    Abstract A primary challenge in tissue engineering is to recapitulate both the structural and functional features of whole tissues and organs. In vivo, patterning of the body plan and constituent tissues emerges from the carefully orchestrated interactions between the transcriptional programs that give rise to cell types and the mechanical forces that drive the bending, twisting, and extensions critical to morphogenesis. Substantial recent progress in mechanobiology-understanding how mechanics regulate cell behaviors and what cellular machineries are responsible-raises the possibility that one can begin to use these insights to help guide the strategy and design of functional engineered tissues. In this perspective, we review and propose the development of different approaches, from providing appropriate extracellular mechanical cues to interfering with cellular mechanosensing machinery, to aid in controlling cell and tissue structure and function.

    Abstract BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have dramatically improved survival in Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemias. Newer BCR-ABL TKIs provide superior cancer outcomes but with increased risk of acute arterial thrombosis, which further increases in patients with cardiovascular comorbidities and mitigates survival benefits compared to imatinib. Recent studies implicate endothelial cell (EC) damage in this toxicity by unknown mechanisms with few side-by-side comparisons of multiple TKIs and with no available data on endothelial impact of recently approved TKIs or novels TKIs being tested in clinical trials. To characterize BCR-ABL TKI induced EC dysfunction we exposed primary human umbilical vein ECs in 2D and 3D culture to clinically relevant concentrations of seven BCR-ABL TKIs and quantified their impact on EC scratch-wound healing, viability, inflammation, and permeability mechanisms. Dasatinib, ponatinib, and nilotinib, the TKIs associated with thrombosis in patients, all significantly impaired EC wound healing, survival, and proliferation compared to imatinib, but only dasatinib and ponatinib impaired cell migration and only nilotinib enhanced EC necrosis. Dasatinib and ponatinib increased leukocyte adhesion to ECs with upregulation of adhesion molecule expression in ECs (ICAM1, VCAM1, and P-selectin) and leukocytes (PSGL1). Dasatinib increased permeability and impaired cell junctional integrity in human engineered microvessels, consistent with its unique association with pleural effusions. Of the new agents, bafetinib decreased EC viability and increased microvessel permeability while asciminib and radotinib did not impact any EC function tested. In summary, the vasculotoxic TKIs (dasatinib, ponatinib, nilotinib) cause EC toxicity but with mechanistic differences, supporting the potential need for drug-specific vasculoprotective strategies. Asciminib and radotinib do not induce EC toxicity at clinically relevant concentrations suggesting a better safety profile.

    Abstract The Notch pathway regulates complex patterning events in many species and is critical for the proper formation and function of the vasculature. Despite this importance, how the various components of the Notch pathway work in concert is still not well understood. For example, NOTCH1 stabilizes homotypic endothelial junctions, but the role of NOTCH1 in heterotypic interactions is not entirely clear. NOTCH3, on the other hand, is essential for heterotypic interactions of pericytes with the endothelium, but how NOTCH3 signaling in pericytes impacts the endothelium remains elusive. Here, we use in vitro vascular models to investigate whether pericyte-induced stabilization of the vasculature requires the cooperation of NOTCH1 and NOTCH3. We observe that both pericyte NOTCH3 and endothelial NOTCH1 are required for the stabilization of the endothelium. Loss of either NOTCH3 or NOTCH1 decreases the accumulation of VE-cadherin at endothelial adherens junctions and increases the frequency of wider, more motile junctions. We found that DLL4 was the key ligand for simulating NOTCH1 activation in endothelial cells and observed that DLL4 expression in pericytes is dependent on NOTCH3. Altogether, these data suggest that an interplay between pericyte NOTCH3 and endothelial NOTCH1 is critical for pericyte-induced vascular stabilization.

    Abstract Vinculin was identified as a component of focal adhesions and adherens junctions nearly 40 years ago. Since that time, remarkable progress has been made in understanding its activation, regulation and function. Here we discuss the current understanding of the roles of vinculin in cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesions. Emphasis is placed on the how vinculin is recruited, activated and regulated. We also highlight the recent understanding of how vinculin responds to and transmits force at integrin- and cadherin-containing adhesion complexes to the cytoskeleton. Furthermore, we discuss roles of vinculin in binding to and rearranging the actin cytoskeleton.

    Abstract Patients with Alagille syndrome carry monogenic mutations in the Notch signaling pathway and face complications such as jaundice and cholestasis. Given the presence of intrahepatic ductopenia in these patients, Notch2 receptor signaling is implicated in driving normal biliary development and downstream branching morphogenesis. As a result, in vitro model systems of liver epithelium are needed to further mechanistic insight of biliary tissue assembly. Here, primary human intrahepatic cholangiocytes as a candidate population for such a platform are systematically evaluated, and conditions that direct their branching morphogenesis are described. It is found that extracellular matrix presentation, coupled with mitogen stimulation, promotes biliary branching in a Notch-dependent manner. These results demonstrate the utility of using 3D scaffolds for mechanistic investigation of cholangiocyte branching and provide a gateway to integrate biliary architecture in additional in vitro models of liver tissue.
