Transcriptome Analysis Reviewed a Two-step Transformation of VSMCs to Macrophage-like Cells

ABSTRACT: We report the transcriptome profiles of rat vascular smooth muscle cells (rVSMCs) treated by cholesterol loading or NOTCH inhibitor DAPT through RNA-Seq. rVSMCs were resistant to cholesterol loading alone that only promoted limited inflammatory responses. DAPT treatment alone also resulted in limited gene expression changes related with VSMC differentiations. Interestingly, cholesterol loading supplemented with DAPT resulted in significant changes of gene expression in rVSMCs and promoted VSMC-to-macrophage-like cell transformations.

Phenotype modulation of VSMCs on patterned substrate

Project description:Loss of contractility and acquisition of an epithelial phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are key events in proliferative vascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis and post-angioplastic restenosis. There is no proper cell culture system allowing VSMC differentiation so that it is difficult to delineate the molecular mechanism responsible for proliferative vasculopathy. We investigated whether a micro-patterned substrate could restore the contractile phenotype of VSMCs in vitro. To induce and maintain the differentiated VSMC phenotype in vitro, we introduced a micro-patterned groove substrate to modulate the morphology and function of VSMCs.

Mice VSMCs: Control vs. TNF-α cultured

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse VSMCs comparing control with VSMCs cultured with TNF-α Apoptosis of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a process that regulates vessel remodeling in various cardiovascular diseases. The specific mechanisms that control VSMC apoptosis remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate whether microRNA-494 (miR-494) is involved in regulating VSMC apoptosis and its underlying mechanisms. Cell death ELISA and terminal deoxynucleotidyl-transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling assays were used to detect apoptosis of murine VSMCs following stimulation with tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α). The results indicated that TNF-α-upregulated VSMC apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Microarray analysis was used to evaluate the expression profile of microRNAs following TNF-α-stimulation in murine VSMCs. The expression of miR-494 was downregulated, whereas B-cell lymphoma 2-like 11 (BCL2L11) protein expression levels were upregulated in VSMCs following treatment with TNF- . Luciferase reporter assays confirmed that BCL2L11 was a direct target of miR-494. Transfection with miR-494 mimics decreased VSMC apoptosis and downregulated BCL2L11 protein levels. Conversely, transfection with miR-494 inhibitors increased cell apoptosis and upregulated BCL2L11 protein levels, suggesting that miR-494 may function as an essential regulator of BCL2L11. The increase in apoptosis caused by miR-494 inhibitors was abolished in cells co-transfected with BCL2L11-targeting small interfering RNA. The findings of the present study revealed that miR-494 inhibited TNF-α-induced VSMC apoptosis by downregulating the expression of BCL2L11.

MT1-MMP (MMP14)-dependent gene expression in APOE-null vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)

Project description:VSMC-specific MT1-MMP gene targeting in APOE-null mice promotes atherosclerosis and iliac artery aneurysm formation. To determine the MT1-MMP-dependent regulation of VSMC function, whole-genome transcriptomes of wild-type and MT1-MMP-null APOE-null VSMCs were determined. We used microarray-based transcriptome analysis to detect MT1-MMP-dependent regulation of VSMC function under atherogenic conditions.

Transcription profiling of mouse aorta and vSMCs response to dioxin

Project description:We compared the global gene expression profiles of C57BL/6 mice aortas with the profiles of cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMC) from the same mice, and determined whether gene responses to dioxin exposure in the vSMCs would be predictive of responses in the aorta.

Transcriptomics provides novel insights into the regulatory mechanism of lncRNA HIF1A-AS1 on VSMCs

Project description:In current study, using a lentivirus-based expression system, we observed that overexpressing HIF1A-AS1 successfully promoted apoptosis, significantly altered cell cycle distribution and greatly facilitated migration in VSMCs, further highlighting the robust promoting effects of HIF1A-AS1 to TAA. Moreover, transcriptomics was implemented to uncover its underlying mechanism. A total of 175 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, with some of them enriched in apoptosis, migration and cell cycle related pathways. Intriguingly, some DEGs were annotated in vascular development or coagulation function pathways. In view of this, we suggested HIF1A-AS1 mediated the progression of TAA by not only regulating the function of VSMC cells, but also altering vascular development or coagulation function. Lastly, RT-qPCR confirmed the veracity and reliability of RNA-sequencing results.

Gene expression profiling of miR-128 overexpression in Primary Mouse Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (VSMCs)

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that modulate gene expression by negatively regulating translation of target genes. miRNAs involvement in vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) biology has been deeply investigated, nevertheless the role of miR-128 in such context has not been yet explored. We aimed to evaluate whether this miR-128 might modulate VSMC phenotype similarly to what was previously observed for other type of contractile cells, such as cardiomyocytes (CM) and skeletal muscle cells. To this end, we compared the expression profiles of miR-128 overexpression in Primary mouse VSMCs and control groups (treated with scrambled miRNA). The expression profiles were defined by Illumina arrays.

Molecular mechanisms vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) acquisition of macrophage features in response to cholesterol loading

Project description:In this study, murine primary aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) were transcriptionally profiled at baseline, after 3 d of cholesterol loading, and after 3 d of subsequent cholesterol unloading with HDL treatment, to identify vascular SMC genes that are transcripionally dysregulated in response to cholesterol loading and/or unloading.

Ectoderm specification of H1 human embryonic stem cells

Project description:In recent years, several studies have shed light into the processes that regulate epidermal specification and homeostasis. We previously showed that a broad-spectrum γ–secretase inhibitor DAPT promoted early keratinocyte specification in human embryonic stem cells triggered to undergo ectoderm specification. Here, we show that DAPT accelerates human embryonic stem cell differentiation and induces expression of the ectoderm protein AP2. Furthermore, we utilize RNA sequencing to identify several candidate regulators of ectoderm specification including those involved in epithelial and epidermal development in human embryonic stem cells. Genes associated with transcriptional regulation and growth factor activity are significantly enriched upon DAPT treatment during specification of human embryonic stem cells to the ectoderm lineage. The human ectoderm cell signature identified in this study contains several genes expressed in ectodermal and epithelial tissues. Importantly, these genes are also associated with skin disorders and ectodermal defects, providing a platform for understanding the biology of human epidermal keratinocyte development under diseased and homeostatic conditions. 6 samples were analyzed, 3 replicates of ETOH treated H1 HESCs and 3 replicates of DAPT treated H1 HESCs
