RNA-seq analysis of match paired papillary and reticular skin fibroblasts cultivated as pro-angiogenic cell sheets

ABSTRACT: The aim of our study was to determin if papillary and reticular fibroblasts cell sheets expressed distinct genes involved in angiogenesis regulation and extracellular matrix. Thanks to our RNAseq analyssis, we demonstrated that papillary and reticular fibroblasts express specific signature of genes related to secreted angiogenic regulators and matrisome genes, suggesting that each subtype of fibroblasts differently regulate the formation of capillary via secreted factors and the microenvironment they generate. We confirmed this hypothesis with functional angiogenesis model in vitro. Overall, we show that papillary fibroblasts have a greater angiogenic potential and support the formation of dense branched vascular netword. On the other hand, reticular fibroblasts allow the formation of fewer vessel of larger diameter. This resultats are coherent with native skin vasculature and suggest that each fibroblasts subtypes play a role in regulating skin vascularisation.

Human dermal fibroblast subpopulations display distinct gene signatures related to cell behaviours and matrisome.

Project description:The upper papillary and deeper reticular dermis differ structurally and functionally. Although the papillary and reticular fibroblasts produced distinct extracellular matrix (ECM), the matrisome of these two fibroblast subpopulations has not been defined. Therefore we performed a transcriptomic analysis of papillary and reticular fibroblasts freshly isolated from skin of young donors around 20, at a time they produced high level of ECM. Bioinformatics analysis delivered 230 upregulated and 139 downregulated transcripts in papillary vs reticular fibroblasts. Expression of various selected genes was validated by q-PCR. The papillary fibroblasts were characterized by a higher expression of genes involved in the defense function, in the regulation of cell motility and proliferation and in the MAPK cascade whereas reticular fibroblasts showed higher expression of genes related to the development of connective tissues. Papillary fibroblasts were characterized by the expression of a high number of matrisome-associated genes whereas reticular fibroblasts gene signature mainly related to the core matrisome and ECM regulators. The regulation of selected genes was validated at protein level attesting to the robustness of the transcriptome analysis. Altogether, our data brought new insights into an ECM signature that is coherent with the organization and function of the papillary and reticular dermis.

Expression data from human dermal fibroblast subpopulations

Project description:Fibroblasts are the main dermis-resident cells, yet they remain poorly characterized. Fundamentally, fibroblasts originate from the same population of mesenchymal cells but fibroblast subpopulations have been identified. Papillary and reticular fibroblasts were characterized based on their respective location in the papillary and reticular dermis. Here, we identified a new subset of fibroblasts, located in human papillary dermis and displaying specific features such as their organization into cell clusters. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression profiles of the novel fibroblast subpopulation we have identified compared to papillary and reticualr fibroblasts and notably the relative contribution of the different fibroblast subpopulations to the extracellular matrix of the dermis.

Gene expression analysis of papillary and reticular dermis microdissected from the same skin sample

Project description:The dermis is divided into two distinct layers. The upper, papillary dermis is characterized by thin and sparse fibers. The lower, reticular dermis is composed of solid tissue made up of thicker highly dense fibers. It has been reported that cultured fibroblasts isolated from the papillary and the reticular dermis exhibit different properties. In this study, we analyzed gene expression profiles of human papillary dermis and reticular dermis obtained using laser capture microdissection.

Regulating the angiogenic balance in tissues

Project description:A balance between angiogenesis inducers and inhibitors in the microenvironment controls the rate of new blood vessel formation. We hypothesized that fibroblasts, an important cellular constituent of the tissue stroma, secrete molecules that contribute to this balance. We further hypothesized that fibroblasts secrete molecules that promote angiogenesis when they are in a proliferative state and molecules that inhibit angiogenesis when they are not actively cycling (quiescent). Microarray analysis revealed that angiogenesis inducers and inhibitors are regulated as fibroblasts transition into a quiescent state and reenter the cell cycle in response to changes in serum. To assess whether changes in transcript levels result in changes in the levels of secreted proteins, we collected conditioned medium from proliferating and quiescent fibroblasts and performed immunoblotting for selected proteins. Secreted protein levels of the angiogenesis inhibitor pigment epithelium derived factor (PEDF) were higher in quiescent than proliferating fibroblasts. Conversely, proliferating fibroblasts secreted increased levels of the angiogenesis inducer vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C). For the angiogenesis inhibitor thrombospondin-2, quiescent cells secreted a prominent 160 kDa form in addition to the 200 kDa form secreted by proliferating and restimulated fibroblasts. Using immunohistochemistry we discovered that fibroblasts surround blood vessels and that the angiogenesis inhibitor PEDF is expressed by quiescent fibroblasts in uterine tissue, supporting a role for PEDF in maintaining quiescence of the vasculature. This work takes a new approach to the study of angiogenesis by examining the expression of multiple angiogenesis regulators secreted from a key stromal cell, the fibroblast. mRNAs were analyzed by two color microarray from a human neonatal dermal fibroblasts cell line over a timecourse of serum starvation and serum restimulation.

Tenascin-C promotes tumor angiogenesis through pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic effects involving YAP, Ephrin-B2 and CXCL12 signaling

Project description:In the tumor microenvironment the extracellular matrix molecule tenascin-C is highly expressed which correlates with worsened survival prognosis. Tenascin-C promotes multiple steps in cancer progression. In particular, tenascin-C promotes the tumor angiogenic switch and the formation of more but poorly functional blood vessels by ill defined mechanisms. Here, we studied tenascin-C angio-modulatory functions by tumor and stromal cells. Unexpectedly, we observed that direct contact of endothelial cells with tenascin-C impairs angiogenesis through disruption of actin polymerization. This resulted in cytoplasmic retention of the F-actin sensor and co-transcription factor YAP and led to downregulation of YAP pro-angiogenic target genes. Conversely, tumor cells and carcinoma associated fibroblasts exposed to tenascin-C secreted pro-angiogenic factors that promoted endothelial cell survival and tubulogenesis. We identified and functionally validated CXCL12 and Ephrin- B2 as important pro-angiogenic effectors of tenascin-C. Proteomic analysis of the secretome of tumor cells exposed to tenascin-C revealed a signature that predicts shorter survival of patients with low grade glioma and glioblastoma with a particular significance for a combined expression of tenascin-C and Ephrin-B2. Altogether, we demonstrated a dual mechanism of action of tenascin-C in tumor angiogenesis where direct contact of endothelial cells with tenascin-C impairs angiogenesis, and paracrine signals derived from contact of tumor cells and carcinoma associated fibroblasts with tenascin-C promotes angiogenesis. These opposing effects provide for the first time an explanation of divergent mechanisms controlled by tenascin-C which can result in a denser but less functional tumor blood vasculature and might unveil new targeting and prediction opportunities.

miR-765 induces angiogenesis by inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase 4 and increasing fibroblast growth factor 2

Project description:Given that extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted from stem cells contain angiogenic microRNAs (miRNAs), these EVs show equivalent angiogenic therapeutic effect to cell transplantation. This study aimed to identify the angiogenic miRNAs from several miRNAs involved in EVs secreted from stem cells. In human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) under hypoxic culture, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) involved in EVs increased. We hypothesized that angiogenic miRNAs increase in EVs that are secreted from hDPSCs under hypoxic culture compared with those under normoxic culture. In the first screening, the expression levels of miRNAs involved in EVs that were secreted from hDPSCs cultured under hypoxic and normoxic conditions were analyzed using miRNA array. In the second screening, 12 miRNAs were individually involved in EVs, and the growth of human aortic endothelial cells was assayed. In the third screening, miRNA-encapsulated EVs were injected in BALB/c mouse hindlimb ischemia model, followed by angiogenesis evaluation by blood flow analysis. Results showed that miR-765 is an angiogenic miRNA, targeting the 3′ untranslated region of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) and upregulating fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, as an angiogenesis mechanism, miR-765 increased FGF2 expression levels by inhibiting DPP4.

Transcription profiling by array of human dermal fibroblasts to determine passage dependent gene expression

Project description:Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) formed capillary structures when co-cultured with normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs). HUVEC competence and NHDF supportiveness of cord formation were found to be highly cell-passage dependent with the early passage cells forming more angiogenic cord structures. We thus profiled gene expression in NHDFs with different passages to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the in vitro angiogenesis control. Experiment Overall Design: NHDFs cultured to various passages were assayed for their gene expression using the GeneChip technology.

Proteome comparison of a new human cholangiocarcinoma 3D co-culture tumor model to 3D single cultures.

Project description:Cholangiocarcinomas (CCA) are characterized by their desmoplastic and hypervascularized tumor microenvironment (TME) which is mainly composed of tumor cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). CAFs play a pivotal role in tumor progression, angiogenesis, metastasis and the development of therapy resistance. To our knowledge, no continuous human in vivo-like co-culture model is available for research. Therefore, we aimed to establish a new model that mimics the desmoplastic environment typically seen in CCA. Proteomic data comparing the new CCA tumor cell line with our co-culture tumor model (CCTM) indicated a higher correlation of the CCTM with physiological CCA characteristics according to literature. A pro-angiogenic TME that is typically observed in CCA could also be simulated in the CCTM group. Further analysis of secreted proteins revealed CAFs to be the main source for these angiogenic factors. Our CCTM represents a new, reproducible and easy-to-handle 3D CCA model for preclinical studies focusing on CCA-stromal crosstalk, tumor angiogenesis and invasion, the immunosuppressive microenvironment and the involvement of CAFs in the way that drug resistance develops.
