Project description:Notch signaling is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that functions via direct cell-cell contact. The Notch ligand Jagged1 (Jag1) has been extensively studied in vascular development, particularly for its role in smooth muscle cell maturation. Endothelial cell-expressed Jag1 is essential for blood vessel formation by signaling to nascent vascular smooth muscle cells and promoting their differentiation. Given the established importance of Jag1 in endothelial cell/smooth muscle crosstalk during development, we sought to determine the extent of this communication in the adult vasculature for blood vessel function and homeostasis.

Project description:Background. Heterogeneity in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) has been classically defined with a small set of predefined markers. Single cell genomics provides a unique unbiased approach to evaluate VSMC phenotypes. Objectives. The goal of this study was to define the heterogeneity of primary murine VSMCs grown in culture. VSMCs grown in culture are routinely used as a model of VSMCs in the vessel wall. We wanted to better understand the assumptions of this model. RNA sequencing was performed on single aortic VSMCs from 3-4 month old male mice at passages 1 and 2 (P1 and P2). Single cell contractility measurements were performed using Traction Force microscopy.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts that were flow cytometry-separated from cocultures with control or Jagged1-overexpressing tumor cells and treated with either DMSO control or 1μM MRK-003 (gamma-secretase inhibitor). One cell line (MC3T3-E1) cells: four different experimental conditions: cultured with (1) control tumor cells + DMSO; (2) Jagged1-overexpressing tumor cells + DMSO; (3) control tumor cells + MRK-003; (4) Jagged1-overexpressing tumor cells + MRK-003. Each experiment has two biological replicates. Total, 8 samples.

Project description:The present study aimed to determine mRNA expression profilling of indirect immobilized Jagged1 treated human dental pulp cells. Human dental pulp cells were seeded on indirect immobilized Jagged1 surface for 24 h. Cells on hFc immobilized surface was employed as the control. RNA sequencing was performed using NextSeq500, Illumina. Data were processed on FastQC and FastQ Toolkit and subsequently mapped with Homo sapiens hg38 using TopHat2. Mapped data were processed through Cufflink2 and Cuffdiff2. Results demonstrated 1,465 differentially expressed genes in Jagged1 treated cells compared with the control. Enriched pathway analysis revealed that Jagged1 treated cells upregulated genes mainly involved in extracellular matrix organization, disease, and signal transduction categories. However, genes related to cell cycle, DNA replication and DNA repair categories were downregulated. In conclusion, Jagged1 activates Notch signaling and regulates cell cycle pathway in hDPs.

Project description:Proinflammatory activation of endothelial cells leads to recruitment of leukocytes by upregulation of adhesion molecules and presentation of chemoattractants. In response to such activation there is also a strong shift in the endothelial expression of Notch ligands, with downregulation of Dll4 and a upregulation of JAG1. To assess whether Jagged1 would affect the endothelial activation profile, we suppressed JAG1 expression during IL-1β-induced activation by means of siRNA and performed a genome-wide transcriptome analysis. Our results show for the first time that Jagged1 modulates the transcription profile of activated endothelial cells and describe data that imply a role for Jagged1 in sharpening the inflammatory profile of the vasculature, giving it an edge towards leukocyte recruitment. These findings imply that Jagged1 might be a potential therapeutic target to attenuate inflammation and reduce tissue damage in inflammatory diseases.

Project description:Previous efforts to conditionally delete the Srf transcription factor in smooth muscle lineages were met with early demise of the mouse due to a gastrointestinal (GI) obstruction phenotype. We have developed a new, more VSMC selective Cre recombinase mouse (Itga8-CreERT2), that circumvents the GI phenotype thus affording the opportunity to evaluate, in an unambiguous manner, VSMC phenotypes where Srf is reduced. The mice live for at least 6 months post-tamoxifen and here we report the first RNA-seq experiments in mouse aortic SMC where Srf is reduced.

Project description:Objective Notch signaling is re-activated in β cells from obese mice, and is causal to β cell dysfunction. Notch activity is determined in part by expression of transmembrane ligand availability in a neighboring cell. We hypothesized that β cell expression of Jagged1 determines the maladaptive Notch response and resultant β cell dysfunction in obese mice. Methods We assessed expression of Notch pathway components in diet-induced obese (DIO) or leptin receptor-deficient (db/db) mice, and performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) in islets from patients with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D). We generated and performed glucose tolerance testing in inducible, β cell-specific Jagged1 gain-of- and loss-of-function mice. We also tested effects of monoclonal neutralizing antibodies to Jagged1 in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) assays in isolated islets. Results Jag1 was the only Notch ligand that tracked with increased Notch activity in DIO and db/db mice. Consistently, JAG1 tracked with Notch activity in metabolically inflexible β cells enriched in patients with T2D. Neutralizing antibodies to block Jagged1 in islets isolated from DIO and db/db mice potentiated GSIS ex vivo. To demonstrate if β cell Jagged1 is sufficient to cause glucose tolerance in vivo, we generated inducible β cell-specific Jag1 transgenic mice (β-Jag1TG), which showed impaired glucose intolerance due to reduced GSIS. However, β cell-specific Jagged1 loss-of-function (β-Jag1KO) did not protect against HFD-induced insulin secretory defects or glucose intolerance. Conclusions Jagged1 is increased in islets from obese mice and in patients with T2D, and neutralizing Jagged1 antibodies lead to improved GSIS, suggesting that inhibition of Jagged1-Notch signaling may have therapeutic benefit. However, genetic loss-of-function experiments suggest that β cells are not a likely source of the Jagged1 signal.
