GPR124 regulates murine CNS angiogenesis and blood-brain barrier formation by an intracellular domain-independent mechanism

ABSTRACT: The GPR124/RECK/WNT7 pathway essentially regulates central nervous system angiogenesis and blood-brain barrier (BBB) function. GPR124, a brain endothelial adhesion 7-pass transmembrane protein, associates with membrane RECK, which binds and stabilizes newly synthesized WNT7 for subsequent transfer to Frizzled (FZD) and canonical b-catenin signaling. GPR124 function remains enigmatic; while its extracellular domain (ECD) is required, the poorly conserved intracellular domain (ICD) appears to be variably required in mammals versus zebrafish, potentially mediated by bridging of the GPR124 and FZD ICDs by intracellular adaptor proteins. GPR124 ICD deletion mutants impair zebrafish angiogenesis, but paradoxically still mediate WNT7 signaling upon mammalian cell transfection. We thus further investigated the GPR124 C-terminal ICD by deletion in mice (Gpr124ΔC). Notably, Gpr124ΔC/ΔC mice could be born and did not recapitulate Gpr124-/- embryonic lethal forebrain hemorrhage. GPR124ΔC protein was inefficiently expressed, resulting in mild, hypomorphic, non-hemorrhagic defects in CNS angiogenesis and BBB function, sparing the cortex and only confined to ganglionic eminences. Impaired surface expression of GPR124ΔC directly correlated with reduced endothelial WNT signaling, arguing against an intrinsic signaling deficiency. Further, GPR124ΔC and recombinant GPR124 ECD both rescued WNT7 signaling following brain endothelial Gpr124 knockdown. Thus, in mice, the GPR124 essential regulation of WNT7-dependent CNS forebrain angiogenesis and BBB function is exerted by ICD-independent functionality, extending the range of signaling mechanisms used by adhesion 7-pass transmembrane receptors.

Gpr124 is essential for blood-brain barrier integrity in central nervous system disease

Project description:Although blood-brain barrier (BBB) compromise is central to the etiology of diverse central nervous system (CNS) disorders, endothelial receptor proteins that control BBB function are poorly defined. The endothelial G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) Gpr124 has been reported to be required for normal forebrain angiogenesis and BBB function in mouse embryos, but the role of this receptor in adults is unknown. Here, conditional Gpr124 knockout (CKO) in the endothelia of adult mice did not affect homeostatic BBB integrity but resulted in BBB disruption and microvascular hemorrhage in mouse models of ischemic stroke and glioblastoma, accompanied by reduced cerebrovascular canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. Constitutive activation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling fully corrected the BBB disruption and hemorrhage defects of Gpr124 cko mice, with rescue of the endothelial tight junction, pericyte coverage and extracellular-matrix deficits. We thus identify Gpr124 as an endothelial GPCR specifically required for endothelial Wnt signaling and BBB integrity under pathological conditions in adult mice. This finding implicates Gpr124 as a potential therapeutic target for human CNS disorders characterized by BBB disruption.

An organ-specific angiogenic control mechanism for endothelial tailoring

Project description:To address the role of endothelial Wnt/β-catenin signaling in CNS angiogenesis, we compared the bulk transcriptomes of WT and Wnt/β-catenin signaling-deficient PHBC endothelial cells, prior to CNS vascular invasion. To this end, we used three approaches to abrogate endothelial Wnt/β-catenin signaling: Morpholino-mediated knock-down of gpr124, reck or wnt7aa. We find that the expression of mmp25b is decreased in PHBC endothelial cells of all Wnt/β-catenin signaling deficient conditions as compared to the WT controls.

mRNA expression in HEK-293 /STF cells

Project description:Canonical Wnt signaling in endothelial cells (ECs) is required for vascularization of the central nervous system (CNS) and for formation and maintenance of barrier properties unique to CNS vasculature. Gpr124 is an orphan member of the adhesion G-protein-coupled receptor family that is expressed in ECs and is essential for CNS angiogenesis and barrier formation via an unknown mechanism. Using canonical Wnt signaling assays in cell culture and genetic loss- and gain-of-function experiments in mice, we show that Gpr124 functions as a co-activator of Wnt7a- and Wnt7b-stimulated canonical Wnt signaling via a Frizzled receptor and Lrp co-receptor, and that Gpr124-stimulated signaling functions in concert with Norrin/Frizzled4 signaling to control CNS vascular development. These experiments identify Gpr124 as a ligand-specific co-activator of canonical Wnt signaling. Total mRNA from HEK-293/STF cells was subjected to RNAseq

RNAseq of tumor endothelial cells isolated from CT2A glioma under control or LGK974 treatment

Project description:The Wnt signaling pathway regulates blood-brain barrier (BBB) formation and function in both development and pathogenesis of diseases, and is essential for CNS angiogenesis and BBB formation in both embryonic and postnatal development. However, how Wnt signaling affects brain tumor endothelial cells is largely unknown. We isolated endothelial cells from tumors in control or LGK974 treated mice, and analyzed the role of Wnt signaling inhibition on tumor endothelial cells.

Death Receptors DR6 and TROY Regulate Brain Vascular Development

Project description:Signaling events that regulate central nervous system (CNS) angiogenesis and blood-brain barrier (BBB) formation are only beginning to be elucidated. By evaluating the gene expression profile of mouse vasculature, we identified DR6/TNFRSF21 and TROY/TNFRSF19 as regulators of CNS-specific angiogenesis in both zebrafish and mice. Furthermore, these two death receptors interact both genetically and physically and are required for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mediated JNK activation and subsequent human brain endothelial sprouting in vitro. Increasing beta-catenin levels in brain endothelium upregulate DR6 and TROY, indicating that these death receptors are downstream target genes of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, which has been shown to be required for BBB development. These findings define a role for death receptors DR6 and TROY in CNS-specific vascular development. 5 replicates of 3 time points for either brain or liver/lung facs sorted vascaulture. One adult liver/lung replicate was not used as it failed QC

Wnt/β-catenin signaling regulates VE-cadherin-mediated anastomosis of brain capillaries by counteracting S1pr1 signaling

Project description:Canonical Wnt signaling is crucial for vascularization of the central nervous system and blood-brain barrier (BBB) formation. BBB formation and modulation are not only important for development, but also relevant for vascular and neurodegenerative diseases. However, beyond the early requirement of Wnt signaling for brain capillary development, there is little understanding of how Wnt signaling further contributes to brain angiogenesis and BBB formation. By combining high resolution in vivo imaging with temporally and spatially controlled manipulation of Wnt signaling, we were able to dissect different requirements for Wnt signaling during brain angiogenesis and BBB formation. In the absence of Wnt signaling, premature Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor (S1pr) signaling leads to a reduction of VE-cadherin and Esama at cell-cell junctions. Wnt signaling most likely suppresses S1pr signaling during angiogenesis to enable the dynamic junction formation during anastomosis, whereas later S1pr signaling regulates BBB maturation and VE-cadherin stabilization. Our data provides a novel link between brain capillary angiogenesis and BBB formation and identifies Wnt signaling as coordinator of the timing and as regulator of anastomosis.

Regulation of brain endothelial cell physiology by the TAM receptor tyrosine kinase Mer

Project description:The receptor tyrosine kinase Mer (gene name Mertk) acts in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) to tighten the blood-brain barrier (BBB) subsequent to viral infection. Correspondingly, we found that Mer regulates the expression and activity of a large cohort of cytoskeletal and BBB proteins, together with endothelial nitric oxide synthase, in brain ECs. We further found that Mer controls the expression of multiple angiogenic genes, and that EC-specific Mertk gene inactivation results in perturbed vascular sprouting and a compromised BBB after induced photothrombotic stroke. Unexpectedly, stroke lesions in the brain were also markedly reduced in the absence of EC Mer, which was linked to reduced plasma expression of fibrinogen, prothrombin, and other effectors of blood coagulation. Together, these results demonstrate that Mer is a central regulator of angiogenesis, BBB integrity, and blood coagulation in the mature vasculature. They may also account for disease severity following infection with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.

CD44+ Lung Cancer Stem Cell-derived Vascular Pericytes Cause Brain Metastases through GPR124-mediated Trans-endothelial Migration [II]

Project description:Brain metastasis of lung cancer causes high mortality, but the exact mechanisms underlying the metastasis remain unclear. Here we report that vascular pericytes derived from CD44+ lung cancer stem cells (CSCs) in lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) potently cause brain metastases through GPR124-mediated trans-endothelial migration (TEM). CD44+ CSCs in the perivascular niche generate the majority of vascular pericytes in lung ADC. CSC-derived pericyte-like cells (Cd-pericytes) exhibit remarkable TEM capacity to effectively intravasate into vessel lumina, survive in the circulation, extravasate into the brain parenchyma, and then de-differentiate into tumorigenic CSCs to form metastases. Moreover, Cd-pericytes uniquely express GPR124, a G-protein-coupled receptor. GPR124 mediates through Wnt7-β-Catenin activation to enhance TEM capacity of Cd-pericytes for intravasation and extravasation, two critical steps during tumor metastasis. Furthermore, selective disruption of Cd-pericytes, GPR124 or Wnt7-β-Catenin signaling markedly reduced brain and liver metastases of lung ADC. Our findings uncover an unappreciated cellular and molecular paradigm driving tumor metastasis.
