Project description:Expression of GPR153 is upregulated in response to damage both in smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells.We found knockdown of GPR153 in SMC reduced the ligation-induced neointima formation, and GPR153 defeciency in EC protect the mice from neuroinflammation. The mechanism of orphan GPCR GPR153 in regulating cell signaling were studied in SMC, EC and HEK293t cell lines.

Project description:Despite recent advances in GPCR structure and pharmacology, the regulation of GPCR activation, signaling, and functioning by diverse post-translational modifications (PTMs) has been largely unexplored. Furthermore, for a special category of self-activating orphan GPCRs, it is completely unknown whether and how specific PTMs control their unique signaling profiles and cellular functions. In this study of GPR52, an orphan GPCR with exceedingly high constitutive G protein signaling activity and emerging as a neurotherapeutic target, we discovered its disproportionately low arrestin recruitment activity. Through profiling the N-glycosylation and phosphorylation patterns of the receptor and clarifying their roles in G protein versus arrestin coupling, we found these two types of PTMs in specific motifs differentially shape the intrinsic signaling bias of GPR52. While N-terminal N-glycosylation promotes constitutive Gs signaling possibly through favoring the self-activating conformation, phosphorylation in helix 8, to our great surprise, suppresses arrestin recruitment and thus attenuates receptor internalization. In addition, we uncovered the counteracting roles of N-glycosylation and phosphorylation in modulating GPR52-dependent accumulation of the huntingtin protein (HTT) in brain striatal cells. Thus, our study provides novel insights into the regulation of intrinsic signaling bias and cellular function of an orphan GPCR via distinct PTMs in different motifs.

Project description:Vascular calcification and increased extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness are hallmarks of vascular ageing. Sox9 (SRY-Box Transcription Factor 9) is a master regulator of chondrogenesis, also expressed in the vasculature, that has been implicated in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) osteo-chondrogenic conversion. Here, we investigated the relationship between vascular ageing, calcification and Sox9-driven ECM regulation in VSMCs. Immunohistochemistry in human aortic samples showed that Sox9 was not spatially associated with vascular calcification but correlated with the senescence marker p16. Analysis of Sox9 expression in vitro showed it was mechanosensitive with increased expression and nuclear translocation in senescent cells and on stiff matrices. Manipulation of Sox9 via overexpression and depletion, combined with atomic force microscopy (AFM) and proteomics, revealed that Sox9 regulates ECM stiffness and organisation by orchestrating changes in collagen expression and reducing VSMC contractility, leading to the formation of an ECM that mirrored that of senescent cells. These ECM changes promoted phenotypic modulation of VSMCs whereby senescent cells plated onto ECM synthesized from cells depleted of Sox9 returned to a proliferative state, while proliferating cells on a matrix produced by Sox9 expressing cells showed reduced proliferation and increased DNA damage, reiterating features of senescent cells. Procollagen-lysine, 2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 3 (LH3) was identified as a Sox9 target, and key regulator of ECM stiffness. LH3 is packaged into extracellular vesicles (EVs) and Sox9 promoted EV secretion, leading to increased LH3 deposition within the ECM. These findings identify cellular senescence and Sox9 as a key regulators of ECM stiffness during VSMC ageing and highlight a crucial role for ECM structure and composition in regulating VSMC phenotype. We identify a positive feedback cycle whereby cellular senescence and increased ECM stiffening promote Sox9 expression which drives further ECM modifications that act to accelerate vascular stiffening and cellular senescence.

Project description:Protection against endothelial damage is recognized as a frontline approach to preventing the progression of cytokine release syndrome (CRS). Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that interleukin-6 (IL-6) promotes vascular endothelial damage during CRS, although the molecular mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated. Targeting IL-6 receptor signaling delays CRS progression; however, current options are limited by persistent inhibition of the immune system. Here, we show that endothelial IL-6 trans-signaling promoted vascular damage and inflammatory responses via hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF1α)‒induced glycolysis. Using pharmacological inhibitors targeting HIF1α activity or mice with the genetic ablation of gp130 in the endothelium, we found that inhibition of IL-6R‒HIF1α signaling in endothelial cells protected against vascular injury caused by septic damage and provided survival benefit in a mouse model of sepsis. In addition, we developed a short half-life anti-IL-6R antibody (silent anti-IL-6R antibody) and found that it was highly effective at augmenting survival for sepsis and severe burn by strengthening the endothelial glycocalyx and reducing cytokine storm, and vascular leakage. Together, our data advance the role of endothelial IL-6 trans-signaling in the progression of CRS and indicate a potential therapeutic approach for burns to address the lack of burn-specific treatments.

Project description:The mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) safeguards mitochondria from proteotoxic damage by activating a dedicated transcriptional response in the nucleus to restore proteostasis. How the mitochondrial protein misfolding information is signalled to the nucleus as part of the human UPRmt remains unclear. Here, we showed that UPRmt signalling is carried out by the co-occurrence of two individual signals – ROS production in mitochondria and accumulation of orphan mitochondrial proteins in the cytosol. Combining proteomics and genetic approaches, we identified that mitochondrial protein misfolding caused the release of ROS into the intermembrane space (IMS), which was essential for UPRmt signalling. ROS released from mitochondria oxidized the cytosolic HSP40 protein DNAJA1 to enhance recruitment of cytosolic HSP70 to orphan mitochondrial proteins that accumulated in parallel in the cytosol due to mitochondrial import defect. This recruitment leads to the release of HSF1 from HSP70 and its subsequent translocation to the nucleus to activate transcription of UPRmt related genes. Strikingly, we found that combining ROS and the accumulation of orphan mitochondrial proteins in the cytosol was sufficient and necessary to activate the UPRmt. Our findings reveal that monitoring of ROS and orphan mitochondrial proteins in cytosol allows an elegant surveillance to control the UPRmt via HSF1 activation in human cells. These observations reveal a novel link between mitochondrial and cytosolic proteostasis and provide molecular insight into UPRmt signalling.

Project description:Adult vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) dedifferentiate in response to extracellular cues such as vascular damage and inflammation. Dedifferentiated VSMCs are proliferative, migratory, less contractile, and can contribute to vascular repair as well as to cardiovascular pathologies such as intimal hyperplasia/restenosis in coronary artery and arterial aneurysm. We here demonstrate the role of ubiquitin-like containing PHD and RING finger domains 1 (UHRF1) as an epigenetic master regulator of VSMC plasticity. UHRF1 expression correlated with the development of vascular pathologies associated with modulation of noncoding RNAs, such as microRNAs. miR-145 — pivotal in regulating VSMC plasticity, which is reduced in vascular diseases — was found to control Uhrf1 mRNA translation. In turn, UHRF1 triggered VSMC proliferation, directly repressing promoters of cell-cycle inhibitor genes (including p21 and p27) and key prodifferentiation genes via the methylation of DNA and histones. Local vascular viral delivery of Uhrf1 shRNAs or Uhrf1 VSMC-specific deletion prevented intimal hyperplasia in mouse carotid artery and decreased vessel damage in a mouse model of aortic aneurysm. Our study demonstrates the fundamental role of Uhrf1 in regulating VSMC phenotype by promoting proliferation and dedifferentiation. UHRF1 targeting may hold therapeutic potential in vascular pathologies.
