Fibroblast mechanoperception instructs pulmonary developmental and pattern specification gene expression programs [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Dysregulation of the cellular mechanisms that coordinate the interpretation and transduction of microenvironmental biophysical signals are a unifying feature of tissue remodeling pathologies such as fibrosis and cancer. While genomic regulation downstream of normal mechanotransduction (i.e. cases where cells sense soft and stiff appropriately) is well studied, significantly less is known about the consequences of abnormal mechanoperception and subsequent misinterpretation of the mechanical environment. Leveraging Thy-1 (a.k.a. CD90) loss as a model of impaired mechanoperception, we employed ATAC- and RNA-sequencing in parallel to characterize the changes in lung fibroblast genomic activity in response to a combination of substrate stiffness and culture time. Notably, we find perturbed mechanoperception elicits a near-complete shutdown of HOXA5, a transcription factor responsible for pattern specification and development in the nascent lung. In vitro investigation of HOXA5 expression reveals a potential mechanism connecting increased αv integrin signaling, cytoskeletal tension, and SRC kinase activity to HOXA5 silencing. These results establish novel links between integrin signaling and the expression dynamics of genes necessary for tissue formation and regeneration in the injured and/or developing lung, particularly HOXA5.

Control of basal-type prostate cancers with a bispecific integrin α5β1/αv antibody

Project description:Integrin α5β1 and αv crosstalk in chemotaxis and clonogenic survival of prostate cancer cells is abrogated by a bispecific α5β1/αv antibody (BsAbα5β1/αv), which uniquely induces internalization and lysosomal degradation of target integrins. We hypothesized that the BsAbα5β1/αv inactivates pathological mechanosignaling pathways that correlate with integrin expression from patient samples. Mechanistic studies indicate that the BsAbα5β1/αv uniquely reverses YAP, beta-catenin and FAK nuclear localization compared to monospecific integrin α5β1 and αv antibody controls in basal-type androgen-receptor negative prostate cancer cells. Dual integrin αv and α5 knockdown alone phenocopied the BsAbα5β1/αv effect. Following BsAbα5β1/αv treatment, ATAC-seq studies indicated the chromatin accessibility to TEAD and AP-1 family members was markedly reduced. In vitro and in vivo RNA-seq indicated down-regulation of Myc/E2F, TGF-beta and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and upregulation of Type I and II interferon transcriptomic pathways. The BsAbα5β1/αv induced CXCL10 and CCL5 cytokine secretion, immune-infiltration of tumors, and natural-killer cell-mediated elimination of the basal-type prostate cancer xenografts in nude mice. αv integrin was highly expressed and principally correlated with the Myc signaling pathway in rapid autopsy tissue microarrays, consistent with correlative data from the SU2C metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and DKFZ early-onset prostate cancer cohorts. These studies connect integrin signaling with the central biology of basal-type and castration-resistant prostate cancer and define a novel therapeutic strategy that controls critical immunosuppressive pathways.

The melanoma cell line MDA-MB-435 adhesome in long-term culture and its comparison to the adhesome upon integrin αV knockdown

Project description:Using mass spectrometry–based proteomics, we analysed the components of integrin adhesion complexes of MDA-MB-435S cells and two MDA-MB-435S-derived integrin αV-specific shRNA-expressing cell clones. Among integrins, we detected αV and β5 integrin subunits in the MDA-MB-435S adhesome, thus showing that in long term culture these cells use preferentially integrin αVβ5 for adhesion. Our data represents the first published adhesome of αVβ5 integrin heterodimer.

An epithelial integrin regulates the amplitude of protective lung interferon responses

Project description:Integrins facilitate intercellular movement and communication. Unlike the promiscuous activities of many integrins, β6 integrin is restricted to epithelia and partners exclusively with integrin αV to modulate acute lung injury (ALI). Given that ALI is a complication of respiratory infection, we used mice lacking β6 integrin (β6 KO) to probe the role of the epithelial layer in controlling the lung microenvironment during infection. We found β6 KO mice were protected from disease caused by influenza and Sendai virus infections. They were also protected from disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae infection alone and after prior influenza virus infection, the co-infection representing an often-lethal condition in humans. Resistance in the absence of epithelial β6 integrin was caused by intrinsic priming of the lung microenvironment by type I interferons through a mechanism involving transforming growth factor-β regulation. Expression of β6 on epithelia suppresses the production of interferons, providing an advantage to the pathogen. Acute inhibition of β6 function may therefore provide a means to improve outcomes in lung microbial infections.

Gene expression profiling of murine innate lymphoid cells

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a recently recognized heterogenous group of immune cells that are critical in orchestrating immunity and inflammation in the intestine, but whether ILCs influence immune responses or tissue homeostasis at other mucosal sites remains poorly characterized. Here we identify a population of lung-resident ILCs in mice and humans that expressed the alloantigen Thy-1 (CD90), interleukin 2 (IL-2) receptor a-chain (CD25), IL-7 receptor a-chain (CD127) and the IL-33 receptor subunit T1-ST2. Notably, mouse ILCs accumulated in the lung after infection with influenza virus, and depletion of ILCs resulted in loss of airway epithelial integrity, diminished lung function and impaired airway remodeling. These defects were restored by administration of the lung ILC product amphiregulin. Collectively, our results demonstrate a critical role for lung ILCs in restoring airway epithelial integrity and tissue homeostasis after infection with influenza virus. As part of this study, we performed gene expression profiling to examine how the transcriptional signatures compared between murine naïve group 2 lung ILC and group 3 splenic LTi cell populations. Group 2 ILCs from the lung (Lin- CD90+ CD25+ T1/ST2+) and Group 3 LTi cells from the spleen (Lin- CD90+ CD25+ CD4+) were sort-purified from naive wildtype C57BL/6 mice using BD FACS Aria. Four biological replicates were collected, each replicate containing 1.5 x 104 to 2 x104 cells sorted to a purity >97% from six pooled lungs (ILCs) or 10 pooled spleens (LTi cells). Cells were sorted directly into TRIzol LS (Invitrogen), then mRNA was isolated, amplified, labeled, and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip (Mouse Gene 1.0 ST).

HOXA5-driven transcriptional program in lung development [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Despite the fundamental role of Hoxa5 in mouse development revealed by the well-characterized phenotypes of Hoxa5 mutant mice, HOXA5-dependent regulatory networks remain ill-defined. We generated a Hoxa5FLAG epitope-tagged mouse line to perform ChIP-seq experiments and uncover genome-wide occupancy of the HOXA5 protein. This was done in the developing lung tissue, in which Hoxa5 plays a predominant role since Hoxa5-/- mouse mutants die at birth from respiratory defects. ChIP-seq allowed us to define an in vivo HOXA5 binding motif and its widespread genome distribution in the embryonic lung. Combined with ATAC-seq assays and epigenetic analyses, HOXA5 targets were identified. They include Hox genes known to show expression changes in lungs from Hoxa5 null mutant embryos. Moreover, several key actors of lung morphogenesis were found to possess HOXA5-binding sites and appeared as potential targets of HOXA5. Impact of the loss of Hoxa5 function on their expression was confirmed by in situ hybridization. These targets include members of the FGF10, SHH, BMP4 and WNT2 signaling pathways. Altogether, these data unveil the crucial role of HOXA5 in the coordinated control of the signaling networks instructing lung development.

Combination scaffolds of salmon fibrin, hyaluronic acid, and laminin for human neural stem cell tissue engineering

Project description:A goal of this project is to evaluate the integrin mRNA expression in human neural stem/progenitor cells (hNSPC) using high-throughput sequencing technologies. We found high levels of mRNA expression for the β1, α7, α3, α6, β5, αV, α5, and α9 integrins. This suggests that hNSPCs may express integrin receptors that can bind fibrinogen and laminin proteins.

HOXA5 inhibits metastasis and associates with prolonged survival in lung cancer

Project description:Homeobox genes comprise a family of regulatory genes that contain a common homeobox domain and act as transcription factors. Changes in the expression of homeobox genes are observed in many cancers, including leukaemia, colon, skin, prostate, breast, and ovarian cancers. Recent studies indicate that homeobox A5 (HOXA5) may serve as a tumour suppressor gene in breast cells. However, the precise role of HOXA5 in lung cancer remains unclear. Using microarrays and an invasion/metastasis lung adenocarcinoma cell line model, we showed that the expression of HOXA5 is negatively correlated with cancer cell invasion ability. The ectopic expression of HOXA5 in highly invasive cancer cells suppressed cell migration, invasion, and filopodia formation in vitro and inhibited metastatic potential in vivo. The knockdown of HOXA5 expression via a HOXA5-specific siRNA was able to promote the invasiveness of lung cancer cells. Furthermore, HOXA5 expression was associated with improved overall survival and disease-free survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients with wild-type EGFR (P = 0.0199 and 0.0345, respectively). Genome-wide transcriptome and pathway analyses indicated that these effects of HOXA5 may be associated with the regulation of cytoskeletal remodelling. In summary, our studies provide new insights into how HOXA5 may contribute to the suppression of metastasis in lung cancer. We used microarrays to profile the global gene expression of HOXA5-overexpressing cells compared with mock control cells and identified the pathways involved in HOXA5-induced biofunctional alterations.
