Endothelial cell response in Kawasaki disease and Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children

ABSTRACT: Abstract: Although Kawasaki disease (KD) and Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) share some clinical manifestations, their cardiovascular outcomes are different, and this may be reflected at the level of the endothelial cell (EC). We performed RNA-seq on cultured ECs incubated with pre-treatment sera from KD (n=5), MIS-C (n=7), and healthy controls (n=3). We conducted Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) using 935 transcripts differentially expressed between MIS-C and KD using soft filtering (un-adjusted p<0.05, >1.1 fold difference). We found seven gene modules annotated as increased TNFα/NFB pathway, decreased Endothelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EndoMT) and EC homeostasis, an-ti-inflammation and immune response, translation, and glucocorticoid responsive gene suppression in MIS-C. To further understand the difference in the EC response between KD and MIS-C, a hard filter was applied to identify 41 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between KD and MIS-C (adjusted p<0.05, >2 fold-difference). Again, the majority was NFB pathway genes including nine upregulated pro-survival genes. Expression levels were higher in the genes influencing autophagy (UBD, EBI3, and SQSTM1). Other DEGs also supported the finding by WGCNA. Compared to KD, ECs in MIS-C had increased pro-survival transcripts, but reduced transcripts related to EndoMT and EC homeostasis. These differences in EC response may in-fluence the different cardiovascular outcomes in these two diseases.

Reassessing endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition in postnatal mouse bone marrow using single-cell RNA sequencing

Project description:Conflicting reports exist on whether endothelial cells (ECs) serve as a source of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). In studies concerning the endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT), ECs expressing mesenchymal markers, as well as BMSCs expressing endothelial markers, are typically considered intermediates of EndoMT. To understand the lineage relationship between ECs and BMSCs in postnatal mouse bone marrow, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on ECs and BMSCs obtained from 5-week-old wild-type C57BL/6J mice, and analyzed the potential intermediates of EndoMT. Subsequently, BMSC and EC lineage tracing models, flow cytometry, and immunostaining techniques were used to validate the findings from scRNA-seq analysis.

Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) mediates inflammation and endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) in the vascular remodeling of angiotensin (Ang) II -induced abdominal aortic aneurysm

Project description:Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is one of the most common fatal macrovascular diseases worldwide which generates huge economic burdens on humanity. Regretfully, the pathogenesis of AAA is still not well clarified. In our study, 10×single-cell sequencing revealed that endothelial cells (ECs) dysfunction and endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) appeared in progress of angiotensin (Ang)-II induced AAA. Three different types of ECs, including Mature ECs, EndoMT ECs and Injury & inflammation ECs successively appeared during the progression of AAA. Compared with Mature ECs, EndoMT ECs and Injury & inflammation ECs had stronger extracellular matrix synthesis function and lower metabolic level. Transcription factor analysis revealed that interferon regulatory factor 6 (Irf6) and homeobox A9 (Hoxa9) may be the critical regulons in Injury & inflammation ECs. According pseudotime trajectory and KEGG enrichment analysis, we speculated bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) regulated EndoMT, thus participating in Ang II-induced AAA. Our study represented BMP4 promotes phenotypic transition, cell migration and invasion of ECs by PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways in vitro. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) revealed that biglycan (BGN), a kind of small leucine-rich proteoglycan, directly combined with BMP4, which enhanced conversion degree of EndoMT. BMP4 reprogrammed ECs from anti-inflammatory to proinflammatory phenotype, which eventually led to AAA.

Quiescent endothelial cells upregulate fatty acid β-oxidation for vasculoprotection via redox homeostasis

Project description:Little is known about metabolic changes accompanying endothelial cell (EC) quiescence. Nonetheless, when dysfunctional, quiescent ECs (QECs) contribute to multiple cardiovascular diseases. ECs need fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) for proliferation. Surprisingly, we now report that QECs are not hypo-metabolic, but upregulate FAO >3-fold higher than proliferating ECs (PECs), not to support biomass or energy production, but to sustain the TCA cycle for redox homeostasis through NADPH production. Hence, inhibition of FAO-controlling CPT1A promotes EC dysfunction (anti-fibrinolysis, leukocyte infiltration, barrier disruption) by increasing oxidative stress in CPT1AΔEC mice with endothelial CPT1A loss. Mechanistically, Notch1 orchestrates the use of FAO for redox balance in QECs. Supplementation of acetate (metabolized to acetyl-CoA) induces vasculoprotection against oxidative stress and EC dysfunction in CPT1AΔEC mice, possibly creating therapeutic opportunities. Thus, ECs use FAO for vasculoprotection against their high oxygen (oxidative stress-prone) milieu, and for different metabolic purposes dependent on their proliferation versus quiescence status.

Intermittent and sustained hypoxia exposures activate distinct transcriptional responses in human aortic endothelial cells

Project description:Endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction precedes the development of cardiovascular disease in OSA; however, the mechanisms by which ECs respond to these hypoxic events is poorly understood. To better understand EC responses to hypoxia, we examined the effects of both sustained hypoxia (SH) and intermittent hypoxia (IH) on the activation of HIF-1α in Endothelial Cells (ECs). While SH stabilized HIF-1α and led to its nuclear localization, IH didn’t activate HIF-1α and its downsteram gene expression. Using RNA-sequencing, we evaluated transcriptional responses of ECs to hypoxia. SH induced expression of HIF-1α and hypoxia response genes, while IH affected cell-cycle regulation genes.

Analysis of Combined Transcriptomes Identifies Gene Modules Differentially Responding to Pathogenic Stimulation in Vascular Smooth Muscle and Endothelial Cells

Project description:Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) constitute vasculature media and endothelium, respectively. Current treatments for cardiovascular disease inhibit SMC hyperplasia but also damage the protective endothelial lining, predisposing patients to thrombosis. Therapeutics targeting SMCs without collateral damage to ECs are highly desirable. However, differential (SMCs versus ECs) disease-associated regulations remain poorly defined. We conducted RNA-seq experiments to investigate SMC-versus-EC differential transcriptomic dynamics, following treatment of human primary SMCs and ECs with TNFα or IL-1β, both established inducers of SMC hyperplasia and EC dysfunction. To analyze combined SMC/EC transcriptomes we developed customized algorithms. Induced by TNFα or IL-1β, 212 and 263 genes respectively showed greater up-regulation in SMCs than in ECs (SMC-enriched), while 140 and 204 genes showed greater up-regulation in ECs over SMCs (EC-enriched). Analysis of gene interaction networks identified 5 common hubs and 4 common bottlenecks in the two SMC-enriched gene sets, and 8 hubs and 3 bottlenecks shared in the EC-enriched gene sets. Significantly, four gene modules were formed with these hubs and bottlenecks. While the JUN module (including JUN, KLF5, HIF1A, CXCL8, FOSL1) and FYN module (FYN, JAK2, MAP2, PIK3R3, DAB2, ASAP2) were SMC-enriched, the SMAD3 (SMAD3, CDKN1A, TRAF1, BCL6, CEBPD, TRIB3, ANK3) and XPO1 (XPO1, ETS2, SSH2, NDRG1, GFPT2?) modules were EC-enriched. As these core subnetworks respond to pathogenic stimulation in a SMC-versus-EC differential manner, they may inform potential intervention targets for selective mitigation of SMC hyperplasia without endothelial damage.

RAMP2-AS1 Regulates Endothelial Homeostasis and Aging

Project description:The homeostasis of vascular endothelium is crucial for cardiovascular health and endothelial cell (EC) aging and dysfunction could negatively impact vascular function. Leveraging time-series transcriptomic data obtained from endothelial cells (ECs) subjected to physiological pulsatile flow versus pathophysiological oscillatory flow, we performed principal component analysis (PCA) to identify key genes contributing to divergent transcriptional states of ECs under distinct flow patterns. Through bioinformatics analysis, we identified that a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) RAMP2- AS1 encoded on the antisense of RAMP2, a determinant of endothelial homeostasis and vascular integrity, is a novel regulator essential for EC homeostasis and function. Knockdown of RAMP2-AS1 inhibited EC angiogenesis and promoted EC senescence, as a result of extensive changes of EC transcriptome. Our study demonstrates an integrative approach to quantifying EC aging based on transcriptome changes, which also identified a number of novel regulators, including protein-coding genes and many lncRNAs involved EC functional modulation.

A single cell transcriptome atlas of murine endothelial cells

Project description:The heterogeneity of endothelial cells (ECs), lining blood vessels, across tissues remains incompletely inventoried. We constructed an atlas of >32,000 single-EC transcriptomic data from 11 tissues of the model organism Mus musculus. We propose a new classification of EC phenotypes based on transcriptome signatures and inferred putative biological features. We identified top-ranking markers for ECs from each tissue. ECs from different vascular beds (arteries, capillaries, veins, lymphatics) resembled each other across tissues, but only arterial, venous and lymphatic (not capillary) ECs shared markers, illustrating a greater heterogeneity of capillary ECs. We identified high-endothelial-venule and lacteal-like ECs in the intestines, and angiogenic ECs in healthy tissues. Metabolic transcriptomes of ECs differed amongst spleen, lung, liver, brain and testis, while being similar for kidney, heart, muscle and intestines. Within tissues, metabolic gene expression was heterogeneous amongst ECs from different vascular beds, altogether highlighting large EC heterogeneity.

Endothelial cell heterogeneity in pathological angiogenesis characterized by metabolic transcriptome diversity

Project description:Endothelial cell (EC) metabolism is an emerging target for anti-angiogenic therapy in tumor and choroidal neovascularization (CNV), but little is known about individual EC metabolic transcrip-tomes. Here, by scRNA-sequencing 28,337 murine choroidal ECs (CECs) and sprouting CNV-ECs, we constructed a taxonomy to characterize their heterogeneity. Comparison with murine lung tumor ECs (TECs) revealed congruent marker gene expression by distinct EC phenotypes across tissues and diseases, suggesting similar angiogenic mechanisms. Trajectory inference of CNV-ECs revealed that differentiation of venous to angiogenic ECs was accompanied by metabolic transcriptome plasticity. EC phenotypes displayed metabolic transcriptome heterogeneity. Hypothesizing that conserved genes are more important, we used an integrated analysis, based on congruent transcriptome analysis, CEC-tailored genome scale metabolic modeling, and gene expression me-ta-analysis in multiple cross-species datasets, followed by functional validation, to identify the top-ranking metabolic targets SQLE and ALDH18A1, involved in EC proliferation and collagen production, respectively, as novel angiogenic targets.

Pathophysiology of androgen-associated endothelial cell dysfunction in phenotype A polycystic ovarian syndrome revealed by iPSCs modeling

Project description:Abundant evidence suggests that women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have increased metabolic aberrations and cardiovascular risks and present with signs of endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction. However, whether and how androgen is involved in the pathogenesis of EC dysfunction in PCOS remains unclear. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) were established in two PCOS patients and two control participants and further differentiated into ECs via monoculture under chemically defined conditions. Both PCOS patients were phenotype A (present with oligomenorrhea, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovarian morphology) and were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of the iPSC-derived ECs revealed functional differences involving the cell cycle process, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling and apoptosis between the PCOS and control groups. Decreased expression of cell proliferation and cell cycle related genes were noted in the PCOS iPSC-derived ECs. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) treatment significantly enhanced cell proliferation and angiogenic function in the control iPSC-derived ECs. In contrast, significantly deteriorated cell proliferation accompanied with diminished expression of androgen receptor/cyclin-dependent kinase 1/VEGF signaling pathway was shown in the PCOS iPSC-derived ECs after DHT treatment, alongside with impaired angiogenesis demonstrated by the tube formation and wound healing assay. In conclusion, disease-specific iPSCs were successfully established in phenotype A PCOS patients with metabolic syndrome and served as an effective platform for disease modeling in this specific subgroup. Both intrinsic and androgen-induced cellular proliferation and angiogenesis were significantly impaired in the PCOS iPSC-derived ECs, providing new pathogenic evidence for androgen-mediated EC dysfunction and possibly further cardiovascular consequences.

Gene Expression Patterns of Endothelial Cell Network Formation

Project description:Lamellar co-cultures of human aorta-derived smooth muscle cells (SMCs) cultured with cord-blood derived endothelial cells (ECs) are an in vitro model for tissue engineered blood vessels and in-growth of endothelial cells into cardiovascular repair devices. The ratio of endothelial cells to smooth muscle cells can control the EC pattern of growth and differentiation. Low density ECs form capillary-like networks in co-culture with SMCs whereas high density ECs become confluent across the top surface of the SMCs. To understand the molecular mechanisms that govern network formation, used microarray analysis of ECs purified from 1) networks, 2) confluent layers compared to 3) ECs in monoculture.
