E2F1 mediates SOX17 Deficiency-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension

ABSTRACT: SRY-Box Transcription Factor 17 (SOX17) enhancers variants and mutations are found in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In human PAH pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMVEC), there is a significant downregulation of SOX17 expression. We hypothesized that SOX17 deficiency contributes to the pathogenesis of PAH and found that mice with endothelial specific disruption (ecKO Sox17) developed spontaneous pulmonary hypertension (PH) and exacerbated hypoxia-induced PH. Loss of SOX17 in lung ECs induces cell cycle programming, proliferative and anti-apoptotic phenotypes, a process mediated by the activation of E2F Transcription Factor 1 (E2F1) signaling. Pharmacological inhibition of E2F1 in ecKO Sox17 mice attenuated PH and cell cycle programming. Our study demonstrated that endothelial SOX17 deficiency induces PH and targeting E2F1 signaling represents a promising approach in PAH patients.

E2F1 mediates SOX17 Deficiency-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension [scRNA-seq]

Project description:SRY-Box Transcription Factor 17 (SOX17) enhancers variants and mutations are found in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In human PAH pulmonary endothelial cells, there is a significant downregulation of SOX17 expression. We hypothesized that SOX17 deficiency contributes to the pathogenesis of PAH and found that mice with endothelial specific disruption (ecKO Sox17) developed spontaneous pulmonary hypertension (PH) and exacerbated hypoxia-induced PH. Loss of SOX17 in lung ECs induced endothelial dysfunctions including upregulation of cell cycle programming and paracrine effect, proliferative and anti-apoptotic phenotypes, impaired cellular junction and BMP signaling. E2F Transcription Factor 1 (E2F1) signaling was showed to mediate the SOX17 deficiency-induced EC dysfunction. Pharmacological inhibition of E2F1 in ecKO Sox17 mice attenuated PH and cell cycle programming. Our study demonstrated that endothelial SOX17 deficiency induces PH through E2F1 and targeting E2F1 signaling represents a promising approach in PAH patients.

Transcriptomics and proteomics revealed sex differences in human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells

Project description:There is marked sexual dimorphism displayed in the onset and progression of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Females more commonly develop pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), however, females with PAH and other types of PH have better survival than males. Pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells play a crucial role in the pulmonary vascular remodelling and increased pulmonary vascular resistance of PH. Given this background, we hypothesized that there are sex differences in the pulmonary microvascular endothelium basally and in response to hypoxia that are independent of the sex hormone environment.

Analysis of Differentially Regulated Genes in Lung Microvasculature

Project description:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive fatal disease that is characterized by pathological pulmonary artery remodeling, in which endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction is critically involved. We herein describe a previously unknown role of endothelial angiocrine in pulmonary hypertension. By searching for genes highly expressed in lung microvascular ECs, we identified inhibin--A (INHBA) as an angiocrine factor produced by pulmonary capillaries. We found that excess production of INHBA by ECs impairs the endothelial function in an autocrine manner by functioning as activin A (ActA). Mechanistically, ActA induces bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPRII) internalization and targeting to lysosomes for degradation, resulting in BMPRII signal deficiency in ECs. When endothelial ActA-BMPRII link is overdriven in mice, hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension was exacerbated, whereas conditional knockout of INHBA in ECs prevents the progression of pulmonary hypertension. These data collectively indicate a critical role for the dysregulated endothelial ActA-BMPRII link in the progression of pulmonary hypertension, and thus endothelial INHBA/ActA is an attractive pharmacotherapeutic target for the treatment of PAH.

Expression data of quaternary clones from rat lung CD117+ endothelial cells vs. non-clonal control endothelial cells

Project description:One current concept suggests that unchecked proliferation of clonally selected precursors of endothelial cells contribute to severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (pAH). We hypothesized that clonally selected ECs expressing the progenitor marker CD117 promote severe occlusive pulmonary hypertension (PH). We used microarrays to identify the steady state gene expression profile of quaternary clones derived from CD117+ rat lung ECs vs control ECs derived from rat lung CD117- cells.

Erythroid-Specific Transcriptional Changes in PBMCs from Pulmonary Hypertension Patients

Project description:The hypothesis tested in this study was that chronic exposure of PBMCs to a hypertensive environment in remodeled pulmonary vessels would be reflected by specific transcriptional changes in these cells. The transcript profiles of PBMCs from 30 idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients (IPAH), 19 patients with systemic sclerosis without pulmonary hypertension (SSc), 42 scleroderma-associated PAH patients (SSc-PAH), and 8 patients with SSc complicated by interstitial lung disease and PH (SSC-PH-ILD) were compared to the gene expression profiles of PBMCs from 41 healthy individuals.

Endothelial DNA methalytion signature in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Project description:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe and incurable pulmonary vascular disease. One of the primary origins of PAH is pulmonary endothelial dysfunction leading to vasoconstriction, aberrant angiogenesis and smooth muscle cell proliferation, endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, thrombosis and inflammation. Our objective was to study the epigenetic variations in pulmonary endothelial cells (PEC) through a specific pattern of DNA methylation. DNA was extracted from cultured PEC from patients with idiopathic PAH (n=11), heritable PAH (n=10) and controls (n=18). ). DNA methylation was assessed using the Illumina HumanMethylation450 Assay. After normalization, samples and probes were clustered according to their methylation profile. Differential clusters were functionally analysed using bioinformatics tools.

Pericytes contribute to pulmonary vascular remodeling via HIF2α signaling [lung]

Project description:Vascular remodeling is the process of structural alteration and cell rearrangement of blood vessels in response to injury and is the cause of many of the world's most afflicted cardiovascular conditions, including pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH). Many studies have focused on the effects of vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells(SMCs) during vascular remodeling, but pericytes, an indispensable cell population residing largely in capillaries, are ignored in this maladaptive process. Here we report that hypoxia-inducible factor 2α(HIF2α) expression is increased in human PAH patient lung tissues and HIF2α overexpressed pericytes result in greater contractility and an impaired endothelial-pericyte interaction. Using single-cell RNAseq and hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension(PH) models, we show HIF2α as a major molecular regulator for pericytes’ transformation into SMC-like cells. HIF2α overexpression in pericyte-selective mice exacerbate PH and right ventricular hypertrophy. Temporal cellular lineage tracing shows that HIF2α overexpressing reporter NG2+ cells (pericyte-selective) relocate from capillaries to arterioles and co-express SMA. This novel insight into the potential role of NG2+ pericytes in pulmonary vascular remodeling via HIF2α signaling suggests a potential drug target for PH.
