Mechanosensitive Membrane Domains Regulate Calcium Entry in Arterial Endothelial Cells to Protect Against Inflammation

ABSTRACT: Endothelial cells (ECs) in the descending aorta are exposed to high laminar shear stress, which supports an anti-inflammatory phenotype. High laminar shear stress also supports flow-aligned cell elongation and front-rear polarity, but whether these are required for the anti-inflammatory phenotype is unclear. Here, we show that Caveolin-1-rich microdomains polarize to the downstream end of ECs exposed to continuous high laminar flow. These microdomains are characterized by high membrane rigidity, filamentous actin (F-actin), and raft-associated lipids. Transient receptor potential vanilloid-type 4 (Trpv4) ion channels are ubiquitously expressed on the plasma membrane but mediate localized Ca2+ entry only at these microdomains where they physically interact with clustered Caveolin-1. The resultant focal Ca2+ bursts activate endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) within the confines of these domains. Importantly, we find that signaling at these domains requires both cell body elongation and sustained flow. Finally, Trpv4 signaling at these domains is necessary and sufficient to suppress inflammatory gene expression, and ectopic activation of Trpv4 channels ameliorates the inflammatory response to stimuli both in vitro and in vivo. Our work reveals a novel polarized mechanosensitive signaling hub that dampens inflammatory gene expression in arterial ECs.

Proteomic profiling of hCMEC/D3 cells exposed 3 days to laminar physiological shear stress

Project description:Endothelial cells (ECs) are constantly submitted in vivo to hemodynamical forces derived from the blood circulation, including shear stress (SS). EC are able to detect SS and consequently adapt their phenotype, thus affecting many endothelial functions. If a plethora of shear stress-regulated molecular networks have been described in peripheral EC, less is known about the molecular responses of microvascular brain ECs which constitute the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In this work, we investigated the response of human cerebral microvascular ECs to laminar physiological shear stress using the well characterized hCMEC/D3 cell line. Interestingly, we showed that hCMEC/D3 cells responded to shear stress by aligning perpendicularly to the flow direction, contrary to peripheral endothelial cells which aligned in the flow direction. Whole proteomic profiles were compared between hCMEC/D3 cells cultured either in static condition or under 5 or 10 dyn.cm-2 SS for three days. 3592 proteins were identified and expression levels were significantly affected for 3% of them upon both SS conditions. Pathway analyses were performed which revealed that most proteins overexpressed by SS refer to the antioxidant defense, probably mediated by activation of the NRF2 transcriptional factor. Regarding down-regulated proteins, most of them participate to the pro-inflammatory response, cell motility and proliferation. These findings confirm the induction of EC quiescence by laminar physiological SS and reveal a strong neuroprotective effect of SS on hCMEC/D3 cells, suggesting a similar effect on the BBB. Our results also showed that SS did not significantly increase expression levels nor did it affect the localization of junctional proteins or the functional activity of several ABC transporters (P-glycoprotein and MRPs). This work provides new insights on the response of microvascular brain EC to SS and on the importance of SS for optimizing in vitro BBB models.

Sox13 is a novel flow-sensitive transcription factor that prevents inflammation by repressing chemokine expression in endothelial cells

Project description:SOX13 was identified as a novel flow-sensitive transceiption factor. We found that siRNA-mediated knockdown of SOX13 increased endothelial inflammatory responses even under the unidirectional laminar shear stress (ULS, mimicking s-flow) condition. To understand the underlying mechanisms, we conducted an RNAseq study in HAECs treated with SOX13 siRNA under shear conditions (ULS vs. oscillatory shear mimicking d-flow). We found 94 downregulated and 40 upregulated genes that changed in a shear- and SOX13-dependent manner. Several cytokines, including CXCL10 and CCL5, were the most strongly upregulated genes in HAECs treated with SOX13 siRNA.

Transcription profiling by array of human young and senescent HUVECs under static and laminar shear stress conditions

Project description:Laminar shear stress due to constant blood flow is known to play a critical role in maintaining vascular health. In contrast, endothelial cell senescence appears to be closely associated with the incidence of vascular disorder. In an attempt to identify functional biomarkers for age-related vascular health/disease, the present study investigated differential gene expression of young and senescent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) under static and laminar shear stress. We used a cDNA microarray method to compare gene expression profiles of young and senescent HUVECs under static and laminar shear stress conditions. Experiment Overall Design: Senescent cells were prepared by continuous subculture in vitro, and a cone-and-plate device was used to impose laminar shear stress onto cells. Young and senescent cells were exposed to laminar shear stress or maintained under static conditions. Total mRNA was extracted and gene expression profiles were analyzed by cDNA microarray.

HUVECs cultured under normal or high laminar shear stress

Project description:Many studies have characterised the effect of normal laminar shear stress (LSS) on endothelial responses, however elevated shear stress, as would be experienced overlying a stenotic plaque, has not been studied in depth. Therefore we used transcriptomics and related functional analyses to compare cells exposed to laminar shear stress at 15 or 75 dynes/cm2 for 24 hours (LSS15-normal or LSS75-high shear stress). Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC n=4 per flow condition from different batches of pooled donor HUVEC p2) were cultured for 24 hours on gelatin coated slides under laminar shear stress of either 15 dynes/cm2 or 75 dynes/cm2 (LSS15 or LSS75) to assess the effect of high shear stress on endothelial cells. Total RNA was obtained using Qiagen kit and array analysis performed by Service XS (Leiden, Netherlands).

Transcriptional adaptations of HUVECs exposed to high and low fluid shear stress

Project description:The goal of this study was to identify gene signatures in HUVECs exposed to atheroprone low laminar shear stress (LSS) or atheroprotective high laminar shear stress (HSS). The obtained data was used to verify that HSS and LSS application induces gene expression patterns similar to more complex pulsatile and oscillatory flow, respectively.

Transcriptome profiling of murine aortic endothelium with combined deletion for three MEF2 transcription factors: Mef2a, Mef2c and Mef2d

Project description:Atherosclerosis predominantly forms in regions of oscillatory shear stress while regions of laminar shear stress are protected. This protection is partly through the endothelium in laminar flow regions expressing an anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic gene expression program. Several molecular pathways transmitting these distinct flow patterns to the endothelium have been defined. Our objective is to define the role of the MEF2 family of transcription factors in promoting an atheroprotective endothelium. Endothelial-specific Mef2a -c and -d deficiency results in systemic inflammation, hemorrhage, thrombocytopenia, leukocytosis, and rapid lethality at 11 days post-injection. We collected RNA from the aortic endothelium at day 7 and process for transcriptome analysis in order to understand the phenotype and mechanism.
