Cardiac microvascular endothelail cells of EC-KLF2 and/or KLF4 knockout mice at day 6 post-tamoxifen

ABSTRACT: Maintenance of vascular integrity in the adult animal is needed for survival and critically dependent on the endothelial lining, which controls barrier function, blood fluidity, and flow dynamics. However, nodal regulators that coordinate endothelial identity and function in the adult animal remain poorly characterized. Here we show that endothelial KLF2 and KLF4 control a large segment of the endothelial transcriptome thereby affecting virtually all key endothelial functions. Inducible endothelial-specific deletion of Klf2 and/or Klf4 reveals that a single allele of either gene is sufficient for survival, but absence of both (EC-DKO) results in acute death from myocardial infarction, heart failure, and stroke. EC-DKO animals exhibit profound compromise in vascular integrity and profound dysregulation of the coagulation system. Collectively, these studies establish an absolute requirement for KLF2/4 for maintenance of endothelial and vascular integrity in the adult animal.

Angiogenic patterning by STEEL, an endothelial-enriched long noncoding RNAAngiogenic patterning by STEEL, an endothelial-enriched long noncoding RNA

Project description:Endothelial cell (EC)-enriched protein coding genes, such as endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), define quintessential EC-specific physiologic functions. It is not clear whether long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) also define cardiovascular cell-type specific phenotypes, especially in the vascular endothelium. Here, we report the existence of a set of EC-enriched lncRNAs and define a role for STEEL (spliced transcript – endothelial enriched lncRNA) in angiogenic potential, macrovascular/microvascular identity and shear stress responsiveness. STEEL is expressed from the terminus of the HOXD locus and is transcribed antisense to HOXD transcription factors. STEEL RNA increases the number and integrity of de novo perfused microvessels in an in vivo model and augments angiogenesis in vitro. The STEEL RNA is polyadenylated, nuclear-enriched and has microvascular predominance. Functionally, STEEL regulates a number of genes in diverse endothelial cells. Of interest, STEEL upregulates both eNOS and the transcription factor Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2), and is subject to feedback inhibition by both eNOS and shear-augmented KLF2. Mechanistically, STEEL upregulation of eNOS and KLF2 is transcriptionally mediated, in part, via interaction of chromatin-associated STEEL with the poly-ADP ribosylase, PARP1. For instance, STEEL recruits PARP1 to the KLF2 promoter. This work identifies a role for EC-enriched lncRNAs in the phenotypic adaptation of ECs to both body position and hemodynamic forces, and establishes a newer role for lncRNAs in the transcriptional regulation of EC identity.

Krüppel-like factor 2 in VCAM1+ endothelial cells is a critical regulator of vascular inflammation

Project description:Endothelial cells (ECs) act as an internal barrier to the vessel wall, hindering the development of inflammation, and only when activated will promote the development of vascular inflammation. However, the heterogeneity of the aortic ECs in the setting of vascular inflammation have not been fully assessed. Here, we defined 4 EC subpopulations, including Cd36+ EC, Notch3+ EC, Vcam1+ EC and Lyve1+ EC. Based on the enrichment analysis, Vcam1+ EC were considered to be a subpopulation of ECs susceptible to activation. After high-fat diet (HFD) intake, decreased expression of Krüppel-like factor 2 (Klf2) occurred only in Vcam1+ EC. Moreover, S1pr1 was validated as a downstream target protein of klf2. Upregulation of Klf2 expression ameliorated vascular ECs inflammation under HFD condition. Our study elucidates the Klf2 in Vcam1+ EC is a critical regulator of vascular inflammation and increases understanding of development and progression of aortic inflammatory disease.

FAK is required for suppressing aberrant nuclear mechanotransduction and DNA methylation to prevent vascular injury

Project description:Mechanical forces generated through adhesive interaction of endothelial cells (EC) influence nuclear envelope and thereby gene transcription. Alteration in EC mechanical forces may trigger aberrant gene transcription leading to lethal vascular diseases including acute lung injury (ALI). The intrinsic pathways that instruct EC nuclear-mechanotransduction and thereby maintains vascular homeostasis remain elusive. We have identified focal adhesion kinase (FAK)-mediated mechanotransduction at the nuclear envelope in instructing transcription of EC-barrier protective genes. We show that loss of EC-FAK increases intracellular tension, which in turn activates nuclear envelop protein emerin, and DNA methyltransferase 3a (DNMT3a). Methylation of transcription factor KLF2 promoter by DNMT3a impaired KLF2 synthesis and transcription of the crucial barrier-maintaining gene, S1PR1. Restoring KLF2 or S1PR1 expression or impairing emerin or DNMT3a activity rescued vascular homeostasis in lungs with FAK-deficient or WT-damaged endothelium. Thus, FAK protects against tension-induced aberrant DNA methylation in EC and is a promising target to prevent ALI.

Transcriptome Data of KLF4 Overexpression in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

Project description:Atheroprotective flow (e.g., pulsatile shear stress) and statins drastically induce the expression of krüppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) in vascular endothelial cells (ECs). We therefore investigated the role of KLF4 in EC function through comparing the transciptional profiling of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) that were infected with adenovirus overexpression KLF4 (Ad-KLF4) or with empty vector (Ad-null) control. Gene ontology analysis revealed that KLF4 not only regulates EC homeostasis through the upregulation of nitric oxide synthesis and vascular development, but also mediates response to lipid. Among the lipid responsive genes, KLF4 exhibited induction of cholesterol efflux and oxidation [i.e., liver X receptor (LXR) and cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (Ch25h)], while suppressing cholesterol biosynthesis [i.e., sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2)].

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>

Programming to S1PR1+ Endothelial Cell Promotes Restoration of Lung Vascular Integrity

Project description:Increased endothelial permeability and failure to repair is the hallmark of several vascular diseases including acute lung injury (ALI). However, little is known about the intrinsic pathways that activate endothelial cell (EC) regenerative programs and thereby tissue repair. Studies have invoked a crucial role of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in resolving endothelial hyperpermeability through activation of the G-protein coupled receptor, sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1). Here, we addressed mechanisms of generation of S1PR1+ EC, which may prevent endothelial injury. Studies were made using inducible EC-S1PR1-/- (iEC-S1PR1-/-) mice and S1PR1-GFP reporter mice to trace the generation of S1PR1+ EC. We observed in a mouse model of endotoxemia that S1P generation induced the programming of S1PR1lo to S1PR1+ EC, which comprised 80% of lung EC. The transition of these cells was required for reestablishing the endothelial barrier. We also observed that conditional deletion of S1PR1 in EC increased vascular permeability. RNA-seq analysis of S1PR1+ EC showed enrichment of genes regulating S1P synthesis and transport, sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) and SPNS2, respectively. The activation of transcription factors EGR1 and STAT3 were essential for transcribing SPHK1 and SPNS2, respectively, to increase S1P production that served to amplify S1PR1+ EC transition. Transplantation of S1PR1+ EC into injured lung vasculature restored endothelial integrity. Our findings show that generation of a S1PR1+ EC population activates the endothelial regenerative program mediating vascular endothelial repair, thus raising the possibility of harnessing this pathway to restore vascular homeostasis in inflammatory injury.

RAMP2-AS1 Regulates Endothelial Homeostasis and Aging

Project description:The homeostasis of vascular endothelium is crucial for cardiovascular health and endothelial cell (EC) aging and dysfunction could negatively impact vascular function. Leveraging time-series transcriptomic data obtained from endothelial cells (ECs) subjected to physiological pulsatile flow versus pathophysiological oscillatory flow, we performed principal component analysis (PCA) to identify key genes contributing to divergent transcriptional states of ECs under distinct flow patterns. Through bioinformatics analysis, we identified that a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) RAMP2- AS1 encoded on the antisense of RAMP2, a determinant of endothelial homeostasis and vascular integrity, is a novel regulator essential for EC homeostasis and function. Knockdown of RAMP2-AS1 inhibited EC angiogenesis and promoted EC senescence, as a result of extensive changes of EC transcriptome. Our study demonstrates an integrative approach to quantifying EC aging based on transcriptome changes, which also identified a number of novel regulators, including protein-coding genes and many lncRNAs involved EC functional modulation.
