Endothelial Cells from different anatomical origin have distinct responses during Snail/TGF-β2-mediated Endothelial-Mesenchymal Transition

ABSTRACT: 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.

The histone demethylase JMJD2B regulates endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition [microarray]

Project description:Endothelial cells play an important role in maintenance of the vascular system and the repair after injury. Under pro-inflammatory conditions, endothelial cells can acquire a mesenchymal phenotype by a process named endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), which affects the functional properties of endothelial cells. Here, we investigated the epigenetic control of EndMT. We show that the histone demethylase JMJD2B is induced by EndMT promoting pro-inflammatory and hypoxic conditions. Silencing of JMJD2B reduced TGF-β2-induced expression of mesenchymal genes and prevented the alterations in endothelial morphology and impaired endothelial barrier function. Endothelial-specific deletion of JMJD2B in vivo confirmed a reduction of EndMT after myocardial infarction. EndMT did not affect global H3K9me3 levels but induced a site-specific reduction of repressive H3K9me3 marks at promoters of mesenchymal genes, such as Calponin (CNN1), and genes involved in TGF-β signaling, such as AKT Serine/Threonine Kinase 3 (AKT3) and sulfatase 1 (SULF1). Silencing of JMJD2B prevented the EndMT-induced reduction of H3K9me3 marks at these promotors and further repressed these EndMT-related genes. Our study reveals that endothelial identity and function is critically controlled by the histone demethylase JMJD2B, which is induced by EndMT-promoting pro-inflammatory and hypoxic conditions and support the acquirement of a mesenchymal phenotype.

Long non-coding RNA MIR503HG controls endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition

Project description:Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a dynamic transformation process that has a functional impact upon pathological vascular remodelling. The molecular mechanisms that govern EndMT remain largely unknown. By induction of EndMT in human primary endothelial cells (EC), using a combination of transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-b2) and interleukin-1b (IL-1β), we identified the dramatic loss of the lncRNA MIR503HG, as a common signature across multiple primary EC types. Targeted depletion of MIR503HG spontaneously induced EndMT. Overexpression of MIR503HG repressed EndMT despite TGF-β2 and IL-1β co-stimulation. RNA-seq was carried out to identify the changes in gene expression induced by MIR503HG overexpression. We showed that over 25% of the EndMT-transcriptome signature was inhibited upon MIR503HG overexpression. Crucially, phenotypic changes induced by MIR503HG were independent of the functional regulation of miR-503 and miR-424, both harbored within the MIR503HG locus. Collectively, we identify the lncRNA MIR503HG as an essential regulator of EndMT.

Single cell RNA-seq analysis of endothelial cells (HUVEC) treated with IL1b and TGFb2 as a model of endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT)

Project description:Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a dynamic biological process involved in pathological vascular remodeling. However, the molecular mechanisms that govern this transition remain largely unknown. To study EndMT in vitro, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were treated with transforming growth factor-β2 and interleukin-1β, leading to a decrease of endothelial markers as well as an increase of mesenchymal markers and EndMT regulators after 7 days. Single-cell RNA-seq was carried out to study the dynamics of the transition.

Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition compromises vascular integrity to induce hypoxia and Myc mediated metabolic reprogramming of tubular epithelial cells in kidney fibrosis

Project description:The aim of this study was to identify the functional impact of Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EndMT) in kidney fibrosis. For this purpose EndMT has been conditionally deleted in endothelial cells by the genetic deletion of Twist and Snail in the endothelial cells, using the tamoxifen inducible Cdh5-ERT2 Cre model. Twist EndMT–cKO and Snail EndMT–cKO mice, together with WT mice, were challanged with the unilateral ureteral obstruction model (UUO) to induce kidney fibrosis. Mice were euthanized 10 days after surgery. In addition, since we found that EndMT-induced vascular damage and hypoxia induces Myc upregulation in tubular epithelial cells (TECs), we deleted Myc in TECs (using the GGT-Cre model). Myc GGT–cKO mice were also challenged with the UUO model and euthanized 10 days after surgery.

Leptin treatment has vasculo-protective effects in lipodystrophic mice

Project description:Lipodystrophy syndromes (LD) are characterized by loss of adipose tissue, metabolic complications such as dyslipidemia, insulin resistance and fatty liver disease, as well as accelerated atherosclerosis. As a result of adipose tissue deficiency, the systemic concentration of the adipokine leptin is reduced. A current promising therapeutic option for patients with LD is treatment with recombinant leptin (metreleptin) resulting in reduced risk of mortality. Here, we investigate the effects of leptin on endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), which impairs the functional properties of endothelial cells and promotes atherogenesis in LD. Leptin treatment reduced inflammation, TGF-β2-induced expression of mesenchymal genes and prevented impairment of endothelial barrier function. Treatment of lipodystrophic and atherosclerosis prone animals (Ldlr-/-; aP2-nSrebp1c-Tg) with leptin reduced macrophage accumulation in atherosclerotic lesions, vascular plaque protrusion and the number of endothelial cells with mesenchymal gene expression, confirming a reduction in EndMT in LD after leptin treatment. Treatment with leptin inhibited LD-mediated induction of the pro-atherosclerotic cytokine growth/differentiation factor 15 (GDF15). Inhibition of GDF15 reduced EndMT induction triggered by plasma from LD patients. Our study reveals that in addition to the effects on adipose tissue function, leptin treatment exerts beneficial effects protecting endothelial function and identity in LD by reducing GDF15.

MiR-181b targets semaphorin 3a to mediate TGF-β-induced endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition related to atrial fibrillation

Project description:Background:This study investigated if and how atrial endothelial cells may transform to mesenchymal cells and contribute to atrial fibrosis via endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT). Results:We show a novel mechanistic link between TGF-β1/SMAD signaling and decreased Sema3a expression through the induction of miR-181b; this pathway plays an important role in EndMT associated with the pathogenesis of AF. Both miR-181b and Sema3a are potential therapeutic targets in AF.
