Abstract
Proper placental vascularization is vital for pregnancy outcomes, but assessing it with animal models and human explants has limitations. Here, we present a 3D in vitro model of human placenta terminal villi that includes fetal mesenchyme and vascular endothelium. By co-culturing HUVEC, placental fibroblasts, and pericytes in a macro-fluidic chip with a flow reservoir, we generate fully perfusable fetal microvessels. Pressure-driven flow is crucial for the growth and remodeling of these microvessels, resulting in early formation of interconnected placental-like vascular networks and maintained longevity. Computational fluid dynamics simulations predict shear forces, which increase microtissue stiffness, decrease diffusivity and enhance barrier function as shear stress rises. Mass-spec analysis reveals the deposition of numerous extracellular proteins, with flow notably enhancing the expression of matrix stability regulators, proteins associated with actin dynamics, and cytoskeleton organization. Our model provides a powerful tool for deducing complex in vivo parameters, such as shear stress on developing vascularized placental tissue, and holds promise for unraveling gestational disorders related to the vasculature.

Mass spectrometric characterization of matrix derived proteins
Tryptic digestion of hydrogel/tissue samples for their for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis was performed at day 7 after seeding as described by L.A. Sawicki et al. [1]. Two experiments were conducted, with each experiment having ≥ 2 replicates per static- or flow-conditioned devices. Samples were first decellularized to remove cellular structures and protein contribution. Gels were then dissolved and lyophilized samples were reconstituted as in [1]. Digested samples were concentrated to remove trypsin and collagenase. Mixed peptides were subjected to a reverse phase clean-up step. Peptides were subjected to a reverse phase clean-up step prior their analysis by LC-MS/MS on an Orbitrap Fusion Lumos mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific).
Peptides were separated using an Ultimate 3000 nano RSLC system and loaded onto the trap column at 30 µl per min over 2 h at 0.3 µl per min. The Orbitrap Fusion Lumos was operated in positive ion mode with a spray voltage of 2.2 kV and capillary temperature of 275° C. Full scan MS spectra with a mass range of 375–1.500 m/z were acquired in profile mode using a resolution of 120.000 with a maximum injection time of 50 ms, AGC operated in standard mode and a RF lens setting of 30%. Fragmentation was triggered for 3 s cycle time for peptide like features with charge states of 2–7 on the MS scan (data-dependent acquisition). Precursors were isolated using the quadrupole with a window of 0.7 m/z and fragmented with a normalized collision energy of 34%. Fragment mass spectra were acquired in profile mode and a resolution of 30,000. Maximum injection time was set to 94 ms and AGC target to custom. The dynamic exclusion was set to 60 s.
Acquired data were analyzed using FragPipe [2] and a Uniprot Homo sapiens database (UP000005640, ID9606 with 20594 entries, October 26th 2022) including common contaminants. The following modifications were considered: Carbamidomethyl (C, fixed), TMT18plex (K, fixed), Acetyl (N-term, variable), Oxidation (M, variable) and TMT18plex (N-term, variable). The mass error tolerance for full scan MS spectra was set to 10 ppm and for MS/MS spectra to 0.02 Da. A maximum of 2 missed cleavages were allowed. A minimum of 2 unique peptides with a peptide length of at least seven amino acids and a false discovery rate below 0.01 were required on the peptide and protein level [3].
MS data processing (for those shown in the manuscipt)
Raw output files of FragPipe (protein.tsv – files*,* [2]) were processed using the R programming language. Contaminants were filtered out and only proteins that were quantified with at least two unique peptides were considered for the analysis. 333 proteins passed the quality control filters. Log2 transformed raw TMT reporter ion intensities were first cleaned for batch effects using the ‘removeBatchEffects’ function of the limma package [4] and further normalized using the vsn package (variance stabilization normalization, [5]). Proteins were tested for differential expression using the limma package. The replicate information was added as a factor in the design matrix given as an argument to the ‘lmFit’ function of limma. A protein was annotated as a hit with a false discovery rate (fdr) smaller than 5 % and a fold-change of at least 30 % and as a candidate with a fdr below 5 % with no fold-change threshold. Hit and candidate proteins were clustered into 2 clusters (method kmeans) based on the Euclidean distance between normalized TMT intensities divided by the 0 mm H2O data point.
