Transcriptome of CD4+ T cells from mice conditionally lacking YAP1 versus WT in different synthetic micromechanical environments

ABSTRACT: Upon immunogenic challenge, lymph nodes become mechanically stiff as immune cells activate and proliferate within their encapsulated environments, and with resolution, they reestablish a soft, baseline state. Here we show that sensing these mechanical changes in the microenvironment require the mechanosensor YAP. YAP is induced upon activation and suppresses metabolic reprogramming of effector T cells. Unlike in other cell types where YAP promotes proliferation, YAP in T cells suppresses proliferation in a stiffness-dependent manner by directly restricting the translocation of NFAT1 into the nucleus. YAP slows T-cell responses in systemic viral infections and retards effector T cells in autoimmune diabetes. Our work reveals a paradigm whereby tissue mechanics fine-tune adaptive immune responses in health and disease.

YAP regulates cell mechanics by controlling focal adhesion assembly

Project description:Hippo effectors YAP/TAZ act as on-off mechanosensing switches by sensing modifications in extracellular matrix (ECM) composition and mechanics. The regulation of their activity has been described so far through a hierarchical model in which elements of Hippo pathway are under the control of Focal Adhesions (FAs). Here we unveiled the molecular mechanism by which cell spreading and RhoA GTPase control FA formation through YAP to stabilize the anchorage of actin cytoskeleton to cell membrane. This mechanism required YAP co-transcriptional function and involved the activation of genes encoding for integrins and FA docking proteins. Tuning YAP transcriptional activity led to the modification of cell mechanics, force development, adhesion strength, determined cell shaping, migration and differentiation. These results provide new insights into the mechanism of YAP mechanosensing activity and qualify Hippo effector as the key determinant of cell mechanics in response to ECM cues.

YAP-TEAD multiphasic activation regulates pluripotent stem cell mechanics to drive cardiac specification and contractility in pathological heart.

Project description:YAP transcriptional regulator controls cell mechanics by activating genes involved in cell-matrix interaction following extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling and stiffening. YAP is needed for cardiogenesis in mouse but is repressed in adult cardiomyocytes. The protein is reactivated following ischemic insults, although the timing and mechanisms underlying YAP depletion during heart development and the reason for its reactivation are unclear. Here, we combine pluripotent stem cell (PSC) cardiac differentiation, mouse embryo development and human heart tissue analysis to demonstrate that the fine-tuning of cell mechanics, as controlled by YAP multiphasic activation through TEAD transcription, is crucial for mesoderm commitment and cardiac progenitor specification. Finally, by adopting induced PSC models of dilated cardiomyopathy, we prove that YAP-TEAD reactivation in diseased cardiomyocytes empowers calcium handling apparatus and increases cell contractility. Given YAP prompt activation following myocardial infarction, we unveil a novel role for mechanosensing in connecting ECM remodelling to cardiomyocyte function in pathological heart.

RNASeq of early and late passage (non-senescent and senescent) human mesenchymal stem cells cultured on soft (2 kPa) and stiff (25 kPa) collagen-I coated polyacrylamide gels.

Project description:Understanding how cells respond to the mechanics of their environment, and what affect senescence may have on this response, is important to gain a better understanding of mechanobiology, both in health and ageing-associated pathology. This experiment assessed the mRNA levels in early and late passage donor-matched human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) cultured for four days on soft (2 kPa) or stiff (25 kPa) collagen-I coated polyacrylamide (PA) gels. A minimum of three donors were analysed under each condition. Protein coding RNAs were sequenced with Illumina HiSeq technology. In a parallel experiment, protein was quantified by mass spectrometry proteomics.

Proteomic analysis glomeruli of PAN-treated rats

Project description:Podocytes are terminally differentiated cells at the kidney filtration barrier and exposed to considerable mechanical strain. Podocyte injury causes morphological changes as a result of cytoskeletal reorganizations and failure of the filtration barrier. The transcriptional co-activators YAP/TAZ are tightly controlled through hippo signaling and responsive to mechanical cues. Here, we show that YAP is upregulated upon podocyte injury to activate YAP-dependent target genes. This activation preceded the development of proteinuria. In contrast, similar perturbations of cells in culture did not reveal increased YAP activity but showed a downregulation of YAP/TAZ activity when cells were grown on stiff surface. However, culture of cells on soft matrix or inhibition of stress fiber formation allowed recapitulation of the damage-induced YAP upregulation indicating a mechanotransduction-dependent mechanism of YAP hyper-activity. Interestingly, increased expression of YAP targets was confirmed in renal biopsies from patients with glomerular disease. Consistently, pharmacological inhibition of YAP/TEAD activity ameliorated glomerular disease in vivo. These data suggest that perturbation of the mechanosensitive hippo signaling pathway may be a therapeutic principle in podocyte disease.

Direct regulation of T cell exhaustion by NFAT [RNA-Seq]

Project description:During persistent antigen stimulation, CD8+ cytolytic T cells (CTL) show a gradual decrease in effector function, or “exhaustion”, which impairs the immune response to tumors and infections. Here we show that NFAT, a transcription factor with an established role in T cell activation, in parallel controls a second transcriptional program conferring the characteristic features of CD8+ T cell exhaustion, including upregulation of genes encoding inhibitory cell surface receptors and diminished TCR signaling. Expression of an engineered NFAT1, which induces this negative regulatory program in the absence of the effector program, interferes with the ability of CD8+ T cells to protect against Listeria infection or attenuate tumor growth in vivo. NFAT elicits this second program of gene expression in large part by binding to a subset of the sites occupied by NFAT during a typical effector response, suggesting that a balance between the two pathways determines the outcome of TCR signaling.

Hydrogel biomaterials that stiffen and soften on demand reveal that skeletal muscle stem cells harbor a mechanical memory

Project description:Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are specialized cells that reside in adult skeletal muscle poised to repair muscle tissue. The ability of MuSCs to regenerate damaged tissues declines markedly with aging and in diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but the underlying causes of MuSC dysfunction remain poorly understood. Both aging and disease result in dramatic increases in the stiffness of the muscle tissue microenvironment from fibrosis. MuSCs are known to lose their regenerative potential if cultured on stiff plastic substrates. We sought to determine if muscle stem cells harbor a memory of their past microenvironment and if it can be overcome. We tested MuSCs in situ using dynamic hydrogel biomaterials that soften or stiffen on demand in response to light and found that freshly isolated MuSCs develop a persistent memory of substrate stiffness characterized by loss of proliferative progenitors within the first three days of culture on stiff substrates. MuSCs cultured on soft hydrogels had altered cytoskeletal organization and activity of Rho and Rac GTPase and YAP mechanotransduction pathways compared to those on stiff hydrogels. Pharmacologic inhibition identified RhoA activation as responsible for the mechanical memory phenotype, and single cell RNA sequencing revealed a molecular signature of the mechanical memory. These studies highlight that microenvironmental stiffness regulates MuSC fate and leads to MuSC dysfunction that is not readily reversed by changing stiffness. Our results suggest that stiffness can be circumvented by targeting downstream signaling pathways to overcome stem cell dysfunction in aged and disease states with aberrant fibrotic tissue mechanics.

Pi3kcb links Hippo-YAP and PI3K-AKT signaling pathways to promote cardiomyocyte proliferation and survival [ChIPseq]

Project description:Background—YAP, the nuclear effector of Hippo signaling, regulates cellular growth and survival in multiple organs, including the heart, by interacting with TEAD sequence specific DNA-binding proteins. Recent studies showed that YAP stimulates cardiomyocyte proliferation and survival. However, the direct transcriptional targets through which YAP exerts its effects are poorly defined. Methods and Results—To identify genes directly regulated by YAP in cardiomyocytes, we combined differential gene expression analysis in YAP gain- and loss-of-function with genome-wide identification of YAP bound loci using chromatin immunoprecipitation and high throughput sequencing. This screen identified Pik3cb, encoding p110β, a catalytic subunit of phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), as a candidate YAP effector that promotes cardiomyocyte proliferation and survival. We validated YAP and TEAD occupancy of a conserved enhancer within the first intron of Pik3cb, and show that this enhancer drives YAP-dependent reporter gene expression. Yap gain- and loss-of-function studies indicated that YAP is necessary and sufficient to activate the PI3K-Akt pathway. Like Yap, Pik3cb gain-of-function stimulated cardiomyocyte proliferation, and Pik3cb knockdown dampened the YAP mitogenic activity. Reciprocally, Yap loss-of-function impaired heart function and reduced cardiomyocyte proliferation and survival, all of which were significantly rescued by AAV-mediated Pik3cb expression. Conclusion—Pik3cb is a crucial direct target of YAP, through which the YAP activates PI3K-AKT pathway and regulates cardiomyocyte proliferation and survival. Yap wild type ChIPseq and input
