  Oxidative stress promotes EndMT and has additive effects to TGF-β.(a) Representative dihydroethidium (DHE) microscopy images of thoracic aortic sections from tamoxifen-induced end.SclCreERT;R26RstopYfp;ApoE−/− mice after 8 versus 18 weeks HFD demonstrating in situ superoxide production. Analysis by one-way ANOVA; overall P<0.0001. (b) TUNEL assay on atherosclerotic lesions from tamoxifen-induced end.SclCreERT;R26RstopYfp;ApoE−/− mice after 8 versus 18 weeks HFD demonstrating apoptotic Yfp+ cells. For a and b: L=lumen; scale bars, 100 μm. Insets at higher magnification as indicated. Arrows indicate co-positive cells. Staining performed on at least three spatially separated thoracic aortic sections per mouse (n=5 mice per group). Control experiments from non-atherosclerotic mice shown in Supplementary Fig. 8. (c) Phase contrast microscopy of HUVECs grown in basal media (ctrl) or following exposure to TGF-β and/or H2O2 for 5 days. Scale bars, 100 μm. (d) Heatmap showing expression of endothelial genes (top), non-endothelial genes also downregulated in EndMT/EMT, genes known to be upregulated in EndMT/EMT and mesenchymal genes (bottom) for HUVECs exposed to control conditions (basal media—unstimulated), TGF-β or TGF-β plus 200 μM H2O2. Because there are no gene sets for ‘EndMT' or ‘fibroblast' in databases like GO, KEGG, Reactome or MSigDB, this gene list was compiled by extensive literature search (Supplementary Table 2). (e) FAP protein expression by western blot with quantification in HUVECs exposed to control (ctrl) conditions (unstimulated) or TGF-β, with and without H2O2 at 100 or 200 μM. FAP ladder (L) represents 100 kDa (upper) and 75 kDa (lower intense band). FAP expected molecular weight/size is 90 kDa. GAPDH ladder represents 37 kDa. GAPDH expected molecular weight/size is 37 kDa. (f) FAP RNA levels assessed by qRT-PCR under identical conditions. (g) CD31 protein by western blot with quantification. CD31 ladder (L) represents 150 kDa (upper) and 100 kDa (lower intense band). CD31 expected molecular weight/size is 130 kDa. GAPDH ladder represents 37 kDa. GAPDH expected molecular weight/size is 37 kDa. (h) CD31 RNA levels assessed by qRT-PCR is presented for HUVECs under identical conditions. Data in e–h analysed by two-way ANOVA with complete results in Supplementary Table 3. (i) Cell migration for unstimulated HUVECs versus after treatment with TGF-β only or TGF-β+200 μM H2O2 for 5 days. Analysis by one-way ANOVA; overall P=0.015. (j) Cell invasion for unstimulated HUVECs versus after treatment with TGF-β only or TGF-β+200 μM H2O2 for 5 days. Analysis by one-way ANOVA; overall P<0.0001. n=6–9 for qRT-PCR and 3–6 for western blots. Migration and invasion determined from three independent experiments with each experiment having n=3. NS, not significant, *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001.
