Piezo1 Knockdown Activates PI3K/AKT and Enhances SPP1 to Drive M2 Macrophage Polarization and Reduce Cardiac Inflammation

ABSTRACT: We have successfully established a mouse model with myeloid cell-specific knockdown of Piezo1. The intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) resulted in a significant increase in cardiac macrophage infiltration, as well as an increase in the expression of inflammatory factors and the inflammatory response. However, myeloid cell-specific knockdown of Piezo1 impaired this response, leading to an increase in macrophage polarization towards the M2 type and the decreased inflammatory response. As a result, myocardial injury caused by sepsis was attenuated. We have also demonstrated that the PI3K/AKT pathway is significantly activated after Piezo1 knockdown, resulting in reduced myocardial dysfunction.

Targeting Piezo1 Unleashes Innate Immunity Against Cancer and Infectious Disease

Project description:Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive ion channel that has gained recognition for its role in regulating diverse physiological processes. However, the influence of Piezo1 in inflammatory disease, including infection and tumor-immunity, is not well-studied. We postulated that Piezo1 links physical forces to immune regulation in myeloid cells. We discovered signal transduction via Piezo1 in myeloid cells and established this channel as the primary sensor of mechanical stress in these cells. Global inhibition of Piezo1 was protective against both cancer and septic shock and resulted in a diminution in suppressive myeloid cells. Moreover, deletion of Piezo1 in myeloid cells protected against cancer and increased survival in poly-microbial sepsis. Mechanistically, we show that mechanical stimulation promotes Piezo1-dependent myeloid cell expansion by suppressing Rb. We further show Piezo1-mediated silencing of Rb is regulated via upregulation of HDAC2. Collectively, our work uncovers Piezo1 as a targetable immune checkpoint that drives immune-suppressive myelopoiesis in cancer and infectious disease.

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 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.

RNA-seq of wildtype and PIEZO1 knockout mice livers to investigate lipid and glucose regulation by the endothelial force sensor PIEZO1

Project description:PIEZO1 is a mechanically-activated ion channel that contributes to flow sensing in vascular endothelium. Moreover, deletion of endothelial PIEZO1 was recently found to suppress activation of Notch1 target genes in hepatic microvascular endothelium. Here, because of the liver’s dominant role in lipid regulation, we set out to test the novel hypothesis that endothelial PIEZO1 regulates hepatic lipid homeostasis. We performed bulk RNA sequencing on PIEZO1-deleted mice exposed to chow and high fat diets. Our transcriptomics analysis reveal unexpected relevance to lipid and glucose homeostasis.

Activation of Piezo1 induces heterogeneity in LSK cells leading to HSC proliferation and myelopoiesis [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Bone marrow haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are mobilised into blood under various stresses. Although they are exposed to shear stress during circulation, the role of mechanical stimulation in regulating HSCs remains unknown. Piezo1, a mechanosensory ion channel, was implicated in regulation of haematopoietic cells. We analysed the transcriptional heterogeneity of LSK cells from mice treated with the Piezo1 agonist Yoda1 for 2 weeks. Our study demonstrated that activation of Piezo1 promoted HSC proliferation and differentiation toward the myeloid lineage, as evidenced by an increase in HSC numbers and the upregulation of myeloid transcription factors.

PIEZO1 Interactome in HEK cells

Project description:The propeller-shaped blades of the PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 ion channels partition into the plasma membrane and respond to indentation or stretching of the lipid bilayer, thus converting mechanical forces into signals that can be interpreted by cells, in the form of calcium flux and changes in membrane potential. While PIEZO channels participate in diverse physiological processes, from sensing the shear stress of blood flow in the vasculature to detecting a light touch on the surface of the skin, the molecular details that enable these mechanosensors to tune their responses over a vast dynamic range of forces remain largely uncharacterized. To survey the molecular landscape surrounding PIEZO channels at the cell surface, we employed a mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach to capture and identify extracellularly exposed proteins in the vicinity of PIEZO1. This PIEZO1-proximal interactome was enriched in surface proteins localized to cell junctions and signaling hubs within the plasma membrane. Functional screening of these interaction candidates by calcium imaging and electrophysiology in an overexpression system identified the adhesion molecule CADM1/SynCAM that slows the inactivation kinetics of PIEZO1 with little effect on PIEZO2. Conversely, we found that CADM1 knockdown accelerates inactivation of endogenous PIEZO1 in Neuro-2a cells. Systematic deletion of CADM1 domains indicate that the transmembrane region is critical for the observed effects on PIEZO1, suggesting that modulation of inactivation is mediated by interactions in or near the lipid bilayer.

Piezo1 promotes the progression of necrotizing enterocolitis via activating Ca2(+)/CaMKII-dependent pathway

Project description:Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating inflammatory bowel necrosis of very preterm infants with limited therapeutic approaches. Mounting evidence supports the role of Piezo1, a widely distributed mechanosensor on intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), in intestinal inflammation, but its underlying mechanism in the development of NEC has not been explored. Here we demonstrated that Piezo1 protein expression was higher in very preterm infants compared to full-term infants, and positively associated with serum inflammation levels in NEC patients. C57BL/6J mice in which Piezo1 was selectively deleted IECs (villin specific knockout; CKO) and floxed control mice were subjected to induce NEC, and Piezo1 regulated intestinal barrier function, restricted cytokines secretion, and diminished the inflammatory response in NEC mouse models.

Piezo1 deficiency induces transcriptomic changes in HSCs [RNA-seq]

Project description:We found that haematopoietic cell-specific Piezo1 knockout (KO) inhibits HSC proliferation and myeloid differentiation. To identify the underlying mechanism, we analysed the gene expression profiles of long-term haematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSCs) from Piezo1 KO mice and compared them with those from control mice. Our study demonstrated that the tight junction pathway was one of the enriched terms among downregulated genes in Piezo1 KO HSCs, with a decrease in JAM3 expression.

Piezo1 channels restrain ILC2s and regulate the development of airway hyperactivity [piezo1KO]

Project description:Mechanosensitive ion channels sense force and pressure in immune cells to drive the inflammatory response in highly mechanical organs. Here we report that Piezo1 channels repress group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s)-driven type 2 inflammation in the lungs. Piezo1 is induced on lung ILC2s upon activation, as genetic ablation of Piezo1 in ILC2s increases their function and exacerbates the development of airway hyperreactivity (AHR). Conversely, Piezo1 agonist Yoda1 reduces ILC2-driven lung inflammation. Mechanistically, Yoda1 inhibits ILC2 cytokine secretion and proliferation in a KLF2-dependent manner, as we further found that Piezo1 engagement reduces ILC2 oxidative metabolism. Consequently, in vivo Yoda1 treatment notably reduces the development of AHR in experimental models of ILC2-driven allergic asthma. Human circulating ILC2s express and induce Piezo1 upon activation, as Yoda1 treatment of humanized mice reduces human ILC2-driven AHR. Our studies define Piezo1 as a critical regulator of ILC2s and we propose the potential of Piezo1 activation as a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of ILC2-driven allergic asthma.
