Full textSearching for candidate furin substrates, the loss of which exhibit VSD led us to analyze the processing of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP4). While proET-1 cleavage into ET-1 is reduced by 57% in absence of furin in ecKO lungs, proBMP4 activation into BMP4 was more than 90% lost in the heart of these mice. We conclude that proET-1 and proBMP-4 are in vivo substrates of furin and that the impaired processing of proBMP-4 is most likely the cause of the observed VSD in mice lacking endothelial furin. Further studies on other regulatory proteins of endothelial cell will unravel more specific in vivo functions of furin identifying other in vivo substrates.
Chez les mammifères, 7 proprotéines convertases (PC) clivent diverses protéines de sécrétion après les acides aminés basiques. Quatre membres de cette famille de convertases sont appelés: furin, PACE4, PC5 et PC7. Furin et PC7 sont omniprésents, tandis que PACE4 et PC5 sont largement exprimées. In vitro, ils ont beaucoup de substrats en commun. Cependant, la furin est essentielle pendant le développement. L'inactivation de son gène (Pcsk3) dans la souris a abouti à la mortalité embryonnaire au 11éme jour (E11). Les embryons montrent de multiples défauts liés au développement particulièrement reliés à la fonction des cellules endothéliales. Afin de définir le rôle de la furin dans les cellules endothéliales, des souris Pcsk3flox/flox portant le transgène Tie2-Cre qui exprime Cre dans le contrôle du promoteur Tie2 ont été produites. Les embryons Pcsk3flox/flox Tg(Tie2-cre) (aussi référés comme ecKO) ne survivent pas, indiquant que la furin a un rôle essentiel dans les cellules endothéliales. Nous avons déterminé que la mortalité arrive peu de temps après la naissance, ne montrant aucun phénotype apparent. Cependant, l'imagerie par résonance magnétique a révélé que les souris ecKO présentent un défaut septal ventriculaire (VSD).
Par la sélection du phénotype utilisant VSD sur les substrats de la furin, nous avons observé que proendothelin-1 (proET-1) a été moins produite dans le poumon de souris ecKO. Nous avons aussi démontré que la protéine morphogénétique-4 de l'os (proBMP-4) a été aussi moins clivée dans le coeur de souris ecKO. Ces observations soutiennent notre hypothèse que proET-1 et proBMP-4 sont les substrats in vivo de la furin et que la production altérée de proBMP-4 est la cause de VSD la plus probable. De nouvelles études sur d'autres protéines régulatrices des cellules endothéliales élucideront les fonctions in vivo plus spécifiques de la furin et l'identification d'autres substrats in vivo. fr

Full textTiivistelmä Alkion sisäelinten kehityksen aikana esisolut lisääntyvät ja erilaistuvat muodostaen tarkoin määriteltyjä monisoluisia rakenteita. Muodostuvan kudosrakenteen määrittelyssä erilaiset solusignaalit ovat keskeisessä asemassa. Yksi näistä on nk. Wnt signaali perhe. Wnt perheeen jäsen Wnt-11 tehtävät on huonosti tunnettu. Wnt-11 viestittää ilmeisesti nk. planaaristen solupolariteettireittien (PCP) avulla, joka on beeta-kateniinista riippumattoman nk. ei-kanonisen Wnt signaali. Väitöskirjatyössä selvitettiin Wnt-11:n vaikutuksia sydämen ja munuaisten kehitykseen in vivo funktionaalisten genomisten menetelmien avulla. Ihmisen synnynnäiset kardiomyopatiat ovat sydänlihaksen ensisijaisia vaurioita, joiden taustalla on sydänlihaksen kehityshäiriö. Tutkimuksessa osoitetaan, että Wnt-11-geenillä on tärkeä merkitys hiiren sydänkammion kehitykselle, koska Wnt-11-geenin puute sydämen varhaisen kehityksen vaiheessa johtaa sydänlihassolujen järjestäytymisen ja kypsymisen häiriintymiseen, jolloin seurauksena on ensisijaisesta kardiomyopatiasta johtuva sikiökuolema. Wnt-11 koordinoi kahden solukiinnitysmolekyylin, N-kadheriinin ja β-kateniinin, samanaikasta ilmentymistä. Kyseiset molekyylit ovat keskeisen tärkeitä sydänlihasssolujen spatiaalisen järjestäytymisen kannalta. Tutkimuksessa osoitetaan, että Wnt-11-puutos aiheuttaa aikuisilla hiirillä ensisijaista sydänlihaksen liikakasvua ja trabekuloivaa kardiomyopatiaa, mikä vaikuttaa sydänlihaksen toimintaan. Tuloksilla voi olla merkitystä tutkittaessa ihmisen synnynnäisiä kardiomyopatioita. Wnt-signaaliperheen on osoitettu olevan yhteydessä munuaisputken kehitykseen ja sen sairauksiin, kuten munuaisten monirakkulatautiin. Väitöstutkimuksessa osoitetaan, että Wnt-11 ilmentyy kypsissä nefroneissa ja että se osallistuu nefrogeneesiin myöhempiin vaiheisiin, koska munuaisputken kehityksen säätely on poikkeavaa niissä munuaisissa, joista Wnt-11 puuttuu. Seurauksena on laajentunut, normaalia poimuttuneempi luumen. Munuaisputken poikkeavuuksilla oli yhteyttä munuaiskerästen mikrokystien muodostumiseen sekä munuaisten vajaatoimintaan. Wnt-11 -puute vähensi huomattavasti Wnt-9b-ilmentymistä, joka on PCP-välitteisen munuaisputken pidentymisen kannalta keskeisen tärkeä signaali. Kortikaalialueella Wnt9b:n vaimennussäätely liittyi poikkeavaan solujen lisääntymiseen, apoptoosiin ja kypsymiseen sekä vähentyneeseen nefroni- ja stroomakantasolujen merkkiaineen ilmentymiseen. Väitöskirjatutkimuksen tulokset viittaavat siihen, että Wnt-11 -toiminto on välttämätön sydänlihaksen normaalin muodostumisen ja kypsymisen sekä munuaisputken normaalin morfogeneesin kannalta sikiövaiheen ja syntymän jälkeisen kehityksen aikana. Wnt-11 -poistogeenisen hiiren fenotyypi riippuu geneettisestä tausta, samaan tapaan kuin ihmisen synnynnäisissä sairauksissa. Väitöstutkimuksesta saatavalla tiedolla voi olla merkitystä tutkittaessa ihmisen synnynnnäistä kardiomyopatiaa ja munuaisten monirakkulatautia
