Expression data from ERK1/2 null endothelial cells

ABSTRACT: Angiogenesis is a complex process orchestrated by both growth factors and cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix and is initiated by focal degradation of the vascular basement membrane with subsequent migration and proliferation of endothelial cells (EC). The Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway is critical for EC function during angiogensis. Although in vitro studies implicate ERK1 and ERK2 in EC survival, their precise role in EC function in vivo remains poorly defined. Cre/loxP technology was used to inactivate Erk1 and Erk2 in EC during murine development, resulting in embryonic lethality due to a drastic reduction in angiogenesis. The angiogenic defect was linked to diminished EC proliferation and migration, but not to increased cell apoptosis. Expression of key cell cycle regulators was diminished in the double knockout cells. In addition, both Paxillin and Focal Adhesion Kinase were expressed at lower levels and failed to correctly localize to the cell membrane in EC lacking Erk1 and Erk2, leading to defects in the organization of the cytoskeleton and in cell motility. The results demonstrate that ERK1 and ERK2 coordinate cell proliferation and migration during angiogenesis.

Lentivirus infected cells to generate ERK1/2 WT and ERK1/2 DKO endothelial cells were cultured, RNA was extracted and Affymetrix gene expression arrays were performed.

Endothelial-specific mitochondiral complex III KO leads to lung endothelial cell gene deregulation.

Project description:Endothelial cells (ECs) require glycolysis for proliferation and migration during angiogenesis; however, the necessity for the mitochondrial respiratory chain during angiogenesis is not known. Here we report that inhibition of respiratory chain complex III impairs proliferation, but not migration of ECs in vitro by decreasing the NAD+/NADH ratio. To determine whether mitochondrial respiration is necessary for angiogenesis in vivo, we conditionally ablate a subunit of the respiratory chain complex III (QPC) in ECs. Loss of QPC decreases respiration, resulting in diminished EC proliferation, and impairment in retinal and tumor angiogenesis. Loss of QPC does not decrease genes associated with anabolism or nucleotides levels in ECs, but diminishes amino acid levels. Our findings indicate that mitochondrial respiration is necessary for angiogenesis, and that the primary role of mitochondria in ECs is to serve as biosynthetic organelles for cell proliferation.

Vasopressin V2 Receptor, Tolvaptan, and ERK1/2 Phosphorylation in the Renal Collecting Duct

Project description:Activation of ERK1 and ERK2 is essential in regulation of a wide variety of cellular and physiological processes. In native inner medullary collecting ducts, vasopressin (AVP) working through the V2 subtype vasopressin receptor (V2R)-mediated activation of Gαs, inhibits ERK1 and ERK2 activity. However, it has been reported that V2R can signal independently of Gαs through the activation of β-arrestin, which activates ERK1 and ERK2. Vaptans, V2R antagonists that function as so-called “inverse agonists”, have the potential of promoting cell proliferation via β-arrestin-dependent ERK activation. Here we use the mpkCCD cell line which natively expresses V2R to investigate the effects of AVP, the V2-selective analog dDAVP, and tolvaptan on ERK1 and ERK2 phosphorylation and activation. We demonstrated that ERK1 and ERK2 phosphorylation in mpkCCD cells was significantly reduced by either AVP or dDAVP, in contrast to the increases seen in non-collecting duct cells overexpressing V2R. We also found that tolvaptan has a strong effect to increase ERK1 and ERK2 phosphorylation in the presence of dDAVP and that the tolvaptan effect to increase ERK1 and ERK2 phosphorylation is absent in PKA-null mpkCCD cells. Thus, it appears that the tolvaptan effect to increase ERK activation is PKA-dependent and, therefore, not mediated by the β-arrestin pathway. Overall, the studies show that AVP decreases and that tolvaptan increases ERK1 and ERK2 activation in cells expressing V2R at endogenous levels, and provide no evidence for a role for β-arrestin in the regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 activity.

Transcription profiling of ERK1 and ERK2 knockdown in zebrafish embryos at blastula stage

Project description:ERK1 and ERK2 MAPKs are intensively studied signaling proteins that are involved in numerous cellular processes and signaling networks. However, their specific functions in embryonic development remain elusive. The upstream activation pathways for ERK1 and ERK2 are considered to be highly similar, and also many of their downstream targets are considered as common, but still relatively few in vivo downstream targets of these kinases have been identified conclusively. Recent mice studies indicate distinct roles for both ERKs in cellular proliferation, oncogenic transformation and development. <br><br>Microarray experiments were performed to compare morpholino mediated knockdown of ERK1 versus ERK2 in zebrafish development. These two conditions were compared to a standard control morpholino condition. To exclude possible effects of the control morpholino at a transcriptional level, we also performed the transciptome-analysis of the control morpholino, to an injection control (injection with phenol red).

Expression profiling of MAPK inhibition in WM266-4 BRAF V600D mutant melanoma cell line

Project description:Extracellular signal regulated kinases, ERK1 and ERK2 are often considered as redundant due to their high homology, large number of overlapping substrates, and ability to substitute for each other in genetically engineered mouse models. We have investigated the individual contribution of ERK1 and ERK2 to the survival of human melanoma cell lines driven by oncogenic BRAF. ERK2, but not ERK1 activity, was crucial to drive survival and maintain transcriptional output of the MAPK pathway. Furthermore, we found that ERK2 DEF-domain interactions were crucial for transcriptional regulation and survival in some cells, but not in others, whereas ERK2-substrate interactions at the D-docking motif were largely dispensable. We used microarrays to examine the global impact of gene expression by imhibiting different nodes of MAPK pathway.

Gene Expression Profile identify a role for cyclooxygenase 2-depedent prostinoid generation in BMP6-induced

Project description:The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family of proteins participates in an underappreciated signaling pathway involved in regulating angiogensis in physiological and pathological conditions. Microarray profiles of BMP-responsive genes in the endothelium performed by our lab suggest important roles for cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox2) as a potential downstream regulator of BMP-induced angiogenesis. Cox2 is upregulated by BMP6 at both mRNA and protein levels. Inhibition of Cox2 blocks BMP6 induced endothelial cell proliferation, migration and tube formation activity. Microvessel outgrowth stimulated by BMP6 also required Cox2 activity. These results strongly support that Cox2 is an important downstream target for BMP6, and that prostaniod synthesis is essential for BMP6 induced endothelial cell activation. This further suggests that our microarray data is a reliable tool to identify unkown BMP6 targets in angiogenesis. Keywords: BMP, angiogenesis, Cox2, MEC

Expression Data from Ets1/2 WT, Ets1KO, Ets2KO and Ets1/2 DKO endothelial cells

Project description:Angiogenesis is a highly orchestrated process involving complex crosstalk between several endothelial cell (EC) processes including cell cycle, cell survival and migration. Transcription factors ETS1 and ETS2 are required for EC functions necessary for embryonic angiogenesis. However owing to the lethal nature of the double mutant embryo, the specific gene targets of these factors are yet to be identified. In the current study, we try to elucidate the effect of endothelial cell specific deletion of Ets1 and Ets2 on post natal angiogenesis and characterize the downstream regulatory pathways. Deletion of Ets1 and Ets2, restricted to endothelial cells in new born mice (P1-P3), reduced retinal angiogenesis. Similarly, EC infiltration and invasion into matrigel plugs subsided when matrigel admixed with mouse mammary tumor cells was injected into adult mice with inactivated Ets1 and Ets2 specifically in ECs. Expression of key cell cycle and cell survival regulators were diminished in double mutant cells as compared to controls. In addition, both these factors were found to occupy the enhancer regions of the target genes. Deletion of Ets1 and Ets2 in cultured aortic EC resulted in altered cell cycle phases with a G2/M phase arrest and increased sensitivity to apoptosis in vitro. These results demonstrate that deletion of Ets1 and Ets2 in endothelial cells inhibits angiogenesis by altering cell cycle progression and decreasing cell survival.
