Project description:Loss of the microvascular (MV) network results in tissue ischemia, loss of tissue function, and is a hallmark of chronic diseases. The incorporation of a functional vascular network with that of the host remains a challenge to utilizing engineered tissues in clinically relevant therapies. We showed that vascular-bed-specific endothelial cells (ECs) exhibit differing angiogenic capacities, with kidney microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs) being the most deficient, and sought to explore the underlying mechanism. Constitutive activation of the phosphatase PTEN in kidney MVECs resulted in impaired PI3K/AKT activity in response to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Suppression of PTEN in vivo resulted in microvascular regeneration, but was insufficient to improve tissue function. Promoter analysis of the differentially regulated genes in KMVECs suggests that the transcription factor FOXO1 is highly active and RNAseq analysis revealed that hyperactive FOXO1 inhibits VEGF-Notch-dependent tip-cell formation by direct and indirect inhibition of DLL4 expression in response to VEGF. Inhibition of FOXO1 enhanced angiogenesis in human bio-engineered capillaries, and resulted in microvascular regeneration and improved function in mouse models of injury-repair.

Project description:Tight regulation of Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated inflammatory responses is important in innate immunity. Here, we show that T cell death-associated gene 51 (TDAG51/PHLDA1) is a novel coactivator of the transcription factor FoxO1, regulating inflammatory mediator production in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response. TDAG51 induction by LPS stimulation was mediated by the TLR2/4 signaling pathway in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). LPS-induced inflammatory mediator production was significantly decreased in TDAG51-deficient BMMs. In TDAG51-deficient mice, LPS- or pathogenic Escherichia coli infection-induced lethal shock was reduced by decreasing serum proinflammatory cytokine levels. The recruitment of 14-3-3 to FoxO1 was competitively inhibited by the TDAG51-FoxO1 interaction, leading to blockade of FoxO1 cytoplasmic translocation and thereby strengthening FoxO1 nuclear accumulation. TDAG51/FoxO1 double-deficient BMMs showed significantly reduced inflammatory mediator production compared with TDAG51- or FoxO1-deficient BMMs. TDAG51/FoxO1 double deficiency protected mice against LPS- or pathogenic E. coli infection-induced lethal shock by weakening the systemic inflammatory response. Thus, these results indicate that TDAG51 acts as a coactivator of the transcription factor FoxO1, leading to strengthened FoxO1 activity in the LPS-induced inflammatory response.

Project description:PAX3-FOXO1 is a fusion transcription factor that is the main driver of tumorigenesis leading to the development of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (aRMS). Since aRMS cells are addicted to PAX3-FOXO1 activity, the fusion protein also represents a major target for therapeutic interference, which is however challenging as transcription factors usually cannot be inhibited directly by small molecules. Hence, characterization of the biology of PAX3-FOXO1 might lead to the discovery of new possibilities for an indirect inhibition of its activity. Here, our goal was to characterize the proteomic neighborhood of PAX3-FOXO1 and to find candidates potentially affecting its activity and tumor cell viability. Towards this aim, we expressed BirA fused versions of PAX3-FOXO1 (N- and C-terminal) in HEK293T cells under presence of biotin. In the control setup, we expressed the BirA enzyme alone. After Streptavidin purification of biotinylated proteins, we performed mass spectrometry and quantified relative abundances compared to control conditions. This enabled us to determine PAX3-FOXO1 proximal proteins, which we investigated further in orthogonal endogenous systems.

Project description:Analysis of transcriptional changes upon silencing of endothelial VEGF. Because transcription factor Foxo1 levels increase under VEGF silencing, we hypothesized that Foxo1 transcriptional activity would be apparent in a whole-genome microarray. Double-silencing of VEGF+Foxo1 was also performed to determine which transcriptional changes are Foxo1-dependent in a VEGF-deficient background.

Project description:The pathways regulating the formation of the germinal center (GC) dark- (DZ) and light- (LZ) zones are unknown. We show that FOXO1 expression is restricted to the GC DZ and is required for DZ formation, since its absence in mice leads to the complete loss of DZ gene programs and the formation of LZ-only GCs. FOXO1-negative GC B-cells display normal somatic hypermutation, but defective affinity maturation and class switch recombination. The function of FOXO1 in sustaining the DZ program involves the transactivation of the chemokine receptor CXCR4, and the cooperation with BCL6 in the trans-repression of genes involved in immune activation, DNA-repair and plasma cell differentiation. These results have also implications for understanding the role of FOXO1 mutations in lymphomagenesis. We used microarrays to determine the consequences of FOXO1 deletion in the GC B cell comparment, and correlate these data with phenotypic changes GC B cell subpopulations were collected by Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) from B cell enriched fractions of splenic mononuclear cell pools (12 days after SRBC immunization). 20ng of total RNA (RIN>9) for each sample was used as a template for linear cDNA amplification (Ovation RNA amplification Kit, NuGen). cDNA was labeled using the Encore Biotin Labeling Kit (NuGen) and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse 430.2 gene expression arrays

Project description:As ambush-hunting predators that consume large prey after long intervals of fasting, Burmese pythons evolved with unique adaptations for regulating organ structure and function. Among these is cardiac hypertrophy that develops within three days following a meal (1, 2), which we previously showed was initiated by circulating growth factors (3). Post-prandial cardiac hypertrophy in pythons also rapidly regresses with subsequent fasting (2); however, the molecular mechanisms that regulate the dynamic cardiac remodeling in pythons during digestion are largely unknown. In this study, we employed a multi-omics approach coupled with targeted molecular analyses to examine remodeling of the python ventricular transcriptome and proteome throughout digestion. We found that forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1) signaling was suppressed prior to hypertrophy development and then activated with regression, which coincided with decreased and then increased expression, respectively, of FoxO1 transcriptional targets involved in protein degradation. To define the molecular mechanistic role of FoxO1 in hypertrophy regression, we used cultured mammalian cardiomyocytes treated with post-fed python plasma. Hypertrophy regression both in pythons and in vitro coincided with activation of FoxO1-dependent autophagy; however, introduction of a FoxO1-specific inhibitor prevented both regression of cell size and autophagy activation. Finally, to determine if FoxO1 activation could induce regression, we generated an adenovirus expressing a constitutively active FoxO1. FoxO1 activation was sufficient to prevent and reverse post-fed plasma-induced hypertrophy, which was partially prevented by autophagy inhibition. Our results indicate that modulation of FoxO1 activity contributes to the dynamic ventricular remodeling in post-prandial Burmese pythons.

Project description:VEGF induces elongation of endothelial cells (ECs) that are derived from wild-type (Foxo1(+/+)) ES cells. VEGF-induced EC elongation is an important process of angiogenesis. ECs derived from Foxo1(-/-) ES cells fail to elongate in response to VEGF. Gene expression profiling of wild-type and Foxo1(-/-) ECs in the presence or absence of VEGF stimulation identifies responsible genes that regulate EC elongation. One wild-type (Foxo1(+/+)) ES cell clone and one Foxo1(-/-) ES cell clone were used. ES cells were cultured on OP9 stromal cell layer in the presence or absence of VEGF (10 ng/ml). After 6.5 days, VE-cadherin+ CD31+ ECs were isolated by FACS and used for total RNA extraction. Three independent experiments were performed for each condition.

Project description:Hallmarks of the alveolar subclass of Rhabdomyosarcoma are chromosomal translocations that generate PAX3-FOXO1 or PAX7-FOXO1 chimeric transcription factors. Both PAX-FOXO1s drive related cell transformation in animal models, yet the two mutations are associated with distinct pathological manifestations in patients. To evaluate the mechanisms underlying these differences, we generated isogenic fibroblast lines expressing either PAX-FOXO1 paralog. Mapping their genome recruitment using CUT&Tag revealed that the two chimeric proteins have distinct DNA binding preferences. Furthermore, PAX7-FOXO1 causes stronger de novo transactivation of its bound regions than PAX3-FOXO1, resulting in greater transcriptomic dynamics involving genes regulating cell shape and cycle. Consistently, PAX3-FOXO1 accentuates fibroblast cellular traits associated with contractility and surface adhesion and limits entry to M phase. Instead, PAX7-FOXO1 pushes cells to adopt an amoeboid-like shape, reduce S phase entry and provokes more genome instabilities. Altogether, our results demonstrate that PAX7-FOXO1 has a greater chromatin remodelling and transactivating abilities and is more deleterious to cells than PAX3-FOXO1. Altogether our results argue that the diversity in rhabdomyosarcoma manifestation stems, in part, from the diverging transcriptional activity of PAX3-FOXO1 and PAX7-FOXO1. Furthermore, PAX7-FOXO1 pronounced deleterious effects provides an explanation for the low frequency of the translocation generating this factor in Rhabdomyosarcoma patients.

Project description:To identify genes regulated by FOXO1, we performed RNA-seq analysis of human unbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) overexpressing CA-FOXO1 by adenovirus. CA-FOXO1 is constructed by mutating three amino-acids phosphorylated by Akt, T24, S256, and S319, and is constitutively localized in the nucleus compared to wild-type FOXO1.
