Patients with cerebral small-vessel disease (CSVD) exhibit perturbed end-artery function and have an increased risk for stroke and age-related cognitive decline. Here, we used targeted genome-wide association (GWA) analysis and defined a CSVD locus adjacent to the forkhead transcription factor FOXC1. Moreover, we determined that the linked SNPs influence FOXC1 transcript levels and demonstrated that patients as young as 1 year of age with altered FOXC1 function exhibit CSVD. MRI analysis of patients with missense and nonsense mutations as well as FOXCI-encompassing segmental duplication and deletion revealed white matter hyperintensities, dilated perivascular spaces, and lacunar infarction. In a zebrafish model, overexpression or morpholino-induced suppression of foxc1 induced cerebral hemorrhage. Inhibition of foxc1 perturbed platelet-derived growth factor (Pdgf) signaling, impairing neural crest migration and the recruitment of mural cells, which are essential for vascular stability. GWA analysis also linked the FOXC1-interacting transcription factor PITX2 to CSVD, and both patients with PITX2 mutations and murine [Pitx2.sup.-/-] mutants displayed brain vascular phenotypes. Together, these results extend the genetic etiology of stroke and demonstrate an increasing developmental basis for human cerebrovascular disease., Introduction Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, whose prevalence increases dramatically with age. Despite its substantial heritable basis, only a small number of causative genes have so [...]

Those who study macrophage biology struggle with the decision whether to utilize primary macrophages derived directly from mice or opt for the convenience and genetic tractability of immortalized macrophage‐like cell lines in in vitro studies. Particularly when it comes to studying phagocytosis and phagosomal maturation—a signature cellular process of the macrophage—many commonly used cell lines are not representative of what occurs in primary macrophages. A system developed by Mark Kamps' group, that utilizes conditionally constitutive activity of Hox transcription factors (Hoxb8 and Hoxa9) to immortalize differentiation‐competent myeloid cell progenitors of mice, offers an alternative to the macrophage/macrophage‐like dichotomy. In this resource, we will review the use of Hoxb8 and Hoxa9 as hematopoietic regulators to conditionally immortalize murine hematopoietic progenitor cells which retain their ability to differentiate into many functional immune cell types including macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, osteoclasts, eosinophils, dendritic cells, as well as limited potential for the generation of lymphocytes. We further demonstrate that the use of macrophages derived from Hoxb8/Hoxa9 immortalized progenitors and their similarities to bone marrow‐derived macrophages. To supplement the existing data, mass spectrometry‐based proteomics, flow cytometry, cytology, and in vitro phagosomal assays were conducted on macrophages derived from Hoxb8 immortalized progenitors and compared to bone marrow‐derived macrophages and the macrophage‐like cell line J774. We additionally propose the use of a standardized nomenclature to describe cells derived from the Hoxb8/Hoxa9 system in anticipation of their expanded use in the study of leukocyte cell biology.

SNPs associated with human stroke risk have been identified in the intergenic region between Forkhead family transcription factors FOXF2 and FOXQ1, but we lack amechanism for the association. FoxF2 is expressed in vascular mural pericytes and is important for maintaining pericyte number and stabilizing small vessels in zebrafish. The stroke-associated SNPs are located in a previously unknown transcriptional enhancer for FOXF2, functional in human cells and zebrafish. We identify critical enhancer regions for FOXF2 gene expression, including binding sites occupied by transcription factors ETS1, RBPJ, and CTCF. rs74564934, a stroke-associated SNP adjacent to the ETS1 binding site, decreases enhancer function, as does mutation of RPBJ sites. rs74564934 is significantly associated with the increased risk of any stroke, ischemic stroke, small vessel stroke, and elevated white matter hyperintensity burden in humans. Foxf2 has a conserved function cross-species and is expressed in vascular mural pericytes of the vessel wall. Thus, stroke-associated SNPs modulate enhancer activity and expression of a regulator of vascular stabilization, FOXF2, thereby modulating stroke risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background: The zebrafish genetic mutant iguana ( igu) has defects in the ciliary basal body protein Dzip1, causing improper cilia formation. Dzip1 also interacts with the downstream transcriptional activators of Hedgehog (Hh), the Gli proteins, and Hh signaling is disrupted in igu mutants. Hh governs a wide range of developmental processes, including stabilizing developing blood vessels to prevent hemorrhage. Using igu mutant embryos and embryos treated with the Hh pathway antagonist cyclopamine, we conducted a microarray to determine genes involved in Hh signaling mediating vascular stability. Results: We identified 40 genes with significantly altered expression in both igu mutants and cyclopamine-treated embryos. For a subset of these, we used in situ hybridization to determine localization during embryonic development and confirm the expression changes seen on the array. Conclusions: Through comparing gene expression changes in a genetic model of vascular instability with a chemical inhibition of Hh signaling, we identified a set of 40 differentially expressed genes with potential roles in vascular stabilization.

Respiratory silicosis is a preventable occupational disease that develops secondary to the aspiration of crystalline silicon dioxide (silica) into the lungs, activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and IL-1β production. Cathepsin Z has been associated with the development of inflammation and IL-1β production; however, the mechanism of how cathepsin Z leads to IL-1β production is unknown. Here, the requirement for cathepsin Z in silicosis was determined using WT mice and mice deficient in cathepsin Z. The activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages was studied using WT and cathepsin Z-deficient bone marrow-derived murine dendritic cells and the human monocytic cell line THP-1. The cells were activated with silica, and IL-1β release was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or IL-1β bioassays. The relative contribution of the active domain or integrin-binding domain of cathepsin Z was studied using recombinant cathepsin Z constructs and the α5 integrin neutralizing antibody. We report that the lysosomal cysteine protease cathepsin Z potentiates the development of inflammation associated with respiratory silicosis by augmenting NLRP3 inflammasome-derived IL-1β expression in response to silica. The secreted cathepsin Z functions nonproteolytically via the internal integrin-binding domain to impact caspase-1 activation and the production of active IL-1β through integrin α5 without affecting the transcription levels of NLRP3 inflammasome components. This work reveals a regulatory pathway for the NLRP3 inflammasome that occurs in an outside-in fashion and provides a link between extracellular cathepsin Z and inflammation. Furthermore, it reveals a level of NLRP3 inflammasome regulation that has previously only been found downstream of extracellular pathogens. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
