The RNA helicase Ddx21 controls Vegfc-driven developmental lymphangiogenesis by balancing endothelial cell ribosome biogenesis and p53-p21 signalling [zebrafish]

ABSTRACT: The development of a differentiated and functional vasculature requires coordinated control of cell fate specification, lineage differentiation and vascular network growth. Cellular proliferation is spatiotemporally regulated in developing vessel networks but how this is achieved and differentially controlled in specific lineages is unknown. Using a zebrafish forward genetic screen for mutants that form blood vessels but fail to form lymphatic vessels, we uncovered a mutant for the RNA helicase Ddx21. Ddx21 cell-autonomously regulates the early development of lymphatic endothelial cells. Ddx21 is essential for Vegfc-Vegfr3 driven endothelial cell proliferation. Ddx21 is an established regulator of ribosomal RNA transcription and in the absence of Ddx21, mutant lymphatic endothelial cells show reduced ribosome biogenesis. Ultimately, loss of Ddx21 leads to a p53-p21 dependent cell cycle arrest that blocks embryonic lymphangiogenesis. Thus, the RNA helicase Ddx21 coordinates the endothelial cell proliferative response to Vegfc-Vegfr3 signalling by balancing ribosome biogenesis and p53-p21 signalling. This mechanism may have therapeutic potential in diseases of excessive lymphangiogenesis such as in cancer metastasis or lymphatic malformation.

Activation of the VEGFC/VEGFR3 pathway induces cancer immune escape through tumor-associated lymphatic vessels and macrophages in colorectal cancer

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the major causes of cancer-related death in Western countries and is associated with increased numbers of lymphatic vessels (LVs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). The VEGFC/VEGFR3 pathway is regarded as the principal inducer of lymphangiogenesis and it contributes to metastases; however, no data are available on its role during CRC development. We found that both VEGFC and VEGFR3 were upregulated in human non-metastatic CRC, with VEGFR3 localising on both LVs and TAMs. We further proved in different preclinical models of CRC, that VEGFC/VEGFR3 axis can shape both LECs and TAMs to synergically inhibit anti-tumor immunity and promote primary CRC growth. VEGFR3-directed therapy could be envisioned for the treatment of non-metastatic CRC.

VEGFC Upregulates Trans-Lymphatic Colorectal Cancer Metastasis in the Liver via Recruiting Bone Marrow Derived Cells

Project description:While colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRCLM) is major cause of death of colorectal cancer, the mechanism of intrahepatic dissemination (trans-lymphatic metastasis) is not fully elucidated. Lymphangiogenesis can be the mechanism of the dissemination, but there are few evidences to prove it. In this study, we attempted to clarify the mechanism using syngeneic murine CRCLM model, especially focusing on vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC), a promoter of lymphangiogenesis. We confirmed that 1) intrahepatic metastasis of CRCLM via lymphatic vessels was seen and lymphangiogenesis was upregulated in the CRCLM-bearing liver, 2) the degree of lymphangiogenesis and CRCLM was significantly correlated with the expression of VEGFC in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and 3) macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) was released from CRC cells under the stimulation of VEGFC and induced migration of immature bone marrow derived cells into the liver and differentiation into macrophage, which promoted dissemination of CRCLM. These findings suggest the possibility of therapeutic strategy targeting VEGFC / MIP-1α for diminishing CRCLM. In conclusion, VEGFC in CRC cells promoted trans-lymphatic metastasis of CRCLM by upregulation of lymphangiogenesis directly and indirectly via induction of macrophages derived from bone marrow cells.

Meningeal lymphatic vasculature mediates cervical lymph node metastasis of brain tumors through VEGF-C/VEGFR3/eNOS signaling pathway

Project description:Purpose: The rediscovery of meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) suggests a potential linkage between brain tumors and cervical lymph nodes (LNs). In this study, we investigated whether and how meningeal lymphatics regulate the metastasis of brain tumor cells. Experimental Design: We first examined the pattern of MLVs and LNs after tumor cells were injected into the cisterna magna (i.c.m.) or subdural space of mice. The meninges were isolated and analyzed by whole-mount immunofluorescence staining. LN metastasis was analyzed by detecting GFP+ tumor cells. Then we used inducible knock-out mice and AAV-VEGF-C delivery system to study the function of MLVs in mediating the metastasis of brain tumor cells. Finally, RNA-seq was used to determine the expression profiles of meningeal lymphatic endothelial cells (mLECs) in mice with or without tumors. The roles of the endothelial nitric oxide synthetase (eNOS) were evaluated both genetically and pharmacologically in vivo. Results: Meningeal lymphangiogenesis induced by GL261 and B16 tumors was correlated with dCLN swelling and metastasis. dCLN metastasis was suppressed in MLV-defective mice, while promoted in AAV-VEGF-C-treated mice. In addition, we found that VEGF-C/VEGFR3 signaling regulated both meningeal and tumor lymphangiogenesis. Tumor-associated mLECs have a distinct transcriptomic signature, which highly express eNOS. Furthermore, genetic or pharmacological inhibition of eNOS significantly suppressed meningeal lymphangiogenesis and dCLN metastasis. Conclusions: The meningeal lymphatic vasculature mediates the metastasis of brain tumors to cervical LNs, mainly through a VEGF-C/VEGFR3-eNOS signaling pathway, suggesting that MLV may be a potential therapeutic target for the extracranial metastasis of brain tumors.

Specific fibroblast subpopulations and neuronal structures serve as local sources of Vegfc-processing components during lymphangiogenesis

Project description:Proteolytical processing of the growth factor VEGFC through the concerted activity of CCBE1 and ADAMTS3 is required for lymphatic development to occur. How these factors act together in time and space, and which cell types produce these factors is not understood. Here we assess the function of Adamts3 and the related protease Adamts14 during zebrafish lymphangiogenesis and show both proteins to be able to process Vegfc. Only the simultaneous loss of both protein functions results in lymphatic defects identical to vegfc loss-of-function situations. Cell transplantation experiments demonstrate neuronal structures and/or fibroblasts to constitute cellular sources not only for both proteases but also for Ccbe1 and Vegfc. We further show that it is the local restriction of Vegfc maturation which is needed to trigger normal lymphatic sprouting and directional migration. Our data provide a single-cell resolution model for establishing secretion and processing hubs for Vegfc during developmental lymphangiogenesis

Dermal lymphatic endothelial cell response to type 2 diabetes [Homo sapiens]

Project description:Analysis of ex vivo isolated lymphatic endothelial cells from the dermis of patients to define type 2 diabetes-induced changes. Results preveal aberrant dermal lymphangiogenesis and provide insight into its role in the pathogenesis of persistent skin inflammation in type 2 diabetes. The ex vivo dLEC transcriptome reveals a dramatic influence of the T2D environment on multiple molecular and cellular processes, mirroring the phenotypic changes seen in T2D affected skin. The positively and negatively correlated dLEC transcripts directly cohere to prolonged inflammatory periods and reduced infectious resistance of patientsÂ´ skin. Further, lymphatic vessels might be involved in tissue remodeling processes during T2D induced skin alterations associated with impaired wound healing and altered dermal architecture. Hence, dermal lymphatic vessels might be directly associated with T2D disease promotion. Global gene expression profile of normal dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (ndLECs) compared to dermal lymphatic endothelial cells derived from type 2 diabetic patients (dLECs).Quadruplicate biological samples were analyzed from human lymphatic endothelial cells (4 x diabetic; 4 x non-diabetic). subsets: 1 disease state set (dLECs), 1 control set (ndLECs)

Macrophage-produced VEGFC is induced by efferocytosis to resolve inflammation and improve ventricular function after myocardial infarction (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Recent reports have suggested a protective role for vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGFC) during acute cardiac lymphangiogenesis post MI. Glinton et al. report that defective efferocytosis by macrophages after experimental MI leads to a reduction in cardiac lymphangiogenesis and Vegfc expression.
