Contraction of brain pericytes in response to Islet Amyloid PolyPeptide is reversed by pramlintide.

ABSTRACT: The islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), a pancreas-produced peptide, has beneficial functions in its monomeric form. However, IAPP aggregates, related to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), are toxic not only for the pancreas, but also for the brain. In the latter, IAPP is often found in vessels, where it is highly toxic for pericytes, cells that have contractile properties and regulate capillary blood flow. The aim of this study is to assess whether IAPP oligomers alter the morphology and contractility of pericytes using an in vitro brain vasculature model and evaluate the association between IAPP and capillary contraction in human brain tissue.

Gene expression profiling of brain cortex pericytes from control and Rbpj-knockout mice at P7 and P10

Project description:Background: Pericytes are capillary-associated mural cells especially prominent in the central nervous system where they regulate vascular permeability and blood-brain barrier integrity. Despite their relevance for neurovascular unit homeostasis and their involvement in the pathobiology of neurodegenerative diseases, signalling mechanisms responsible for functional specialization and intercellular communication remain elusive. Objectives: The main goal of this study is to understand the relevance of Rbpj (the common downstream mediator of Notch signalling, an important mediator of cell-to-cell communication) in brain pericytes and to identify molecular signatures associated to Rbpj deletion. Methods: We used mouse genetic experiments to knockout Rbpj specifically in pericytes using a mural cell-specific Cre-driver (PdgfrbCreERT2). Inclusion of the Rpl22-HA (RiboTag) construct allowed Cre-mediated HA-labeling of ribosomal proteins and consequent isolation of actively translating mRNA from pericytes. PdgfrbCreERT2 transgenic mice were used to drive recombination of Rpl22-HA (RiboTag) allele and/or Rbpj-lox conditional knockout. Tamoxifen administration from postnatal day 1 (P1) to P3 allowed efficient recombination in pericytes. Brain cortices were collected at P7 or P10 and HA-tagged polyribosomes were immunoprecipitated using anti-HA coated beads. Total RNA was extracted and sequencing libraries prepared. Results: Pericyte-specific Rbpj deletion induces severe changes in the neurovascular unit characterized by defects in vascular morphogenesis, brain hemorrhaging, altered extracellular matrix composition and strong inflammatory responses. Analysis of pericytes translatome of Rbpj-KO mice compared to controls revealed profound changes in pericyte identity, increased expression of vascular smooth muscle cell markers and increased signaling through TGFbeta, among other alterations in mural cell behavior.

Age-dependent RGS5 loss in pericytes induces cardiac dysfunction and fibrosis in the heart

Project description:Background. Ageing is one of the main risk factors of cardiovascular disease. Pericytes are capillary-associated mural cells involved in the maintenance and stability of the vascular network. In the heart, the consequences of ageing on cardiac pericytes are unknown. Methods. In this study, we have combined single nucleus RNA sequencing and histological analysis to determine the effects of ageing on cardiac pericytes. Furthermore, we have conducted in vivo and in vitro analysis of RGS5 loss of function and finally have perfomed pericytes-fibroblasts co-culture studies to understand the effect of RGS5 loss of function in pericytes on the neighbouring fibroblasts. Results. We showed that ageing reduces the pericyte area and coverage. Single nucleus RNA sequencing analysis further revealed that the expression of the Regulator of G protein signalling 5 (Rgs5) is reduced in old cardiac pericytes. In vivo and in vitro studies showed that the deletion of RGS5 induces morphological changes and a pro-fibrotic gene expression signature characterized by the expression of different extracellular matrix components and growth factors like TGFB2 and PDGFB in pericytes. Indeed, the culture of fibroblasts with the supernatant of RGS5 deficient pericytes induced their activation characterized by the increased expression of α smooth muscle actin in a TFGβ2 dependent mechanism. Conclusions. Our results identify RGS5 as a crucial regulator of pericyte function during cardiac ageing. The deletion of RGS5 causes cardiac dysfunction and induces myocardial fibrosis, one of the hallmarks of cardiac ageing.

Next Generation Sequencing Fascilitates Quantitative Analysis of Differential Gene Expression in Human Pericytes treated with PDGF-BB

Project description:PDGF-BB:PDGFRβ signalling in brain pericytes is critical to the development, maintenance and function of a healthy blood-brain barrier (BBB). Furthermore, BBB impairment and pericyte loss in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is well documented. We used tissue microarrays from control and AD brains to determine if PDGF-BB:PDGFRβ signalling components were altered in AD, and found that there was a reduction in vascular expression of PDGFB. We hypothesised that reduced PDGF-BB:PDGFRβ signalling in pericytes may have an impact on functions related to the BBB. We therefore tested the effects of PDGF-BB on primary human brain pericytes in vitro to define important signalling pathways and outcomes related to BBB function. Pericytes demonstrate a biphasic response to PDGF-BB, predominantly dependent on Akt and ERK. We determined that the actions of PDGF-BB are on-target at PDGFRβ, leading to internalisation and degradation of PDGFRβ. Using pharmacological inhibitors, we dissected distinct aspects of the PDGF-BB response that are controlled by ERK and Akt pathways. PDGF-BB promotes the proliferation of pericytes and protection from toxic stimuli through ERK signalling. In contrast, PDGF-BB:PDGFRβ signalling through Akt and NF-κB augments pericyte-derived inflammatory secretions. It may therefore be possible to supplement PDGF-BB or small molecule agonists to stabilise the cerebrovasculature in AD.

The SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 is expressed in mouse pericytes but not endothelial cells – implications for COVID-19 vascular research

Project description:Humanized mouse models and mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 virus are increasingly used to study COVID-19 pathogenesis, and it is therefore important to learn where the SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 is expressed. Here we mapped ACE2 expression during mouse postnatal development and in adulthood. Pericytes in the central nervous system, heart and pancreas express ACE2 strongly, as do perineurial and adrenal fibroblasts, whereas endothelial cells do not at any location analyzed. In a number of other organs pericytes do not express ACE2, including in the lung where ACE2 instead is expressed in bronchial epithelium and alveolar type-II cells. The onset of ACE2 expression is organ-specific: in bronchial epithelium already at birth, in brain pericytes before and in heart pericytes after postnatal day 10.5. Establishing the vascular localization of ACE2 expression is central to correctly interpret data from modelling COVID-19 in the mouse and may shed light on the cause of vascular COVID-19 complications.

CD44+ Lung Cancer Stem Cell-derived Vascular Pericytes Cause Brain Metastases through GPR124-mediated Trans-endothelial Migration [I]

Project description:Brain metastasis of lung cancer causes high mortality, but the exact mechanisms underlying the metastasis remain unclear. Here we report that vascular pericytes derived from CD44+ lung cancer stem cells (CSCs) in lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) potently cause brain metastases through GPR124-mediated trans-endothelial migration (TEM). CD44+ CSCs in the perivascular niche generate the majority of vascular pericytes in lung ADC. CSC-derived pericyte-like cells (Cd-pericytes) exhibit remarkable TEM capacity to effectively intravasate into vessel lumina, survive in the circulation, extravasate into the brain parenchyma, and then de-differentiate into tumorigenic CSCs to form metastases. Moreover, Cd-pericytes uniquely express GPR124, a G-protein-coupled receptor. GPR124 mediates through Wnt7-β-Catenin activation to enhance TEM capacity of Cd-pericytes for intravasation and extravasation, two critical steps during tumor metastasis. Furthermore, selective disruption of Cd-pericytes, GPR124 or Wnt7-β-Catenin signaling markedly reduced brain and liver metastases of lung ADC. Our findings uncover an unappreciated cellular and molecular paradigm driving tumor metastasis.
