Project description:This study is a comparative analysis to examine whether there are significant gene expression changes after 6 hours of treatment with three diverse microtubule destabilizers: combretastation A4 (CA4), vinblastine (VB), and plinabulin (PL). Other comparators include baseline control DMSO, microtubule destabilizer docetaxel (DTXL), and inflammatory cytokine TNF-α. We use primary human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells as a model for a cell sensitive to microtubule perturbations.

Project description:Despite the fact that miRNAs have been extensively investigated for their involvement in diseases, senescence as well as inflammation, miRNAs involved in TNF-α- induced premature senescence remain to be uncovered. Hence, the present study aims to identify unique miRNAs and their respective signaling pathways in TNF-α-induced senescence in lung microvascular endothelial cells and novel targets for prevention or protection against premature senescence and endothelial hyperpermeability. We have employed Agilent Human MicroRNAs microarray platform to evaluate the expressions of 866 human miRNAs and 89 human viral miRNAs, based on Sanger miRNA database release 12.0.

Hence, the present study aims to identify unique miRNAs and their respective signaling pathways in TNF-α-induced senescence in lung microvascular endothelial cells and novel targets for prevention or protection against premature senescence and endothelial hyperpermeability. Gene profiling was established using the same RNA input as that used for miRNA profiing. We have employed Agilent Whole Human Genome microarray platform to evaluate the expressions of 19,596 human genes.

Project description:In this study, we sought to measure what changes cells experienced upon microtubule destabilization after inhibiting Rho effector: ROCK. We used human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs) as a model to measure cell response to microtubule depolymerization in a sensitive cell type.

Project description:Drug serum concentrations will be measured at several time-points for inflammatory disease patients treated with anti-TNF agents. The purpose is to determine which patients that will clinically benefit from either discontinue treatment, adjusting the dose, switch to another anti-TNF agent or a different class of medication.

Project description:Endothelial-mesenchymal-transition (EndMT) is an important source of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which are known to facilitate tumor progression. We have previously shown that EndMT is present in pancreatic tumors and that deficiency of the Tie1 receptor induces EndMT in human endothelial cells. Pancreatic tumors are characterized by the presence of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). We now show that TNF-α strongly induces human endothelial cells to undergo EndMT. In order to know the secretory feature of cells which undergo EndMT by TNF-α, we conducted a comparative analysis of HMVEC secretome treated or not for 24h and 48h with TNF-α. Secretome study shows that cells treated with TNF-α have an important fibroblast-like secretory capacity, and a proinflamatory signature. Moreover, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) shows that pathways implicated in migration, inflammation and fibrosis are predicted to be activated and that necrosis and apoptosis pathways are inhibited. Accordingly cell survival, viability and cycle progression are activated. We show that TNF-α- treated cells secrete proteins related to 16 protumoral pathways, confirming their fibroblastic characteristic. Finally, among the predicted upstream regulators activated, IPA analysis shows that, TNFSF12 and its receptor are present at hight levels in PDAC patients. Altogether these results show the fibroblastic characteristic of treated cells and demonstrate that TNF-α induces CAFs.

Project description:There is marked sexual dimorphism displayed in the onset and progression of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Females more commonly develop pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), however, females with PAH and other types of PH have better survival than males. Pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells play a crucial role in the pulmonary vascular remodelling and increased pulmonary vascular resistance of PH. Given this background, we hypothesized that there are sex differences in the pulmonary microvascular endothelium basally and in response to hypoxia that are independent of the sex hormone environment.

Project description:G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have diverse roles in physiological processes, including immunity. Gs-coupled GPCRs increase while Gi-coupled ones decrease intracellular cAMP. Previous studies suggest that, in epithelial cells, Gs-coupled GPCRs enhance whereas Gi-coupled GPCRs suppress pro-inflammatory immune responses. In order to examine the issue, we chose beta2 adrenergic receptor and GPR40 as representatives of Gs- and Gi- coupled GPCRs, respectively, and examined their effects on TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma-(TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma) induced gene expression by HaCaT. We used microarrays to detail the global changes of gene expression induced by a beta2 adrenergic receptor agonist terbutaline or GPR40 agonist GW9508 pre-treatment in TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma - stimulated HaCaT cells. HaCaT cells were pre-treated with terbutaline or GW9508, TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma were then added, and cultured for another 24 h. Cells were then used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to clarify changes in gene expression after 1) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma, 2) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma + terbutaline, and 3) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma + GW9508 treatment. To this end, we set 4 groups of samples; 1) unstimulated group, 2) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma-stimulated group, 3) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma + terbutaline-stimulated group, and 4) TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma + GW9508-stimulated group. In each group, HaCaT cells were stimulated in triplicate wells (n=3).

Project description:Human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) is the causative agent of Kaposi’s sarcoma and is associated with the angioproliferative disorders primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) and multicentric Castleman’s disease (MCD). We have previously described evidence of HHV-8 infection within the pulmonary vasculature of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). We speculated that viral infection of the pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells could cause the angioproliferative phenotype characteristic of severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We now demonstrate the ability of HHV-8 to infect human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMVECs) in vitro, confirming both latent and lytic infection. HHV-8 infection of HPMVECs resulted in significant changes of gene expression including alterations of pathways integral to both cellular apoptosis and angiogenesis. This infection also results in alterations of genes integral to the bone morphogenic protein (BMP) pathway, including down regulation of bone morphogenic protein receptor 1a (BMPR1a) and bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP4). Other genes previously implicated in the development of PAH are also altered in expression by HHV-8 infection. These include increased expression of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1, MMP-2 and MMP-10. Lastly, cells infected with HHV-8 apoptosis resistant. Infection of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells with human herepesvirus-8 results in alteration of the BMP pathway as well as an anti-apoptotic phenotype, consistent with the development of plexiform lesions characteristic of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
