Alternative splicing changes promoted by NOVA2 upregulation in endothelial cells and relevance for gastric cancer

ABSTRACT: Angiogenesis is crucial for cancer progression and anti-angiogenic drugs are in use for its treatment. However, their clinical benefits are unsatisfactory. Thus, a deeper understanding of the mechanisms sustaining cancer vessel growth is crucial to identify better biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets. Alternative Splicing (AS) is an essential modifier of human proteome diversity. Nevertheless, its contribution to tumor vasculature development is poorly known. NOVA2 is an important AS regulator of angiogenesis and vascular development and it is up-regulated in tumor endothelial cells (ECs) of different cancers, thus representing a potential driver of tumor blood vessels aberrancies. Here, we identified novel AS transcripts generated upon NOVA2 upregulation in ECs, suggesting a pervasive role of NOVA2 in vascular biology. In addition, we report that NOVA2 is also upregulated in ECs of gastric cancer (GC), with its expression correlating with poor overall survival of the GC patients. We also found that the AS of the newly identified NOVA2 target RapGEF6 is altered in GC patients and associated with NOVA2 expression, tumor angiogenesis and poor patient outcome. Our findings provide a better understanding of GC biology and suggest that AS might represent a potential source of biomarkers and therapeutics for novel anti-angiogenic GC treatments.

Mitochondrial respiration controls neoangiogenesis during wound healing and tumour growth

Project description:<p>The vasculature represents a highly plastic compartment, capable of switching from a quiescent to an active proliferative state during angiogenesis. Metabolic reprogramming in endothelial cells (ECs) thereby is crucial to cover the increasing cellular energy demand under growth conditions. Here we assess the impact of mitochondrial bioenergetics on neovascularisation, by deleting cox10 gene encoding an assembly factor of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) specifically in mouse ECs, providing a model for vasculature-restricted respiratory deficiency. We show that EC-specific cox10 ablation results in deficient vascular development causing embryonic lethality. In adult mice induction of EC-specific cox10 gene deletion produces no overt phenotype. However, the angiogenic capacity of COX-deficient ECs is severely compromised under energetically demanding conditions, as revealed by significantly delayed wound-healing and impaired tumour growth. We provide genetic evidence for a requirement of mitochondrial respiration in vascular endothelial cells for neoangiogenesis during development, tissue repair and cancer. </p>

Endothelial cell heterogeneity in pathological angiogenesis characterized by metabolic transcriptome diversity

Project description:Endothelial cell (EC) metabolism regulates angiogenesis and is an emerging target for anti-angiogenic therapy in tumor and choroidal neovascularization (CNV). In contrast to tumor ECs (TECs), CNV-ECs cannot be isolated for unbiased metabolic target discovery. Here we used scRNA-sequencing to profile 28,337 choroidal ECs (CECs) from mice to in silico distinguish healthy CECs from CNV-ECs. Trajectory inference suggested that CNV-ECs plastically upregulate genes in central carbon metabolism and collagen biosynthesis during differentiation from quiescent postcapillary venous ECs. CEC-tailored genome scale metabolic modeling predicted essentiality of SQLE and ALDH18A1 for proliferation and collagen production, respectively. Comparative analysis in TECs revealed more outspoken metabolic transcriptome heterogeneity in subtypes and consistent upregulation of SQLE and ALDH18A1 across tumor types. Inhibition of SQLE and ALDH18A1 reduced sprouting angiogenesis in vitro. These findings demonstrate the potential of integrated scRNA-seq analysis to identify angiogenic metabolic targets in disease ECs.

Endothelial cell subtypes co-opt a TGFb/miR-30c-driven fibrinolytic pathway that supports tumor growth

Project description:In tumors, extravascular fibrin forms provisional scaffolds for angiogenesis but is degraded by fibrinolysis and replaced with collagen in a process that resembles wound healing. We report that fibrin-mediated angiogenesis is inhibited and tumor growth is delayed following postnatal deletion of TGFβR2 in the endothelium (TGFβR2iECKO). TGFβR2iECKO endothelial cells (ECs) fail to up-regulate the fibrinolysis inhibitor Serpine1/PAI-1 due, in part, to uncoupled TGFβ-mediated suppression of miR-30c. Bypassing TGFβR signaling with vascular tropic nanoparticles that deliver miR-30c AntagomiRs is sufficient to promote PAI-1-dependent tumor growth and increase fibrin abundance whereas miR-30c Mimics inhibit tumor growth and promote vascular-directed fibrinolysis in vivo. Using single cell RNA sequencing, we also show that subtypes of ECs in tumors show a spectrum of Serpine1 and uPar (urokinase receptor) expression suggesting functional diversity in ECs at the level of individual cells; furthermore, fresh EC isolates from lung and mammary tumor models have differential abilities to degrade fibrin and launch new vessel sprouts which is linked to their inverse expression patterns of miR-30c and Serpine1 (i.e. miR-30chiSerpine1lo ECs are poorly angiogenic and miR-30cloSerpine1hi ECs are highly angiogenic). Thus, EC subtypes co-opt physiological processes such as wound healing by subverting a previously uncharacterized vascular-directed fibrinolytic pathway that supports tumor growth.

RNA-seq analysis to examine the effect of KDM2B knockdown or overexpression on transcriptional responses in ECs during VEGF-signaling

Project description:Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling serves a central role in vascular development as well as maintaining vascular homeostasis. In endothelial cells (ECs), VEGF activates gene expression of angiogenic transcription factors (TFs) followed by downstream induction of angiogenic responsive genes. Recent findings support histone modification dynamics contribute to transcriptional control of genes important for EC functions. Lysine demethylase 2B (KDM2B) demethylates histone H3K4me3 and H3K36me2/3 and also mediates monoubiquitylation of histone H2A119K. KDM2B functions as a transcriptional repressor in somatic cell reprograming and tumor development. However, the role of KDM2B during VEGF-signaling remains to be elucidated. Here, we show in cultured human ECs that knockdown of KDM2B enhances VEGF-induced angiogenesis via increased abilities of migration and proliferation. In contrast, ectopic expression of KDM2B has inhibitory effects on angiogenesis. The function of KDM2B is possibly dependent on its catalytic Jumondi C domain. Genome-wide analysis further reveal that KDM2B selectively controls transcription of VEGF-induced angiogenic TFs where increased H3K4me3/H3K36me3 and decreased of H2A119Kub are associated. These findings suggest an essential role of KDM2B during VEGF-signaling in ECs. Because dysregulation of VEGF signaling in ECs is involved in various diseases including cancer, KDM2B may be a potential therapeutic target in VEGF-mediated vasculopathic diseases.

Actively translating transcriptome (Ribotag) profiling of mouse retinal endothelial cells during postnatal development

Project description:Angiogenesis, a process mediating the expansion of vascular beds in many physiological and pathological settings, requires dynamic changes in endothelial cell (EC) behavior. The molecular mechanisms governing EC activity during different phases of vascular growth, remodeling, maturation, and quiescence remain elusive. Here, we have employed actively translating transcriptome analysis of mouse retinal ECs for the characterization of dynamic gene expression changes during postnatal development and the identification of critical angiogenic factors.

Pericyte sGC signaling dictates tumor vessel formation and tumor microenvironment

Project description:Pericytes and endothelial cells (ECs) are building blocks of blood vessels. While the contributions of ECs to tumor angiogenesis and the tumor microenvironment are well established and multiple drugs that targeting ECs have been developed for clinic use to treat cancers, the underlying mechanisms of pericyte in supporting tumor vessel and in shaping tumor microenvironment remains largely unexplored and no pericyte targeting strategies have been approved yet. This study employs targeted deletion of the NO receptor sGC in pericytes and utilizes single-cell RNA sequencing to elucidate its impact on the tumor microenvironment. The results unveil a disruptive effect on EC-pericyte interactions, subsequently impeding Notch-mediated intercellular crosstalk and prompting extensive transcriptomic reprogramming in both cell types. This vascular alteration further relays to neighboring cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) through paracrine signaling, collectively suppressing tumor growth. Importantly, the inhibition of pericyte sGC has limited influence on quiescent vessels but significantly sensitizes angiogenic vessels to anti-angiogenic treatment. In conclusion, this study underscores the vital role of pericytes in governing tumor vessels and the tumor microenvironment, suggesting that targeting pericyte sGC holds promise for enhancing anti-angiogenic therapy.

Wild type vs. Nova2 KO mouse E14.5 cortex RNA

Project description:To assess the requirement of Nova2 for alternative processing of RNA in the developping brain. Neuronal migration leads to a highly organized laminar structure in the mammalian brain and its mis-regulation causes lissencephaly, behavioral and cognitive defects. Reelin signaling, mediated in part by a key adaptor, disabled-1 (Dab1), plays a critical but incompletely understood role in this process. We found that the neuron-specific RNA binding protein Nova2 regulates neuronal migration in late-generated cortical and Purkinje neurons. An unbiased HITS-CLIP and exon junction array search for Nova-dependent RNAs at E14.5 focused on components of the reelin pathway revealed only one candidate—an alternatively spliced isoform of Dab1 (Dab1.7bc). In utero electroporation demonstrated that Dab1.7bc was sufficient to induce neuronal migration defects in wild-type mice and exacerbate defects when Dab1 levels were reduced, while Dab1 overexpression mitigates defects in Nova2-null mice. Thus Nova2 regulates an RNA switch controlling the ability of Dab1 to mediate neuronal responsiveness to reelin signaling and neuronal migration, suggesting new links between splicing regulation, brain disease and development. Keywords: Comparative analysis RNA from the cortex of 3 wild type and 3 Nova2 KO E14.5 cortex. One array per biological replicate.
