Project description:The skin has remarkable ability to grow under constant stretch. We developed a mouse model to imitate human tissue expansion to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in tension-induced skin growth. We examined specific pathway changes within the entire skin at both the spatial and single-cell level. Our analysis has revealed the fractions of basal and suprabasal cells increased after expansion. We observed elevated infiltration of immune cells in the skin, suggesting a tension-induced skin inflammatory response.

Project description:PIEZO1 is a mechanically-activated ion channel that contributes to flow sensing in vascular endothelium. Moreover, deletion of endothelial PIEZO1 was recently found to suppress activation of Notch1 target genes in hepatic microvascular endothelium. Here, because of the liver’s dominant role in lipid regulation, we set out to test the novel hypothesis that endothelial PIEZO1 regulates hepatic lipid homeostasis. We performed bulk RNA sequencing on PIEZO1-deleted mice exposed to chow and high fat diets. Our transcriptomics analysis reveal unexpected relevance to lipid and glucose homeostasis.

Project description:Muscle satellite cells (MuSCs), skeletal muscle-resident stem cells, are crucial for regeneration of myofibers. Mechanical cues are thought to be important for activation and proliferation of muscle satellite cells, but the molecular entity that senses biophysical forces in MuSCs remains to be elucidated. In this study, we identified PIEZO1, a mechanosensitive ion channel that is activated by membrane tension, as a critical determinant for myofiber regeneration. We investigated gene profiles of Piezo1-deficient MuSCs to understand the role of PIEZO1 during myogenesis. Our results suggest that PIEZO1 governs the cytoskeletal reorganization to regulate cellular events in MuSCs (i.e., activation, cell-division, and proliferation) during skeletal muscle regeneration.

Project description:In gastric cancer (GC), PIEZO1 was suggested to promote cell migration by interacting with Trefoil factor family 1 (TFF1) and serve as a therapeutic target against invasion and metastasis. In addition, PIEZO1 demonstrates abundant expression in most GC cell lines and primary samples and highly-expressed PIEZO1 is associated with poor disease-specific survival. As Yoda1 is known to be an agonist of PIEZO1, we try to explore the PIEZO1 function in GC by Yoda1 treatment.

Project description:In a rare example akin to organogenesis in adult mammals, large wounds in mice lead to de novo morphogenesis of hair follicles. It is still not fully clear what controls this process, known as wound-induced hair neogenesis (WIHN). In other tissues, prostaglandin E2 is an important effector of regeneration and has been shown to stimulate the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which in turn is known to control WIHN. Previously, our group has shown that noncoding double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) released during wounding is both necessary and sufficient to stimulate WIHN through toll-like receptor 3. Here, we hypothesized that dsRNA similarly induces the β-catenin pathway through prostaglandin E2. We found that WIHN levels correlate closely with Wnt7b production in vivo and that dsRNA potently induces Wnt7b in a manner that requires Ptgs2. The Ptgs2 inhibitor celecoxib reduces dsRNA-induced WIHN and Wnt7b, and exogenous prostaglandin E2 can rescue WIHN and Wnt7b. Although other Wnts and pathways likely contribute, these results highlight noncoding dsRNA as an upstream coordinator of prostaglandin and Wnt levels in regeneration.

Project description:Most cancer cells are exposed to extracellular environments, such as extracellular matrix, which commonly becomes stiffer along with transformation. It is conceivable that tumorous extracellular environments would be changing to affect tumor cell behavior. It has been reported that Hippo pathway responds to the extracellular environments and induces the nuclear localization of transcription activator, yes-associated protein (YAP), resulting in stimulating cell proliferation. Its pathway also regulates gene expression, but the precise molecule to meditate cell proliferating effect of Hippo pathway in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is not well understood. Here, we examined the effects of YAP-mediated Hippo pathway in OSCC tumorigenesis. Loss-of-function experiments using siRNA or an inhibitor, and immunohistochemical analyses of tissue specimens obtained from OSCC specimens demonstrated that YAP-mediated Hippo pathway was involved in OSCC cell proliferation. We identified Piezo-type mechanosensitive ion channel component 1 (PIEZO1), a Ca2+ channel, as a downstream molecule of Hippo pathway and showed that elevated PIEZO1 expression was required for PIEZO1 agonist-dependent Ca2+ entry and cell proliferation in OSCC cells. Furthermore, the experiments using three-dimensional culture and suspension culture revealed that PIEZO1, of which expression was regulated by YAP-mediated Hippo pathway, was involved in OSCC cellular growth. Immunohistochemically, YAP overexpression with nucleus and/or cytoplasm was detected with both PIEZO1 and Ki-67 expression at high frequencies in tumor lesion, but not in non-tumor region, of OSCC specimens. These results suggest that the YAP-mediated Hippo/PIEZO1 axis, which might be activated by the tumorous extracellular environments, promotes OSCC tumor cell growth.

Project description:The propeller-shaped blades of the PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 ion channels partition into the plasma membrane and respond to indentation or stretching of the lipid bilayer, thus converting mechanical forces into signals that can be interpreted by cells, in the form of calcium flux and changes in membrane potential. While PIEZO channels participate in diverse physiological processes, from sensing the shear stress of blood flow in the vasculature to detecting a light touch on the surface of the skin, the molecular details that enable these mechanosensors to tune their responses over a vast dynamic range of forces remain largely uncharacterized. To survey the molecular landscape surrounding PIEZO channels at the cell surface, we employed a mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach to capture and identify extracellularly exposed proteins in the vicinity of PIEZO1. This PIEZO1-proximal interactome was enriched in surface proteins localized to cell junctions and signaling hubs within the plasma membrane. Functional screening of these interaction candidates by calcium imaging and electrophysiology in an overexpression system identified the adhesion molecule CADM1/SynCAM that slows the inactivation kinetics of PIEZO1 with little effect on PIEZO2. Conversely, we found that CADM1 knockdown accelerates inactivation of endogenous PIEZO1 in Neuro-2a cells. Systematic deletion of CADM1 domains indicate that the transmembrane region is critical for the observed effects on PIEZO1, suggesting that modulation of inactivation is mediated by interactions in or near the lipid bilayer.
