Kindlin-2/Moesin interaction orchestrates sprouting angiogenesis via modulating endothelial membrane mechanics and VEGF signaling

ABSTRACT: Membrane mechanics play a crucial role in cellular signaling and fate determination, yet their impact on angiogenesis remains poorly understood. Here, we identify Kindlin-2 as a key regulator of sprouting angiogenesis via regulating endothelial membrane tension through its interaction with Moesin, a crucial linker protein between the cell membrane and the actin cortex, a process crucial for sprouting angiogenesis. Mechanistically, Kindlin-2 binds to the N62 residue of Moesin, limiting its overactivation and maintaining proper membrane tension to facilitate VEGFR2 endocytosis and downstream signaling. Using both developmental and pathological models, we demonstrate that the interaction of Kindlin-2 and Moesin is enhanced in high angiogenic conditions, and endothelial Kindlin-2 deletion reduces angiogenesis. Furthermore, mutation of Moesin at N62 phenocopies the effects of Kindlin-2 loss. Together, these findings uncover a previously unrecognized mechanism linking membrane tension regulation to angiogenesis and provide new insights into targeting the Kindlin-2–Moesin axis for therapeutic intervention in neovascular diseases.

Expression data of cDNA from the ACHN control and Kindlin-2-depleting cells

Project description:Kindlin-2, an integrin-interacting FERM-domain-containing protein, has been known to play critical roles for tumor progression. However, the role of Kindlin-2 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progression has not been reported. We aim to investigate the role of Kindlin-2 in the progression of RCC and the underlying mechanisms. To uncover the related pathway in which Kindlin-2 is involved to promote clear cell renal cell carcinoma progression, ACHN control and Kindlin-2-depleting cells were analyzed by Affymetrix GeneChip human Gene 1.0 ST Arrays. ACHN cells were transfected with control short hairpin RNA (shRNA) or Kindlin-2 shRNA. ACHN control and Kindlin-2-depleting cells cDNAs were hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays. Data were analyzed by Expression Console 1.4.1.

Kindlin-2 modulates PTH1R to regulate bone mass and PTH actions in bone

Project description:To investigation the role of PTH and Kindlin-2 in bone development, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing. From Con-veh, Con-PTH, cKO-veh, cKO-PTH, we profiled more than 20k single cells, including multi-potent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), osteoprogenitors, osteoblasts, chondrocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, skeletal muscle cells, pericytes, and schwann cells. We found proportion of part of these cells were significant altered by PTH or Kindlin-2 loss, especially for MSC, osteoblast, chondrocyte, and fibroblast. Transcriptomic analysis revealed gene expression was dramatically regulated by PTH or Kindlin-2 loss.

Identification of the RNA-bound proteome in endothelial cells

Project description:Most new blood vessels emerge through sprouting angiogenesis, an intricate biological process that entails the coordinated migration of groups of endothelial cells branching from parental vessels. Critical guidance cues such as the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor secreted by the surrounding tissues regulate the molecular and cellular responses triggered during angiogenesis. Similarly to other collective cell migration systems, endothelial cells within sprouting vessels are hierarchically organised into leader tip cells and follower stalk cells. Endothelial tip cells are highly polarised, exhibiting a leading edge that extends filopodia-containing protrusions and that interacts with the extracellular matrix, whilst their rear engages in cell-to-cell contacts with stalk cells. Polarisation of cytoplasmic components contributes to dynamic membrane remodelling phenomena that are constrained to the cell-leading front during migration. Amongst other factors, asymmetric distribution of mRNA is a well-established and crucial determinant of cell polarity. The active transport of transcripts is mediated by mRNA-binding proteins (mRBPs). Subcellular distribution of transcript messages results in restricted synthesis of the proteins they encode to particular compartments within the cell. This mode of post-transcriptional control of gene expression contributes to rapid and localised cellular responses to dynamic environmental stimuli with implications in development and disease. Although the involvement of RNA interacting proteins in angiogenesis has been previously reported, whether mRBPs play a role in asymmetric transcript localisation crucial for endothelial cell migration is yet to be fully explored.

Loss of Kindlin-1 drives a more aggressive phenotype in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Kindler syndrome (KS) is a rare genodermatosis resulting from loss-of-function mutations in FERMT1, the gene that encodes Kindlin-1. KS patients have a high propensity to develop aggressive and metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). In this study, we show that loss of Kindlin-1 in a mouse model of cutaneous SCC leads to increased migration, invasion and degradation of collagen. Loss of Kindlin-1 increased tumor growth in vivo and in 3D spheroids, which was associated with the development of a hypoxic tumor environment and increased glycolysis. One of the most highly upregulated genes in Kindlin-1-depleted tumors was Mmp13, and the increased expression of MMP13 was responsible for driving the increased migration and invasion of the Kindlin-1-depleted SCC cells. These results provide evidence that Kindlin-1 loss in SCC can promote migration and invasion through the upregulation of MMP13, and offer novel insights into how Kindlin-1 loss leads to the development of a hypoxic environment that is permissive for tumor growth.

Cx40 Suppresses Sprouting Angiogenesis In Vitro

Project description:Blood vessels are highly organized and form during development through a series of complex processes that include vasculogenesis, sprouting angiogenesis, and vessel remodeling. Several gap junction proteins (termed connexins, Cx) – including Cx40 (GJA5) – are expressed in vascular endothelium early during vessel development and are critical for establishment of a healthy vasculature. However, Cx40’s specific role in regulating vessel growth remains uncertain: while previous studies have shown that developmental and cancer-associated neovascularization is reduced in Cx40-knockout mice, Cx40 knockout in zebrafish embryos enhances intersegmental vessel growth. Thus, in the current study, our aim was to identify Cx40’s specific role in sprouting angiogenesis. First, we used a vessel-on-a-chip microphysiological model to confirm Cx40’s overall necessity for microvessel network development. Next, we used the fibrin gel bead assay – a three-dimensional in vitro model of sprouting angiogenesis – to assess Cx40’s necessity for this process. We found that Cx40 knockdown in endothelial cells drives more aggressive sprouting angiogenesis in association with increased endothelial cell proliferation. By contrast, using Electrical Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS) we observed no effect of Cx40 knockdown on endothelial cell migration. Lastly, we found that Cx37 (GJA4) is reduced in Cx40- deficient endothelial cells, and that targeted silencing of Cx37 alone produces a more aggressive, hyper-sprouting phenotype compared to control or Cx40 knockdown endothelial cells. Taken together, our data argue that Cx40 plays multiple roles during vessel growth, including to specifically limit sprouting angiogenesis, and that this may occur (at least in part) through regulation of endothelial Cx37 levels.

The vascular endothelial thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2 receptor controls its own activation and impairs angiogenesis via an autocrine cyclooxygenase-2-dependent positive feedback loop.

Project description:The thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H2 receptor (TP) plays an eminent role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and its expression has been reported to increase in the dysfunctional endothelium of cardiovascular high-risk patients. Yet it remains enigmatic in which way the vascular endothelial TP affects angiogenesis. Here we show that increased endothelial TP expression, in the absence of exogenous TP agonists, profoundly inhibits, whereas TP knockdown or endothelial-specific knockout enhance the angiogenic capacity of vascular endothelial cells in vitro and in vivo. Global transcriptome, lipidomic, and functional analyses reveal that the TP induces endothelial cyclooxygenase-2 and downregulates prostacyclin synthase to promote TP ligand release, persistent TP activation, suppression of VEGFR2 expression and inhibition of angiogenesis, effects that are reversed by pharmacological TP inhibition or prostacyclin synthase reconstitution. Further mechanistic analyses reveal that endothelial TP increase cell tension, disturb focal adhesion dynamics and inhibit migration, tube formation and angiogenic sprouting via pathways that enhance endothelial actomyosin contractility. In conclusion, our work uncovers an anti-angiogenic feedback loop by which the TP may disturb angiogenesis and vascular endothelial homeostasis in disease states associated with increased TP expression.
