Chronic inflammatory stimulation of endothelial cells

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the interplay between cellular senescence and inflammation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). We employed RNA sequencing to analyze gene expression changes in HUVECs subjected to replicative- or radiation-stress-induced senescence, and compared these profiles with those of cells under acute or chronic TNFα-mediated inflammation. Our findings reveal that both senescence types exhibit significant upregulation of genes associated with epithelial- (or endothelial) mesenchymal transition (EMT) and inflammatory pathways, indicating a shared molecular response. Notably, chronic inflammation led to a pronounced EMT signature as well, while acute inflammation primarily activated classical inflammatory responses. Experimental validation confirmed reduced proliferation and increased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and IL-8) in senescent and chronically inflamed cells and substantiated the upregulation of EMT marker genes. Additionally, we observed impaired wound healing capacity in senescent and chronically inflamed cells, highlighting the functional consequences of these cellular states. Our study underscores the critical role of inflammation in exacerbating senescence-related changes, contributing to the understanding of age-related cardiovascular pathologies. These insights may inform future therapeutic strategies aimed at mitigating the effects of aging and inflammation on endothelial function and cardiovascular health.

Project description:This research investigates cellular senescence in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), focusing on their implications for cardiovascular diseases. We employed RNA sequencing to analyze gene expression changes in HUVECs subjected to replicative- or stress-induced senescence via ionizing radiation. Our findings reveal that both senescence types exhibit significant upregulation of genes associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and inflammatory pathways, indicating a shared molecular response. Experimental validation confirmed reduced proliferation and increased secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and IL-8) in senescent cells and substantiated the upregulation of EMT marker genes. Additionally, we observed impaired wound healing capacity in senescent cells, highlighting the functional consequences of these cellular state. Our study underscores the critical role of senescence-related changes, contributing to the understanding of age-related cardiovascular pathologies.

RNA-seq of young and senescent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) under normal or high glucose conditions

Project description:Human endothelial cellular models are useful to disentangle the pathophysiological role of dysfunctional endothelium in the development of cardiovascular (CV) disease and organ damage in T2D. Here, we performed a RNAseq of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) undergoing replicative senescence and exposed to high glucose (25 mM) to investigate the combined effects of replicative senescence and high glucose on the transcriptional landscape of these cells. To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms driving the acquisition of a senescent phenotype following exposure to HG, we performed a RNA-seq assay on control (Ctr) and replicative senescent (Sen) HUVECs cultivated in presence/absence of HG culture medium (total number of samples = 12; number of samples in each cell type-medium condition group = 3) using the NovaSeq 6000 Illumina system. Differential expression analysis was performed in R environment (version 4.2.2) using the limma and edgeR Bioconductor R packages.

Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) Modulates Senescent Endothelial Cell-Monocyte Communication in Age-Related Vascular Inflammation

Project description:Aging significantly affects intercellular communication between vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and hematopoietic cells, leading to vascular inflammation and age-associated diseases. This study determined how senescent ECs communicate with monocytes, whether extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from senescent ECs affect monocyte functions, and investigated the potential for epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a flavonoid in green tea, to reverse these effects. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were treated with Etoposide (10 µM, 24h) to induce senescence, followed by EGCG (100 µM, 24h) treatment to evaluate its potential as a senotherapeutic agent. The interaction between ECs and monocytes was analyzed using a co-culture system and direct treatment of monocytes with EC-derived EVs. EGCG reduced senescence-associated phenotypes in ECs, as evidenced by decreased senescence-associated (SA)-β-Gal activity and reversal of Etoposide-induced senescence markers. Monocytes co-cultured with EGCG-treated senescent ECs showed decreased pro-inflammatory responses compared to those co-cultured with untreated senescent ECs. Additionally, senescent ECs produced more EVs than non-senescent ECs. EVs from senescent ECs enhanced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pro-inflammatory activation of monocytes, whereas EVs from EGCG-treated senescent ECs mitigated this activation, maintaining monocyte activation at normal levels. Our findings reveal that EGCG confers anti-senescent effects via modulation of the senescent EC secretome (including EVs) with the capacity to modify monocyte activation. These findings suggest that EGCG could act as a senotherapeutic agent to reduce vascular inflammation related to aging.

UFMylation maintains YAP stability to promote vascular endothelial cell senescence

Project description:Endothelial cell senescence is an accomplice for vascular aging, which leads to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Evidences showed that Hippo- Yes-associated protein (YAP) signaling pathway plays an essential role in aging-associated CVD. However, the exact role of YAP protein in endothelial cell senescence remains not fully clear. Here, we reported that YAP was elevated in senescent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and inhibition of YAP by either specific siRNAs or inhibitor Verteporfin could attenuate HUVECs senescence. In contrast, overexpression of YAP induces cell senescence. Besides, we found that UFMylation activity and YAP were both elevated in senescent cells. Mechanistically, we found that UFMylation, a newly identified ubiquitin-like modification with essential biological functions, maintains the stability of YAP and further found that YAP is a substrate for UFMylation. Importantly, we found that compound 8.5, an inhibitor of E1 of UFMylation, can attenuate cell senescence with reduced YAP protein and alleviate vascular aging and improve cardiac function in aged mice. Therefore, compound 8.5 may be a potential small molecule for delaying vascular aging. Together, our finding provides molecular mechanism by which UFMylation maintains YAP stability and exerts an important role in promoting cell senescence, and identified that a previously unrecognized UFMylation is a potential therapeutic target for anti-aging.

Transcription profiling by array of human young and senescent HUVECs under static and laminar shear stress conditions

Project description:Laminar shear stress due to constant blood flow is known to play a critical role in maintaining vascular health. In contrast, endothelial cell senescence appears to be closely associated with the incidence of vascular disorder. In an attempt to identify functional biomarkers for age-related vascular health/disease, the present study investigated differential gene expression of young and senescent human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) under static and laminar shear stress. We used a cDNA microarray method to compare gene expression profiles of young and senescent HUVECs under static and laminar shear stress conditions. Experiment Overall Design: Senescent cells were prepared by continuous subculture in vitro, and a cone-and-plate device was used to impose laminar shear stress onto cells. Young and senescent cells were exposed to laminar shear stress or maintained under static conditions. Total mRNA was extracted and gene expression profiles were analyzed by cDNA microarray.

Expression profiles of mRNAs and lncRNAs regulated by let-7e in vascular endothelial cells

Project description:Many studies have demonstrated miRNAs as key regulators of inflammatory responses in endothelial cells (Ecs). However, because of the complexity of inflammatory genes and miRNAs, there would be many undiscovered miRNAs involved in inflammatory responses of ECs. Let-7e is an important member of let-7e family and plays key roles in the regulation of inflammation and endothelial cell proliferation. Furthermore, let-7e expression is significantly increased in many cardiovascular diseases including coronary heart disease. Therefore,we speculated that let-7e might play important roles in the regulation of inflammatory responses in endothelial cells by directly or indirectly targeting certain inflammatory genes. In order to reveal the action of let-7e in vascular endothelial cells, the expression profiles of mRNAs and lncRNAs induced by let-7e in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were investigated using microarray technology.

Gene expression changes in cord blood-derived ECFCs in response to in vitro senescence stimuli

Project description:Senescent endothelial cells accumulate in blood vessels during aging and produce the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Age-related cardiovascular disease is promoted by SASP chronic inflammation. SASP establishment has been attributed to DNA damage and cGAS activation through cytoplasmic chromatin fragments. Therefore, DNA sensing has been extensively studied in cellular senescence; RNA sensing, on the other hand, remains unexplored. Here, we uncover a pivotal role for RNA accumulation and sensing in endothelial senescence. Our study suggests that intracellular RNA accumulation is a hallmark of senescent endothelial cells. This is associated with activation of RIG-I RNA sensing, and IRF7-driven IFN innate immune response. Moreover, our results revealed that inhibition of IRF7 or RIG-I were sufficient to extend the lifespan and functionality of endothelial cells. These data link the IFN gene signature with RNA accumulation/sensing in senescent endothelium and suggest IRF7 and RIG-I as potential therapeutic targets to delay vascular aging.
