The mechanosensory channel Piezo1 Triggers Angiopoietin-Tie Signaling in the Lymphatics

ABSTRACT: Angiopoietin-Tie1 signaling is required for lymphatic vascular integrity and both ANGPT2 and TIE1 genetic variants have been associated with lymphedema in patients1, 2. Concurrent with growth-factor signaling, mechanical forces sensed by lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) are also needed to regulate lymphatics3, 4. How these two pathways might interact in the lymphatic system is unknown. Here, we identified a regulatory network in LECs linking activation of the mechanosensory channel, PIEZO1 to Angiopoietin-Tie signaling and repression of a downstream FOXO1 transcriptional response. RNAseq analysis of dermal LECs from Tie1-deficient embryos showed persistent FOXO1 activity with downregulation of LEC-associated genes including Ccl21a, Foxc2, Gata2 and Gja4, as well as increased expression of the mechanosensory channel, Piezo1. Activation of PIEZO1 in human dermal LECs (HDLECs) by the small molecule agonist, Yoda1, triggered exocytosis of the Tie ligand, Angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2), activation of Tie/AKT/PI3K signaling and export of FOXO1 out of the nucleus. Our data identify a novel molecular pathway linking mechano-transduction to ANGPT2-Tie1 activity and dynamic modulation of FOXO1 activity needed for patterning and function of the lymphatic system

Transcriptional profiles of venous and lymphatic endothelial cells from tie1 mutant zebrafish

Project description:To investigate what kind of gene expression is regulated downstream of Tie1 signaling, we performed RNA-seq analyses on venous and lymphatic endothelial cells (ECs) between homozygous tie1 mutant embryos and their wild-type and heterozygous siblings during secondary sprouting, respectively. Our analyses indicate that Tie1 signaling controls a series of gene expression involved in lymphatic development including EC migration, proliferation, and differentiation.

Metabolomics revealed the influence of breast cancer on lymphatic endothelial cell metabolism, metabolic crosstalk, and lymphangiogenic signaling in co-culture

Project description:<p>Breast cancer metastasis occurs via blood and lymphatic vessels. Breast cancer cells 'educate' lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) to support tumor vascularization and growth. However, despite known metabolic alterations in breast cancer, it remains unclear how lymphatic endothelial cell metabolism is altered in the tumor microenvironment and its effect in lymphangiogenic signaling in LECs. We analyzed metabolites inside LECs in co-culture with MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and SK-BR-3 breast cancer cell lines using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) metabolomics, Seahorse, and the spatial distribution of metabolic co-enzymes using optical redox ratio imaging to describe breast cancer-LEC metabolic crosstalk. LECs co-cultured with breast cancer cells exhibited cell-line dependent altered metabolic profiles, including significant changes in lactate concentration in breast cancer co-culture. Cell metabolic phenotype analysis using Seahorse showed LECs in co-culture exhibited reduced mitochondrial respiration, increased reliance on glycolysis and reduced metabolic flexibility. Optical redox ratio measurements revealed reduced NAD(P)H levels in LECs potentially due to increased NAD(P)H utilization to maintain redox homeostasis. 13C-labeled glucose experiments did not reveal lactate shuttling into LECs from breast cancer cells, yet showed other 13C signals in LECs suggesting internalized metabolites and metabolic exchange between the two cell types. We also determined that breast cancer co-culture stimulated lymphangiogenic signaling in LECs, yet activation was not stimulated by lactate alone. Increased lymphangiogenic signaling suggests paracrine signaling between LECs and breast cancer cells which could have a pro-metastatic role.</p>

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.

Transcriptional profiling of ex vivo isolated inflammed mouse lymphatic endothelial cells

Project description:Chemokines and adhesion molecules upregulated in lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) during tissue inflammation are believed to enhance dendritic cell (DC) migration to draining lymph nodes (dLNs), but the in vivo control of this process is not well understood. By performing transcriptional profiling of LECs isolated from murine skin, we found that inflammation induced by a contact hypersensitivity (CHS) response upregulated the adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 and inflammatory chemokines in LECs. Furthermore, lymphatic lineage markers like Prox-1, VEGFR3 and LYVE-1 were significantly downregulated during CHS. By contrast, skin inflammation induced by Complete FreundM-bM-^@M-^Ys adjuvant (CFA) induced a different pattern of chemokine and lymphatic marker gene expression and almost no ICAM-1 up-regulation in LECs. In FITC painting experiments, DC migration to dLNs was more strongly increased in CFA- as compared to CHS-induced inflammation. Interestingly, DC migration did not correlate with the induction of CCL21 and ICAM-1 in LECs. However, the requirement for CCR7 signaling became further pronounced during inflammation, whereas CCR7-independent signals only had a minor role in enhancing DC migration. Collectively, these findings indicate that inflammation-induced DC migration is stimulus-dependent and only moderately enhanced by LEC-induced genes other than CCL21. Mouse ear skin single-cell suspensions were prepared by a fast protocol that minimizes the RNA degradation. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) was used to sort lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) from CHS inflammed and control skin. 4 pairs (each with one control and one CHS inflammed sample, sorted and extracted on the same day) of LECs were chosen based on the quality of extracted and amplified material. This gave 8 samples to analyze (4 biological replicates in each condition). Each sample was sorted from 3 mice.

Activated Notch-induced transcriptional profile modulation in human primary dermal lymphatic endothelial cells

Project description:Human Notch1 intracellular domain (NICD) was overexpressed in human primary lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) for 10 and 24 hours by adenovirus. A GFP-control adenovirus-infected cells (24hours) and uninfected cells were also analysed as controls. Total RNAs were harvested and subjected to Affymetrix U133A microarray. Human primary lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) were isolated from human foreskin and cultured and expanded to population passages 5~6. Healthy subconfluent primary LECs were infected with adenovirus expressing human Notch1 intracellular domain (NICD) for 10 or 24 hours. In parallel, LECs were also infected with a GFP-expressing control adenovirus for 24 hours. Uninfected LECs were also used as a negative control in the same experiments

Single-cell transcriptomics of mouse lung lymphatic endothelial cells

Project description:Fluid clearance mediated by lymphatic vessels is known to be essential for lung inflation and gas exchange function during the transition from prenatal to postnatal life, yet the molecular mechanisms that regulate lymphatic function remain unclear. Here, we profiled the molecular features of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) in embryonic and postnatal day (P) 0 lungs by single-cell RNA-seq analysis. We identified that the expression of c-JUN is transiently upregulated in P0 LECs. Conditional knockout of Jun in LECs impairs the opening of lung lymphatic vessels at birth, leading to fluid retention in the lungs and neonatal death. We further demonstrated that increased mechanical pressure induces the expression of c-JUN in LECs. c-JUN regulates the opening of lymphatic vessels by modulating remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton in LECs. Our study established the essential regulatory function of c-JUN-mediated transcriptional responses in facilitating lung lymphatic fluid clearance at birth.
