An intersegmental single-cell profile reveals aortic heterogeneity [aorta]

ABSTRACT: The continuous inter-segmental aortic profile has been rarely reported at the single-cell level. To reveal aortic heterogeneity, we identified 15 cell subtypes from five continuous aortic segments by marker genes and functional definitions. In conclusion, our study provides a more comprehensive segmental single-cell transcriptome of the aorta at the physiological level, inspiring new ideas for diagnosis and intervention targets in the pathogenesis of aortic diseases. Furthermore, a novel construction system of VSMCs was proposed to replace the traditional classification.

Aortic Cellular Diversity and Quantitative GWAS Trait Prioritization through Single Nuclear RNA Sequencing (snRNA-Seq) of the Aneurysmal Human Aorta

Project description:In current models of ascending aortic disease, mural cells undergo phenotypic changes that promote extracellular matrix destruction and structural weakening. To explore the intersection of this biology with quantitative trait GWAS loci we analyzed the genetic features of thoracic aortic aneurysm tissue. Single nuclear RNA sequencing was performed on 13 samples from human donors, 6 with thoracic aortic aneurysm and 7 without aneurysm. Individual transcriptomes were then clustered based on transcriptional profiles. Clusters were used for between-disease differential gene expression analyses, subcluster analysis, and analyzed for intersection with genetic aortic trait data. In total, we sequenced 71,689 nuclei from human thoracic aortas without aneurysm, and with sporadic aneurysm. We identified 14 clusters, aligning with 11 cell types, predominantly VSMCs, consistent with existing histologic data, but contrary to the majority of human aortic single cell studies to-date. With unbiased methodology, we found 7 VSMC and 6 fibroblast subclusters. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) analysis revealed a VSMC group accounting for the majority of differential gene expression. Fibroblast populations in aneurysm exhibit distinct behavior with almost complete disappearance of quiescent fibroblasts. DEGs were used to prioritize genes at aortic diameter and distensibility GWAS loci highlighting the genes JUN, LTBP4, and IL34 in fibroblasts, ENTPD1, PDLIM5, ACTN4, and GLRX in VSMCs, as well as LRP1 in macrophage populations. In conclusion, using nuclear RNA sequencing we describe the cellular diversity of healthy and aneurysmal human ascending aorta. Sporadic aortic aneurysm is characterized by differential gene expression within known cellular classes rather than by the appearance of novel cellular forms. Single nuclear RNA sequencing of aortic tissue can be used to prioritize genes at aortic trait loci.

Thrombospondin-1: A Pro-Atherosclerotic Protein Augmented by Hyperglycemia

Project description:Diabetes is associated with a more aggressive form of atherosclerosis. Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), an extracellular matrix protein, is an acute phase reactant that induces vascular smooth muscle (VSMC) migration and proliferation in areas of vascular injury, and is also upregulated in VSMCs exposed to hyperglycemia. We hypothesized that hyperglycemia amplifies the expression of genes induced by TSP-1 in VSMCs. Human aortic VSMCs were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10 % FBS and 1% antibiotics, cells were used between passages three and five. VSMCs were preincubated in DMEM containing 0.2% FBS with 5 mM glucose (normoglycemia), 25 mM glucose (hyperglycemia), 25 mM mannose (osmotic control), TSP-1 (20µg/mL), 25 mM glucose + TSP-1 (20µg/mL) or 25 mM mannose + TSP-1 (20µg/mL). Data analysis revealed that TSP-1 stimulates gene expression relevant to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and diabetic vascular disease. Total RNA was extracted from replicate cultures of human aortic VSMCs and microarray analysis performed for a total of 18 samples (3 replicates per condition) using the Human Gene Array ST.

Single-cell RNA-seq Reveals Unique Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypes in Culture

Project description:Background. Heterogeneity in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) has been classically defined with a small set of predefined markers. Single cell genomics provides a unique unbiased approach to evaluate VSMC phenotypes. Objectives. The goal of this study was to define the heterogeneity of primary murine VSMCs grown in culture. VSMCs grown in culture are routinely used as a model of VSMCs in the vessel wall. We wanted to better understand the assumptions of this model. RNA sequencing was performed on single aortic VSMCs from 3-4 month old male mice at passages 1 and 2 (P1 and P2). Single cell contractility measurements were performed using Traction Force microscopy.

Mining the stiffness-sensitive transcriptome in human vascular smooth muscle cells identifies long non-coding RNA stiffness regulators

Project description:Vascular extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffening is a risk factor for aortic and coronary artery disease. How matrix stiffening regulates the transcriptome profile of human aortic (Ao) and coronary (Co) vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is not well understood. Furthermore, the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the cellular response to stiffening has never been explored. This study characterizes the stiffness-sensitive transcriptome of human Ao and Co VSMCs and identify potentially key lncRNA regulators of stiffness-dependent VSMC functions. Ao and Co VSMCs were cultured on hydrogel substrates mimicking physiologic and pathologic ECM stiffness. Total RNA-seq was performed to compare the stiffness-sensitive transcriptome profiles of Ao and Co VSMCs.

Interleukin-11 signaling drives vascular smooth muscle phenotypic switching and contributes to aortic remodelling

Project description:RNA sequencing of primary human aortic or arterial VSMCs after stimulation with transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFβ1) revealed marked IL11 upregulation. In vitro, IL11 stimulation of VSMCs resulted in phenotypic switching by increased ECM production and migration/invasion. Neutralizing IL11 antibody treatment abolished phenotypic switching in VSMCs. IL11 plays an important and non-redundant role in VSMC phenotypic switching.
