Hypoxia differentially affects coronary vessel formation during heart development

ABSTRACT: The coronary vessel system is a dense and diverse network of arteries, veins and capillaries formed by endothelial cells from a variety of sources. While hypoxia is a known stimulus for angiogenic sprouting, the exact mechanisms by which hypoxia - and resultant increased VEGFA - influences vessel growth in the heart are not clearly delineated. We used a genetic mouse model to mimic hypoxia through ectopic stabilisation of myocardial HIFα. This enabled us to study the consequences of hypoxia without vascular depletion. Changes in coronary ECs in these hearts relative to littermate controls were assessed by single cell RNA-sequencing. This identified increased angiogenic gene expression and a shift towards a non-proliferative, migratory tip cell phenotype.

Single cell transcriptomics profiling of vessel co-option

Project description:Vessel co-option is an alternative mode of tumor vascularization, which contributes to resistance to anti-angiogenic therapy (AAT). In contrast to vessel sprouting (angiogenesis), knowledge about the mechanisms underlying vessel co-option is minimal, precluding therapeutic strategies. We therefore single-cell RNA-sequenced 31,964 cells from a murine lung metastasis model with vessel co-option, characterized by resistance to AAT. Unexpectedly, co-opted endothelial cells (ECs) were transcriptomically indistinguishable from healthy ECs and lacked an activation signature, while co-opted pericytes expressed a quiescence signature, in contrast to activated pericytes during angiogenesis. Compared with cancer cells during angiogenesis, co-opting cancer cells were phenotypically more diverse and enriched in invasive subpopulations. Together, these data reveal new insight into vessel co-option, with possible implications for the development of therapeutic targets.

Differential gene expression analysis of 4days post fertilization (dpf) wildtype and flt1ka601zebrafish mutants to identify venous sprouting associated genes

Project description:Formation of organ-specific vasculatures requires cross-talk between developing tissue and specialized endothelial cells. Here we show how developing zebrafish spinal cord neurons coordinate vessel growth through balancing of neuron-derived Vegfaa, with neuronal sFlt1 restricting Vegfaa-Kdrl mediated angiogenesis at the neurovascular interface. Neuron-specific loss of flt1 or increased neuronal vegfaa expression promotes angiogenesis and peri-neural tube vascular network formation. Combining loss of neuronal flt1 with gain of vegfaa promotes sprout invasion into the neural tube. Upon loss of neuronal flt1, ectopic sprouts emanate from veins involving special angiogenic cell behaviors including nuclear positioning and a molecular signature distinct from primary artery or secondary venous sprouting. Manipulation of AV identity or Notch signaling established that ectopic sprouting in flt1 mutants requires venous endothelium. Conceptually our data suggest that spinal cord vascularization proceeds from veins involving two-tiered regulation of neuronal sFlt1 and Vegfaa via a novel sprouting mode.

Hypoxia-activated scleraxis a mediates epicardial progenitor differentiation into a unique cardiac perivascular cell type

Project description:The epicardium is a crucial source of progenitor cells and paracrine signals that support heart development and regeneration. However, the molecular mechanisms that guide epicardial cell fate decisions remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify the transcription factor Scleraxis a (encoded by scxa) as a key regulator of epicardial progenitor differentiation in zebrafish. Through single-cell transcriptomics, genetic lineage tracing, and cardiac injury models, we show that scxa is transiently induced in activated epicardial progenitor cells (aEPCs) during both heart regeneration and developmental coronary angiogenesis. scxa+ epicardial cells primarily give rise to a previously uncharacterized cardiac population of perivascular cells marked by col18a1a, molecularly distinct from classical pericytes and vascular smooth muscle cells. We refer to this population as epicardial-derived perivascular mesenchymal cells (Epi-PMCs). These Epi-PMCs closely associate with coronary vessels and may contribute to vascular stabilization and remodeling, potentially through the anti-angiogenic but vessel-stabilizing activity of endostatin derived from collagen XVIII. Loss of scxa increases coronary vessel density. Mechanistically, we identify hypoxia and Hif1a signaling as upstream regulators of scxa, with systemic hypoxia or Hif factor stabilization robustly inducing scxa expression in the epicardium. Together, these findings uncover a hypoxia-responsive Scxa-Col18a1a axis that drives epicardial differentiation toward a vascular-supportive fate, offering new insight into the regulation of coronary vessel development and the regenerative potential of the epicardium.

Transciptional effects of coronary vessel loss on epicaridal cells in juvenile zebrafish

Project description:During cardiac development, the myocardium expands in response to physiological demands to achieve proper cardiac morphology and functional contractility, while simultaneously integrating with the developing coronary vasculature. However, the mechanisms governing this ordered expansion and the role of coronary vasculature formation in this process remain poorly understood. Here, we found that regional hypoxia drives local tissue thickening, which in turn exacerbates a hypoxic microenvironment. We demonstrate that epicardial hypoxia serves as a central regulatory mechanism, coordinating both coronary angiogenesis and myocardial expansion during juvenile zebrafish heart development. This mechanism activates discrete spatial patterns of epicardial gene expression, including for vegfaa, loxl2a, and col12a1b. Through live and fixed imaging, we find that cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells exhibit coordinated migration patterns through third-party epicardial signals. We further demonstrate that epicardial subpopulations are required for both coronary development and myocardial expansion. Using cxcr4aum20 mutants lacking functional coronary vessels, we show that coronary vessels function as a negative feedback mechanism to epicardial hypoxia, while positively responding to the same hypoxic cues that drive myocardial expansion. Importantly, disruption of this negative feedback on epicardial hypoxia also leads to increased myocardial stiffness through dysregulated extracellular matrix crosslinking. Thus, we provide mechanistic insights into pathological conditions characterized by myocardial stiffness such as cardiomyopathies. These findings establish the role of regional epicardial hypoxia within a fundamental regulatory network that drives appropriate regional tissue growth with integrated vascular supply during cardiac morphogenesis.

Physiological profile of the coronary artery and internal thoracic artery endothelial cells as a basis for the structural and functional congrunce of the arterio-arterial continuum

Project description:Currently, it is well established that human endothelial cells (ECs) are characterised by a significant heterogeneity between distinct blood vessels, e.g., arteries, veins, capillaries, and lymphatic vessels. Further, even ECs belonging to the same lineage but grown under different flow patterns (e.g., laminar and oscillatory or turbulent flow) ostensibly have distinct molecular profiles defining their physiological behaviour. Human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) and human internal thoracic artery endothelial cells (HITAEC) represent two cell lines inhabiting atheroprone and atheroresistant blood vessels (coronary artery and internal thoracic artery, respectively). Resistance of the internal mammary artery to atherosclerosis has been largely attributed to the protective phenotype of HITAEC which reportedly produce higher amounts of vasodilators including nitric oxide (NO) through the respective signaling pathways. However, this hypothesis has not been adequately addressed hitherto as proteomic profiling of HCAEC and HITAEC in a head-to-head comparison setting has not been performed.

HEK NICD AP-MS - Notch signaling is a core patterning module for vascular morphogenesis, which co-determines the sprouting behaviour of endothelial cells (ECs)

Project description:Notch signaling is a core patterning module for vascular morphogenesis, which co-determines the sprouting behaviour of endothelial cells (ECs). Tight quantitative and temporal control of Notch activity is essential for vascular development, yet the details of Notch regulation in ECs are incompletely understood. We found that ubiquitin-specific peptidase 10 (USP10) interacted with the NOTCH1 intracellular domain (NICD1) to slow the ubiquitin-dependent turnover of this short-lived form of the activated NOTCH1 receptor. Accordingly, inactivation of USP10 reduced NICD1 abundance and stability, and diminished Notch-induced target gene expression in ECs. In mice, loss of endothelial Usp10 increased vessel sprouting and partially restored the patterning defects caused by ectopic expression of NICD1. Thus, USP10 functions as an NICD1 deubiquitinase, which fine-tunes endothelial Notch responses during angiogenic sprouting.

Bisphenol S and tetrabromobisphenol S induce the sprouting angiogenesis and ectopic sprouting vessel dysfunction via disturbing endothelial cell-cell adherens junction in zebrafish

Project description:Several environmental pollutants have been reported to exhibit either pro-angiogenic or anti-angiogenic effects, which may contribute to related vascular diseases. However, the specific mechanism by which pollutants induce sprouting angiogenesis is unclear, and there are few studies on the association between the site of hyperangiogenesis and vascular diseases. In this study, zebrafish were exposed to bisphenol S (BPS, 1~100 µg/L) and tetrabromobisphenol S (TBBPS, 0.1 and 10 µg/L) from the embryonic to the larval stage to investigate how pollutants interfere with the function of ectopic sprouting vessels. Results showed that BPS and TBBPS promoted ectopic sprouting angiogenesis in different types of vascular plexus at different developmental time points but inhibited vascular endothelial-cadherin (VE-cadherin) expression. The proteomic analyses on eGFP-positive endothelial cells isolated from Tg(flk1: eGFP) zebrafish indicated that both BPS and TBBPS induced ectopic angiogenesis through inhibiting VE-cadherin-mediated adherens junction and activating the downstream pro-angiogenic signaling. In ectopic sprouting vessels induced by BPS and TBBPS, an increased endothelial permeability resulted in white blood cells recruitment and erythrocyte retention. Human oxidized lipids were also prone to deposit in these ectopic vessels following BPS and TBBPS exposure. This suggests that ectopic angiogenesis is a cause of vascular dysfunction and related diseases.

Transcriptional profiling to compare genes induced by CYTL1 to genes triggered by VEGF-A under normoxic and hypoxic conditions

Project description:CYTL1 is a bona fide pro-angiogenic factor produced by endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs), which mediates high angiogenic sprouting of ECFCs and vessel wall endothelial cells by autocrine and paracrine stimulation, respectively. To evaluate whether the signaling response to CYTL1 mimics the response to VEGF-A or induces unique signaling pathways in endothelial cells, we performed transcriptional profiling to compare the gene repertoire induced by CYTL1 to the repertoire triggered by VEGF-A in HUVEC under standard normoxic conditions or angiogensis stimulating hypoxic conditions.

Hypoxia-induced proteomic remodeling of human mammary cancer associated fibroblast - siRNA NCBP2-AS2

Project description:Intratumoral hypoxia causes the formation of dysfunctional blood vessels which contribute to tumor metastasis. Blood vessels are embedded in the tumor stroma where cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) constitute the most prominent cellular component. We found that hypoxic human mammary CAFs promote blood vessel growth in CAF-endothelial cell co-cultures in vitro. Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of CAF secretome unravels how hypoxic CAFs contribute to blood vessel abnormalities by altering the secretion of a multitude of pro- and anti-angiogenic factors. Hypoxia induces pronounced remodeling of the CAF proteome, including proteins that have not been previously related to this process. Amongst those, the uncharacterized antisense gene protein NCBP2-AS2 is one of the most transcriptionally upregulated proteins in the proteome and secretome of hypoxic CAFs. Silencing of NCBP2-AS2 abrogates the pro-angiogenic function acquired by hypoxic CAFs through decreasing VEGF expression levels to the levels found in normoxic CAFs.

Pro-angiogenic transcriptome of zebrafish endothelial cells

Project description:To identify previously unknown determinants of endothelial cell sprouting, we defined and exploited a pharmacological strategy for the manipulation of angiogenic cell behavior in vivo. Whereas high vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (Vegfr) signaling is known to promote tip cell (TC) specification, activation of the Notch receptor via its ligand Delta-like 4 (Dll4) represses the TC phenotype to promote stalk cell (SC) fate. Conversely, suppression of Notch activity upon antagonistic interaction with its ligand Jagged1 pro- motes TC formation. Hence, specification of TCs involves tight spatiotemporal control of Vegfr/Notch signaling. Consequently, we hypothesized that the pharmacological manipulation of Vegfr/Notch signaling selectively during zebrafish intersegmental vessel (ISV) angiogenesis would enable the precise control of angiogenic EC behavior and sprouting- associated gene expression in vivo. For more information, see Herbert et al., 2012, PMID 22921365.
