Project description:Peripheral artery disease is a severe ischemic vascular pathology without effective pharmacological approaches and improving angiogenesis to recover blood perfusion is a promising therapeutic strategy. Endothelial cells (ECs) are the primary cell type contributing to angiogenesis in response to ischemia. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating ischemia-induced angiogenesis remain elusive. We used a discovery-driven approach to identify elevated serine/arginine splicing factor 1 (SRSF1) expression in endothelial cells after ischemia. Proteomic analyses identified endogenous SRSF1 accumulated in ECs of the ischemic muscle and responded to hypoxia. Mice deficient in endothelial SRSF1 exhibited impaired blood flow recovery and impaired new capillary formation following HLI. Importantly, overexpression of SRSF1 enhanced blood flow recovery and angiogenesis after HLI. SRSF1 overexpression facilitated, while SRSF1 knockdown suppressed, the angiogenic function of human ECs. To explore the mechanism the mechanisms contributing to SRSF1-promoted endothelial angiogenesis,we conducted transcriptome RNA-seq searching for downstream molecules and verified it through RNA-pull down and chromatin immunoprecipitation qPCR analysis. Mechanistically, SRSF1 modulated ATF3 alternative splicing, wherein SRSF1 directly bound to ATF3 pre-mRNA and elevated full-length ATF3 transcript at the expense of truncated ATF3Δzip2 transcript, and in turn, ATF3 directly bound to the KLF2 promoter and suppressed KLF2-S1PR1 signaling, through which mediated the SRSF1-promoted endothelial tube formation and angiogenesis. Additionally, alprostadil, the prostaglandin E1 analog, could activate the SRSF1 signaling to improve endothelial angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Our findings identified SRSF1 as a novel regulator of ischemia-induced angiogenesis that enhances endothelial angiogenic functions by regulating the ATF3-KLF2/SIPR1 pathway. These results suggest that modulation of endothelial SRSF1 may represent a promising therapeutic approach for treating ischemic vascular diseases.

Project description:The shear stress-induced transcription factor Krüppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) confers anti-inflammatory properties to endothelial cells through inhibition of activator protein 1, presumably by interfering with MAPK cascades. To gain insight into the regulation of these cascades by KLF2, we used antibody arrays in combination with time-course mRNA micro-array analysis. No gross changes in MAPKs were detected, rather phosphorylation of actin cytoskeleton-associated proteins, including Focal Adhesion Kinase, was markedly repressed by KLF2. Furthermore, we demonstrate that KLF2-mediated inhibition of Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and its downstream targets ATF2/c-Jun is dependent on the cytoskeleton. Specifically, KLF2 directs the formation of typical short basal actin filaments, we term shear fibers, which are distinct from thrombin- or TNF-α-induced stress fibers. KLF2 is shown to be essential for shear stress-induced cell alignment, concomitant shear fiber assembly and inhibition of JNK signaling. These findings link the specific effects of shear-induced KLF2 on endothelial morphology to the suppression of JNK MAPK signaling in vascular homeostasis via novel actin shear fibers.

Project description:Endothelial cell (EC)-enriched protein coding genes, such as endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), define quintessential EC-specific physiologic functions. It is not clear whether long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) also define cardiovascular cell-type specific phenotypes, especially in the vascular endothelium. Here, we report the existence of a set of EC-enriched lncRNAs and define a role for STEEL (spliced transcript – endothelial enriched lncRNA) in angiogenic potential, macrovascular/microvascular identity and shear stress responsiveness. STEEL is expressed from the terminus of the HOXD locus and is transcribed antisense to HOXD transcription factors. STEEL RNA increases the number and integrity of de novo perfused microvessels in an in vivo model and augments angiogenesis in vitro. The STEEL RNA is polyadenylated, nuclear-enriched and has microvascular predominance. Functionally, STEEL regulates a number of genes in diverse endothelial cells. Of interest, STEEL upregulates both eNOS and the transcription factor Kruppel-like factor 2 (KLF2), and is subject to feedback inhibition by both eNOS and shear-augmented KLF2. Mechanistically, STEEL upregulation of eNOS and KLF2 is transcriptionally mediated, in part, via interaction of chromatin-associated STEEL with the poly-ADP ribosylase, PARP1. For instance, STEEL recruits PARP1 to the KLF2 promoter. This work identifies a role for EC-enriched lncRNAs in the phenotypic adaptation of ECs to both body position and hemodynamic forces, and establishes a newer role for lncRNAs in the transcriptional regulation of EC identity.

Project description:KLF2 and KLF4 are important transcriptional factors in endothelial cells, however their roles in statin treatment has not been elucidated. Here we report the comprehensive change of transcripts of statin treated HUVECs transfected with siRNA KLF2 or KLF4. We used repeated microarray analysis of HUVECs treated with pitavastatin for 4hours. Before statin treatment, cells were transfected with siRNA KLF2 or KLF4. HUVECs were used within the first 6 passages. For studies, HUVECs were cultivated in medium EGM2MV containing pitavastatin at a concentration of 1 micromolar.

Project description:As the most common vascular tumor during infancy, infantile hemangioma (IH) is clinically featured by a rapid proliferation phase of disorganized blood vessels and a subsequent spontaneous involution phase. Infantile hemangioma arises from a unique type of multipotent stem cells called hemangioma stem cells (HemSCs), which could differentiate into endothelial cells, pericytes and adipocytes in IH. However, the underlying mechanisms that regulate the cell fate determination of HemSCs are not well elucidated. Here, we identified KLF2 as a candidate transcription factor involved in the control of HemSCs differentiation. KLF2 was expressed in endothelial cells in proliferating IH and its expression diminished in adipocytes in involuting IH. KLF2 regualtes the proliferation, apopotosis and cell cycle progression in HemSCs. Moreover, KLF2 is a critical regulator in HemSCs that control their differentiation direction between endothelial cells and adipocytes. Knockdown of KLF2 inhibited the formation of blood vessels in vivo while accelerated the progress of adipogenesis. RNA-seq analysis suggested an induction of pro-adipogenic transcriptome in HemSCs upon KLF2 knockdown. Our data showed that KLF2 exhibited pleiotropic effects in regulating the biological behaviours of HemSCs, and was involved in the progression and involution of IH via determining the cell fate of HemSCs.

Project description:Maintenance of vascular integrity in the adult animal is needed for survival and critically dependent on the endothelial lining, which controls barrier function, blood fluidity, and flow dynamics. However, nodal regulators that coordinate endothelial identity and function in the adult animal remain poorly characterized. Here we show that endothelial KLF2 and KLF4 control a large segment of the endothelial transcriptome thereby affecting virtually all key endothelial functions. Inducible endothelial-specific deletion of Klf2 and/or Klf4 reveals that a single allele of either gene is sufficient for survival, but absence of both (EC-DKO) results in acute death from myocardial infarction, heart failure, and stroke. EC-DKO animals exhibit profound compromise in vascular integrity and profound dysregulation of the coagulation system. Collectively, these studies establish an absolute requirement for KLF2/4 for maintenance of endothelial and vascular integrity in the adult animal.
