Hypertension reduces soluble guanylyl cyclase expression in the mouse aorta via the Notch signaling pathway

ABSTRACT: Hypertension is a dominating risk factor for cardiovascular disease. To characterize the genomic response to hypertension, we administered vehicle or angiotensin II to mice and performed gene expression analyses. AngII treatment resulted in a robust increase in blood pressure and altered expression of 235 genes in the aorta, including Gucy1a3 and Gucy1b3 which encode subunits of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC). Western blotting and immunohistochemistry confirmed repression of sGC associated with curtailed relaxation via sGC activation. Analysis of transcription factor binding motifs in promoters of differentially expressed genes identified enrichment of motifs for RBPJ, a component of the Notch signaling pathway, and the Notch coactivators FRYL and MAML2 were reduced. Gain and loss of function experiments demonstrated that JAG/NOTCH signaling controls sGC expression together with MAML2 and FRYL. Reduced expression of sGC, correlating with differential expression of MAML2 in stroke prone and spontaneously hypertensive rats was also seen and RNA-Seq data demonstrated correlations between JAG1, NOTCH3, MAML2 and FRYL and the sGC subunits GUCY1A3 and GUCY1B3 in human coronary artery. Notch signaling thus provides a constitutive drive on expression of the major nitric oxide receptor (GUCY1A3/GUCY1B3) in arteries from mice, rats, and humans, and this control mechanism is disturbed in hypertension.

Genes regulated by soluble guanylyl cyclase in VCaP prostate cancer cells

Project description:The aberrant activation of the ERG oncogenic pathway due to TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusions is the major driver of prostate cancer initiation and progression. We identified the alpha1 and beta1 subunits of soluble guanylyl cyclase (GUCY1A1, GUCY1B1) as major ERG-regulated genes in prostate cancer cells. Soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) is the major mediator of nitric oxide signaling in cells that, upon nitric oxide binding, catalyzes the synthesis of cGMP and subsequently activates PKG. We showed in ERG-positive PCa cells (VCaP) that cGMP synthesis was significantly elevated by ERG, leading to increased PKG activity and cell proliferation. To further understand the functions of sGC-cGMP pathway in prostate cancer cells, we performed RNA-seq analyses in VCaP cells to identify genes that are regulated by sGC.

Effect of Soluble Guanylyl Cyclase Stimulator Compound 1 on Renal function in ZSF-1 model of diabetic nephropathy

Project description:Diabetic nephropathy is associated with endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress, in which nitric oxide-soluble guanylate cyclase-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO-sGC-cGMP) signaling pathway is impaired. We hypothesize that sGC stimulator, Compound 1, can enhance NO signaling, reduce proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy pre-clinical model with diminished NO-bioavailability and increased oxidized sGC. We therefore, evaluated the effect of sGC stimulator Compound 1 on renal effect in obese ZSF1 rats. Materials and Methods: The sGC stimulator Compound 1, the standard of care agent enalapril, and combination of Compound 1 with enalapril was administered chronically to ZSF1 rats for 6 months. Mean arterial pressure, heart rate, creatinine clearance for estimate glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary protein excretion to creatinine ratio (UPCR), and urinary albumin excretion ratio (UACR) were determined during the study. Histopathology of glomerular and interstitial lesions were assessed at the completion of the study. Results: While both Compound 1 and Enalapril significantly reduced blood pressure the combination of Compound 1 and enalapril normalized blood pressure level. Compound 1 improved eGFR and reduced UPCR and UACR. Combination of enalapril and Compound 1 resulted in marked reduction in UPCR and UACR and improved GFR. Conclusion: The sGC stimulator Compound 1 as a monotherapy slowed renal disease progression and the combination of sGC stimulator with enalapril provided a greater renal protection in a rodent model of diabetic nephropathy.

YAP Inhibition in HCC cells (Hep3B)

Project description:siRNA-mediated inhibition compared to untreated cells and cells transfected with nonsense siRNA. Loss of contact inhibition and anchorage-independent growth are hallmarks of cancer cells. In this context, frequent inactivation of the Hippo pathway and subsequent nuclear enrichment of the transcriptional coactivator yes-associated protein (YAP) uncouple cell proliferation and anti-apoptosis from contact inhibition, associated with uncontrolled tumor growth and tumor cell dissemination. However, general molecular mechanisms of tumor-supporting YAP activity remain unclear. In this study, we show that overexpression and nuclear accumulation of YAP in hepatocytes and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells leads to an induction of the Notch pathways through transcriptional activation of the Notch ligand jagged-1 (Jag-1). This induction of Jag-1 strictly depends on binding of YAP to TEAD4 and does not rely on WNT/β-catenin pathway activity. Co-activation of YAP, TEAD4, Jag-1, and the Notch target gene Hes-1 was significantly higher in HCC from patients with poor prognosis. High-level expression and nuclear accumulation of YAP correlates with Jag-1/Notch activation not only in human HCC tissues, but also in colon and pancreatic cancer tissues. Thus, our data demonstrate that YAP-driven co-activation of the Jag-1/Notch pathway in part facilitates oncogenic properties of the oncogene YAP not only in HCC but also in different gastrointestinal malignancies.

Identification of MAML2 regulated transcriptional program in HSY cells

Project description:Mucoepidermoid carcinomas (MEC) is the most common salivary gland malignancy. To date, advanced and nonresectable MEC have poor prognosis and no effective treatment. The CRTC1-MAML2 fusion oncogene, which is associated with more than 50% of MEC, consists of the N-terminal CREB-binding domain of the CREB transcriptional co-activator CRTC1 and the C-terminal transcriptional activation domain of the Notch transcriptional co-activator MAML2. CRTC1-MAML2 fusion was found to interact with CREB and constitutively activate their transcriptional targets. To investigate the genes and pathways regulated by CRTC1-MAML2 fusion oncogene, gene expression profiling analysis were performed in human fusion-positive MEC cells before and after knockdown of both CRTC1-MAML2 and MAML2 as well as in human fusion-negative salivary gland cancer cells before and after MAML2 knockdown only. This study revealed specific transcriptional program induced by the CRTC1-MAML2 fusion oncogene, which potentially mediates CRC1-MAML2 functions in MEC initiation and maintenance. The information will be useful for developing new approaches to block CRTC1-MAML2 fusion-expressing MEC. The fusion-negative HSY parotid adenocarcinoma cells were used in this study. The MAML2 knockdown was performed with two biological replicates for each group. We utilized pSuperRetro-based retroviruses that express shRNA targeting the MAML2 TAD as well as GFP, and the retroviruses express shRNA targeting luciferase gene (shLuc) and GFP for the control. Cells were infected with retroviruses and cultured for 72 hours. FACS sorting was performed to obtain GFP-positive cells and thus enrich shRNA-expressing cells. RNA was subsequently harvested for microarray analysis. The shMAML2 retroviruses caused MAML2 knockdown in fusion-negative HSY cells.

The information will be useful for developing new approaches to block CRTC1-MAML2 fusion-expressing MEC. The fusion-positive H3118 MEC cells were used in this study. The fusion knockdown was performed with two biological replicates for each group. Since we are unable to obtain any shRNA that causes specific knockdown of CRTC1-MAML2, we utilized pSuperRetro-based retroviruses that express shRNA targeting the MAML2 TAD as well as GFP for fusion knock down, and the retroviruses express shRNA targeting luciferase gene (shLuc) and GFP for the control. Cells were infected with retroviruses and cultured for 48 hours. FACS sorting was performed to obtain GFP-positive cells and thus enrich shRNA-expressing cells. RNA was subsequently harvested for microarray analysis. The shMAML2 retroviruses caused the knockdown of MAML2 and CRTC1-MAML2 fusion in fusion-positive H3118 cells.

Treatment effects of soluble guanylate cyclase modulation on diabetic kidney disease at single-cell resolution

Project description:Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common cause of renal failure. Therapeutics development is hampered by our incomplete understanding of animal models on a cellular level. We show that ZSF1 rats recapitulate human DKD on a phenotypic and transcriptomic level. Tensor decomposition prioritizes proximal tubule (PT) and stroma as phenotype-relevant cell types exhibiting a continuous lineage relationship. As DKD features endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and nitric oxide depletion, soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is a promising DKD drug target. sGC expression is specifically enriched in PT and stroma. In ZSF1 rats, pharmacological sGC activation confers considerable benefits over stimulation and is mechanistically related to improved oxidative stress regulation, resulting in enhanced downstream cGMP effects. Finally, we define sGC gene co-expression modules, which allow stratification of human kidney samples by DKD prevalence and disease-relevant measures such as kidney function, proteinuria, and fibrosis, underscoring the relevance of the sGC pathway to patients.
