Project description:The role of TIMP3 in the context of cardiovascular remodeling is relatively unexplored when considering classical risk factors such as hypercholesterolemia, diabetes and hypertension. To learn more the role of TIMP3 in the progression of cardiovascular disease we combined genetics, metabolomics and in vivo phenotypical analysis using the hypercholesterolemic ApoE null mice to generate ApoE-/-Timp3-/- mice, the latter showing increased atherosclerosis, increased mortality and arrhythmias compared to ApoE-/- mice. We have previously described Timp3-/-mice in ( Fiorentino, L., et al., Regulation of TIMP3 in diabetic nephropathy: a role for microRNAs. Acta Diabetol, 2013) . To generate ApoE-/-Timp3-/- knockout animals we crossbred the 2 strains. Offsprings were then backcrossed into ApoE animals for 6 generations to generate a pure lineage. Collectively, metabolite profiles, gene and protein expression consistently suggested a role for TIMP3 to underlie a decreased activation of PPARα/AMPK to dampen fatty acids β-oxidation eventually leading to atherosclerotic plaque composition vulnerability and perturbation of heart metabolism. mRNA profiling in ApoE-/-Timp3-/- mice revealed a TIMP3 effect to regulate Apelin, which we found decreased in the circulation due to its specific downregulation at the myocardial level but not in other well known sites of expression such as the adipose tissue. mRNA sequencing of the heart of ApoE-/-Timp3-/- mice vs ApoE-/- littermates controls.

Project description:Microarray gene expression profiling of aorta genes of APOE-deficient mice receiving atherosclerosis treatment with the ACE inhibitor captopril. Hypercholesterolemic APOE-deficient mice were used as a standard model of atherosclerosis to study gene expression changes during atherosclerosis treatment with the ACE inhibitor captopril. Microarray analysis was performed of whole aortas isolated from captopril-treated APOE-deficient mice relative to untreated APOE-deficient mice with overt atherosclerosis, and nontransgenic control mice. Microarray gene expression profiling revealed that captopril-mediated atherosclerosis prevention involved inhibition of aorta-infiltrating immune cells such as pro-atherogenic T lymphocytes and macrophages.

Experiment Overall Design: Microarray gene expression profiling was performed of whole aortas isolated from APOE-deficient mice with atherosclerosis relative to captopril-treated APOE-deficient mice, and nontransgenic control mice. Three study groups were analyzed, i.e. 8-months-old untreated APOE-deficient mice with overt atherosclerosis, age-matched APOE-deficient mice treated for 7 months with the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, captopril (20 mg/kg in drinking water), and nontransgenic control C57BL/6J mice. Two biological replicates were made of each group, and total RNA of three aortas was pooled for one gene chip.

Project description:Hypercholesterolemic APOE-deficient mice are a widely used experimental model of atherosclerosis and increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a prominent feature of atherosclerosis development. To study the impact of ROS on atherogenesis, we treated APOE-deficient mice for 7 months with the antioxidant vitamin E (2000 IU/kg diet) and performed whole genome microarray gene expression profiling of aortic genes. Microarray gene expression profiling was performed of whole aortas isolated from vitamin E-treated APOE-deficient relative to untreated APOE-deficient mice with overt atherosclerosis, and nontransgenic B6 control mice. Microarray gene expression profiling revealed that vitamin E treatment prevented atherosclerosis-related gene expression changes of the aortic intima and media. Microarray gene expression profiling was performed of whole aortas isolated from APOE-deficient mice with atherosclerosis relative to vitamin E-treated APOE-deficient mice, and nontransgenic B6 control mice. Three study groups were analyzed, i.e. 8 months-old untreated APOE-deficient mice with overt atherosclerosis, age-matched APOE-deficient mice treated for 7 months with the antioxidant vitamin E (2000 IU/kd diet), and nontransgenic B6 control (C57BL/6J) mice. Two biological replicates were made of each group, and total RNA of three aortas was pooled for one gene chip. The study complements microarray study GSE19286.

Project description:ApoE-/- atherosclerosis reversal
| PRJNA530042 | ENA
Project description: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. Experiment Overall Design: Crossing of hypercholesterolemic female with normocholesterolemic male and vice versa, determination of susceptabilioty to atherosclerosis in offspring
