Functional relevance of tetraspanin CD9 in vascular smooth muscle cell injury

ABSTRACT: Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration and proliferation are critical events in the development of neointima following vascular injury. Exogenous expression of human CD9 by CD9-adenoviral transduction led to increases in neointima. CD9 expression significantly augmented PI-3 kinase dependent Akt phosphorylation with concurrent adhesion to extracellular matrix protein fibronectin (FN). Furthermore,enhanced Akt phosphorylation was attenuated by anti-CD9 mAb7 binding. As multiple factors contribute to the regulation of VSMC phenotype, our aim was to establish whether increased CD9 expression would induce changes in the expression of other genes associated with VSMC proliferation and motility. RASM were transduced with either CD9 adenovirus or control and were plated on FN for 6hours. Cells were harvested from 3 replicate plates and total RNA from each was isolated using the TRIzol method and pooled for each CD9 and LacZ transduced RASM. RNA was sent to Genome Explorations Memphis TN for microarray analysis. Microarray analyses were done using the U230.2 rat gene chip from Affymetrix using RNA prepared from two RASM transduction experiments. Two independent microarray data sets have been generated and analyzed by comparing the filtered gene lists generated by the Affymetrix GeneChip Operating Software and looking for regulated genes common both sets of data. Analysis of this data showed the regulation of some key genes involved in the modulation of VSMC motility and proliferation.

Project description:IRF9 is ubiquitously expressed and mediates the effects of IFNs, previous study showed that IRF9 played an important role in immunity and cell fate decision. Our recent study revealed that IRF9 involved in cardiac hypertrophy, hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance. However, the function of IRF9 in VSMC and neointima formation was largely unknown. We found that IRF9 expression was significantly increased in the VSMCs of mouse carotid artery. More importantly, we generated SMC-specific IRF9 overexpression transgenic mice (IRF9 TG) and found that IRF9 TG significantly increased VSMC proliferation, migration and neointima formation compared with NTG mice in response to injury. To evaluate the underlying mechanism by which IRF9 promotes VSMC proliferation and migration after vascular injury, IRF9 TG and NTG mice were subjected to wire-injury and the carotid arteries were collected at 14 days post-injury. We combined 3-5 vessels for one sample, and 3 samples for each phenotype. Subsequently, a total of 400ng RNA was used following Affymetrix instruction and 10 ug of cRNA were hybridized for 16 hr at 45°. GeneChips were scanned using the Scanner 7G and the data was analyzed with Expression Console using Affymetrix default analysis settings and global scaling as normalization method. RMA analysis was employed to evaluate the gene expression. We used microarrays to detect the global gene expression in the carotid arteries of smooth muscle cell specific IRF9 transgenic mice(IRF9 TG) compared with non transgenic control mice (NTG) at 14 days post-injury and identified distinct classes of altered genes. non-transgenic controls mice (NTG) and smooth muscle specific IRF9 transgenic mice (IRF9 TG) were subjected to wire-injury and the carotid ateries were collected at 14 days post-injury. We combine 3-5 vessels in one tube and for a single Affymetrix microarray. Total RNA was extracted and a total of 400ng RNA was used following Affymetrix instruction. 3 biological samples for each genotype.
