Endothelial Colony Forming Cells (ECFCs): Identification, Specification and Modulation in Cardiovascular Diseases

Huang, Lan 02 February 2010 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / A hierarchy of endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs) with different levels of proliferative potential has been identified in human circulating blood and blood vessels. High proliferative potential ECFCs (HPP-ECFCs) display properties (robust proliferative potential in vitro and vessel-forming ability in vivo) consistent with stem/progenitor cells for the endothelial lineage. Corneal endothelial cells (CECs) are different from circulating and resident vascular endothelial cells (ECs). Whereas systemic vascular endothelium slowly proliferates throughout life, CECs fail to proliferate in situ and merely expand in size to accommodate areas of CEC loss due to injury or senescence. However, we have identified an entire hierarchy of ECFC resident in bovine CECs. Thus, this study provides a new conceptual framework for defining corneal endothelial progenitor cell potential. The identification of persistent corneal HPP-ECFCs in adult subjects might contribute to regenerative medicine in corneal transplantation. While human cord blood derived ECFCs are able to form vessels in vivo, it is unknown whether they are committed to an arterial or venous fate. We have demonstrated that human cord blood derived ECFCs heterogeneously express gene transcripts normally restricted to arterial or venous endothelium. They can be induced to display an arterial gene expression pattern after vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (VEGF165) or Notch ligand Dll1 (Delta1ext-IgG) stimulation in vitro. However, the in vitro Dll1 primed ECFCs fail to display significant skewing toward arterial EC phenotype and function in vivo upon implantation, suggesting that in vitro priming is not sufficient for in vivo specification. Future studies will determine whether ECFCs are amenable to specification in vivo by altering the properties of the implantation microenvironment. There is emerging evidence suggesting that the concentration of circulating ECFCs is closely related to the adverse progression of cardiovascular disorders. In a pig model of acute myocardial ischemia (AMI), we have demonstrated that AMI rapidly mobilizes ECFCs into the circulation, with a significant shift toward HPP-ECFCs. The exact role of the mobilized HPP-ECFCs in homing and participation in repair of the ischemic tissue remains unknown. In summary, these studies contribute to an improved understanding of ECFCs and suggest several possible therapeutic applications of ECFCs.

Eicosanoid Regulation of Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cell Function

Hoggatt, Jonathan G. 21 July 2010 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are routinely used to reconstitute hematopoiesis after myeloablation; however, transplantation efficacy and multilineage reconstitution can be limited by inadequate HSC number, or poor homing, engraftment or self-renewal. We have demonstrated that mouse and human HSC express prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptors, and that short-term ex vivo exposure of HSC to PGE2 enhances their homing, survival and proliferation, resulting in increased long-term repopulating cell and competitive repopulating unit (CRU) frequency. HSC pulsed with PGE2 are more competitive, as determined by head-to-head comparison in a competitive transplantation model. Enhanced HSC frequency and competitive advantage is stable and maintained upon multiple serial transplantations, with full multi-lineage reconstitution. PGE2 increases HSC CXCR4 mRNA and surface expression and enhances their migration to SDF-1α in vitro and homing to bone marrow in vivo and stimulates HSC entry into and progression through cell cycle. In addition, PGE2 enhances HSC survival, associated with an increase in Survivin mRNA and protein expression and reduction in intracellular active caspase-3. While PGE2 pulse of HSC promotes HSC self-renewal, blockade of PGE2 biosynthesis with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) results in expansion of bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC). We co-administered NSAIDs along with the mobilizing agent granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and evaluations of limiting dilution transplants, assays monitoring neutrophil and platelet recoveries, and secondary transplantations, clearly indicate that NSAIDs facilitate mobilization of a hematopoietic graft with superior functional activity compared to the graft mobilized by G-CSF alone. Enhanced mobilization has also been confirmed in baboons mobilized with G-CSF and a NSAID. Increases in mobilization are the result of a reduction of signaling through the PGE2 receptor EP4, which results in marrow expansion and reduction in the osteoblastic HSC niche. We also identify a new role for cannabinoids, an eicosanoid with opposing functions to PGE2, in hematopoietic mobilization. Additionally, we demonstrate increased survival in lethally irradiated mice treated with PGE2, NSAIDs, or the hypoxia mimetic cobalt chloride. Our results define novel mechanisms of action whereby eicosanoids regulate HSC and HPC function, and characterize novel translational strategies for hematopoietic therapies.

Papel de IRS2 en la regulación de la comunicación a través de FGFs en el nicho de células progenitoras hepáticas

Arámbul Anthony, María José 28 October 2022 (has links)
[ES] La resistencia a la insulina se define como un aumento en la cantidad de insulina necesaria para conseguir la homeostasis de glucosa. Una de las complicaciones más comunes de la resistencia a la insulina es el defecto en la reparación de herida. El sustrato 2 del receptor de la insulina (IRS2) es un mediador clave para la señalización de insulina en hígado que actúa de puente entre los receptores de la insulina y del factor de crecimiento insulínico (IGF-1) y sus cascadas de señalización. Tanto la resistencia a la insulina como cambios en los niveles de expresión de IRS2 han sido asociados con el desarrollo y la progresión de enfermedades hepáticas graves. El daño hepático crónico generado por algunos factores derivados de la resistencia a la insulina ha sido establecido como determinante en la patofisiología de las enfermedades hepáticas. Sin embargo, sigue siendo una incógnita cómo el daño hepático generado por la resistencia a la insulina escapa de la extraordinaria capacidad de regeneración del hígado. Durante el daño hepático crónico, la reparación epitelial está mediada por las células progenitoras hepáticas (CPH) que se expanden y diferencian hasta hepatocitos o células biliares rodeadas de un nicho estromal formado por un conjunto de células estrelladas hepáticas (CEH), células inflamatorias, componentes de la matriz extracelular (ECM) y factores de crecimiento. El factor de crecimiento de fibroblastos 7 (FGF7), expresado por las CEH, resulta crítico para la respuesta de las CPH y para la regeneración hepática. Durante el daño hepático crónico las CEH se activan transdiferenciandose desde células quiescentes a células fibrogénicas (CEHa) denominadas miofibroblastos que depositan ECM para reemplazar el tejido dañado. Para alcanzar una correcta regeneración hepática se requiere la resolución de la activación ("reversión fibrogénica") de las CEH. Empleando el modelo de ratón Irs2-/- durante el daño hepático crónico con la dieta DDC 0.1% y los modelos in vitro humanos de CPH (HepaRG) y de CEH (CEH primarias y la línea celular LX-2), los resultados de este trabajo demuestran que la señalización de insulina-IRS2 es necesaria para la epitelización dirigida por la comunicación paracrina a través de FGF7 en el nicho de CPH. Por un lado, IRS2 es necesario en la población de CEH para permitir su supervivencia durante la reversión fibrogénica, un proceso que según nuestros resultados induce un aumento en la expresión de FGF7. Nuestros datos descubren un potencial mecanismo de regulación mediante el que IRS2 induce la expresión de FGF7 en CEH a través de la remodelación en la ECM mediada por NRF2 y el integrante de la ECM SERPINE1 durante las etapas tempranas de la reversión fibrogénica. El eje NRF2-SERPINE1 ha sido descrito anteriormente en fibroblastos de piel como esencial para la reepitelización de herida. NRF2 es el principal factor de transcripción de respuesta frente al estrés oxidativo (ruta canónica). En hepatocitos, la activación de NRF2 también puede inducirse a través de una ruta no canónica mediada por la proteína cargo de la autofagia P62. A pesar de que nuestros datos descubren a P62 como capaz de inducir la actividad de NRF2 en CPH, también demuestran que IRS2 activa a NRF2 en CPH y en CEH de manera independiente a la ruta no canónica mediada por P62. Por otro lado, demostramos que la señalización de insulina-IRS2, por promover la producción de FGF7, permite un novedoso bucle de inducción positiva mediante el que la respuesta a FGF7 en CPH promueve la expresión de su receptor, FGFR2b, favoreciendo su propia sensibilidad y sosteniendo la reparación epitelial. Futuras estrategias para potenciar en hígado la actividad de NRF2 y la señalización de FGF7 podrían servir para mejorar el pronóstico de los pacientes con resistencia a la insulina, diabetes o enfermedad metabólica por promover la reparación epitelial en hígado y reducir su riesgo de desarrollar patologías hepáticas graves con elevada tasa de mortalidad. / [CAT] La resistència a la insulina es defineix com un augment en la quantitat d'insulina necessària per a aconseguir l'homeòstasi de glucosa. Una de les complicacions més freqüents de la resistència a la insulina és el defecte en la reparació de ferida. El substrat 2 del receptor de la insulina (IRS2) és un mediador clau per a la senyalització d'insulina en fetge que actua de pont entre els receptors de la insulina i del factor de creixement insulínic (IGF-1) i les seues cascades de senyalització. Tant la resistència a la insulina com els canvis en els nivells d'expressió d'IRS2 han sigut associats amb el desenvolupament i la progressió de malalties hepàtiques greus. El mal hepàtic crònic generat per alguns factors derivats de la resistència a la insulina s'ha establert com a determinant en la patofisiologia de les malalties hepàtiques. No obstant això, els motius pels quals el mal hepàtic generat per la resistència a la insulina escapa a l'extraordinària capacitat de regeneració del fetge són encara una incògnita. Durant el mal crònic, la reparació epitelial està mediada per les cèl·lules progenitores hepàtiques (CPH) que s'expandeixen i diferencien fins a hepatòcits o cèl·lules biliars envoltades d'un nínxol estromal format per un conjunt de cèl·lules estavellades hepàtiques (CEH), cèl·lules inflamatòries, components de la matriu extracelul·lar (ECM) i factors de creixement. El factor de creixement de fibroblasts 7 (FGF7), expressat en fetge per les CEH, resulta crític per a la resposta de les CPH i per a la regeneració hepàtica. Durant el mal hepàtic crònic les CEH s'activen transdiferenciant-se des de cèl·lules quiescents a cèl·lules fibrogèniques denominades miofibroblasts (CEH activades) que depositen ECM per a reemplaçar el teixit danyat. Per a aconseguir una correcta regeneració hepàtica es requereix la resolució de l'activació ("reversió fibrogènica") de les CEH. A partir de l'ús del model de ratolí Irs2-/- durant el mal hepàtic crònic amb la dieta DDC 0.1% i dels models in vitro humans de CPH (HepaRG) i de CEH (CEH primàries i la línia cel·lular LX-2), els resultats d'aquest treball demostren que la senyalització d'insulina-IRS2 és necessària per a l'epitelització dirigida per la comunicació paracrina mitjançant FGF7 en el nínxol de CPH. D'una banda, IRS2 és necessari en la població de CEH per a permetre la seua supervivència durant la reversió fibrogènica, que comporta un augment en l'expressió de FGF7. Les nostres dades descobreixen un potencial mecanisme de regulació mitjançant el qual IRS2 indueix l'expressió de FGF7 en CEH a través de la remodelació en la ECM mediada per NRF2 i per l'integrant de la ECM SERPINE1, que ocorre en les etapes primerenques de la reversió fibrogènica. L'eix NRF2-SERPINE1 ha sigut identificat anteriorment en fibroblasts de pell com a essencial per a la reparació de ferida. NRF2 és el principal factor de transcripció de resposta davant de l'estrés oxidatiu (ruta canònica). En hepatòcits, l'activació de NRF2 també pot induir-se a través d'una ruta no canònica mediada per la proteïna de càrrega de l'autofàgia P62. A pesar que les nostres dades indiquen que P62 és capaç d'induir l'activitat de NRF2 en CPH, també demostren que IRS2 activa NRF2 en CPH i CEH de manera independent a la ruta no canònica mediada per P62. D'altra banda, demostrem que la senyalització d'insulina-IRS2, per promoure la producció de FGF7, permet un nou bucle d'inducció positiva mitjançant el qual la resposta a FGF7 en CPH promou l'expressió del seu receptor, FGFR2b, afavorint la seua pròpia sensibilitat i sostenint la reparació epitelial. Futures estratègies per a potenciar en fetge l'activitat de NRF2 i la senyalització de FGF7 podrien servir per a millorar el pronòstic dels pacients amb resistència a la insulina, diabetis o malaltia metabòlica, per promoure la reparació epitelial en fetge i reduir, per tant, el seu risc de desenvolupar patologies hepàtiques greus amb elevada taxa de mortalitat. / [EN] Insulin resistance is defined as an increase in the amount of insulin that is necessary to achieve glucose homeostasis. One of the most prevalent complications of insulin resistance is the wound healing defect. Insulin receptor factor 2 (IRS2) is a key mediator of the insulin signaling in liver, which acts as a bridge between insulin and insulin growth factor 1 (IGF-1) receptors and its downstream molecular pathways. Both, insulin resistance and changes in the expression levels of IRS2, have been associated with the development and progression of severe liver diseases. Chronic liver injury produced by insulin resistance has been stablished as crucial in the pathophysiology of liver disease. However, it remains unknown how the chronic liver injury produced by insulin resistance escapes from the extraordinary ability of the liver to regenerate. During chronic liver injury, epithelial repair is mediated by liver progenitor cells (LPC), that expand and differentiate into hepatocytes and cholangiocytes surrounded by a stromal niche that consist of hepatic stellate cells (HSC), inflammatory cells, extracellular matrix (ECM) components and growth factors. Fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF7), expressed by HSC, is critic for LPC response and liver regeneration. During chronic liver injury, HSC transdifferentiate from quiescent to active fibrogenic HSC (aHSC) called myofibroblast. aHSC deposit ECM to replace damaged tissue. A successful regeneration requires the resolution of the HSC activation, i.e., the "fibrogenic reversion" of HSC. Using the Irs2-/- mice model during chronic liver damage induced by 0.1% DDC diet and the human in vitro models of LPC (HepaRG) and HSC (primary HSC and the cell line LX-2), our results reveal a new role of insulin-IRS2 in the modulation of the paracrine FGF7 crosstalk in the LPC niche that drives LPC epithelization. On the one hand, IRS2 is necessary in HSC to allow survival during fibrogenic reversion, a process that according to our data induces an increase in FGF7 expression. Our results reveal a potential mechanism by which IRS2 promotes FGF7 expression in HSC through an ECM remodeling process that is mediated by NRF2 and the ECM constituent SERPINE1 during the early stages of fibrogenic reversion. NRF2-SERPINE1-mediated ECM remodeling has been previously identified in skin fibroblast as essential to promote re-epithelialization of wounds. NRF2 is a transcription factor that is activated in response to oxidative stress (canonical pathway). NRF2 activation in hepatocytes can be also induced by a non-canonical pathway mediated by the autophagy cargo protein P62. Although our data discovers a new ability of P62 to induce NRF2 activity in LPC, we also demonstrate that IRS2 activates NRF2 in LPC and HSC in a P62-independent manner. On the other hand, we demonstrate that insulin-IRS2 signaling, by promoting FGF7 production, enables a novel positive induction loop whereby FGF7 response in LPC promotes the expression of its receptor, FGFR2b, favoring its own sensitivity and sustaining epithelial repair. Future strategies to enhance NRF2 activity or FGF7 signaling in liver might be useful to improve the prognosis of insulin resistance, diabetic, and metabolic disease patients because of its uncovered ability to promote epithelial repair, thus, preventing the development of severe liver pathologies with high mortality risk. / Arámbul Anthony, MJ.

Impact de Nogo-A sur les propriétés vasculogéniques des cellules endothéliales progénitrices lors de la rétinopathie induite par l’oxygène

Ruknudin, Pakiza 09 1900 (has links)
La dégénérescence vasculaire et l’incapacité l’organisme à produire des vaisseaux sanguins de façon adéquate lors d’une condition ischémique est un fait saillant des rétinopathies ischémiques telles que la rétinopathie du prématuré (ROP). La ROP demeure la principale cause de défaillance visuelle et dans les cas extrêmes, de cécité chez les nourrissons prématurés. Elle présente deux phases distinctes soit une phase initiale clef de vasooblitération (VO) rétinienne et choroïdale qui entraînent la deuxième phase de néovascularisation (NV) rétinienne désorganisée et excessive. Au cours du développement normal, la NV oculaire a recours au phénomène d’angiogenèse qui consiste en la formation de nouveaux capillaires à partir de vaisseaux préexistants et de vasculogenèse qui consiste en la formation de nouveaux capillaires à partir de cellules endothéliales progénitrices dérivées de la moelle osseuse (BM-EPCs). Cette vasculogenèse implique la mobilisation des EPCs de la moelle osseuse vers la circulation afin d’être recrutées au site de NV pour contribuer de façon directe, soit en intégrant directement les structures vasculaires pour former des néovaisseaux, ou bien de façon indirecte par leur activité paracrine en libérant différents facteurs de croissance vasculaires. Toutefois, les mécanismes moléculaires impliqués dans la dysfonction des EPCs lors de la ROP sont encore mal compris. Au cours de mon mémoire, mes travaux ont ciblé la première phase de VO rétinienne afin de promouvoir la revascularisation par une thérapie basée sur une supplémentation d’EPCs natives ou reprogrammées. Compte tenu du rôle capital des EPCs dans la NV, mon mémoire s’est d’abord intéressé au rôle de Nogo-A (une protéine de la famille de réticulon), connue pour son action anti-angiogénique, sur l'activité fonctionnelle des EPCs en condition de ROP. Pour ce faire, nous avons utilisé un modèle de rétinopathie induite par l’oxygène (OIR) simulant la ROP. L’objectif global de ce projet consiste à évaluer l’interrelation entre l’effet de l’hyperoxie (une condition clef de la ROP) sur la voie de signalisation Nogo-A et de son récepteur NgR1 sur la fonction des EPCs. Premièrement, les résultats obtenus montrent une augmentation de l’expression de Nogo-A et NgR1 chez les BM-EPCs soumis ex vivo à l’hyperoxie, mais aussi dans les EPCs extraites des rats OIR. En addition, l’augmentation de l’expression de Nogo-A/NgR1 par l’hyperoxie corrèle avec la dysfonction angiogénique des EPCs caractérisées par une diminution de leurs capacités de migration et de tubulogenèse. De façon intéressante, l’inhibition de Nogo-A (par un peptide neutralisant) améliore la capacité migratoire et tubulogénique des EPCs, et protège leur fonction contre l’hyperoxie. Également, l’inhibition de Nogo-A induit l’expression du facteur angiogénique et mobilisateur d’EPCs, SDF-1, suggérant que NgR1 régule négativement l’expression de SDF-1. Par ailleurs, nous avions également pour objectif final d’évaluer l’efficacité protectrice d’une supplémentation d’EPCs natives ou reprogrammées (Nogo-/-) pour améliorer la revascularisation rétinienne dans un modèle de rat OIR. Les résultats montrent qu’une supplémentation intrapéritonéale d’EPCs natives diminue significativement la VO rétinienne, mais que cet effet pro-angiogénique devient plus prononcé par le traitement d’EPCs préconditionnées (reprogrammées par l’inhibition de Nogo-A) chez les rats OIR. Collectivement, nos résultats démontrent que : 1) l’hyperoxie cause une dysfonction angiogénique des BM-EPCs en induisant Nogo-A ce qui contribue à la VO rétinienne chez les rats OIR, et que 2) une supplémentation d’EPCs conditionnées (reprogrammées par l’inhibition de Nogo-A) est plus efficace qu’une supplémentation d’EPCs natives pour améliorer la réparation vasculaire rétinienne. Pour conclure, nous mettons donc en évidence une cible potentielle qui est la protéine Nogo-A afin de préserver l’activité biologique des EPCs et ultimement, l’intégrité vasculaire chez les rats OIR. / Vascular degeneration and the inability of the body to produce adequate blood vessels during an ischemic condition is a salient feature of ischemic retinopathies such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). ROP remains the leading cause of visual impairment and in extreme cases, blindness in premature infants. It presents two distinct phases: a key initial phase of retinal and choroidal vasoobliteration (VO) which leads to the second phase of disorganized and excessive retinal neovascularization (NV). During normal development, ocular NV uses the phenomenon of angiogenesis which consists of the formation of new capillaries from pre-existing vessels and vasculogenesis which consists of the formation of new capillaries from progenitor endothelial cells derived from the marrow bone (BM-EPCs). This vasculogenesis involves the mobilization of EPCs from the bone marrow to the circulation in order to be recruited at the NV site to contribute directly, either by directly integrating the vascular structures to form new vessels, or indirectly by their paracrine activity by releasing different vascular growth factors. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the dysfunction of EPCs during ROP are still poorly understood. During my thesis, my work targeted the first phase of retinal VO in order to promote revascularization by therapy based on supplementation of native or reprogrammed EPCs. Given the capital role of EPCs in NV, my thesis was first interested in the role of Nogo-A (a protein of the reticulon family), known for its anti-angiogenic action, on the functional activity of EPCs in ROP condition. To do this, we used an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) model simulating ROP. The overall objective of this project is to assess the interrelationship between the effect of hyperoxia (a key condition of ROP) on the Nogo-A signaling pathway and its NgR1 receptor on the function of EPCs. First, the results obtained show an increase in the expression of Nogo-A and NgR1 in BM-EPCs subjected to hyperoxia ex vivo, but also in EPCs extracted from OIR rats. In addition, the increase in the expression of Nogo-A / NgR1 by hyperoxia correlates with the angiogenic dysfunction of EPCs characterized by a decrease in their capacity for migration and tubulogenesis. Interestingly, inhibition of Nogo-A (by a neutralizing peptide) improves the migratory and tubulogenic capacity of EPCs, and protects their function against hyperoxia. Also, inhibition of Nogo-A induces expression of the angiogenic and mobilizing factor of EPCs, SDF-1, suggesting that NgR1 negatively regulates the expression of SDF-1. In addition, our final objective was also to evaluate the protective efficacy of supplementation of native or reprogrammed EPCs (Nogo - / -) to improve retinal revascularization in an OIR rat model. The results show that intraperitoneal supplementation of native EPCs significantly decreases retinal VO, but that this pro-angiogenic effect becomes more pronounced by treatment of preconditioned EPCs (reprogrammed by inhibition of Nogo-A) in OIR rats. Collectively, our results demonstrate that: 1) hyperoxia causes angiogenic dysfunction of BM-EPCs by inducing Nogo-A which contributes to retinal VO in OIR rats, and that 2) supplementation of conditioned (reprogrammed by inhibition of Nogo-A) is more effective than supplementation of native EPCs in improving retinal vascular repairs. To conclude, we therefore highlight a potential target which is the Nogo-A protein in order to preserve the biological activity of EPCs and ultimately, vascular integrity in OIR rats.

The role of neutrophils in trained immunity

Kalafati, Lydia, Hatzioannou, Aikaterini, Hajishengallis, George, Chavakis, Triantafyllos 26 February 2024 (has links)
The principle of trained immunity represents innate immune memory due to sustained, mainly epigenetic, changes triggered by endogenous or exogenous stimuli in bone marrow (BM) progenitors (central trained immunity) and their innate immune cell progeny, thereby triggering elevated responsiveness against secondary stimuli. BM progenitors can respond to microbial and sterile signals, thereby possibly acquiring trained immunity-mediated long-lasting alterations that may shape the fate and function of their progeny, for example, neutrophils. Neutrophils, the most abundant innate immune cell population, are produced in the BM from committed progenitor cells in a process designated granulopoiesis. Neutrophils are the first responders against infectious or inflammatory challenges and have versatile functions in immunity. Together with other innate immune cells, neutrophils are effectors of peripheral trained immunity. However, given the short lifetime of neutrophils, their ability to acquire immunological memory may lie in the central training of their BM progenitors resulting in generation of reprogrammed, that is, “trained”, neutrophils. Although trained immunity may have beneficial effects in infection or cancer, it may also mediate detrimental outcomes in chronic inflammation. Here, we review the emerging research area of trained immunity with a particular emphasis on the role of neutrophils and granulopoiesis.
