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>

Project description:Analysis of ex vivo isolated lymphatic endothelial cells from the dermis of patients to define type 2 diabetes-induced changes. Results preveal aberrant dermal lymphangiogenesis and provide insight into its role in the pathogenesis of persistent skin inflammation in type 2 diabetes. The ex vivo dLEC transcriptome reveals a dramatic influence of the T2D environment on multiple molecular and cellular processes, mirroring the phenotypic changes seen in T2D affected skin. The positively and negatively correlated dLEC transcripts directly cohere to prolonged inflammatory periods and reduced infectious resistance of patients´ skin. Further, lymphatic vessels might be involved in tissue remodeling processes during T2D induced skin alterations associated with impaired wound healing and altered dermal architecture. Hence, dermal lymphatic vessels might be directly associated with T2D disease promotion. Global gene expression profile of normal dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (ndLECs) compared to dermal lymphatic endothelial cells derived from type 2 diabetic patients (dLECs).Quadruplicate biological samples were analyzed from human lymphatic endothelial cells (4 x diabetic; 4 x non-diabetic). subsets: 1 disease state set (dLECs), 1 control set (ndLECs)

Project description:Tissue lymphatic vessels network plays critical roles in immune surveillance and tissue homeostasis in response to pathogen invasion, but how lymphatic system per se is remolded during infection is less understood. Here, we observed that influenza infection induces a significant increase of lymphatic vessel numbers in the lung, accompanied with extensive proliferation of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs). Single-cell RNA sequencing illustrated the heterogeneity of LECs, identifying a novel PD-L1+ subpopulation that is present during viral infection but not at steady state. Specific deletion of Pd-l1 in LECs elevated the expansion of lymphatic vessel numbers during viral infection. Together these findings elucidate a dramatic expansion of lung lymphatic network in response to viral infection, and reveal a PD-L1+ LEC subpopulation that potentially modulates lymphatic vessel remolding.

Project description:Transcriptional enhancer elements are responsible for orchestrating the temporal and spatial control over gene expression that is crucial for programming cell identity during development. Here, we describe a novel enhancer element important for regulating Prox1 expression in lymphatic endothelial cells. This evolutionarily conserved enhancer is bound by key lymphatic transcriptional regulators including GATA2, FOXC2, NFATC1 and PROX1. CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing of this enhancer element revealed that deletion of only 5 nucleotides encompassing the GATA2 binding site has a dramatic impact on lymphatic vascular development; mice homozygous for this deletion die soon after birth exhibiting profound lymphatic vascular defects. Lymphatic endothelial cells in enhancer mutant mice exhibit reduced levels of genes characteristic of lymphatic endothelial cell identity and acquire characteristics of hemogenic endothelium, including the capacity to generate hematopoietic cells. These data reveal the first transcriptional enhancer element important for regulating Prox1 expression and lymphatic endothelial cell identity and suggest that Prox1 is important for repressing hemogenic cell identity in the lymphatic endothelium.

Project description:To observe the global changes in the lymphatic endothelial cells upon exposure to filarial antigens or parasites, LECs were stimulated for 24, 48, and 72hrs and the expression profiles were carried out. Human filarial parasites Brugia malayi and Wuchereria bancrofti habitat the lymphatics and cause lymphatic dilatation and lymphedema. In order to evaluate the effect of various stage specific effects on the lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) and understand how they modulate the lymphatic dysfunction, LECs were stimulated in antigens derived from the Brugia malayi. These are preliminary time course data towards understanding how the filarial antigens induce lymphangiogenesis.

Project description:Lymph nodes (LNs) serve as hubs for the interaction and communication between tissue-derived and blood-derived immune cells. Here we analyzed mouse lymph node (LN) lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) at single cell resolution. Clustering identifies five well-delineated subsets, including two medullary sinus subsets not recognized previously as distinct. Nearest neighbor alignments in trajectory space position the major subsets in a sequence that recapitulates known and suggests novel features of LN lymphatic organization, providing a transcriptional map of the lymphatic endothelial niches and of the transitions between them. Differences in gene expression reveal specialized programs for (1) subcapsular ceiling endothelial interactions with the capsule connective tissue and cells, (2) subcapsular floor regulation of lymph borne cell entry into the LN parenchyma and antigen presentation, and (3) medullary subset specialization for pathogen interactions and LN remodeling. LEC of the subcapsular sinus floor and medulla, which represent major sites of cell entry and exit from the LN parenchyma respectively, respond robustly to oxazolone inflammation challenge with enriched signaling pathways that converge on both innate and adaptive immune responses.
