Project description:Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) constitute discontinuous, permeable microvessels, with a characteristic program of gene expression that differs significantly from continuous microvascular endothelial cells e.g. in the lung. Gata4 is described as master regulator of LSEC specification during liver development. Here, we sought to analyze the role of endothelial Gata4 in the adult liver. We used microarrays to analyse the program of gene expression in murine whole liver lysates with LSEC-specifig Gata4 deficiency.

LSEC play a pivotal role in liver fibrogenesis in the CDAA dietary model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). We used microarrays to analyse the program of gene expression in murine liver endothelial cells after 10 weeks of CDAA diet.

Project description:Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) constitute discontinuous, permeable microvessels, with a characteristic programme of gene expression that differs significantly from continuous microvascular endothelial cells e.g. in the lung. Notch signalling plays a crucial role in a variety of processes in endothelial cells such as vascular morphogenesis, and vascular differentiation. We used microarrays to analyse the programme of gene expression in murine liver endothelial cells with enhanced Notch signalling.

Project description:Microvascular endothelial cells (EC) are increasingly recognized as organ-specific gatekeepers of their microenvironment. Microvascular EC instruct neighboring cells in their organ-specific vascular niches by angiocrine factors that comprise secreted growth factors/angiokines, but also extracellular matrix molecules and transmembrane proteins. The molecular regulators, however, that drive organ-specific microvascular transcriptional programs and thereby regulate angiodiversity, are largely elusive. Opposite to continuous barrier-forming EC, liver sinusoids are a prime model of discontinuous, permeable micro-vessels. Here, we show that transcription factor GATA4 controls liver sinusoidal endothelial (LSEC) specification and function. LSEC-restricted deletion of GATA4 caused transformation of discontinuous liver sinusoids into continuous capillaries. Capillarization was characterized by ectopic basement membrane deposition and formation of an abundantly VE-Cadherin expressing continuous endothelium. Correspondingly, ectopic expression of GATA4 in cultured continuous EC mediated downregulation of continuous EC transcripts and upregulation of LSEC genes. Regarding angiocrine functions, the switch from discontinuous LSEC to continuous EC during embryogenesis caused liver hypoplasia, fibrosis, and impaired colonization by hematopoietic progenitor cells resulting in anemia and embryonic lethality. Thus, GATA4 acts as master regulator of hepatic microvascular specification and acquisition of organ-specific vascular competence indispensable for liver development. The data also establish an essential role of the hepatic microvasculature for embryonic hematopoiesis.

Project description:Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) represent a unique, organ-specific type of discontinuous endothelial cells. LSEC instruct the hepatic vascular niche by paracrine-acting angiocrine factors. Recently, we have shown that LSEC-specific transcriptional regulator GATA4 induces expression of BMP2 in cultured endothelial cells (EC) in vitro. Furthermore, angiocrine Bmp2 signaling in the liver in vivo was demonstrated to control iron homeostasis. Here, we investigated GATA4-dependent autocrine BMP2 signaling in endothelial cells by gene expression profiling. GATA4 induced a large cluster of inflammatory endothelial response genes in cultured EC, which is similar to previously identified virus-induced and interferon-associated responses. Treating the cells with the BMP2 inhibitor Noggin counter-regulated the GATA4-dependent inflammatory phenotype of EC, indicating that BMP2 is indeed the major driver. In contrast to continuous EC, LSEC were less prone to activation by BMP2. Notably, GATA4-dependent induction of the inflammatory EC response gene cluster was attenuated by over-expression of the LSEC-specific transcriptional modifier LMO3 while hepatocyte activation was fully preserved, indicating conserved BMP2 synthesis. In summary, our data suggest that transcriptional counter-regulation by GATA4 and LMO3 in LSEC prevents autocrine induction of an inflammatory phenotype, while maintaining angiocrine BMP2-mediated cell communication in the liver vascular niche.

Project description:Chronic liver disease is a major leading cause of portal hypertension that affects approximately 1.5 billion people globally. We show that GIMAP5, a small organellar GTPase, is selectively expressed in liver endothelial cells and human GIMAP5 deficiency causes portal hypertension with capillarization of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs). LSEC capillarization is recapitulated in GIMAP5 loss-of-function (LOF) mice, and upon conditional Gimap5 deletion in endothelial cells. Single cell RNA-sequencing analyses reveals replacement of LSECs with capillarized endothelial cells and expansion of liver lymphatic endothelial cells in GIMAP5 LOF mice, and places GIMAP5 upstream of GATA4, a transcription factor required for LSEC-specification. Our studies reveal that GIMAP5 prevents portal hypertension by maintaining LSEC identity and suggest that LSEC is an induced endothelial cell state.

Project description:Liver sinusoidal endothelium (LSEC) is a prime example for organ-specific microvascular differentiation and functions. Disease-associated capillarization of LSEC in vivo and dedifferentiation of LSEC in vitro indicate the importance of the hepatic microenvironment. To identify the LSEC-specific molecular differentiation program in the rat, we used a two-sided gene expression profiling approach comparing LSEC freshly isolated ex vivo with both lung microvascular endothelial cells (LMEC) and with LSEC cultured for 42h. The LSEC signature consisted of 48 genes both down-regulated in LMEC and in LSEC upon culture (FC>7 in at least one comparison); qRT-PCR confirmation of these genes included numerous family members and signalling pathway-associated molecules. The LSEC differentiation program comprised distinct sets of growth (wnt2, Fzd4, 5, 9, wls, VEGFR1, 2, 3, Nrp2) and transcription factors (Gata4, Lmo3, Tcfec, Maf) as well as endocytosis-related (Stabilin-1/2, Lyve1 and Ehd3) and cytoskeleton-associated molecules (Rnd3/RhoE). Specific gene induction in cultured LSEC versus freshly isolated LSEC as well as LMEC (Esm-1, Aatf) and up-regulation of gene expression to LMEC levels (CXCR4, Apelin) confirmed true transdifferentiation of LSEC in vitro. In addition, our analysis identified a novel 26 kDa single-pass transmembrane protein, liver endothelial differentiation-associated protein (Leda)-1, that was selectively expressed in all liver endothelial cells and preferentially localized to the abluminal cell surface. Upon forced over-expression in MDCK cells, Leda-1 was sorted baso-laterally to E-cadherin-positive adherens junctions suggesting functional involvement in cell adhesion and polarity. Conclusion: Comparative microvascular analysis in rat identified a hepatic microenvironment-dependent LSEC-specific differentiation program including the novel junctional molecule Leda-1.
