Transendothelial hyperpermeability caused by numerous agonists is dependent on heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) and leads to endothelial barrier dysfunction (EBD). Inhibition of Hsp90 protects and restores transendothelial permeability. Hyperacetylation of Hsp90, as by inhibitors of histone deacetylase (HDAC), suppresses its chaperone function and mimics the effects of Hsp90 inhibitors. In this study we assessed the role of HDAC in mediating lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced transendothelial hyperpermeability and acute lung injury (ALI). We demonstrate that HDAC inhibition protects against LPS-mediated EBD. Inhibition of multiple HDAC by the general inhibitors panobinostat or trichostatin provided protection against LPS-induced transendothelial hyperpermeability, acetylated and suppressed Hsp90 chaperone function, and attenuated RhoA activity and signaling crucial to endothelial barrier function. Treatment with the HDAC3-selective inhibitor RGFP-966 or the HDAC6-selective inhibitor tubastatin A provided partial protection against LPS-mediated transendothelial hyperpermeability. Similarly, knock down of HDAC3 and HDAC6 by specific small-interfering RNAs provided significant protection against LPS-induced EBD. Furthermore, combined pharmacological inhibition of both HDAC3 and -6 attenuated the inflammation, capillary permeability, and structural abnormalities associated with LPS-induced ALI in mice. Together these data indicate that HDAC mediate increased transendothelial hyperpermeability caused by LPS and that inhibition of HDAC protects against LPS-mediated EBD and ALI by suppressing Hsp90-dependent RhoA activity and signaling.

Introduction: Acute lung injury (ALI) and its more severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome, are associated with high morbidity and mortality in patients. During the progression of ALI, the endothelial cell barrier of the pulmonary vasculature becomes compromised, leading to pulmonary edema, a characteristic feature of ALI. It is well-established that EC barrier dysfunction is initiated by cytoskeletal remodeling, which leads to disruption of cell-cell contacts and formation of paracellular gaps, allowing penetration of protein-rich fluid and inflammatory cells. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are important players in endothelial dysfunction and inflammation but their effects on endothelial permeability in ALI have not been investigated until now. Methods and Results: As a first approach to assess the role of BMPs in acute lung injury we analysed BMP4 and BMPER expression in an infectious (LPS) and a non-infectious (bleomycin) mouse models of acute lung injury. In both models BMP4 and BMPER protein expression levels were reduced demonstrated by western blots, suggesting that BMPs are involved in progression ALI. To assess the role of BMPs on vascular leakage, a key feature of ALI, BMP activity in mice was inhibited by i.p. administration of LDN193189, a small molecule that blocks BMP signalling. After 3 days Evans blue dye (EVB) was administered i.v. and dye extravasation into the lungs was quantified as a marker for vascular leakage. Interestingly, LDN193189 significantly increased endothelial permeability compared to control lungs, indicating that BMP signaling is involved in maintenance of endothelial barrier function. To quantify effects of BMP inhibition on endothelial barrier function in vitro, HUVECs were seeded onto transwell filters and were exposed to LDN193189. After 3 days FITC-dextrane was added and passage into the lower chamber was quantified as a marker for endothelial barrier function. Thrombin served as a positive control. As expected from our in vivo experiments inhibition of BMP signaling by LDN193189 enhanced FITC-dextrane passage. To study specific effects of BMPs on endothelial barrier function, two protagonist of the BMP family, BMP2 and BMP4, or BMP modulator BMPER were tested in the transwell assay in vitro. Interestingly BMP4 and BMPER, but not BMP2, reduced FITC-dextrane passage demonstrating that BMP4 and BMPER improved endothelial barrier function. Vice versa, specific knock down of BMP4 or BMPER increased leakage in transwell assays. Im immuncytochemistry silencing of BMPER or BMP4 induced hyperpermeability as a consequence of a pro-inflammatory endothelial phenotype characterised by reduced cell-cell contacts and increased actin stress fiber formation. Additionally, the pro-inflammatory endothelial phenotype was confirmed by real-time revealing increased expression of adhesion molecules ICAM-1 or proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-8 in endothelial cells after BMPER or BMP4 knock down. Confirming these in vitro results BMPER +/- mice exhibit increased extravasation of EVB into the lungs, indicating that partial loss of BMPER impairs endothelial barrier function in vitro and in vivo. Conclusion: We identify BMPER and BMP4 as local regulators of vascular permeability. Both are protective for endothelial barrier function and may open new therapeutic avenues in the treatment of acute lung injury.
