Project description:Endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a complex process, in which differentiated endothelial cells undergo phenotypic transition to mesenchymal cells. Given the diversity of the vascular system in architecture, structure, and embryonic origins, it is not clear if endothelial cells lining different vessels are able to undergo EndMT. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the molecular and functional changes that occur in different types of endothelial cells after induction of EndMT through overexpression of Snail and TGF-β2. Different types of endothelial cells (human umbilical vein, heart, and lung) have distinct response when induced to undergo EndMT. Coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) induced with combined Snail overexpression plus TGF-β2 treatment promotes a decrease of endothelial markers, an increase of mesenchymal markers and migration. The mechanism that HCAEC undergoing EndMT may be mediated through Notch and non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways. These results provide the foundation for understanding the roles of specific signaling pathways in mediating EndMT in endothelial cells from different anatomical origin.

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.

Project description:The formation of vascular niche is pivotal during the early stage of peripheral nerve regeneration. This antecedent angiogenesis meets the nutrient requirements for subsequent rapid axon regeneration and remyelination. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of vascular niche in the regulation of peripheral nerve remain unclear. The axon guidance molecule Netrin-1 (NTN1) is widely expressed in peripheral nerves and particularly was found up-regulated in sciatic nerve stump after peripheral nerve injury (PNI). Herein, we demonstrated that NTN1-high endothelial cells (NTN1+ECs) were the critical component of vascular niche, fostering angiogenesis, axon regeneration and repair-related phenotypes. And we also found that NTN1+ECs derived exosomes (NTN1 EC-EXO) were involved in the formation of vascular niche as a critical role. Multi-omics analysis further verified that NTN1 EC-EXO carried a low-level expression of let7a-5p and activated key pathways associated with niche formation including focal adhesion, axon guidance, PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and mTOR signaling pathway. Taken together, our findings suggested the potential construction of a pre-regenerative niche induced by NTN1 EC-EXO, thereby establishing a conductive microenvironment for nerve repair and facilitating the functional recovery after PNI in the early injury phase.

Project description:Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are multipotent cells that potentially promote angiogenesis. Especially MSC derived from the amnionic membrane of human term placentas (hAMSC) are promising candidates for a therapeutic use in vascular diseases, as cells can be isolated using non-invasive methods and are immunologically tolerated in vivo. In this study, we wanted to evaluate the endothelial differentiation potential of hAMSC. We used microarrays to investigate the effect of endothelial culture conditions on gene expression of hAMSC.

Project description:In cancer progression to metastasis, disseminated cancer cells frequently lodge near vasculature in secondary organs. However, our understanding of the cellular crosstalk evoked at perivascular sites is still rudimentary. In this study, we identified an inter-cellular machinery governing formation of a pro-metastatic vascular niche during breast cancer colonization in lungs. Transcriptomic analysis of endothelial cells (ECs) isolated from mouse lungs with metastases revealed a marked upregulation of genes linked to proliferation, inflammation and numerous secreted proteins. We showed that four secreted factors, INHBB, SCGB3A1, OPG and LAMA1, induced in ECs form a supportive niche that promotes metastasis in mice, by enhancing stem cell properties and survival ability of cancer cells. Interestingly, the blocking vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF), a major cytokine regulating EC behaviors, dramatically suppressed EC proliferation whereas no impact was observed on the expression of the four vascular niche factors in lung ECs. We found that the formation of a vascular niche is correlated with inflammation, and revealed that metastasis-associated macrophages are essential for production of all of four niche factors in lung ECs. Macrophages are activated via TNC-TLR4 at perivasculature and sequentially stimulate ECs to produce the four niche factors. Thus, our findings provide mechanistic insights into the formation of a perivascular niche and offer the possibility that targeting macrophages may synergize with existing anti-angiogenic drugs to effectively suppress vascular function in metastatic colonization. We used microarrays to analyze the global changes of gene expression in lung endothelial cells at different stages of lung colonization by MDA-MB-231-LM2 cells

Project description:Jak3 is the only non-promiscuous member of the Jak family of secondary messengers. Jak3–/– mice display defective T and NK cell development, which results in a SCID phenotype. As a result, studies to date have focused on understanding and targeting the cell-autonomous role of Jak3 in immunity, while functional Jak3 expression outside the hematopoietic system remains largely unreported. We show that Jak3 is expressed in endothelial cells across hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic organs, with heightened expression in the bone marrow. The bone marrow niche is understood as a network of different cell types that regulate hematopoietic function. We show that the Jak3–/– bone marrow niche is deleterious for the maintenance of long-term repopulating hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs) and that JAK3-overexpressing endothelial cells have increased potential to expand LT-HSCs in vitro. Increased arterial zonation in the bone marrow of Jak3–/– mice further situates Jak3 as a marker of sinusoidal endothelium. This work may serve to identify a novel function for a highly specific tyrosine kinase in the bone marrow vascular niche and to further characterize the LT-HSC function of sinusoidal endothelium.
