Hinsch CL, Venkata JK, Hsu T, Dammai V. Controlled Plasma Membrane Delivery of FGFR1 and Modulation of Signaling by a Novel Regulated Anterograde RTK Transport Pathway. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5837. [PMID: 38136383 PMCID: PMC10741464 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15245837] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2023] [Revised: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
How human FGFR1 localizes to the PM is unknown. Currently, it is assumed that newly synthesized FGFR1 is continuously delivered to the PM. However, evidence indicates that FGFR1 is mostly sequestered in intracellular post-Golgi vesicles (PGVs) under normal conditions. In this report, live-cell imaging and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) were employed to study the dynamics of these FGFR1-positive vesicles. We designed recombinant proteins to target different transport components to and from the FGFR1 vesicles. Mouse embryoid bodies (mEBs) were used as a 3D model system to confirm major findings. Briefly, we found that Rab2a, Rab6a, Rab8a, RalA and caveolins are integral components of FGFR1-positive vesicles, representing a novel compartment. While intracellular sequestration prevented FGFR1 activation, serum starvation and hypoxia stimulated PM localization of FGFR1. Under these conditions, FGFR1 C-terminus acts as a scaffold to assemble proteins to (i) inactivate Rab2a and release sequestration, and (ii) assemble Rab6a for localized activation of Rab8a and RalA-exocyst to deliver the receptor to the PM. This novel pathway is named Regulated Anterograde RTK Transport (RART). This is the first instance of RTK regulated through control of PM delivery.

Abstract
Tumor neovascularization may occur via both angiogenic and vasculogenic events. In order to investigate the vessel formation during tumor growth, we developed a novel experimental model that takes into account the differentiative and tumorigenic properties of Embryonic Stem cells (ESCs). Leukemia Inhibitory Factor-deprived murine ESCs were grafted on the top of the chick embryo chorionallantoic membrane (CAM) in ovo. Cell grafts progressively grew, forming a vascularized mass within 10 days. At this stage, the grafts are formed by cells with differentiative features representative of all three germ layers, thus originating teratomas, a germinal cell tumor. In addition, ESC supports neovascular events by recruiting host capillaries from surrounding tissue that infiltrates the tumor mass. Moreover, immunofluorescence studies demonstrate that perfused active blood vessels within the tumor are of both avian and murine origin because of the simultaneous occurrence of angiogenic and vasculogenic events. In conclusion, the chick embryo ESC/CAM-derived teratoma model may represent a useful approach to investigate both vasculogenic and angiogenic events during tumor growth and for the study of natural and synthetic modulators of the two processes.

Abstract
Recurrent cardiovascular events are vital to the prevention and treatment strategies in patients who have experienced primary cardiovascular events. However, the susceptibility of recurrent cardiovascular events varies among patients. Personalized treatment and prognosis prediction are urged. Microarray profiling of samples from patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with or without recurrent cardiovascular events, were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Bioinformatics analysis, including Gene Oncology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), were used to identify genes and pathways specifically associated with recurrent cardiovascular events. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and visualized. A total of 1,329 genes were differentially expressed in the two group samples. Among them, 1,023 differentially expressed genes (DEGs; 76.98%) were upregulated in the recurrent cardiovascular events group and 306 DEGs (23.02%) were downregulated. Significantly enriched GO terms for molecular functions were nucleotide binding and nucleic acid binding, for biological processes were signal transduction and regulation of transcription (DNA-dependent), and for cellular component were cytoplasm and nucleus. The most significant pathway in our KEGG analysis was Pathways in cancer (P=0.000336681), and regulation of actin cytoskeleton was also significantly enriched (P=0.00165229). In the PPI network, the significant hub nodes were GNG4, MAPK8, PIK3R2, EP300, CREB1 and PIK3CB. The present study demonstrated the underlying molecular differences between patients with AMI, with and without recurrent cardiovascular events, including DEGs, their biological function, signaling pathways and key genes in the PPI network. With the use of bioinformatics and genomics these findings can be used to investigate the pathological mechanism, and improve the prevention and treatment of recurrent cardiovascular events.

Abstract
The glycosaminoglycan chondroitin sulfate is a critical component of proteoglycans on the cell surface and in the extracellular matrix. As such, chondroitin sulfate side chains and the sulfation balance of chondroitin play important roles in the control of signaling pathways, and have a functional importance in human disease. In contrast, very little is known about the roles of chondroitin sulfate molecules and sulfation patterns during mammalian development and cell lineage specification. Here, we report a novel biphasic role of chondroitin sulfate in the specification of the cardiac cell lineage during embryonic stem cell differentiation through modulation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. Lineage marker analysis demonstrates that enzymatic elimination of endogenous chondroitin sulfates leads to defects specifically in cardiac differentiation. This is accompanied by a reduction in the number of beating cardiac foci. Mechanistically, we show that endogenous chondroitin sulfate controls cardiac differentiation in a temporal biphasic manner through inhibition of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway, a known regulatory pathway for the cardiac lineage. Treatment with a specific exogenous chondroitin sulfate, CS-E, could mimic these biphasic effects on cardiac differentiation and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. These results establish chondroitin sulfate and its sulfation balance as important regulators of cardiac cell lineage decisions through control of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Our work suggests that targeting the chondroitin biosynthesis and sulfation machinery is a novel promising avenue in regenerative strategies after heart injury.

Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (Fgfr1) gene knockout impairs cardiomyocyte differentiation in murine embryonic stem cells (mESC). Here, various chemical compounds able to enhance cardiomyocyte differentiation in mESC [including dimethylsulfoxide, ascorbic acid (vitC), free radicals and reactive oxygen species] were tested for their ability to rescue the cardiomyogenic potential of Fgfr1(-/-) mESC. Among them, only the reduced form of vitC, l-ascorbic acid, was able to recover beating cell differentiation in Fgfr1(-/-) mESC. The appearance of contracting cells was paralleled by the expression of early and late cardiac gene markers, thus suggesting their identity as cardiomyocytes. In the attempt to elucidate the mechanism of action of vitC on Fgfr1(-/-) mESC, we analyzed several parameters related to the intracellular redox state, such as reactive oxygen species content, Nox4 expression, and superoxide dismutase activity. The results did not show any relationship between the antioxidant capacity of vitC and cardiomyocyte differentiation in Fgfr1(-/-) mESC. No correlation was found also for the ability of vitC to modulate the expression of pluripotency genes. Then, we tested the hypothesis that vitC was acting as a prolyl hydroxylase cofactor by maintaining iron in a reduced state. We first analyze hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α mRNA and protein levels that were found to be slightly upregulated in Fgfr1(-/-) cells. We treated mESC with Fe(2+) or the HIF inhibitor CAY10585 during the first phases of the differentiation process and, similar to vitC, the two compounds were able to rescue cardiomyocyte formation in Fgfr1(-/-) mESC, thus implicating HIF-1α modulation in Fgfr1-dependent cardiomyogenesis.
