Induction of osteogenesis by bone-targeted Notch activation

ABSTRACT: Declining bone mass is associated with aging and osteoporosis, a disease characterized by progressive weakening of the skeleton and increased fracture incidence. Growth and lifelong homeostasis of bone involve interactions between different cell types including vascular cells and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). As these interactions involve Notch signaling, we have explored whether treatment with secreted Notch ligand proteins can enhance osteogenesis in adult mice. We show that a bone-targeting, high affinity version of the ligand Delta-like 4 (termed Dll4(E12)) induces bone formation without causing adverse effects in other organs, which are known to rely on intact Notch signaling interactions. Single cell analysis of stromal cells indicates that Dll4(E12) primarily acts via bone marrow MSCs and has comparably minor effects on osteoblast lineage cells, endothelial cells or chondrocytes. Based on this example, we propose that bone-targeted fusion proteins might be therapeutically useful and can avoid detrimental effects caused by systemic administration.

Delta-like ligand 4-Notch signaling inhibition regulates pancreatic islet function and insulin secretion

Project description:Dll4-Notch signaling is required for cell fate decisions and neoplasias. However, emerging evidence suggests a role for Dll4-Notch signaling in metabolic and immune diseases. To date, there is no evidence of a direct effect of Dll4-Notch signaling inhibition on pancreatic islet function and insulin secretion.

Evolutionarily conserved effects of Notch signaling drive intestinal graft-versus-host disease in mice and non-human primates

Project description:Notch signaling promotes T-cell pathogenicity and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) in mice, with a dominant role for the Delta-like ligand DLL4. To assess if Notch’s effects are evolutionarily conserved and identify key mechanisms, we studied antibody-mediated DLL4 blockade in a non-human primate (NHP) model similar to human allo-HCT. Short-term DLL4 blockade improved post-transplant survival with striking, durable protection from gastrointestinal GVHD, out of proportion to other disease sites. Unlike prior immunosuppressive strategies tested in the NHP GVHD model, anti-DLL4 interfered with a T-cell transcriptional program associated with intestinal infiltration. In cross-species investigations, Notch inhibition decreased surface abundance of the gut-homing integrin α4β7 in conventional T-cells while preserving α4β7 in regulatory T-cells, with findings suggesting increased 1 competition for 4 binding in conventional T-cells. Secondary lymphoid organ fibroblastic reticular cells emerged as the critical cellular source of Delta-like Notch ligands for Notch-mediated up-regulation of α4β7 integrin in T-cells after allo-HCT. Altogether, DLL4/Notch blockade decreased effector T-cell infiltration into the gut, with increased regulatory to conventional T-cell ratios early after allo-HCT. Our results identify a conserved, biologically unique and targetable role of DLL4/Notch signaling in GVHD.

Hypoxia-induced Arterial Differentiation Requires Adrenomedullin and Notch Signaling

Project description:Hypoxia (low oxygen) and Notch signaling are two important regulators of vascular development, but how they interact in controlling the choice between arterial and venous fates for endothelial cells during vasculogenesis is less well understood. In this report, we show that hypoxia and Notch signaling intersect in promotion of arterial differentiation. Hypoxia upregulated expression of the Notch ligand Dll4 and increases Notch signaling, in a process requiring the vasoactive hormone adrenomedullin but not endogenous VEGF. Notch signaling also upregulated Dll4 expression, leading to a positive feedback loop sustaining Dll4 expression and Notch signaling. In addition, functional Notch signaling was required for hypoxia to upregulate the arterial marker genes Depp, connexin40 (Gja5), Cxcr4 and Hey1. In conclusion, the data reveal an intricate interaction between hypoxia and Notch signaling in the control of endothelial cell differentiation, including a hypoxia/adrenomedullin/Dll4 axis that initiates Notch signaling and a requirement for Notch signaling to effectuate hypoxiamediated induction of the arterial differentiation program.

Coronary arterial development is regulated by a Dll4-Jag1-EphrinB2 signaling cascade

Project description:Coronaries are essential for myocardial growth and heart function. Notch is crucial for mouse embryonic angiogenesis, but its role in coronary development remains uncertain. We show Jag1, Dll4 and activated Notch1 receptor expression in sinus venosus (SV) endocardium. Endocardial Jag1 removal blocks SV capillary sprouting, while Dll4 inactivation stimulates excessive capillary growth, suggesting that ligand antagonism regulates coronary primary plexus formation. Later endothelial ligand removal, or forced expression of Dll4 or the glycosyltransferase MFng, blocks coronary plexus remodeling, arterial differentiation, and perivascular cell maturation. Endocardial deletion of Efnb2 phenocopies the coronary arterial defects of Notch mutants. Angiogenic rescue experiments in ventricular explants, or in primary human endothelial cells, indicate that EphrinB2 is a critical effector of antagonistic Dll4 and Jag1 functions in arterial morphogenesis. Thus, coronary arterial precursors are specified in the SV prior to primary coronary plexus formation and subsequent arterial differentiation depends on a Dll4-Jag1-EphrinB2 signaling cascade.

Incongruence between transcriptional and vascular pathophysiological cell states II

Project description:The Notch pathway is a major regulator of endothelial transcriptional specification. Targeting the Notch receptors or the ligand Dll4 dysregulates angiogenesis. Here, by analyzing single and compound genetic mutants for all Notch signaling members, we find significant differences in the way ligands and receptors regulate liver vascular homeostasis. Loss of Notch receptors caused endothelial hypermitogenic cell-cycle arrest and senescence. Conversely, Dll4 loss triggered a strong Myc-driven transcriptional switch, inducing endothelial proliferation and the tip-cell state. Myc loss suppressed the induction of angiogenesis in the absence of Dll4, without preventing the vascular enlargement and organ pathology. Similarly, inhibition of other pro-angiogenic pathways, including MAPK/ERK and mTor, had no effect on the vascular expansion induced by Dll4 loss; however, anti-VEGFA treatment prevented it without fully suppressing the transcriptional and metabolic programs. This study shows incongruence between single-cell transcriptional states, vascular phenotypes, and related pathophysiology. Our findings also suggest that vascular structure abnormalization, rather than neoplasms, causes the reported anti-Dll4 antibody toxicity.

Gene expression profile of DLL4+ and DLL4- Hemato-Endothelial Progenitors (HEPs) subpopulations

Project description:In hESCs, expression of the Notch ligand DLL4 parallels the emergence of bipotent hematoendothelial progenitors (HEPs) and promotes their hematopoietic differentiation. During differentiation, DLL4 is only expressed in a subpopulation of HEPs. To study the developmental fate of the two subpopulations of HEPs identified by DLL4 expression, we FACS-isolated DLL4high and DLL4low/- HEPs at day 15 of differentiation and performed gene expression analysis using microarrays
