Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a premature aging disease in children that leads to early death. Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are the most affected cells in HGPS patients, although the reason for such vulnerability remains poorly understood. In this work, we developed a chip formed from HGPS-SMCs that were generated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to study their vulnerability to flow shear stress. HGPS-iPSC SMCs cultured under arterial flow conditions detached from the chip after a few days of culture; this process was mediated by the up-regulation of metalloprotease 13 (MMP13). Importantly, double mutant LmnaG609G/G609GMmp13-/- mice or LmnaG609G/G609GMmp13+/+ mice treated with a MMP inhibitor showed lower SMC loss in the aortic arch than controls. MMP13 up-regulation appears to be mediated, at least in part, by the up-regulation of glycocalyx. Our results offer a new platform for developing treatments for HGPS patients that may complement previous pre-clinical and clinical treatments.

Project description:The LIM-only protein FHL2 is expressed in SMCs and inhibits SMC-rich lesion formation. However, the underlying mechanism behind FHL2's action in SMCs has been only partially resolved. To further elucidate the role of FHL2 in SMCs we compared the transcriptome of cultured SMCs derived from wild-type (WT) and FHL2-knockout (KO) mice. Comparison of gene expression in aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) isolated from WT and FHL2-knockout (FHL2-KO) mice. SMCs isolated from three mouse aortas were pooled (Kurakula et al, PLOS One, 2014). Both for WT and FHL-KO mice three batches of SMCs (derived from 9 mice) were cultured. The SMCs were grown to confluency and maintained in serum-free medium for 48 hrs before harvest. Subsequently, RNA was isolated for gene expression profiling.

Project description:To gain molecular insight into the inflammatory phenotype of childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CCALD), we performed microarray-based transcriptional profiling analysis of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), control-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN)-iPSCs and CCALD-iPSCs. 200 ng of total RNA from purified hESCs (P35â45), control-iPSCs (P10-20), CCALD-iPSCs (P10â20), AMN-iPSCs (P10â20) was transcribed to yield biotinylated complimentary RNA (cRNA) according to the manufacturerâs instructions.

Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare and fatal human premature aging disease1-5, characterized by premature atherosclerosis and degeneration of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs)6-8. HGPS is caused by a single-point mutation in the LMNA gene, resulting in the generation of progerin, a truncated mutant of lamin A. Accumulation of progerin leads to various aging-associated nuclear defects including disorganization of nuclear lamina and loss of heterochromatin9-12. Here, we report the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from fibroblasts obtained from patients with HGPS. HGPS-iPSCs show absence of progerin, and more importantly, lack the nuclear envelope and epigenetic alterations normally associated with premature aging. Upon differentiation of HGPS-iPSCs, progerin and its associated aging consequences are restored. In particular, directed differentiation of HGPS-iPSCs to SMCs leads to the appearance of premature senescent SMC phenotypes associated with vascular aging. Additionally, our studies identify DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNAPKcs) as a component of the progerin-containing protein complex. The absence of nuclear DNAPKcs correlates with premature as well as physiological aging. Since progerin also accumulates during physiological aging6,12,13, our results provide an in vitro iPSC-based model with an acceleration progerin accumulation to study the pathogenesis of human premature and physiological vascular aging. Microarray gene expression profiling was done to: (1) Compare differences between WT fibroblasts and fibroblasts from patients suffering of the Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (2) Check that iPSC originating from WT and patients are in fact similar to ESC

Project description:Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in the fibrillin-1 (Fbn1) gene. While aortic rupture is the major cause of mortality in MFS, patients also suffer from poorly understood pulmonary complications. Loss of basal nitric oxide (NO) production and vascular integrity are proposed to take part in MFS aortic root disease, yet their contribution to lung complications has yet to be determined. Due to its capacity to potentiate the vasodilatory NO/cyclic guanylate monophosphate signaling pathway, we assessed whether the phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor sildenafil (SIL) could attenuate aortic root remodelling and emphysema in a mouse model of MFS. Despite increasing NO-dependent vasodilation, SIL unexpectedly elevated mean arterial blood pressure, failed to inhibit MFS aortic root dilation and exacerbated elastic fibrefiber fragmentation. In the lung, early pulmonary artery dilation observed in untreated MFS mice was delayed by SIL treatment, and severe emphysema-like alveolar destruction was prevented. In addition, improvements in select parameters of lung function were documented. Subsequent micro-array analyses showed changes to gene signatures involved in the inflammatory response in MFS lung treated with SIL, without significant downregulation of connective tissue or TGF-β signalling genes. Since PDE5 inhibition leads to improved lung histopathology and function, the effects of SIL against emphysema warrant further investigation in the settings of MFS despite limited efficacy on aortic root remodelling.

Project description:Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an irreversible and inherited retinopathy. RPGR mutations are the most common causes of this disease. It remains challenging to decipher the mechanism of RPGR mutation because of the lack of appropriate study models. The substitution of patient-specific diseased retina without ethical restrictions is desired and iPSC-derived 3D retina is the best choice. In our experiment, we generated iPSCs from one RP patient with 2-bp frameshift mutation in the exon14 of RPGR gene, which were differentiated into retinal organoids. Also we generated iPSCs from a normal control and differentiated those control-iPSCs into healthy retinal organoids. Samples of patient- and control-retinal organoids at W0, W7, W13 (two replicates), W18 (two replicates) and W22 (two replicates for patient) were collected for RNA-seq. Corrected-iPSC were derived from CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene correction. Then we collected the corrected-iPSC derived retinal organoids at W0, W7, W13 (two replicates), W18 (two replicates) and W22 (two replicates) for RNA-seq. Through the RNA-seq data, we demonstrate that patient-specific iPSC-dervied 3D retinae can recapitulate disease progress of Retinitis Pigmentosa through presenting defects in photoreceptors' gene profile. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene correction can rescue photoreceptor gene profile. Those transcriptome are consistent with the phenotype and function.

Project description:There is a growing recognition of cerebrovascular contribution to neurodegenerative diseases. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), characterised by amyloid-beta (AM-NM-2) deposits in the walls of intracerebral and leptomeningeal arteries, is evident in a majority of AlzheimerM-bM-^@M-^Ys disease patients and aged people. Here, we leverage on human pluripotent stem cells to generate vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) from neural crest progenitors, recapitulating brain vasculature-specific attributes in AM-NM-2 metabolism. We confirm that the lipoprotein receptor, LRP1, functions in our neural crest-derived SMCs to mediate AM-NM-2 uptake and intracellular proteasomal degradation. Hypoxia significantly compromises the ability of SMCs in AM-NM-2 clearance by suppressing LRP1 expression. This enables us to develop an assay of AM-NM-2 uptake using the neural crest-derived SMCs with hypoxia as a stress paradigm. We then tested several vascular protective compounds in a high throughput format, demonstrating the value of stem cell-based phenotypic screening for novel CAA therapeutics and drug repurposing. We adopted our previous SMC differentiation protocol (Cheung et al., 2012) to differentiate this intermediate neural crest population using platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB, 10 ng/ml) and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-M-NM-21, 2ng/ml) for another 12 days. The resultant neural crest-derived SMCs (NCSMC) were then characterised in comparison to neuroectoderm-derived SMCs (NESMC) (Cheung et al., 2012) and positive control, human brain vascular SMCs (BVSMC).
