Aging-regulated TUG1 is dispensable for endothelial cell function

ABSTRACT: The evolutionary conserved Taurine Upregulated Gene 1 (TUG1) is a ubiquitously expressed gene that is one of the highest expressed genes in human and rodent endothelial cells (ECs). We here show that TUG1 expression decreases significantly in aging mouse carotid artery ECs and human ECs in vitro, indicating a potential role in the aging endothelial vasculature system. We therefore investigated if, and how, TUG1 might function in aging ECs, but despite extensive phenotyping found no alterations in basal EC proliferation, apoptosis, barrier function, migration, mitochondrial function, or monocyte adhesion upon TUG1 silencing in vitro. TUG1 knockdown did slightly and significantly decrease cumulative sprout length upon vascular endothelial growth factor A stimulation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), though TUG1-silenced HUVECs displayed no transcriptome-wide mRNA expression changes explaining this effect. Further, ectopic expression of the highly conserved and recently discovered 153 amino acid protein translated from certain TUG1 transcript isoforms did not alter angiogenic sprouting in vitro. Our data show that, despite a high expression and strong evolutionary conservation of both the TUG1 locus and the protein sequence it encodes, TUG1 does not seem to play a major role in basic endothelial cell function.

Long non-coding RNA Tug1 modulates mitochondrial and myogenic responses to exercise in skeletal muscle

Project description:Mitochondrial adaptations play a central role in the beneficial effects of exercise, particularly in metabolically active tissues such as skeletal muscle. Despite this, the molecular regulators of mitochondrial adaptive responses have not yet been fully elucidated. The long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) taurine-upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) interacts with the master transcriptional regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α). In skeletal muscle of young healthy humans (n=14), we observed that TUG1 gene expression was elevated following an acute bout of continuous, moderate intensity cycling exercise and this positively correlated with PPARGC1A gene expression. Therefore, we hypothesised that TUG1 may modulate skeletal muscle mitochondrial responses to exercise. Knockdown (KD) of Tug1 in differentiating mouse myotubes resulted in altered mitochondrial morphology and impaired mitochondrial respiratory function, which was accompanied by greater myosin heavy chain slow isoform protein expression, despite lower Ppargc1a gene and MFN2 protein expression. Tug1 KD prevented the induction of Ppargc1a expression from a Ca2+ mediated stimulus (caffeine) yet the response to an AMPK agonist (AICAR ) was unaffected. RNA-sequencing revealed that Tug1 KD affected genes relating to mitochondrial Ca2+ transport and downstream targets of PGC-1α. Finally, in response to electrical pulse stimulation (EPS), an in vitro model of exercise in myotubes, there were ~300 genes whose upregulation in response to EPS was either blunted or augmented by Tug1 KD, including regulators of muscle differentiation and myogenesis. These data demonstrate that the lncRNA Tug1 is a novel regulator of skeletal muscle transcriptional responses to exercise and myogenesis.

Aging-regulated PNUTS maintains endothelial barrier function via SEMA3B suppression [PNUTS]

Project description:Age-related diseases pose great challenges to health care systems worldwide. During aging, endothelial senescence increases the risk for cardiovascular disease. Recently, it was described that Phosphatase 1 Nuclear Targeting Subunit (PNUTS) has a central role in cardiomyocyte aging and homeostasis. Here, we determined the role of PNUTS in endothelial cell aging. We confirmed that PNUTS is repressed in senescent endothelial cells (ECs). Moreover, PNUTS silencing elicits several of the hallmarks of endothelial aging: senescence, reduced angiogenesis and loss of barrier function. To validate our findings in vivo, we generated an endothelial-specific inducible PNUTS-deficient mouse line (Cdh5-CreERT2;PNUTSfl/fl), termed PNUTSEC-KO. Two weeks after PNUTS deletion, PNUTSEC-KO mice presented severe multiorgan failure and vascular leakage. Transcriptomic analysis of PNUTS-silenced HUVECs and lungs of PNUTSEC-KO mice revealed that the PNUTS-PP1 axis tightly regulates the expression of semaphorin 3B (SEMA3B). Indeed, silencing of SEMA3B completely restored barrier function after PNUTS loss-of-function. These results reveal a pivotal role for PNUTS in endothelial homeostasis through a SEMA3B downstream pathway that provides a potential target against the effects of aging in ECs.

RNA-seq of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated with recombinant Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A) against untreated control

Project description:In order to identify new genes potentially involved in angiogenesis process, we performed a deep-sequencing transcriptome analysis of HUVECs stimulated with recombinant VEGF-A, introducing a difference with respect to the several previous studies. Primary ECs are normally cultured in vitro using an endothelial growth medium (EGM) constituted by an endothelial basal medium (EBM) supplemented with 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and a mix of growth factors and reagents, typically represented by basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF), Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF1), Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), heparin, hydrocortisone, ascorbic acid and the same VEGF-A. In previous studies, HUVECs or other primary ECs were starved in EBM with low FBS concentration before the stimulation with VEGF-A. Instead of starvation, we grown HUVECs in complete EGM-2 medium except for VEGF-A to maintain the best condition for in vitro survival and propagation of primary ECs. After 24 hours of VEGF-A deprivation, VEGF-A was re-added to the medium and the stimulation was performed for six hours.

Genomic maps of TUG1 in human glioma stem cell

Project description:Glioblastomas show heterogeneous histological features. These distinct phenotypic states are thought to be originated by the glioma stem cells (GSCs), which are highly tumorigenic and self-renewing sub-population of tumor cells that have different functional characteristics. We found TUG1, a large non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is highly expressed in GSCs. TUG1 was reported to interact with PRC2 via its exon 2 and represses its target gene expression in trans. In order to identify the genetic loci enriched with TUG1 in GSC, we performed modified RNA pull-down assay coupled with promoter-microarray analysis using BrU-labeled TUG1.

Transcriptional Profliing of small molecules induced endothelial cells of stem cells from apical papilla (SCAP-ECs), stem cells from apical papilla (SCAP) and human vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)

Project description:Recently, a new strategy has been developed to directly reprogram one cell type towards targeted cell type by using different combinations of small molecule compounds. Here we attempted to induce stem cells from apical papilla (SCAP) into endothelial cells (ECs) by the same strategy. We developed a set of small molecules and growth factors that facilitates the conversion of SCAP into stable endothelial lineage. The SCAP-derived endothelial cells (SCAP-ECs) expressed some up-regulated endothelial specific genes and proteins, exhibited the ability to form functional tubular-like structures in vitro, and contributed to generate blood vessels in vivo. The aim of this study is to compare the ECs-related gene profile of SCAP, SCAP-derived ECs and HUVECs (primary ECs) and to explore whether SCAP-derived ECs showed enriched ECs gene expression.

The genome expression profile of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) overexpressing miR-146a

Project description:Endothelial cells are critical for angiogenesis, and microRNAs plays important roles in this process. We investigated the regulatory role of microRNAs in endothelial cells of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by examining the microRNA expression profile of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in the absence or presence of human HCC cells, and identified miR-146a as the most highly up-regulated microRNA. Furthermore, we revealed that miR-146a promoted the expression of platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFRA) in HUVECs, and this process was mediated by BRCA1. Overexpression of PDGFRA in the ECs of HCC tissues was associated with microvascular invasion, and predicted a poorer prognosis. These results suggest that MiR-146a plays a key role in regulating the angiogenic activity of ECs in HCC through miR-146a-BRCA1-PDGFRA pathway. MiR-146a may emerge as a potential anti-angiogenic target on ECs for HCC therapy. We have employed whole genome OneArray to examine the genome expression changes of HUVECs overexpressing miR-146a.

Genome wide map of long noncoding RNA Tug1 binding sites in cultured mouse podocytes

Project description:We generated a genome wide map of instances where the long noncoding RNA, Tug1, binds to DNA in cultured mouse podocytes under normal glucose conditions using Chromatin-RNA Precipitation coupled with high throughput sequencing (ChIRP-Seq) 48 alternating (even, odd) biotynilated probes were designed to span the full length of Tug1 RNA. Chromatin was prepared from gluteraldehyde crosslinked nuclei from early passage podocytes. Chromatin extracts were duplicated with either even or odd probes. Duplicate samples for Input DNA, Even pulldown (PD) and Odd PD DNA was purified following incubation and supplied for Illumina sequencing by ArrayStar (Rockville, MD).
