IKKβ Inhibition Attenuates Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition of Human Stem Cell-Derived Retinal Pigment Epithelium

ABSTRACT: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which is well known for its role in embryonic development, malignant transformation, and tumor progression, has also been implicated in a variety of retinal diseases, including proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy. EMT of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), although important in the pathogenesis of these retinal conditions, is not well understood at the molecular level. We and others have shown that a variety of molecules, including the co-treatment of human stem cell-derived RPE monolayer cultures with transforming growth factor beta (TGF–β) and the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF–α), can induce RPE–EMT; however, small molecule inhibitors of RPE–EMT have been less well studied. Here, we demonstrate that BAY651942, a small molecule inhibitor of nuclear factor kapa-B kinase subunit beta (IKKβ) that selectively targets NF-κB signaling, can modulate TGF–β/TNF–α-induced RPE–EMT. Next, we performed RNA-seq studies on BAY651942 treated hRPE monolayers to dissect altered biological pathways and signaling events. Further, we validated the effect of IKKβ inhibition on RPE–EMT-associated factors using a second IKKβ inhibitor, BMS345541, with RPE monolayers derived from an independent stem cell line. Our data highlights the fact that pharmacological inhibition of RPE–EMT restores RPE identity and may provide a promising approach for treating retinal diseases that involve RPE dedifferentiation and EMT.

Proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis identifies novel liver-related signaling in retinal pigment epithelial cells during epithelial-mesenchymal transition

Project description:Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is associated with several potentially blinding retinal diseases. Proteomic and phosphoproteomic studies were performed on human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived RPE (hiPSC-RPE) monolayers to better understand the pathways mediating RPE EMT. EMT was induced by enzymatic dissociation of RPE monolayers from their culture substrate or by co-treatment with transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) (TGNF). The proteome and phosphoproteome were analyzed at 1 hr post EMT induction to capture early events in kinase/phosphatase signaling cascades and at 12 hrs to define early changes in protein abundance. Pathway enrichment analysis revealed that TGNF and dissociation rapidly perturbed signaling in many of the same pathways, with striking similarity in the phosphoproteome at 1 hr. Surprisingly, functions related to liver cell proliferation and hyperplasia were strongly enriched in the phosphosites altered by both treatments at 1 hr and in protein abundance changes at 12 hrs. Hepatocyte Growth Factor-cMET signaling exhibited the strongest overall enrichment in both treatments. These signaling pathways may serve as suitable targets for the development of therapeutic strategies for the inhibition of RPE EMT, and thus may be targets for inhibiting progression of several debilitating visual diseases.

Transcription profiling of human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell line (ARPE-19) in response to combination treatment of TGF and TNF

Project description:The purpose of this study is to determine the changes in gene expression by a human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell line (ARPE-19) in response to combination treatment of TGF and TNF, which induces phenotypic changes in vitro that mimic the EMT (Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition). For this purpose, total RNA was extracted from TGF and TNF-treated ARPE-19 cells and differential gene expression between each time point (0, 1, 6, 16, 24, 42, and 60 hours) was determined using genechip arrays (Affymetrix, Human Genome U133). Experiment Overall Design: ARPE19 cell lines treated with TGF and TNF for 0, 1, 6, 16, 24, 42, and 60 hour. Each experiment were repeated three times. But 1 hour experiment was repeated two times.

TGF or TNF Time series in ARPE19

Project description:Aberrant epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is involved in pathological processes including fibrotic disorders and cancer invasion and metastasis. Alterations of the cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interaction also contribute to those pathological settings. However, the functional interplay between EMT and cell-ECM interaction is poorly understood. Here, we show that tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, a potent mediator of inflammation, induces EMT-associated fibrosis in retinal pigment epithelial cells, and that this is regulated by hyaluronan (HA)-CD44-Moesin interaction. TNF-alpha elicits both HA synthesis and Moesin phosphorylation through protein kinase C activation, promoting binding of CD44 to the newly synthesized HA. The HA-CD44-Moesin interaction leads to cell-cell dissociation through actin remodeling and increased cellular motility associated with mesenchymal phenotype. Furthermore, we established an in vivo model of TNF-alpha-induced fibrosis in the mouse eye, and the ocular fibrosis was completely suppressed in CD44-null mice. Therefore, HA production and its interaction with CD44 plays essential role in TNF-alpha-induced-EMT, and the interference of the complex formation can be a new strategy for the fibrotic disorders. ARPE19 cell lines were treated with TGF and TNF for 6 and 42 hour. Each experiment were repeated three times. But 1hour experiment was repeated two times. For this submission, total RNA was extracted from TGF- or TNF-treated ARPE-19 cells and differential gene expression between each time point (6 and 42 hours) was determined using genechip arrays (Affymetrix, Human Genome U133).

Proteome landscape of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of retinal pigment epithelium shares commonalities with malignancy-associated EMT

Project description:Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) stress and injury often leads to epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), in which RPE cells lose its cobblestone morphology and acquire more motile and spindle-shaped fibroblast phenotype. RPE dysfunction due to acquired EMT phenotype have been implicated in a number of retinal diseases such as proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), diabetic retinopathy (DR), neovascular (“wet”) and atrophic (“dry”) age-related macular degeneration (AMD). We investigated distinct temporal protein expression changes and signaling events that occur during enzymatically dissociated hRPE EMT model, as well as those that occur up to forty-eight hours after EMT onset. Further, we compared analysis on altered proteome profiling with malignancy associated EMT and AMD models. Together, proteome profiles provide a comprehensive RPE EMT resources for understanding molecular signaling events, associated biological pathways, that underlie RPE-EMT onset and further identifying chemical modulators that could potentially inhibit RPE EMT.

Absent in melanoma 2: a potent suppressor of retinal pigment epithelial-mesenchymal transition and experimental proliferative vitreoretinopathy

Project description:Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a critical and complex process involved in normal embryonic development, tissue regeneration, and tumor progression. It also contributes to retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Although absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) has been linked to inflammatory disorders, autoimmune diseases, and cancers, its role in the EMT of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE-EMT) and retinal diseases remains unclear. The present study demonstrated that AIM2 functions as a potent suppressor of RPE cell proliferation and EMT to maintain retinal homeostasis. Transcriptome analysis using RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) revealed that AIM2 was significantly downregulated in primary human RPE (phRPE) cells undergoing EMT and proliferation. Consequently, Aim2-deficient mice showed morphological changes and increased FN expression in RPE cells under physiological conditions, whereas AIM2 overexpression in phRPE cells inhibited EMT. In a retinal detachment-induced PVR mouse model, AIM2 deficiency promotes RPE-EMT, resulting in severe experimental PVR. Clinical samples further confirmed the downregulation of AIM2 in the PVR membranes from patients. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome analysis revealed that the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway was significantly related to RPE-EMT and that AIM2 inhibited AKT activation in RPE cells by reducing its phosphorylation. Moreover, treatment with eye drops containing an AKT inhibitor alleviated RPE-EMT and the severity of experimental PVR. These findings provide new insights into the complex mechanisms underlying RPE-EMT and PVR pathogenesis, with implications for rational strategies for potential therapeutic applications in PVR by targeting RPE-EMT.
