Project description:The mammalian circadian clock drives daily oscillations in physiology and behavior through an autoregulatory transcription feedback loop present in central and peripheral cells. Ablation of the core clock within the endocrine pancreas of adult animals impairs the transcription and splicing of genes involved in hormone exocytosis and causes hypoinsulinemic diabetes. Here, we developed a genetically sensitized small-molecule screen to identify druggable proteins and mechanistic pathways involved in circadian β-cell failure. Our approach was to generate β-cells expressing a nanoluciferase reporter within the proinsulin polypeptide to screen 2640 pharmacologically active compounds and identify insulinotropic molecules that bypass the secretory defect in CRISPR-Cas9-targeted clock mutant β-cells. We validated hit compounds in primary mouse islets and identified known modulators of ligand-gated ion channels and G-protein-coupled receptors, including the antihelmintic ivermectin. Single-cell electrophysiology in circadian mutant mouse and human cadaveric islets revealed ivermectin as a glucose-dependent secretagogue. Genetic, genomic, and pharmacological analyses established the P2Y1 receptor as a clock-controlled mediator of the insulinotropic activity of ivermectin. These findings identify the P2Y1 purinergic receptor as a diabetes target based upon a genetically sensitized phenotypic screen.

Project description:Trigeminal ganglion (TG) is the first station of sensory pathways in the orofacial region. The TG neurons communicate with satellite glial cells (SGCs), macrophages and other cells forming a functional unit that is responsible for processing of orofacial sensory information. Purinergic signaling, one of the most widespread autocrine and paracrine pathways, plays a crucial role in intercellular communication. The multidirectional action of purinergic signaling in different cell types contributes to the neuromodulation and orofacial sensation. To fully understand the purinergic signaling in these processes, it is essential to determine the shared and unique expression patterns of genes associated with purinergic signaling in different cell types. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of 22,969 cells isolated from normal mouse TGs. We identified 18 distinct cell populations, including 6 neuron subpopulations, 3 glial subpopulations, 7 immune cell subpopulations, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. We also revealed the transcriptional features of genes associated with purinergic signaling, including purinergic receptors, extracellular adenosine triphosphate (eATP) release channels, eATP metabolism-associated enzymes, and eATP transporters) in each cell type. Our results have important implications for understanding and predicting the cell type-specific roles of the purinergic signaling in orofacial signal processing in the trigeminal primary sensory system.

Project description:Despite some success of pharmacotherapies targeting primarily neurohormonal dysregulation, heart failure is a growing global pandemic with increasing burden. Treatments that improve the disease by reversing heart failure at the cardiomyocyte level are lacking. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are transcriptional regulators of gene expression, acting through complex biological networks, and playing thereby essential roles in disease progression. Adverse structural remodelling of the left ventricle due to myocardial infarction (MI) is a common pathological feature leading to heart failure. We previously demonstrated increased cardiomyocyte expression of the miR-212/132 family during pathological cardiac conditions. Transgenic mice overexpressing the miR-212/132 cluster (miR-212/132-TG) develop pathological cardiac remodelling and die prematurely from progressive HF. Using both knockout and antisense strategies, we have shown miR-132 to be both necessary and sufficient to drive the pathological growth of cardiomyocytes in a murine model of left ventricular pressure overload. Based on the findings, we proposed that miR-132 may serve as a therapeutic target in heart failure therapy. Here we provide novel mechanistic insight and translational evidence for the therapeutic efficacy in small and large animal models (n=135) of heart failure. We demonstrate strong PK/PD relationship, dose-dependent efficacy and high clinical potential of a novel optimized synthetic locked nucleic acid phosphorothioate backbone antisense oligonucleotide inhibitor of miR-132 (antimiR-132) as a next-generation heart failure therapeutic.

Project description:The circadian system plays an essential role in regulating timing of body metabolism in humans. Indeed, circadian misalignments are strongly associated with high rates of metabolic disorders. Molecular makeup of the circadian oscillator can be deciphered in cells cultured in vitro, and these cellular rhythms are highly informative of the physiological circadian rhythm in vivo.
We aimed at assessing molecular clock properties in dermal fibroblasts established from the skin biopsies of seventeen Type 2 diabetic obese and non-obese patients and eleven healthy controls. Following in vitro synchronization, primary fibroblast cultures were subjected to continuous assessment of circadian bioluminescence profiles based on lentiviral luciferase reporters.
We observed a strong inverse correlation between HbA1c values and circadian period length within cells from the Type 2 diabetic group. RNA sequencing analysis conducted in this group samples revealed that ICAM1 encoding for the endothelial adhesion protein was differentially expressed between Type 2 diabetic compensated and non-compensated fibroblasts, and correlated with the period length. Furthermore, ICAM1 expression is driven by rhythmic CLOCK binding.
We provide for the first time a potential molecular link between severity of Type 2 diabetes and circadian clock machinery, which paves a way for further mechanistic understanding of circadian oscillator changes upon Type 2 diabetes in humans.

Project description:Purinergic P2 receptors are critical regulators of several functions within the vascular system, including platelet aggregation, vascular inflammation and vascular tone. A role for ATP release and P2Y receptors in angiogenesis has been implicated, however, the involvement of purinergic signalling in endothelial sprouting and vascular growth remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that blood vessel growth is controlled by P2Y2 receptors. Inhibition of P2Y2 using a selective antagonist or modulation of P2Y2 receptor expression significantly influenced sprouting and vascular tube formation. Mechanistically, overexpression of P2Y2 in endothelial cells resulted in increased expression of the pro-angiogenic molecules CXCR4, CD34 and angiopoietin-2, while expression of Tie2 and VEGFR-2 decreased. Interestingly, elevated P2Y2 expression caused constitutive phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and VEGFR-2. However, stimulation of cells with the P2Y2 agonist UTP did not influence sprouting unless P2Y2 was constitutively expressed, indicating that enhanced receptor expression, and not activation, is the primary trigger for angiogenesis. Our data suggest that P2Y2 receptors have an essential function in angiogenesis through cross-talk of P2Y2 and VEGFR-2 and that P2Y2 may represent a therapeutic target to regulate blood vessel growth.

Project description:To evaluate differentially expressed circRNAs in patients with recurrent implantation failure, we used circRNA microarrays to screen circRNA expression profiles in endometrial biopsies from 6 women with recurrent implantation failure and controls. Our study revealed for the first time a unique set of circRNA expression signatures in the endometrial tissue of patients with repeated implantation failure, which may provide new molecular candidates for the diagnosis and clinical treatment of embryo implantation failure.
