Project description:Radiotherapy of head and neck cancer is accompanied by unavoidable co-irradiation of the salivary gland, often resulting in hyposalivation and reduced quality of life. Irradiated salivary gland tissue is characterized by the presence of cellular senescence, fibrosis, and a chronic inflammatory state changing the cellular microenvironment. These microenvironmental changes may be unfavorable for the regenerative potential of tissue stem cells inhibiting regenerative medicine options. Therefore, we investigated microenvironmental changes of the irradiated murine salivary gland and their effect on the potency of salivary gland stem/progenitor cells (SGSCs). After 15 Gy local irradiation of murine salivary glands, alongside an in time advancing decline in function, the submandibular gland (SMG) showed extensive fibrosis, p21-expressing senescent cells, and immune cell infiltration, all indicative of microenvironmental changes. Additionally, irradiated SMG contained a lower number of CD24++/CD29++ and CD24++/CD29+ stem/progenitor cell enrichment marker-expressing cells 30 days post-irradiation which coincides with a reduction in salisphere formation potential over time. However, after subsequent passaging of organoids derived from glands obtained 14 days after irradiation, and to a lesser extent at 30 days post-irradiation, the ability to form secondary organoids recovered to control levels. In contrast, cells obtained from glands at 90, 180, and 360 days post-irradiation irreversibly lost their ability to form organoids, indicating a time-dependent loss of regenerative potential. Transcriptomic analysis showed overexpression of Bmp4 in day 90 organoids derived from irradiated glands compared to the ones from day 14. Inhibition of Bmp4 using Noggin reversed this adverse response suggesting an important role in modulating SGSC function. Thus, early after irradiation, the regenerative potential of surviving SGSCs is preserved and comparable to that of unirradiated cells. At later time points after irradiation, SGSCs lose their regenerative potential suggesting that the prolonged exposure to a deleterious microenvironment leads to an irreversible decline in stemness. Modulation of Bmp4 signaling pathway might improve the regenerative potential of surviving SGSCs and enhance the efficiency of stem cell therapy in restoring the functionality of irradiated salivary glands.

Project description:Endoglin is a membrane glycoprotein primarily expressed by the vascular endothelium and involved in cardiovascular diseases. Upon the proteolytic processing of the membrane-bound protein, a circulating form of endoglin (soluble endoglin, sEng) can be released, and high levels of sEng have been observed in several endothelial-related pathological conditions, where it appears to contribute to endothelial dysfunction. Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder of high prevalence in pregnant women characterized by the onset of high blood pressure and often associated with increased levels of sEng. Although a pathogenic role for sEng involving hypertension has been reported in several animal models of preeclampsia, the exact molecular mechanisms implicated remain to be identified. To search for sEng-induced mediators, we have analyzed the protein secretome of human endothelial cells in the presence of sEng. We find that sEng induces the expression of BMP4 in endothelial cells, as evidenced by their proteomic signature, gene transcript levels and BMP4 promoter activity. A mouse model of preeclampsia with high sEng plasma levels (sEng+) showed increased levels of BMP4 transcripts in lungs and increased circulating BMP4, compared to those of control animals. In addition, after crossing female wild type with male sEng+ mice, hypertension appears 18 days after mating, precisely coinciding with the appearance of high plasma levels of BMP4. Also, serum levels of sEng and BMP4 are positively correlated in pregnant women with and without preeclampsia. Interestingly, sEng-induced arterial pressure elevation in sEng+ mice was abolished in the presence of the BMP4 inhibitor noggin, suggesting that BMP4 is a downstream mediator of sEng. These results provide a better understanding on the role of sEng in the pathobiology of preeclampsia and other cardiovascular diseases, where sEng levels are increased.

Project description:A severe consequence of radiation therapy in patients with head and neck cancer is persistent salivary gland hypofunction which causes xerostomia and oral infections. We previously showed that irradiation (IR) of salivary glands in mice triggers initial transient increases in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROSmt), mitochondrial [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]mt), and activated caspase-3 in acinar cells. In contrast, loss of salivary secretion is persistent. Herein we assessed the role of ROSmt in radiation-induced irreversible loss of salivary gland function. We report that treatment of mice with the mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant, MitoTEMPO, resulted in almost complete protection of salivary gland secretion following either single (15 Gy) or fractionated (5 × 3 Gy) doses of irradiation. Salivary gland cells isolated from MitoTEMPO-treated, irradiated, mice displayed significant attenuation of the initial increases in ROSmt, ([Ca2+]mt, and activated caspase-3 as compared to cells from irradiated, but untreated, animals. Importantly, MitoTEMPO treatment prevented radiation-induced decrease in STIM1, consequently protecting store-operated Ca2+ entry which is critical for saliva secretion. Together, these findings identify the initial increase in ROSmt, that is induced by irradiation, as a critical driver of persistent salivary gland hypofunction. We suggest that the mitochondrially targeted antioxidant, MitoTEMPO, can be potentially important in preventing IR-induced salivary gland dysfunction.

Project description:The objective of this investigation was to characterize, at individual level, the transcriptional response and the onset of regenerative processes in mouse skin irradiated with different doses of fast neutrons. We performed a high-throughput gene expression analysis, by DNA oligonucleotide microarray on 24 three months old C57Bl/6 mice irradiated with 0, 0,2 and 1 Gy of mono-energetic 14 MeV neutron. The results, partially validated by quantitative real time RT-PCR, showed an up-regulation of a sub-class of keratin and keratin associated proteins, and of components of the S100 family of Ca2+-binding proteins which was limited to the lower dose. We conclude that the dose-dependent differential gene expression, reminiscent of the onset of re-epithelialization and wound healing, depends upon the proportion of cells carrying multiple lesions at chromosomal level post-irradiation, and it represents an in vivo evidence of a skin regenerative program exerted independently from DNA repair-associated pathways. Four condition experiment: 6h and 24h from 0.2 Gy neutron irradiation; 6h and 24 from 1 Gy neutron irradiation. One replicate for each condition

Project description:Xerostomia as a result of salivary gland damage is a permanent and debilitating side effect of radiotherapy for head and neck cancers. Effective treatments for protecting, or restoring, salivary gland function are not available. Here we report that irradiation treatment leads to activation of the calcium-permeable channel, transient potential melastatin-like 2 (TRPM2), via stimulation of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase. Importantly, irradiation induced an irreversible loss of salivary gland fluid secretion in TRPM2+/+ mice while a transient loss was seen in TRPM2-/- mice with >60% recovery by 30 days after irradiation. Treatment of TRPM2+/+ mice with the free radical scavenger Tempol or the PARP1 inhibitor 3-aminobenzamide attenuated irradiation-induced activation of TRPM2 and induced significant recovery of salivary fluid secretion. Furthermore, TPL (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl) induced complete recovery of function in irradiated TRPM2-/- mice. These novel data demonstrate that TRPM2 is activated by irradiation, via PARP1 activation, and contributes to irreversible loss of salivary gland function.

Project description:Bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP4) is involved in regulation of neural stem cells (NSCs) proliferation, differentiation, migration and survival. It was previously thought that the treatment of NSCs with BMP4 alone induces astrocytes, whereas the treatment of NSCs with the bFGF/BMP4 combination induces quiescent neural stem cells (qNSCs). In this study, we performed RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to compare the transcriptome profiles of BMP4-treated NSCs and bFGF/BMP4-treated NSCs, and found that both NSCs treated by these two methods were Sox2 positive qNSCs which were able to generate neurospheres. However, NSCs treated by those two methods exhibited different characteristics in state and the potential for neuronal differentiation based on transcriptome analysis and experimental results. We found that BMP4-treated NSCs tended to be in a deeper quiescent state than bFGF/BMP4-treated NSCs as the percentage of ki67-positive cells were lower in BMP4-treated NSCs. And after exposure to differentiated environment, bFGF/BMP4-treated NSCs generated more DCX-positive immature neurons and MAP2-positive neurons than BMP4-treated NSCs. Our study characterized qNSCs treated with BMP4 alone and bFGF/BMP4 combination, which laid a foundation for studying the activation mechanism of qNSCs.
