Mechanosensitive ion channel regulates tissue stiffening to promote glioma aggression

ABSTRACT: Tissue stiffening is a physical hallmark of solid tumor. In our study, we found that the mechanosensitive ion channel PIEZO1 can be tumor cells force sensor and transducer that regulate the altered tissue mechanics. We examined the transcriptional changes modulated by depletion of PIEZO1 in two human GBM cell lines. We found that with PIEZO1 KD, the components involved in ECM organization, focal adhesion formation, cytoskeleton, and mitosis, which contribute to tissue stiffness, are down-regulated.

The chondrocyte “mechanome”: Activation of the mechanosensitive ion channels TRPV4 and PIEZO1 drives unique transcriptional signatures

Project description:The mechanosensitive ion channels Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) and PIEZO1 transduce physiologic and supraphysiologic magnitudes of mechanical signals in the chondrocyte, respectively. TRPV4 activation promotes chondrogenesis, while PIEZO1 activation by supraphysiologic deformations drives cell death. The mechanisms by which activation of these channels discretely drives changes in gene expression to alter cell behavior remains to be determined. To date, no studies have contrasted the transcriptomic response to activation of these channels, nor has any published data attempted to correlate these transcriptomes to alterations in cellular function. This study used RNA sequencing to comprehensively investigate the transcriptomes associated with activation of TRPV4 or PIEZO1, revealing that TRPV4 and PIEZO drive distinct transcriptomes, but also exhibit unique co-regulated clusters of genes. Notably, activation of PIEZO1 through supraphysiologic deformation induced a transient inflammatory profile that overlapped with the interleukin (IL)-1-responsive transcriptome and contained genes associated with cartilage degradation and osteoarthritis progression. However, both TRPV4 and PIEZO1 were also shown to elicit anabolic effects. PIEZO1 expression promoted a pro-chondrogenic transcriptome under unloaded conditions, and daily treatment with PIEZO1 agonist Yoda1 significantly increased sulfated glycosaminoglycan deposition in vitro. These findings emphasize the presence of a broad “mechanome” with distinct effects of TRPV4 and PIEZO1 activation in chondrocytes, suggesting complex roles for PIEZO1 in both the physiologic and pathologic responses of chondrocytes. The identification of transcriptomic profiles unique to or shared by PIEZO1 and TRPV4 (distinct from IL-1-induced inflammation) could inform future therapeutic designs targeting these channels for the management and treatment of osteoarthritis.

CFTR deficiency modulates the activity of endothelial mechanosensitive channels TRPV4 and PIEZO1; and drives endothelial barrier failure.

Project description:Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life-shortening genetic disease caused by a mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Despite reports of CFTR expression on endothelial cells, pulmonary vascular perturbations, and perfusion deficit in CF patients, the mechanism of pulmonary vascular disease in CF remains unclear. Here, we describe loss of small pulmonary blood vessels in CF patients with severe lung disease. Using a vessel-on-a-chip model, we establish a shear stress-dependent mechanism of endothelial barrier failure in CF involving calcium-permeable mechanosensitive channel TRPV4. Furthermore, we demonstrate that CFTR deficiency downregulates the function of PIEZO1, another calcium-permeable mechanosensitive channel involved in angiogenesis and wound repair, and further exacerbates loss of small pulmonary blood vessels. We show that CFTR directly interacts with PIEZO1 and enhances its function, and that CFTR deficiency reduces PIEZO1 activity. Our study identifies key cellular targets to mitigate loss of small pulmonary blood vessels in CF.

Three-Dimensional Matrix Stiffness Modulates Mechanosensitive and Phenotypic Alterations in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Spheroids

Project description:Extracellular biophysical cues such as matrix stiffness are key stimuli tuning cell fate and affecting tumor progression in vivo. However, it remains unclear how spheroids in a 3D microenvironment perceive matrix mechanical stiffness stimuli and translate them into intracellular signals driving cancer. Mechanosensitive Piezo1 and TRPV4 ion channels, upregulated in many malignancies, are major transducers of such physical stimuli into biochemical responses. Most mechanotransduction studies probing the reception of changing stiffness cues by cells are, however, still limited to 2D culture systems or cell-extracellular matrix models which lack the major cell-cell interactions prevalent in 3D cancer tumors. Here, we engineered a 3D spheroid culture environment with varying mechanobiological properties to study the effect of static matrix stiffness stimuli on mechanosensitive and malignant phenotypes in oral squamous cell carcinoma spheroids. We find that spheroid growth is enhanced when cultured in stiff extracellular matrix. Using flow cytometry, we show that the expression of mechanoreceptor Piezo1 and stemness marker CD44 is upregulated in stiff matrix. We also report the upregulation of a selection of genes with associations to mechanoreception, ion channel transport, extracellular matrix organization, and tumorigenic phenotypes in stiff matrix spheroids. Together, our results indicate that cancer cells in 3D spheroids utilize mechanosensitive ion channels Piezo1 and TRPV4 to sense changes in static extracellular matrix stiffness and that stiffness drives pro-tumorigenic phenotypes in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Matrix stiffening promotes chondrocyte senescence and the osteoarthritis development through downregulating HDAC3

Project description:Cartilage aging is a quintessential feature of knee osteoarthritis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffening is a typical feature of cartilage aging. However, the mechanism of ECM stiffening to influence chondrocytes and downstream molecules is still poorly understood. Here, we mimicked the physiological and pathological stiffness of human cartilage by using polydimethylsiloxane-based substrates. We show that the epigenetic regulation of Parkin by histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) represents a new mechanosensitive mechanism by which the stiff matrix affects the physiology of chondrocytes. We found that ECM stiffening could accelerate the senescence of cultured chondrocytes in vitro, and also found that stiff ECM downregulated HDAC3, drove Parkin acetylation to activate excessive mitophagy, and accelerated chondrocyte senescence and osteoarthritis in mice. In contrast, intra-articular injection of adeno-associated virus expressing HDAC3 restored the young phenotype of aged chondrocytes stimulated by ECM stiffening and alleviated osteoarthritis in mice. Our findings indicate that changes in the mechanical properties of ECM initiate pathogenic mechanotransduction signals, promote the acetylation of Parkin and hyperactivate mitophagy, and damage the health of chondrocytes. These findings may provide new insights into how the mechanical properties of ECM regulate chondrocytes.

Scar matrix drives Piezo1 mediated stromal inflammation leading to placenta accreta spectrum

Project description:Scar tissue formation is a hallmark of wound repair in adults and can chronically affect tissue architecture and function. To understand the general phenomena, we sought to explore scar-driven imbalance in tissue homeostasis caused by a common, and standardized surgical procedure, the uterine scar due to cesarean surgery. Deep uterine scar is associated with a rapidly increasing condition in pregnant women, placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), characterized by aggressive trophoblast invasion into the uterus, frequently necessitating hysterectomy at parturition. We created a model of uterine scar, recapitulating PAS-like invasive phenotype, showing that scar matrix activates mechanosensitive ion channel, Piezo1, through glycolysis-fueled cellular contraction. Piezo1 activation increases intracellular calcium activity and Protein kinase C activation, leading to NF-κB nuclear translocation, and MafG stabilization. This inflammatory transformation of decidua leads to production of IL-8 and G-CSF, chemotactically recruiting invading trophoblasts towards scar, initiating PAS. Our study demonstrates aberrant mechanics of scar disturbs stroma-epithelia homeostasis in placentation, with implications in cancer dissemination.

The Mechanosensitive Ion Channel Piezo Inhibits Axon Regeneration.

Project description:Neurons exhibit a limited ability of repair. Given that mechanical forces affect neuronal outgrowth, it is important to investigate whether mechanosensitive ion channels may regulate axon regeneration. Here, we show that DmPiezo, a Ca2+-permeable non-selective cation channel, functions as an intrinsic inhibitor for axon regeneration in Drosophila. DmPiezo activation during axon regeneration induces local Ca2+ transients at the growth cone, leading to activation of nitric oxide synthase and the downstream cGMP kinase Foraging or PKG to restrict axon regrowth. Loss of DmPiezo enhances axon regeneration of sensory neurons in the peripheral and CNS. Conditional knockout of its mammalian homolog Piezo1 in vivo accelerates regeneration, while its pharmacological activation in vitro modestly reduces regeneration, suggesting the role of Piezo in inhibiting regeneration may be evolutionarily conserved. These findings provide a precedent for the involvement of mechanosensitive channels in axon regeneration and add a potential target for modulating nervous system repair.

Single Cell RNA-sequencing analyasis of mouse glutamatergic myenteric neurons

Project description:The study aimed to uncover the molecular profile of mouse Vglut2-possitive enteric neurons (VGLUT2-ENs) by single-cell mRNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Method: We performed scRNA-seq of VGLUT2-ENs from distal intestine extracted from 6-8 weeks mice. We removed the non-neuronal cells, performed Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the gene expression level of 15 well accepted and curated myenteric neuron markers, and analyzed the expression of the mechanosensitive ion channels. Results: clustering analysis results from PCA on the 15 gene markers indicates a dominant cluster of VGLUT2-ENs; By comparing the expression levels of the mechanosensitive ion channels Piezo1 and Piezo2 in the non-VGLUT2- ENs and VGLUT2-ENs, we find significantly less expression level of piezo1 and piezo2 genes in the VGLUT2-EN population as compared with myenteric neurons negative for VGLUT2. Conclusion: Molecular profiling of VGLUT2-ENs through single-cell mRNA sequencing unveiled a unique expression profile, distinguishing them from typical interneurons. Additionally, VGLUT2-ENs displayed minimal expression of mechanosensitive ion channels (Piezo1 and Piezo2), setting them apart from mechanosensitive interneurons.
