Project description:BMP9 signaling has been implicated in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and vascular remodeling, acting via the HHT target genes, endoglin and ALK1. This study sought to identify endothelial BMP9-regulated proteins that could affect the HHT phenotype. Gene ontology analysis of cDNA microarray data obtained following BMP9 treatment of primary human endothelial cells indicated regulation of chemokine, adhesion, and inflammation pathways. The sample set is comprised of three biological replicate control human dermal microvascular endothelial cells, and three treated (5 ng/ml human recombinant BMP9) biological replicate human dermal microvascular endothelial cells

Project description:BMP9 and BMP10 are two key regulators of vascular homeostasis. These two ligands bind with high affinity to the endothelial type I receptor ALK1 together with a type 2 receptor. Mutations in this signaling pathway have been identified in two rare cardiovascular diseases, hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and pulmonary arterial hypertension. So far, only the canonical SMAD signaling pathway has been extensively studied in response to BMPs. The aim of this work was to address early phosphoproteomic changes in endothelial cells in response to short-term stimulation (30 mins) with BMP9 and BMP10 in order to identify new phosphorylated targets and signaling pathways.

Project description:Vascular networks form, remodel and mature under the influence of both fluid shear stress (FSS) and soluble factors. Physiological FSS promotes and maintains vascular stability via synergy with Bone Morphogenic Protein 9 (BMP9) and BMP10. Conversely, mutation of the BMP receptors ALK1, Endoglin or the downstream effector SMAD4 leads to Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT), characterized by fragile and leaky arterial-venous malformations (AVMs). But how endothelial cells (EC) integrate FSS and BMP signals in vascular development and homeostasis, and how mutations give rise to vascular malformations is not well understood. Here, we aimed to elucidate the mechanism of synergy between fluid shear stress and SMAD signaling in vascular stability and its failure in HHT. We have now found that loss of Smad4 increases ECs’ sensitivity to flow by lowering the FSS set point with resulting AVMs exhibiting features of excessive flow-mediated morphological responses. Mechanistically, loss of Smad4 disinhibits flow-mediated Klf4-Tie2-PI3K/Akt signaling leading to increased EC proliferation and loss of arterial identity due to Klf4-mediated repression of cyclin dependent Kinase (CDK) inhibitors, CDKN2A and CDKN2B. Thus, AVMs caused by Smad4 deletion are characterized by chronic high flow remodeling with excessive EC proliferation and loss of arterial identity as triggering events.

Project description:Distinct endothelial cell cycle states (early G1 vs. late G1) provide different “windows of opportunity” to enable the differential expression of genes that regulate venous and arterial specification, respectively. Endothelial cell cycle control and arterial-venous identities are disrupted in vascular malformations including arteriovenous (AV) shunts which is a hallmark of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). We show how endothelial cell late G1 arrest induced by Palbociclib modulates the expression of genes regulating arterio-venous identity and prevents AVM development induced by BMP9/10 inhibition.

Project description:Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare congenital disease in which fragile vascular malformations focally develop in multiple organs. These can be small (telangiectasias) or large (arteriovenous malformations, AVMs) and can compromise tissue perfusion. Critically, they are prone to rupture leading to frequent and uncontrolled bleeding. As a result, HHT patients experience several debilitating clinical manifestations that reduce patient quality-of-life. Most HHT patients are heterozygous for loss-of-function mutations affecting signaling through the Alk1 pathway; yet, the pathogenesis of vascular malformation (VM) in HHT patients remains unclear and there are still few treatment options and no cure. Due to the complex, three-dimensional, and multicellular nature of vascular lesions in HHT, they are traditionally studied in intact genetically-modified mouse and zebrafish models, and studies in these animals have yielded important insights into HHT disease progression. However, intact animal studies can be time-consuming and expensive, and may be difficult to translate to human patients. In this study, we take advantage of our recently developed Vascularized Micro-Organ platform to develop an in vitro fully-humanized HHT-on-a-chip microphysiological model (HHT-VMO) that recapitulates vascular lesions of HHT patients. Using a tunable IPTG-inducible ACVRL1 (Alk1)-knockdown approach, we control the timing and extent of endogenous Alk1 expression in primary human endothelial cells seeded into the HHT-VMO device. We report that Alk1-deficient EC reliably form networks with aberrant morphology that includes lesions reminiscent of both patient telangiectasias and AVMs. HHT-VMO lesions are dependent upon the timing of Alk1 knockdown and their formation is blocked by the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor (VEGFR) inhibitor pazopanib. Lastly, we find that AVM-like lesions that form in the HHT-VMO are comprised of mixed Alk1-intact and Alk1-deficient EC suggesting cell non-autonomous effects. Taken together, we report development of a novel HHT-on-a-chip model that appears to faithfully reproduce HHT patient lesions. In the future, we hope to use this model to better understand HHT disease biology and to perform drug screening studies to identify a cure for HHT.

Project description:Purpose: Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant vascular disorder characterized by arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Over 90% of HHT patients carry heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGFb) signaling components activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ACVRL1/ALK1), endoglin (ENG), or mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4 (SMAD4). Brain AVMs can be lethal for HHT patients. Here, we use an inducible endothelial (EC)-specific mouse line to investigate brain AVMs characteristics in Alk1-, Eng-, and Smad4-HHT mouse models. Angiopientin-2 (Ang2) inhibition diminishes HHT associated cerebral vascular defects. We aim to identify the shared transcriptional changes in brain ECs between these three HHT types, and provide insights for transcriptional changes upon Ang2 inhibition. Methods: ECs were isolated from brains of both WT and HHT mutant mice at postnatal day 7 (P7) for Smad4 and Eng models, P6 for Alk1 model. Total RNA was extracted from isolated brain ECs and quantified using Qubit RNA High Sensitivity Assay Kit. RNA integrity was determined using the Bioanalyzer RNA 6000 Nano assay kit. RNA library construction was performed with the TruSeq RNA Library Prep Kit v2 from Illumina. The resulting mRNA library was quantified using Qubit dsDNA High Sensitivity Assay Kit and verified using the Bioanalyzer DNA1000 assay kit. Verified samples were sequenced using the NextSeq 500/550 High Output Kit v2.5 (150 Cycles) on a Nextseq 550 system. Sequenced reads were aligned to the mouse (mm10) reference genome with RNA-seq alignment tool (version 2.0.1). The aligned reads were used to quantify mRNA expression and determine differentially expressed genes using the RNA-seq Differential Expression tool (version 1.0.1). Both alignment and differential expression analysis were performed using the tools in the BaseSpace Sequence Hub. Results: We identified 5509, 5381, and 2663 differentially expressed genes in Smad4, Alk1, and Eng HHT models respectively. Also, Ang2 inhibition mainly funcioned through angiogenesis and cell migration processes to normalize cerebrovascular defects in Smad4-HHT model. Conclusions: A common but unique pro-angiogenic program among all HHT models included 14 consistent upregulated and 5 consistent downregulated angiogic genes. Also, Ang2 inhibition mainly funcioned through angiogenesis and cell migration processes to normalize cerebrovascular defects in Smad4-HHT model.

Project description:Endoglin is a 180-kDa glycoprotein receptor primarily expressed by the vascular endothelium and involved in cardiovascular disease and cancer. Heterozygous mutations in the endoglin gene (ENG) cause Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia type 1, a vascular disease that present with nose and gastrointestinal bleeding, skin and mucosa telangiectases, and arteriovenous malformations in internal organs. A circulating form of endoglin (alias soluble endoglin, sEng), proteolytically released from the membrane-bound protein, has been observed in several inflammation-related pathological conditions and appears to contribute to endothelial dysfunction and cancer development through unknown mechanisms. Membrane-bound endoglin is an auxiliary component of the TGF-β receptor complex and the extracellular region of endoglin has been shown to interact with types I and II TGF-β receptors, as well as with BMP9 and BMP10 ligands, both members of the TGF-β family. To search for novel protein interactors, we have screened a microarray containing over 9,000 unique human proteins using recombinant sEng as bait. We find that sEng binds with high affinity, at least, to 22 new proteins. Among these, we have validated the interaction of endoglin with galectin-3, a secreted member of the lectin family with capacity to bind membrane glycoproteins, and with tripartite motif-containing protein 21 (TRIM21), an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. Using human endothelial cells and Chinese hamster ovary cells, we showed that endoglin co-immunoprecipitates and co-localizes with galectin-3 or TRIM21. These results open new research avenues on endoglin function and regulation.

Project description:Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT, alias Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease that causes vascular malformations in multiple organs. Malformations and shunts in the liver are relevant for the long-term prognosis as they can lead to heart failure. Moreover, the role of ALK-1 in the hepatic vascular niche remains elusive. In this project, we aimed to establish a novel HHT model covering hepatic involvement by the disease and to investigate the role of ALK-1 in the hepatic vascular niche. We crossed Stab2-icre mice (MGI: 6741034) with Acvrl1-floxed mice (MGI: 4398901) to generate constitutive hepatic endothelial Acvrl1 knockout (Acvrl1-HEC-KO, alias Alk1-HEC-KO) mice. To dissect microvascular transcriptomic alterations, we performed RNA sequencing of freshly isolated hepatic endothelial cells from 3 months old mice. Transcriptomic analyses revealed an arterialization of hepatic vessels accompanied by loss of LYVE-1 and induction of Endomucin. The loss of endothelial Wnt2, Wnt9b, and Rspo3 led to a disruption of hepatic metabolic zonation with a dominance of periportal genes in Alk1-HEC-KO mice and HHT patients. Furthermore, we identified PRND (alias Doppel) and placenta growth factor (PlGF) as novel candidates of HHT pathogenesis in mice. ALK-1 controls hepatic metabolic zonation via Wnt signaling and suppresses PRND and PlGF that represent novel candidates in HHT pathogenesis.
