Project description:Sulfation is a widespread modification for biomolecules so far poorly explored. Through cross phenotype meta-analysis for human bone mineral density up to 426824 participants and phenotypic characterization of multiple mutant mouse lines, we identified a causative role of the sulfate transporter SLC26A2 deficiency in osteoporosis. Ablation of SLC26A2 in osteoblasts caused severe bone loss and accumulation of immature bone cells and elicited a peculiar pericellular matrix (PCM) outcome, undersulfation coupled with decreased stiffness. Consequently, such altered chemophysical properties of PCM disrupted focal adhesion formation of osteoblasts. Based on bulk RNA sequencing and functional assays, we held a mechano-reciprocal tandem inhibition of FAK and YAP/TAZ responsible for impinged osteoblast maturation by SLC26A2 deficiency, where sulfation and stiffness of PCM were compromised by defective sulfate uptake and thus to exert an outside-in impediment to FAK-dependent YAP/TAZ activity required for osteoblast maturation. Moreover, pharmacological abrogation of the Hippo kinases and forced wheel-running concordantly ameliorated SLC26A2-deficient osteoporosis via enforcement of YAP/TAZ activity. Intriguingly, “guilt by association” analysis of single-cell sequencing data suggested coordination between sulfate metabolism, focal adhesion and YAP/TAZ activity during osteoblast-to-osteocyte transition. As seen in ovariectomized mice and patients with osteoporosis, tandem inhibition of FAK and YAP/TAZ apparently engaged in pathology of broader types of osteoporosis beyond SLC26A2 context. Collectively, these data unveil an unanticipated role of sulfation in developmental mechanoreciprocity between matrix and osteoblasts, which could be leveraged to prevent bone loss.

Project description:Tumor extracellular matrices (ECM) exhibit aberrant changes in composition and mechanics compared to normal tissues. Proteoglycans (PG) are vital regulators of cellular signaling in the ECM with ability to modulate receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activation via their sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) side chains. However, their role on tumor cell behavior is controversial. Here, we demonstrate that PGs are heavily expressed in lung adenocarcinoma patients in correlation with invasive phenotype and poor prognosis. We developed an engineered human lung tumor model which recapitulate the increase of sGAGs in tumors in an organotypic matrix with independent control of stiffness, viscoelasticity, ligand density and porosity. Our model reveals that increased sulfation stimulates extensive proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and stemness in cancer cells. We identified the FAK-PI3K-Akt signaling axis as a mediator of sulfation-induced molecular changes in cells upon activation of a distinct set of RTKs within tumor-mimetic hydrogels. We employed an integrative omics and network modeling approach to uncover the transcriptomic landscape of tumor cells in response to sulfation which demonstrated resemblance to PG-rich patient tumors.

Project description:Matrix mineralization controls gene expression in osteoblasts
| PRJNA470642 | ENA
Project description:Osteoblasts are adherent cells. Under physiological conditions they attach to mineralized and non-mineralized osseous surfaces. However, how exactly osteoblasts respond to these different osseous surfaces is largely unknown. Our hypothesis was that the state of matrix mineralization provides a functional signal to osteoblasts. To assess the osteoblast response to mineralized compared to demineralized osseous surfaces, we assessed the transcriptom.

Project description:Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are two critical cell populations in bone remodelling. FasL is known from osteoblast-induced osteoclast apoptosis. Notably, FasL deficient (gld) mice display increased bone mass pointing to non-apoptotic functions of FasL. Some key extracellular matrix associated molecules, such as osteoprotegerin, osteocalcin, osteopontin and alkaline phosphatase were reported to be affected by FasL deficiency in osteoblasts but a complex insight has been missing. To fill this gap and provide a robust dataset, gld calva-derived cells were differentiated along with controls and subjected to RNASequencing. The analysis revealed statistically significant changes in expression of 1,710 genes. 15 % (263) out of them were associated with the extracellular matrix. This applied for the collagen components, but also non-collagenous proteoglycans including versican and aggrecan. This report provides enrichment analysis of statistically significant expression changes in calva-derived osteoblastic cells with focus on extracellular matrix components. The dataset further provides a solid background for further functional analyses revealing the exact mechanisms behind and consequences of such dysregulations in pathophysiology.

Project description:Embryonic stem (ES) cells continuously decide whether to maintain pluripotency or differentiate. While exogenous LIF and BMP4 perpetuate a pluripotent state, less is known about factors initiating differentiation. We show that heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans are critical co-receptors for signals inducing ES cell differentiation. Genetic targeting of NDST1 and 2, two enzymes required for N-sulfation of proteoglycans, blocked differentiation. This phenotype was rescued by HS presented in trans or by soluble heparin. NaClO3-, which reduces sulfation of proteoglycans, potently blocked differentiation of wild type cells. Mechanistically, N-sulfation was identified to be critical for functional autocrine FGF4 signalling. Micro array analysis identified the pluripotency maintaining transcription factors Nanog, KLF2/4/8, Tbx3 and Tcf3 to be negatively regulated, whereas markers of differentiation such as Gbx2, Dnmt3b, FGF5 and Brachyury were induced by sulfation-dependent-FGFR signalling. We show that several of these genes are heterogeneously expressed in ES cells and targeting of heparan sulfation or FGFR-signalling facilitated a homogenous Nanog/KLF4/Tbx3 positive ES cell state. This finding suggests that the recently discovered heterogeneous state of ES cells is regulated by HS-dependent FGFR signalling. Similarly, culturing blastocysts with NaClO3- eliminated GATA6 positive primitive endoderm progenitors generating a homogenous Nanog positive inner cell mass. Functionally, reduction of sulfation robustly improved de novo ES cell derivation efficiency. We conclude that N-sulfated HS is required for FGF4 signalling to maintain ES cells primed for differentiation in a heterogeneous state. Inhibiting this pathway facilitates a more naïve ground state.

Project description:The incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is gradually increasing. A high-fat diet (HFD) is known to disrupt intestinal homeostasis and aggravate IBD, yet the underlying mechanisms remain largely undefined. Here, a positive correlation between dietary fat intake and disease severity in both IBD patients and HFD-fed mice is observed. HFD induces a significant decrease in indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and lead to intestinal barrier damage. Furthermore, IAA supplementation enhances the intestinal mucin sulfation and effectively alleviates colitis. Mechanistically, IAA upregulates key molecules involved in mucin sulfation, including Papss2 and Slc35b3, the synthesis enzyme and the transferase of 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS), via the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR). More importantly, AHR can directly bind to the transcription start site of Papss2. Oral administration of Lactobacillus reuteri, which can produce IAA, contributes to protecting against colitis and promoting mucin sulfation, while the modified L. reuteri strain lacking the iaaM gene (LactobacillusΔiaaM) and the ability to produce IAA fails to exhibit such effects. Overall, IAA enhances intestinal mucin sulfation through AHR, contributing to the protection of intestinal homeostasis.
