Description
Analysis of umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) treated with Egr-3 siRNA under the VEGF treatment for 0,1, and 4 h. Egr-3, a member of early growth response family, is immediately and dramatically induced by VEGF in HUVEC, which regulates expression of many genes related to endothelial activation.
Publication Title

Description
We performed the newly mapping of genome-wide NFATc1 binding events in VEGF-stimulated primary cultured endothelial cells, by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq). Combined NFATc1 ChIP-seq profile and the epigenetic histone marks revealed that predominant NFATc1-occupied peaks were overlapped with promoter marking but not silencer marking. DNA microarrays with NFATc1 expression or knockdown indicated the predominant NFATc1 binding targets were correlated with induced patterns.

Description
Drug-induced cardiac arrhythmia characterized by QT prolongation and torsade de pointes has been a major reason for drug withdrawal at the late stage of clinical trials. Current preclinical testing is still insufficient to identify drugs with pro-arrhythmic risks. Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes are a promising development in safety screening as a reproducible human model. Using the patch-clamp technique, we showed that human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes exhibited spontaneous action potentials, which represent relatively immature forms of cardiac cells. Furthermore, in some spontaneously beating cells, a hERG blocker, E4031, depolarized membrane potentials and stopped spontaneous firing, resulting in failure to evaluate drug effects on electrophysiological parameters that reflect repolarization processes. Here we show that human stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes with transduced KCNJ2 encoding the inward-rectifier potassium channel have characteristics similar to mature cardiomyocytes including responsiveness to rate changes and potassium channel blockers. Our novel strategy could allow implementation of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes in drug safety assessment for cardiac toxicity.

Description
The pre-metastatic niche is a pre-determined site of metastases, awaiting the influx of tumor cells. Here we demonstrate that the calcineurin-NFAT pathway is activated specifically in lung endothelium prior to the detection of tumor cells that preferentially metastasize to the lung. We previously showed that DSCR-1 functions in a negative feedback loop to attenuate calcineurin signaling. Upregulation of the calcineurin pathway via loss of Dscr-1 leads to a significant increase in lung metastasis due to the increased expression of a newly identified NFAT target, Angiopoietin (Ang)-2. An increase in VEGF levels specifically in the lung versus other organ microenvironments triggers a threshold of calcineurin-NFAT signaling that transactivates Ang2 in lung endothelium. Further, we demonstrate that overexpression of DSCR-1 or the Ang-2 receptor, soluble Tie2, prevents activation of the lung endothelium inhibiting lung metastases in our mouse models. Our studies provide insights into mechanisms underlying angiogenesis in the pre-metastatic niche and offers novel targets for lung metastases.

The calcineurin-NFAT-angiopoietin-2 signaling axis in lung endothelium is critical for the establishment of lung metastases.

Description
Endothelial cell activation and dysfunction underlie many vascular disorders, including atherosclerosis and inflammation. Here, we show that interleukin (IL)-4 markedly induced vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, both in cultured endothelial cells and in the intact endothelium in mice. Combined treatment with IL-4 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- alpha resulted in further, sustained induction of VCAM-1 expression. IL-4-mediated induction of VCAM-1 and secondary monocyte adhesion was predominantly regulated by the transcription factor, STAT6. Genome-wide survey of IL-4-mediated STAT6 binding from sequential chromatin-immunoprecipitation with deep-sequencing (ChIP-seq) in endothelial cells revealed regions of transient and sustained transcription factor binding. By combining DNA microarrays and ChIP-seq at the same time points, the majority of IL-4-responsive genes were shown to be STAT6-dependent and associated with direct STAT6 binding to their promoter. IL-4-mediated stable binding of STAT6 led to sustained target gene expression. Moreover, our strategy led to the identification of a novel functionally important STAT6 binding site within -16 kb upstream of the VCAM-1 gene. Taken together, these findings support a critical role for STAT6 in mediating IL-4 signal transduction in endothelial cells. Identification of a novel IL-4-mediated VCAM-1 enhancer may provide a foundation for targeted therapy in vascular disease (ChIP-seq data not submitted to GEO).
