Project description:In gastric cancer (GC), PIEZO1 was suggested to promote cell migration by interacting with Trefoil factor family 1 (TFF1) and serve as a therapeutic target against invasion and metastasis. In addition, PIEZO1 demonstrates abundant expression in most GC cell lines and primary samples and highly-expressed PIEZO1 is associated with poor disease-specific survival. Thus, we try to explore the PIEZO1 function in GC by knocking down assay.

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.

Project description:Angiopoietin-Tie1 signaling is required for lymphatic vascular integrity and both ANGPT2 and TIE1 genetic variants have been associated with lymphedema in patients1, 2. Concurrent with growth-factor signaling, mechanical forces sensed by lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) are also needed to regulate lymphatics3, 4. How these two pathways might interact in the lymphatic system is unknown. Here, we identified a regulatory network in LECs linking activation of the mechanosensory channel, PIEZO1 to Angiopoietin-Tie signaling and repression of a downstream FOXO1 transcriptional response. RNAseq analysis of dermal LECs from Tie1-deficient embryos showed persistent FOXO1 activity with downregulation of LEC-associated genes including Ccl21a, Foxc2, Gata2 and Gja4, as well as increased expression of the mechanosensory channel, Piezo1. Activation of PIEZO1 in human dermal LECs (HDLECs) by the small molecule agonist, Yoda1, triggered exocytosis of the Tie ligand, Angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2), activation of Tie/AKT/PI3K signaling and export of FOXO1 out of the nucleus. Our data identify a novel molecular pathway linking mechano-transduction to ANGPT2-Tie1 activity and dynamic modulation of FOXO1 activity needed for patterning and function of the lymphatic system

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.

Project description:Abnormal mechanical load is a main risk factor of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), and cellular senescence is a pathological change in IDD. Additionally, extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness promotes human nucleus pulposus cells (hNPCs) senescence. However, the molecular mechanism underlying mechano-induced cellular senescence and IDD progression is not yet fully elucidated. First, we demonstrated that mechano-stress promoted hNPCs senescence via NF-κB signaling. Subsequently, we identified periostin as the main mechano-responsive molecule in hNPCs through unbiased sequencing, which was transcriptionally upregulated by NF-κB p65; moreover, secreted periostin by senescent hNPCs further promoted senescence and upregulated the catabolic process in hNPCs through activating NF-κB, forming a positive loop. Both Postn (encoding periostin) knockdown via siRNA and periostin inactivation via neutralizing antibodies alleviated IDD and NPCs senescence. Furthermore, we found that mechano-stress initiated the positive feedback of NF-κB and periostin via PIEZO1. PIEZO1 activation by Yoda1 induced severe IDD in rat tails without compression, and Postn knockdown alleviated the Yoda1-induced IDD in vivo. Here, we reported for the first time that self-amplifying loop of NF-κB and periostin initiated via PIEZO1 under mechano-stress accelerated NPCs senescence, leading to IDD. Furthermore, periostin neutralizing antibodies, which may serve as potential therapeutic agents for IDD, interrupted this loop.

Project description:Most cancer cells are exposed to extracellular environments, such as extracellular matrix, which commonly becomes stiffer along with transformation. It is conceivable that tumorous extracellular environments would be changing to affect tumor cell behavior. It has been reported that Hippo pathway responds to the extracellular environments and induces the nuclear localization of transcription activator, yes-associated protein (YAP), resulting in stimulating cell proliferation. Its pathway also regulates gene expression, but the precise molecule to meditate cell proliferating effect of Hippo pathway in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is not well understood. Here, we examined the effects of YAP-mediated Hippo pathway in OSCC tumorigenesis. Loss-of-function experiments using siRNA or an inhibitor, and immunohistochemical analyses of tissue specimens obtained from OSCC specimens demonstrated that YAP-mediated Hippo pathway was involved in OSCC cell proliferation. We identified Piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 (PIEZO1), a Ca2+ channel, as a downstream molecule of Hippo pathway and showed that elevated PIEZO1 expression was required for PIEZO1 agonist-dependent Ca2+ entry and cell proliferation in OSCC cells. Furthermore, the experiments using three-dimensional culture and suspension culture revealed that PIEZO1, of which expression was regulated by YAP-mediated Hippo pathway, was involved in OSCC cellular growth. Immunohistochemically, YAP overexpression with nucleus and/or cytoplasm was detected with both PIEZO1 and Ki-67 expression at high frequencies in tumor lesion, but not in non-tumor region, of OSCC specimens. These results suggest that the YAP-mediated Hippo/PIEZO1 axis, which might be activated by the tumorous extracellular environments, promotes OSCC tumor cell growth.

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.
