Project description:We tested the hypothesis that endothelial capillary tube formation in 3D cultures in basement membrane extract (BME) is secondary to the altered DNA promoter methylation and mRNA expression in Human Brain Micro Endothelial Cells (HBMEC). We conducted a whole-genome transcriptomic and methylation microarray and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene knockdown to test our hypothesis. The data demonstrated that with angiogenic transformation 1318 and 1490 genes were significantly (p<0.05) upregulated and downregulated, respectively. We compared our gene expression data with the published databases on GEO and found several genes in common. PTGS2, SELE, ID2, HSPA6, DLX2, HEY2, FOSB, SMAD6, SMAD7, and SMAD9 showed a very high level of expression during capillary tube formation. Among downregulated gene were ITGB4, TNNT1, PRSS35, TXNIP, IGFBP5. The most affected canonical pathways were ATM signaling and cell cycle G2/M DNA damage checkpoint regulation. The top upstream regulators of angiogenic transformation were identified to be VEGF, TP53, HGF, ESR1, and CDKN1A. We compared the changes in gene expression with the change in gene methylation and found hypomethylation of the CpG sites was associated with upregulation of 515 genes and hypermethylation was associated with the downregulation of 31 genes. Furthermore, the silencing of FOSB, FZD7, HEY2, HSPA6, NR4A3, SELE, PTGS2, SMAD6, SMAD7, and SMAD9 significantly inhibited angiogenic transformation as well as cell migration of HBMECs. We conclude that the angiogenic transformation is associated with altered DNA methylation and gene expression changes.

Project description:To identify previously unknown determinants of endothelial cell sprouting, we defined and exploited a pharmacological strategy for the manipulation of angiogenic cell behavior in vivo. Whereas high vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (Vegfr) signaling is known to promote tip cell (TC) specification, activation of the Notch receptor via its ligand Delta-like 4 (Dll4) represses the TC phenotype to promote stalk cell (SC) fate. Conversely, suppression of Notch activity upon antagonistic interaction with its ligand Jagged1 pro- motes TC formation. Hence, specification of TCs involves tight spatiotemporal control of Vegfr/Notch signaling. Consequently, we hypothesized that the pharmacological manipulation of Vegfr/Notch signaling selectively during zebrafish intersegmental vessel (ISV) angiogenesis would enable the precise control of angiogenic EC behavior and sprouting- associated gene expression in vivo. For more information, see Herbert et al., 2012, PMID 22921365.

Project description:The angiogenic function of endothelial cells is tightly regulated but the impact of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) remains unclear. The lncRNA yielded to be an epigenetically restricted endothelial lncRNAs. Here, the chromatin accessibility after knockdown of MANTIS was investigated. It revealed changes on chromatin accessibility on several promoters which are known to be important for endothelial angiogenic function.

Project description:To examine angiogenesis inhibitor-regulated pathways, the alteration in gene expression of human microvascular endothelial cells after a 4-hour treatment with seven chemically different inhibitors has been analyzed. Specifically, this series describes the expression profiles following treatment with either: 1. recombinant interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha); 2. pigment epithelium derived factor (PEDF); 3. all trans-retinoic acid (RA); 4. thrombospondin 1 (TSP-1); 5. TNP-470 (TNP-470); 6. endostatin (ENDO); 7. angiostatin (ANGIO). To ensure that cDNA products were proportional to the initial gene expression pattern, 33P-labelled probes from oligo d(T) primed reverse transcription of 5 microg RNA were generated for each. This, followed by second strand synthesis, was used to hybridize the nylon filters (GF211 ) comprising a total of 4132 genes and EST’s.

Project description:Angiogenesis is a highly regulated process essential for organ development and maintenance, and its deregulation contributes to inflammation, cardiac disorders and cancer. The Ca2+/Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cells (NFAT) signaling pathway is central to endothelial cell angiogenic responses, and it is activated by stimuli like the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF). NFAT phosphorylation by dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinases (DYRKs) is thought to be an inactivating event. Contrary to expectations, we show that the DYRK family member DYRK1A positively regulates VEGF-dependent NFAT transcriptional responses in primary endothelial cells. DYRK1A silencing reduces intracellular Ca2+ influx in response to VEGF, which dampens NFAT activation. The effect is exerted at the level of VEGFR2 accumulation leading to impairment in PLCg1 activation. Notably, Dyrk1a heterozygous mice show defects in developmental retinal vascularization. Our data establish a regulatory circuit, DYRK1A/ Ca2+/NFAT, to fine-tune endothelial cell proliferation and angiogenesis.
