Evaluation of the effects of shear stress on human dermal microvascular blood and lymphatic endothelial cells

ABSTRACT: The lymphatic system removes fluid from the interstitial space and returns it to the blood with a tremendous capacity: during inflammation, lymph flow rates can increase dramatically; however, during chronic lymphedema, there is little or no flow. The ability of lymphatic endothelium to sense and actively regulate this function is unknown, and shear stress is likely a key indicator of lymph flow. We profiled gene expression in human dermal microvascular lymphatic endothelial cells exposed to 0, 2 and 20 dyn/cm2 shear stress as representative of chronic lymphedema, normal, and acute inflammatory conditions, respectively. We found important adaptive responses correlated to multiple aspects of lymphatic function. Importantly, shear stress upregulated intracellular water and solute transporters while decreasing cell-cell adhesion and basement membrane components and increasing cell-matrix interactions. This data indicate that during high loading conditions, both passive and active drainage function increases, while conversely when fluid drainage is blocked, transport function is diminished in the lymphatic endothelium. These data demonstrate the first functional-adaptive response of lymphatic endothelium to flow conditions, thus indicating that the lymphatic endothelium plays an active role in regulating their function. Keywords: Shear stress, dose response, cell type comparison

Keywords: Shear stress, dose response, cell type comparison Lymphatic endothelial cells were subjected to 0, 2, or 20 dyn/cm2 shear stress; blood endothelial cells were subjected to 0 or 20 dyn/cm2 shear stress. Four samples were used for each cell type/shear level group for a total of 20 samples. Each sample was independently compared to human universal reference RNA via two-color microarray analysis for a total of 20 arrays. In all cases, the experimental samples were labeled with Cy5 dye while the reference RNA was labeled with Cy3.

RhoA-ROCK competes with YAP to regulate amoeboid breast cancer cell migration in response to lymphatic-like flow

Project description:Lymphatic drainage generates force that induces prostate cancer cell motility via activation of Yes-associated protein (YAP), but whether this response to fluid force is conserved across cancer types is unclear. Here, we show that shear stress corresponding to fluid flow in the initial lymphatics modifies taxis in breast cancer. Whereas some cell lines employ rapid amoeboid migration behavior in response to fluid flow, a separate subset decrease movement. Positive responders displayed transcriptional profiles typical of an amoeboid cell state. Regulation of the HIPPO tumor suppressor pathway and YAP activity also differed between breast subsets and prostate cancer. Although subcellular localization of YAP to the nucleus positively correlated with overall velocity of locomotion, YAP gain- and loss-of-function demonstrates that YAP inhibits breast cancer motility but is outcompeted by other pro-taxis mediators in the context of flow. Specifically, we show that RhoA dictates response to flow. GTPase activity of RhoA, but not Rac1 or Cdc42 Rho family GTPases, is elevated in cells that positively respond to flow and is unchanged in cells that decelerate under flow. Disruption of RhoA or the RhoA effector, Rho-associated kinase (ROCK), blocked shear stress-induced motility. Collectively, these findings demonstrate stratification of breast cancer subsets by flow-sensing mechanotransduction pathways and point to a role for biophysical force in regulation of an amoeboid cell state.

Expression profile of human lymphatic endothelial cells under static or oscillatory shear stress conditions in the presence or absence of FOXC2

Project description:Lymphatic valves are specialized units regularly distributed along collecting vessels that allow unidirectional forward propulsion of the lymph, and its efficient transport from tissues to the bloodstream. Lymphatic endothelial cells that cover lymphatic valve sinuses are subjected to complex flow patterns, due to recirculation of the lymph during the collecting vessel pumping cycle. They also express high levels of FOXC2 transcription factor. We used microarrays to study the transcriptional networks controlled by FOXC2 in human lymphatic endothelial cells subjected to oscillatory shear stress or cultured under static conditions. Human lymphatic endothelial cells were transfected with control or FOXC2 siRNAs and subjected to 24-hour oscillatory shear stress (1 dyn/cm2; 1/4 Hz) or kept under static conditions as a control. RNA were amplified and hybridized on Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Arrays. The experiment was run twice independently, using each time a different siRNA to knockdown FOXC2, as previously described (Sabine et al, 2012, Dev Cell).

Project description:The meningeal lymphatic network—housed within the dural meninges surrounding the brain— is critical for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage. Through continuous brain interstitial fluid (ISF) mixing with CSF via the glymphatic system, this lymphatic network facilitates the removal of central nervous system (CNS) waste. During aging and in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), attenuated meningeal lymphatic drainage promotes the buildup of toxic misfolded proteins—including amyloid beta—in the CNS. Alleviating this age-related meningeal lymphatic dysfunction represents a promising therapeutic strategy to alleviate AD pathology. However, the mechanisms underlying this lymphatic decline remain elusive. Here we demonstrate that age-related alterations in meningeal immunity contribute to meningeal lymphatic impairment. Single-cell RNA-sequencing of dural lymphatic endothelial cells in aged mice demonstrated a response signature to the cytokine IFNγ, which was elevated in the aged dura due to meningeal T cell accumulation. Chronic elevation of IFNγ in the meninges of young mice via AAV-mediated overexpression altered lymphatic adherans junctions and impaired CSF drainage to deep cervical lymph nodes—comparable to the deficits observed in aged mice. Direct disruption of lymphatic junctions via CSF-delivered VE-Cadherin disrupting antibodies was sufficient to phenocopy impairments in CSF drainage. Therapeutically, IFNγ neutralization in aged mice alleviated age-related impairments in meningeal lymphatic function. These data suggest manipulation of meningeal immunity as a viable therapeutic target to normalize CSF drainage in aged mice and alleviate the pathology in AD mice associated with impaired waste removal.

Single Cell Transcriptomic Analysis of Popliteal Lymph Nodes from TNF-Tg Mice with Early and Advanced Inflammatory-Erosive Arthritis

Project description:Immune cell dynamics in lymph nodes downstream of inflamed joints are associated with inflammatory-erosive arthritis in both tumor necrosis factor transgenic (TNF-Tg) mice and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. In TNF-Tg mice, "Early" stages of arthritis are related to dramatic PLN "Expansion" with increases in joint-draining popliteal lymph node (PLN) volume and fluid flow, while CD21-high / CD23+ B-cells in inflamed nodes (Bin cells) accumulate in the PLN follicles. Onset of "Advanced" inflammatory-erosive arthritis is related to a PLN "Collapse" where fluid flow is reduced as Bin cells translocate from the PLN follicles into the sinuses and are thought to mechanically inhibit lymphatic drainage. Through single-cell RNA-sequencing, we aimed to evaluate changes in PLN immune cell populations during Early and Advanced arthritis to determine mechanisms mediating the Bin cell translocation and the relationship with arthritic progession in the afferent joints.

Tissue inflammation reprograms lymphatic collectors to support entry and rapid migration of dendritic cells to draining lymph nodes

Project description:Afferent lymphatic vessels (LVs) connect peripheral tissues with draining lymph nodes (dLNs) and are important for immune-surveillance and tissue drainage. They begin in the tissue as initial lymphatic capillaries, which are highly permeable and branched vessels specialized in the uptake of macromolecules, fluids and immune cells. Conversely, the downstream collecting LVs are impermeable and contractile structures that transport the taken up lymph and immune cells to the dLN. We and others have recently observed that intralymphatic leukocytes actively migrate within lymphatic capillaries but de-adhere and are passively transported by flow once they have reached in the collecting vessels. Besides potential differences in lymph flow we hypothesize that gene expression differences between capillaries and collectors could account for this transition from a crawling to a flowing mode of migration. In this project we aimed to perform a sequencing-based gene expression analysis of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) isolated from lymphatic capillaries and collectors, in order to identify new genes involved in leukocyte migration, as well as genes involved in shaping the morphologic phenotype of capillaries and collectors. For this, murine skin was enzymatically digested and LECs from capillaries or collectors were FACS-sorted and their RNA extracted and subjected to sequencing.
