Project description:Efficient angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, underlie tissue growth during development. Blood vessels in the mouse ear has been shown to dramatically expand at the neonatal stage to meet the needs of postnatal tissue growth. Yet, it is not clear at the transcriptome level how endothelial cells lining the innermost layer of blood vessels drive angiogenesis at this developmental stage. The highly heterogeneous endothelial cell types during angiogenesis render traditional bulk RNA-sequencing unsuitable. Therefore, we utilized single-cell RNA- and CITE-seq to profile transcriptomic heterogeneity of both blood and lymphatic endothelial cells during developmental angiogenesis in mouse ear.

Project description:The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling system contributes to tumor angiogenesis and vascular remodeling. Here, we show PDGF-BB markedly induces erythropoietin (EPO) mRNA and protein expression by targeting the PDGFR-beta+ stromal and perivascular compartments. In mouse tumor models, PDGF-BB-induced EPO promotes tumor growth via two mechanisms: 1) paracrine stimulation of tumor angiogenesis by directly inducing endothelial cell proliferation, migration, sprouting and tube formation; and 2) endocrine stimulation of extramedullary hematopoiesis leading to increased oxygen perfusion and protection against tumor-associated anemia. Similarly, delivery of an adenovirus-PDGF-BB to tumor-free mice markedly increases EPO production and hematopoietic parameters. An EPO blockade specifically attenuates PDGF-BB-induced tumor growth, angiogenesis and hematopoiesis. At the molecular level, we show that the PDGF-BB-PDGFR-beta signaling system activates EPO promoter via in part transcriptional regulation of ATF3 by possible association with c-Jun and SP1. These findings uncover a novel mechanism of PDGF-BB-induced tumor growth, angiogenesis and hematopoiesis. Comparison of S17 stromal cells treated with PDGF-BB for 72h to control

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:This research study will test the safety of the investigational drug, ZD6474, in combination with 2 other drugs that are standard in the treatment of colon and rectal cancer (cetuximab and irinotecan). ZD6474 blocks the action of two substances in the body: vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). VEGFR stimulates the formation of new blood vessels. When cancer cells produce VEGFR, new blood vessels are made that provide blood to the cancer cells. The blood carries nutrients and oxygen, allowing the cancer cells to live and grow. EGFR controls how quickly cells grow and multiply. Both of these substances are found on normal cells, but they are found in much higher levels on cancer cells.

Project description:Angiogenesis inhibitors, such as sunitinib, represent a promising strategy to improve glioblastoma (GBM) tumor response. In this study, we used the O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT)-negative GBM cell line U87MG stably transfected with MGMT (U87/MGMT) to assess whether MGMT expression affects the response to sunitinib. We showed that the addition of sunitinib to standard therapy (temozolomide [TMZ] and radiation therapy [RT]) significantly improved the response of MGMT positive but not of MGMT-negative cells. Gene expression profiling revealed alterations in the angiogenic profile, as well as differential expression of several receptor tyrosine kinases targeted by sunitinib. MGMT-positive cells displayed higher levels of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR-1) compared with U87/EV cells, whereas they displayed decreased levels of VEGFR-2. Depleting MGMT using O6-benzylguanine suggested that the expression of these receptors was directly related to the MGMT status. Also, we showed that MGMT expression was associated with a dramatic increase in the soluble VEGFR-1/VEGFA ratio, thereby suggesting a decrease in bioactive VEGFA and a shift towards an antiangiogenic profile. The reduced angiogenic potential of MGMT-positive cells is supported by: (i) the decreased ability of their secreted factors to induce endothelial tube formation in vitro and (ii) their low tumorigenicity in vivo compared with the MGMT-negative cells. Our study is the first to show a direct link between MGMT expression and decreased angiogenicity and tumorigenicity of GBM cells and suggests the combination of sunitinib and standard therapy as an alternative strategy for GBM patients with MGMT-positive tumors. RNA was isolated from parental U87 (U87_EV) and MGMT-transfected U87 (U87_MGMT) triplicate. Pairwise gene expression differences were compared between the two cell lines. Features selected had more than 2-fold up-or down-regulated (P values of >05, unpaired Studentâs t-test with Bonferroni multiple testing correction) were identified. Database for annotation, visualization, and integrated discovery23 was used to identify enriched gene ontology (GO) biological themes.24 The GO data mining was conducted at a term specificity level 3.25 The EASE score was set at 0.05 and the minimum number of genes in a category was 5.

Project description:To identify previously unknown determinants of endothelial cell sprouting, we defined and exploited a pharmacological strategy for the manipulation of angiogenic cell behavior in vivo. Whereas high vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (Vegfr) signaling is known to promote tip cell (TC) specification, activation of the Notch receptor via its ligand Delta-like 4 (Dll4) represses the TC phenotype to promote stalk cell (SC) fate. Conversely, suppression of Notch activity upon antagonistic interaction with its ligand Jagged1 pro- motes TC formation. Hence, specification of TCs involves tight spatiotemporal control of Vegfr/Notch signaling. Consequently, we hypothesized that the pharmacological manipulation of Vegfr/Notch signaling selectively during zebrafish intersegmental vessel (ISV) angiogenesis would enable the precise control of angiogenic EC behavior and sprouting- associated gene expression in vivo. For more information, see Herbert et al., 2012, PMID 22921365.

Project description:Formation of blood vessels requires the concerted regulation of an unknown number of genes in a spatial-, time- and dosage-dependent manner. We investigated vascular development in vivo by determining global gene regulation throughout the formation of the chick chorio-allantoic membrane (CAM). Our study provides a comprehensive molecular map of vascular maturation during developmental angiogenesis and might thus be a valuable resource to streamline further research of candidates susceptible to mediate pathological angiogenesis.
