    Abstract Cancer cell adhesion to the endothelium is a crucial process in hematogenous metastasis, but how the integrity of the endothelial barrier and endothelial cell (EC) mechanical properties influence the adhesion between metastatic cancer cells and the endothelium remain unclear. In the present study, we have measured the adhesion between single cancer cells and two types of ECs at various growth states and their mechanical properties (elasticity) using atomic force microscopy single cell force spectroscopy. We demonstrated that the EC stiffness increased and adhesion with cancer cells decreased, as ECs grew from a single cell to a confluent state and developed cell-cell contacts, but this was reversed when confluent cells returned to a single state in a scratch assay. Our results suggest that the integrity of the endothelial barrier is an important factor in reducing the ability of the metastatic tumor cells to adhere to the vascular endothelium, extravasate and lodge in the vasculature of a distant organ where secondary metastatic tumors would develop.

    Abstract The cornea and cranial dura mater share sensory innervation. This link raises the possibility that pathological impulses mediated by corneal injury may be transmitted to the cranial dura, trigger dural perivascular/connective tissue nociceptor responses, and induce vascular and stromal alterations affecting dura mater blood and lymphatic vessel functionality. In this study, using a mouse model, we demonstrate for the first time that two weeks after the initial insult, alkaline injury to the cornea leads to remote pathological changes within the coronal suture area of the dura mater. Specifically, we detected significant pro-fibrotic changes in the dural stroma, as well as vascular remodeling characterized by alterations in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) morphology, reduced blood vessel VSMC coverage, endothelial cell expression of the fibroblast specific protein 1, and significant increase in the number of podoplanin-positive lymphatic sprouts. Intriguingly, the deficiency of a major extracellular matrix component, small leucine-rich proteoglycan decorin, modifies both the direction and the extent of these changes. As the dura mater is the most important route for the brain metabolic clearance, these results are of clinical relevance and provide a much-needed link explaining the association between ophthalmic conditions and the development of neurodegenerative diseases.

    Abstract The pathogenesis of headaches is a matter of ongoing discussion of two major theories describing it either as a vascular phenomenon resulting from vasodilation or primarily as a neurogenic process accompanied by secondary vasodilation associated with sterile neurogenic inflammation. While summarizing current views on neurogenic and vascular origins of headache, this mini review adds new insights regarding how smooth muscle-free microvascular networks, discovered within dura mater connective tissue stroma (previously thought to be "avascular"), may become a site of initial insult generating the background for the development of headache. Deficiencies in estrogen-dependent control of microvascular integrity leading to plasma protein extravasation, potential activation of perivascular and connective tissue stroma nociceptive neurons, and triggering of inflammatory responses are described. Finally, possible avenues for controlling and preventing these pathophysiological changes are discussed.

    Abstract The contribution of cranial dura mater vascular networks, as means for maintaining brain fluid movement and balance, and as the source of significant initiators and/or contributors to neurological disorders, has been overlooked. These networks consist of both blood and lymphatic vessels. The latter were discovered recently and described as sinus-associated structures thus changing the old paradigm that central nervous system lacks lymphatics. In this study, using markers specific to blood and lymphatic endothelia, we demonstrate the existence of the complex non-sinus-associated pachymeningeal lymphatic vasculature. We further show the interrelationship and possible connections between lymphatic vessels and the dural blood circulatory system. Our novel findings reveal the presence of lymphatic-like structures that exist on their own and/or in close proximity to microvessels. Of particular interest are sub-sets of vascular complexes with dual (lymphatic and blood) vessel identity representing a unique microenvironment within the cranial dura. The close association of the systemic blood circulation and meningeal lymphatics achieved in these complexes could facilitate fluid exchange between the two compartments and constitute an alternative route for CSF drainage.

    Abstract Segmentation and quantification of microvasculature structures are the main steps toward studying microvasculature remodeling. The proposed patch based semantic architecture enables accurate segmentation for the challenging epifluorescence microscopy images. Our pixel-based fast semantic network trained on random patches from different epifluorescence images to learn how to discriminate between vessels versus nonvessels pixels. The proposed semantic vessel network (SVNet) relies on understanding the morphological structure of the thin vessels in the patches rather than considering the whole image as input to speed up the training process and to maintain the clarity of thin structures. Experimental results on our ovariectomized - ovary removed (OVX) - mice dura mater epifluorescence microscopy images shows promising results in both arteriole and venule part. We compared our results with different segmentation methods such as local, global thresholding, matched based filter approaches and related state of the art deep learning networks. Our overall accuracy (> 98%) outperforms all the methods including our previous work (VNet). [1].

    Abstract Metastatic cancer spread to bones, causing intractable pain, pathological fractures, spinal cord compression, and ultimately death, represents massive clinical problem. Intravascular cell-to-cell heterotypic (between cancer and other types of cells) and homotypic (between cancer cells) adhesive interactions, leading to the establishment of metastatic deposits in bone marrow vasculature, represent important rate-limiting steps in bone metastasis. In this review, we discuss molecular and cellular mechanisms underpinning metastasis-associated intravascular cell-to-cell adhesive interactions, their role in a multi-step metastatic cascade, and a potential for therapeutic targeting of early metastasis-associated adhesive events.
