Project description:Long term-exposed to high altitude, the increased numbers of red blood cells tend to stabilize to a certain extend in most people, but someone will occur over-increasing in number of red blood cells, which cause a serious of clinical symptoms and signs, and this is high altitude polycythemia. EPO-EPOR system may be the main reasons for erythroid progenitor cell proliferation and differentiation in early exposion to plateau, but, in the late, there may be other factors involved in the regulation of erythropoiesis in bone marrow, multiple factors working together lead to excessive red blood cell proliferation. We compared gene expression profiling of leukocytes in peripheral blood from high altitude polycythemia patients with those from matched controls. Subjects consisting of 5 masculine Han Chinese patients with HAPC (diagnosed according to international consensus statement on HAPC) and 5 matched controls, were migrants at River of TUOTUO area (Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, 4550 m). Each of the five HAPC patients was matched to each of the control: gender, nationality, birthplace, duration migrating to plateau, height of location, work intensity. Peripheral blood samples were obtained at 4550m plateau from above subjects. Total RNA was extracted from peripheral blood leucocytes. The gene expression profilings were analysed by Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array.

Project description:This study explores how yaks, an ideal animal model for studying plateau adaptability, adapt to high-altitude environments. The lung is a representative organ of the yak’s adaptation to high-altitude environments. The F1 hybrids of yak and cattle, known as dzho, also exhibit adaptability to plateau conditions. This study constructed a single-cell transcriptome atlas of the lungs in yak, dzho and cattle, containing 51 subtypes. We initially found that the differential subtypes among yak, dzho and cattle were mainly concentrated in T&NK cells and fibroblasts. Most of them belonged to new cell subtypes. Subsequently, we speculated that NKG7 and CD4 played a central regulatory role in T&NK cells, contributing to T cell activation and affecting the adaptive immune response of yaks. In fibroblasts, MYL9 and IGF2 are believed to play key regulatory roles, participating in maintaining cellular energy metabolism balance. These results provide an important scientific basis for systematically analysing the molecular regulatory mechanisms of yak adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia.

Project description:Extreme environmental conditions at high altitude, such as hypobaric hypoxia, low temperature, and strong UV radiation, pose a great challenge to the survival of animals. Although the mechanisms of adaptation to high-altitude environments have attracted much attention for native plateau species, the underlying metabolic regulation remains unclear. Here, we used a multi-platform metabolomic analysis to compare metabolic profiles of liver between high- and low-altitude populations of toad-headed lizards, Phrynocephalus vlangalii, from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. A total of 191 differential metabolites were identified, consisting of 108 up-regulated and 83 down-regulated metabolites in high-altitude lizards as compared with values for low-altitude lizards. Pathway analysis revealed that the significantly different metabolites were associated with carbohydrate metabolism, amino acid metabolism, purine metabolism, and glycerolipid metabolism. Most intermediary metabolites of glycolysis and the tricarboxylic acid cycle were not significantly altered between the two altitudes, but most free fatty acids as well as β-hydroxybutyric acid were significantly lower in the high-altitude population. This may suggest that high-altitude lizards rely more on carbohydrates as their main energy fuel rather than lipids. Higher levels of phospholipids occurred in the liver of high-altitude populations, suggesting that membrane lipids may undergo adaptive remodeling in response to low-temperature stress at high altitude. In summary, this study demonstrates that metabolic profiles differ substantially between high- and low-altitude lizard populations, and that these differential metabolites and metabolic pathways can provide new insights to reveal mechanisms of adaptation to extreme environments at high altitude.

Project description:Essential hypertension (EH) remains a leading contributor to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease worldwide. However, the molecular mechanisms driving EH under chronic hypoxia, particularly among long-term residents of high-altitude regions, remain unclear. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as critical post-transcriptional regulators, offer a promising link between hypoxia, inflammation, and vascular remodeling.

Project description:High-altitude pulmonary hypertension (HAPH) is a severe and progressive disease caused by chronic hypoxia and subsequent pulmonary vascular remodeling. No cure is currently available owing to an incomplete understanding about vascular remodeling. It is believed that hypoxia-induced diseases can be prevented by treating hypoxia. Thus, this study aimed to determine whether daily short-duration reoxygenation at sea level attenuates pulmonary hypertension under high-altitude hypoxia. To this end, a simulated 5,000-m hypoxia rat model was used to evaluate the effect of short-duration reoxygenation. Results show that intermittent, not continuous, short-duration reoxygenation effectively attenuates hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension. The mechanisms underlining the protective effects involved that intermittent, short-duration reoxygenation prevented functional and structural remodeling of pulmonary arteries and proliferation, migration, and phenotypic conversion of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells under hypoxia. The specific genes or potential molecular pathways responsible for mediating the protective effects were also characterised by RNA sequencing.This study is novel in revealing a new potential method in preventing high-altitude pulmonary hypertension. It gives insights into the selection and optimisation of oxygen supply schemes in high-altitude areas.

Project description:Background: The potential molecular mechanisms underlying acute adaptation and chronic remodeling of cardiac structure and function in response to high altitude are not yet fully understood. This study aims to investigate changes in the crotonylproteome in the hearts of mice exposed to high altitude at different time points. Methods: The hearts were obtained from mice living at the lowland (500 meters above the sea level, Control), and 3- (D3), 10- (D10) and 30-days (D30) after arriving at plateau (3600 meters above the sea level). Then, a high-resolution mass spectrometry-based, quantitative crotonyllysine proteomics approach was performed to identify the changes in crotonylproteome. Results: We totally identified approximately 13,731 crotonyllysine sites, among which 11,140 were quantified. Furthermore, 1247 differentially expressed (DE) crotonyllysine sites on 764 proteins in 46 pathways were defined by using a stepwise pipeline. Then, 90 crotonylosites from 88 crotonyloproteins with increased crotonylosite abundance and 185 crotonylosites from 141 crotonyloproteins with decreased crotonylosite abundance in the hearts of D3 group were identified, 353 hypercrotonylosites from 274 hypercrotonyloproteins and 118 hypocrotonylosites from 95 hypocrotonyloproteins in the hearts of D10 group were identified, and 958 hypercrotonylosites from 638 hypercrotonyloproteins and 77 hypocrotonylosites from 63 hypocrotonyloproteins were identified in the hearts of D30 group when compared to that in control groups, respectively (>1.3-fold change, P < 0.05), while which occurs largely independently of protein abundance in the same proteins, suggesting a gradually increased crotonylation abundance with the time of exposure to high altitude. Interestingly, the functional enrichment analysis found that most of these significantly changed crotonylated proteins were enriched in the regulation of metabolism and cardiac muscle functions, indicating that these enriched biological processes may be involved in the acute adaptation and chronic remodeling of cardiac function and structure changes in response to high altitude. Conclusion: Our study uncovers some crotonylation-affected processes and pathways in the hearts response to high-altitude exposure, giving novel insights into molecular processes of cardiac function and structure changes at high altitude.

Project description:The altitude gradient limits the growth and distribution of alpine plants.Alpine plants have developed strategies to survive the extremely cold conditions prevailing at high altitudes; however, the mechanism underlying the evolution of these strategies remains unknown. The alpine plant Potentilla saundersiana is widespread in the Northwestern Tibetan Plateau. In this study, we conducted a comparative proteomics analysis to investigate the dynamic patterns of protein expression of P. saundersiana located at five different altitudes. We detected and functionally characterized 118 differentially expressed proteins. Our study confirmed that increasing levels of antioxidant proteins, and their respective activities, and accumulation of primary metabolites, such as proline and sugar, confer tolerance to the alpine environment in P. saundersiana. Proteins species associated with the epigenetic regulation of DNA stability and post-translational protein degradation were also involved in this process. Furthermore, our results showed that P. saundersiana modulated the root architecture and leaf phenotype to enhance adaptation to alpine environmental stress through mechanisms that involved hormone synthesis and signal transduction, particularly the cross-talk between auxin and strictosidine. Based on these findings, we conclude that P. saundersiana uses multiple strategies to adapt to the high-altitude environment of the Northwestern Tibetan Plateau.
