Project description:Vascular permeability is frequently associated with inflammation and it is triggered by chemokines and by a cohort of secreted permeability factors, such as VEGF. In contrast, here we showed that the physiological vascular permeability that precedes implantation is directly controlled by progesterone receptor (PR) and it is independent of VEGF. Both global and endothelial-specific deletion of PR block physiological vascular permeability in the uterus while misexpression of PR in the endothelium of other organs results in ectopic vascular leakage. Integration of genome-wide transcriptional profile of endothelium and ChIP-sequencing revealed that PR induces a NR4A1 (Nur77/TR3) specific transcriptional program that broadly regulates vascular permeability in response to progesterone. This program triggers concurrent suppression of several junctional proteins and leads to an effective, timely and venule-specific regulation of vascular barrier function. Silencing NR4A1 blocks PR-mediated permeability responses indicating a direct link between PR and NR4A1. These results reveal a previously unknown function for progesterone receptor on endothelial cell biology with consequences to physiological vascular permeability and implications to the clinical use of progestins and anti-progestins on blood vessel integrity.

Project description:Cerebral malaria (CM) lethality is attributable to brain edema induction but the cellular mechanisms involving brain microvascular endothelium in CM pathogenesis are unexplored. Activation of the STING-INFb-CXCL10 axis in brain endothelial cells (BECs) is a prominent component of the innate immune response in cerebral malaria (CM) development in mouse models. Using a T cell-reporter system, we show that Type 1 IFN signaling in BECs exposed to Plasmodium berghei-infected erythrocytes (PbA-IE), functionally enhances MHC Class-I antigen presentation through gamma-interferon independent immunoproteasome activation and impacted the proteome functionally related to vesicle trafficking, protein processing, and folding and antigen presentation. In vitro assays show that Type 1 IFN signaling and immunoproteasome activation are also involved in the dysfunction of the endothelial barrier through disturbing gene expression in the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway. We demonstrate that IE exposure induces a substantial increase in BECs glucose uptake while glycolysis blockade abrogates INFb secretion impairing immunoproteasome activation, antigen presentation, and Wnt/ ß-catenin signaling. Metabolome analysis show that energy demand and production are markedly increased in BECs exposed to IE as revealed by enriched content in glucose and fatty acid catabolites. In accordance, glycolysis blockade in vivo delayed the clinical onset of CM in mice. Our results unveiled that Type 1 IFN signaling and subsequent immunoproteasome activation in BECs contribute to enhanced antigen presentation and the impairment of the endothelial barrier function. We also show that Type 1 IFN signaling and its downstream effects are licensed by dramatic increase in glucose uptake with an impact on energy metabolism pathways. This work raises the hypothesis that Type 1 IFN- immunoproteasome induction response in BECs contributes to CM pathology and fatality (1) by increasing antigen presentation to cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, which is a determinant of brain cytotoxic edema and (2) by promoting endothelial barrier dysfunction, that likely favors brain vasogenic edema.

Project description:The most severe form of Plasmodium falciparum infection, cerebral malaria (CM), is linked to the parasite’s ability to bind to specific endothelial receptors in brain capillaries. However, the host and parasitic factors causing CM are not yet fully elucidated and the transcriptome profile of P. falciparum isolated from patients with CM remains largely unknown. To complement this deficiency, we aimed to characterize the gene expression associated with CM, by sequencing the parasite’s transcriptome from 15 CM and 15 uncomplicated malaria Beninese children. We demonstrated a specific gene expression in CM, making it possible to completely distinguish the two clinical phenotypes. Numerous biological pathways including entry into host and cytoadherence were predicted as impacted. In addition, infected erythrocytes (iE) from CM children had a decreased circulation time. It may be the result of a stronger adhesion capacity of these iE, which we previously demonstrated in vitro. Consistent with this result, we were able to measure an overall increased expression of the var genes family, encoding for the major mediator of adherence to host endothelium. This phenomenon may allow iE to avoid splenic clearance and cause the increased parasitaemia measured in CM.

Project description:Steroid hormones are well-recognized suppressors of the inflammatory response, however, their cell- and tissue-specific effects in the regulation of inflammation are far less understood, particularly for the sex-related steroids. To determine the contribution of progesterone in the endothelium, we have characterized and validated an in vitro culture system in which human umbilical vein endothelial cells constitutively express human progesterone receptor (PR). Using next generation RNA-sequencing, we identified a selective group of cytokines that are suppressed by progesterone both under physiological conditions and during pathological activation by lipopolysaccharide. In particular, IL-6, IL-8, CXCL2/3, and CXCL1 were found to be direct targets of PR, as determined by ChIP-sequencing. Regulation of these cytokines by progesterone was also confirmed by bead-based multiplex cytokine assays and quantitative PCR. These findings provide a novel role for PR in the direct regulation of cytokine levels secreted by the endothelium. They also suggest that progesterone-PR signaling in the endothelium directly impacts leukocyte trafficking in PR-expressing tissues Examination of PR target genes in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) using RNA-seq PR infected only (PR); PR infected followed by ligand treatment (PR+P); PR infected followed by 4h LPS treatment (PR+LPs_4h); PR infected followed by 8h LPS treatment (PR+LPs_8h); PR infected followed by 4h LPS and progesterone treatment (PR+LPS+P_4h); PR infected followed by 8h LPS and progesterone treatment (PR+LPS+P_8h)

Project description:Dengue viruses cause two severe diseases that alter vascular fluid barrier functions, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). While the mechanisms that lead to vascular permeability are unknown, the endothelium plays a central role in regulating fluid and cellular efflux from capillaries. Thus, dysregulation of endothelial cells functions by dengue virus infection may contribute to pathogenesis and severe disease. We used microarrays to investigate the effect of dengue virus infection on gene expression within primary human endothelial cells at various times post infection and identified numerous upregulated antiviral and immune response genes. Early passage primary endothelial cells (HUVECs) were mock infected (no virus) or infected with dengue virus and total RNA collected at 3 timepoints: 12, 24, and 48 hours post infection. Multiple timepoints were analyzed to identify changes in gene expression levels over time. Gene expression from both mock infected and dengue virus infected endothelial cells was evaluated to determine fold induction at each timepoint.

Abstract:
Vascular endothelium expressing endothelial nitric oxide
synthase (eNOS) produces nitric oxide (NO), which has a number
of important physiological functions in the microvasculature.
The rate of NO production by the endothelium is a critical
determinant of NO distribution in the vascular wall. We have
analyzed the biochemical pathways of NO synthesis and
formulated a model to estimate NO production by the
microvascular endothelium under physiological conditions. The
model quantifies the NO produced by eNOS based on the kinetics
of NO synthesis and the availability of eNOS and its
intracellular substrates. The predicted NO production from
microvessels was in the range of 0.005-0.1 microM/s. This range
of predicted values is in agreement with some experimental
values but is much lower than other rates previously measured
or estimated from experimental data with the help of
mathematical modeling. Paradoxical discrepancies between the
model predictions and previously reported results based on
experimental measurements of NO concentration in the vicinity
of the arteriolar wall suggest that NO can also be released
through eNOS-independent mechanisms, such as catalysis by
neuronal NOS (nNOS). We also used our model to test the
sensitivity of NO production to substrate availability, eNOS
concentration, and potential rate-limiting factors. The results
indicated that the predicted low level of NO production can be
attributed primarily to a low expression of eNOS in the
microvascular endothelial cells.

Project description:Sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (IEs) in the brain microcirculation is a hallmark of cerebral malaria (CM), leading to endothelial activation, microvascular occlusion, brain swelling, and death. The inflammatory pathogenesis is however poorly understood, partly due to the lack of suitable in vitro platforms to study CM biology. Here, we used 3D perfusable brain microvessels to investigate combinatorial pathogen and host inflammatory stimuli over the in situ parasite maturation and IE rupture. Whereas tumor necros factor (TNF) potently upregulated adhesion molecules and inflammatory pathways, and uniformly recruited leukocytes throughout the microvessels, P. falciparum-IEs upregulated unique stress response pathways, induced minor junctional disturbances and low levels of endothelial apoptosis, and preferentially recruited leukocytes at IE binding regions. Furthermore, parasites delayed recovery from TNF stimulation and enhanced inflammatory responses. Our findings offer insights into CM biology, and suggest that multiple events intersect to promote brain barrier inflammation in CM.

Project description:Experiments on primary cultures of native and regenerated endothelial cells demonstrated genomic changes in the latter related to vasomotor control, coagulation, oxidative stress, lipid metabolism and extracellular matrix. However, the genomic changes caused by the combination of either hyperlipidemia or supplementation with polyunsaturated fatty acids and endothelial regeneration are unknown.The present experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that endothelial regeneration process is affected differentially at the genomic level by the exposure to either high cholesterol or PUFA-rich diet in vivo. This study consists of three treatment groups, the control (n=8), high cholesterol-fed (CHL;n=6) and PUFA-rich (FO; n=6) groups. Native (LCX) and regenerated (LAD) samples of each animal from each treatment group was analyzed and followed by statistical analysis (paired t test) of all the animals from each group. The analytical results (N vs R) from each group would then be compared to that of the control group. Native cells from control group would also be compared to the native cells of the other animal groups (CHL/FO). Supplementary files: Comparisons of fish oil vs ctrl and high cholesterol vs ctrl.

Project description:Cerebral malaria is a multifactorial condition that begins with high numbers of infected erythrocytes binding to human brain endothelium without invasion into the brain. Here we investigated the global transcriptional gene response of primary human brain endothelial cells after incubation with high numbers of infected erythrocytes; High or low parasite binding phenotypes did not alter gene response. Predominate amongst signaling pathways were the NF-kB proinflammatory response. The inflammatory pathways were validated by direct measurement of proteins. This study delineates the strong inflammatory component of human brain endothelium contributing to cerebral malaria. Experiment Overall Design: Total of 8 samples (4 control and 4 treated) were analyzed. 4 control samples included two normal RBC control and two medium controls. 4 treated samples includes 2 exposed to low binding Pf-IRBC and 2 exposed to high binding Pf-IRBC (Pf-IRBC-P). Medium and RBC controls were finally used as four replicates of control and all four Pf-IRBC or Pf-IRBC-P exposed endothelial cells were used as 4 separate treated controls.
