Single Cell RNA-sequencing analyasis of mouse glutamatergic myenteric neurons

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to uncover the molecular profile of mouse Vglut2-possitive enteric neurons (VGLUT2-ENs) by single-cell mRNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). Method: We performed scRNA-seq of VGLUT2-ENs from distal intestine extracted from 6-8 weeks mice. We removed the non-neuronal cells, performed Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on the gene expression level of 15 well accepted and curated myenteric neuron markers, and analyzed the expression of the mechanosensitive ion channels. Results: clustering analysis results from PCA on the 15 gene markers indicates a dominant cluster of VGLUT2-ENs; By comparing the expression levels of the mechanosensitive ion channels Piezo1 and Piezo2 in the non-VGLUT2- ENs and VGLUT2-ENs, we find significantly less expression level of piezo1 and piezo2 genes in the VGLUT2-EN population as compared with myenteric neurons negative for VGLUT2. Conclusion: Molecular profiling of VGLUT2-ENs through single-cell mRNA sequencing unveiled a unique expression profile, distinguishing them from typical interneurons. Additionally, VGLUT2-ENs displayed minimal expression of mechanosensitive ion channels (Piezo1 and Piezo2), setting them apart from mechanosensitive interneurons.

A critical role of the mechanosensor PIEZO1 in glucose-induced insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells

Project description:PIEZO1 is a mechanosensitive ion channel involved in the regulation of a diverse range of physiological responses. We examined the role of the mechanosensor ion channel PIEZO1 in glucose-induced insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. PIEZO1 expression is elevated in β-cells from human donors with type-2 diabetes (T2D) and a rodent T2D model (db/db 48 mouse). Silencing of Piezo1 inhibits glucose-induced Ca2+ signaling and insulin secretion. PIEZO1 translocates from the cytosol and plasmalemma into the nucleus in cells cultured at high glucose, experimental conditions emulating diabetes. The translocation of PIEZO1 into the nucleus in response to hyperglycemia suggests that PIEZO1 might be involved in transcriptional control in addition to serving as a mechanosensor in the plasma membrane. To address this, we performed mRNA sequencing in INS-1 832/13 cells to determine which genes are regulated by Piezo channels. Overall, we found 3292, 1656, and 1920 genes were significantly differentially expressed after silencing Piezo1, Piezo2, or both genes (adj.p-value < 0.05). Among these, the expression of the gene encoding cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (Cartpt) was increased >15-fold. We confirmed this effect by qPCR, which indicated a corresponding stimulation of expression. In insulin-secreting INS-1 832/13 cells, Cart has been reported to influence the expression and release of insulin. Thus, the impact of PIEZO1 on β-cell function may not be limited to electrical excitability but these changes are likely to operate on a slower timescale than the acute/electrical effects.

Three-Dimensional Matrix Stiffness Modulates Mechanosensitive and Phenotypic Alterations in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Spheroids

Project description:Extracellular biophysical cues such as matrix stiffness are key stimuli tuning cell fate and affecting tumor progression in vivo. However, it remains unclear how spheroids in a 3D microenvironment perceive matrix mechanical stiffness stimuli and translate them into intracellular signals driving cancer. Mechanosensitive Piezo1 and TRPV4 ion channels, upregulated in many malignancies, are major transducers of such physical stimuli into biochemical responses. Most mechanotransduction studies probing the reception of changing stiffness cues by cells are, however, still limited to 2D culture systems or cell-extracellular matrix models which lack the major cell-cell interactions prevalent in 3D cancer tumors. Here, we engineered a 3D spheroid culture environment with varying mechanobiological properties to study the effect of static matrix stiffness stimuli on mechanosensitive and malignant phenotypes in oral squamous cell carcinoma spheroids. We find that spheroid growth is enhanced when cultured in stiff extracellular matrix. Using flow cytometry, we show that the expression of mechanoreceptor Piezo1 and stemness marker CD44 is upregulated in stiff matrix. We also report the upregulation of a selection of genes with associations to mechanoreception, ion channel transport, extracellular matrix organization, and tumorigenic phenotypes in stiff matrix spheroids. Together, our results indicate that cancer cells in 3D spheroids utilize mechanosensitive ion channels Piezo1 and TRPV4 to sense changes in static extracellular matrix stiffness and that stiffness drives pro-tumorigenic phenotypes in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

PIEZO1 Interactome in HEK cells

Project description:The propeller-shaped blades of the PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 ion channels partition into the plasma membrane and respond to indentation or stretching of the lipid bilayer, thus converting mechanical forces into signals that can be interpreted by cells, in the form of calcium flux and changes in membrane potential. While PIEZO channels participate in diverse physiological processes, from sensing the shear stress of blood flow in the vasculature to detecting a light touch on the surface of the skin, the molecular details that enable these mechanosensors to tune their responses over a vast dynamic range of forces remain largely uncharacterized. To survey the molecular landscape surrounding PIEZO channels at the cell surface, we employed a mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach to capture and identify extracellularly exposed proteins in the vicinity of PIEZO1. This PIEZO1-proximal interactome was enriched in surface proteins localized to cell junctions and signaling hubs within the plasma membrane. Functional screening of these interaction candidates by calcium imaging and electrophysiology in an overexpression system identified the adhesion molecule CADM1/SynCAM that slows the inactivation kinetics of PIEZO1 with little effect on PIEZO2. Conversely, we found that CADM1 knockdown accelerates inactivation of endogenous PIEZO1 in Neuro-2a cells. Systematic deletion of CADM1 domains indicate that the transmembrane region is critical for the observed effects on PIEZO1, suggesting that modulation of inactivation is mediated by interactions in or near the lipid bilayer.

Piezo1 channels restrain ILC2s and regulate the development of airway hyperactivity [piezo1KO]

Project description:Mechanosensitive ion channels sense force and pressure in immune cells to drive the inflammatory response in highly mechanical organs. Here we report that Piezo1 channels repress group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s)-driven type 2 inflammation in the lungs. Piezo1 is induced on lung ILC2s upon activation, as genetic ablation of Piezo1 in ILC2s increases their function and exacerbates the development of airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Conversely, Piezo1 agonist Yoda1 reduces ILC2-driven lung inflammation. Mechanistically, Yoda1 inhibits ILC2 cytokine secretion and proliferation in a KLF2-dependent manner, as we further found that Piezo1 engagement reduces ILC2 oxidative metabolism. Consequently, in vivo Yoda1 treatment notably reduces the development of AHR in experimental models of ILC2-driven allergic asthma. Human circulating ILC2s express and induce Piezo1 upon activation, as Yoda1 treatment of humanized mice reduces human ILC2-driven AHR. Our studies define Piezo1 as a critical regulator of ILC2s and we propose the potential of Piezo1 activation as a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of ILC2-driven allergic asthma.

The chondrocyte “mechanome”: Activation of the mechanosensitive ion channels TRPV4 and PIEZO1 drives unique transcriptional signatures

Project description:The mechanosensitive ion channels Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) and PIEZO1 transduce physiologic and supraphysiologic magnitudes of mechanical signals in the chondrocyte, respectively. TRPV4 activation promotes chondrogenesis, while PIEZO1 activation by supraphysiologic deformations drives cell death. The mechanisms by which activation of these channels discretely drives changes in gene expression to alter cell behavior remains to be determined. To date, no studies have contrasted the transcriptomic response to activation of these channels, nor has any published data attempted to correlate these transcriptomes to alterations in cellular function. This study used RNA sequencing to comprehensively investigate the transcriptomes associated with activation of TRPV4 or PIEZO1, revealing that TRPV4 and PIEZO drive distinct transcriptomes, but also exhibit unique co-regulated clusters of genes. Notably, activation of PIEZO1 through supraphysiologic deformation induced a transient inflammatory profile that overlapped with the interleukin (IL)-1-responsive transcriptome and contained genes associated with cartilage degradation and osteoarthritis progression. However, both TRPV4 and PIEZO1 were also shown to elicit anabolic effects. PIEZO1 expression promoted a pro-chondrogenic transcriptome under unloaded conditions, and daily treatment with PIEZO1 agonist Yoda1 significantly increased sulfated glycosaminoglycan deposition in vitro. These findings emphasize the presence of a broad “mechanome” with distinct effects of TRPV4 and PIEZO1 activation in chondrocytes, suggesting complex roles for PIEZO1 in both the physiologic and pathologic responses of chondrocytes. The identification of transcriptomic profiles unique to or shared by PIEZO1 and TRPV4 (distinct from IL-1-induced inflammation) could inform future therapeutic designs targeting these channels for the management and treatment of osteoarthritis.

Multisite phosphorylation by protein kinase A mediates modality-specific modulation of PIEZO2

Project description:Protein kinase A is a downstream effector of many inflammatory mediators that induce pain hypersensitivity by increasing the mechanosensitivity of nociceptive sensory afferent. Here we examine the molecular mechanism underlying protein kinase-Adependent modulation of the mechanically-activated ion channel PIEZO2, which confers mechanosensitivity to many nociceptors. Using phosphorylation site prediction algorithms, we identified multiple putative and highly conserved PKA phosphorylation sites located on intracellular intrinsically disordered regions of PIEZO2. Site-directed mutagenesis and patch-clamp recordings showed that substitution of one or multiple putative PKA sites within a single intracellular domains does not alter PKA-induced PIEZO2 sensitization, whereas mutation of a combination of nine putative sites located on four different intracellular regions completely abolishes PKA-dependent PIEZO2 modulation, suggesting that the effect requires multisite phosphorylation. By demonstrating that PIEZO1 is not modulated by PKA, our data also reveals a previously unrecognized functional difference between PIEZO1 and PIEZO2. Moreover, by demonstrating that PKA only modulates PIEZO2 currents evoked by focal mechanical indentation of the cell, but not currents evoked by pressure-induced membrane stretch, we provide evidence suggesting that PIEZO2 is a polymodal mechanosensor that engages different protein domains for detecting different types of mechanical stimuli.

Mechanosensitive ion channel regulates tissue stiffening to promote glioma aggression

Project description:Tissue stiffening is a physical hallmark of solid tumor. In our study, we found that the mechanosensitive ion channel PIEZO1 can be tumor cells force sensor and transducer that regulate the altered tissue mechanics. We examined the transcriptional changes modulated by depletion of PIEZO1 in two human GBM cell lines. We found that with PIEZO1 KD, the components involved in ECM organization, focal adhesion formation, cytoskeleton, and mitosis, which contribute to tissue stiffness, are down-regulated.

Cardiac patch treatment alleviates ischemic cardiomyopathy correlated with unloading pathological stretch and reverting Piezo1/2 expression in left ventricular myocardium

Project description:Pathologically elevated mechanical load promotes the adverse remodeling of left ventricle (LV) post myocardial infarction, which results in the progression from ischemic cardiomyopathy to heart failure. Cardiac patches could attenuate adverse LV remodeling by providing mechanical support to infarcted and border zone myocardium. However, the mechanism of the translation from mechanical effects to favorable therapeutic outcome is still not clear. This study aims to strengthen the foundation of the theory of cardiac patch treatment. By transcriptome analysis, we found that the myocardial transcription levels of mechanosensitive ion channel proteins Piezo1 and Piezo2 significantly increased in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. In vitro tensile tests with local tissue information and finite element modeling revealed a significant decrease in local strain and mechanical load in rat infarcts and sheep LV. Cardiac function and geometry were preserved compared to non-treated control. Further, in LV myocardium of the patch-treated group, MI induced expression levels of Piezo1/2 were significantly reverted to the similar levels of the control group, indicating that Piezo1/2 are key contributors as mechanosensor which initiated the signaling cascade and translated the beneficial mechanical support to therapeutic effects. These findings demonstrated the potential of cardiac patches in treating ICM patients with remodeling risks, and could provide guidance for improvement in next generation of patch devices.

RNA-seq analysis of Piezo1-deficient muscle satellite cells

Project description:Muscle satellite cells (MuSCs), skeletal muscle-resident stem cells, are crucial for regeneration of myofibers. Mechanical cues are thought to be important for activation and proliferation of muscle satellite cells, but the molecular entity that senses biophysical forces in MuSCs remains to be elucidated. In this study, we identified PIEZO1, a mechanosensitive ion channel that is activated by membrane tension, as a critical determinant for myofiber regeneration. We investigated gene profiles of Piezo1-deficient MuSCs to understand the role of PIEZO1 during myogenesis. Our results suggest that PIEZO1 governs the cytoskeletal reorganization to regulate cellular events in MuSCs (i.e., activation, cell-division, and proliferation) during skeletal muscle regeneration.
