Endothelial cell (EC) heterogeneity is vital for specialized functions. A new tool reveals single-cell NOTCH activation differences, linking EC proliferation to their activation states and improving understanding of EC plasticity.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Biology
  • Cell Biology
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Endothelial cells (ECs) exhibit significant heterogeneity, influencing their specialized functions and plasticity.
  • Current single-cell transcriptomic methods lose crucial spatial and contextual information, limiting the study of cell-cell crosstalk.
  • Understanding EC heterogeneity is critical for developing therapeutics for cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and regenerative medicine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and utilize a novel tool for analyzing endothelial cell heterogeneity within intact monolayers.
  • To characterize distinct endothelial cell phenotypes in arterial, venous, and microvascular populations.
  • To investigate the relationship between endothelial cell proliferation and NOTCH activation states at a single-cell level.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an Endothelial Cell Profiling Tool (ECPT) for examining individual cells in intact monolayers.
  • Application of ECPT to characterize phenotypes in arterial, venous, and microvascular ECs.
  • Quantification of heterogeneity in cell cycle, junction organization, and NOTCH activation.

Main Results:

  • ECPT successfully characterized endothelial cell heterogeneity, including cell cycle, proliferation, and junction organization.
  • A previously unrecognized single-cell heterogeneity in NOTCH activation within endothelial cells was uncovered.
  • Cell proliferation was correlated with different NOTCH activation states at both single-cell and population levels.

Conclusions:

  • The developed ECPT provides crucial positional and relational information for studying endothelial cell heterogeneity.
  • This approach advances the understanding of molecular mechanisms driving endothelial cell heterogeneity and plasticity.
  • Findings pave the way for targeted therapeutic strategies in vascular-related diseases and regenerative medicine.
