Project description:Changes in mechanosensitive ion channels following radiation have seldom been linked to therapeutic sensitivity or specific factors involved in antitumor immunity. Here, in this study, we found that the mechanical force sensor, Piezo2, was significantly upregulated in tumor cells after radiation, and Piezo2 knockout in tumor cells enhanced tumor growth suppression by radiotherapy. Specifically, loss of Piezo2 in tumor cells induced their IL-15 expression via unleashing JAK2/STAT1/IRF-1 axis after radiation. This increase in IL-15 activates IL-15Rα on tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells, thereby leading to their augmented effector and stem cell-like properties, along with reduced terminal exhausted feature. Importantly, Piezo2 expression was negatively correlated with CD8 infiltration, as well as with radiosensitivity of patients with rectum adenocarcinoma receiving radiotherapy treatment. Together, our findings reveal that tumor cell-intrinsic Piezo2 induces radioresistance by dampening the IRF-1/IL-15 axis, thus leading to impaired CD8+ T cell-dependent antitumor responses, providing insights into the further development of combination strategies to treat radioresistant cancers.

Project description:Protein kinase A is a downstream effector of many inflammatory mediators that induce pain hypersensitivity by increasing the mechanosensitivity of nociceptive sensory afferent. Here we examine the molecular mechanism underlying protein kinase-Adependent modulation of the mechanically-activated ion channel PIEZO2, which confers mechanosensitivity to many nociceptors. Using phosphorylation site prediction algorithms, we identified multiple putative and highly conserved PKA phosphorylation sites located on intracellular intrinsically disordered regions of PIEZO2. Site-directed mutagenesis and patch-clamp recordings showed that substitution of one or multiple putative PKA sites within a single intracellular domains does not alter PKA-induced PIEZO2 sensitization, whereas mutation of a combination of nine putative sites located on four different intracellular regions completely abolishes PKA-dependent PIEZO2 modulation, suggesting that the effect requires multisite phosphorylation. By demonstrating that PIEZO1 is not modulated by PKA, our data also reveals a previously unrecognized functional difference between PIEZO1 and PIEZO2. Moreover, by demonstrating that PKA only modulates PIEZO2 currents evoked by focal mechanical indentation of the cell, but not currents evoked by pressure-induced membrane stretch, we provide evidence suggesting that PIEZO2 is a polymodal mechanosensor that engages different protein domains for detecting different types of mechanical stimuli.

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare pediatric brain tumor with a median survival of 10-15 months. Histone H3 is mutated in 80% of DIPGs, dictating tumor location, onset, and outcome. Therapeutic resistance remains a major obstacle to preventing tumor recurrence and is in part driven by cancer stem cells (CSCs), which exhibit self-renewal properties and tumorigenic potential. In previous studies, we have identified these proliferative and tumorigenic features in aldehyde dehydrogenase positive (ALDH+) CSCs in H3K27M mutant DIPG. We hypothesize that ALDH-mediated cancer stemness and resistance may in part be driven by H3K27M. ALDH1A3 expression was reduced in CRISPR-edited DIPG cells (SU-DIPG-XIII) where the H3K27M mutation had been removed (H3K27M-KO). Furthermore, these gained differentiation characteristics and lost their neurosphere-forming potential. The parental (H3K27M) and H3K27M-KO cells were also subjected to ionizing radiation to identify genes responsible for radioresistance in histone-mutated DIPG radioresistance. Nascent transcriptomes were obtained from these cells using bromouridine labeling and capture followed by sequencing (Bru-seq).

Project description:Systemic metabolism ensures energy homeostasis through inter-organ crosstalk regulating thermogenic adipose tissue. Unlike the well-described inductive role of the sympathetic system, the inhibitory signal ensuring energy preservation remains poorly understood. Here, we show that, via the mechanosensor Piezo2, sensory neurons regulate morphological and physiological properties of brown and beige fat and prevent systemic hypermetabolism. Targeting runt-related transcription factor 3 (Runx3)/parvalbumin (PV) sensory neurons in independent genetic mouse models resulted in a systemic metabolic phenotype characterized by reduced body fat and increased insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Deletion of Piezo2 in PV sensory neurons reproduced the phenotype, protected against high-fat-diet-induced obesity, and caused adipose tissue browning and beiging, likely driven by elevated norepinephrine levels. Finding that brown and beige fat are innervated by Runx3/PV sensory neurons expressing Piezo2 suggests a model in which mechanical signals, sensed by Piezo2 in sensory neurons, protect energy storage and prevent a systemic hypermetabolic phenotype.

Project description:Keloids are characterized by persistent scar tissue growth that causes abnormal sensory perceptions due to mechanical stress. But the molecular dysfunction and disease-specific cells that fashion keloid pathophysiology are still not evident. Here, we found a distinct subpopulation of fibroblasts with enhanced expression of PIEZO2 in the dermal layer of keloid patients experiencing dysesthesia, including pain and pressure-tactile itch. The PIEZO2-expressing fibroblasts exhibited a keloid-typical phenotype marked by increased extracellular matrix production signaling and higher levels of collagens such as COL1A1, COL1A2, and COL3A1 compared with other fibroblasts. Notably, patients with higher PIEZO2 expression tend to experience keloid recurrence more quickly after keloidectomy (4/5 vs. 0/5, p = 0.047) than those with lower PIEZO2 expression. Thus, the PIEZO2-positive fibroblasts are indicative cells that most accurately reflect the keloid characteristics, suggesting the driving role for the persistent growth of Keloids.

Project description:Therapeutic resistance after multimodal therapy is the most relevant cause of glioblastoma (GBM) recurrence. Extensive cellular heterogeneity, mainly driven by the presence of GBM stem-like cells (GSC), strongly correlates with patients’ prognosis and limited response to therapies. Defining the mechanisms which drive stemness and control responsiveness to therapy in a GSC-specific manner is therefore mandatory. Here we investigated the role of integrin a6 (ITGA6) in controlling stemness and resistance to radiotherapy in proneural and mesenchymal GSCs subtypes. Using cell sorting, gene silencing, RNA-Seq and in vitro assays, we verified that ITGA6 expression seems crucial for proliferation and stemness of proneural GSCs, while it appears not to be relevant in mesenchymal GSCs under basal conditions. However, when challenged with a fractionated protocol of radiation therapy, comparable to that employed in the clinical setting, mesenchymal GSCs turned out to be dependent on integrin a6 for survival. Specifically, GSCs with reduced levels of ITGA6 displayed a clear reduction of DNA-damage response and perturbation of cell cycle pathways. These data indicate that ITGA6 inhibition is able to overcome the radioresistance of mesenchymal GSCs, while it reduces proliferation and stemness in proneural GSCs. Therefore, integrin a6 controls crucial characteristics across GBM subtypes in GBM heterogeneous biology and thus may represent a promising target to improve patient outcomes

Project description:Compared to the well-established functions of sympathetic innervation, the role of sensory afferents in adipose tissues remains less understood. Recent work revealed the anatomical and physiological significance of adipose sensory innervation; however, its molecular underpinning remains unclear. Here, using organ-targeted single-cell RNA sequencing, we identified the mechanoreceptor PIEZO2 as one of the most prevalent receptors in fat-innervating dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. Selective PIEZO2 deletion in fat-innervating neurons led to molecular alternations in adipose tissue similar to DRG ablation. Conversely, a gain-of-function PIEZO2 mutant shifted the adipose phenotypes in the opposite direction. These results indicate that PIEZO2 plays a major role in the sensory regulation of adipose tissues. This discovery opens new avenues for exploring mechanosensation in organs not traditionally considered mechanically active, such as the adipose tissues, and therefore sheds light on the broader significance of mechanosensation in regulating organ function and homeostasis.
