Olfr2 deficiency protects from abdominal aortic aneurysm

ABSTRACT: Olfactory receptor 2 is a G-protein coupled receptor expressed on vascular macrophages. Activation by its ligand octanal in conjuction with a toll like receptor 4 stimulus induces the NLRP3 inflammasome with subsequent IL-1alpha and IL-1beta release. In this study we aim to investigate the effects of genetic Olfr2 deficiency on the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

Project description:Background: Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is a key regulator of vascular dysfunction. Impairment of PVAT phenotypic plasticity with aging may play a role in vascular pathology including abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Yet, the mechanisms underlying PVAT plasticity in aneurysm pathogenesis remain elusive. Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was performed on perivascular stromal cells (PVSCs) from young (2-3-month-old) and aged (18-20-month-old) mice. The expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) was measured in PVAT of aged mice and human aneurysm samples. Loss- and gain-of-function approaches were employed to investigate the role of SM22α-lineage PVSCs-derived PGC-1α in aneurysm development. Molecular mechanisms were explored through transcriptome and functional studies in young and aged mice, SM22αCre; Rosa26RFP/+; PGC1αf/f and SM22αCre; Rosa26RFP/+ mice with angiotensin II (AngII)- and DOCA/salt- induced AAA models. Results: SM22α+ cells accumulated in PVAT of angiotensin II-treated aged mice and patients with aortic aneurysms. scRNA-seq analysis revealed that aging disrupted the differentiation potential of SM22α-lineage PVSCs and led to reduced PGC-1α level. PGC1α downregulation in PVAT was observed in both mice AAA models and human aneurysm lesions. In mice with SM22α-driven PGC-1α-deletion AngII induced AAA formation was accompanied by PVSC-to-myofibroblast differentiation. in vitro PGC1α-knockdown suppressed nuclear YAP signaling, reducing adipocyte differentiation, while increasing MMP2-secreting myofibroblasts. Furthermore, PGC-1α overexpression in aged mice or administration of the YAP signaling inhibitor Verteporfin in SM22αCre; Rosa26RFP/+; PGC1αf/f mice restored PVAT function and conferred protection against aneurysm formation. Lastly, we employed the radiomics analysis to non-invasively evaluate PVAT in the context of AAA severity in humans. Conclusions: PGC-1α deficiency in SM22α-lineage stromal cells disrupts the balance between adipogenic and myofibrogenic differentiation through regulating the YAP signaling, ultimately promoting aneurysm development. Radiomics assessment may present a promising noninvasive approach for PVAT evaluation in aneurysms, offering valuable potential for clinical research.
