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:The human gut is colonized by trillions of microorganisms that influence human health and disease through the metabolism of xenobiotics, including therapeutic drugs and antibiotics. The diversity and metabolic potential of the human gut microbiome have been extensively characterized, but it remains unclear which microorganisms are active and which perturbations can influence this activity. Here, we use flow cytometry, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and metatranscriptomics to demonstrate that the human gut contains distinctive subsets of active and damaged microorganisms, primarily composed of Firmicutes, which display marked temporal variation. Short-term exposure to a panel of xenobiotics resulted in significant changes in the physiology and gene expression of this active microbiome. Xenobiotic-responsive genes were found across multiple bacterial phyla, encoding novel candidate proteins for antibiotic resistance, drug metabolism, and stress response. These results demonstrate the power of moving beyond DNA-based measurements of microbial communities to better understand their physiology and metabolism. RNA-Seq analysis of the human gut microbiome during exposure to antibiotics and therapeutic drugs.

Project description:In this study, we report the protective effect of LINE1 intervention on vascular calcification. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the protective role of LINE1 inhibition, we employed RNA sequencing to identify gene expression changes under LINE1 suppression conditions. Our findings provide insights into the pathways involved in modulating vascular calcification and highlight LINE1 as a potential therapeutic target.

Project description:The environment of gut bacteria is extremely dynamic. Environmental conditions were shown to affect microbial composition, however, their effects on bacterial functionality (e.g., immune-modulation activity) are mostly overlooked. Distinct strains of the same species, and even the same bacterial strain, may have different effects on the immune system depending on their growth environment. Therefore, studying the functionality of strains, under different conditions, is crucial. We analyzed functional alterations in the gut symbiont Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (B. theta) under different diets in humans, under sugar consumption in mice, and in response to 190 different carbon sources in vitro. Dietary alterations affected the orientation of phase variable promoters in B. theta in humans, in vivo and in vitro and altered B. theta’s proteome and immune-modulatory functionality. Studying the effects of dietary components on the immune-modulatory functionalities of key members of the gut microbiota will allow tailored dietary recommendations to patients.

Project description:Intestinal epithelial homeostasis is maintained by a complex interplay between different epithelial cells, gut microorganisms, and immune cells. Disruption of this interplay contributes to inflammatory and immune diseases associated with gut microbiome dysbiosis. A genetic factor that modulates the interactions between gut epithelium, microbiota and immune cells is sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), the most conserved mammalian NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase. We and others have shown that deficiency of intestinal epithelial SIRT1 leads to intestinal inflammation, disruption of gut microbial composition, and altered susceptibility to environmentally induced colitis. Recently we generated a Paneth-cell specific SIRT1 KO mouse model (SIRT1 PKO). Similar to mice with SIRT1 deficiency in whole intestinal epithelium, SIRT1 PKO mice had increased abundance as well as hyperactivation of Paneth cells in vivo and in cultured intestinal organoids. Single-cell RNA-seq of whole intestinal cell populations confirmed that deletion of Paneth cell SIRT1 significantly increases the abundance of Paneth cells. This increase was accompanied with an elevated abundance of intestinal stem cells, transition amplifying cells, and enterocytes. Consistently, SIRT1 PKO mice were able to better maintain their intestinal epithelial integrity during aging and were protected from chemically induced colitis compared to control mice. Deletion of SIRT1 in Paneth cells further induced profound alterations in gut microbiota. Using microbiota-depleted mice and fecal transplantation, we demonstrate that Paneth cell SIRT1 deficiency ameliorates colitis through the gut microbiota. Collectively, our findings uncover an unanticipated function of Paneth cell SIRT1 in conferring sensitivity of the gut epithelium to stress.

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.
