Project description:The tumor microenvironment impacts tumor progression and individual cells, including CD4(+) T cells, which have been detected in bladder cancer tissues. The detailed mechanism of how these T cells were recruited to the bladder cancer tumor and their impact on bladder cancer progression, however, remains unclear. Using a human clinical bladder cancer sample survey and in vitro coculture system, we found that bladder cancer has a greater capacity to recruit T cells than surrounding normal bladder tissues. The consequences of higher levels of recruited T cells in bladder cancer included increased bladder cancer metastasis. Mechanism dissection revealed that infiltrating T cells might function through secreting the cytokine IL1, which increases the recruitment of T cells to bladder cancer and enhances the bladder cancer androgen receptor (AR) signaling that results in increased bladder cancer cell invasion via upregulation of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1α)/VEGFa expression. Interruption of the IL1→AR→HIF1α→VEGFa signals with inhibitors of HIF1α or VEGFa partially reversed the enhanced bladder cancer cell invasion. Finally, in vivo mouse models of xenografted bladder cancer T24 cells with CD4(+) T cells confirmed in vitro coculture studies and concluded that infiltrating CD4(+) T cells can promote bladder cancer metastasis via modulation of the IL1→AR→HIF1α→VEGFa signaling. Future clinical trials using small molecules to target this newly identified signaling pathway may facilitate the development of new therapeutic approaches to better suppress bladder cancer metastasis.

Project description:Precise mapping of peripheral inputs onto cortical areas is essential for accurate sensory processing. In the mouse primary somatosensory cortex, mystacial whiskers correspond to large, well-defined barrels, while upper lip whiskers form smaller, less distinct barrels. These differences are traditionally attributed to variations in whisker input type and receptor density, but prenatal activity and transcriptional programs also impact somatosensory map development independently of sensory experience. Here, we demonstrate that prenatal ablation of mystacial whiskers leads to a remapping of cortical territories, enhancing the functional and anatomical definition of upper lip whisker barrels. This reorganization occurs without altering peripheral receptor types. Instead, thalamic neurons that receive upper lip inputs adopt a mystacial-like transcriptional profile. Our findings unveil a regulated prenatal mechanism in the thalamus that ensures sufficient cortical barrel size and spatial resolution for sensory processing, irrespective of peripheral receptor type or density, highlighting a critical developmental process in sensory mapping.

Project description:The functional state of denervated muscle is a critical factor in the ability to restore movement after injury- or disease-related paralysis. Here we used peripheral optogenetic stimulation in the mouse whisker system to investigate the time course of changes in nerve and muscle function following facial nerve transection. While most skeletal muscles atrophy after lower motor neuron denervation, optogenetic muscle stimulation of the paralyzed whisker pad revealed sustained increases in the sensitivity, velocity, and amplitude of whisker movements, and reduced fatigability, starting 48 h after denervation. Transcriptome profiling showed distinct regulation of multiple gene families in denervated whisker pad muscles compared to the atrophy-prone soleus, including prominent changes in ion channels and contractile fibers. Together, our results define the functional and transcriptomic landscape of muscle denervation supersensensitivty, and have implications for restoring movement after neuromuscular injury or disease.

Project description:Microglia tightly interact with brain capillaries and regulate blood brain barrel permeability in pathological conditions. However, it is still unknown whether and how microglia regulate CBF in homeostatic condition. Here we show microglia directly regulate cerebral blood flow (CBF) and neurovascular coupling. Conditional knockout of microglial CD39 resulted in CBF hyper perfusion, reduced ATP induced CBF increase, impaired neurovascular coupling by whisker stimulation and reduced whisker stimulation induced adenosine increase in barrel cortex. Out data suggest that microglia is an important player for CBF regulation.

Project description:Mature cortical sensory areas are specialized to process unique sensory stimuli. Recent evidence shows that in the mouse embryo sensory cortices are prepared to respond to an incoming input from the periphery. However, whether these sensory circuits originate as modality specific modules, or they are segregated over time remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that visual and somatosensory circuits originate as functionally intermingled modules, as whisker-pad stimulations at prenatal life led to a multimodal response activating both primary visual and somatosensory cortices. This multimodal response is switched to unimodal at birth via the superior colliculus, a midbrain structure where both modalities converge. Retinal afferent to the superior colliculus prompts the gating of visual from somatosensory circuits achieving sensory modality specificity at birth. Blocking stage I retinal waves resulted in prolonged convergence of somatosensory and visual circuits at the superior colliculus, which led to long-term consequences in the molecular identity of the superior colliculus and caused defects in eye-specific segregation and retinotopy. Hence, the superior colliculus stands as a key developmental regulator of sensory circuits by channeling modality stimuli to their appropriate sensory pathway.

Project description:Mouse whisker somatosensory cortex (wS1) is a major model system to study the experience-dependent plasticity of cortical neuron physiology, morphology, and sensory coding. However, the role of sensory experience in regulating neuronal cell type development and gene expression in wS1 remains poorly understood. We assembled and annotated a transcriptomic atlas of wS1 during postnatal development comprising 45 molecularly distinct neuronal types that can be grouped into eight subclasses of excitatory neurons and four subclasses of inhibitory neurons. Using this atlas, we examined the influence of whisker experience between postnatal day (P) 12, the onset of active whisking, to P22, on the maturation of molecularly distinct cell types. During this developmental period, when whisker experience was normal, ~250 genes were regulated in a neuronal subclass-specific fashion. At the resolution of neuronal types, we found that only the composition of layer (L) 2/3 glutamatergic neuronal types, but not other neuronal types, changed substantially between P12 and P22. These compositional changes resemble those observed previously in the primary visual cortex (V1), and the temporal gene expression changes were also highly conserved between the two regions. In contrast to V1, however, cell type maturation in wS1 is likely independent of sensory experience, as 10-day full-face whisker deprivation had no influence on the transcriptomic identity and composition of L2/3 neuronal types. A one-day competitive whisker deprivation protocol also did not affect cell type identity but induced moderate changes in plasticity-related gene expression. Thus, developmental maturation of cell types is similar in V1 and wS1, but sensory deprivation has a minimal effect on cell type development in wS1.

Project description:Tumor development is accompanied by high hypoxia and a dense network of immature vessels. The hypoxia-inducible factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (HIF/VEGF) signaling pathway is activated in various solid tumors. It is thought that HIF/VEGF signaling activation results from intratumoral hypoxia partly. Multiple studies have reported that VEGF is a common target gene for both transcription factors STAT3 and HIF1. KDM4C has also been reported to function as a co-activation factor for HIF-1β/VEGF signaling activation. In this manuscript. Our results demonstrate that KDM4C promotes NSCLC tumor angiogenesis by transcriptionally activating HIF1α/VEGFA signaling pathway. We also find that STAT3 functions as a costimulatory factor in this process. This pathway opens a potential therapeutic window for the treatment of NSCLC.

Project description:Signal-responsive gene expression is essential for vascular development, yet the mechanisms integrating signaling inputs with transcriptional activities are largely unknown. Here we show that RNF20, the primary E3 ubiquitin ligase for histone H2B, plays a multifaceted role in sprouting angiogenesis. RNF20 mediates RNA polymerase (Pol II) promoter-proximal pausing at genes highly paused in endothelial cells, involved in VEGFA signaling, stress response, cell cycle control and mRNA splicing. It also orchestrates large-scale mRNA processing events that alter the bioavailability and function of critical pro-angiogenic factors, such as VEGFA. Mechanistically, RNF20 restricts ERG-dependent Pol II pause release at highly paused genes while binding to Notch1 to promote H2B monoubiquitination at Notch target genes and Notch-dependent gene expression. This balance is crucial, as loss of Rnf20 leads to uncontrolled tip cell specification. Our findings highlight the pivotal role of RNF20 in regulating VEGF-Notch signaling circuits during vessel growth, underscoring its potential for therapeutic modulation of angiogenesis.
