Dose-dependent dual roles of PDGF-BB–PDGFR-β in vascular remodeling and opposing effects of anti-PDGF drug-induced metastasis

ABSTRACT: Anti-PDGF agents are routinely used as a key component in front-line therapy for the treatment of various cancers. However, molecular mechanisms underlying their impact on vascular remodeling in relation to the dose issue remain poorly understood. Here we show that in high PDGF-BB-producing tumors, anti-PDGF drugs significantly inhibited tumor growth and metastasis by preventing pericyte (PC) loss and vascular permeability. Surprisingly, the same anti-PDGF-BB drugs promoted tumor cell dissemination and metastasis in PDGF-BB-low-producing or negative tumors by ablating PCs from tumor vessels. At the molecular level, we show that the PDGFR-β signaling pathway in PCs mediated the opposing effects and persistent exposure of PCs to PDGF-BB led to marked downregulation of PDGFR-β. Inactivation of the PDGFR-β signaling system led to decreased levels of integrin α1β1, resulted in impaired adhesion of PCs to collagen I, IV and laminin, two principal extracellular matrix components in blood vessels for interaction with these integrins. Our data suggest that tumor PDGF-BB levels may serve as an important biomarker for selection of tumor-bearing hosts for beneficial therapy and unsupervised practice of this group of drugs could potentially promote tumor invasion and metastasis.

PDGF-BB modulates hematopoiesis and tumor angiogenesis by inducing erythropoietin production in stromal cells.

Project description:The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling system contributes to tumor angiogenesis and vascular remodeling. Here, we show PDGF-BB markedly induces erythropoietin (EPO) mRNA and protein expression by targeting the PDGFR-beta+ stromal and perivascular compartments. In mouse tumor models, PDGF-BB-induced EPO promotes tumor growth via two mechanisms: 1) paracrine stimulation of tumor angiogenesis by directly inducing endothelial cell proliferation, migration, sprouting and tube formation; and 2) endocrine stimulation of extramedullary hematopoiesis leading to increased oxygen perfusion and protection against tumor-associated anemia. Similarly, delivery of an adenovirus-PDGF-BB to tumor-free mice markedly increases EPO production and hematopoietic parameters. An EPO blockade specifically attenuates PDGF-BB-induced tumor growth, angiogenesis and hematopoiesis. At the molecular level, we show that the PDGF-BB-PDGFR-beta signaling system activates EPO promoter via in part transcriptional regulation of ATF3 by possible association with c-Jun and SP1. These findings uncover a novel mechanism of PDGF-BB-induced tumor growth, angiogenesis and hematopoiesis. Comparison of S17 stromal cells treated with PDGF-BB for 72h to control

Gene expression profiling regulated by PDGF in pBSMCs

Project description:To explore global molecular changes in smooth muscle in response to PDGFR activation, primary human bladder smooth muscle cells were treated with 1 nM PDGF-BB (hereafter PDGF) for 0, 4 or 24 h. Total RNA were prepared, and analyzed using expression profiling, and subjected to bioinformatic and functional interrogation. To identify molecular signatures of bladder smooth muscle peturbed by PDGF, primary human bladder smooth muscle cells were treated with 1 nM PDGF-BB (hereafter PDGF) for 0, 4 or 24 h.

Pericyte-fibroblast transition promotes tumor growth and metastasis

Project description:Vascular pericytes, an important cellular component, in the tumor microenvironment, are often associated with tumor vasculatures and their functions in cancer invasion and metastasis are poorly understood. Here we show that PDGF-BB induces pericyte fibroblast transition (designated as PFT), which significantly contributes to tumor invasion and metastasis. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments demonstrate that the PDGF-BB-PDGFRÎ² signaling promotes PFT in vitro and in in vivo tumors. Genome-wide expression analysis indicates that PDGF-BB-activated pericytes acquire mesenchymal progenitor features. Pharmacological inhibition and genetic deletion of PDGFRÎ² ablate the PDGF-BB-induced PFT. Genetic tracing of pericytes with two independent mouse strains, i.e., TN-AP-CreERT2:R26R-tdTomato and NG2:R26R-tdTomato, shows that PFT cells gains stromal fibroblast and myofibroblast markers in tumors. Importantly, co-implantation of PFT cells with less-invasive tumor cells in mice markedly promotes tumor dissemination and invasion, leading to an increased number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and metastasis. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism of vascular pericytes in PDGF-BB-promoted cancer invasion and metastasis by inducing PFT and thus targeting PFT may offer a new treatment option of cancer metastasis. Pericytes were isolated and treated with PDGF-BB or control for 1 or 5 days

Thymosin 4 protects against aortic aneurysm via endocytic regulation of growth factor signalling

Project description:Vascular stability and tone are maintained by contractile smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, injury-induced growth factors stimulate a contractile-synthetic phenotypic modulation which increases susceptibility to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). As a regulator of embryonic VSMC differentiation, we hypothesised that Thymosin β4 (Tβ4) may function to maintain healthy vasculature throughout postnatal life. This was supported by the identification of an interaction with Low density lipoprotein receptor related protein 1 (LRP1), an endocytic regulator of PDGF-BB signalling and VSMC proliferation. LRP1 variants have been implicated by genome-wide association studies with risk of AAA and other arterial diseases. T4-null mice displayed aortic VSMC and elastin defects, phenocopying LRP1 mutants, and their compromised vascular integrity predisposed to Angiotensin II-induced aneurysm formation. Aneurysmal vessels were characterised by enhanced VSMC phenotypic modulation and augmented platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor (PDGFR)β signalling. In vitro, enhanced sensitivity to PDGF-BB, upon loss of Tβ4, associated with dysregulated endocytosis, with increased recycling and reduced lysosomal targeting of LRP1-PDGFRβ. Accordingly, the exacerbated aneurysmal phenotype in T4-null mice was rescued upon treatment with the PDGFRβ antagonist, Imatinib. Our study identifies Tβ4 as a key regulator of LRP1 for maintaining vascular health and provides insights into the mechanisms of growth factor-controlled VSMC phenotypic modulation underlying aortic disease progression.

Next Generation Sequencing Fascilitates Quantitative Analysis of Differential Gene Expression in Human Pericytes treated with PDGF-BB

Project description:PDGF-BB:PDGFRβ signalling in brain pericytes is critical to the development, maintenance and function of a healthy blood-brain barrier (BBB). Furthermore, BBB impairment and pericyte loss in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is well documented. We used tissue microarrays from control and AD brains to determine if PDGF-BB:PDGFRβ signalling components were altered in AD, and found that there was a reduction in vascular expression of PDGFB. We hypothesised that reduced PDGF-BB:PDGFRβ signalling in pericytes may have an impact on functions related to the BBB. We therefore tested the effects of PDGF-BB on primary human brain pericytes in vitro to define important signalling pathways and outcomes related to BBB function. Pericytes demonstrate a biphasic response to PDGF-BB, predominantly dependent on Akt and ERK. We determined that the actions of PDGF-BB are on-target at PDGFRβ, leading to internalisation and degradation of PDGFRβ. Using pharmacological inhibitors, we dissected distinct aspects of the PDGF-BB response that are controlled by ERK and Akt pathways. PDGF-BB promotes the proliferation of pericytes and protection from toxic stimuli through ERK signalling. In contrast, PDGF-BB:PDGFRβ signalling through Akt and NF-κB augments pericyte-derived inflammatory secretions. It may therefore be possible to supplement PDGF-BB or small molecule agonists to stabilise the cerebrovasculature in AD.

Human fibroblast stimulation with PDGF-BB or b-FGF

Project description:We analyzed gene expression in human fibroblasts stimulated by platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) or basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) for 1h and 24h. The results of two independent experiments were merged. SAM analysis identified 116 relevant probe sets. Hierarchical clustering of these probe sets showed divergent early gene regulation by PDGF and FGF but overlapping late response. We first analyzed genes commonly regulated by PDGF-BB and b-FGF more than 2 fold after 24h of stimulation and we found that these two growth factors repressed FOXO. We then focused on the early gene expression response induced by both growth factors. We performed a fold change analysis and found 114 probe sets regulated by PDGF-BB and 42 probe sets regulated by b-FGF, 37 of which were shared between the two gene lists .
