  • Epha4/Tie2 Crosstalk Regulates Leptomeningeal Collateral Remodeling Following Ischemic Stroke
    EphA4/Tie2 crosstalk regulates leptomeningeal collateral remodeling following ischemic stroke Benjamin Okyere, … , John B. Matson, Michelle H. Theus J Clin Invest. 2019. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI131493. Research In-Press Preview Neuroscience Vascular biology Leptomeningeal anastomoses or pial collateral vessels play a critical role in cerebral blood flow (CBF) restoration following ischemic stroke. The magnitude of this adaptive response is postulated to be controlled by the endothelium, although the underlying molecular mechanisms remain under investigation. Here we demonstrated that endothelial genetic deletion, using EphA4f/f/Tie2-Cre and EphA4f/f/VeCahderin-CreERT2 mice and vessel painting strategies, implicated EphA4 receptor tyrosine kinase as a major suppressor of pial collateral remodeling, CBF and functional recovery following permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion. Pial collateral remodeling is limited by the cross talk between EphA4-Tie2 signaling in vascular endothelial cells, which is mediated through p-Akt regulation. Furthermore, peptide inhibition of EphA4 resulted in acceleration of the pial arteriogenic response. Our findings demonstrate EphA4 is a negative regulator of Tie2 receptor signaling which limits pial collateral arteriogenesis following cerebrovascular occlusion. Therapeutic targeting of EphA4 and/or Tie2 represents an attractive new strategy for improving collateral function, neural tissue health and functional recovery following ischemic stroke.

Herein, we present single-cell tran- scriptome profiling of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma, the most prevalent histological lung cancer type diagnosed at stage IV in over 40% of all cases. From 208,506 cells populating the normal tissues or early to metastatic stage cancer in 44 patients, we identify a cancer cell subtype deviating from the normal differentiation trajectory and dominating the metastatic stage. In all stages, the stromal and immune cell dynamics reveal ontological and functional changes that create a pro-tumoral and immunosuppressive microenvironment. Normal resident myeloid cell populations are gradually replaced with monocyte-derived macrophages and dendritic cells, along with T-cell exhaustion. This extensive single-cell analysis enhances our understanding of molecular and cellular dynamics in metastatic lung cancer and reveals potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets in cancer-microenvironment interactions. 1 Samsung Genome Institute, Samsung Medical Center, Seoul 06351, Korea.

The sig- nifcance of endothelial cells (ECs) in this scenario was initially attributed to their role in vasculogenesis and angiogen- esis that is critical for tumor initiation and growth. Nevertheless, the identifcation of endothelial-derived angiocrine factors illustrated an alternative non-angiogenic function of ECs contributing to both physiological and pathological tissue development. Gene expression profling studies have demonstrated distinctive expression patterns in tumor- associated endothelial cells that imply a bilateral crosstalk between tumor and its endothelium. Recently, some of the molecular determinants of this reciprocal interaction have been identifed which are considered as potential targets for developing novel anti-angiocrine therapeutic strategies.

  • Stromal Cell Interactions Mediated by Hypoxia-Inducible Factors Promote Angiogenesis, Lymphangiogenesis, and Metastasis
    Oncogene (2013) 32, 4057–4063 & 2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/13 www.nature.com/onc REVIEW Cancer–stromal cell interactions mediated by hypoxia-inducible factors promote angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and metastasis GL Semenza Interactions between cancer cells and stromal cells, including blood vessel endothelial cells (BECs), lymphatic vessel endothelial cells (LECs), bone marrow-derived angiogenic cells (BMDACs) and other bone marrow-derived cells (BMDCs) play important roles in cancer progression. Intratumoral hypoxia, which affects both cancer and stromal cells, is associated with a significantly increased risk of metastasis and mortality in many human cancers. Recent studies have begun to delineate the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of intratumoral hypoxia on cancer progression. Reduced O2 availability induces the activity of hypoxia- inducible factors (HIFs), which activate the transcription of target genes encoding proteins that play important roles in many critical aspects of cancer biology. Included among these are secreted factors, including angiopoietin 2, angiopoietin-like 4, placental growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor B, stem cell factor (kit ligand), stromal-derived factor 1, and vascular endothelial growth factor. These factors are produced by hypoxic cancer cells and directly mediate functional interactions with BECs, LECs, BMDACs and other BMDCs that promote angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and metastasis.

Specifically, altiratinib inhibits not only altiratinib provides an agent that inhibits three major evasive mechanisms of tumor initiation and progression, but also drug (re)vascularization and resistance pathways (HGF, ANG, and resistance mechanisms in the tumor and microenvironment VEGF) and blocks tumor invasion and metastasis. Altiratinib through balanced inhibition of MET, TIE2 (TEK), and VEGFR2 exhibits properties amenable to oral administration and exhibits (KDR) kinases.

  • ETV5 Links the FGFR3 and Hippo Signalling Pathways in Bladder Cancer Received: 2 December 2016 Erica Di Martino, Olivia Alder , Carolyn D
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN ETV5 links the FGFR3 and Hippo signalling pathways in bladder cancer Received: 2 December 2016 Erica di Martino, Olivia Alder , Carolyn D. Hurst & Margaret A. Knowles Accepted: 14 November 2018 Activating mutations of fbroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) are common in urothelial Published: xx xx xxxx carcinoma of the bladder (UC). Silencing or inhibition of mutant FGFR3 in bladder cancer cell lines is associated with decreased malignant potential, confrming its important driver role in UC. However, understanding of how FGFR3 activation drives urothelial malignant transformation remains limited. We have previously shown that mutant FGFR3 alters the cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion properties of urothelial cells, resulting in loss of contact-inhibition of proliferation. In this study, we investigate a transcription factor of the ETS-family, ETV5, as a putative efector of FGFR3 signalling in bladder cancer. We show that FGFR3 signalling induces a MAPK/ERK-mediated increase in ETV5 levels, and that this results in increased level of TAZ, a co-transcriptional regulator downstream of the Hippo signalling pathway involved in cell-contact inhibition. We also demonstrate that ETV5 is a key downstream mediator of the oncogenic efects of mutant FGFR3, as its knockdown in FGFR3-mutant bladder cancer cell lines is associated with reduced proliferation and anchorage-independent growth. Overall this study advances our understanding of the molecular alterations occurring during urothelial malignant transformation and indicates TAZ as a possible therapeutic target in FGFR3-dependent bladder tumours. Fibroblast growth factors (FGF) and their four tyrosine kinase receptors (FGFR1-4) activate multiple downstream cellular signalling pathways, such as MAPK/ERK, PLCγ1, PI3K and STATs, and regulate a variety of physiolog- ical processes, encompassing embryogenesis, angiogenesis, metabolism, and wound healing1–3.
