AIBP-mediated cholesterol efflux instructs hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell fate.

ABSTRACT: Hypercholesterolemia, the driving force of atherosclerosis, accelerates the expansion and mobilization of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). The molecular determinants connecting hypercholesterolemia with hematopoiesis are unclear. Here, we report that a somite-derived prohematopoietic cue, AIBP, orchestrates HSPC emergence from the hemogenic endothelium, a type of specialized endothelium manifesting hematopoietic potential. Mechanistically, AIBP-mediated cholesterol efflux activates endothelial Srebp2, the master transcription factor for cholesterol biosynthesis, which in turn transactivates Notch and promotes HSPC emergence. Srebp2 inhibition impairs hypercholesterolemia-induced HSPC expansion. Srebp2 activation and Notch up-regulation are associated with HSPC expansion in hypercholesterolemic human subjects. Genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq), RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) indicate that Srebp2 transregulates Notch pathway genes required for hematopoiesis. Our studies outline an AIBP-regulated Srebp2-dependent paradigm for HSPC emergence in development and HPSC expansion in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Project description:BackgroundThe roles played by cholesterol in cancer development and progression represent a popular field in the cancer community. High cholesterol levels are positively correlated with the risk of various types of cancer. APOA-I binding protein (AIBP) promotes the reverse cholesterol transport pathway (RCT) in cooperation with Apolipoprotein A-I (APOA-I) or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, the combined effect of AIBP and APOA-I on intestinal tumor cells is still unclear.MethodsImmunohistochemistry, western blot and qPCR were performed to investigate the expression of AIBP and APOA-I in intestinal tumor tissues and cell lines. The anti-tumor activity of AIBP and APOA-I was evaluated by overexpression or recombinant protein treatment. Cholesterol efflux and localization of lipid raft-related proteins were analyzed by a cholesterol efflux assay and lipid raft fraction assay, respectively.ResultsHere, we reported that both AIBP expression and APOA-I expression were associated with the degree of malignancy in intestinal tumors. Co-overexpression of AIBP and APOA-I more potently inhibited colon cancer cell-mediated tumor growth and metastasis compared to overexpression of each protein individually. Additionally, the recombinant fusion proteins of AIBP and APOA-I exhibited a significant therapeutic effect on tumor growth in Apcmin/+ mice as an inherited intestinal tumor model. The synergistic effect of the two proteins inhibited colon cancer cell migration, invasion and tumor-induced angiogenesis by promoting cholesterol efflux, reducing the membrane raft content, and eventually disrupting the proper localization of migration- and invasion-related proteins on the membrane raft. Moreover, cyclosporine A, a cholesterol efflux inhibitor, rescued the inhibitory effect induced by the combination of AIBP and APOA-I.ConclusionsThese results indicate that the combination of APOA-I and AIBP has an obvious anticancer effect on colorectal cancer by promoting cholesterol efflux.
