| Abstract | Background In the bone marrow microenvironment (BM), endothelial cells are individual cells that form part of the sinusoidal blood vessels called the “bone marrow endothelial-vascular niche.” They account for less than 2% of the bone marrow cells. They play essential functions by generating growth and inhibitory factors that promote the hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) regulation. In response to inflammatory stimuli, the BMECs increase in proliferation to maintain the blood vessels’ integrity within the BM. The inflammatory response releases cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) that promote vascular endothelial cells’ expansion and upregulation of adhesion molecules (ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, respectively) in the BM. However, the evaluation of mouse BMECs in the bone marrow microenvironment is scared by a lack of mouse bone marrow endothelial cell primary culture Methods Two steps approach for isolation of bone marrow endothelial cells (BMECs) from mice. In brief, the bone marrow cells extracted from the mice long bones were cultured overnight with Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and antibiotics to separate between marrow-derived adherent and non-adherent cells. The floating cells were discarded, and the adhered section detached with accutase and BMECs selected using CD31 microbeads. The isolated BMECs were cultured in a dish pre-coated with rat-tail collagen type 1 with endothelial cells medium supplement with growth factors. The cells were verified by confocal microscopy for morphology and tube formation by matrigel assay. We validate the cells’ purity by flow cytometry, RT-qPCR, immunofluorescence staining, and immunoblotting by established BMEC markers, PECAM-1, VE-cadherin, vascular endothelial cell growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2), CD45, E-selectin, and endothelial selectin adhesion molecule (ESAM). Lastly, we characterize BMEC activation with recombinant TNF-α. Results Our method clearly defined the cells isolated have the characteristics of BMECs with the expression of CD31, VE-cadherin, E-selectin, VEGFR-2, and ESAM. The cells’ response to TNF-α indicates its inflammatory function by increasing proliferation and upregulation of adhesion molecules. Conclusions This study outline a simple new technique of isolating mouse BMEC primary culture and a suitable method to evaluate the function and dysregulation of BMEC in in vitro studies using mouse models. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
