Figure Lengend Snippet: Endothelial, fibroblast and cardiomyocyte cell purification from mouse hearts (A) Scheme on the experimental procedures to isolate the indicated cell types from mouse hearts. (B) Heatmap of cell marker gene expression in RNA from isolated cardiomyocytes (CM), endothelial cells (EC) or fibroblasts (FB) after sham or the indicated time point after TAC surgery. (C) Cardiac endothelial cells and fibroblasts were isolated from mouse hearts and stained for the endothelial markers CD31 and CD102, for the leukocyte marker CD45, and the fibroblast marker Mefsk4. Subsequently, flow cytometric analyses were performed and representative results are shown here. The numbers indicated in each quadrant indicates the percentage of cells localized in that particular quadrant. (D) RNA from the different cell types after sham or 1 and 8 weeks after TAC was subjected to RNA sequencing. The differences in overall gene expression patterns were visualized by a principal component analysis.

Article Title: Synthetic disulfide-bridged cyclic peptides mimic the anti-angiogenic actions of chondromodulin-I

doi: 10.1111/j.1349-7006.2012.02276.x

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of the synthetic and tailed chondromodulin-I (ChM-I) cyclic peptide on tumor angiogenesis and growth in an animal model in which OUMS-27 cells (5 × 10 6 cells) were subcutaneously inoculated in the backs of 4 week-old nude mice. (A) Time-course of tumor volume changes. When the tumor volume reached about 45 mm 3 , each mouse was injected around the tumor mass each day for the initial 5 days with PBS (50 μL) alone (♢), PBS containing 4.3 nmol (20 μg) ChM-I cyclic peptide with a tail (○), or PBS containing 0.2 nmol (5 μg) recombinant human ChM-I (rhChM-I) (●) (arrows). The tumor volumes were determined by the width 2 × length × 0.52. Values are the means ± SD from at least six animals per group. (B) Gross appearance of tumors excised on day 21. Bar, 10 mm. (C) Immunohistochemical staining of the CD31-positive vasculature. On day 21, tumor tissues were excised, fixed, and cross-sectioned. The sections were then stained with toluidine blue (left panels), and semi-serial sections were stained with an anti-type II collagen antibody ( green signal in the right panels) and an anti-CD31 antibody ( red signal in the right panels), respectively. Bars, 100 μm. (D) The CD31-positive area was measured as described in the methods section. Values are the means ± SD of five tumors per group. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01.

Article Snippet: Anti-CD31 antibody and anti-collagen type II antibody were obtained from BD PharMingen (San Diego, CA, USA) and Rockland (Gilvertsville, PA, USA), respectively.
