Project description:Branching from conduits is a defining feature of the gas delivery systems of invertebrates (tracheae built from epithelial cells) and vertebrates (vasculature lined by endothelial cells). Here, we show that the vertebrate transcriptional repressor Tel plays an evolutionarily conserved role in angiogenesis: it is indispensable for sprouting of primary human endothelial cells and for the normal development of the Danio rerio embryo blood circulatory system. Tel controls endothelial sprouting via binding to the generic co-repressor C-terminal binding protein (CtBP). In endothelial cells, the Tel:CtBP complex temporally restricts a VEGF-mediated pulse of dll4 expression and consequently integrates VEGFR intracellular signaling and intercellular Notch-Dll4 signaling. It further refines branching by regulating expression of other factors that constrain angiogenesis such as sprouty family members and ve-cadherin. Thus, the Tel:CtBP complex moderates the balance between positive and antagonistic angiogenesis cues and thereby conditions endothelial cells for angiogenesis. Since the activity of CtBP is attuned to intracellular NADH levels, our results raise the possibility that Tel-mediated sprouting could be sensitized to the metabolic status of the tissue. Tel control of branching appears to be evolutionarily conserved since Yan, the invertebrate orthologue of Tel, is similarly required for branching morphogenesis of the invertebrate tracheae. Collectively, our work suggests that Tel is a central regulator of angiogenesis and highlights Tel and its associated networks as potential targets for the development of therapeutic strategies to inhibit pathological angiogenesis. 2 independent screens were performed testing effects of knockdown of Tel or CtBP (screen 1) or effects of VEGF-A (screen 2) on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs). For screen 1 we tested 3 different conditions. We established stable HUVEC cell lines which were either infected with control lentivirus (Mock), or lentivirus expressing short hairpin RNA constructs for the specific knockdown of Tel(Teli) or CtBP2 (CtBP2i). Expression in the Teli and CtBP2i cell lines was compared to expression in the Mock cell line for screen 1. For screen 2 we tested 2 conditions. We exposed HUVECs to VEGF (50ng/mL) for 30 minutes (samplename: VEGF30) and compared the transcriptome of these cells to untreated HUVECs (VEGF0). For each condition 2 independent repeats were analyzed and expression of genes was averaged for each repeat. HUVECs were grown under standard conditions (37degrees Celsius, 5% CO2) in EGM2 medium (Lonza).

Project description:Abstract Von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a multimeric hemostatic protein primarily synthesized in endothelial cells (ECs). VWF is stored in endothelial storage organelles, the Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs), whose biogenesis strongly depends on VWF anterograde trafficking and Golgi architecture. Elongated WPB morphology is correlated to longer VWF strings with better adhesive properties. We previously identified the SNARE SEC22B, which is involved in anterograde ER-to-Golgi transport, as a novel regulator of WPB elongation. To elucidate novel determinants of WPB morphology we explored endothelial SEC22B interaction partners in a mass spectrometry-based approach, identifying the Golgi SNARE Syntaxin 5 (STX5). We established STX5 knockdown in ECs using shRNA-dependent silencing and analyzed WPB and Golgi morphology, using confocal and electron microscopy. STX5-depleted ECs exhibited extensive Golgi fragmentation and decreased WPB length, which was associated with reduced intracellular VWF levels, and impaired stimulated VWF secretion. However, the secretion incompetent organelles in shSTX5 cells maintained WPB markers such as Angiopoietin 2, P-selectin, Rab27A, and CD63. Taken together, our study has identified SNARE protein STX5 as a novel regulator of WPB biogenesis

Project description:Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) were isolated from umbilical chords by collagenase digestion and cultured to passage 3. HUVECs were pre-activated for 4 hours with TNF-alpha (10ng/ml), followed by rHDL (0.1 and 1mg/ml) treatment for a further 8 hours. RNA isolated and labeled using the Illumina total prep RNA amplification kit and analysed using the Illumina sentrix beadchip microarray HT-12 (n=3 per treatment)

Project description:The aim of this study is to determine the molecular mechanism by which indoxyl sulfate acts on endothelial cells. Endothelial cells (HUVECs) were incubated with medium containing indoxyl sulfate at concentration found in chronic kidney disease patients (1mM). Since indoxyl sulfate is a potassium salt, control medium contains KCl at 1mM. Cells were incubated during four hours in presence of indoxyl sulfate or KCl. Seven biological replicates were obtained for these two conditions. To understand how uremic solutes participate in endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular complications of chronic kidney disease patients

Project description:The plasma multimeric glycoprotein von Willebrand factor (VWF) plays a critical role in primary hemostasis by tethering platelets to exposed collagen at sites of vascular injury. Recent studies have identified additional biological roles for VWF, and in particular suggest that VWF may play an important role in regulating inflammatory responses. Critically however, the molecular mechanisms through which VWF exerts its immuno-modulatory effects remains poorly understood. In this study, we report for the first time that VWF binding to macrophages triggers direct downstream MAPkinase signaling leading to NF-kB activation and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. In keeping with these observations, VWF binding also promotes macrophage M1 polarization and shifts macrophage metabolism towards glycolysis in a p38 dependent manner. Cumulatively, our findings define an entirely new biological role for VWF in modulating macrophage function, and thereby establish a novel link between primary hemostasis and innate immunity.

Project description:Constitutive VWF secretion can be increased by a range of factors; changes in VWF expression, levels of TNF-alpha or other environmental cues. An RNAseq analysis revealed that expression of RGS4 (Regulator of G protein signalling 4) was reduced in endothelial cells (HUVECs) grown under these conditions. si-RGS4 treatment of HUVECs increased constitutive basolateral secretion of VWF, probably by affecting the anterograde secretory pathway. In a simple model of endothelial damage we show that RGS4-silenced cells increased platelet recruitment onto the subendothelial matrix under flow. These results show that changes in RGS4 expression alter levels of subendothelial VWF, affecting platelet recruitment. This introduces a novel control over VWF function.

Project description:Endothelial cells store von Willebrand factor (VWF) in rod-shaped secretory organelles, called Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs). WPB exocytosis is coordinated by a complex network of Rab GTPases, Rab-effectors and SNARE proteins. We have previously identified STXBP1 as the link between the Rab27A-Slp4-a complex on WPBs and the SNARE proteins syntaxin-2 and -3. In this study we investigate the function of syntaxin-3 in VWF secretion. In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and in blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs) from healthy controls endogenous syntaxin-3 immunolocalized to WPBs. A detailed analysis of BOECs isolated from a patient with variant microvillus inclusion disease (MVID), carrying a homozygous mutation in STX3 (STX3-/-), showed a loss of syntaxin-3 protein and absence of WPB-associated syntaxin-3 immunoreactivity. Ultrastructural analysis revealed no detectable differences in morphology or prevalence of immature or mature WPBs in control versus STX3-/- BOECs. VWF multimer analysis showed normal patterns in plasma of the MVID patient, and media from STX3-/- BOECs, together indicating WPB formation and maturation are unaffected by absence of syntaxin-3. However, a clear defect in Ca2+ and cAMP-mediated VWF secretion was found in the STX3-/- BOECs. Co-immunoprecipitation studies showed that syntaxin-3 associates with the WPB SNAREs SNAP23 and VAMP8. Our data reveal syntaxin-3 as a novel WPB-associated SNARE controlling VWF secretion and highlight the complex regulation of WPB exocytosis by multiple SNARE complexes.
