Description
Summary: Activation of the evolutionarily conserved, developmental Wnt pathway has been reported during maladaptive cardiac remodeling. Although the function of Wnt-transcriptional activation in development is well described, the consequences of Wnt pathway activation, as well as its cardiac-specific regulatory role in the adult heart, is largely unknown. We show that ß-catenin and Transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2), the main nuclear components of the Wnt-transcriptional cascade, and their transcriptional activity are increased upon pathological remodeling in both murine and human hearts. To understand the consequences of increased Wnt signaling pathway activity, we utilized an in vivo mouse model in which ß-catenin is acutely stabilized in adult cardiomyocytes (CM), leading to increased ventricular TCF7L2 expression and activation of its target genes. Mice with stabilized ß-catenin displayed cardiac hypertrophy, increased mortality, reduced cardiac function and altered calcium homeostasis, similar to experimentally induced hypertrophy. Moreover, we observed a re-activation of Wnt-dependent developmental gene programs including activation of the Wnt/ß-catenin-independent pathway, increased CM cell cycling with poly-nucleation and cytoskeletal disorganization, underscoring a central role in adult tissue remodeling. By integrating transcriptome analyses and genome-wide occupancy (ChIP-seq) of the endogenous ventricular TCF7L2, we show that upon aberrant Wnt activation, TCF7L2 induces context and Wnt-specific gene regulation in pathological remodeling. Interestingly, ß-catenin stabilized ventricles showed increased histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) and TCF7L2 recruitment to novel disease-associated gene-specific enhancers. Importantly, using integrative motif analyses and experimental evidences, our data uncovered a role for GATA4 as a cardiogenic regulator of TCF7L2/ß-catenin complex and established a paradigm for cell-specific effects of Wnt signaling. Altogether, our studies unraveled the nuclear Wnt-TCF7L2-associated chromatin landscape and its role in adult tissue remodeling leading to heart failure. Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare transcriptome profiles (RNA-seq) of normal (containing a Cre recombinase positive locus- Cre "positive" control with a WT ß-catenin locus; to eliminate effects of Cre-mediated cardiac toxicity) and ß-catenin stabilized murine adult cardiac ventricles. Methods: Adult cardiac tissue mRNA profiles for normal and Wnt-activated mice were obtained using deep sequencing, in triplicates, using Illumina HiSeq2000. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with TopHat followed by DESeq2. qPCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of the processes triggered upon Wnt activation in the adult heart, which was so far, not investigated. We report that this Wnt activation in the adult heart maintains its developmental function; however due to the lack of adequate developmental plasticity in the adult heart, culminates in pathological remodeling. Overall design: Gene expression profiling from cardiac ventricles of 15 weeks-old mice with wild type and ß-catenin stabilized mice

Description
Rationale: VEGF family members mediate their effects through cell surface receptors VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2 and NRP. Specific ligands were used to stimulate specific combinations of the receptors to evaluate ligand and receptor properties. Objective: The properties of a novel VEGF family member Vammin were studied in level of receptor binding, gene expression in HUVECs by RNAseq and in vivo using adenoviral gene trasfers. Methods: HUVECs were trasduced using adenoviral vectors encoding VEGF-A109, VEGF-A165 and Vammin and with an empty vector as a control. Gene expression was measured using RNA sequencing. Adenoviral intramuscular gene transfers were performed into rabbit hindlimbs. Confocal and multiphoton microscopy were used for blood vessel imaging. Results and conclusions: Vammin is a highly effective VEGFR2 ligand that induces differential gene expression of genes related to proliferation, survival, angiogenesis and blood vessel development in HUVECs. The effect is stronger than ones induced by VEGF-A165 and VEGF-A109. Vammin induces highly efficient angiogenic responses when delivered into rabbit skeletal muscles using adenoviral gene transfers. Overall design: HUVEC mRNA profiles after adenoviral vector gene transfers in duplicate.

Description
In industrial fermentations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, transient changes in oxygen concentration commonly occur and it is important to understand the behaviour of cells during these changes. Saccharomyces cerevisiae CEN.PK113-1A was grown in glucose-limited chemostat culture with 1.0% and 20.9% O2 in the inlet gas (D= 0.10 /h, pH5, 30C). After steady state was achieved, oxygen was replaced with nitrogen and cultures were followed until new steady state was achieved. The overall responses to anaerobic conditions of cells initially in different conditions were very similar. Independent of initial culture conditions, transient downregulation of genes related to growth and cell proliferation, mitochondrial translation and protein import, and sulphate assimilation was seen. In addition, transient or permanent upregulation of genes related to protein degradation, and phosphate and amino acid uptake was observed in all cultures. However, only in the initially oxygen-limited cultures was a transient upregulation of genes related to fatty acid oxidation, peroxisomal biogenesis, oxidative phosphorylation, TCA cycle, response to oxidative stress, and pentose phosphate pathway observed. Furthermore, from the initially oxygen-limited conditions, a rapid response around the metabolites of upper glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway was seen, while from the initially fully aerobic conditions, a slower response around the pathways for utilisation of respiratory carbon sources was observed.

Description
Rationale: Slit2 is a possible modulator of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) - induced angiogenesis, but its effects have not been tested in large animal models. Objective: We studied the effect of Slit2 on therapeutic angiogenesis induced by VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) ligands Vammin and VEGF-D?N?C in vivo in rabbit skeletal muscles. The Slit2 target genes were also studied by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) in endothelial cells. Methods and Results: Adenoviral intramuscular gene transfers were performed into rabbit hindlimbs. Confocal and multiphoton microscopy were used for blood vessel imaging. Signaling experiments and gene expression analyses were performed to study mechanisms of Slit2 action. Slit2 decreased VEGFR2-mediated vascular permeability. It also reduced VEGFR2-mediated increase in blood perfusion and capillary enlargement, whereas sprouting of the capillaries was increased. Slit2 gene transfer alone did not have any effects on vascular functions or morphology. VEGFR2 activation was not affected by Slit2, but eNOS phosphorylation was diminished. The transcriptome profiling showed Slit2 downregulating angiogenesis-related genes such as nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1) and Stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1) as well as genes related to endothelial cell migration and vascular permeability. Conclusions: Combining Slit2 with VEGFs adjusts VEGFR2-mediated angiogenic effects into a more physiological direction. This possibly allows the use of higher VEGF vector doses to achieve a more widespread vector and VEGF distribution in the target tissues leading to a better therapeutic outcome while reducing excess vascular permeability. Overall design: HUVEC mRNA profiles after adenoviral vector gene transfers in duplicate.

Description
Vascular permeability reflects changes in the function of the endothelium, its interendothelial junctions and transcellular delivery. Here, we show that common molecular mechanisms exist between VEGF and histamine in regulating vascular hyperpermeability. Crosstalk between downstream signaling of VEGF and histamine receptors are involved in calcium signaling and cell proliferation. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of vascular permeability is crucial in order to reduce vascular hyperpermeability and oedema in various pathological conditions and in VEGF therapy. Overall design: In despite of the substantial knowledge of VEGF and histamine signal transduction and their physiological responses, molecular mechanisms inducing endothelial cell permeability and proliferation have remained inconclusive. To monitor the transcriptional alteration of proteins known to regulate the endothelial permeability, next-generation RNA sequencing was used. Fold changes of several genes known to regulate calcium signaling, cell adhesion, cell proliferation, ion flux and immune response were compared between the permeabilizing agents.
