Effect of CD5-2 on endothelial cells with or without VE-cadherin expression

ABSTRACT: Purpose: The goals of this study are to confirm whether CD5-2 works through VE-cadherin Methods: mRNA profiles of HUVEC and VE-cadherin-/- EC treated with either control or CD5-2 were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Hiseq4000 platform and 150 bp paired-end reads were generated. Reference genome and gene model annotation files were downloaded from genome website browser (NCBI/UCSC/Ensembl) directly. Indices of the reference genome were built using Bowtie (v2.2.3) and paired-end clean reads were aligned to the reference genome using TopHat (v2.0.12). Differentially expressed genes were then determined using DESeq R package (v1.12.0). The resulting P-values were adjusted using the Benjamini and Hochberg’s approach for controlling the False Discovery Rate (FDR). Genes with an adjusted P-value<0.05 and FDR<0.005 were assigned as differentially expressed. Results: 585 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in CD5-2 treated ECs compared with control treated ECs (P < 0.05; false discovery rate [FDR] ≤ 0.005). In stark contrast to that seen in normal ECs, in VE-cadherin-/- ECs, no gene was significantly differently expressed between control and CD5-2 treated group when using the same cut-off criteria, Conclusions: Our study suggests VE-cadherin is essential for the CD5-2 mediated gene changes

Project description:Angiogenesis is a complex multicellular process requiring the orchestration of many events including migration, alignment, proliferation, lumen formation, remodeling, and maturation. Such complexity indicates that not only individual genes but also entire signaling pathways will be crucial in angiogenesis. To define an angiogenic blueprint of regulated genes, we utilized our well-characterized three-dimensional collagen gel model of in vitro angiogenesis, in which the majority of cells synchronously progress through defined morphological stages culminating in the formation of capillary tubes. We developed a comprehensive three-tiered approach using microarray analysis, which allowed us to identify genes known to be involved in angiogenesis and genes hitherto unlinked to angiogenesis as well as novel genes and has proven especially useful for genes where the magnitude of change is small. From a screen of miRNAs altered in in vitro angiogenesis we selected a subset that are predicted to target junctional molecules. MiR-27a, was rapidly downregulated upon stimulation of in vitro angiogenesis and its level of expression is reduced in neo-vessels in vivo. The downregulation of miR-27a was essential for angiogenesis since ectopic expression of miR-27a blocked capillary tube formation and angiogenesis. MiR-27a targets the junctional, endothelial specific cadherin, VE-cadherin. Consistent with this, vascular permeability to VEGF in mice is reduced by administration of a general miR-27 inhibitor. To determine that VE-cadherin was the dominant target of miR-27a function we used a novel technology with “Blockmirs”, inhibitors that bind to the miR-27 binding site in VE-cadherin. The Blockmir CD5-2 demonstrated specificity for VE-cadherin and inhibited vascular leak in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore CD5-2 reduced oedema, increased capillary density and potently enhanced recovery form ischemic limb injury in mice. The Blockmir technology offers a refinement in the use of miRNAs especially for therapy. Further, targeting of endothelial junctional molecules by miRNAs has clinical potential especially in diseases associated with vascular leak.
