Transcription profiling of pig aortic endothelium taken from regions of disturbed and undisturbed flow

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the role of endothelial cell (EC) gene expression in the focal origin of atherosclerosis, particularly in response to local hemodynamics. Differential gene expression was profiled in EC isolated from athero-susceptible and athero-protected regions of the normal pig aorta. Specifically, a region of disturbed flow (DF, the inner aortic arch) was compared to a region of undisturbed flow (UF, descending thoracic aorta). Linearly amplified RNA was used to screen nylon filter arrays of 13,824 human cDNAs.

In the arterial circulation, regions of disturbed flow (DF), which are characterized by flow separation and transient vortices, are susceptible to atherogenesis, whereas regions of undisturbed laminar flow (UF) appear protected. Coordinated regulation of gene expression by endothelial cells (EC) may result in differing regional phenotypes that either favor or inhibit atherogenesis. Linearly amplified RNA from freshly isolated EC of DF (inner aortic arch) and UF (descending thoracic aorta) region ...[more]

Project description:BACKGROUND: The deSUMOylase SENP2 exerts athero-protective effects by inhibiting endothelial cell (EC) activation through attenuating ERK5 and p53 SUMOylation. Publicly available datasets show that SENP2 S344 is phosphorylated by Checkpoint Kinase 1 (CHK1), but the functional role remains unknown. METHODS: Mouse SENP2 S343A (human S344A) phosphodeficient knock in (KI) mutant was generated by CRISPR/Cas9, and vascular-specific function was assessed via bone marrow transplantation (BMT). ECs from KI and wild type (WT) mice were exposed to smooth (laminar flow; l-flow) or grooved (disturbed flow; d-flow) cone-and-plate devices and characterized by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). RESULTS: L-flow increased CHK1 S280 and SENP2 S344 phosphorylation, which inhibited ERK5 and p53 SUMOylation and atherogenesis in vivo. BMT-generated vascular specific SENP2 S344A KI showed more atherogenesis but thinner fibrous cap formation specifically in the aortic arch area (d-flow) compared to that of WT mice. Ionizing radiation (IR) decreased CHK1 expression and SENP2 S344 phosphorylation, which might account for differences between systemic and BMT-generated vascular specific SENP2 S344A KI models. RNA-seq data analysis showed that SENP2 S344 phosphorylation in ECs in response to l-flow inhibited EC activation and fibrotic changes without interfering EC lineage phenotype. Lastly, l-flow-induced expression of genes was regulated by SENP2 S344 phosphorylation through ERK5 activation and inhibited EC apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS: We uncovered a novel mechanism by which l-flow inhibits EC activation, including proliferation, migration, inflammation, and fibrotic changes, via upregulating CHK1-mediated SENP2 S344 phosphorylation to attenuate atherogenesis. We also uncovered a unique expression pattern of fibrotic changes without affecting EC lineage, which is distinct from endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition and therefore should be considered a unique type of EC activation for its potential role in vulnerable plaque formation.
