Project description:Neovascularization contributes to multiple visual disorders including age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Current therapies for treating ocular angiogenesis are centered on the inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). While clinically effective, some AMD patients are refractory or develop resistance to anti-VEGF and concerns of increased risks of developing geographic atrophy following long-term treatment have been raised. Identification of alternative pathways to inhibit pathological angiogenesis is thus important. We have identified a novel inhibitor of angiogenesis, COCO/DAND5, a member of the Cerberus-related DAN family. We demonstrate that COCO inhibits sprouting, migration and cellular proliferation of cultured endothelial cells. Intravitreal injections of COCO inhibited retinal vascularization during development and in models of retinopathy of prematurity and AMD. COCO equally abrogated angiogenesis in choroid explants and in a model of choroidal neovascularization. Mechanistically, COCO inhibited the expression of TGFβ and BMP pathwaysand altered ATP production, glucose uptake and redox balance of endothelial cells. Together, these data show that COCO is an inhibitor of retinal and choroidal angiogenesis, possibly representing a therapeutic option for the treatment of neovascular ocular diseases.

Project description:Roundabout (ROBO) 1 and 2 are transmembrane receptors that bind secreted SLIT ligands through their extracellular domains (ECD), and signal through their cytoplasmic domains to modulate the cytoskeleton and regulate cell migration, adhesion, and proliferation. SLIT-ROBO signaling was discovered as a guidance cue for axons in the developing nervous system, but ROBO receptors are expressed by many additional cell types and more broadly regulate organ morphogenesis, as well as cancer and pathological ocular neovascularization. As pharmacological tools to prevent SLIT-ROBOR signaling are lacking, herein we developed human monoclonal antibodies (mAb ) against the ROBO1 and 2 ECD. One antibody that inhibited in vitro SLIT2 signaling through ROBO1/2 reduced ocular neovascularization in two pathological models in vivo . Single cell RNA sequencing revealed that antibody treatment affected several cell types relevant to angiogenesis, including endothelial cells, pericytes, and a heterogeneous population of myeloid cells. mAb treatment improved Blood-Retina Barrier integrity and prevented pathological pericyte activation . SLIT-ROBO signaling inhibition prevented pathological activation of myeloid cells, which was phenocopied by both myeloid cell specific ablation of Robo1 and 2 and by knockout of the downstream effector Pi3kγ . Anti-ROBO1/2 blocking antibodies may thus provide a new promising strategy to combat inflammation in blinding eye diseases.

Project description:We used single cell RNA-seq to comprehensively map all retinal microglia populations in a mouse model of oxygen-induced PR. We unveiled several unique types of PR-associated microglia (PRAM) and identified markers, signaling pathways, and regulons associated with these cells. Among these microglial subpopulations, we found a highly proliferative subset of cells with a high self-renewal capacity and a subset of cells with hypermetabolism that expresses high levels of activating microglia markers, glycolytic enzymes, and pro-angiogenic insulin-like growth factor 1. Immunohistochemical staining shows that PRAMs were spatially located within neovascular tufts. These unique microglial subtypes have the potential to promote retinal angiogenesis, which may have important implications for the future treatment of PR and other ocular diseases characterized by pathological angiogenesis.

Project description:<p>The retina is a notable tissue with high metabolic needs which relies on specialized vascular networks to protect the neural retina while maintaining constant supplies of oxygen, nutrients and dietary essential fatty acids. Here we analyzed the lipidome of the mouse retina under healthy and pathological angiogenesis using the oxygen-induced retinopathy model. By matching lipid profiles to changes in mRNA transcriptome, we identified a lipid signature showing that pathological angiogenesis leads to intense lipid remodeling favoring pathways for neutral lipid synthesis, cholesterol import/export and lipid droplet formation. Noteworthy, it also shows profound changes in pathways for long-chain fatty acid production, vital for retina homeostasis. The net result is accumulation of large quantities of mead acid, a marker of essential fatty acid deficiency, and a potential marker for retinopathy severity. Thus, our lipid signature might contribute to better understand diseases of the retina that lead to vision impairment or blindness.</p>

Project description:Neovascular eye diseases including retinopathy of prematurity, diabetic retinopathy and age-related-macular-degeneration are major causes of blindness. Fenofibrate treatment in type 2 diabetes patients reduces progression of diabetic retinopathy independent of its peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)α agonist lipid lowering effect. The mechanism is unknown. Fenofibrate binds to and inhibits cytochrome P450 epoxygenase (CYP)2C with higher affinity than to PPARα. CYP2C metabolizes ω-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs). While ω-3 LCPUFA products from other metabolizing pathways decrease retinal and choroidal neovascularization, CYP2C products of both ω-3 and ω-6 LCPUFAs promote angiogenesis. We hypothesized that fenofibrate inhibits retinopathy by reducing CYP2C ω-3 LCPUFA (and ω-6 LCPUFA) pro-angiogenic metabolites. Fenofibrate reduced retinal and choroidal neovascularization in PPARα-/-mice and augmented ω-3 LCPUFA protection via CYP2C inhibition. Fenofibrate suppressed retinal and choroidal neovascularization in mice overexpressing human CYP2C8 in endothelial cells and reduced plasma levels of the pro-angiogenic ω-3 LCPUFA CYP2C8 product, 19,20-epoxydocosapentaenoic acid. 19,20-epoxydocosapentaenoic acid reversed fenofibrate-induced suppression of angiogenesis ex vivo and suppression of endothelial cell functions in vitro. In summary fenofibrate suppressed retinal and choroidal neovascularization via CYP2C inhibition as well as by acting as an agonist of PPARα. Fenofibrate augmented the overall protective effects of ω-3 LCPUFAs on neovascular eye diseases.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Studies in human MS and its animal model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) have shown that new abnormal vessels develop in demyelinating plaques through pathological neo-angiogenesis, which exacerbates MS/EAE pathology by contributing to the leakage of serum components and infiltration of immune cells into the CNS. However, the cellular origin and the signaling pathways underlying this pathology remain poorly understood. Here, using single-cell RNA sequencing and validation with in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence, we discovered that neo-angiogenesis is initiated specifically by venous endothelial cells during EAE. Moreover, we identified VEGF-A signaling as the primary driver of neo-angiogenesis in EAE, as treatment with the VEGF-A blocking antibody, bevacizumab, ameliorated the EAE pathology by reducing neo-angiogenesis in vivo. Our findings may lead to the development of novel therapeutics designed to reduce neo-angiogenesis and improve long-term neurological deficits in MS.
