ARPCs Can Revert Lps-Induced Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition of Endothelial Cells

ABSTRACT: Endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark of LPS-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). Endothelial cells (EC) acquired a fibroblast-like phenotype and contributed to myofibroblasts generation through Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EndMT) process. Noteworthy, ARPCs enhance tubular regenerative mechanism during AKI, but little is known about their effects on EC. Here we investigated whether ARPCs could prevent sepsis-induced EndMT and the related mechanism. When activated by LPS, Human endothelial cells (EC) proliferated and decreased specific EC markers such as CD31 and VE-cadherin and up-regulated myofibroblast markers such as Collagen I and Vimentin. The co-culture with ARPCs normalized EC proliferation rate and abrogated the LPS-induced EndMT by restoring the high expression of EC markers and the low expression of myofibroblast markers. Gene set enrichment analysis showed that most of genes modulated in LPS-stimulated ARPCs belongs to cell activation and defense response pathways. In particular, among most up-regulated genes we found BPIFA2, SAA2, SAA4 and CXCL6. BPIFA2 is recently described as an early biomarker of AKI but little is known about its function in the kidney. The other genes are frequently involved in the response to bacterial infection and kidney injury. Finally, in a swine model of LPS-induced AKI, we observed an increase of CD133+ARPCs that expressed BPIFA2 respect to healthy pigs. Taken together, these results suggest an underestimate role of ARPCS in preventing endothelial dysfuncton by the production of several proteins. The identification of these molecules may offer novel strategies to protect endothelial compartment and promote kidney repair.

Long non-coding RNA MIR503HG controls endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition

Project description:Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a dynamic transformation process that has a functional impact upon pathological vascular remodelling. The molecular mechanisms that govern EndMT remain largely unknown. By induction of EndMT in human primary endothelial cells (EC), using a combination of transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-b2) and interleukin-1b (IL-1β), we identified the dramatic loss of the lncRNA MIR503HG, as a common signature across multiple primary EC types. Targeted depletion of MIR503HG spontaneously induced EndMT. Overexpression of MIR503HG repressed EndMT despite TGF-β2 and IL-1β co-stimulation. RNA-seq was carried out to identify the changes in gene expression induced by MIR503HG overexpression. We showed that over 25% of the EndMT-transcriptome signature was inhibited upon MIR503HG overexpression. Crucially, phenotypic changes induced by MIR503HG were independent of the functional regulation of miR-503 and miR-424, both harbored within the MIR503HG locus. Collectively, we identify the lncRNA MIR503HG as an essential regulator of EndMT.

Endothelial Cells from different anatomical origin have distinct responses during Snail/TGF-β2-mediated Endothelial-Mesenchymal Transition

Project description:Endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a complex process, in which differentiated endothelial cells undergo phenotypic transition to mesenchymal cells. Given the diversity of the vascular system in architecture, structure, and embryonic origins, it is not clear if endothelial cells lining different vessels are able to undergo EndMT. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the molecular and functional changes that occur in different types of endothelial cells after induction of EndMT through overexpression of Snail and TGF-β2. Different types of endothelial cells (human umbilical vein, heart, and lung) have distinct response when induced to undergo EndMT. Coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) induced with combined Snail overexpression plus TGF-β2 treatment promotes a decrease of endothelial markers, an increase of mesenchymal markers and migration. The mechanism that HCAEC undergoing EndMT may be mediated through Notch and non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways. These results provide the foundation for understanding the roles of specific signaling pathways in mediating EndMT in endothelial cells from different anatomical origin.

Multiomic profiling of in vitro models of endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition reveals endothelial cell subtype is a major determinant of fidelity to observed states in atherosclerosis

Project description:Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is an example of endothelial cell (EC) heterogeneity which is commonly modeled in vitro to better understand driving mechanisms of disease proceses, including atherosclerosis. We used multi-modal single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) and ATAC sequencing (snATAC-seq) to analyze the diversity of ECs in vitro, divergent EC responses to known EndMT perturbations, and the ability of in vitro EC known EndMT models to recapitulate the in vivo 'omic profiles of cells observed in atherosclerosis.

Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition compromises vascular integrity to induce hypoxia and Myc mediated metabolic reprogramming of tubular epithelial cells in kidney fibrosis

Project description:The aim of this study was to identify the functional impact of Endothelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EndMT) in kidney fibrosis. For this purpose EndMT has been conditionally deleted in endothelial cells by the genetic deletion of Twist and Snail in the endothelial cells, using the tamoxifen inducible Cdh5-ERT2 Cre model. Twist EndMT–cKO and Snail EndMT–cKO mice, together with WT mice, were challanged with the unilateral ureteral obstruction model (UUO) to induce kidney fibrosis. Mice were euthanized 10 days after surgery. In addition, since we found that EndMT-induced vascular damage and hypoxia induces Myc upregulation in tubular epithelial cells (TECs), we deleted Myc in TECs (using the GGT-Cre model). Myc GGT–cKO mice were also challenged with the UUO model and euthanized 10 days after surgery.

Single cell RNA-seq analysis of endothelial cells (HUVEC) treated with IL1b and TGFb2 as a model of endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT)

Project description:Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a dynamic biological process involved in pathological vascular remodeling. However, the molecular mechanisms that govern this transition remain largely unknown. To study EndMT in vitro, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were treated with transforming growth factor-β2 and interleukin-1β, leading to a decrease of endothelial markers as well as an increase of mesenchymal markers and EndMT regulators after 7 days. Single-cell RNA-seq was carried out to study the dynamics of the transition.

The histone demethylase JMJD2B regulates endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition [microarray]

Project description:Endothelial cells play an important role in maintenance of the vascular system and the repair after injury. Under pro-inflammatory conditions, endothelial cells can acquire a mesenchymal phenotype by a process named endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), which affects the functional properties of endothelial cells. Here, we investigated the epigenetic control of EndMT. We show that the histone demethylase JMJD2B is induced by EndMT promoting pro-inflammatory and hypoxic conditions. Silencing of JMJD2B reduced TGF-β2-induced expression of mesenchymal genes and prevented the alterations in endothelial morphology and impaired endothelial barrier function. Endothelial-specific deletion of JMJD2B in vivo confirmed a reduction of EndMT after myocardial infarction. EndMT did not affect global H3K9me3 levels but induced a site-specific reduction of repressive H3K9me3 marks at promoters of mesenchymal genes, such as Calponin (CNN1), and genes involved in TGF-β signaling, such as AKT Serine/Threonine Kinase 3 (AKT3) and sulfatase 1 (SULF1). Silencing of JMJD2B prevented the EndMT-induced reduction of H3K9me3 marks at these promotors and further repressed these EndMT-related genes. Our study reveals that endothelial identity and function is critically controlled by the histone demethylase JMJD2B, which is induced by EndMT-promoting pro-inflammatory and hypoxic conditions and support the acquirement of a mesenchymal phenotype.

Proteomic analysis of septic renal acute phase response

Project description:Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common form of AKI with poor outcomes. Renal proteomic analysis after bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration revealed that the local renal acute phase reaction (APR) is one of the strongest responses of the kidney during septic AKI in mice. Evaluation of mRNA expression confirmed that most acute phase proteins were produced in the kidney. Our study also provides missing information on the time course of septic renal APR. Proteomic analysis of LPS-induced AKI demonstrated a marked upregulation of local renal acute phase response (APR) that commenced a few hours post injection and peaked at 24 h. Much more APPs were involved in the renal APR than previously identified.

LPS response of cardiovascular endothelial cells transduced with an APEX1(1-20) expressing vector or an empty vector

Project description:Sepsis is an exaggerated immune response upon infection with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as the main causative agent. LPS-induced activation and apoptosis of endothelial cells (EC) can lead to organ dysfunction and finally organ failure. We have previously demonstrated that the first twenty amino acids of the Apurinic/Apyrimidinic Endodeoxyribonuclease 1 (APEX1) are sufficient to inhibit EC apoptosis. To identify genes whose regulation by LPS is affected by this N-terminal APEX1 peptide, EC were transduced with an expression vector for the APEX1 peptide or an empty control vector and treated with LPS. Following RNA deep sequencing, genes upregulated in LPS-treated EC expressing the APEX1 peptide were identified bioinformatically.

A single cell transcriptome atlas of murine endothelial cells

Project description:The heterogeneity of endothelial cells (ECs), lining blood vessels, across tissues remains incompletely inventoried. We constructed an atlas of >32,000 single-EC transcriptomic data from 11 tissues of the model organism Mus musculus. We propose a new classification of EC phenotypes based on transcriptome signatures and inferred putative biological features. We identified top-ranking markers for ECs from each tissue. ECs from different vascular beds (arteries, capillaries, veins, lymphatics) resembled each other across tissues, but only arterial, venous and lymphatic (not capillary) ECs shared markers, illustrating a greater heterogeneity of capillary ECs. We identified high-endothelial-venule and lacteal-like ECs in the intestines, and angiogenic ECs in healthy tissues. Metabolic transcriptomes of ECs differed amongst spleen, lung, liver, brain and testis, while being similar for kidney, heart, muscle and intestines. Within tissues, metabolic gene expression was heterogeneous amongst ECs from different vascular beds, altogether highlighting large EC heterogeneity.
