Multi-omics profiling of human endothelial differentiation reveals gene regulatory program in vasculature-related dysfunctions [in situ Hi-C]

ABSTRACT: The epigenomic remodeling and the pathological dysfunctions involved in vascular endothelial cell (EC) differentiation are largely unknown. Here, we construct extensive transcriptomic and epigenomic landscapes for human EC differentiation, sectioned at highly dense time points. This led to the identification of 42,309 differentiation stage-specific cis-regulatory elements (cREs), and revealed potential upstream regulators involved in EC lineage specification. Strikingly, our heritability analysis shows cREs transiently activated during EC commitment harbor a significant amount of germline genetic variants related to cardiovascular, inflammatory, and autoimmune disorders, and colorectal cancer. We generate high-resolution 3D chromatin contact maps to accurately pin-down functional targets of these risk variants. Our integrative analysis leveraging clinical samples of colorectal tumor and normal mucosa demonstrates that differentiation stage-specific cREs may mediate transition of vascular ECs to tumor-associated ECs (TECs). This work provides a comprehensive view of chromatin dynamics related to vascular EC formation and its pathological associations.

Comparison of human embroynic stem cell derived vascular cells to mature human vascular and hematopoietic cells

Project description:The pathways involved in hierarchical differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) into abundant and durable endothelial cells (EC) are unknown. We employed an EC-specific VE-cadherin promoter driving GFP (hVPr-GFP) to screen for factors that augmented yields of vascular-committed ECs from hESCs. In phase 1 of our approach, inhibition of TGFb, precisely at day 7 of hESC differentiation, enhanced emergence of hVPr-GFP+ ECs by 10-fold. In the second phase, TGFb-inhibition preserved proliferation and vascular identity of purified ECs, resulting in net 36-fold expansion of homogenous EC-monolayers, and allowing transcriptional profiling that revealed a unique angiogenic signature defined by the VEGFR2highId1highVE-cadherin+EphrinB2+CD133+HoxA9- phenotype. Using an Id1-YFP hESC reporter line, we showed that TGFb-inhibition sustained Id1 expression in hESC-derived ECs, which was required for increased proliferation and preservation of EC commitment. These data provide a multiphasic method for serum-free differentiation and long-term maintenance of authentic hESC-derived ECs, establishing clinical-scale generation of transplantable human ECs. The experiment compared 6 sets of biological duplicates which included human embryonic stem cell derived and mature vascular cell types.

Actively translating transcriptome (Ribotag) profiling of mouse retinal endothelial cells during postnatal development

Project description:Angiogenesis, a process mediating the expansion of vascular beds in many physiological and pathological settings, requires dynamic changes in endothelial cell (EC) behavior. The molecular mechanisms governing EC activity during different phases of vascular growth, remodeling, maturation, and quiescence remain elusive. Here, we have employed actively translating transcriptome analysis of mouse retinal ECs for the characterization of dynamic gene expression changes during postnatal development and the identification of critical angiogenic factors.

Histone modification (H3K4me3 and H3K27me3) during vascular endothelial cell differentiation from mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:Although studies of the differentiation from mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells to vascular endothelial cells (ECs) provide an excellent model for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying vascular development, temporal dynamics of gene expression and chromatin modifications have not been well studied. Herein, using transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses based on the H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 modifications at a genome-wide scale, we analyzed the EC differentiation steps from ES cells and crucial epigenetic modifications unique to ECs. We determined that Gata2, Fli1, Sox7, and Sox18 are master regulators of EC induced following expression of the hemangioblast commitment pioneer factor, Etv2. These master regulator gene loci were repressed by H3K27me3 under the mesoderm period, but rapidly transitioned to the histone modification switching from H3K27me3 to H3K4me3 after treatment with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). SiRNA knockdown experiments indicated that these regulators are indispensable not only for proper EC differentiation but also for blocking the commitment to other closely aligned lineages. Collectively, our detailed epigenetic analysis might provide an advanced model for understanding temporal regulation of chromatin signature and resulting gene expression profiles during EC commitment. These studies would lead the future development of methods to amplify the vascular endothelium for regenerative medicine.

Endothelial cell diversity revealed by global expression profiling

Project description:The vascular system is locally specialized to accommodate widely varying blood flow and pressure and the distinct needs of individual tissues. The endothelial cells (ECs) that line the lumens of blood and lymphatic vessels play an integral role in the regional specialization of vascular structure and physiology. However, our understanding of EC diversity is limited. To explore EC specialization on a global scale, we used DNA microarrays to determine the expression profile of 53 cultured ECs. We found that ECs from different blood vessels and microvascular ECs from different tissues have distinct and characteristic gene expression profiles. Pervasive differences in gene expression patterns distinguish the ECs of large vessels from microvascular ECs. We identified groups of genes characteristic of arterial and venous endothelium. Hey2, the human homologue of the zebrafish gene gridlock, was selectively expressed in arterial ECs and induced the expression of several arterial-specific genes. Several genes critical in the establishment of left/right asymmetry were expressed preferentially in venous ECs, suggesting coordination between vascular differentiation and body plan development. Tissue-specific expression patterns in different tissue microvascular ECs suggest they are distinct differentiated cell types that play roles in the local physiology of their respective organs and tissues. A development or differentiation experiment design type assays events associated with development or differentiation or moving through a life cycle. Development applies to organism(s) acquiring a mature state, and differentiation applies to cells acquiring specialized functions. Using regression correlation

The Proteomic Landscape of in vitro Cultured Endothelial Cells across Vascular Beds

Project description:Blood vessel endothelial cells (EC) display heterogeneity across vascular beds, which is at the bases of organ specificity and anticipated to drive site-specific vascular pathology. It is assessed in vivo using transcriptomics, and in vitro using functional assays, but how proteomes compare across human in vitro cultured ECs remains incompletely characterized. We generated an in-depth human EC proteomic landscape (>8000 proteins) across 6 vascular beds and 2 in vitro models both in steady-state and upon IFNγ-induced inflammation. EC proteomes displayed a high similarity and organ specific proteins were limited. Variation between ECs and donors was mainly based in biological processes underlying proliferation and differentiation. BOECs and HUVECs represented the extremes of proteomic phenotypes. IFNγ responses were highly conserved across cellular sources. Harnessing dynamics in protein abundances we delineated interactor networks of VWF and VE-Cadherin. This EC landscape provides an extensive proteomic addition in studying EC biology and heterogeneity from an in vitro perspective.

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.

Comprehensive epigenome characterization reveals the diverse transcriptional regulation across human vascular endothelial cells (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Endothelial cells (ECs) make up the innermost layer throughout the entire vasculature. Their phenotypes and physiological functions are initially regulated by developmental signals and extracellular stimuli. The underlying molecular mechanisms responsible for the diverse phenotypes of ECs from different organs are not well understood. To characterize the transcriptomic and epigenomic landscape in the vascular system, we cataloged gene expression and active histone marks in nine types of human ECs (generating 148 genome-wide datasets) and carried out a comprehensive analysis with chromatin interaction data. We developed a robust procedure for comparative epigenome analysis that circumvents variations at the level of the individual and technical noise derived from sample preparation under various conditions. Through this approach, we identified 3765 EC-specific enhancers, some of which were associated with disease-associated genetic variations. We also identified various candidate marker genes for each EC type. We found that the nine EC types can be divided into two subgroups, corresponding to those with upper-body origins and lower-body origins, based on their epigenomic landscape. Epigenomic variations were highly correlated with gene expression patterns, but also provided unique information. Most of the deferentially expressed genes and enhancers were cooperatively enriched in more than one EC type, suggesting that the distinct combinations of multiple genes play key roles in the diverse phenotypes across EC types. This comprehensive analysis of epigenome characterization of EC types reveals diverse transcriptional regulation across human vascular systems. These datasets provide a valuable resource for understanding the vascular system and associated diseases.

Mitochondrial respiration controls neoangiogenesis during wound healing and tumour growth

Project description:<p>The vasculature represents a highly plastic compartment, capable of switching from a quiescent to an active proliferative state during angiogenesis. Metabolic reprogramming in endothelial cells (ECs) thereby is crucial to cover the increasing cellular energy demand under growth conditions. Here we assess the impact of mitochondrial bioenergetics on neovascularisation, by deleting cox10 gene encoding an assembly factor of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) specifically in mouse ECs, providing a model for vasculature-restricted respiratory deficiency. We show that EC-specific cox10 ablation results in deficient vascular development causing embryonic lethality. In adult mice induction of EC-specific cox10 gene deletion produces no overt phenotype. However, the angiogenic capacity of COX-deficient ECs is severely compromised under energetically demanding conditions, as revealed by significantly delayed wound-healing and impaired tumour growth. We provide genetic evidence for a requirement of mitochondrial respiration in vascular endothelial cells for neoangiogenesis during development, tissue repair and cancer. </p>
