Microglial Piezo1 senses Aβ fibrils stiffness to restrict Alzheimer’s disease

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with the formation of extracellular amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque, perturbing the mechanical properties of brain tissue. Microglia sense and integrate biochemical and mechanical cues in their local microenvironment, intimately linked with AD progress. However, little is known about how microglial mechanosensing pathways are implicated in AD pathogenesis. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis of the significantly down-regulated genes in Piezo1 conditional knockout microglia revealed a significant functional reduction in synapse organization, cell-substrate adhesion, and cytoskeleton system-based events (morphogenesis, migration, and endocytosis) in 5×FAD mice.

Reevaluation of Piezo1 as a gut RNA sensor

Project description:Piezo1 is a stretch-gated ion channel required for mechanosensation in many organ systems. Recent provocative findings describe a new role for Piezo1 in the gut, suggesting that it is a sensor of microbial single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) rather than mechanical force. If true, this would redefine the scope of Piezo biology. Here, we sought to replicate the central finding that fecal ssRNA is a natural agonist of Piezo1. While we observed that fecal extracts and ssRNA stimulate calcium influx in certain cell lines, this response was independent of Piezo1. Additionally, sterilized dietary extracts devoid of gut biome RNA showed similar cell line-specific stimulatory activity to fecal extracts. Together, our data highlight potential confounds inherent to gut-derived extracts, exclude Piezo1 as a receptor for ssRNA in the gut, and support a dedicated role for Piezo channels in mechanosensing.

Transcriptome analysis of tendon derived from Piezo1 mutant mice

Project description:Tendon tissue growth is promoted by mechanical stimulation, but the mechanism is not well understood. Piezo1, a mechanical stress-responsive channel receptor, is expressed in tendon cells, and the fact that tendon tissue growth was accelerated in Piezo1 gain of function mice suggests that Piezo1 plays an important role in tendon tissue growth. RNA-seq of tendon tissues from these mice showed increased expression of tendon-related genes and decreased expression of muscle-related genes, suggesting that Piezo1 may play a role in maintaining and enhancing the properties of tendon cells.

Mechanical sensing protein PIEZO1 regulates bone homeostasis via osteoblast-osteoclast crosstalk

Project description:Wolff’s law and the Utah Paradigm of skeletal physiology state that bone architecture adapts to mechanical loads. These models predict the existence of a mechanostat that links strain induced by mechanical forces to skeletal remodeling. However, how the mechanostat influences bone remodeling remains elusive. Here, we find that Piezo1 deficiency in osteoblastic cells leads to loss of bone mass and spontaneous fractures with increased bone resorption. Furthermore, Piezo1-deficient mice are resistant to further bone loss and bone resorption induced by hind limb unloading, demonstrating that PIEZO1 can affect osteoblast-osteoclast crosstalk in response to mechanical forces. At the mechanistic level, in response to mechanical loads, PIEZO1 in osteoblastic cells controls the YAP-dependent expression of type II and IX collagens. In turn, these collagen isoforms regulate osteoclast differentiation. Taken together, our data identify PIEZO1 as the major skeletal mechanosensor that tunes bone homeostasis.

Targeting Piezo1 Unleashes Innate Immunity Against Cancer and Infectious Disease

Project description:Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive ion channel that has gained recognition for its role in regulating diverse physiological processes. However, the influence of Piezo1 in inflammatory disease, including infection and tumor-immunity, is not well-studied. We postulated that Piezo1 links physical forces to immune regulation in myeloid cells. We discovered signal transduction via Piezo1 in myeloid cells and established this channel as the primary sensor of mechanical stress in these cells. Global inhibition of Piezo1 was protective against both cancer and septic shock and resulted in a diminution in suppressive myeloid cells. Moreover, deletion of Piezo1 in myeloid cells protected against cancer and increased survival in poly-microbial sepsis. Mechanistically, we show that mechanical stimulation promotes Piezo1-dependent myeloid cell expansion by suppressing Rb. We further show Piezo1-mediated silencing of Rb is regulated via upregulation of HDAC2. Collectively, our work uncovers Piezo1 as a targetable immune checkpoint that drives immune-suppressive myelopoiesis in cancer and infectious disease.

Mechanosensation of Cyclical Force by PIEZO1 is Essential for Innate Immunity

Project description:Although cells of the immune system experience force and pressure throughout their lifecycle, almost nothing is known about how these mechanical processes regulate the immune response. Immune cells in highly mechanical organs, such as the lung, are constantly exposed to tonic and dynamically changing mechanical cues. Here using reverse genetics, we show that myeloid cells respond to force and alterations in cyclical hydrostatic pressure (CHP) via the mechanosensory ion channel (MSIC) PIEZO1. Unbiased RNA-sequencing from macrophages subjected to CHP reveals a striking state of proinflammatory reprogramming. We report a novel mechanosensory-immune signaling circuit which PIEZO1 initiates in response to CHP, activating c-JUN, upregulating Endothelin-1 (EDN1), and stabilizing HIF1α to facilitate a prolonged program of proinflammatory mediators. Using mice conditionally deficient of PIEZO1 in myeloid cells, and cellular depletion assays, we show infiltrating monocytes respond to cyclical force to recruit neutrophils and clear pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Furthermore, myeloid PIEZO1 also drove lung pathology in a mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis. Our results demonstrate a novel environmental sensory axis that myeloid cells recognize to mount an inflammatory response, and is the first report showing a physiological role for PIEZO1 and mechanosensation in immunity.

RNA-seq analysis of Piezo1-deficient muscle satellite cells

Project description:Muscle satellite cells (MuSCs), skeletal muscle-resident stem cells, are crucial for regeneration of myofibers. Mechanical cues are thought to be important for activation and proliferation of muscle satellite cells, but the molecular entity that senses biophysical forces in MuSCs remains to be elucidated. In this study, we identified PIEZO1, a mechanosensitive ion channel that is activated by membrane tension, as a critical determinant for myofiber regeneration. We investigated gene profiles of Piezo1-deficient MuSCs to understand the role of PIEZO1 during myogenesis. Our results suggest that PIEZO1 governs the cytoskeletal reorganization to regulate cellular events in MuSCs (i.e., activation, cell-division, and proliferation) during skeletal muscle regeneration.

Effect of depletion of Piezo1 on gene expression during apoptosis of anulus fibrosus cells induced by mechanical stretch

Project description:To investigate the effect of Piezo1 in the apoptosis of anulus fibrous cells (AFCs) induced by mechanical stretch. We established AFCs in which Piezo1 channel has been knocked down by shRNA. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of AFCs treated withpLVX-shRNA-Puro(Lv-Ctrl group) and AFCs treated with pLVX-shRNA-Puro-Piezo1(Lv-Piezo1 group).

Piezo1 integration of vascular architecture with physiological force LC-MSMS

Project description:The mechanisms by which physical forces regulate cells to determine complexities of vascular structure and function are enigmatic. Here we show the role the ion channel subunit Piezo1 (FAM38A). Disruption of mouse Piezo1 gene disturbed vascular development and was embryonic lethal within days of the heart beating to cause blood flow. Importance of Piezo channels as sensors of blood flow was indicated by Piezo1 dependence of shear stress-evoked ionic current and calcium influx in endothelial cells and the ability of exogenous Piezo1 to confer shear stress sensitivity on cells that otherwise lacked. Downstream of this calcium influx was proteoase activity and spatial organization of endothelial cells to the polarity of the applied force. Without Piezo1, normal endothelial cell organization was lacking. The data suggest Piezo1 channels as pivotal integrators of vascular architacture with physiological mechanical force.

Piezo1 channels restrain ILC2s and regulate the development of airway hyperactivity [piezo1KO]

Project description:Mechanosensitive ion channels sense force and pressure in immune cells to drive the inflammatory response in highly mechanical organs. Here we report that Piezo1 channels repress group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s)-driven type 2 inflammation in the lungs. Piezo1 is induced on lung ILC2s upon activation, as genetic ablation of Piezo1 in ILC2s increases their function and exacerbates the development of airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Conversely, Piezo1 agonist Yoda1 reduces ILC2-driven lung inflammation. Mechanistically, Yoda1 inhibits ILC2 cytokine secretion and proliferation in a KLF2-dependent manner, as we further found that Piezo1 engagement reduces ILC2 oxidative metabolism. Consequently, in vivo Yoda1 treatment notably reduces the development of AHR in experimental models of ILC2-driven allergic asthma. Human circulating ILC2s express and induce Piezo1 upon activation, as Yoda1 treatment of humanized mice reduces human ILC2-driven AHR. Our studies define Piezo1 as a critical regulator of ILC2s and we propose the potential of Piezo1 activation as a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of ILC2-driven allergic asthma.
