BMP/Taz-Hippo signaling modulates VEGF-mediated angiogenesis

ABSTRACT: The BMP/TGFβ-Smad, Notch and VEGF signaling guides formation of endothelial tip and stalk cells. However, the crosstalk of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) signaling has remained largely unknown. We demonstrate that BMP family members regulate VEGFR2 and Notch signaling, and act via TAZ-Hippo signaling pathway. BMPs were found to be regulated after VEGF gene transfer in C57/Bl6 mice and in a porcine myocardial ischemia model. BMPs 2/4/6 were identified as endothelium-specific targets of VEGF. BMP2 modulated VEGF-mediated endothelial sprouting via Delta like Canonical Notch Ligand 4 (DLL4). BMP6 modulated VEGF signaling by regulating VEGFR2 expression and acted via Hippo signaling effector TAZ, known to regulate cell survival/proliferation, and to be dysregulated in cancer. In a matrigel plug assay in nude mice BMP6 was further demonstrated to induce angiogenesis. BMP6 is the first member of BMP family found to directly regulate both Hippo signaling and neovessel formation. It may thus serve as a target in pro/anti-angiogenic therapies.

YAP/TAZ as new regulatory hub of VEGF signaling [RNA]

Project description:VEGF is a major driver of blood vessel formation. However, the signal transduction pathways culminating into the biological consequences of VEGF signaling are partially understood. Here we show that the Hippo pathway effectors YAP and TAZ, work as a regulatory hub in mediating VEGF-VEGFR2 signaling during angiogenesis. We demonstrate that YAP/TAZ are essential for vascular development as endothelium specific deletion of YAP/TAZ leads to impaired vascularization and embryonic lethality. Mechanistically, we show that VEGF activates YAP/TAZ via its effects on actin cytoskeleton remodeling, and that activated YAP/TAZ induce a transcriptional program that results in the expression of a set of genes to further control cytoskeleton dynamics, and thus ensure a proper angiogenic response. YAP/TAZ deletion also results in VEGFR2 trafficking defects from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. Together, our study establishes YAP/TAZ as a central regulatory hub that mediates VEGF signaling, and hence, regulates angiogenesis.

FGF-dependent regulation of VEGF signaling via transcriptional control of VEGF receptor 2 expression

Project description:Numerous studies have suggested a link between fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathways; however the nature of this link has not been established. To evaluate this relationship we investigated VEGF signaling in endothelial cells with disrupted FGF signaling in vitro and in vivo. We find that endothelial cells lacking FGF signaling become unresponsive to VEGF due to down regulation of VEGFR2 expression caused by reduced Vegfr2 enhancer activation, which is in turn caused by reduced activation of Ets family transcription factors. In vivo this manifests in the loss of vascular integrity and morphogenesis. Thus, basal FGF stimulation of the endothelium is required for maintenance of VEGFR2 expression and the ability to respond to VEGF stimulation and accounts for the hierarchic control of vascular formation by FGFs and VEGF. Primary mouse lung endothelial cells were transduced with either Adeno-Null (empty) or Adeno- dominant negative FGF receptor 1 and harvested 24 hours after transduction. Total RNA was extracted and subjected to the analysis using SuperArray GEArray Q Series Mouse Angiogenesis Gene Array. Comparisons were made between treatments.

Gene Expression Profile identify a role for cyclooxygenase 2-depedent prostinoid generation in BMP6-induced

Project description:The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family of proteins participates in an underappreciated signaling pathway involved in regulating angiogensis in physiological and pathological conditions. Microarray profiles of BMP-responsive genes in the endothelium performed by our lab suggest important roles for cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox2) as a potential downstream regulator of BMP-induced angiogenesis. Cox2 is upregulated by BMP6 at both mRNA and protein levels. Inhibition of Cox2 blocks BMP6 induced endothelial cell proliferation, migration and tube formation activity. Microvessel outgrowth stimulated by BMP6 also required Cox2 activity. These results strongly support that Cox2 is an important downstream target for BMP6, and that prostaniod synthesis is essential for BMP6 induced endothelial cell activation. This further suggests that our microarray data is a reliable tool to identify unkown BMP6 targets in angiogenesis. Keywords: BMP, angiogenesis, Cox2, MEC

BMP9_BMPR2_PAEC_BOEC

Project description:Human pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAECs) and blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOECs) from healthy subjects were stimulated with BMP9, BMP2 or BMP6. and assessed for changes in gene transcription by microarray. Unlike BMP2 and BMP6, which had negligible impacts on gene expression, BMP9 induced the differential regulation of 1883 genes (adjusted P value < 0.05), including several key components of canonical BMP signaling such as ID1, ID2 and BMPR2.

Quantitative proteomics and RNA-sequencing of mouse liver endothelial cells identify novel regulators of BMP6 by iron

Project description:Iron induces hepcidin by activating bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)6-SMAD signaling. Liver endothelial cells (LECs) produce BMP6, but the molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. To address this, we performed proteomics and RNA-sequencing on LECs from iron-adequate and iron-loaded mice. Gene set enrichment analysis identified transcription factors activated by high iron, including Nrf-2, which was previously reported to contribute to BMP6 regulation, and proto-oncogene c-Jun (encoded by Jun). Jun knockdown blocked Bmp6, but not Nrf-2 pathway, induction by iron in LEC cultures. Moreover, chromatin immunoprecipitation of mouse livers showed iron-dependent c-Jun binding to predicted sites in Bmp6 regulatory regions. Finally, c-Jun inhibitor blunted induction of Bmp6 and hepcidin, but not Nrf-2 activity, in iron-loaded mice. However, Bmp6 expression and iron parameters were unchanged in endothelial Jun knockout mice. Our data suggest that c-Jun participates in iron-mediated BMP6 regulation independent of Nrf-2, though the mechanisms may be redundant and/or multifactorial.

Slit2 modifies VEGF-induced angiogenic responses in rabbit skeletal muscle by inducing capillary sprouting and decreasing vascular permeability via reduced eNOS activity

Project description:Rationale: Slit2 is a possible modulator of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) - induced angiogenesis, but its effects have not been tested in large animal models. Objective: We studied the effect of Slit2 on therapeutic angiogenesis induced by VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) ligands Vammin and VEGF-DΔNΔC in vivo in rabbit skeletal muscles. The Slit2 target genes were also studied by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) in endothelial cells. Methods and Results: Adenoviral intramuscular gene transfers were performed into rabbit hindlimbs. Confocal and multiphoton microscopy were used for blood vessel imaging. Signaling experiments and gene expression analyses were performed to study mechanisms of Slit2 action. Slit2 decreased VEGFR2-mediated vascular permeability. It also reduced VEGFR2-mediated increase in blood perfusion and capillary enlargement, whereas sprouting of the capillaries was increased. Slit2 gene transfer alone did not have any effects on vascular functions or morphology. VEGFR2 activation was not affected by Slit2, but eNOS phosphorylation was diminished. The transcriptome profiling showed Slit2 downregulating angiogenesis-related genes such as nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1) and Stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1) as well as genes related to endothelial cell migration and vascular permeability. Conclusions: Combining Slit2 with VEGFs adjusts VEGFR2-mediated angiogenic effects into a more physiological direction. This possibly allows the use of higher VEGF vector doses to achieve a more widespread vector and VEGF distribution in the target tissues leading to a better therapeutic outcome while reducing excess vascular permeability.

RNA-Seq Provides Insights into VEGF-Induced Signaling in Human Retinal Microvascular Endothelial Cells: Implications in Retinopathy of Prematurity [RNA-seq_2]

Project description:The pathophysiology of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is postulated to first involve delayed intraretinal vascularization, followed by intravitreal neovascularization (IVNV). Although intravitreal agents that reduce the bioactivity of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are used to treat IVNV, concerns exist regarding their effects on intraretinal vascularization. In an experimental ROP model, VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) knockdown in retinal endothelial cells reduced IVNV and promoted intraretinal vascularization, whereas knockdown of a downstream effector, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in retinal endothelial cells only reduced IVNV. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the different pathways involved in VEGF-triggered VEGFR2 signaling and VEGF-triggered STAT3 signaling in retinal endothelial cells would allow us to delineate signaling pathways involved in IVNV from those involved in intraretinal vascularization in ROP. To address our hypothesis, we used RNA-sequencing and pathway enrichment analysis to determine changes in the transcriptome of cultured human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRMECs). Of the enriched pathways, inactivation of oncostatin M signaling was predicted by either KDR or STAT3 knockdown in the presence of VEGF. Activation of kinetochore metaphase signaling was predicted by KDR knockdown, whereas inactivation was predicted by STAT3 knockdown in the presence of VEGF. Inactivation of signaling by the Rho family of GTPases was predicted by KDR knockdown, but activation was predicted by STAT3 knockdown in the presence of VEGF. Taken together, our data identified unique signaling pathway differences between VEGF-triggered VEGFR2 and VEGF-triggered STAT3 in HRMECs that might have implications in ROP.
