Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators in a variety of human diseases. It has been suggested that dysregulation of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) phenotype is a critical early event in the fibrotic process. However, the biological function of lncRNAs in LSECs still remains unclear. Here, we identified that lncRNA-Airn was significantly up-regulated in liver tissues and LSECs of CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. Moreover, the expression of AIRN in human cirrhotic liver tissues and serums was remarkably increased as compared with healthy controls. In vivo studies showed that Airn deficiency aggravated CCl4- and BDL-induced liver fibrosis, while Airn overexpression by adeno-associated viral vector serotype 8 vector alleviated CCl4-induced liver fibrosis. Furthermore, we revealed that Airn maintained LSECs differentiation in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, Airn inhibited hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activation indirectly by regulating LSECs differentiation and promoted hepatocytes (HCs) proliferation by the increased paracrine secretion of Wnt2a and HGF from LSECs. Mechanistically, our results demonstrated that Airn maintained LSECs differentiation through KLF2-endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) pathway, thereby promoting HSCs quiescence and HCs proliferation. In conclusion, our work identified that Airn is beneficial to liver fibrosis by maintaining LSECs differentiation and might be a novel serum biomarker for liver fibrogenesis.

Project description:To test if the imprinted long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Airn transcription or its product silences the protein-coding Igf2r gene, we shortened the endogenous lncRNA to four different lengths by inserting polyadenylation (polyA) cassettes on the paternal chromosome via homologous recombination in ES cells. ES cell differentiation was used to recapitulate the developmental onset of Airn and Igf2r imprinted expression and polyA cassettes inserted before (T3, T16, T27) or after (T31, T51) the Igf2r promoter successfully truncated Airn, with the exception of T27. RNA hybridization to a tiling array (MIRTA) demonstrated loss of Airn upstream of the Igf2r promoter (except T27) and absence of novel spliced variants in all truncation alleles. To further test the transcriptional overlap model we moved the Airn promoter ~700bp before the Igf2r TSS in ES cells that lack an endogenous paternal Airn promoter and called this cell line FAP (Forward-Airn-Promoter). RNA hybridization to a tiling array (MIRTA) demonstrated that the moved Airn promoter expresses Airn in wildtype orientation and terminates at the wildtype 3' end. ES cell lines expressing different Airn variants were differentiated on gelatinized dishes after feeder cell depletion and LIF withdrawal by 0.27M-BM-5M retinoic acid for 5 days and Airn length was assayed.

Project description:Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) catalyzes the conversion of L-arginine and molecular oxygen into L-citrulline and nitric oxide (NO), a gaseous second messenger that influences cardiovascular physiology and disease. Several mechanisms regulate eNOS activity and function, including phosphorylation at Ser and Thr residues and protein-protein interactions. Combining a tandem affinity purification approach and mass spectrometry, we identified stromal cell-derived factor 2 (SDF2) as a component of the eNOS macromolecular complex in endothelial cells. SDF2 knockdown impaired agonist stimulated NO synthesis and decreased phosphorylation of eNOS at Ser1177, a key event required for maximal activation of eNOS. Conversely, SDF2 overexpression dose-dependently increased NO synthesis through a mechanism involving Akt and calcium (induced with ionomycin), which increased the phosphorylation of Ser1177 in eNOS. NO synthesis by iNOS (inducible NOS) and nNOS (neuronal NOS) was also enhanced upon SDF2 overexpression. We found that SDF2 was a client protein of the chaperone protein Hsp90, interacting preferentially with the M domain of Hsp90, which is the same domain that binds to eNOS. In endothelial cells exposed to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), SDF2 was required for the binding of Hsp90 and calmodulin to eNOS, resulting in eNOS phosphorylation and activation. Thus, our data describe a function for SDF2 as a component of the Hsp90-eNOS complex that is critical for signal transduction in endothelial cells.

Project description:Extensive reports in the past decade have shown the importance of eNOS expression in atherogenesis. However, both the eNOS knockout and overexpression mouse models exhibit paradoxical results of increased atherosclerotic lesions. Our genetic approach herein utilizes endogenous point-mutations at the eNOS S1176 site to effectively manipulate eNOS activity rather than total eNOS protein expression levels. Our efforts definitively show that eNOS S1176 phosphorylation is sufficient to mitigate atherosclerotic lesion progression.

Project description:In the developing mouse embryo, expression of the lncRNA Airn induces gene silencing and recruits Polycomb Repressive Complexes (PRCs) to varying extents over a 15 megabase domain, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Using high-resolution approaches, we show in mouse trophoblast stem cells that Airn expression induces long-range changes to chromatin architecture centered around a network of CpG islands occupied by PRCs and SMC1A/Cohesin. Extent of contact with Airn predicts underlying intensity of Polycomb-directed chromatin modifications and Airn-induced changes to chromatin architecture. Deletion of individual CpG islands alternately increase or decrease gene silencing and PRC activity over the domain in a manner predicted by changes in chromatin architecture. We conclude that Airn is a potent repressive lncRNA whose effects are controlled by an equilibratory network of DNA regulatory elements that modulate its frequency of contact with target chromatin.
