Prox-1 promotes invasion of kaposiform hemangioendotheliomas

ABSTRACT: Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is the most frequently occurring malignant tumor in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. Recent studies have revealed that infection of vascular endothelial cells with Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpes virus in vitro results in a lymphatic re-programming of these cells, with potent induction of the lymphatic marker genes podoplanin and VEGFR-3 which is mediated by upregulation of the transcription factor Prox1. However, the potential effects of Prox1 expression on the biology of KS and, in particular, on the aggressive and invasive behavior of KS tumors in vivo have remained unknown. We stably expressed Prox1 cDNA in the two mouse hemangioendothelioma cell lines EOMA and Py-4-1, well-established murine models for kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. Surprisingly, we found that expression of Prox1 was sufficient to induce a more aggressive behavior of tumors growing in syngenic mice, leading to enhanced local invasion into the muscular layer and to cellular anaplasia. This enhanced malignant phenotype was associated with upregulation of several genes involved in proteolysis, cytoskeletal reorganisation and migration. Together, these results indicate that Prox1 plays an important, previously unanticipated role in mediating the aggressive behavior of vascular neoplasms such as Kaposi's sarcoma. Keywords: Overexpression of Prox1 in Py-4-1 cell line.

Transcription profiling of mouse mECK36: a cell and animal model of virally induced Kaposis sarcoma

Project description:Transfection of a Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) herpesvirus (KSHV) Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (KSHVBac36) into mouse bone marrow endothelial lineage cells generated a cell (mECK36) that induced KS-like tumors in mice. mECK36 formed KSHV-harboring vascularized spindle-cell sarcomas that were LANA+ and displayed a KSHV and host transcriptomes reminiscent of KS tumors. Experiment Overall Design: There are three biological replicates per sample. Tumors (mKS) were compared the the human KS signature. mECK36 and mEC-V were compared to putative BM lineage cells.

RNA-binding protein RPS27 and gene expression regulation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)

Project description:RPS27, a significantly down-regulated and validated RBP in kaposi's sarcoma (KS), and known to be associated with viral infection. As KS is an endothelial cell cancer, we used HUVECs as the cell model to explore the functions of RPS27. RNA-seq technology was used to investigate the differentially expressed genes in HUVECs. By using small interference RNAs (siRNAs) to silence the expression of RPS27 (siRPS27), we detected significant decrease of RPS27 expression in RNA levels comparing with the negative control (siNC) samples.

The profile of cellular and KSHV microRNAs in AIDS_KS biopsies (and normal skin control biopsies)

Project description:Kaposi sarcoma is the most common cancer in AIDS patients and is typified by red skin lesions. The disease is caused by the KSHV virus (HHV8) and is recognisable by its distinctive red skin lesions. The lesions are KSHV-infected spindle cells, most commonly the lymphatic endothelial and blood vessel endothelial cells (LEC and BEC), plus surrounding stroma. Here we study the microRNA profiles of the KS lesion biopsies in AIDS patients (including both the cellular and KSHV microRNA). There are (n=3) normal skin biopsies from healthy patients and (n=5) AIDS-KS biopsies. Three of the AIDS-KS biopsies were technically replicated and 2 were single hybridisations.

Targeting sphingosine kinase by ABC294640 induces KSHV-infected endothelial cell autophagic death

Project description:KSHV is a principal causative agent of Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS). Despite this knowledge about the close relationship between sphingolipid metablism and solid tumors development, the role of sphingolipid metablism in KSHV-related malignancies remains mostly unclear. We report that targeting sphingosine kinase 2 (SphK2) by a selective inhibitor, ABC294640, significantly induces KSHV+ TIVE-LTC autophagic death. By using microarray analysis, we have identified the global gene profile affected by ABC294640 within KSHV+ TIVE-LTC and several novel “druggable” candidates closely related to cancer cell survival/growth. Finally, we found that targeting TIVE-LTC by ABC294640 effectively suppressed KSHV tumorigenicity by using a KS-like nude mice model.

Lymphatic endothelial cell identity is controlled by a GATA2 bound enhancer [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Transcriptional enhancer elements are responsible for orchestrating the temporal and spatial control over gene expression that is crucial for programming cell identity during development. Here, we describe a novel enhancer element important for regulating Prox1 expression in lymphatic endothelial cells. This evolutionarily conserved enhancer is bound by key lymphatic transcriptional regulators including GATA2, FOXC2, NFATC1 and PROX1. CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing of this enhancer element revealed that deletion of only 5 nucleotides encompassing the GATA2 binding site has a dramatic impact on lymphatic vascular development; mice homozygous for this deletion die soon after birth exhibiting profound lymphatic vascular defects. Lymphatic endothelial cells in enhancer mutant mice exhibit reduced levels of genes characteristic of lymphatic endothelial cell identity and acquire characteristics of hemogenic endothelium, including the capacity to generate hematopoietic cells. These data reveal the first transcriptional enhancer element important for regulating Prox1 expression and lymphatic endothelial cell identity and suggest that Prox1 is important for repressing hemogenic cell identity in the lymphatic endothelium.

CD109 is novel KSHV entry receptor in human endothelial cells and enhances infection during cellular senescence

Project description:The aging process is characterized by cellular functional decline and increased susceptibility to infections. Understanding the association between virus infection and aging is crucial for developing effective strategies against viral infections in older individuals. Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) infection increases the risk of Kaposi's sarcoma, a vascular cancer prevalent among the elderly without HIV infection. However, the relationship between KSHV pathogenesis and cellular senescence remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that KSHV infectivity is significantly increased in senescent human endothelial cells due to enhanced binding of virions to cell surface. Proteomic analysis identified caveolin-1 and CD109 that promote KSHV infection and were significantly upregulated in senescent cells. In particular, CD109 is expressed on cell surface and directly interacts with KSHV virions to enhance KSHV infection. Knockout of CD109 abolished while overexpression of CD109 promote KSHV binding to cell surface, and infectivity. These results identify CD109 as a novel KSHV entry receptor that enhances KSHV infection in senescent cells, which might in part explain the higher sensitivity of elder subjects to KSHV infection and Kaposi's sarcoma.

Genome-wide small RNA sequencing analysis of KSHV long-term-infected endothelial (LTC) and parental uninfected TIVE cells [miRNA-seq]

Project description:Purpose: To characterize genome-wide microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles in the context of Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)-induced oncogenesis using isogenic cell lines for a Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) xenograft model: KSHV-infected human endothelial cells (LTC) that form tumors with properties closely resembling KS lesions in nude mice and uninfected parental (TIVE) cells. Methods: miRNA expression profiles of LTC and TIVE cells were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500. The mappable reads were aligned to the human genome and miRBase using Bowtie. Results: We show, through global cellular miRNA transcriptome analysis, that KSHV infection has a profound impact on the host miRNA expression landscape, up-regulating multiple miRNAs with oncogenic roles while down-regulating many tumor suppressive miRNAs, thereby contributing to KS oncogenesis. In particular, we identify miR-127-3p as one of the most significantly down-regulated miRNAs in LTC and restoring this miRNA inhibits KSHV-induced transformation, proliferation and tumorigenesis. Conclusions: This study provides a detailed analysis of the cellular miRNA transcriptome in LTC and TIVE cells using small RNA sequencing technology. We identify significant dysregulation of cellular miRNAs with important oncogenic or tumor-suppressive functions that may be physiologically relevant to KSHV oncogenesis. Moreover, our results identify a previously unrecognized tumor suppressor function for miR-127-3p in KS, indicating that its restoration offers potential as a therapeutic intervention for KS.
