Project description:Purpose: Jumonji-containing (jmjC) family of proteins are involved in epigenetic gene regulation through histone specific lysine demethylation. Previous studies have demonstrated that the expression of several members of this family is induced by hypoxia. However, the mechanisms by which lysine specific demethylases (KDMs) are regulated under hypoxia and how they affect angiogenesis, the primary method to restore blood oxygen, remains unknown. In this study, we characterized regulation of KDMs using a combination of nascent and mature mRNA profiling. Furthermore, we aimed to identify KDMs that play a role in mediating the VEGF-mediated angiogenic response in endothelial cells. Results: We demonstrated that majority of KDMs were induced by hypoxia and this effect is more prominent upon constitutive activation of HIF2α compared to HIF1α. Half of the changes in mRNAs levels were attributed to transcriptional regulation as evidenced by similar changes at the level of nascent mRNAs, whereas half was likely due to post-transcriptional mechanisms affecting mature mRNA levels. Hypoxia induced genome-wide redistribution of H3K27me3 at 2000 transcriptionally active loci in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Among these, we further verified the induction of VEGF-A by demethylation of the locus by KDM4B and KDM6B in response to hypoxia. Accordingly, knockdown of KDM4B and KDM6B led to decreased proliferation and tube formation of HUVECs. Conclusions: Hypoxia leads to both transcriptional and post-transcriptional induction of KDMs and wide redistribution of H3K27me3 at active chromatin regions. Main mediator of angiogenesis, VEGFA, is regulated by KDM4B- and KDM6B- mediated demethylation in HUVECs with functional implications for cell proliferation and tube formation. These findings provide novel insights into the regulation of KDMs by hypoxia and the epigenetic regulation of angiogenesis.

Project description:Pathologic retinal neovascularization is a potentially blinding consequence seen in many common diseases including diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, and retinal vascular occlusive diseases, among others. The use of therapeutics targeting pro-angiogenesis factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has proven to be highly effective, however considerable side effects exist and serial anti-VEGF treatment has been shown to decrease effectiveness over time. Characterization of additional regulators of neovascularization is needed to further understand neovascular disease and identify possible new therapeutic targets. This study investigates epithelial membrane protein 2 (EMP2) and its role as a possible modulator of angiogenesis in human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) under hypoxia. EMP2 is highly expressed in human RPE and RPE cell lines. Adult retinal pigment epithelial cell line-19 (ARPE-19) cells were genetically modified to either overexpress EMP2 (OE) or knock down EMP2 (KD) and expression at the RNA and protein level was evaluated using RNA sequencing and western blot respectively. Protein expression was evaluated under both normoxic conditions and conditions of hypoxic stress with 0.5% O2. EMP2 expression was found to positively correlate with expression of the pro-angiogenesis factors hypoxia inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1a) and VEGF for both RNA and protein. EMP2 mediated changes in ARPE-19 cells was also found to alter the secretion of a paracrine factor(s) in conditioned media that can regulate human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) endothelial cell migration and capillary tube formation in in vitro functional angiogenesis assays. This study identifies EMP2 as a potentially important mediator of angiogenesis in the human RPE, a tissue involved in abnormal retinal neovascularization in a number of diseases. EMP2 levels positively correlate with those of the potent pro-angiogenesis mediators HIF-1a and VEGF, however the mechanism of this relationship remains to be clarified. This study supports further investigation of EMP2 as a promising novel target for therapeutic treatment of pathologic neovascularization in the retina.

Project description:The neural stem cell (NSC) niche controls the expansion and differentiation of NSCs. Blood vessels are part of this neurogenic niche, but their functional significance for the regulation of NSC differentiation and the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Here, we report that blood vessel formation in the developing mouse and ferret cortex coincided with induction of NSC differentiation in time and space. Moreover, selective inhibition of brain angiogenesis in vessel-specific Gpr124 null embryos caused hypoxia and increased NSC expansion at the expense of differentiation. The hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1Îą mediated this process, as the level of HIF-1Îą controlled NSC differentiation. Niche blood vessels regulated NSC differentiation at least in part by providing oxygen, as exposure to increased ambient oxygen levels rescued NSC differentiation in hypoxic brains of Gpr124 deficient embryos. Our findings establish a novel oxygen-dependent mechanism of how blood vessels regulate NSC differentiation.

Project description:Hypoxia is an important driver of cancer progression, and rapidly growing tumors often result in intratumoral hypoxic regions. Hypoxia is associated with metabolic reprogramming and angiogenesis, resulting in enhanced tumor progression. Here, we aimed to study breast cancer hypoxia responses at the proteomic level, and we wanted to identify differences in protein secretion from luminal-like and basal-like cell lines before and after hypoxia.

Project description:Multiple diseases are associated with a pathological hypoxia in the brain, resulting in various neurological sequalae. Understanding the response to hypoxia of neurons and neural stem cells (NSCs) will help devise better therapeutic strategies. We have exposed primary neurons (PN) and neural stem cells to 1% O2. Both cell types survived well, and neurons showed no obvious morphological changes. The NSCs, however, became fusiform, and displayed a population of cells with accelerated transition in cell cycle. Gene expression profile through microarray analysis revealed major differences in response to hypoxia between NSC and PN. Not only the number of genes significantly changes was ~five-fold higher in NSC, but the types of genes involved and the direction of change was quite different. In particular, NSCs up-regulated multiple growth factors and down-regulated most other cytokines and metalloproteases , while PN down-regulated most neuronal-specific genes, up-regulated growth factors, with no major effect on cytokines. We conclude that hypoxia 1- accelerates cell cycle transition of NSC in a post-transcriptional fashion ; 2-affects cytokines in NSC but not in neurons; 3-result in up-regulation of multiple growth factors in NSC and PN; and 4-suppresses neuronal specific functions. 1) Primary neurons (PN) and neural stem cells were exposed to 1% O2. 2) Gene expression profile through microarray analysis was used to determine the differences in response to hypoxia between NSC and PN.
