1 doi: /nature09513 Supplementary Discussion Time course of CNS vascular development The timing of endothelial cell entry into the rat cerebral cortex and pericyte recruitment are further demonstrated in Supplementary Figure 1. In this figure pericytes are labeled with an antibody directed against Ng2. Ng2 is expressed both in pericytes and OPCs, but here we analyze early embryonic time points from E11-E17 prior to OPC generation at E19 (Fig. 1C), therefore all Ng2 + cells are pericytes. Endothelial cells are first observed on the cortical surface at E11 in a caudal to rostral gradient (Supplementary Fig. 1A-B). Ng2 + cells are also observed on the cortical surface in a similar gradient (Supplementary Fig. 1A-B). Endothelial cells also enter the cortex in a caudal-rostral gradient starting at E12, and these initial sprouts into the CNS are not covered by pericytes (Supplementary Fig. 1C-D). Pericytes are soon recruited to the nascent vessels and are observed to be coating the vessels by E13 and this process continues as vessels continue to be generated (Supplementary Fig. 1E-F). Pericyte cell bodies are closely associated with the endothelial cells, and have processes forming all around the endothelial cells (Supplementary Fig. 1G) Time course of BBB development We further examined the time course of Glut1 and ZO-1 expression in the developing rat cerebral cortex (Supplementary Fig. 3, 4). At E11-12, when endothelial cells are associated with the cortical surface, but have yet to dive into the cortex, the developing neural tissue expresses Glut1 throughout all cells (Supplementary Fig. 3A-C). As endothelial cells enter the cortex, the expression of Glut1 is quickly restricted to the endothelial cells, and lost from the developing neural tissue (Supplementary Fig. 3D-F). Glut1 is expressed in the earliest cells that invade the CNS (Supplementary Fig. 3D). At E11-E12 the tight junction protein ZO-1 is expressed in the epithelial cells in the ependymal layer of the developing cortex (Supplementary Fig. 4A-B). At E12, endothelial cells express ZO-1 as they begin to invade the cortex (Supplementary Fig. 4B). At this early developmental time point ZO-1 staining is patchy throughout the endothelial cell, and then is observed to form complete rings around the cell borders at E15 (Supplementary Fig. 4D). This is consistent with electron microscopy studies which suggest that ultrastructural tight junctions in CNS endothelial cells gain complexity through development 1. Our data also demonstrated that genes associated with increased permeability, including Plvap (transcytosis) and Icam1 (leukocyte adhesion) are initially expressed in endothelial cells as they enter the cerebral cortex, but are down-regulated during development (Supplementary Fig. 7). This is consistent with ultrastructural work which has demonstrated that pinocytotic vesicles are significantly down-regulated during embryonic mouse development 2, and correlates with the pericyte coverage of the vessels. Interestingly, several studies suggest that there may be species specific differences in BBB development. For example, elegant studies in the opossum, a marsupial which is born prior to vascularization of the cerebral cortex, have demonstrated a tight barrier as soon as vessels enter the cortex 3. Furthermore, studies of plasma protein localization in human brain samples also have suggested that the BBB is present at early stages of brain development 4. This is in contrast with data which suggests that fenestrated vessels are present in the developing rodent brain. Our studies, however, suggest that barrier properties are present in rat and mouse vessels as soon as they enter the cerebral cortex, similar to that of humans and opossums. Perhaps a leaky BBB is not conducive to neural development. 1
2 Time Course of Glial Cell Development We have demonstrated that in the rat cerebral cortex OPC generation begins at E18 and astrocyte generation starts at birth. This corresponds with existing literature in which it has been observed that neural stem cells produce neurons and glia in a defined order: first neurons, then oligodendrocyte lineage cells, and then astrocytes 5,6. Furthermore, our work corresponds with existing literature which suggests that astrocytes extend elaborate cellular processes during the first few postnatal weeks that contact both neurons and vessels 5. The fact that we observe BBB properties prior to astrocyte generation suggests that astrocytes cannot be the cell type that induces BBB properties during embryogenesis. Interestingly, there is a striking up-regulation of Pgp that corresponds with astrocyte generation and ensheathment of vessels. Indeed, astrocytes have been demonstrated to induce Pgp expression in endothelial cells 7. Furthermore, there is an increase in trans-endothelial cell electrical resistance during postnatal development in vivo, suggesting that astrocytes may be key to the maturation of the BBB during postnatal development 8. In addition, although we observed tracer leakage in Pdgfrb F7/- and Pdgfrb F7/F7 neonatal mice, no tracer leakage was observed in the adults of these genotypes (data not shown), suggesting that astrocytes can further strengthen the barrier after they ensheath the vessels. A role for astrocytes dynamically regulating the BBB in response to blood contents, neuronal activity and disease remains very likely. Pericyte Coverage in Pdgfrb +/+ and Pdgfrb +/- mice We examined the pericyte coverage of CNS vessels in the cortex of Pdgfrb +/+ and Pdgfrb +/- mice (Supplementary Fig. 8) by Zic1 staining for pericyte nuclei, desmin staining for pericyte cytoskeleton, and Ng2 staining for pericyte cell surface. Tallquist et al 9 have identified that there was a decrease in pericyte number in Pdgfrb +/- mice. By Zic1 staining we also identified that there was a small decrease in pericyte number, however, we have identified that there is comparable coverage of the vascular tubes by Ng2+,desmin+ pericyte processes in both Pdgfrb +/+ and Pdgfrb +/- mice. This suggests that with a small decrease in pericyte number, the remaining pericytes can cover the vasculature to comparable levels. We further demonstrated that there was no difference in the vascular permeability of Pdgfrb +/+ and Pdgfrb +/- mice (Supplementary Fig. 8). Due to the comparable pericyte coverage and vascular permeability, we have combined both Pdgfrb +/+ and Pdgfrb +/- mice as littermate controls for Pdgfrb -/- mice Vascular Permeability in Pdgfrb -/- mice Here we have identified an increase in vascular permeability in Pdgfrb -/- mice that lack CNS pericytes. Hellstrom et al identified that pericyte-deficient mice have increased VEGFA expression, which suggests that the increased permeability may be due to systemic effects of VEGF or other inflammatory molecules including cytokines, and not direct signaling between endothelial cells and pericytes 10. On the other hand, our data demonstrates that co-culture of CNS pericytes with endothelial cells is sufficient to induce BBB properties in CNS endothelial cells, including increased tight junction resistance and inhibition of Icam1 and Angpt2 expression. Therefore, the increased vascular permeability observed in 2
3 the pericyte-deficient mice may be due to a combination of systemic metabolic differences and direct pericyte-endothelial cell signaling. Whereas Hellstrom et al did not analyze BBB function in the Pdgfrb -/- mice, they did demonstrate an increase in membrane folding and vesicular trafficking that was similar to our results. They further demonstrated an increase in caveolin-1 and a redistribution of occludin strands in the Pdgfrb -/- mice 10. We did not observe these defects in our analysis of Pdgfrb -/- mice, which suggests that other factors may influence vascular permeability in these mice including strain and environmental conditions. Interestingly, we observed heterogeneity in Gr1+ leukocyte infiltration in different Pdgfrb F7/F7 mice suggesting that additional environmental factors may be important for leukocyte infiltration, in addition to the increase in Icam1 expression in endothelial cells. Hellstrom et al also identified an increase in Glut1 and Pgp expression in the Pdgfb -/- mice, which lack the PDGF-B ligand and are also pericyte-deficient. They suggest that this may indicate metabolic stress 10. This paper did not analyze these genes in Pdgfrb -/- mice, and we did not observe an increase in either Glut1 or Pgp. This may also indicate strain or environmental differences, or perhaps that PDGF-B has more effects than just signaling through PDGFR-β. Identification of Pericyte-Derived Factors To determine the pericyte transcriptome we performed microarray analysis on mrna isolated from acutely purified CNS pericytes and compared these values to the microarray analysis performed on purified endothelial cells from the Pdgfrb -/- mice which completely lack pericytes. This analysis produced a dataset of pericyte-expressed molecules (Supplementary Table 2). Interestingly, pericytes express genes that are known to induce BBB properties including Angpt1 (as well as the homologous gene Angptl2), and Ace2 11,12. Ace2 is an enzyme involved in the processing of Agt to smaller peptides, which regulate BBB permeability 12. Several other interesting secreted molecules are expressed by endothelial cells, including Bmp5, nodal, netrin1, sema5a, as well as integrins and plexins. Furthermore, we have identified that pericytes express a number of extracellular matrix molecules, including collagens, laminins, vitronectin, asporin and others. We have further analyzed the protein expression of these ECM molecules in Pdgfrb -/- mice and littermate controls (Supplementary Fig. 11) and have identified that there are lower levels of collagens in Pdgfrb -/- mice, but strikingly an increase in vitronectin and MMP9. The altered composition of the endothelial ECM may be important in regulating BBB properties. Specifically, expression of MMP9 has been shown to lead to BBB breakdown in pathological conditions 13,

Prior to endothelial cell invasion into the cortex, ZO-1 is expressed specifically in epithelial cells in the ependymal cell layer (yellow arrows), and continues to be expressed in these cells throughout development and maturity (data not shown). As endothelial cells invade the cortex at E12, ZO-1 expression is patchy within endothelial cells (B -white arrows), and then is observed to form complete junctions by E15 (D -white arrows).

Pericytes are present in the Pdgfrb +/+ and Pdgfrb +/- mice but not the Pdgfrb -/-. Note that the intense desmin staining in the cortex of Pdgfrb -/- mice is due to the fact that the anti-desmin primary antibody is a mouse monoclonal, and therefore the staining is due to the fluorescently labeled goat anti-mouse secondary antibody binding to endogenous mouse antibody that has leaked into the brain.

Pericytes then strengthen the endothelial barrier during embryogenesis by regulating tight junction structure, limiting the rate of transcytosis, and inhibiting the expression of leukocyte adhesion molecules. Astrocytes further aid in regulating the function of the barrier during adulthood, injury and disease. 21
