Project description:In an attempt to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the multiple roles of L1 in endothelium, we checked whether manipulating its expression affected the transcriptome of lECs. To this purpose, we compared the gene expression profiles of L1-overexpressing and control lECs by Affymetrix, which revealed a remarkable effect of L1 overexpression on lECs transcriptome. Mouse lung-derived EC (lECs), kindly provided by E. Dejana (Milan, Italy), were stably transfected with a pcDNA3.1/Hygro(-) vector containing mouse LICAM full length or with and empty pcDNA3.1/Hygro(-) vector as control. Three independent experimental replicates were performed.

Project description:In contrast to the migration of leukocytes from blood vessels into tissues, and the involvement of adhesion molecules and chemokines in this process, the migration of leukocytes from the tissue into lymphatic vessels is much less well understood. This can, in part be explained by the fact that murine lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) have proven particularly hard to isolate and propagate in culture. Hence, it has been difficult to establish suitable models to study this process in vitro. Combining magnetic bead-based purification and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), we have isolated LECs (immorto-LECs) from the skin of mice which express a temperature-sensitive SV40 large T antigen (H-2Kb-tsA58 mice; ImmortoMice) in all cell types under the control of the MHC-class-I-promotor, H-2Kb. The isolated cells are viable for more than 30 passages when cultured at 33 M-BM-:C, the temperature at which the large T antigen is stably expressed. Furthermore, immorto-LECs tolerate several days of culture at 37 M-BM-:C, but become senescent if continuously cultured at this temperature. All cells stably express endothelial and lymphatic markers like CD31, podoplanin, Prox-1 and VEGFR-3 up to passage 30. When cultured in presence of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), immorto-LECs upregulate adhesion molecules, such as ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin, similarly to what has been reported to occur under inflammatory conditions in vivo. Overall, our findings establish immorto-LECs as a useful and handy tool for the in vitro investigation of immune cell transmigration across lymphatic endothelium. imLEC were cultured at 33 M-BM-:C until they reached approx. 70% confluence. Cells were then transferred to 37 M-BM-:C and cultured for 3 days in order to induce T antigen degradation. RNA was isolated from 3 different cultures of passages 13, 14 and 18

Project description:Objective was to uncover the transcriptional changes occuring in melanoma-associated LECs relative to LECs of naïve skin. To investigate the transcriptional changes in LECs during tumor development, RNA was extracted from LECs sorted from naïve skin and BPC (Tyr::Cre-ER, BRafV600E) murine melanomas and bulk RNA-seq performed. Naïve skin LECs were collected from 3 mice and tumor-associated LECs collected from 4 mice.

Project description:Recent studies have revealed the importance of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as tissue-specific regulators of gene expression. There is ample evidence that distinct types of vasculature undergo tight transcriptional control to preserve their structure, identity, and functions. We determined, for the first time, the global lineage-specific lncRNAome of human dermal blood and lymphatic endothelial cells (BECs and LECs), combining RNA-Seq and CAGE-Seq. A subsequent genome-wide antisense oligonucleotide-knockdown profiling of two BEC- and two LEC-specific lncRNAs identified LETR1 as a critical gatekeeper of the global LEC transcriptome. Deep RNA-DNA and RNA-protein interaction studies, and phenotype rescue analyses revealed that LETR1 is a nuclear trans-acting lncRNA modulating, via key epigenetic factors, the expression of essential target genes governing the growth and migratory ability of LECs. Together, our study provides new evidence supporting the intriguing concept that every cell type expresses precise lncRNA signatures to control lineage-specific regulatory programs.

Project description:Herein, we report viral interferon regulatory factor 3 (vIRF3) as a pro-angiogenic factor together with HDAC5 that coordinates with LEC transcriptome, thus resulting in hyper-sprouting formation and ultimately leading to abnormal lymphangiogenesis. Overexpression of vIRF3 in LECs but not blood endothelial cells (BECs) exhibited a unique KSHV-associated angiogenic effect, evidenced by elongated spindle shape, sprouting, and tube formation. Furthermore, using vIRF3 knockout recombinant KSHV, we confirmed that vIRF3 is a critical factor of KSHV-mediated lymphangiogenesis in primary LECs.

Project description:The study was performed in liver-endothelial cells (LECs) isolated from 6 adult male Wistar rats, undergoing a cirrhosis induction protocol as described previously by our group, and LECs isolated from 6 control Wistar rats, according to the criteria of the Investigation and Ethics Committee of the Hospital Clínic Universitari (Spain).The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in the gene expression pattern between LECs from control and cirrhotic rats. Methods: LECs were isolated from livers by collagenase perfusion, isopycnic centrifugation and incubation of cells with magnetic beads coated with specific antibodies (Ab).Total RNA was extracted from LECs with Trizol reagent (Life Technologies, Rockville, MD) after the cell-isolation step described above. RNA quality and concentration were confirmed using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA). cRNA samples were hybridized to the Rat Expression 230A oligonucleotide microarray (Affymetrix). Microarray samples preparation and processing procedures where performed at the IDIBAPS Genomic Unit (Hospital Clinic Universitari, Barcelona) following the protocol as described in the Affymetrix GeneChip Expression Analysis Manual (Affymetrix, Inc, Santa Clara, CA).

Project description:Tissue lymphatic vessels network plays critical roles in immune surveillance and tissue homeostasis in response to pathogen invasion, but how lymphatic system per se is remolded during infection is less understood. Here, we observed that influenza infection induces a significant increase of lymphatic vessel numbers in the lung, accompanied with extensive proliferation of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs). Single-cell RNA sequencing illustrated the heterogeneity of LECs, identifying a novel PD-L1+ subpopulation that is present during viral infection but not at steady state. Specific deletion of Pd-l1 in LECs elevated the expansion of lymphatic vessel numbers during viral infection. Together these findings elucidate a dramatic expansion of lung lymphatic network in response to viral infection, and reveal a PD-L1+ LEC subpopulation that potentially modulates lymphatic vessel remolding.

Project description:Single cell transcriptome showed TGF-β expression is confined to PD-L1+ endothelium and M2 /lipofibroblast-like cells. Hence, superior effects of BA could be attributed to its ability to trap TGF-β to relevant PD-L1+ compartments. Mice were irradiated (photon) and one group of mice was treated with Bintrafusp. Lungs were subsequently dissociated and processed with the 10x genomics 3 prime v2 kit.
