- Abstract
Blood vessels grow and remodel in response to mechanical stimuli. Many computational models capture this process phenomenologically, by assuming stress homeostasis, but this approach cannot unravel the underlying cellular mechanisms. Mechano-sensitive Notch signaling is well-known to be key in vascular development and homeostasis. Here, we present a multiscale framework coupling a constrained mixture model, capturing the mechanics and turnover of arterial constituents, to a cell-cell signaling model, describing Notch signaling dynamics among vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) as influenced by mechanical stimuli. Tissue turnover was regulated by both Notch activity, informed by in vitro data, and a phenomenological contribution, accounting for mechanisms other than Notch. This novel framework predicted changes in wall thickness and arterial composition in response to hypertension similar to previous in vivo data. The simulations suggested that Notch contributes to arterial growth in hypertension mainly by promoting SMC proliferation, while other mechanisms are needed to fully capture remodeling. The results also indicated that interventions to Notch, such as external Jagged ligands, can alter both the geometry and composition of hypertensive vessels, especially in the short term. Overall, our model enables a deeper analysis of the role of Notch and Notch interventions in arterial growth and remodeling and could be adopted to investigate therapeutic strategies and optimize vascular regeneration protocols.

- Abstract
Mechanical stimuli experienced by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and mechanosensitive Notch signaling are important regulators of vascular growth and remodeling. However, the interplay between mechanical cues and Notch signaling, and its contribution to regulate the VSMC phenotype are still unclear. Here, we investigated the role of Notch signaling in regulating strain-mediated changes in VSMC phenotype. Synthetic and contractile VSMCs were cyclically stretched for 48 h to determine the temporal changes in phenotypic features. Different magnitudes of strain were applied to investigate its effect on Notch mechanosensitivity and the phenotypic regulation of VSMCs. In addition, Notch signaling was inhibited via DAPT treatment and activated with immobilized Jagged1 ligands to understand the role of Notch on strain-mediated phenotypic changes of VSMCs. Our data demonstrate that cyclic strain induces a decrease in Notch signaling along with a loss of VSMC contractile features. Accordingly, the activation of Notch signaling during cyclic stretching partially rescued the contractile features of VSMCs. These findings demonstrate that Notch signaling has an important role in regulating strain-mediated phenotypic switching of VSMCs.

06.03.2018 tarihli ve 30352 sayılı Resmi Gazetede yayımlanan “Yükseköğretim Kanunu İle Bazı Kanun Ve Kanun Hükmünde Kararnamelerde Değişiklik Yapılması Hakkında Kanun” ile 18.06.2018 tarihli “Lisansüstü Tezlerin Elektronik Ortamda Toplanması, Düzenlenmesi ve Erişime Açılmasına İlişkin Yönerge” gereğince tam metin erişime açılmıştır. Bu çalışmada SiO2-Na2O-P2O5-B2O3-CaO sistemine sahip biyoaktif cam bileşimi temel alınmış ve stronsiyum katkısının biyoaktivite özelliklerine olan etkisi incelenmiştir. Dört farklı oranda (ağırlıkça % 0 , % 0.5, % 1, % 2) stronsiyum içeren biyoaktif cam bileşimleri ergitme yöntemi ile üretilmiştir. Camların fiziksel ve biyolojik özellikleri incelenmiş ve camlar daha sonra doku iskelesi üretimi için -45µm tane boyutuna sahip olacak şekilde öğütülerek toz haline getirilmiştir. Elde edilen biyoaktif cam tozlarından polimer sünger kopyalama tekniği kullanılarak doku iskelesi üretimi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Doku iskeleleri biyoaktivite analizleri için belirli sürelerle (1, 7, 14 ve 28 gün) yapay vücut sıvısı içerisinde bekletilmeleri sonrası yüzey karakterizasyonları ve biyoaktivite analizleri XRD, SEM ve EDS analizi kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar stronsiyum ilavesinin biyoaktivite özelliklerini olumlu yönde arttırdığını doğrularken, ilave edilen stronsiyum oranları ile biyoaktivite arasında net bir ilişki bulunamamıştır. In the current study, the effect of strontium addition on bioactivity properties was investigated by using SiO2-Na2O-P2O5-B2O3-CaO glass composition. Four different glass compositions having 0-0.5-1-2 wt.% strontium were produced with melting process. Physical and biological properties of glass were studied and then these glasses were grinded size of -45 µm to produce tissue scaffold. These were produced from the obtained bioactive glass powders by polymer sponge copying technique. Tissue scaffolds were incubated in artificial body fluid for a period of time (1, 7, 14 and 28 days) for bioactivity analysis and surface characterizations and bioactivity analyzes were performed using XRD, SEM and EDS analysis. The results approved the positive effect of strontium addition on bioactivity properties there was no clear relationship between added strontium ratios and bioactivity.

Embriyonik aortik arklar (AA), büyük ölçekli vasküler morfogeneze ve yeniden şekillenmeye maruz kalan, bilateral olan çifte yerleşimli damarlardır. Hemodinamik ve büyümeyle ilişkili AA adaptasyonundaki başarısızlık, bir dizi konjenital kalp hastalığı (KKH) anatomisine neden olur. KKH etiyolojisini anlamak için bu damarların genetik öğeleri arasındaki düzenleyici mekanizmaları ve çapraz etkileşimi tanımlamak ve prediktif hesaplama modellerini arıtmak için bu bilgiyi birleştirmek kritik önem taşır. Önceki çalışmamızda, tavuk embriyonik AA'nın damar çapı ve duvar kesme gerilimi (WSS) değerleri açısından üç boyutlu hızlandırılmış büyüme verilerini yeniden yapılandırdık. Mevcut çalışma, tavuk embriyosunda Hamburger & Hamilton Evreleri (HH) 18, 21 ve 24'te AA'daki temel biyolojik yolların ekspresyon profillerini taramak ve bu verileri önceki vasküler büyüme ve mekanik yükleme sonuçlarımız ile ilişkilendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. RT-qPCR, anjiogenezis, kardiyovasküler gelişme ve sol ve sağ lateral arkuslar için yapısal ve apoptoz ile ilgili genler için gerçekleştirildi. İlişkili genlerin davranış ve aktivasyon periyotlarını karşılaştırmak için korelasyon ve yeni zirve ekspresyon analizi yapıldı. Kullanılabilir protein ağları, moleküller arasındaki etkileşimleri araştırmak ve gelecekteki hesaplama tahminlerinde kullanılabilecek büyük hiyerarşileri vurgulamak için zamana göre çözümlenmiş verilerle entegre edildi. Bu analizlere dayanarak, WSS ve çaptaki değişikliklerle bağlantılı iki tip ekspresyon trendi tespit edildi. Aortik arkların erken dönemde sol / sağ olarak biçimlendirilmesine katkı sağlayabilecek genetik aktivitenin düzenlenmesinde WSS'nin önemli bir etkisi olduğu gözlemlendi. WSS'nin etkisi, doğrudan TGFβ2 dışındaki anjiyojenezle ilişkili genlerin yanı sıra hücre dışı matris, sitoskeleton ve apoptoz ile ilişkili genler üzerinde görüldü. Zamana göre çözümlenmiş ağımız, WSS ile ilişkili genlerin, VEGF, FGF8 ve TGFβ2 gibi kritik büyüme faktörlerinin aktivitesini koordine ettiğini gösterdi. Dahası, sol ve sağ AA'nın gen ekspresyonundaki farklılıklar, AA'nın daha sonraki asimetrik morfogenezinin bir göstergesi olabilir. Bu bulgular, kardiyak morfogenezin karmaşık süreçleri ve KKH'na neden olan sorunlar hakkındaki anlayışımızı daha da ilerletebilir. Embryonic aortic arches (AA) are bilaterally paired, transitional vessels that are subjected to large-scale vascular morphogenesis and remodeling. Failures in AA patterning based on hemodynamic and growth-related adaptations cause a spectrum of congenital heart disease (CHD) anatomies. It is critical to identify regulatory mechanisms and cross-talk between the genetic elements of these vessels to understand the etiology of CHD and incorporate this information to refine predictive computational models. In our previous work, we reconstructed the three-dimensional (3D) time-lapsed growth data of chick AA in terms of vessel diameter and wall shear stress (WSS) values. The current study aims to screen expression profiles of fundamental biological pathways in the AA at early embryonic Hamburger & Hamilton Stages (HH) of 18, 21 and 24 in the chick embryo, and correlate these data with our previous vascular growth and mechanical loading results. RT-qPCR was performed for angiogenesis, cardiovascular development, and structural and apoptosis-related genes for the left and right lateral arches. Correlation and novel peak expression analysis were conducted in order to compare the behavior and activation period of the associated genes. Available protein networks were integrated with our time-resolved data to investigate the interactions between molecules and highlight major hierarchies to be used in future computational predictions. Based on these analyses, two types of expression patterns, correlated to changes in WSS and diameter, were detected. It was observed that the WSS has a major effect in the regulation of genetic activity, which may contribute to the early left/right patterning of aortic arches. Effect of WSS was seen directly on angiogenesis-related genes other than TGFβ2 as well as extracellular matrix, cytoskeleton and apoptosis-related genes. Our time-resolved network demonstrated that genes correlated with the WSS coordinate the activity of critical growth factors such as VEGF, FGF8 and TGFβ2. Moreover, differences in the gene expression of left and right AA might be an indicator of later asymmetric morphogenesis of the AA. These findings may further our understanding of the complex processes of cardiac morphogenesis and errors that result in CHD. 77

- Abstract
In the embryonic heart, blood flow is distributed through a bilaterally paired artery system composed of the aortic arches (AAs). The purpose of this study is to establish an understanding of the governing mechanism of microstructural maturation of the AA matrix and its reversibility, toward the desired macroscopic vessel lumen diameter and thickness for healthy, abnormal, and in ovo repaired abnormal mechanical loading. While matrix-remodeling mechanisms were significantly different for normal versus conotruncal banding (CTB), both led to an increase in vessel lumen. Correlated with right-sided flow increase at Hamburger & Hamilton stages 21, intermittent load switching between collagen I and III with elastin and collagen-IV defines the normal process. However, decreases in collagen I, elastin, vascular endothelial growth factor-A, and fibrillin-1 in CTB were recovered almost fully following the CTB-release model, primarily because of the pressure load changes. The complex temporal changes in matrix proteins are illustrated through a predictive finite-element model based on elastin and collagen load-sharing mechanism to achieve lumen area increase and thickness increase resulting from wall shear stress and tissue strain, respectively. The effect of embryonic timing in cardiac interventions on AA microstructure was established where abnormal mechanical loading was selectively restored at the key stage of development. Recovery of the normal mechanical loading via early fetal intervention resulted in delayed microstructural maturation. Temporal elastin increase, correlated with wall shear stress, is required for continuous lumen area growth. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The present study undertakes comparative analyses of the mechanistic differences of the arterial matrix microstructure and dynamics in the three fundamental processes of control, conotruncal banded, and released conotruncal band in avian embryo. Among other findings, this study provides specific evidence on the restorative role of elastin during the early lumen growth process. During vascular development, a novel intermittent load-switching mechanism between elastin and collagen, triggered by a step increase in wall shear stress, governs the chronic vessel lumen cross-sectional area increase. Mimicking the fetal cardiovascular interventions currently performed in humans, the early release of the abnormal mechanical load rescues the arterial microstructure with time lag.
