Genomic landscape of endothelial cell-glucocorticoid receptor interactions: Regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Vascular inflammation is present in many cardiovascular diseases and exogenous glucocorticoids have traditionally been used as a therapy to suppress inflammation. However, recent data has shown that endogenous glucocorticoids, acting through the endothelial glucocorticoid receptor, act as negative regulators of inflammation. Here we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation for the glucocorticoid receptor followed by next-gen sequencing in mouse endothelial cells to investigate how the endothelial glucocorticoid receptor regulates vascular inflammation. We identified a novel role of the Wnt signaling pathway in this setting and show that loss of the endothelial glucocorticoid receptor results in up regulation of Wnt signaling both in vitro and in vivo using our validated mouse model. Further we demonstrate glucocorticoid receptor regulation of a key gene in the Wnt pathway via a novel glucocorticoid response element gleaned from our genomic data. These results suggest a novel role for endothelial Wnt signaling modulation in states of vascular inflammation.

Identification of endothelial genes co-regulated upon endothelial Evi/Wls and Rspo3 deletion

Project description:Inducible endothelial Rspo3 deletion resulted in perturbed developmental and tumor vascular remodeling. Rspo3-iECKO mice strikingly phenocopied the non-canonical WNT signaling-induced vascular defects of mice deleted for the WNT secretion factor Evi/Wls. An endothelial screen for RSPO3 and EVI/WLS co-regulated genes identified novel target genes, which could be linked to WNT/Ca2+/NFAT signaling. In summary, the study identifies endothelial RSPO3-driven non canonical WNT/Ca2+/NFAT signaling as critical maintenance pathway of the remodeling vasculature.

Regulation of synovial DKK1 expression by local glucocorticoid metabolism in inflammatory arthritis

Project description:Inflammatory arthritis is associated with bone loss and fractures due to abnormal bone remodelling. Bone remodelling is 'uncoupled' with bone resorption increased and bone formation suppressed. These changes resemble those seen in patients treated with therapeutic glucocorticoids, and in both of these situations, altered wnt signalling is implicated. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of the synovial fibroblast in mediating abnormal bone remodelling during inflammation. The wnt antagonist dickkopf-1 (DKK1) is secreted by synovial fibroblasts in response to inflammation, and this protein has been proposed to be a master regulator of bone remodelling in inflammatory arthritis. Here we show that DKK1 expression by primary human synovial fibroblasts is more potently regulated by glucocorticoids than pro-inflammatory cytokines. Glucocorticoids, but not TNF-alpha, regulated expression of multiple wnt agonists and antagonists in favour of inhibition of wnt signalling. In vitro TNF-alpha and IL1-beta indirectly regulate DKK1 production through increased expression of the glucocorticoid activating enzyme 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1). These results demonstrate that the links between synovial inflammation, altered wnt signalling and bone remodelling may not be direct but are dependent on local activation of endogenous glucocorticoids. Human fibroblast-like synoviocytes isolated from patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with either vehicle, TNF or dexamethasone (dex). Gene arrays for control, TNF and dexamethasone treatments were performed on three separate synovial fibroblast cell lines isolated from three rheumatoid arthritis patients. All fold changes displayed are the combined results of the three separate fibroblast lines.

Potentiation of glucocorticoid signaling by chloroquine via inhibition of lysosomes

Project description:Anti-malaria drug chloroquine has been used as an anti-inflammatory agent for treating systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, without clear mechanism of action. Here we report that chloroquine potently inhibits the expression of proinflammatory cytokines through transrepression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Instead of direct binding to GR, chloroquine synergistically activates glucocorticoid signaling via inhibition of lysosomal functions. In mouse collagen induced arthritis model, chloroquine synergizes the therapeutic effects of glucocorticoid. Lysosomal inhibition by bafilomycin A1, an inhibitor of V-type ATPase, or by knockdown of transcription factor EB (TFEB), a master activator of lysosomal biogenesis, mimics the effects of chloroquine. These results reveal an unexpected regulation of glucocorticoid signaling by lysosomes and provide a mechanistic basis for treating inflammation and autoimmune diseases by combination of glucocorticoids and lysosomal inhibitors. Macrophage THP-1 cells treated with LPS, chloroquine and dexamethasone.

mRNA expression in HEK-293 /STF cells

Project description:Canonical Wnt signaling in endothelial cells (ECs) is required for vascularization of the central nervous system (CNS) and for formation and maintenance of barrier properties unique to CNS vasculature. Gpr124 is an orphan member of the adhesion G-protein-coupled receptor family that is expressed in ECs and is essential for CNS angiogenesis and barrier formation via an unknown mechanism. Using canonical Wnt signaling assays in cell culture and genetic loss- and gain-of-function experiments in mice, we show that Gpr124 functions as a co-activator of Wnt7a- and Wnt7b-stimulated canonical Wnt signaling via a Frizzled receptor and Lrp co-receptor, and that Gpr124-stimulated signaling functions in concert with Norrin/Frizzled4 signaling to control CNS vascular development. These experiments identify Gpr124 as a ligand-specific co-activator of canonical Wnt signaling. Total mRNA from HEK-293/STF cells was subjected to RNAseq

ADAMTSL2, a missing link in Wnt/ß-catenin regulated CNS vascular development

Project description:Context dependent molecular cues shape the formation of the cerebral vascular network and the function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The Wnt/ß-catenin pathway is orchestrating CNS vascular development, but downstream mediators have not been characterized. Here we generated an endothelial cell-specific R26-Axin1 overexpression (AOE) mouse model to inhibit Wnt/ß-catenin signaling. In AOE mice we discovered that blockade of Wnt/ß-catenin pathway leads to premature regression and remodeling without compromising BBB integrity. Importantly, by comparing transcriptomes of endothelial cells from wildtype and AOE mice, we identified ADAMTSL2 as a novel Wnt/ß-catenin-induced, secreted factor, important for stabilizing the BBB during development. Zebrafish loss-of-function and gain-of-function models, further demonstrated that ADAMTSL2 is crucial for normal vascular development and could rescue vascular phenotypes in AOE zebrafish brains. In conclusion, the studies presented here reveal a hitherto unrecognized role of ADAMTSL2 as an endothelial cell-specific mediator of Wnt/ß-catenin signaling during CNS vascular development and BBB-formation.
