Protein interaction networks in the vasculature prioritize genes and pathways underlying coronary artery disease (Whitehead data)

ABSTRACT: Population-based association studies have identified many genetic risk loci for coronary artery disease (CAD), but it is often unclear how genes within these loci are linked to CAD. Here, we performed interaction proteomics for 11 CAD-risk genes to map their protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in human vascular cells and elucidate their biological relevance in CAD pathogenesis. The PPI networks contain many protein interactions that are outside of known biology in the vasculature and are enriched for genes involved in immunity-related and arterial-wall-specific mechanisms. Furthermore, several PPI networks derived from smooth muscle cells are significantly enriched for genetic variants associated with CAD and related vascular phenotypes. Finally, our networks identified 61 genes that are found in genetic loci associated with risk of CAD, prioritizing them as the causal candidates within these loci. Together, our results indicate that the PPI networks we have generated are a rich resource for guiding future research into the molecular pathogenesis of CAD.

A protein network of common susceptibility genes provides a link in the genetic architecture of chronic inflammation and cardiovascular disease

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of susceptibility loci for chronic and inflammatory disease phenotypes in humans. There is increasing evidence that chronic inflammation is a crucial driver in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which may be genetically determined. To understand the genetic architecture underlying chronic inflammation and CVD we performed a systematic analysis of (1) common risk alleles coming from published GWAS, (2) of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks informed by (3) gene expression data with a defined molecular target involved in the inflammatory processes promoting CVD, MRP8. (4) through analysis of integrated haplotype scores (iHS) and FST values in HapMap phase 2 data, we investigated whether recent selection pressure acting upon inflammatory genes affected CVD susceptibility loci. Our findings provide significant evidence for a PPI network, which connects inflammatory and cardiovascular susceptibility genes, and establish a genetic framework of inflammatory CVD. 41.59% of PPI genes are associated with immune functions. 28.3% of integrated genes can be linked to both, an inflammatory and cardiovascular disease phenotype. Interestingly, CDKN2B, and CELSR2/PSRC1/MYBPHL/SORT1, unequivocally replicated CVD loci, are integrated within this network as are several SNPs located in transcription factor recognition sequences, i.e. NFKB1, STAT3, which are key factors in inflammation. Finally, we observed a significant enrichment of inflammatory variants within CVD cluster loci that are targets of selection. Overall, 32 genes exhibit traces of selection, 16 of which are part of the PPI, further suggesting that recent selective sweeps may have affected the genomic architecture underlying CVD. 6 samples, no replicates.

In vivo mapping of protein-protein interactions of schizophrenia risk factors generates an interconnected disease network.

Project description:Genetic analyses of Schizophrenia (SCZ) patients have identified thousands of risk factors. In silico protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis has provided strong evidence that disrupted PPI networks underlie SCZ pathogenesis. In this study, we performed in vivo PPI analysis of several SCZ risk factors in the rodent brain. Using endogenous antibody immunoprecipitations coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, we constructed a SCZ network comprising 1612 unique PPI with a 5% FDR. Over 90% of the PPI were novel, reflecting the lack of previous PPI MS studies in brain tissue. Our SCZ PPI network was enriched with known SCZ risk factors, which supports the hypothesis that an accumulation of disturbances in selected PPI networks underlies SCZ. We used Stable Isotope Labeling in Mammals (SILAM) to quantitate phencyclidine (PCP) perturbations in the SCZ network and found that PCP weakened most PPI but also led to some enhanced or new PPI. These findings demonstrate that quantitating PPI in perturbed biological states can reveal alterations to network biology.

Neuron-specific protein network mapping of autism risk genes identifies shared biological mechanisms and disease relevant pathologies

Project description:There are hundreds of risk genes for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but signaling networks at the protein level remain unexplored. We used neuron-specific proximity-labeling proteomics (BioID) to identify protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks for 41 ASD-risk genes. Neuron-specific PPI networks included synaptic transmission proteins, which are disrupted by de novo missense variants. The PPI network map revealed convergent pathways including mitochondrial/metabolic processes, Wnt signaling, ion channel activity and MAPK signaling. CRISPR knockout validations revealed an association between mitochondrial activity and ASD-risk genes. The PPI network showed an enrichment of 112 additional ASD-risk genes and differentially expressed genes from post-mortem ASD patients. Clustering of risk genes based on PPI networks identified gene groups corresponding to clinical behavior score severity. Our data reveal that cell type-specific PPI networks can identify previously unknown individual and convergent ASD signaling networks, provide a method to assess patient variants, and reveal biological insight into disease mechanisms and sub-cohorts of ASD.

Deep transcriptomic analysis of human vascular cells identifies novel risk genes for common vascular diseases

Project description:Several genome-wide association studies have to date been carried out to identify genetic risk loci associated with vascular diseases. Many of the established common variants likely perturb the expression of disease-relevant genes within the vascular tissue itself. To identify such genes on a genome-wide level, we analyzed the transcriptome of human coronary artery smooth muscle and endothelial cells for Allele-Specific Expression (ASE).

Integrative vascular endothelial cell genomics identify AIDA as a coronary artery disease candidate gene (Hi-C)

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 100s of loci associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and blood pressure (BP)/hypertension. Many of these loci are not associated with traditional risk factors, nor include obvious candidate genes, complicating their functional characterization. We hypothesized that many GWAS loci associated with vascular diseases modulate endothelial functions. Endothelial cells play critical roles in regulating vascular homeostasis (e.g. selective barrier, inflammation, hemostasis, vascular tone) and endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark of atherosclerosis and hypertension. We generated an integrated map of gene expression (RNA-sequencing), open chromatin regions (ATAC-sequencing), and 3D interactions (Hi-C) in resting and TNFα-treated human endothelial cells. We showed that genetic variants associated with CAD and BP are enriched in open chromatin regions identified in endothelial cells. We used physical loops identified by Hi-C to link open chromatin peaks that include CAD or BP SNPs with the promoter of genes expressed in endothelial cells. This analysis highlighted 4,548 combinations of regulatory elements-promoters, including 108 pairs that involve a differentially open chromatin site and a differentially expressed gene following TNFα treatment. At a CAD locus, we validated one of these pairs by engineering a deletion of the TNFα-sensitive regulatory element using CRISPR/Cas9 and measuring an effect on the expression of the novel CAD candidate gene AIDA. Our data support an important role played by genetic variants acting in the vascular endothelium to modulate inter-individual risk in CAD or hypertension
