Effect of androgen on aldosterone and high salt induced aortic aneurysms in mice

ABSTRACT: Aortic aneurysm is a highly age- and sex-dependent cardiovascular disease in human, which men are at 4 to 6 times higher risk than women. We recently established an age-dependent animal model in which aldosterone and high salt administration induces aortic aneurysms in 10-month-old wildtype male mice. But whether it exhibits sex differences as in human remains unknown. The current study reports that androgen is a main driver for the sexual dimorphic response to aldosterone and high salt induced aortic aneurysms in mice. To explore the mechanism, aortas were isolated from three groups of mice as described below for transcriptomic profiling.

Angiotensin II induced aneurysms in male ApoE mice

Project description:In this study we used microarrays to examine relative genes expression within the aorta of ApoE-/- infused with angiotensin II in relation to aneurysm formation. Infusion of angiotensin II induces aortic dilatation particularly of the suprarenal aorta in ApoE-/- mice. Based on studies carried out in our and other laboratories the response to angiotensin II is variable, with some mice developing large aneurysms but other animals appearing resistant to aneurysm formation with aortic diameters similar to that of saline controls. We compared RNA expression from whole aortas of 17 week old male ApoE-/- mice exposed to angiotensin II (1.44 Âµg/kg/min) for 4 weeks where there was clear evidence of aortic aneurysm formation (n=5) with that of mice failing to develop aneurysms (n=7) and those exposed to saline infusion (n=6). AAA was defined as diameter of suprarenal aorta greated than 1.5mm measured on photographs of aortas at necroscopy.

XY female mice develop severe abdominal aortic aneurysms

Project description:Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are a prevalent and deadly human pathology with strong sexual dimorphism. Research demonstrates that sex hormones influence, but do not fully explain, male versus female AAA pathology. In addition to sex hormones, the X and Y sex chromosomes, and their unique complements of genes, may contribute to sexually dimorphic AAA pathology. Here, for the first time, we defined the effect of female (XX) versus male (XY) chromosome complement on AAA formation and rupture in phenotypically female mice using an established murine model. Abdominal aortas from female mice bearing the XY chromosome selectively expressed Y chromosome genes, while genes known to escape X-inactivation were higher in XX females. The majority of gene differences in XY females fell within inflammatory pathways. When XY females were infused with AngII, AAA incidences doubled and aneurysms ruptured. AAAs from XY females exhibited significant inflammation. Moreover, infusion of AngII to XY females augmented aortic activity of matrix metalloproteinases. Finally, testosterone exposure applied chronically, or as a single bolus at postnatal day 1, markedly worsened AAA outcomes in XY compared to XX females. These results demonstrate that an XY sex chromosome complement profoundly influences aortic gene expression profiles and promotes AAA severity.

Mouse and human abdominal aneurysm proteomics

Project description:Aortic tissues of developing and established aneurysms produced by angiotensin II (AngII) infusion were examined in Apoe-/- and Ldlr-/- mice. Aortas were also acquired from wildtype C57BL/6J mice following intraluminal elastase incubation. Aortas were dissected free and separated into eight anatomical segments for proteomics in comparison to their appropriate controls. In addition, proteomics was performed on human infrarenal aortic aneurysm tissues as well as aortic tissue collected from age-matched controls.

Sex chromosome complement defines diffuse versus focal angiotensin II-induced aortic pathology

Project description:Objective-Aortic pathologies exhibit sexual dimorphism, with aneurysms in the ascending, thoracic and abdominal aorta (AAA) exhibiting higher prevalence in males. Despite lower incidence of aortic vascular disease in women, aneurysms progress rapidly. Mechanisms for these sex differences are unclear. We defined the role of sex chromosome complement and testosterone in regional development and progression of angiotensin II (AngII)-induced vascular pathologies. Approach and Results-We used transgenic male mice expressing Sry on an autosome to create low density lipoprotein receptor (Ldlr) deficient male mice with an XY or XX sex chromosome complement. Subjects were then sham operated or orcheictomized. Transcriptional profiling on abdominal aortas from XY or XX males demonstrated1746 genes influenced by sex chromosomes, sex hormones, or an interaction. A second cohort of animals was then infused with AngII for 28 days. Diffuse aortic aneurysm pathology developed in XY AngII-infused males, while XX males developed discrete AAAs. Castration reduced all AngII-induced aortic pathologies in XY and XX males. Thoracic aortas from AngII-infused XY males, but not XX males exhibited adventitial thickening. We infused male XY and XX mice with saline or AngII and quantified mRNA abundance of key genes in thoracic versus abdominal aortas. Regional differences in mRNA abundance existed before AngII infusions, which were differentially influenced by AngII between genotypes. Prolonged AngII infusions resulted in AAA aortic wall thickening in XY males with diffuse aortic pathology, while XX males had dilated focal AAAs. Conclusions-An XY sex chromosome complement mediates diffuse aortic pathology, while an XX sex chromosome complement contributes to discrete AngII-induced AAAs.

Aldosterone-Regulated Expression Data in Mouse Aorta

Project description:The steroid hormone aldosterone plays a role in vascular function and disease. Aldosterone activates the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), a ligand-activated transcription factor. MR have been found to be expressed in vascular cells and vessels. We used microarrays to identify the global programme of gene expression changes in mouse aortas treated with vehicle (DMSO) or aldosterone. Wild type C57Bl6 male mice were treated with spironolactone (20 mg/kg/day, an MR antagonist) for 5 days by Sub-cutaneous pellet to suppress basal MR-mediated gene expression. Aortas were then harvested and treated ex vivo in organ culture with vehicle or 100 nM aldosterone for 2, 4, or 8 hours. Three aortas were pooled for each timepoint and treatment, and three pooled biological replicates were performed.

Gene Array Data from p0 Mouse pup; ascending and descending aortas; fibulin-4 knockout and control

Project description:Fibulin-4 plays an essential role in elastic fiber formation, though it's exact function is unclear. Mice lacking the fibulin-4 gene develop cutis laxa with thoracic aortic aneurysms and have narrowed descending aortic diamaters, dying shortly after birth. Another model that disrupt elastic fiber formation, elastin gene knockeds, are also perinatally lethal and have narrowed descending aortas but do not develop thoracic aneurysms. We hypothesized that there may be altered gene expression to explain the altered anatomy based on aortic tissue location we observed, which may provide therapeutic target(s) Ascending and descending aortas of p0 mouse pups were dissected, pooled in groups of eight, and homogenized to isolate RNA and we used microarrays on the pooled samples to identify genes that had expression significantly changed.
