Project description:The molecular mechanisms of progressive right heart failure are incompletely understood. We systematically examined transcriptomic changes occurring over months in isolated cardiomyocytes or whole heart tissues from failing right and left ventricles in rat models of pulmonary artery (PAB) or aortic banding (AOB). Detailed bioinformatics analyses resulted in the identification of gene signatures, protein, and transcription factor networks specific to ventricles and compensated or decompensated disease states. Proteomic and RNA-FISH analyses confirmed PAB-mediated regulation of key genes (including proenkephalin) and revealed spatially heterogeneous mRNA expression in the heart. Intersection of rat PAB-specific gene sets with transcriptome data sets from human patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension led to the identification of more than 50 genes whose expression levels correlated with the severity of right heart disease, including multiple matrix-regulating and secreted factors. These data define a conserved, differentially regulated genetic network associated with right heart failure in rats and humans

Project description:This study aims to compared mRNA expression between radiation-induced fibrotic skin and adjacent normal tissues of rats by RNA-Seq. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (4 weeks old) were irradiated with a single 45-Gy dose of irradiation was administered to the treatment area at a rate of 750 cGy/min using a 6-MeV electron beam accelerator (Clinac 2100EX, Varian Medical Systems, Inc., CA). Skin tissues from nonirradated skin areas and irradietd areas were collected and subjected to mRNA expression analysis.

Project description:Heart failure is among the leading causes of death globally. Ventricular failure progresses through a hypertrophic compensatory phase followed by failure of the ventricle function through rapid decompensation. In order to unravel right heart specific mechanisms of disease, rat animal models were established that (i) reflect the slowly progressive mode of compensation / decompensation and (ii) allow comparative analyses of left versus right heart failure in the same experimental set up. Non-restrictive clips around the pulmonary artery (pulmonary artery banding, PAB) or the aorta (aortic banding, AOB) were surgically implanted into weanling rats. Upon animal growth the clips become increasingly constrictive, leading to a compensatory, hypertrophic state at around 6 weeks and heart failure at 21 (PAB) or 24 weeks (AOB). Disease progression was monitored functionally and by sonography. Differential gene expression analysis was performed for all three treatment groups (sham, AOB, PAB), at both time points (compensation, decompensation) and for both ventricles.

Project description:This study aims to compared the genome-wide Ying Yang-1 (YY1) binding DNA sequences in radiation-induced fibrotic skin and adjacent normal tissues of rats by ChIP-Seq.

Project description:Background: Current mammalian model for heart regeneration research is limited in apex amputation or myocardium infarction, both of which are controversy. Moreover, RNAseq demonstrated there were a very limited set of differential expressed genes between sham and operation heart in the myocardium infarction model. Here we investigated whether pressure overload in the right ventricle(RV), a common phenomenon in congenital heart disease children, could be a better animal model for heart regeneration study when consider cardiomyocyte(CM) proliferation as the most important index. Methods and results: Pressure overload was induced by pulmonary artery banding (PAB) on day1 and confirmed by echocardiography and hemodynamic measurements at postnatal day 7(P7). RNAseq analyses of purified RVCM at P7 from PAB and sham-operated rats revealed there were 5469 differential expressed genes between these two groups. GO and KEGG analysis showed that these genes mainly mediated mitosis and cell division. Cell proliferation assay indicates a continuous over-proliferation of RVCM after PAB, in particular for P3. In addition, there were ~2 times-fold increase of Ki67/Phh3 -positive CM in human overload RV compared to non-overload RV. Other features about this model included CM hypotrophy and no fibrosis.. Conclusions: Pressure overload profoundly promotes RVCM proliferation in the neonatal stage both in rats and human beings, activated a regeneration-specific gene program, and may offer a better alternative animal model for heart regeneration research..

Project description:We found that EGFR expression increased in interstitial myofibroblasts in human and mouse fibrotic kidneys. Selective EGFR deletion in the fibroblast/pericyte population inhibited interstitial fibrosis in response to unilateral ureteral obstruction, ischemia or nephrotoxins. We used single-nucleus RNA sequencing analysis to demonstrate the role of EGFR activation in UUO model.

Project description:Fibrosis is a hallmark of chronic disease. Although fibroblasts are known to be involved, it is unclear to what extent endothelial cells might contribute. We detected increased expression of the transcription factor Sox9 in endothelial cells of fibrotic mouse organs in models of systolic heart failure by pressure overload, diastolic heart failure by high-fat diet and L-Name administration, pulmonary fibrosis after bleomycin treatment, and liver fibrosis as consequence of CDAA diet. We also observed endothelial SOX9 upregulation in human heart tissue in patients with heart failure. To test whether this SOX9 induction was sufficient to cause disease, we generated mice with endothelial cell-specific overexpression of Sox9, which indeed triggered extensive fibrosis in multiple organs and promoted signs of heart failure. Endothelial Sox9 deletion, in turn, prevented fibrosis and organ dysfunction in pre-clinical surgical and pharmacological mouse models of heart failure as well as of lung, and liver injury. Bulk and single cell RNA sequencing of endothelial cells across multiple vascular beds revealed that SOX9 induced extracellular matrix, growth factor, and inflammatory genes leading to matrix deposition by endothelial cells. Moreover, in part through triggering an increased expression of the secreted growth factor Ccn2 as direct SOX9 target, endothelial cells activated neighboring fibroblasts to migrate and deposit matrix in response to SOX9. Endothelial Sox9 deletion reversed these changes, suggesting a role for endothelial SOX9 as fibrosis-promoting transcription factor across organs in response to disease stimuli. Therefore, endothelial cells could be a promising target to counteract fibrotic heart, liver and lung disease

Project description:Fibrotic changes in the myocardium and cardiac arrhythmias represent fatal complications in rheumatic disease systemic sclerosis (SSc), however the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Fos-related antigen-2 (Fosl-2) has been implicated in development of organ fibrosis. Mice overexpressing Fosl-2 (Fosl-2tg) showed interstitial cardiac fibrosis, disorganized connexin43/40 in intercalated discs and deregulated expression of genes controlling conduction system. Fosl-2tg mice developed higher heart rate (HR), prolonged QT intervals, arrhythmias with prevalence of premature ventricular contractions, ventricular tachycardias, II-degree atrio-ventricular blocks and reduced HR variability. Following stimulation with isoproterenol Fosl-2tg mice showed impaired HR response. To assess the role of inflammation in cardiac fibrosis we used Rag2-/-Fosl-2tg mice lacking T/B cells. These mice showed no myocardial fibrosis and ECG abnormalities. Transcriptomics analysis of cardiac Rag-2-/-Fosl-2wt/Rag2-/-Fosl-2tg/Fosl-2tg fibroblasts revealed that systemic inflammation triggered fibrotic and arrhythmogenic alterations while Fosl-2-overexpression mediated profibrotic signature. In human cardiac fibroblasts FOSL-2-overexpression enhanced myofibroblast signature under proinflammatory or profibrotic stimuli. These results demonstrate that under immunofibrotic conditions activator protein 1 transcription factor component Fosl-2 exaggerates myocardial fibrosis, arrhythmias and aberrant response to stress.
