Exploring Mechano-metabolomic Pathways in CAR T cells

ABSTRACT: Mechanical force generation at the immunological synapse is a hallmark of CAR T cell cytotoxicity and a key indicator of functional potency, yet the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we performed real-time single-cell analysis to quantify the spatiotemporal dynamics of synaptic force and metabolic activity in CAR T cells upon CD19 antigen engagement. We identified a Piezo1–Ca²⁺–Wnt signaling axis that integrates mechanical sensing with cytoskeletal remodeling and metabolic reprogramming. This mechano-metabolic coupling drives CAR T cell activation and varies across different CAR constructs, patient-derived products, and manufacturing conditions. Notably, functional heterogeneity among CAR T cells correlates with differences in their mechanical force profiles and energetic output. Our findings reveal a reciprocal relationship between mechanotransduction and metabolic switching, providing new insight into CAR T cell biology. This framework may inform the development of screening tools and engineering strategies to enhance CAR T cell mechanical fitness, energetic resilience, and therapeutic efficacy.

Role of Piezo1-mediated mechanotransduction in osteocyte differentiation

Project description:Mechanical force is a fundamental regulator of bone development and homeostasis. Mechanosensitive osteocytes are the most abundant bone cells that form interconnected dendrites to respond to mechanical stimuli and interact with the bone-forming osteoblasts and the bone-remodeling osteoclasts. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying osteocyte maturation and dendrite formation remain unclear. By generating a Piezo1 "knock-out" osteocyte cell line, we identified a key role of Piezo1-mediated mechanotransduction in osteocyte differentiation. QRT-PCR analysis revealed delayed osteocyte differentiation in the Piezo1 KO cells relative to WT cells. By performing bulk RNA sequencing of WT and Piezo1 KO OCY454 cells at early (D1), intermediate (D14), and late (D28) stages of differentiation allowed for the identification of key signaling pathways in driving normal osteocyte dfiferentiation, as well as those regulated by Piezo1 mechanotransduction.

Piezo1 mediated mechanotransduction modulates macrophages proliferation during bone remodeling via PI3K-AKT-Ccnd1 axis

Project description:Macrophages play a pivotal role in mechanical force-induced inflammatory bone remodeling. Yet, how macrophages perceive mechanical stimuli and thereby modulate biological behaviors remain elusive. The orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) model was established to access the role of Piezo1 in modulating macrophage response upon mechanical stimuli. The potential functions and molecule mechanisms of Piezo1 were explored by bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) using mechanical stretch system, western blotting, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry and RNA sequencing. We first found macrophage proliferative phenotype enhanced at the later stage of force application. The biological variation mediated by mechanical force could be suppressed by Piezo1 inhibition. Furthermore, Piezo1 activated PI3K-AKT signaling was closely associated with macrophage proliferation upon mechanical stimuli. Additionally, Ccnd1 was authenticated as a critical downstream factor of PI3K-AKT signaling and conditional ablation of Ccnd1 in macrophages inhibited macrophage proliferation in mechanical force-induced bone remodeling procedure.

Analyze the transcriptional signature of human primary culture of CD133+ CD24+ renal progenitor cells

Project description:Podocytes and podocyte progenitors are interdependent components of the kidney's glomerular structure, with podocytes forming the glomerular filtration barrier and progenitors being key players in podocyte regeneration during pathophysiological processes. Both cell types are subjected to constant mechanical forces, whose alterations can initiate podocytopathy and worsen glomerular injury. Despite this, the specific mechanosensors and mechanotransduction pathways involved in their response to mechanical cues remain only partially explored. The role of Piezo1 silencing is studied in this dataset. In this dataset we analyzed 3 primary cell culture treated with LNA scramble or LNA Piezo1 Gapmer.

Mechanosensation of Cyclical Force by PIEZO1 is Essential for Innate Immunity

Project description:Although cells of the immune system experience force and pressure throughout their lifecycle, almost nothing is known about how these mechanical processes regulate the immune response. Immune cells in highly mechanical organs, such as the lung, are constantly exposed to tonic and dynamically changing mechanical cues. Here using reverse genetics, we show that myeloid cells respond to force and alterations in cyclical hydrostatic pressure (CHP) via the mechanosensory ion channel (MSIC) PIEZO1. Unbiased RNA-sequencing from macrophages subjected to CHP reveals a striking state of proinflammatory reprogramming. We report a novel mechanosensory-immune signaling circuit which PIEZO1 initiates in response to CHP, activating c-JUN, upregulating Endothelin-1 (EDN1), and stabilizing HIF1α to facilitate a prolonged program of proinflammatory mediators. Using mice conditionally deficient of PIEZO1 in myeloid cells, and cellular depletion assays, we show infiltrating monocytes respond to cyclical force to recruit neutrophils and clear pulmonary Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Furthermore, myeloid PIEZO1 also drove lung pathology in a mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis. Our results demonstrate a novel environmental sensory axis that myeloid cells recognize to mount an inflammatory response, and is the first report showing a physiological role for PIEZO1 and mechanosensation in immunity.

Piezo1 integration of vascular architecture with physiological force LC-MSMS

Project description:The mechanisms by which physical forces regulate cells to determine complexities of vascular structure and function are enigmatic. Here we show the role the ion channel subunit Piezo1 (FAM38A). Disruption of mouse Piezo1 gene disturbed vascular development and was embryonic lethal within days of the heart beating to cause blood flow. Importance of Piezo channels as sensors of blood flow was indicated by Piezo1 dependence of shear stress-evoked ionic current and calcium influx in endothelial cells and the ability of exogenous Piezo1 to confer shear stress sensitivity on cells that otherwise lacked. Downstream of this calcium influx was proteoase activity and spatial organization of endothelial cells to the polarity of the applied force. Without Piezo1, normal endothelial cell organization was lacking. The data suggest Piezo1 channels as pivotal integrators of vascular architacture with physiological mechanical force.

Study on the mechanisms of Piezo1-lars2 signal path mediating the mechanical loading on endochondral ossification process of fracture healing

Project description:In China, the incidence of fracture non-unions is relatively high. Impaired endochondral ossification may lead to nonunion due to improper mechanical loading. As a mechanosensitive ion channel protein, Piezo1mediates mechanical transduction and induces calcium inward flow. Our early study showed that the osteogenic and angiogenic capacity of chondrocytes was reduced, if Piezo1 gene was knocked out on chondrocytes. Moreover, the expression of mitochondrion translation related gene LARS2 was signaling increased. Therefore, we hypothesize that the mechanical loading may cause endochondral ossification through the Piezo1- LARS2 signaling pathway. We will use conditioned gene knockout mice and Peizo1 knockdown stable cell line to support the hypothesis. Our goals include investigating the changes of Piezo1 expression during endochondral ossification of femoral fracture healing in mice under mechanical loading; investigating the response of Piezo1 channels on chondrocytes to mechanical stimulation and its role and mechanism in regulating chondrocyte osteogenesis and angiogenesis, maintaining the normal mitochondrial function in vitro; analysing the key molecular and signal network downstream of Piezo1 through the multi-omics techniques; and exploring the response mechanism of Piezo1 under vibrating stimulus. This project aims to study the molecular mechanism of Piezo1-mediated force-biological information transition and its role in endochondral ossification. We hope it provides an effective intervention target for preventing and treating fracture nonunion.

Osr2 functions as a mechanical checkpoint to augment CD8+ T cell exhaustion [Osr2OE_vs_Vector_RNA_CD8]

Project description:The alteration in extracellular matrix (ECM) architecture and stiffness becomes one of the hallmarks of cancer. Whether the mechanical property of ECM contributes to the functionality of CD8+ T cells, a key component of anti-tumor response, remains largely unknown. Here we report that mechanical stress drives T cell exhaustion program via Osr2, a transcription factor that had been poorly investigated in T cells. Osr2 is highly and selectively induced in CD8+ T cells when encountering stiff matrix or mechanical force signaling (MFS). Integrated genetic and multi-omics analyses reveals that Osr2 is enriched in the terminal exhausted tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and its expression is modulated by the combined TCR and MFS mediated by Piezo1/Calcium/CREB axis. Importantly, depletion of Piezo1 or Osr2 alleviates T cell exhaustion, which is associated with enhanced anti-tumor immunity mediated by antigen specific T cells or CAR-T cells in solid tumor models. On the contrary, forced Osr2 expression in CD8+ T cells augment their exhaustion and dampens tumor control. In agreement with these observations, high Osr2 expression is correlated with poor prognosis in multiple human malignancies. Mechanistically, Osr2 recruits HDAC3, which in turn establishes epigenetic reprogramming to suppress cytotoxic genes expression and to promote CD8+T cell exhaustion. Thus, our results unravel a mechanical signaling cascade centered by Osr2 that serves as a key driver for CD8+ T cell exhaustion and suggest that mechanical checkpoints could be promising targets for cancer immunotherapy.
