Perivascular B cells link intestinal angiogenesis to immunity and to the gut-brain axis during neuroinflammation

ABSTRACT: Disruption of gut barrier function and intestinal immune cell homeostasis are increasingly considered critical players in pathogenesis of extra-intestinal inflammatory diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and its prototypical animal model, theexperimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Breakdown of epithelial barriers increases intestinal permeability and systemic dissemination of microbiota-derived molecules. However,whetherthe gut-vascular barrier (GVB) is altered during EAE has not been reported. Here, we demonstrate that endothelial cell proliferation and vessel permeability increase before EAE clinical onset, leadingto vascular remodelingand expansion of intestinal villi capillary bed during disease symptomatic phasein an antigen-independent manner. Concomitant to onset of angiogenesis observed prior to neurological symptoms, we identify an increase of intestinal perivascular immune cells characterized by the surface markerlymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronic acid receptor 1 (LYVE-1). LYVE-1+is expressed more frequently on B cells that show high levels of CD73 and have proangiogenic properties. B cell depletion was sufficient tomitigate enteric blood endothelial cell proliferation following immunization for EAE. In conclusion, we propose that altered intestinal vasculature driven by a specialized LYVE-1+B cell subset promotes angiogenesis and that loss of GVB function is implicated in EAE development and autoimmunity.

A modular-designed millifluidic organ-on-a-chip device to recapitulate key human gut epithelium features in the perspective of microbiota-gut-brain axis

Project description:The ERC “MINERVA” project (GA 724734) aims at developing a multi-organ-on-a-chip engineered platform to recapitulate in vitro the main players involved in the MGBA crosstalk: the microbiota, the gut epithelium, the immune system, the blood-brain barrier and the brain. In this context, the gut epithelium represents a physiological barrier that separates the intestinal lumen from the systemic circulation, and in several pathological circumstances, seems that its permeability might significantly increase and allow the passage of biologically active molecules into the blood vessels surrounding the intestinal mucosa. In the present work, we present our MINERVA 2.0 device and our innovative gut-on-a-chip device obtained by culturing in MINERVA 2.0 and a human gut epithelial CaCo2 cell based model. In particular, we have cultured the cells under perfusion and have assessed cell behavior by addressing cellular viability, tight junction imaging, apparent permeability by FITC-Dextran and transepithelial electrical resistance evaluation. Transcriptomic profile was used to further elucidate the effects of dynamic perfusion on Caco-2 cells.

Identification of gender-determined epigenetic profiles in the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome

Project description:The role of environmental factors and gender disparities as determinants of health is incontrovertible. In the digestive sphere, it is noteworthy that one of the most prevalent diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has a predominance in females. The origin of IBS is related to mucosal microinflammation phenomena, psychosocial stress, and in the last years, alterations in gut microbiota. Recent observations from our group in healthy subjects, demonstrate that both chronic psychosocial stress, and female gender per se determine a significant intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction in response to intercurrent stimuli, which, in susceptible individuals, could result in an early stage in the development of more lasting changes and the onset of clinical manifestations of IBS. Although the intimate mechanisms involved in stress-induced intestinal pathophysiology are not well known, diverse studies suggest that gut microbiota alteration, through epigenetic modifications of the main stress-mediators could be one of them. However, solid scientific evidence demonstrating the influence of stress on gut microbiota and epigenetics of the main stress-mediators is missing. Therefore, we want to investigate and characterize gender-dependent epigenetic modifications involved in intestinal barrier dysfunction in response to acute stress. The identification of gender-dependent abnormal epigenetic patterns related to female gender dysfunction can make a breakthrough in the understanding of the pathophysiology of the regulation of intestinal permeability, and promote positive diagnostic and therapeutic future progress in IBS.

Physiological Vascular Permeability Requires Induction of Endothelial NR4A1 by Progesterone Receptor [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Vascular permeability is frequently associated with inflammation and it is triggered by chemokines and by a cohort of secreted permeability factors, such as VEGF. In contrast, here we showed that the physiological vascular permeability that precedes implantation is directly controlled by progesterone receptor (PR) and it is independent of VEGF. Both global and endothelial-specific deletion of PR block physiological vascular permeability in the uterus while misexpression of PR in the endothelium of other organs results in ectopic vascular leakage. Integration of genome-wide transcriptional profile of endothelium and ChIP-sequencing revealed that PR induces a NR4A1 (Nur77/TR3) specific transcriptional program that broadly regulates vascular permeability in response to progesterone. This program triggers concurrent suppression of several junctional proteins and leads to an effective, timely and venule-specific regulation of vascular barrier function. Silencing NR4A1 blocks PR-mediated permeability responses indicating a direct link between PR and NR4A1. These results reveal a previously unknown function for progesterone receptor on endothelial cell biology with consequences to physiological vascular permeability and implications to the clinical use of progestins and anti-progestins on blood vessel integrity.

Slit2 modifies VEGF-induced angiogenic responses in rabbit skeletal muscle by inducing capillary sprouting and decreasing vascular permeability via reduced eNOS activity

Project description:Rationale: Slit2 is a possible modulator of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) - induced angiogenesis, but its effects have not been tested in large animal models. Objective: We studied the effect of Slit2 on therapeutic angiogenesis induced by VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) ligands Vammin and VEGF-DΔNΔC in vivo in rabbit skeletal muscles. The Slit2 target genes were also studied by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) in endothelial cells. Methods and Results: Adenoviral intramuscular gene transfers were performed into rabbit hindlimbs. Confocal and multiphoton microscopy were used for blood vessel imaging. Signaling experiments and gene expression analyses were performed to study mechanisms of Slit2 action. Slit2 decreased VEGFR2-mediated vascular permeability. It also reduced VEGFR2-mediated increase in blood perfusion and capillary enlargement, whereas sprouting of the capillaries was increased. Slit2 gene transfer alone did not have any effects on vascular functions or morphology. VEGFR2 activation was not affected by Slit2, but eNOS phosphorylation was diminished. The transcriptome profiling showed Slit2 downregulating angiogenesis-related genes such as nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1) and Stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1) as well as genes related to endothelial cell migration and vascular permeability. Conclusions: Combining Slit2 with VEGFs adjusts VEGFR2-mediated angiogenic effects into a more physiological direction. This possibly allows the use of higher VEGF vector doses to achieve a more widespread vector and VEGF distribution in the target tissues leading to a better therapeutic outcome while reducing excess vascular permeability.

IFN-I and CD8 T cells increase intestinal barrier permeability after chronic viral infection

Project description:Intestinal barrier leakage constitutes a potential therapeutic target for many inflammatory diseases and represents a disease progression marker during chronic viral infections. The causes of altered gut barrier remain, however, mostly unknown. By using murine infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus we demonstrated that, in contrast to an acute viral strain, a persistent viral isolate led to long-term viral replication in hematopoietic and mesenchymal, but not epithelial (IEC), cells in the intestine. Viral persistence drove sustained intestinal epithelial barrier leakage, which was characterized by increased paracellular flux of small molecules and was associated with enhanced colitis susceptibility. IFN-I signaling caused tight junction dysregulation in IEC, promoted gut microbiome shifts and enhanced intestinal CD8 T cell responses. Notably, both IFN-I receptor blockade and CD8 T cell depletion prevented infection-induced barrier leakage. Our study demonstrated that infection with a virus that persistently replicated in intestinal mucosa increased epithelial barrier permeability, and revealed IFN-I and CD8 T cells as causative factors of intestinal leakage during chronic infections.

Gene expression analysis in control and HIF-2 alpha deficient murine lung endothelial cells under hypoxia

Project description:Journal : Blood. 2009 Jul 9;114(2):469-77. Epub 2009 May 13. Title : Endothelial deletion of hypoxia-inducible factor-2alpha (HIF-2alpha) alters vascular function and tumor angiogenesis. Authors : Skuli N, Liu L, Runge A, Wang T, Yuan L, Patel S, Iruela-Arispe L, Simon MC, Keith B. Abstract : Hypoxia-inducible factor-2alpha (HIF-2alpha) is highly expressed in embryonic vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and activates the expression of target genes whose products modulate vascular function and angiogenesis. In this report, we describe a genetic model designed to test the physiologic consequences of deleting HIF-2alpha in murine endothelial cells. Surprisingly, mice with HIF-2alpha-deficient ECs developed normally but displayed a variety of phenotypes, including increased vessel permeability, aberrant endothelial cell ultrastructure, and pulmonary hypertension. Moreover, these animals exhibited defective tumor angiogenesis associated with increased hypoxic stress and tumor cell apoptosis. Immortalized HIF-2alpha-deficient ECs displayed decreased adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins and expressed reduced levels of transcripts encoding fibronectin, integrins, endothelin B receptor, angiopoietin 2, and delta-like ligand 4 (Dll4). Together, these data identify unique cell-autonomous functions for HIF-2alpha in vascular endothelial cells. Keywords: Murine lung endothelial cell study Cnt1,2 and 3 (Hif-2a floxed/floxed) cells were subjected to 0.5% oxygen treatment for 16hrs and KO1,2 and 3 (Hif-2a knockout) cells were subjected to 0.5% oxygen treatment for 16hrs.

Suppression of ANGPTL4 Reprograms Endothelial Cell Metabolism and Inhibits Angiogenesis

Project description:Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is known to regulate various cellular and systemic functions. However, its cell-specific role in endothelial cells (ECs) function and metabolic homeostasis remains to be elucidated. Here, using endothelial-specific Angptl4 knock-out mice (Angptl4iEC), and transcriptomics and metabolic flux analysis, we demonstrate that ANGPTL4 is required for maintaining EC metabolic function vital for vascular permeability and angiogenesis. Knockdown of ANGPTL4 in ECs promotes lipase-mediated lipoprotein lipolysis, which results in increased fatty acid (FA) uptake and oxidation. This is also paralleled by a decrease in proper glucose utilization for angiogenic activation of ECs. Mice with endothelial-specific deletion of Angptl4 showed decreased pathological neovascularization with stable vessel structures characterized by increased pericyte coverage and reduced permeability. Together, our study denotes the role of endothelial-ANGPTL4 in regulating cellular metabolism and angiogenic functions of EC.

Lyve-1 deficiency plasma proteomics

Project description:Hyaluronan receptor LYVE-1 is expressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC), lymphatic endothelial cells and specialized macrophages. Besides binding hyaluronan, LYVE-1 mediates adhesion of leukocytes and cancer cells to endothelial cells. Here, we analyzed the impact of LYVE-1 on physiological liver functions and metastasis. Mice with deficiency of Lyve-1 (Lyve-1 KO) were analyzed using histology, immunofluorescence, RNA sequencing, plasma proteomics and flow cytometry. Liver metastasis was studied by intrasplenic/intravenous injection of melanoma (B16F10luc2, WT31) or colorectal carcinoma (MC38) cell lines. Results: Hepatic architecture, liver size, endothelial differentiation and angiocrine functions were unaltered in Lyve-1 KO mice. Hyaluronan plasma levels were significantly increased in Lyve-1-KO mice; besides, plasma proteomics revealed increased carbonic anhydrase-2 and decreased FXIIIA, potential modulators of metastatis. Furthermore, gene expression analysis of LSEC indicated regulation of immunological pathways. Therefore, liver metastasis of a highly and of a weekly immunogenic tumor, i.e. melanoma and colorectal carcinoma (CRC), was analyzed in Lyve-1 KO mice. Hepatic metastasis of B16F10 luc2 and WT31 melanoma cells, but not MC38 CRC cells, was significantly reduced in Lyve-1 KO mice. While short-term adhesion assays with B16F10 luc2 cells in vivo did not show differences between Lyve-1 KO and wild-type mice, increased numbers of resident hepatic CD4+, CD8+ and regulatory T cells were detected in Lyve-1 KO livers. In addition, iron deposition was detected in F4/80+ liver macrophages known to exert pro-inflammatory effects. Conclusions: LYVE-1 deficiency controlled hepatic metastasis in a tumor cell-specific manner reducing hepatic metastasis of melanoma, but not CRC. Anti-tumorigenic effects are likely due to enhancement of the resident hepatic immune microenvironment.

Label free-DDA nano-LC/MS/MS analysis of Human Mesenteric lymph collected from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) subjects.

Project description:Compromise of the intestinal barrier have been associated with a series of inflammatory conditions where the routine controls nutrient absorption and pathogens exclusion is lost to different degrees. The intestinal epithelial cells form a barrier of selective permeability which protects from invasion by the normal bacteria present in the gut. When the barrier is compromised, bacteria and their products can attack the cells and cause inflammation, which can (in severe cases) cause sepsis. Mesenteric lymph nodes play a crucial role in the immune response and are of particular importance in the study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) patients due to their involvement in the disease process. To assess the efficiency of gut immune barrier, we collected the pre-nodal lymph from Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) subjects and performed a comprehensive proteomic analysis. The current study is complementary extension of the proteomics signature found in DSS-induced colitis mouse model, providing an insight in the lymph composition, and associated biochemical changes, in the set of samples (n=6) recruited from the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), subjects undergoing intestinal resection. Following bottom-up analysis, the enrichment analysis – GO and Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) analysis identified several pathways pointing towards a damaging phenotype.
