Offsprings of crosses between hypercholesterolemic and normocholesterolemic parents LUMC-HKG-ApoE-Atherosclerosis

ABSTRACT: Enhanced prenatal fatty streak formation in human fetuses has been associated with maternal hypercholesterolemia. However, the possible roles of maternal genetic background and in utero environment on development of atherosclerosis in adult life have not been unraveled. We generated genetically identical heterozygous apoE-deficient mice offspring with a different maternal background to study the intrauterine effect of maternal genotype and associated hypercholesterolemia on the developing vascular system. As read out for increased atherosclerosis development in adult life, a constrictive collar was placed around the carotid artery to induce lesion formation. A significant increase in endothelial cell activation and damage was detected in the carotid arteries of heterozygous apoE-deficient fetuses with apoE-deficient mothers compared with offspring from wild type mothers, but no fatty streak formation was observed. Postnatally, all carotid arteries revealed normal morphology. In adult offspring with maternal apoE-deficiency, the constrictive collar resulted in severe lesion (9/10) development compared with no to only minor lesions (2/10) in offspring of wild type mothers. Microarray analysis showed no effect of maternal apoE-deficiency on gene expression in adult offspring. We conclude that maternal apoE-deficiency not only affects fetal arteries, but also increases the susceptibility for development of collar-induced atherosclerosis in adult life.

Changes in miR expression profile carotid plaques induced by acutely induced flow disturbances in apoe-/- mice on a high fat diet.

Project description:Atherosclerosis is causally related to disturbed flow through low and oscillatory shear stress. In order to study the miR expression profile in atherosclerotic plaques induced by disturbed flow, partial ligation of the carotid artery was performed. This procedure results acutely in severly reduced blood flow and in stenotic lesion formation within 6 weeks in apoe-/- mice on a high fat diet. We compared the miR expression profile in partially ligated left carotid arteries with the untreated right carotid artery to identify miRs which are involved in plaque formation through flow disturbances. The left carotid arteries of 6 female apoe-/- mice (6-8 weeks) were partially ligated (i.e. the external and internal carotid artery as well as the occipital artery were occluded; blood flow out of the common carotid artery occurs mainly through the superior thyroid artery). Following partial ligation the animals were fed a high fat diet for 6 weeks. Total RNA was isolated from partially ligated left carotid arteries and untreated right carotid arteries (control). MiRs expression profile of the partially ligated carotid arteries were compared with the control group. Biological replicates: 6 per group. One replicate per array.

Age Dependent Decrease in Vascular Remodeling Response in LDLr-/- mice unveils a role of Quaking in Vascular Homeostasis

Project description:Female C57Bl/6J LDLr -/- mice, aged 12 weeks (n=16) and 52 weeks (n=14), were put on western-type diet for 6 weeks before perivascular bilateral collar placement in the carotid artery. RNA was isolated from the carotid artery 6 weeks after collar placement. Snap frozen carotid arteries were pooled in four subgroups of three samples per age group in order to yield a sufficient amounts of RNA. Gene expression profiles from young and old mice were compared on spotted oligonucleotide arrays containing the 22K mouse Sigma-Compugen libarary v1. A direct hybridization was used with dye swaps for each pool. Keywords: RNA expression profiling

Inflammatory Expression Profiles in Monocyte to Macrophage Differentiation amongst Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Healthy Controls with and without an Atherosclerosis Phenotype

Project description:To examine mononuclear cell gene expression profiles in patients with and without SLE and subsets with and without atherosclerosis Monocytes were obtained from 20 patients with SLE and 16 healthy controls and were in vitro differentiated into macrophages. Subjects also underwent laboratory and imaging studies of the coronary arteries, carotid arteries, and aorta to evaluate for subclinical atherosclerosis.

Maternal hematopoietic TNF, via milk chemokines, programs hippocampal development and memory

Project description:TNF is a proinflammatory cytokine with established roles in host defense and immune system organogenesis. Here we report a novel physiological function of TNF that extends its effect beyond the host into the developing offspring. A partial/complete maternal TNF-deficit, specifically in hematopoietic cells, resulted in reduced milk levels of chemokines IP-10, MCP-1/-3/-5, and MIP-1β, which in turn, augmented offspring postnatal hippocampal proliferation, leading to improved adult spatial memory. These effects were reproduced by the postpartum administration of a clinically used anti-TNF agent. Chemokines, fed to suckling pups of TNF-deficient mothers, restored both postnatal proliferation and adult spatial memory to normal levels. This work identifies a TNF-dependent “lactrocrine” pathway that programs offspring hippocampal development and memory. The level of ambient TNF is known to be downregulated by physical activity/exercise and adaptive stress; thus, we propose that the maternal TNF-milk chemokine pathway evolved to promote offspring adaptation to post-weaning environmental challenges/competition.

Broad epigenetic signature of maternal care in the brain of adult rats (DNA methylation and H3K9 acetylation profiles)

Project description:Maternal care is associated with long-term effects on behavior and epigenetic programming of the NR3C1 (GLUCOCORTICOID RECEPTOR) gene in the hippocampus of both rats and humans. However, epigenetic changes at a single gene promoter are unlikely to account for the range of responses to the early life environment and the persistent change in expression of hundreds of additional genes in adult rats in response to differences in maternal care. Here we show that natural variations in maternal care are associated with coordinate changes in DNA methylation, chromatin, and gene expression spanning over a hundred kilobase pairs in the hippocampus of adult rats. The offspring of high compared to low maternal care mothers show epigenetic changes in promoters, exons, and gene ends and higher transcriptional activity across many genes, suggesting that a broad epigenetic regulation of gene expression may form part of a coordinated response to early maternal care. We obtained hippocampal samples from adult offspring of rat mothers that differed in the frequency of pup licking/grooming in the first week of life. Using custom-designed microarrays with probes tiling the 7 million base pair region of rat chromosome 18 centered at the NR3C1 gene at 100 bp spacing, we obtained DNA methylation and H3K9 acetylation profiles by ChIP-on-chip. Each profile was generated in triplicate, each type of profile from 3 high frequency and 3 low frequency mothers.

Using custom-designed microarrays with probes tiling the 7 million base pair region of rat chromosome 18 centered at the NR3C1 gene at 100 bp spacing, we obtained transcription profiles by hybridizing cDNA to microarrays. Each profile was generated in duplicate.
