Infantile hemangioma-derived stem cells and endothelial cells are inhibited by class 3 semaphorins.

ABSTRACT: Class 3 semaphorins were discovered as a family of axon guidance molecules, but are now known to be involved in diverse biologic processes. In this study, we investigated the anti-angiogenic potential of SEMA3E and SEMA3F (SEMA3E&F) in infantile hemangioma (IH). IH is a common vascular tumor that involves both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. Our lab has identified and isolated hemangioma stem cells (HemSC), glucose transporter 1 positive (GLUT1(+)) endothelial cells (designated as GLUT1(sel) cells) based on anti-GLUT1 magnetic beads selection and GLUT1-negative endothelial cells (named HemEC). We have shown that these types of cells play important roles in hemangiogenesis. We report here that SEMA3E inhibited HemEC migration and proliferation while SEMA3F was able to suppress the migration and proliferation in all three types of cells. Confocal microscopy showed that stress fibers in HemEC were reduced by SEMA3E&F and that stress fibers in HemSC were decreased by SEMA3F, which led to cytoskeletal collapse and loss of cell motility in both cell types. Additionally, SEMA3E&F were able to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced sprouts in all three types of cells. Further, SEMA3E&F reduced the level of p-VEGFR2 and its downstream p-ERK in HemEC. These results demonstrate that SEMA3E&F inhibit IH cell proliferation and suppress the angiogenic activities of migration and sprout formation. SEMA3E&F may have therapeutic potential to treat or prevent growth of highly proliferative IH.

Project description:Background Propranolol is a first-line clinical drug for infantile haemangiomas (IH) therapy. Nevertheless, resistance to propranolol is observed in some patients with IH. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) has been increasingly reported to act as a pivotal regulator in tumor progression. However, the underlying mechanism of circRNAs in IH remains unclear. Methods Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect Circ_0000915, miR-890 and RNF187 expression. Protein levels were determined using western blot. CCK-8 assay was used to measure cell proliferation. Caspase-3 activity assay and flow cytometry were conducted to determine cell apoptosis. Luciferase reporter assay was carried out to assess the interaction between miR-890 and Circ_0000915 or RNF187. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay was performed to detect the interaction between STAT3 and Circ_0000915 promoter. Biotin pull-down assay was used to detect the direct interaction between miR-890 and Circ_0000915. In vivo experiments were performed to measure tumor formation. Results Here, we discovered depletion of Circ_0000915 increased propranolol sensitivity of haemangioma derived stem cells (HemSCs) both in vitro and in vivo, whereas forced expression of Circ_0000915 exhibited opposite effects. Mechanistically, Circ_0000915, transcriptionally induced by IL-6/STAT3 pathway, competed with RNF187 for the biding site in miR-890, led to upregulation of RNF187 by acting as a miR-890 “sponge”. Furthermore, silence of miR-890 reversed increased propranolol sensitivity of HemSCs due to Circ_0000915 ablation. Moreover, increased Circ_0000915 and RNF187 levels were observed in IH tissues and positively associated with propranolol resistance, miR-890 exhibited an inverse expression pattern. Conclusion We thereby uncover the activation of IL-6/STAT3/Circ_0000915/miR-890/RNF187 axis in propranolol resistance of IH, and provide therapeutic implications for patients of IH with propranolol resistance.
