Analysis of Differentially Regulated Genes in Lung Microvasculature

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive fatal disease that is characterized by pathological pulmonary artery remodeling, in which endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction is critically involved. We herein describe a previously unknown role of endothelial angiocrine in pulmonary hypertension. By searching for genes highly expressed in lung microvascular ECs, we identified inhibin--A (INHBA) as an angiocrine factor produced by pulmonary capillaries. We found that excess production of INHBA by ECs impairs the endothelial function in an autocrine manner by functioning as activin A (ActA). Mechanistically, ActA induces bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPRII) internalization and targeting to lysosomes for degradation, resulting in BMPRII signal deficiency in ECs. When endothelial ActA-BMPRII link is overdriven in mice, hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension was exacerbated, whereas conditional knockout of INHBA in ECs prevents the progression of pulmonary hypertension. These data collectively indicate a critical role for the dysregulated endothelial ActA-BMPRII link in the progression of pulmonary hypertension, and thus endothelial INHBA/ActA is an attractive pharmacotherapeutic target for the treatment of PAH.

Analysis of Differentially Regulated Genes in Lung Tissue

Project description:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive fatal disease that is characterized by pathological pulmonary artery remodeling, in which endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction is critically involved.

Endothelial cell senescence exacerbates pulmonary hypertension by inducing juxtacrine Notch signaling in smooth muscle cells

Project description:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a fatal disease characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary artery pressure caused by pathological pulmonary artery remodeling. Here, we show that endothelial cell (EC) senescence plays a negative role in pulmonary hypertension via juxtacrine interaction with smooth muscle cells (SMCs). By using EC-specific progeroid mice that we recently generated, we discovered that EC progeria deteriorated vascular remodeling in the lungs, and exacerbated pulmonary hypertension in mice exposed to chronic hypoxia. Mechanistically, senescent ECs overexpressed Notch ligands, which resulted in increased Notch signaling and activated proliferation and migration capacities in neighboring SMCs. Pharmacological inhibition of Notch signaling reduced the effects of senescent ECs on SMCs functions in vitro, and improved the worsened pulmonary hypertension in EC-specific progeroid mice in vivo. Our findings show that EC senescence is a critical disease-modifying factor in PAH and that EC-mediated Notch signaling is a pharmacotherapeutic target for the treatment of PAH, particularly in the elderly.

Effects of BMPR2 Loss in Human Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells

Project description:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a fatal disease characterized by a proliferative endothelial cell phenotype, inflammation and pulmonary vascular remodeling. BMPR2 loss-of-function has been linked to pathologic plexiform lesions with obliteration of distal pulmonary arteries distal pulmonary arteries BMPR2 silencing inprimary human pulmonary artery ECs (HPAECs) recapitulate important aspects of cellular dysfunction and deregulated signaling associated with PAH. Primary HPAECs were transfected with gene-specific siRNA pools targeting BMPR2 or control siRNA followed PMA or control stimulation.

Genome-wide analysis of human pulmonary artery endothelial cells after knockdown of either BMPRII or beta-catenin

Project description:Expression analysis of genes potentially regulated by BMPRII and beta-catenin. BMPRII has been linked as a genetic factor to the disease pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Expression data of quaternary clones from rat lung CD117+ endothelial cells vs. non-clonal control endothelial cells

Project description:One current concept suggests that unchecked proliferation of clonally selected precursors of endothelial cells contribute to severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (pAH). We hypothesized that clonally selected ECs expressing the progenitor marker CD117 promote severe occlusive pulmonary hypertension (PH). We used microarrays to identify the steady state gene expression profile of quaternary clones derived from CD117+ rat lung ECs vs control ECs derived from rat lung CD117- cells.

E2F1 mediates SOX17 Deficiency-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension

Project description:SRY-Box Transcription Factor 17 (SOX17) enhancers variants and mutations are found in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In human PAH pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMVEC), there is a significant downregulation of SOX17 expression. We hypothesized that SOX17 deficiency contributes to the pathogenesis of PAH and found that mice with endothelial specific disruption (ecKO Sox17) developed spontaneous pulmonary hypertension (PH) and exacerbated hypoxia-induced PH. Loss of SOX17 in lung ECs induces cell cycle programming, proliferative and anti-apoptotic phenotypes, a process mediated by the activation of E2F Transcription Factor 1 (E2F1) signaling. Pharmacological inhibition of E2F1 in ecKO Sox17 mice attenuated PH and cell cycle programming. Our study demonstrated that endothelial SOX17 deficiency induces PH and targeting E2F1 signaling represents a promising approach in PAH patients.

Investigation of endothelial cell gene dysregulation in early pulmonary arterial hypertension disease model

Project description:Endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction plays a key role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). To avoid cell cultures and whole lung tissue samples, we have, for the first time, used CD31 antibody coated magnetic beads in conjunction with genome scale RNA expression microarrays to profile ECs in vivo at any stage of PAH. We hypothesized that targeting early stages of the disease would identify novel mediators of PAH and genes linked to bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2) signaling. Rats were treated with either monocrotaline (60mg/kg) or saline as control with 4 animals in each experimental group. Gene expression profiling was performed on primary pulmonary endothelial cells directly after isolation from whole lung tissue 5 days after treatment.

E2F1 mediates SOX17 Deficiency-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension [scRNA-seq]

Project description:SRY-Box Transcription Factor 17 (SOX17) enhancers variants and mutations are found in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In human PAH pulmonary endothelial cells, there is a significant downregulation of SOX17 expression. We hypothesized that SOX17 deficiency contributes to the pathogenesis of PAH and found that mice with endothelial specific disruption (ecKO Sox17) developed spontaneous pulmonary hypertension (PH) and exacerbated hypoxia-induced PH. Loss of SOX17 in lung ECs induced endothelial dysfunctions including upregulation of cell cycle programming and paracrine effect, proliferative and anti-apoptotic phenotypes, impaired cellular junction and BMP signaling. E2F Transcription Factor 1 (E2F1) signaling was showed to mediate the SOX17 deficiency-induced EC dysfunction. Pharmacological inhibition of E2F1 in ecKO Sox17 mice attenuated PH and cell cycle programming. Our study demonstrated that endothelial SOX17 deficiency induces PH through E2F1 and targeting E2F1 signaling represents a promising approach in PAH patients.
