Resolvin E1/ChemR23 Protects Against Hypertension and Vascular Remodeling in Angiotensin II-Induced Hypertensive Mice

ABSTRACT: Inflammation plays a critical role in the development of hypertension and vascular remodeling. Resolvin E1 (RvE1), as one of the specialized proresolving lipid mediators, promotes inflammation resolution by binding with a G protein-coupled receptor, ChemR23 (chemerin receptor 23). However, whether RvE1/ChemR23 regulates hypertension and vascular remodeling is unknown. Aortic ChemR23 expression was increased in Ang II-induced hypertensive mice and that ChemR23 was mainly expressed on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). RvE1 lowered blood pressure, reduced aortic media thickness, attenuated aortic fibrosis, and mitigated VSMC phenotypic transformation and proliferation in hypertensive mice, which were all reversed by the knockdown of ChemR23. Moreover, RvE1 reduced the aortic infiltration of macrophages and T cells, which was also reversed by ChemR23 knockdown. RvE1 inhibited Ccl5 expression in VSMCs via the AMPKα (AMP-activated protein kinase α)/Nrf2 (nuclear factor E2-related factor 2)/canonical NF-κB (nuclear factor κB) pathway, thereby reducing the infiltration of macrophages and T cells. The AMPKα/Nrf2 pathway also mediated the effects of RvE1 on VSMC phenotypic transformation and proliferation. In patients with hypertension, the serum levels of RvE1 and other eicosapentaenoic acid-derived metabolites were significantly decreased

JOSD2 inhibits angiotensin II-induced vascular remodeling by deubiquitinating and stabilizing SMAD7

Project description:Increased level of angiotensin II (Ang II) plays a central role in the development of hypertensive vascular remodeling. Here, we identify the deubiquitinating enzyme JOSD2 as a protective factor and investigate its molecular mechanism in Ang II-induced vascular remodeling. Firstly, we found that JOSD2 was up-regulated in aortic smooth muscle cells but not endothelial cells of Ang II-challenged mouse vascular tissues. Whole-body knockout of JOSD2 significantly deteriorated Ang II-induced vascular remodeling in mice. Conversely, Ang II-induced vascular remodeling was reversed by VSMC-specific JOSD2 overexpression. In vitro, JOSD2 deficiency aggravated the fibrosis, proliferation, and migration induced by Ang II in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), while these changes were reversed by JOSD2 overexpression. RNA-seq analysis showed that the protective effects of JOSD2 in VSMCs were related to TGFβ-SMAD pathway. Furthermore, the LC-MS/MS analysis identified SMAD7, a negative regulator in TGFβ-SMAD pathway, as the substrate of JOSD2. JOSD2 specifically bound to the MH1 domain of SMAD7 to removed K48-linked Ub chains of SMAD7 at lysine 220 to sustain SMAD7 stability. Taken together, our finding reveals that JOSD2-SMAD7 axis is critical for relieving Ang II-induced vascular remodeling and JOSD2 maybe a novel and potential therapeutic target for hypertensive vascular remodeling.

Sirtuin 6 mitigates thoracic aortic aneurysm progression via maintenance of mitochondria homeostasis in vascular smooth muscle cells

Project description:Aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening disease without effective pharmacological treatments. The progressive loss of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is the fundamental pathophysiological basis for AAD, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), a class III histone deacetylase, is critical for maintenance of VSMC homeostasis and consequent prevention of vascular remodeling-related diseases. However, its role in AAD development requires further investigation. Here, we show that SIRT6 expression was significantly reduced in VSMCs of the thoracic aorta in AAD patients. Sirt6 deficiency in VSMCs dramatically accelerated angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) infusion-induced AAD formation and rupture even without an Apoe-deficient background. In vitro studies demonstrated that Sirt6 deficiency led to mitochondrial dysfunction and accelerated VSMC senescence. Mechanistically, SIRT6 could bind and deacetylate NRF2, a key transcription factor for mitochondrial biogenesis, however, Sirt6 deficiency inhibited NRF2 and reduced mRNAs encoding mitochondrial complex. Notably, MDL-811, a newly developed small-molecule SIRT6 agonist, effectively reversed Ang Ⅱ-induced mitochondrial dysfunctions in human aortic smooth muscle cells. More importantly, MDL-811 also mitigated AAD progression in mice. These findings suggest that SIRT6 plays a protective role in AAD development and targeting SIRT6 with small-molecule activators such as MDL-811 could represent a promising therapeutic strategy for AAD.

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.

Mouse VSMC LC-MSMS - Functional and Proteomic Investigations Reveal Major Royal Jelly Protein 1 Associated with Anti-hypertension Activity in Mouse Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

Project description:Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are a major cell type of the arterial wall and their functionality is associated with blood pressure regulation. Although royal jelly (RJ) has reported effects on anti-hypertension, the mechanism of blood pressure regulation by major royal jelly protein 1 (MRJP1), the most abundant RJ protein, is still unknown. Therefore, mrjp1 gene was delivered into mouse VSMCs to investigate how MRJP1 influences the VSMC functionality by functional and proteomic analysis.The data here are the proteomic analysis of triplicated control and MRJP1 expressing VSMCs.

Thymosin 4 protects against aortic aneurysm via endocytic regulation of growth factor signalling

Project description:Vascular stability and tone are maintained by contractile smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, injury-induced growth factors stimulate a contractile-synthetic phenotypic modulation which increases susceptibility to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). As a regulator of embryonic VSMC differentiation, we hypothesised that Thymosin β4 (Tβ4) may function to maintain healthy vasculature throughout postnatal life. This was supported by the identification of an interaction with Low density lipoprotein receptor related protein 1 (LRP1), an endocytic regulator of PDGF-BB signalling and VSMC proliferation. LRP1 variants have been implicated by genome-wide association studies with risk of AAA and other arterial diseases. T4-null mice displayed aortic VSMC and elastin defects, phenocopying LRP1 mutants, and their compromised vascular integrity predisposed to Angiotensin II-induced aneurysm formation. Aneurysmal vessels were characterised by enhanced VSMC phenotypic modulation and augmented platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor (PDGFR)β signalling. In vitro, enhanced sensitivity to PDGF-BB, upon loss of Tβ4, associated with dysregulated endocytosis, with increased recycling and reduced lysosomal targeting of LRP1-PDGFRβ. Accordingly, the exacerbated aneurysmal phenotype in T4-null mice was rescued upon treatment with the PDGFRβ antagonist, Imatinib. Our study identifies Tβ4 as a key regulator of LRP1 for maintaining vascular health and provides insights into the mechanisms of growth factor-controlled VSMC phenotypic modulation underlying aortic disease progression.

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.

Single-cell RNA sequencing of medial vascular smooth muscle cells of normal aorta from healthy mouse

Project description:Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) subpopulations relevant to vascular disease and injury repair have been depicted in healthy vessels and atherosclerosis profiles. However, whether VSMC subpopulation associated with vascular homeostasis exists in the healthy artery and how are their nature and fate in vascular remodeling remains elusive. Here, using single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) to detect VSMC functional heterogeneity in an unbiased manner, we showed that VSMC subpopulations in healthy artery presented transcriptome diversity and that there was significant heterogeneity in differentiation state and development within each subpopulation. Notably, we detected an independent subpopulation of VSMCs that highly expressed regulator of G protein signaling 5 (Rgs5), upregulated the genes associated with inhibition of cell proliferation and construction of cytoskeleton compared with the general subpopulation, and mainly enriched in descending aorta. Additionally, the proportion of Rgs5+ VSMCs was markedly decreased or almost disappeared in the vascular tissues of neointimal formation, abdominal aortic aneurysm and atherosclerosis. Specific spatiotemporal characterization of Rgs5+ VSMC subpopulation suggested that this subpopulation was implicated in vascular homeostasis. Together, our analyses identify homeostasis-relevant transcriptional signatures of VSMC subpopulations in healthy artery, which may explain the regional vascular resistance to atherosclerosis at some extent.

UHRF1-mediated epigenetic regulation of smooth muscle cell modulates development of vascular pathologies

Project description:Adult vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) dedifferentiate in response to extracellular cues such as vascular damage and inflammation. Dedifferentiated VSMCs are proliferative, migratory, less contractile, and can contribute to vascular repair as well as to cardiovascular pathologies such as intimal hyperplasia/restenosis in coronary artery and arterial aneurysm. We here demonstrate the role of ubiquitin-like containing PHD and RING finger domains 1 (UHRF1) as an epigenetic master regulator of VSMC plasticity. UHRF1 expression correlated with the development of vascular pathologies associated with modulation of noncoding RNAs, such as microRNAs. miR-145 — pivotal in regulating VSMC plasticity, which is reduced in vascular diseases — was found to control Uhrf1 mRNA translation. In turn, UHRF1 triggered VSMC proliferation, directly repressing promoters of cell-cycle inhibitor genes (including p21 and p27) and key prodifferentiation genes via the methylation of DNA and histones. Local vascular viral delivery of Uhrf1 shRNAs or Uhrf1 VSMC-specific deletion prevented intimal hyperplasia in mouse carotid artery and decreased vessel damage in a mouse model of aortic aneurysm. Our study demonstrates the fundamental role of Uhrf1 in regulating VSMC phenotype by promoting proliferation and dedifferentiation. UHRF1 targeting may hold therapeutic potential in vascular pathologies.
