Project description:Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) promote inflammation and atherosclerosis progression. In diabetes they are increased and impair wound healing, during which inflammation normally resolves. Atherosclerosis regression, a process resembling wound healing, is also impaired in diabetes. Thus, we hypothesized that NETs impede atherosclerosis regression in diabetes through unresolved inflammation. Objective: To investigate in diabetes the effect of NETs on plaque macrophage inflammation and whether NETs reduction improves atherosclerosis regression. Findings: Transcriptomic profiling of plaque macrophages from NET positive and negative areas in Ldlr-/- mice revealed inflammasome and glycolysis pathway upregulation, indicating a pro-inflammatory phenotype. During atherosclerosis regression in non-diabetic mice, plaque NET content decreased. In contrast, in diabetic mouse plaques NETs were enriched and persisted after lipid-lowering. DNase1 treatment (to degrade NETs) of diabetic mice reduced plaque NETs and macrophage inflammation and improved atherosclerosis regression after lipid-lowering. Conclusions: NETs decline during atherosclerosis regression in non-diabetic mice, but persist in diabetes and impair regression by exacerbating macrophage inflammation. DNase1 reduced diabetic plaque NETs and macrophage inflammation, and restored atherosclerosis resolution after lipid-lowering, despite ongoing hyperglycemia. Given that humans with diabetes also exhibit impaired atherosclerosis resolution with lipid-lowering, these data suggest that NETs contribute to the increased CVD risk in this population.

Project description:Atherosclerosis is the leading underlying cause of death worldwide. We reported a mouse model of atherosclerosis regression that involves transplanting an atherosclerotic aortic arch into a normolipidemic mouse. There, emigration of plaque foam cells occurred in a CCR7 (dendritic cell migration factor) dependent manner. It was obvious, though, that other pathways are likely to be involved in this process. We therefore performed microarrays on laser captured macrophages isolated from the progression and regression environments. This yielded two major findings. Firstly, genes associated with the contractile apparatus (such as actin and myosin) that are responsible for cellular movement were differentially up-regulated under regression conditions with members of the cadherin family (serves in adhesion functions) being significantly down-regulated. Secondly, the most highly up-regulated gene under regression was arginase I, a classical marker of the M2 alternative activated macrophage. Further examination revealed that regression was characterized by macrophages displaying other M2 markers such as CD163, C-lectin receptor, mannose receptor, and Fizz-1. In addition, we applied recently introduced local causal pathway discovery methods to our microarray data that revealed that genes such as vinculin and ApoCII may play a role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis regression. Ultimately, the insights gained from the regression model and the different modes of analyses should lead to new therapeutic targets against cardiovascular disease. We performed microarrays on laser captured macrophages isolated from aortic arch from mouse in atherosclerosis progression and regression environments (C57Bl/6, ApoE -/-). Study was performed in two batches, with three treatment groups each: progression, regression and baseline. Profiled in the Merck/Agilent 3.0

Project description:Background: Somatic mutations in blood indicative of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP), particularly in DNMT3A, TET2, and JAK2, are associated with an increased risk of hematologic malignancy, coronary artery disease, and all-cause mortality. However, whether CHIP is associated with increased risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) remains unknown. In addition, chemotherapy frequently causes mutations in DNA Damage Repair (DDR) genes TP53 and PPM1D, and whether CHIP caused by somatic mutations in DDR genes results in increased risk of atherosclerosis is unclear. We sought to test whether CHIP, and CHIP caused by DDR genes, associates with incident peripheral artery disease (PAD) and atherosclerosis. Methods: We identified CHIP among 50,122 exome sequences in individuals from UK and Mass General Brigham Biobanks and tested CHIP status (N=2,851) with incident PAD and atherosclerosis across multiple arterial beds. To mimic the human scenario of clonal hematopoiesis and test whether the expansion of p53-deficient hematopoietic cells contributes to atherosclerosis, a competitive bone marrow transplantation (BMT) strategy was used to generate atherosclerosis-prone Ldlr-/- chimeric mice carrying 20% Trp53-/- hematopoietic cells (20% KO-BMT mice). We then evaluated aortic plaque burden and plaque macrophage accumulation 12 weeks after grafting. Results: CHIP associated with incident PAD (HR 1.7; P=2.2x10-5) and atherosclerosis in multiple beds (HR 1.3; P=9.7x10-5), with increased risk among individuals with DDR CHIP (HR 2.0; P=0.0084). Among atherosclerosis-prone Ldlr null mice, the p53 -/- 20% KO-BMT mice demonstrated increased aortic plaque size (p=0.013) and accumulation of p53-/- plaque macrophages (P<0.001), driven by an abundance of p53-deficient plaque macrophages. The expansion of p53-deficient cells did not affect the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β in the atherosclerotic aortic wall. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the role of CHIP as a broad driver of atherosclerosis across the entire arterial system, with evidence of increased plaque among p53 -/- 20% KO-BMT mice via expansion of plaque macrophages. These observations provide new insight into the link between CHIP and cardiovascular disease, and lend human genetic support to the concept that post-cytotoxic chemotherapy patients may benefit from surveillance for atherosclerotic conditions in addition to therapy-related myeloid neoplasms.

Project description:The goal of this study is to determine whether PRMT2 plays a causal role in the impairment of atherosclerosis regression in diabetes. We examined the consequence of deleting PRMT2 in myeloid cells during the regression of atherosclerosis in normal and diabetic mice. We found significant impairment of atherosclerosis regression under normoglycemic conditions in mice lacking PRMT2 (Prmt2-/-) in myeloid cells that mimic the decrease in regression of atherosclerosis in WT mice under diabetic conditions. This was associated with increased plaque macrophage retention. PRMT2-deficient plaque CD68+ cells under normoglycemic conditions showed increased expression of genes involved in cytokine signaling and inflammation compared to WT cells by RNA seq. Thus, the loss of PRMT2 is causally linked to impaired atherosclerosis regression.

Project description:In atherosclerosis, macrophage accumulation is directly linked to destabilization and rupture of plaque, causing acute atherothrombotic events. Circulating monocytes enter the plaque and differentiate into macrophages, where they are activated by CD4+ T-lymphocytes through CD40-CD40 ligand signaling. Here we show that interruption of this signaling pathway in monocyte / macrophage exerts rapid anti-inflammatory effects in an Apoe-/- mouse model of atherosclerosis. For this purpose we developed an infusible recombinant high-density lipoprotein nanoparticle carrying small molecule inhibitor of the interaction of CD40s and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6. We show monocyte / macrophage specific targeting of our nanoimmunotherapy, which impairs their migratory capacity. Rapid induction of plaque inflammation by this therapy represents a novel strategy in the treatment of atherosclerosis, with high potential for clinical translation, as illustrated by the favorable toxicity profile in non-human primates.

Project description:Regression of atherosclerosis is an important clinical goal, however the pathways that mediate the resolution of atherosclerotic inflammation and reversal of plaques are poorly understood. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been shown to be atheroprotective, however numbers of these immunosuppressive cells decrease with disease progression. Using multiple independent mouse models of atherosclerosis regression, we demonstrate that an increase in plaque Tregs is a common signature of regressing plaques. To test if Tregs are required for the resolution of atherosclerotic inflammation and plaque regression during lipid-lowering therapy, we combined CD25 monoclonal antibody (PC61 mAb)-mediated Treg depletion with single-cell RNA-sequencing of immune cells in the plaque and conventional analyses of atherosclerosis. Single cell RNA-sequencing revealed that Tregs from aortic plaques shared some similarity with splenic Tregs, but were distinct from skin and colon Tregs supporting recent findings of tissue-dependent Treg heterogeneity. Furthermore, Tregs from progressing plaques expressed markers of natural Tregs derived from the thymus, whereas Tregs in regressing plaques lacked Nrp1 and Helios expression, suggesting that they are induced in the periphery during lipid lowering. Treatment of atherosclerotic mice with PC61 mAb effectively depleted Tregs in the blood and peripheral tissues, including plaques, and blocked the regression of atherosclerosis induced by apoB anti-sense oligonucleotides. Morphometric analyses revealed that control antibody-treated mice showed a 40% decrease in plaque burden and macrophage content under regression conditions, whereas PC61 mAb-treated mice showed no change in plaque size or inflammatory cell content compared to baseline. Moreover, Treg depletion enhanced inflammatory signaling and blocked tissue reparative functions of macrophages in the regressing plaque, including M2-polarization, efferocytosis and sensing of specialized pro-resolving lipid mediators. Together, these data establish essential roles for Tregs in the resolution of atherosclerotic inflammation and plaque remodeling during regression.

Project description:Smooth muscle cells (SMC) play significant roles in atherosclerosis via phenotypic switching, a pathological process in which SMC transdifferentiation into macrophage-like SMCs. Furthermore, during transdifferentiation, the SMCs' expression of PADI4 upregulating and SMC generated extracellular trap, a web-like structure, which plays key role in the development of atherosclerosis plaque. To reveal the potential mechanism of the SMC derived macrophages generated ETs surducing surrounding SMCs within the media of artery during the process of atherosclerosis plaque development, we utilized the dsDNA and H3CIT protein to stimuli the SMCs, the SMC stimulated with 0.2%BSA as coontrol group, we collect the cells and did RNA-sequencing between two groups to find the potential signaling pathway participating in the process
