Gene expression profiling of human atherosclerotic plaque: Carotid plaque

Project description:In order to identify potential new biomarkers of atherosclerotic plaque composition we performed a large scale analysis of gene expression patterns in human atherosclerotic lesions. Whole genome expression analysis of 101 peripheral plaques identified a robust gene signature (1514 genes) dominated by inflammatory processes, and cholesterol metabolism and storage genes. Specific pathways enriched in this signature included activation of the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, T-cell activation, cholesterol efflux, oxidative stress response, inflammatory cytokine production, vasoconstriction and lysosomal activity. Analysis of gene expression in plaque micro-dissected material revealed that the signature is strongly up-regulated in macrophage-rich regions and down-regulated in regions with high smooth muscle cell content. A smaller qPCR biomarker panel and inflammatory composite score (ICS) were developed to facilitate clinical translation of discoveries from gene expression profiling. We found that ICS correlates with histological features related to plaque vulnerability. In addition, ICS is able to separate groups of plaques obtained from symptomatic and asymptomatic patients undergoing carotid endarerectomy. In summary, we identified a robust mRNA biomarker panel associated with histo-pathological as well as clinical hallmarks of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque. This panel may be used as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in clinical setting to evaluate novel anti-atherosclerotic therapies. 6 human carotid plaques were sectioned in 1 mm thick slices. Alternative slices were used for gene expression profiling in Affymetrix/Merck custom 1.0 arrays (GPL10687), or for immunohistochemistry studies (CD68, Actin)

Metabolomic determinants of carotid atherosclerosis plaque stability

Project description:Our objective is to identify the metabolites associated with stability of carotid atheromatous plaques compared to vulnerable plaques, through a metabolomic approach. Eighty consecutive patients with carotid artery stenosis (CAS) who underwent carotid endarterectomy (CEA) according to current guidelines with metabolomic analysis of the removed plaque were included between may 2021 and august 2022, in the vascular surgery department of Marseille University Hospital. Symptomatic patients were qualified by stroke physicians if they experienced an ischemic stroke (IS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in the territory of the culprit artery less than a month before the surgery, with an otherwise negative exhaustive etiological assessment. Patients who did not report any medical history of IS/TIA in the last 6 months before surgery were considered asymptomatic. Patients with history of IS/TIA between one and six months before surgery were excluded (n=8). The metabolomes of 72 remaining carotid atherosclerotic plaques were compared according to their symptomatic status. The Institutional Review Board of Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Marseille approved this study (No. CSE24-4).
