Thesis (Ph. D.)--Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, 2008.<br>Includes bibliographical references.<br>At the present time, there are many hurdles to overcome in order to create a long-lasting and engineered tissue for tissue transplant in patients. The challenges include the isolation and expansion of appropriate cells, the arrangement of assorted cells into correct spatial organization, and the development of proper growth conditions. Furthermore, the creation of a three dimensional engineered tissue is limited by the fact that tissue assemblies greater than 100-200 microm

Abstract:

Dilation of blood vessels in response to a large number of agents has been shown to be dependent on an intact vascular endothelium. The present studies examine some aspects of endothelium-dependent vasodilation in blood vessels of the rabbit and rat. Using the rabbit ear artery and the subtype-selective muscarinic antagonist pirenzepine, muscarinic receptors of the endothelium and smooth muscle cells were shown to be of the low affinity M₂ subtype. Inhibition of [³H](-)quinuclidinyl benzilate was used to determine affinity for the smooth muscle receptors while antagonism of methacholine induce

Abstract:

The engineering of human vascular grafts is an intense area of study since there is crucial need for alternatives to native vein or artery for vascular surgery. This current study sought to prove that a tissue engineered blood vessel (TEBV) 1mm in diameter could be developed from human smooth muscle cells and that endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) could be cultured and used to endothelialize these grafts. This project had four specific aims: the isolation and characterization of EPCs, the seeding of a novel scaffold with EPCs and exposure to physiologic shear stress in vitro, the development

Abstract:

NKX2-5 is a transcription factor required for the formation of the heart and vessels during development. Postnatal expression is significantly downregulated, and then re-activated in diseased conditions characterised by vascular remodelling. However, the mechanisms regulating NKX2-5 activation in diseased vessels remain unknown. The aim of this thesis is to identify these mechanisms and provide information on how the gene contributes to cardiovascular pathologies, such as sclerodermaassociated pulmonary hypertension. A case-control genetic association study was performed in two independent coh

Abstract:

The diagnosis of vascular diseases can be achieved with a suitably determined circumferential stress at arterial walls. The stress distribution over arterial walls in blood vessels is affected by residual stresses and stresses due to blood pressure. However, residual stresses are still not reliably determined. For this reason, a suitable incorporation of these stresses is required in order to establish the wall stress as a reliable diagnostic indicator. Thus this study aims to model residual stresses by incorporating them into the wall stress distribution, and to investigate the effect that p

Abstract:

Blood is a dense suspension of flexible red blood cells. In response to a background flow, these cells distribute themselves non-uniformly throughout the vessel. As a result, material properties that are well defined in homogeneous fluids, such as viscosity, are no longer so, and depend upon the flow geometry along with the particle properties. Using a simple model that accounts for the steady-state particle distribution in vessel flow, we derive an expression for the effective viscosity of blood and the suspension flow velocity field in a pressure-driven tube flow. <br /><br /> We d

Abstract:

Throughout much of the blood circulatory system, supply vessels (arteries and arterioles) are situated adjacent to corresponding draining vessels (veins and venules), which flow in the opposite direction. In this dissertation, mathematical models are developed to describe diffusive exchange of heat, oxygen and inert gases between such paired countercurrent blood vessels and surrounding tissue. In preliminary analyses, exchange between a single vessel and surrounding tissue is considered. The concept of equilibration length is developed.

A treatment strategy for cancer is the suppression of tumor growth by directing an immune response to the tumor vessels, which will destroy the tissue. In this thesis we describe the development of a vaccine that targets antigens expressed around angiogenic vasculature in most solid tumors. These antigens are alternative spliced extra domains of glycoproteins present in the extracellular matrix; e.g. the extra domain-B (ED-B) and extra domain-A (ED-A) of fibronectin and the C-domain of tenascin-C (TNCC). We show that it is possible to break self-tolerance and induce a strong antibody response

Abstract:

Much less work has been done on the denervation of smooth muscle compared with the extensive studies carried out on skeletal muscle. It was thought that denervation of smooth muscle produced few alterations in its morphology or physiology, especially since many blood vessels have virtually no innervation, and therefore, they can survive without it. Simple severing or excising a section of nerve trunk is sufficient to denervate skeletal muscle, but this does not apply to smooth muscle. Therefore, denervation methods for smooth muscle have included those with widespread effects such as chemical

Abstract:

Tissue engineered blood vessels (TEBVs) have great potential as tools for disease modeling and drug screening. However, existing methods for fabricating TEBVs create homogenous tissue tubes, which may not be conducive to modeling focal vascular diseases such as intimal hyperplasia or aneurysm. In contrast, our lab has a unique modular system for fabricating TEBVs. Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are seeded into an annular agarose mold, where they aggregate into vascular tissue rings, which can be stacked and fused into small diameter TEBVs. Our goal is to create a platform technology that may be us

Angiogenesis, which results in a capillary network formation, is one of the crucial events that take place when there is tissue damage, being critical for successful tissue regeneration. It does not only allow the arrival of oxygen, nutrients and waste removal, but it also allows the arrival of progenitor cells necessary to induce tissue restoration. However, when there is an excessive damage, tissues are unable to regenerate by themselves. During the last decades, tissue engineering emerged as an alternative to improve tissue regeneration, with the combination of biomaterials (which serves as
