Project description:Endothelial cells (ECs) are phenotypically heterogeneous mainly due to their dynamic epigenetic status. VEGF, the best-known angiogenic factor, activates calcium-NFAT signalling following acute angiogenic gene transcription. Here, we evaluated the global mapping of VEGF-mediated dynamic transcriptional events with a particular focus on major histone-code profiles using ChIP-seq. Remarkably, the regulatory regions of angiogenic transcription factors exclusively acquired embryonic stem-like bivalent histone marks after the VEGF stimulus. Moreover, the newly discovered NFAT-associated epigenome modifier, PTIP in the COMPASS complex, directed gene transcription via MLL3/4-enrichment which overwhelmed the polycomb-brakes. The non-canonical polycomb1 variant, PRC1.3, specifically bound to and allowed the transactivation of PRC2-enriched bivalent angiogenic genes until conventional PRC1 association and gene silencing. Knockdown of these epigenome modifiers abrogated postnatal aberrant neovessel formation via selective inhibition of acute angiogenic bivalent gene transcription. Collectively, the reported dynamic epigenome landscape in ECs may support the development of advanced therapeutic strategies against various vasculopathies.

Project description:In order to identify new genes potentially involved in angiogenesis process, we performed a deep-sequencing transcriptome analysis of HUVECs stimulated with recombinant VEGF-A, introducing a difference with respect to the several previous studies. Primary ECs are normally cultured in vitro using an endothelial growth medium (EGM) constituted by an endothelial basal medium (EBM) supplemented with 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and a mix of growth factors and reagents, typically represented by basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF), Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF1), Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), heparin, hydrocortisone, ascorbic acid and the same VEGF-A. In previous studies, HUVECs or other primary ECs were starved in EBM with low FBS concentration before the stimulation with VEGF-A. Instead of starvation, we grown HUVECs in complete EGM-2 medium except for VEGF-A to maintain the best condition for in vitro survival and propagation of primary ECs. After 24 hours of VEGF-A deprivation, VEGF-A was re-added to the medium and the stimulation was performed for six hours.

Project description:Angiogenesis is tightly regulated by both soluble growth factors and cellular interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM). While cell adhesion via integrins has been shown to be required for growth factor signaling and downstream angiogenesis, the effects of quantitative changes in cell adhesion and spreading against the ECM remain less clear. Examining changes in global gene expression in limited versus high adhesion contexts in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, we demonstrated a VEGF-induced upregulation of genes associated with vascular invasion and remodeling when cell adhesion was restricted, whereas cells on highly adhesive surfaces upregulated genes associated with a proliferative response. HUVECs were cultured on micropatterned islands of fibronectin or allowed to spread fully for 2 hrs and then stimulated with 50ng/ml VEGF or no growth factor for 18 hrs in starve media. Sample RNA from three biological replicates was extracted and prepared for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Oxidation products of 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycerol-2-phosphatidylcholine (PAPC), referred to as OxPAPC, accumulate in atherosclerotic lesions and regulate over 1000 genes in human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC). We previously demonstrated that OxPAPC covalently binds to a number of proteins in HAEC. The goal of these studies was to gain insight into the binding mechanism and determine if binding regulates activity. In whole cells N-acetylcysteine inhibited gene regulation by OxPAPC, and blocking cell cysteines with N-ethylmaleimide strongly inhibited OxPAPC binding. Using MS, we demonstrate that most of the binding of OxPAPC to cysteine is mediated by PEIPC. We also show that OxPAPC binds to a model protein, H-Ras, at cysteines previously shown to regulate activity in response to 15dPGJ2. This binding was observed with recombinant protein and in cells overexpressing H-Ras. 15dPGJ2 and OxPAPC increased H-Ras activity at comparable concentrations. Using microarray analysis, we demonstrate a considerable overlap of gene regulation by OxPAPC and 15dPGJ2 in HAEC, suggesting that some effects attributed to 15dPGJ2 may also be regulated by OxPAPC since OxPAPC lipids and 15dPGJ2 both accumulate in inflammatory sites. Overall, we provide evidence for the importance of OxPAPC-cysteine interactions in regulating HAEC function. Control, OxPAPC, and 15dPGJ2-treated HAECs Samples. 'Control' is media (1%FBS, 99%M199)-only treated HAECs. 15dPGJ2 and OxPAPC are treated with those respective compounds in media.

Project description:Background: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are protective in atherosclerosis but reduced during disease progression due to cell death and loss of stability. However, the mechanisms of Treg dysfunction remain unknown. Oxidized phospholipids (oxPLs) are abundant in atherosclerosis and can activate innate immune cells, but little is known regarding their impact on T cells. Given Treg loss during atherosclerosis progression and oxPL levels in the plaque microenvironment, we investigated whether oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (oxPAPC), an oxPL associated with atherosclerotic plaques, alters Treg differentiation and function. Methods: CD4+ T cells were polarized to Treg, Th1, and Th17 cells with or without oxPAPC and assessed by flow cytometry. Gene expression in oxPAPC-treated Tregs was analyzed by bulk RNA sequencing. Functional studies of oxPAPC-induced Tregs were performed by co-culturing Tregs with CTV-labeled cells in vitro, and by adoptively transferring Tregs to hyperlipidemic Ldlr-/- mice to measure atherosclerosis progression. Results: Compared to controls, oxPAPC-treated Tregs were less viable, but surviving cells expressed higher levels of the Th1-associated markers T-bet, CXCR3, and IFN-. Th1 and Th17 skewing cultures were unaltered by oxPAPC. IFN- is linked to Treg instability, thus Treg polarization experiments were repeated using Ifngr1-/- CD4+ T cells. IFNR1 deficiency did not improve cell viability in oxPAPC-treated Tregs, however, T-bet and IFN- expression was not increased in surviving cells suggesting a role for IFN-signaling. OxPAPC-treated Tregs were less suppressive in vitro, and adoptive transfer studies in hyperlipidemic Ldlr-/- mice showed that oxPAPC-induced Tregs possessed altered tissue homing and were insufficient to inhibit atherosclerosis progression. Conclusions: OxPAPC elicits Treg-specific changes altering Treg differentiation and inducing a Th1-like phenotype in surviving cells partially through IFN- signaling. This is biologically relevant as oxPAPC-treated Tregs do not reduce atherosclerosis progression in Ldlr-/- mice. This study supports the role for oxPLs in negatively impacting Treg differentiation and atheroprotective function.

Project description:Angiogenesis, the formation of new capillaries by sprouting from preexisting vessels, is mainly induced by VEGF-A. To identify genes which are induced by VEGF-A in endothelial cells, HUVEC were starved and induced by VEGF-A165 for 30, 60 and 150min. RNA of induced and uninduced cells was isolated and subjected to microarray analysis using Affymetrix microarray. Experiment Overall Design: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were grown in complete EGM-2 medium in dense culture for four days without change of medium and before the stimulation in EGM-2 medium without growth factors over night. The cells were stimulated with 100ng/ml VEGF-A165 for 30, 60 and 150 min. RNA was isolated with Trizol according to the manufacturer's instructions.
