Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor signaling establishes AP-1 transcriptional factor gradients and permits retinal endothelial specialization

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional mechanisms that drive angiogenesis and organotypic endothelial specialization are poorly understood. Here, we show that retinal endothelial sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors (S1PRs), which restrain vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis, spatially restrict expression of JunB, a member of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) family of transcription factors. Mechanistically, VEGF induces JunB expression at the sprouting vascular front while S1PR-dependent VE-cadherin assembly suppresses JunB expression in the nascent vascular network, thus creating a gradient of this transcription factor. Endothelial-specific JunB knockout mice showed diminished expression of neurovascular guidance genes and attenuated retinal vascular network progression. In addition, endothelial S1PR signaling is required for normal expression of ß-catenin-dependent genes such as TCF/LEF1 and ZIC3 transcription factors, transporters and junctional proteins. These results show that S1PR signaling restricts JunB function to the expanding vascular front, thus creating an AP-1 transcriptional factor gradient and enables organotypic endothelial specialization of the vascular network.

Endothelial Jagged1 levels and distribution are post-transcriptionally controlled by ZFP36 decay proteins

Project description:Vascular morphogenesis requires a delicate gradient of Notch signaling that is controlled, at least in part, by the distribution of ligands (Dll4 and Jagged1). How jagged1 (JAG1) expression is compartmentalized in the vascular plexus remains unclear. Here we showed that Jag1 mRNA is a direct target of zinc finger protein 36 (ZFP36), an RNA-binding protein involved in mRNA decay that we found robustly induced by VEGF. Endothelial cells lacking ZFP36 displayed high levels of JAG1 and increased angiogenic sprouting in vitro. Similarly, mice lackingZfp36in endothelial cells display mispatterned and increased levels of JAG1 in the developing retinal vascular plexus. Abnormal levels of JAG1 at the sprouting front altered NOTCH1 signaling, increasing the number of tip cells; a phenotype that was rescued by imposing haploinsufficiency ofJag1. Our findings reveal an important feedforward loop, whereby VEGF stimulates ZFP36, consequently suppressing Jag1 to enable adequate levels of Notch signaling during sprouting angiogenesis.

HUVEC with/without VEGF-A treatment in 3D matrigel or 2D monoculture

Project description:To profile changes in gene expression in human endothelial cells in response to VEGF-A165 and phenotypic changes during vascular network formation in vitro 16 samples of human umbilical vein endothelial cells were analysized, four distinct biological samples were used in each condition. The four conditions included: VEGF treatment in Matrigel culture, Mock treatment in Matrigel culture, VEGF treatment in 2D monolayer, and mock treatment in 2D monolayer.

Macrophages preserve endothelial cell specialization in the adrenal gland to modulate aldosterone secretion and blood pressure (scRNA-Seq)

Project description:The adrenal cortex is characterized by a distinct architecture as well as a high density of specialized sinusoidal blood vessels. The preservation of this particular endothelial cell phenotype is likely vital for proper adrenal gland function. The aldosterone-producing zona glomerulosa harbors macrophages in close association with sinusoidal capillaries. However, the function of this macrophage-endothelial cell-juxtaposition in steady-state conditions is unknown. We show that macrophages preserve capillary specialization in the adrenal gland and modulate aldosterone secretion. By combining macrophage-specific deletion of the angiogenic cytokine Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A), single-cell transcriptomics and functional phenotyping, we provide evidence that loss of VEGF-A in myeloid cells, including adrenal gland macrophages depletes a specialized subset of PLVAP+ fenestrated endothelial cells in the zona glomerulosa of mice, along with increased deposition of basement membrane collagen IV and in

Role of Y1212 VEGFR2 signaling transduction

Project description:The project concerns vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling, which is dependent on binding of VEGF to VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR2) and leads to activation of the receptor kinase and autophosphorylation. Previous mouse studies with the VEGFR-2 phosphorylation site mutation Y1212F showed reduced vascular stability. We here investigate with LC-MS proteomics which signal transduction pathway(s) are lost in the mutant by identifying proteins that bind to the Y1212F site.

FGF-dependent regulation of VEGF signaling via transcriptional control of VEGF receptor 2 expression

Project description:Numerous studies have suggested a link between fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathways; however the nature of this link has not been established. To evaluate this relationship we investigated VEGF signaling in endothelial cells with disrupted FGF signaling in vitro and in vivo. We find that endothelial cells lacking FGF signaling become unresponsive to VEGF due to down regulation of VEGFR2 expression caused by reduced Vegfr2 enhancer activation, which is in turn caused by reduced activation of Ets family transcription factors. In vivo this manifests in the loss of vascular integrity and morphogenesis. Thus, basal FGF stimulation of the endothelium is required for maintenance of VEGFR2 expression and the ability to respond to VEGF stimulation and accounts for the hierarchic control of vascular formation by FGFs and VEGF. Primary mouse lung endothelial cells were transduced with either Adeno-Null (empty) or Adeno- dominant negative FGF receptor 1 and harvested 24 hours after transduction. Total RNA was extracted and subjected to the analysis using SuperArray GEArray Q Series Mouse Angiogenesis Gene Array. Comparisons were made between treatments.

MicroRNAs expression in 20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3-induced anti-angiogenesis

Project description:The angio-suppressive effect of 20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3-R) has been previously demonstrated, and microRNAs (miRNAs) are a vital group of small non-coding RNAs that function as post-transcriptional modulator of gene expression. Thus, using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) as model, we compared the microRNA (miRNA) expression profile of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced cells with the profile of the cell co-treated with VEGF and Rg3-R. Among the screened 553 human miRNAs, 6 up-regulated (miR-520h, miR-487b, miR-197, miR-524*, miR-342 and miR-219) and 3 down-regulated (miR-23a, miR-489 and miR-377) miRNAs were detected in Rg3-R treated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced HUVECs compared to VEGF alone. Real time RT-PCR was subsequently performed to verify the miRNA microarray result. Two condition experiment: VEGF-induced HUVEC and VEGF-induced HUVEC treated with Rg3-R. Three independent microarray experiments, with triplicate per microarray.

Cerebrovasculature in brain malignancies from 13 surgical resected samples

Project description:Dysfunction in human cerebrovasculature contribute to pathogenesis of multiple neurological diseases, and the blood brain barrier (BBB), an organotypic specialization of the cerebrovasculature, impedes the delivery of systemic therapies for nearly all brain disorders.Here we developed a novel methodology to isolate fresh cells from the human cerebrovasculature with high capture efficiency and cell viability, and performed single-cell mRNA sequencing (scRNAseq) for human cerebrovascular cells from 13 surgical resected samples, including normal human brain tissue and gliomas, the most common brain malignancy. We profiled the transcriptome of 103,230 single cells, including 57,324 endothelial cells and 27,703 mural cells.We molecular defined the principle vascular cell types in the BBB, and uncovered molecular underpinning of heterogeneity in endothelial cells, mural cells and perivascular fibroblasts along the arteriovenous axis.
