Changes in the proteome and secretome of rat liver sinusoidal endothelial cells during early primary culture and effects of dexamethasone

ABSTRACT: Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are specialized fenestrated scavenger endothelial cells involved in the elimination of modified plasma proteins and tissue turnover waste macromolecules from blood. LSECs also participate in liver immune responses. A challenge when studying LSEC biology is the rapid loss of the in vivo cell phenotype in culture. In this study, we have examined biological processes and pathways affected during early-stage primary culture of rat LSECs and checked for cell responses to the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1 and the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone. Methods: LSECs from male Sprague Dawley rats were cultured on type I collagen in a 5% oxygen atmosphere in DMEM with serum-free supplements for 2 and 24 h. Quantitative proteomics using tandem mass tag technology were used to examine proteins in cells and supernatants. Validation was done with ELISA and multiplex immunobead assays, cell ultrastructure was examined by scanning electron microscopy, and scavenger function by quantitative endocytosis assays. Results: LSECs cultured for 24 h showed a characteristic pro-inflammatory phenotype both in the presence and absence of IL-1, displaying upregulation of cellular responses to cytokines and interferon-, cell-cell adhesion, and glycolysis, and downregulation of membrane/endocytosis receptors (MCAM, STAB1, STAB2, LYVE1, CLEC4G) and proteins involved in pyruvate metabolism, citric acid cycle, fatty acid elongation, amino acid metabolism, and oxidation-reduction processes. Dexamethasone improved LSEC viability in culture and repressed the culture-induced stimulation of glycolysis, inflammatory and immune regulatory pathways, and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines while increasing IL-10 secretion compared to time-matched control. The number of sieve plates in LSECs was reduced at 24 h both in the presence and absence of dexamethasone but the dexamethasone-treated cells showed a more quiescent phenotype. Conclusion: Rat LSECs become activated towards a pro-inflammatory phenotype during early culture. Dexamethasone represses LSEC activation and improves cell viability.

Project description:Liver sinusoidal endothelium (LSEC) is a prime example for organ-specific microvascular differentiation and functions. Disease-associated capillarization of LSEC in vivo and dedifferentiation of LSEC in vitro indicate the importance of the hepatic microenvironment. To identify the LSEC-specific molecular differentiation program in the rat, we used a two-sided gene expression profiling approach comparing LSEC freshly isolated ex vivo with both lung microvascular endothelial cells (LMEC) and with LSEC cultured for 42h. The LSEC signature consisted of 48 genes both down-regulated in LMEC and in LSEC upon culture (FC>7 in at least one comparison); qRT-PCR confirmation of these genes included numerous family members and signalling pathway-associated molecules. The LSEC differentiation program comprised distinct sets of growth (wnt2, Fzd4, 5, 9, wls, VEGFR1, 2, 3, Nrp2) and transcription factors (Gata4, Lmo3, Tcfec, Maf) as well as endocytosis-related (Stabilin-1/2, Lyve1 and Ehd3) and cytoskeleton-associated molecules (Rnd3/RhoE). Specific gene induction in cultured LSEC versus freshly isolated LSEC as well as LMEC (Esm-1, Aatf) and up-regulation of gene expression to LMEC levels (CXCR4, Apelin) confirmed true transdifferentiation of LSEC in vitro. In addition, our analysis identified a novel 26 kDa single-pass transmembrane protein, liver endothelial differentiation-associated protein (Leda)-1, that was selectively expressed in all liver endothelial cells and preferentially localized to the abluminal cell surface. Upon forced over-expression in MDCK cells, Leda-1 was sorted baso-laterally to E-cadherin-positive adherens junctions suggesting functional involvement in cell adhesion and polarity. Conclusion: Comparative microvascular analysis in rat identified a hepatic microenvironment-dependent LSEC-specific differentiation program including the novel junctional molecule Leda-1. Highly pure liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) and lung microvascular endothelial cells (LMEC) were isolated by enzymatic digestion, density gradient centrifugation and MACS sorting and subjected to RNA extraction and affymetrix hybridization without any culturing step (LSEC_0h, LMEC_0h). LSEC were also plated on collagen coated dishes and RNA extraction and Affymetrix hybridization was carried out after 2h and 42h in culture (LSEC_2h, LSEC_42h).

Project description:Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) is characterized by excess circulating toxic lipids, hepatic steatosis, and liver inflammation. Monocyte adhesion to the liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) and transendothelial migration (TEM) are crucial in the inflammatory process. LSEC under lipotoxic stress develops a pro-inflammatory phenotype known as endotheliopathy. However, the mediators of endotheliopathy remain obscure. Primary mouse LSEC isolated from C57BL/6J mice on chow or MASH-inducing diets rich in fat, fructose, and cholesterol (FFC) were subjected to multi-omics profiling. Mice with established MASH, due to a choline-deficient high-fat diet (CDHFD) or FFC diet, were treated with two structurally distinct GSK3 inhibitors [LY2090314, elraglusib (9-ING-41)]. Integrated pathway analysis of mouse LSEC proteome and transcriptome indicates that leukocyte TEM and focal adhesion are major pathways altered in MASH. Kinome profiling of the LSEC phospho-proteome identified GSK3β as the major kinase hub in MASH. GSK3β activating phosphorylation was increased in primary human LSEC treated with the toxic lipid palmitate and in human MASH. Palmitate upregulated the expression of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 2, intracellular adhesion molecule 1, and phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase, via a GSK3-dependant mechanism. Congruently, the adhesive and transendothelial migratory capacities of primary human neutrophils and THP-1 monocytes through LSEC monolayer under lipotoxic stress were reduced by GSK3 inhibition. Treatment with the GSK3 inhibitors LY2090314 and elraglusib ameliorated liver inflammation, injury, and fibrosis in FFC and CDHFD-fed mice, respectively. Immunophenotyping of intrahepatic leukocytes from CDHFD-fed mice treated with elraglusib using cytometry by the time of flight showed reduced proinflammatory monocyte-derived macrophages and monocyte-derived dendritic cells infiltration.GSK3 inhibition attenuates lipotoxicity-induced LSEC endotheliopathy and may serve as a potential therapeutic strategy in human MASH.
