Gene expression profile at single cell levels of post natal day 7 mouse cerebellar subdural meningeal cells

ABSTRACT: The microenvironment exerts a profound control on tumor initiation in many tissues. In brain tumors, this process is under studied, in particular how stromal signals exert effects on cancer signaling in pre-tumor cells. In the cerebellum, canonical Wnt signalling mediated by Norrin/Frizzled4 (Fzd4) activation in endothelial cells in the meninges exerts a potent inhibitory effect on preneoplasia and tumour progression in mouse models of Sonic hedgehog medulloblastoma (Shh-MB). Single cell transcriptome profiling and deep phenotyping of the meninges during the critical period of preneoplasia development revealed that Norrin/Fzd4 signalling maintains the activation of meningeal macrophages (mMΦs), characterized by Lyve1 and CXCL4 expression. mMΦ depletion during this critical period phenocopies the enhanced preneoplasia and tumourigenesis caused by Ndp loss. CXCL4 mediates the anti-tumourigenesis effect of mMΦs, as it antagonizes CXCL12/CXCR4 signaling in granule neuron progenitors, the MB cell of origin, to reduce cell cycle progression and promote migration away from the pre-tumour niche. Taken together, these findings are the first demonstration that mMΦs are key mediators of chemokine-regulated anti-cancer cross talk between the stroma and pre-tumour cells in the control of MB initiation.

Norrin-dependent gene expression in Patched mouse medulloblastoma

Project description:Medulloblastoma (MB), a tumor of the cerebellum, is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. One third of all human MB exhibits a gene expression signature of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling. Hedgehog (Hh) pathway inhibitors have shown efficacy in clinical trials for MB, however, tumors develop resistance to these compounds, highlighting the need to identify additional therapeutic targets for treatment. We have identified a role for Norrin signaling in tumor initiation in the Patched (Ptch) mouse model of MB. Norrin is a secreted factor that functions as an atypical Wnt by binding to the Frizzled4 (Fzd4) receptor on endothelial cells to activate canonical beta-catenin-mediated Wnt signaling pathway. In the cerebellum, activation of Norrin/Fzd4 signaling is required for the establishment and maintenance of the blood brain barrier (BBB). We have identified a role for Norrin signaling in the stroma as a potent tumor inhibitory signal. Inactivation of Norrin in Ptch+/- mice significantly shortens latency and increases MB incidence. This phenotype is associated with an increased frequency of pre-tumor lesions and their conversion to malignancy. In this context, loss of Norrin signalling in endothelial cells is associated with an accelerated transition to a pro-tumor stroma characterized by vascular permeability, inflammation and angiogenic remodelling. Accordingly, loss of Ndp significantly alters the stromal gene expression signature of established Ptch MB.

Therapeutic modulation of the blood-brain barrier and ischemic stroke by a bioengineered FZD4-selective WNT surrogate (bulk)

Project description:Derangements of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) or blood-retinal barrier (BRB) occur in disorders ranging from stroke, cancer, diabetic retinopathy, and Alzheimer's disease. The Norrin/FZD4/TSPAN12 pathway activates WNT/-catenin signaling, which is essential for BBB and BRB function. However, systemic pharmacologic FZD4 stimulation is hindered by obligate palmitoylation and insolubility of native WNTs and suboptimal properties of the FZD4-selective ligand Norrin. Here, we developed L6-F4-2, a non-lipidated, FZD4-specific surrogate with significantly improved sub-picomolar affinity versus native Norrin. In Norrin knockout (NdpKO) mice, L6-F4-2 not only potently reversed neonatal retinal angiogenesis deficits, but also restored BRB and BBB function. In adult C57Bl/6J mice, post-stroke systemic delivery of L6-F4-2 strongly reduced BBB permeability, infarction, and edema, while improving neurologic score and capillary pericyte coverage. Our findings reveal systemic efficacy of a bioengineered FZD4-selective WNT surrogate during ischemic BBB dysfunction, with general applicability to adult CNS disorders characterized by an aberrant blood-brain barrier.

Cell Surface Capture of mouse PSC-derived Cardiac Progenitor Cells

Project description:The identification of cell surface proteins on stem cells or stem cell derivatives is a key strategy for the functional characterization, isolation, and understanding of stem cell population dynamics. Here, using an integrated mass spectrometry and microarray based approach, we analyzed the surface proteome and transcriptome of cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) generated from the stage-specific differentiation of mouse and human pluripotent stem cells. Through bioinformatic analysis, we have identified and characterized FZD4 as a new marker for lateral plate mesoderm. Additionally, we utilized FZD4, in conjunction with FLK1 and PDGFRA, to further purify CPCs and increase cardiomyocyte (CM) enrichment in both mouse and human systems. Moreover, we have shown that NORRIN presented to FZD4 further increases CM output via proliferation through the canonical WNT pathway. Taken together, these findings demonstrate a role for FZD4 in mammalian cardiac development.

transcriptional response to endothelial cell-specific inactivation of Tspan12 in the mature retina

Project description:Blood-retina barrier (BRB) formation and retinal angiogenesis depend on beta-catenin signaling induced by the ligand norrin (NDP), the receptor frizzled4 (FZD4), co-receptor LRP5, and the tetraspanin TSPAN12. Impaired NDP/FZD4 signaling causes familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR), which may lead to blindness. Endothelial-cell specific inactivation of the Tspan12 gene at P28 using a Cdh5-CreERT2 driver shows that TSPAN12 functions in ECs to promote vascular morphogenesis and BRB formation in developing mice, and BRB maintenance in adult mice. 12 month after Tspan12 inactivation and loss of BRB maintenance with massive IgG and albumin extravasation we observe complement activation, cystoid edema, and impaired beta-wave in electroretinograms. RNA-Seq 6 month after Tspan12 inactivation provides a detailed view on the transcriptional response, including activation of antibody effector systems (complement and Fc receptors), inflammation and microglia responses, extracellular matrix organization and remodeling, and other responses.

Tetraspanin TSPAN12 regulates tumor growth and metastasis and inhibits b-catenin degedation

Project description:Ablation of tetraspanin protein TSPAN12 from human MDA-MB-231 cells resulted in a major decrease in primary tumor xenograft growth, accompanied by a significant increase in tumor apoptosis. Furthermore, TSPAN12 removal markedly increased metastasis to mouse lungs, due to enhanced tumor-endothelial interactions. Removal of TSPAN12 from human MDA-MB-231 cells also caused substantial proteosomal degradation of Î²-catenin, a key effecter of canonical Wnt signalling. This may be explained by TSPAN12 ablation leading to diminished association between FZD4 (a key receptor in the canonical Wnt pathway) and its co-receptor LRP5. Consistent with disruption of canonical Wnt signaling, TSPAN12 ablation altered the expression of LRP5, Naked 1 and 2, DVL2, DVL3, Axin 1 and GSKÎ²3 proteins, and also altered expression of several genes regulated by Î²-catenin. In conclusion, these results provide the first evidence for TSPAN12 playing a role in supporting primary tumor growth and suppressing metastasis. TSPAN12 appears to function by stabilizing FZD4-LRP5 association, in support of canonical Wnt-pathway signaling, leading to enhanced Î²-catenin expression and function. 4 samples = 2 Control + 2 TSPAN12KD

Retinoic acid induced expression of Hnf1β and Fzd4 is required for pancreas development in Xenopus laevis

Project description:Retinoic acid (RA) is required for pancreas specification in Xenopus and other vertebrates. However, the gene network that is directly induced by RA-signalling in this context remains to be defined. We identified the transcription factor Hnf1β and the Wnt-receptor Fzd4/Fzd4s as direct RA-target genes through RNA-sequencing of in vitro generated pancreatic explants. Functional analyses of Hnf1β and Fzd4/Fzd4s in programmed pancreatic explants and whole embryos revealed their requirement for pancreatic progenitor formation and differentiation. Hnf1β and Fzd4/Fzd4s thus appear to be involved in pre-patterning events of the embryonic endoderm allowing for pancreas formation.
