescent Behavior After Monolayer Formation.PDF
Off-the-shelf small diameter vascular grafts are an attractive alternative to eliminate the shortcomings of autologous tissues for vascular grafting. Bovine saphenous vein (SV) extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds are potentially ideal small diameter vascular grafts, due to their inherent architecture and signaling molecules capable of driving repopulating cell behavior and regeneration. However, harnessing this potential is predicated on the ability of the scaffold generation technique to maintain the delicate structure, composition, and associated functions of native vascular ECM. Previous de-cellularization methods have been uniformly demonstrated to disrupt the delicate basement membrane components of native vascular ECM. The antigen removal (AR) tissue processing method utilizes the protein chemistry principle of differential solubility to achieve a step-wise removal of antigens with similar physiochemical properties. Briefly, the cellular components of SV are permeabilized and the actomyosin crossbridges are relaxed, followed by lipophilic antigen removal, sarcomeric disassembly, hydrophilic antigen removal, nuclease digestion, and washout. Here, we demonstrate that bovine SV ECM scaffolds generated using the novel AR approach results in the retention of native basement membrane protein structure, composition (e.g., Collagen IV and laminin), and associated cell modulatory function. Presence of basement membrane proteins in AR vascular ECM scaffolds increases the rate of endothelial cell monolayer formation by enhancing cell migration and proliferation. Following monolayer formation, basement membrane proteins promote appropriate formation of adherence junction and apicobasal polarization, increasing the secretion of nitric oxide, and driving repopulating endothelial cells toward a quiescent phenotype. We conclude that the presence of an intact native vascular basement membrane in the AR SV ECM scaffolds modulates human endothelial cell quiescent monolayer formation which is essential for vessel homeostasis.</p

Mapping Serum Albumin Adducts of the Food-Borne Carcinogen 2‑Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5‑<i>b</i>]pyridine by Data-Dependent Tandem Mass Spectrometry
2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-<i>b</i>]pyridine (PhIP) is a heterocyclic aromatic amine that is formed
during the cooking of meats. PhIP is a potential human carcinogen:
it undergoes metabolic activation to form electrophilic metabolites
that bind to DNA and proteins, including serum albumin (SA). The structures
of PhIP-SA adducts formed in vivo are unknown and require elucidation
before PhIP protein adducts can be implemented as biomarkers in human
studies. We previously examined the reaction of genotoxic N-oxidized
metabolites of PhIP with human SA in vitro and identified covalent
adducts formed at cysteine<sup>34</sup> (Cys<sup>34</sup>); however,
other adduction products were thought to occur. We have now identified
adducts of PhIP formed at multiple sites of SA reacted with isotopic
mixtures of electrophilic metabolites of PhIP and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-[<sup>2</sup>H<sub>5</sub>]-phenylimidazo[4,5-<i>b</i>]pyridine
([<sup>2</sup>H<sub>5</sub>]-PhIP). The metabolites used for study
were 2-nitro-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-<i>b</i>]pyridine
(NO<sub>2</sub>-PhIP), 2-hydroxyamino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-<i>b</i>]pyridine (HONH-PhIP), or <i>N</i>-acetyloxy-2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-<i>b</i>]pyridine (<i>N</i>-acetoxy-PhIP). Following
proteolytic digestion, PhIP-adducted peptides were separated by ultra
performance liquid chromatography and characterized by ion trap mass
spectrometry, employing isotopic data-dependent scanning. Analysis
of the tryptic or tryptic/chymotryptic digests of SA modified with
NO<sub>2</sub>-PhIP revealed that adduction occurred at Cys<sup>34</sup>, Lys<sup>195</sup>, Lys<sup>199</sup>, Lys<sup>351</sup>, Lys<sup>541</sup>, Tyr<sup>138</sup>, Tyr<sup>150</sup>, Tyr<sup>401</sup>, and Tyr<sup>411</sup>, whereas the only site of HONH-PhIP adduction
was detected at Cys<sup>34</sup>. <i>N</i>-Acetoxy-PhIP,
a penultimate metabolite of PhIP that reacts with DNA to form covalent
adducts, did not appear to form stable adducts with SA; instead, PhIP
and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-(5-hydroxy)-phenylimidazo[4,5-<i>b</i>]pyridine, an aqueous reaction product of the proposed nitrenium
ion of PhIP, were recovered during the proteolysis of <i>N</i>-acetoxy-PhIP-modified SA. Some of these SA adduction products of
PhIP may be implemented in molecular epidemiology studies to assess
the role of well-done cooked meat, PhIP, and the risk of cancer
