Project description:Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are derived from distinct embryonic origins. Vessels originating from differing smooth muscle cell populations have distinct vascular and pathological properties of calcification, atherosclerosis, and structural defects such as aneurysm and coarctation. We hypothesized that domains within a vessel vary in phenotype based on embryonic origin. We used microarrays to detail the expression differences in vasculature of different embryonic origin. Mouse tissues were selected from different vascular compartments for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to identify embryonic origin-specific expression profiles.

Project description:Vascular calcification is a hallmark of atherosclerosis and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, the molecular mechanism of vascular calcification is poorly understood. Diabetes mellitus is increasingly recognized as the most important cause for atherosclerosis and ESRD. Emerging evidence supports the concept that vascular calcification resembles the process of osteogenesis, in which the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) undergo osteochondrogenic differentiation. Recently, we have established an in vitro calcification system with primary mouse VSMC. With the use of osteogenic stimuli, we induced trans-differentiation of primary mouse VSMC into bone-like cells. Interestingly stroptozotocin (STZ), O-GlcNAcase inhibitor and a drug that has been used to induce diabetes in mice, was able to induce calcification of VSMC and the expression of the osteogenic transcription factor Runx2, suggesting glycosylation may be involved in regulation of Runx2. We have reported an essential role of Runx2 in oxidative stress-induce VSMC calcification and have recently generated a tissue specific mouse with Runx2 ablation in smooth muscle cells. Therefore, we will use STZ and other relevant reagents in the glucose synthesis/metabolism pathways as stimuli for VSMC calcification to characterize the glycogene profiles during VSMC calcification. Results from VSMC of Runx2 knockout mice will be compared with those from control mice to determine the regulation of calcification-associated glycogenes by Runx2 in response to STZ. These studies will provide foundation for further mechanistic studies and may lead to identification of novel strategies and targets for diabetes-induced vascular calcification. To examine vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) under two conditions: 1) wild-type VSMC differentiated into bone-like cells with osteogenic media, 2) wild-type VSMC treated with STZ and osteogenic media

Project description:Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) phenotype switch has been thought to be critical to the development of thoracic aneurysm/dissection. To investigate the function EZH2 in the regulation of VSMCs phenotype switch, we established mouse vascular smooth muscle cells in which each target gene has been knocked down by siRNA.

Project description:Vascular calcification is a common and life-threatening complication in patients with chronic kidney disease, in which osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays an essential role. Paraspeckle protein NONO is a multifunctional protein involved in many nuclear biological processes but its role in vascular calcification and osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs remains unclear.By RNA sequencing analysis in primary mouse VSMCs with or without NONO knockout, we observed significant changes of genes important in regulating vascular function and osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs.

Project description:Vascular calcification often occurs with osteoporosis, a contradictory association called “calcification paradox”. We find that extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from aged bone matrix (AB-EVs) during bone resorption favor adipogenesis rather than osteogenesis of BMSCs and augment calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Intravenous or intramedullary injection of AB-EVs promotes bone-fat imbalance and exacerbates Vitamin D3 (VD3)-induced vascular calcification in young or old mice. To explore the involvement of miRNAs in the AB-EVs-induced promotion of adipocyte formation and vascular calcification, the Agilent miRNA array was conducted to compare the miRNA expression profiles in AB-EVs and YB-EVs from mouse bone specimens. Our study uncovers the role of AB-EVs as a messenger for calcification paradox by transferring functional miRNAs.

Project description:Young and Aged osteocytes in bone matrix secreted plenty of extracellular vesicles (EVs) with different functions. We found that EVs released from aged bone matrix (AB-EVs) during bone resorption favor adipogenesis rather than osteogenesis of BMSCs and augment calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

Project description:Atherosclerosis is one of the causative factors leading to the development of cardiovascular disease. Angiotensin II (AngII) is implicated in the pathological processes underlying atherosclerosis. We investigated the AngII regulated gene expression in primary vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). VSMCs were isolated from the thoracic aorta of male Wistar rats. Serum deprived VSMCs were stimulated with 100 nM AngII or vehicle for 2 hours, then RNA-Sequencing was carried out.
