CD44 connects autophagy decline and aging in the vascular endothelium

ABSTRACT: The decline of endothelial autophagy is closely related to vascular senescence and disease, although the molecular mechanisms connecting these outcomes in vascular endothelial cells (VECs) remain unclear. Here, we identify a crucial role for CD44, a multifunctional adhesion molecule, in controlling autophagy and aging in VECs. The CD44 intercellular domain (CD44ICD) negatively regulates autophagy by reducing PIK3R4 and PIK3C3 levels and disrupting STAT3-dependent PtdIns3K complexes. CD44 and its homologue clec-31 are increased in aging vascular endothelium and Caenorhabditis elegans, respectively, suggesting that an age-dependent increase in CD44 induces autophagy decline and aging phenotypes. Accordingly, CD44 knockdown ameliorates age-associated phenotypes in VECs. The endothelium-specific CD44ICD knock-in mouse is shorter-lived, with VECs exhibiting obvious premature aging characteristics associated with decreased basal autophagy. Autophagy activation suppresses the premature aging of human and mouse VECs overexpressing CD44ICD, function conserved in the CD44 homologue clec-31 in C. elegans. Our work describes a mechanism coordinated by CD44 function bridging autophagy decline and aging.

Efficient direct reprogramming of c-Kit− mature amniotic cells into endothelial cells by ETS factors and TGFβ suppression

Project description:ETS transcription factors ETV2, FLI1 and ERG1 specify pluripotent stem cells into endothelial cells (PSC-ECs). However, these PSC-ECs are unstable and often drift towards non-vascular cell fates. We show that human mid-gestation c-Kit- lineage-committed amniotic cells (ACs) can be reprogrammed into induced vascular endothelial cells (rAC-VECs). Transient ETV2 expression in ACs generated immature iVECs, while co-expression with FLI1/ERG1 endowed rAC-VECs with a vascular repertoire and morphology matching mature ECs. Brief TGFb-inhibition functionalizes VEGFR2 signaling, augmenting specification of ACs into rAC-VECs. Genome-wide transcriptional analyses showed that rAC-VECs are similar to adult ECs in which vascular-specific genes are expressed and non-vascular genes are silenced. Functionally, rAC-VECs form stable vasculature in Matrigel plugs and regenerating livers. Thus, short-term ETV2 expression and TGFb-inhibition along with constitutive ERG1/FLI1 co-expression reprogram mature ACs into generic rAC-VECs with clinical-scale expansion potential. Public banking of HLA-typed rAC-VECs would establish a vascular inventory for treatment of genetically diverse disorders.

Differential miRNA expression profiles of human vascular endothelial cells (VECs) between Type-I pro-proliferative/pro-stenotic VECs and Type-II anti-proliferative/anti-stenotic VECs [Agilent-046064]

Project description:Human VECs are categorized into two groups according to their effects on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (in vitro) and the induction of stenosis in endothelia-removed arteries after transplantation (In vivo): pro-proliferative/pro-stenotic (Type-I) virsus anti-proliferative/anti-stenotic (Type-II) VECs. Since RGS5, which is a master gene responsible for aging- and oxidative stress-dependent Type-II to Type-I conversion, is the only protein-coding gene that shows differential expression profiles between Type-I and Type-II VECs, non-coding RNAs including miRNA should be working at the downstream of RGS5 for quality control of VECs.

Age-dependent modulation the microvasculature by human microenvironment and serum

Project description:The functional decline of the vascular niches is linked to several disorders, including neurodegeneration and bone loss. However, the causes of this decline are poorly understood. A key signature of aging is the progressive damage of the microvasculature, but a clear picture of its determinants and therapeutic targets in a human context is lacking. We designed/validated a novel approach based on long-living human microvascular networks to study the age-dependent modulation of the endothelium by microenvironment and serum. Young fibroblasts restored the barrier function of aged endothelial cells, an effect counteracted by old serum. Among the involved factors, ANGPTL4 played a key role in restoring cell-cell junctions and vascular barrier. Once validated, we employed this strategy to identify potential targets involved in the degeneration of the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) in Alzheimer Disease (AD) patients. Using serum from AD as well as from age-matched healthy donors, we demonstrated that PTP4A3 played a critical role in the regulation of vascular permeability and that its inhibition restored the functionality of the BBB exposed to serum from AD patients. We believe our strategy will be an invaluable tool to identify and therapeutically modulate the aging signature of the endothelium in the context of age-related diseases.

Aged vascular niche hinders osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells through paracrine repression of Wnt-axis

Project description:Age-induced decline in osteogenic potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) potentiates osteoporosis and increases risk for bone fractures. Despite epidemiology studies reporting concurrent development of vascular- and bone diseases in the elderly, the underlying mechanisms for the vascular-bone cross-talk in aging are largely unknown. In this study, we show that accelerated endothelial aging deteriorates bone tissue through paracrine repression of Wnt-driven-axis in BMSCs. Here, we utilize physiologically aged mice in conjunction with our transgenic endothelial progeria mouse model (Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome; HGPS) that displays hallmarks of an aged bone marrow vascular niche. We find bone defects associated with diminished BMSC osteogenic differentiation that implicate the existence of angiocrine factors with long-term inhibitory effects. microRNA-transcriptomics of HGPS-patient plasma combined with aged-vascular niche analyses in progeria mice reveal abundant secretion of Wnt-repressive microRNA-31-5p. Moreover, we show that inhibition of microRNA-31-5p as well as selective Wnt-activator CHIR99021 boost the osteogenic potential of BMSCs through de-repression and activation of the Wnt-signalling, respectively. Our results demonstrate that the vascular niche significantly contributes to osteogenesis defects in aging and pave ground for microRNA-based therapies of bone loss in elderly.

Comparison between type-I vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and type-II VECs

Project description:Human VECs are categorized into two groups regarding their effects on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs):type-I, pro-proliferative VECs and type-II anti-proliferative VECs. The effects of VECs on VSMC proliferation were quantitatively assessed according to the following method: human aortic smooth muscle cells, which were stained by PKH-26 in advance, were cultured on the layer of CFSE-stained VECs, and VSMC proliferation were evaluated after four days by flow cytometry analyses using ModFit LTM-bM-^DM-" software (Verity Software House Inc., Topsham, ME). Commercially available primary human VECs including HUVEC, HAEC and HMVEC as well as the majority of endothelial progenitor cell (EPC)-derived VECs (EPCdECs), whether EPCs were obtained from adult or fetal tissues, enhanced VSMC proliferation, showing type-I phenotype. EPCdECs of minor donors including EPC1dEC suppressed VSMC proliferation, showing type-II phenotype. However, type-II VECs turned into type-I VECs after a few rounds of subcultures. Comparative analyses on gene expression profiles between type-I VECs and type-II VECs revealed that regulator of G-protein signaling 5 (RGS5) was the only gene that showed the discriminative expression pattern: high expressions in type-I VECs and low expressions in type-II VECs. Totally six samples of type-I VECs (HUVEC, HAEC, HMVEC, EPC1dEC[P12], UCEPC1dEC, EPC2dEC[P7]) and two samples of type-II VECs (EPC1dEC[P7] and EPC1dEC[P7] purchased at a different time point) were subjected to the analyses.

Effects of differences in donors and passage numbers of endothelial progenitor cell (EPC)-derived vascular endothelial cells (VECs) on the phenotype determination of VECs (type-I versus type-II).

Project description:EPC-derived VECs (EPCdECs) are categorized into two group according to their effects on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells: type-I pro-proliferative VECs and type-II anti-proliferative VECs. Type-II EPCdECs were converted to type-I VECs by repetitive subcultures. Not only subculture-dependent cellular stresses but also donor differences greatly affect the phenotype determination of VECs. By comparing the gene expression profiles of type-II EPCdEC of the first donor (EPC1dEC) at early passage and those of type-II EPC1dEC at late passage and EPCdEC of the second donor at early passage, characteristic gene expression patterns that discriminate Type-I and type-II EPCdECs will be comprehended. Totally three samples of type-I EPC-derived VECs (EPC1dEC[P12], EPC2dEC[P7]) and type-II EPC-derived VEC (EPC1dEC[P7]) were subjected to the analyses.

Genome-wide analysis of gene expression in VECs and CFs after co-culture

Project description:The gene expression in vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and circulating fibrocytes (CFs) was tested either culturing alone or co-cultured. Our previous study showed that CFs inhibit both proliferation and apoptosis of VECs. In this present study, we co-cultured CFs and VECs in Transwell and tested the gene expression in CFs and VECs in order to delight the mechanism under which CFs affect the proliferation and apoptosis of VECs.
