Targeting Piezo1 Unleashes Innate Immunity Against Cancer and Infectious Disease

ABSTRACT: Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive ion channel that has gained recognition for its role in regulating diverse physiological processes. However, the influence of Piezo1 in inflammatory disease, including infection and tumor-immunity, is not well-studied. We postulated that Piezo1 links physical forces to immune regulation in myeloid cells. We discovered signal transduction via Piezo1 in myeloid cells and established this channel as the primary sensor of mechanical stress in these cells. Global inhibition of Piezo1 was protective against both cancer and septic shock and resulted in a diminution in suppressive myeloid cells. Moreover, deletion of Piezo1 in myeloid cells protected against cancer and increased survival in poly-microbial sepsis. Mechanistically, we show that mechanical stimulation promotes Piezo1-dependent myeloid cell expansion by suppressing Rb. We further show Piezo1-mediated silencing of Rb is regulated via upregulation of HDAC2. Collectively, our work uncovers Piezo1 as a targetable immune checkpoint that drives immune-suppressive myelopoiesis in cancer and infectious disease.

Mechanosensation of Cyclical Force by PIEZO1 is Essential for Innate Immunity

Project description:Although cells of the immune system experience force and pressure throughout their lifecycle, almost nothing is known about how these mechanical processes regulate the immune response. Immune cells in highly mechanical organs, such as the lung, are constantly exposed to tonic and dynamically changing mechanical cues. Here using reverse genetics, we show that myeloid cells respond to force and alterations in cyclical hydrostatic pressure (CHP) via the mechanosensory ion channel (MSIC) PIEZO1. Unbiased RNA-sequencing from macrophages subjected to CHP reveals a striking state of proinflammatory reprogramming. We report a novel mechanosensory-immune signaling circuit which PIEZO1 initiates in response to CHP, activating c-JUN, upregulating Endothelin-1 (EDN1), and stabilizing HIF1α to facilitate a prolonged program of proinflammatory mediators. Using mice conditionally deficient of PIEZO1 in myeloid cells, and cellular depletion assays, we show infiltrating monocytes respond to cyclical force to recruit neutrophils and clear pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Furthermore, myeloid PIEZO1 also drove lung pathology in a mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis. Our results demonstrate a novel environmental sensory axis that myeloid cells recognize to mount an inflammatory response, and is the first report showing a physiological role for PIEZO1 and mechanosensation in immunity.

Transcriptome analysis of tendon derived from Piezo1 mutant mice

Project description:Tendon tissue growth is promoted by mechanical stimulation, but the mechanism is not well understood. Piezo1, a mechanical stress-responsive channel receptor, is expressed in tendon cells, and the fact that tendon tissue growth was accelerated in Piezo1 gain of function mice suggests that Piezo1 plays an important role in tendon tissue growth. RNA-seq of tendon tissues from these mice showed increased expression of tendon-related genes and decreased expression of muscle-related genes, suggesting that Piezo1 may play a role in maintaining and enhancing the properties of tendon cells.

Genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screen for novel regulators of mechanical stress on NLRP3 inflammasome activation

Project description:Immune cells sense the microenvironment to fine-tune their inflammatory responses. Patients with cryopyrin associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), caused by mutations in the NLRP3 gene, present auto-inflammation and its manifestation is largely dependent on environmental cues. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we uncover that KCNN4, a calcium-activated potassium channel, links PIEZO-mediated mechanotransduction to NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Yoda1, a PIEZO1 agonist, lowers the threshold for NLRP3 inflammasome activation. PIEZO-mediated sensing of stiffness and shear stress increases NLRP3-dependent inflammation. Myeloid-specific deletion of PIEZO1/2 protects mice from gouty arthritis. Activation of PIEZO1 triggers calcium influx, which activates KCNN4 to evoke potassium efflux promoting NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Activation of PIEZO signaling is sufficient to activate the inflammasome in cells expressing CAPS-causing NLRP3 mutants via KCNN4. Finally, pharmacologic inhibition of KCNN4 alleviates auto-inflammation in CAPS patient cells and in CAPS-mimicking mice. Thus, PIEZO-dependent mechanical inputs augment inflammation in NLRP3-dependent diseases including CAPS.

Piezo1-mediated Mechanotransduction Shapes ILC2 Translational Activity, Functions, and Lung Pathogenicity

Project description:Group-2 innate-lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are critical mediators of the type-2 immune responses in multiple lung pathologies. We show that Piezo1, a mechanosensitive ion channel, plays a key role in regulating ILC2 functions by linking mechanical cues to biochemical signaling pathways. Both murine and human ILC2s strongly express Piezo1, and its activation by Yoda1 selectively enhances IL-13 production through calcium influx, which activates the mTOR-S6K pathway. This pathway leads to translational reprogramming, favoring IL-13 translation. Piezo1-deficient in ILC2s impairs this process, reducing IL-13 levels and resulting in attenuated lung inflammation and fibrosis in mouse models of IL-33- or Alternaria alternata-induced airway inflammation and bleomycin-induced fibrosis. These findings position Piezo1 as a critical mediator of ILC2-driven type-2 immune responses and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target for lung diseases characterized by excessive inflammation. This streamlined understanding of Piezo1 function improves focus on its mechanistic role in lung pathology.

Study on the mechanisms of Piezo1-lars2 signal path mediating the mechanical loading on endochondral ossification process of fracture healing

Project description:In China, the incidence of fracture non-unions is relatively high. Impaired endochondral ossification may lead to nonunion due to improper mechanical loading. As a mechanosensitive ion channel protein, Piezo1mediates mechanical transduction and induces calcium inward flow. Our early study showed that the osteogenic and angiogenic capacity of chondrocytes was reduced, if Piezo1 gene was knocked out on chondrocytes. Moreover, the expression of mitochondrion translation related gene LARS2 was signaling increased. Therefore, we hypothesize that the mechanical loading may cause endochondral ossification through the Piezo1- LARS2 signaling pathway. We will use conditioned gene knockout mice and Peizo1 knockdown stable cell line to support the hypothesis. Our goals include investigating the changes of Piezo1 expression during endochondral ossification of femoral fracture healing in mice under mechanical loading; investigating the response of Piezo1 channels on chondrocytes to mechanical stimulation and its role and mechanism in regulating chondrocyte osteogenesis and angiogenesis, maintaining the normal mitochondrial function in vitro; analysing the key molecular and signal network downstream of Piezo1 through the multi-omics techniques; and exploring the response mechanism of Piezo1 under vibrating stimulus. This project aims to study the molecular mechanism of Piezo1-mediated force-biological information transition and its role in endochondral ossification. We hope it provides an effective intervention target for preventing and treating fracture nonunion.

RNA-seq analysis of Piezo1-deficient muscle satellite cells

Project description:Muscle satellite cells (MuSCs), skeletal muscle-resident stem cells, are crucial for regeneration of myofibers. Mechanical cues are thought to be important for activation and proliferation of muscle satellite cells, but the molecular entity that senses biophysical forces in MuSCs remains to be elucidated. In this study, we identified PIEZO1, a mechanosensitive ion channel that is activated by membrane tension, as a critical determinant for myofiber regeneration. We investigated gene profiles of Piezo1-deficient MuSCs to understand the role of PIEZO1 during myogenesis. Our results suggest that PIEZO1 governs the cytoskeletal reorganization to regulate cellular events in MuSCs (i.e., activation, cell-division, and proliferation) during skeletal muscle regeneration.

Piezo1 integration of vascular architecture with physiological force LC-MSMS

Project description:The mechanisms by which physical forces regulate cells to determine complexities of vascular structure and function are enigmatic. Here we show the role the ion channel subunit Piezo1 (FAM38A). Disruption of mouse Piezo1 gene disturbed vascular development and was embryonic lethal within days of the heart beating to cause blood flow. Importance of Piezo channels as sensors of blood flow was indicated by Piezo1 dependence of shear stress-evoked ionic current and calcium influx in endothelial cells and the ability of exogenous Piezo1 to confer shear stress sensitivity on cells that otherwise lacked. Downstream of this calcium influx was proteoase activity and spatial organization of endothelial cells to the polarity of the applied force. Without Piezo1, normal endothelial cell organization was lacking. The data suggest Piezo1 channels as pivotal integrators of vascular architacture with physiological mechanical force.
