The exact mechanism of angiogenesis by europium hydroxide nanorods was unclear. In this study we have showed that formation of reactive oxygen species (H(2)O(2) and O(2)·-) is involved in redox signaling pathways during angiogenesis, important for cardiovascular and ischemic diseases. Here we used single-walled carbon nanotube sensor array to measure the single-molecule efflux of H(2)O(2) and a HPLC method for the determination of O(2)·- from endothelial cells in response to proangiogenic factor ...[more]

Project description:Introduction: Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is an accumulated protein-bound uremic toxin found in patients with kidney disease. Although it is known that IS impairs the vascular endothelium, the precise underlying mechanism remains unclear. Methods: We performed RNA sequencing in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) that were treated with either IS or control medium. Gene enrichment analyses were performed based on differentially expressed genes. We further examined the main enriched biological processes at the functional level. Results: We identified 1,293 genes that were affected in IS-treated HUVECs when compared to control and gene enrichment analysis indicated altered vascular formation and cell metabolism. We observed decreased viability and increased cell senescence due to IS treatment at the functional level. Furthermore, we demonstrated that IS exposure of HUVECs promoted angiogenesis as shown by the increase in total tubule length in a 3D HUVECs/pericytes co-culture assay. We also observed an increase in ROS production in IS-treated endothelial cells. Notably, the pro-angiogenic response of IS and the increased ROS production were abolished when CYP1B1, one of the main target genes that was upregulated by IS, was silenced. Conclusion: IS promotes angiogenesis and CYP1B1 is an important factor in IS-activated angiogenic response.

Project description:Indoxyl sulfate (IS) is an accumulative protein-bound uremic toxin found in patients with kidney disease. It is reported that IS impairs the vascular endothelium, but a comprehensive overview of all mechanisms active in IS-injury currently remains lacking. Here we performed RNA sequencing in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) after IS or control medium treatment and identified 1293 genes that were affected in a IS-induced response. Gene enrichment analysis highlighted pathways involved in altered vascular formation and cell metabolism. We confirmed these transcriptome profiles at the functional level by demonstrating decreased viability and increased cell senescence in response to IS treatment. In line with the additional pathways highlighted by the transcriptome analysis, we further could demonstrate that IS exposure of HUVECs promoted tubule formation as shown by the increase in total tubule length in a 3D HUVECs/pericytes co-culture assay. Notably, the pro-angiogenic response of IS and increased ROS production were abolished when CYP1B1, one of the main target genes that was highly upregulated by IS, was silenced. This observation indicates IS-induced ROS in endothelial cells is CYP1B1-dependent. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that IS promotes angiogenesis and CYP1B1 is an important factor in IS-activated angiogenic response.

Project description:For the first time, anisotropic gold nanorods (AuNRs) were embedded with a photosensitizer dye (crystal violet) in polyurethane (PU) matrix to create the effective antimicrobial film, capable of killing Gram-negative bacteria on its surface when exposed to white light. The dye, when activated with white light, interacts with the AuNRs to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which kill bacteria. With a proper control of the aspect ratio (2.1-2.4) and coating of the AuNRs, the film can be tuned to reduce the bacteria population of one to four orders of magnitude (1-log to 4-log) under 11 klux of light, for an exposure to light between 1 to 3 h. Particularly it could reduce 104 cfu/cm2 to the level of 1-5 cfu/cm2 in 3 h of light exposure. This was a desired performance for use on hospital surfaces. In addition, the system showed antimicrobial effect only when exposed to light, which eliminated the concern for a cumulative toxic effect on subjects exposed to the material for a long period of time and limited the time given to the bacteria to develop resistance against the system. Furthermore, this process of sterilization could be carried out by a commercially available white light lamp, which when in use did not interrupt the normal routine operation of the environment.

Project description:Glioblastoma is notorious for its rapid progression and neovascularization. In this study, it was found that KDEL (Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu) containing 2 (KDELC2) stimulated vasculogenic factor expression and induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation. The NLRP3 inflammasome and autophagy activation via hypoxic inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was also confirmed. The application of the NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor MCC950 and autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) indicated that the above phenomenon activation correlated with an endothelial overgrowth. Furthermore, KDELC2 suppression decreased the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress factors' expression. The ER stress inhibitors, such as salubrinal and GSK2606414, significantly suppressed HUVEC proliferation, indicating that ER stress promotes glioblastoma vascularization. Finally, shKDELC2 glioblastoma-conditioned medium (CM) stimulated TAM polarization and induced THP-1 cells to transform into M1 macrophages. In contrast, THP-1 cells co-cultured with compensatory overexpressed (OE)-KDELC2 glioblastoma cells increased IL-10 secretion, a biomarker of M2 macrophages. HUVECs co-cultured with shKDELC2 glioblastoma-polarized THP-1 cells were less proliferative, demonstrating that KDELC2 promotes angiogenesis. Mito-TEMPO and MCC950 increased caspase-1p20 and IL-1β expression in THP-1 macrophages, indicating that mitochondrial ROS and autophagy could also interrupt THP-1-M1 macrophage polarization. In conclusion, mitochondrial ROS, ER stress, and the TAMs resulting from OE-KDELC2 glioblastoma cells play important roles in upregulating glioblastoma angiogenesis.

Project description:Here, we highlight the potential translational benefits of delivering FLASH radiotherapy using ultra-high dose rates (>100 Gy⋅s-1). Compared with conventional dose-rate (CONV; 0.07-0.1 Gy⋅s-1) modalities, we showed that FLASH did not cause radiation-induced deficits in learning and memory in mice. Moreover, 6 months after exposure, CONV caused permanent alterations in neurocognitive end points, whereas FLASH did not induce behaviors characteristic of anxiety and depression and did not impair extinction memory. Mechanistic investigations showed that increasing the oxygen tension in the brain through carbogen breathing reversed the neuroprotective effects of FLASH, while radiochemical studies confirmed that FLASH produced lower levels of the toxic reactive oxygen species hydrogen peroxide. In addition, FLASH did not induce neuroinflammation, a process described as oxidative stress-dependent, and was also associated with a marked preservation of neuronal morphology and dendritic spine density. The remarkable normal tissue sparing afforded by FLASH may someday provide heretofore unrealized opportunities for dose escalation to the tumor bed, capabilities that promise to hasten the translation of this groundbreaking irradiation modality into clinical practice.

Project description:Near infrared (NIR)-absorbing noble metal nanostructures are being extensively studied as theranostic agents, in particular for photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy. Because of the electric field enhancement at the tips of anisotropic metal nanostructures, positioning photoactive species at these sites can lead to increased energy absorption. Herein, we show the site-specific placement of NIR-active photosensitizers at the ends of gold nanorods (AuNRs) by growing porous TiO2 caps. The surface plasmon resonance of the AuNRs was carefully tuned to overlap with the exciton absorption of indocyanine green (ICG), a NIR photosensitizer with low quantum yields and poor photostability. In conjugating high amounts of ICG to the TiO2 caps, increased amounts of singlet oxygen (1O2) were generated as compared to when ICG was attached to sidewalls of the AuNRs. Because the AuNRs also cause local increases in temperature upon NIR excitation, DNA strands were next attached to the AuNRs sidewalls and loaded with doxorubicin (DOX). We found that the synergistic effect of increased 1O2 and photothermal-induced drug delivery led to significant improvements in tumor cell killing. This work demonstrates that with careful design over hybrid nanostructure synthesis, higher levels of tumor therapy may be achieved.

Project description:Activation of Ras signalling occurs in ~30% of human cancers; however, activated Ras alone is not sufficient for tumourigenesis. In a screen for tumour suppressors that cooperate with oncogenic Ras (RasV12) in Drosophila, we identified genes involved in the autophagy pathway. Bioinformatic analysis of human tumours revealed that several core autophagy genes, including GABARAP, correlate with oncogenic KRAS mutations and poor prognosis in human pancreatic cancer, supporting a potential tumour-suppressive effect of the pathway in Ras-driven human cancers. In Drosophila, we demonstrate that blocking autophagy at any step of the pathway enhances RasV12-driven epithelial tissue overgrowth via the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and activation of the Jun kinase stress response pathway. Blocking autophagy in RasV12 clones also results in non-cell-autonomous effects with autophagy, cell proliferation and caspase activation induced in adjacent wild-type cells. Our study has implications for understanding the interplay between perturbations in Ras signalling and autophagy in tumourigenesis, which might inform the development of novel therapeutics targeting Ras-driven cancers.

Project description:UnlabelledThe widely used immunosuppressant cyclosporin A, a potent calcineurin inhibitor, significantly increases the incidence of cancer in organ transplant patients. Calcineurin signaling is an important mediator of VEGF signaling in endothelial cells. Negative regulation of calcineurin by its endogenous inhibitor, Down Syndrome Candidate Region-1 (DSCR1), suppresses tumor growth and angiogenesis, in contrast to the effect observed after long-term cyclosporin A treatment. Despite the significance of calcineurin signaling in endothelial cells, the consequences of cyclosporin A on tumor angiogenesis have not been investigated. Using an in vivo model of skin carcinogenesis, prolonged treatment with cyclosporin A promoted tumor growth and angiogenesis. The addition of cyclosporin A to endothelial cells in vitro increased proliferation and migration in a calcineurin-independent manner and is associated with increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS). Co-treatment with antioxidants significantly abrogated cyclosporin A-induced endothelial cell activation. Furthermore, mice treated with antioxidants were protected against cyclosporin A-mediated tumor progression. Taken together, these findings suggest that cyclosporin A affects endothelial cells in a calcineurin-independent manner to potentiate tumor growth by promoting tumor angiogenesis through increasing mitochondrial ROS production. This work identifies a previously undescribed mechanism underlying a significantly adverse off-target effect of cyclosporin A and suggests that co-treatment with antioxidants would inhibit the tumor-promoting effects of cyclosporin A.ImplicationsTargeting the proangiogenic effects of cyclosporin A may be useful in the management of transplant-associated cancers.

Project description:As a member of Sirtuins family, SIRT6 participates in the physiological and pathological progress of DNA repair, anti-aging, metabolism, and so on. Several studies have demonstrated that knockdown of SIRT6 inhibited the development of atherosclerosis (AS), indicated SIRT6 as a protective factor for AS. However, we confirmed SIRT6 was significantly overexpressed in human unstable carotid plaques compared with stable carotid plaques. This result indicated a more complex role of SIRT6 in AS. Furthermore, we constructed mice model with unstable carotid plaque and injected them with SIRT6 overexpressed adeno-associated virus (AAV-SIRT6). AAV-SIRT6 significantly promoted angiogenesis as well as hemorrhage in plaques. In vitro, we demonstrated overexpression of SIRT6 prevented HIF-1α from degradation by deubiquitination at K37 and K532 of HIF-1α, thus promoted the expression of HIF-1α under both normoxia and hypoxia in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Through regulating HIF-1α, overexpression of SIRT6 promoted invasion, migration, proliferation, as well as tube formation ability of HUVECs. Interestingly, under different conditions, SIRT6 played different roles in the function of HUVECs. Under oxidative stress, another important pathological environment for AS, SIRT6 bound to the promoter of Catalase, a main reactive oxygen species scavenger, and depleted H3K56 acetylation, thus inhibited expression and activity of Catalase at the transcriptional level. Subsequently, inhibited Catalase promoted reactive oxygen species (ROS) under oxidative stress. Accumulated ROS further aggravated oxidative stress injury of HUVECs. On one hand, SIRT6 promoted angiogenesis in plaque via HIF-1α under hypoxia. On the other hand, SIRT6 promoted injury of neovascular via ROS under oxidative stress. It is this process of continuous growth and damage that leads to hemorrhage in carotid plaque. In conclusion, we innovatively confirmed SIRT6 promoted the angiogenesis and IPH via promoting HIF-1α and ROS in different environments, thus disclosed the unknowing danger of SIRT6.

Project description:ObjectiveReactive oxygen species (ROS) act as signaling molecules during angiogenesis; however, the mechanisms used for such signaling events remain unclear. Stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) is one of the most potent angiogenic chemokines. Here, we examined the role of ROS in the regulation of SDF-1α-dependent angiogenesis.Approach and resultsBovine aortic endothelial cells were treated with SDF-1α, and intracellular ROS generation was monitored. SDF-1α treatment induced bovine aortic endothelial cell migration and ROS generation, with the majority of ROS generated by bovine aortic endothelial cells at the leading edge of the migratory cells. Antioxidants and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX) inhibitors blocked SDF-1α-induced endothelial migration. Furthermore, knockdown of either NOX5 or p22phox (a requisite subunit for NOX1/2/4 activation) significantly impaired endothelial motility and tube formation, suggesting that multiple NOXs regulate SDF-1α-dependent angiogenesis. Our previous study demonstrated that c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3 activity is essential for SDF-1α-dependent angiogenesis. Here, we identified that NOX5 is the dominant NOX required for SDF-1α-induced c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3 activation and that NOX5 and MAP kinase phosphatase 7 (MKP7; the c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3 phosphatase) associate with one another but decrease this interaction on SDF-1α treatment. Furthermore, MKP7 activity was inhibited by SDF-1α, and this inhibition was relieved by NOX5 knockdown, indicating that NOX5 promotes c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3 activation by blocking MKP7 activity.ConclusionsWe conclude that NOX is required for SDF-1α signaling and that intracellular redox balance is critical for SDF-1α-induced endothelial migration and angiogenesis.
