Project description:The transcriptional regulator YAP orchestrates important cell functions, determining tissue homeostasis, organ growth control, and tumorigenesis. Mechanical stimuli are a key input to YAP activity, but the mechanisms controlling this regulation remain largely uncharacterized. We show that CAV1 positively modulates the YAP mechanoresponse to substrate stiffness through actin cytoskeleton-dependent and Hippo kinase-independent mechanisms. RHO activity is necessary but not sufficient for CAV1-dependent mechanoregulation of YAP activity. Systematic quantitative interactomic studies and image-based siRNA screenings provide evidence that this actin-dependent regulation is determined by YAP interaction with the 14-3-3 protein YWHAH. Constitutive YAP activation rescued phenotypes associated with CAV1 loss, including defective ECM remodeling. CAV1-mediated control of YAP activity was validated in vivo in a model of pancreatitis-driven acinar-to-ductal metaplasia. We propose that this CAV1-YAP mechanotransduction system controls a significant share of cell programs linked to these two pivotal regulators, with potentially broad physiological and pathological implications.

Project description:The transcriptional regulator YAP orchestrates many cellular functions, including tissue homeostasis, organ growth control, and tumorigenesis. Mechanical stimuli are a key input to YAP activity, but the mechanisms controlling this regulation remain largely uncharacterized. We show that CAV1 positively modulates the YAP mechanoresponse to substrate stiffness through actin-cytoskeleton-dependent and Hippo-kinase-independent mechanisms. RHO activity is necessary, but not sufficient, for CAV1-dependent mechanoregulation of YAP activity. Systematic quantitative interactomic studies and image-based small interfering RNA (siRNA) screens provide evidence that this actin-dependent regulation is determined by YAP interaction with the 14-3-3 protein YWHAH. Constitutive YAP activation rescued phenotypes associated with CAV1 loss, including defective extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling.

Project description:Cells sense the biophysical properties of the surrounding microenvironment. In particular, the stiffness of the extracellular milieu can be interrogated by cells and integrated through mechanotransduction. Many cellular processes (like proliferation, migration, or differentiation) depend on the mechanical status of the cell (being largely dictated by actomyosin-dependent intracellular contractility), which in turn is influenced by the mechanical properties of the microenvironment. In this study, we explored the influence of substrate stiffness on the proteome of undifferentiated human umbilical cord matrix mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (hUCM-MSCs). The relative abundance of several identified proteins suffered significant changes when comparing between substrates. Interestingly, many of such proteins are related to the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, a main player of mechanotransduction and cell physiology in response to mechanical cues.

Project description:Treating recurrent GBM is a clinical challenge due to its highly resistant and aggressive nature. In order to develop new therapeutic targets for recurrent GBM a better understanding of its molecular landscape is necessary. Here we used a cellular model, developed in our lab which generates paired primary and recurrent samples from GBM cell lines and primary patient samples hence allowing us to compare the molecular differences between the two populations. Total RNA seq analysis of parent and recurrent population of two cell lines and one patient sample revealed a significant upregulation of Extracellular matrix interaction in recurrent population. Since matrix stiffness plays a pivotal role in cell-ECM interaction and downstream signaling, we developed a system that mimicked the brain like substrate stiffness by using collagen coated polyacrylamide-based substrate whose stiffness can be modified from normal brain (0.5kPa) to tumorigenic (10kPa). Using these substrates, we were able to capture the morphological and physiological differences between parent and recurrent GBM which were not evident on plastic surfaces (~1 GPa). On 0.5kPa, unlike circular parent cells, recurrent GBM cells showed two morphologies (circular and elongated). The recurrent cells growing on 0.5kPa also showed higher proliferation, invasion, migration and in-vivo tumorigenicity in orthotropic GBM mouse model, compared to parent cells. Furthermore, recurrent cells exhibited elevated velocity irrespective of substrate stiffness, which indicated that recurrent cells may possess inherent differential mechanosignalling ability which was reflected by higher expression of ECM proteins like Collagen IVA, MMP2 and MMP9. Moreover, mice brain injected with recurrent cells grown on 0.5kPa substrate showed higher Young’s modulus values suggesting that recurrent cells conditioned on 0.5kPa make the surrounding ECM stiffer. Importantly, inhibition of EGFR signaling, that is amplified with tissue stiffening in GBM resulted in decreased invasion, migration and proliferation in 0.5kPa recurrent cells, but interestingly survival remained unaffected, highlighting the importance of mimicking the physiological stiffness of the brain mimicking clinical scenario. Total RNA seq analysis of parent and recurrent cells grown on plastic and 0.5kPa substrate identified PLEKHA7 as significantly upregulated gene specifically in 0.5kPa recurrent sample. Higher protein expression of PLEKHA7 in recurrent GBM as compared to primary GBM was validated in patient biopsies. Accordingly, PLEKHA7 knockdown reduced invasion and survival of recurrent GBM cells. Together, these data provides a model system that captures the differential mechanosensing signals of primary and recurrent GBM cells and identifies a novel potential target specific for recurrent GBM.

Project description:In vitro cultures of primary cardiac fibroblasts (CFs), the major extracellular matrix (ECM)-producing cells of the heart, are used to determine molecular mechanisms of cardiac fibrosis. However, the supraphysiologic stiffness of tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS) automatically triggers the conversion of CFs into an activated myofibroblast-like state, and serial passage of the cells results in the induction of replicative senescence. These dramatic phenotypic switches confound interpretation of experimental data obtained with cultured CFs. In an attempt to circumvent TCPS-induced activation and senescence of CFs, we utilized poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels as cell culture platforms with low and high stiffness formulations to mimic healthy and fibrotic cardiac ECM, respectively. As hypothesized, low hydrogel stiffness converted activated CFs into a quiescent state with reduced abundance of a-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA)-containing stress fibers. Unexpectedly, lower substrate stiffness concomitantly augmented CF senescence, marked by elevated senescence-associated b-galactosidase (SA-b-Gal) activity and increased expression of p16 and p21, which are cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors and markers of senescence. Using dynamically stiffening hydrogels with phototunable crosslinking capabilities, we demonstrate that substrate-induced CF senescence is partially reversible. RNA-sequencing analysis revealed widespread transcriptional reprogramming of CFs cultured on low stiffness hydrogels, with a dramatic reduction in the expression of profibrotic genes encoding ECM proteins, and an attendant increase in expression of NF-kB-responsive inflammatory genes that typify the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Our findings further demonstrate that alterations in matrix stiffness profoundly impact CF cell state transitions, and suggest mechanisms by which CFs change phenotype in vivo depending on the stiffness of the myocardial microenvironment to which they are exposed.

Project description:The substrate stiffness plays an important role in mediating the cellular behavior. Neutrophils predominate the early inflammatory response and initiate the regeneration. The neutrophil activation can be regulated by physical cues. However, it is not known how neutrophils respond to substrate stiffness, which is of significant importance in determining the outcomes of engineered tissue mimics. Herein, a three-dimensional culture system made of hydrogel for bone marrow-derived neutrophils was developed to explore the effects of varying stiffness (1.5, 2.6, and 5.7 kPa) on neutrophil phenotype and polarization states.

Project description:Elevated intraocular pressure, a major risk factor of glaucoma, is caused by the abnormal function of trabecular outflow pathways. Human trabecular meshwork (HTM) tissue plays an important role in the outflow pathways. However, the molecular mechanisms that how TM cells respond to the elevated IOP are largely unknown. We cultured primary HTM cells on polyacrylamide gels with tunable stiffness corresponding to Young's moduli ranging from 1.1 to 50 kPa. Then next‐generation RNA sequencing (RNA‐seq) was performed to obtain the transcriptomic profiles of HTM cells. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that genes related to glaucoma including DCN, SPARC, and CTGF, were significantly increased with elevated substrate stiffness, as well as the global alteration of HTM transcriptome. Extracellular matrix (ECM)‐related genes were selectively activated in response to the elevated substrate stiffness, consistent with the known molecular alteration in glaucoma. Human normal and glaucomatous TM tissues were also obtained to perform RNA‐seq experiments and supported the substrate stiffness‐altered transcriptome profiles from the in vitro cell model. The current study profiled the transcriptomic changes in human TM cells upon increasing substrate stiffness. Global change of ECM‐related genes indicates that the in vitro substrate stiffness could greatly affect the biological processes of HTM cells. The in vitro HTM cell model could efficiently capture the main pathogenetic process in glaucoma patients, and provide a powerful method to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms.
