Limited systemic sclerosis patients with PAH show biomarkers of inflammation and vascular injury

ABSTRACT: Limited systemic sclerosis patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension show biomarkers of inflammation and vascular injury Forty-nine PBMC samples were obtained from 21 lSSc subjects without PAH (lSSc-noPAH), 15 lSSc subjects with PAH (lSSc-PAH), and 10 healthy controls; three subjects provided PBMCs one year later. Genome-wide gene expression was measured for each sample. Gene expression clearly distinguished lSSc samples from healthy controls, and separated lSSc-PAH from lSSc-NoPAH patients. The gene expression and cytokine profiles of lSSc-PAH patients suggest the presence of activated monocytes, and show markers of vascular injury and inflammation. Sample vs reference, total RNA isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), 21 lSSc subjects without PAH (lSSc-noPAH), 15 lSSc subjects with PAH (lSSc-PAH), and 10 healthy controls

<h4>Background</h4>Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a common complication for individuals with limited systemic sclerosis (lSSc). The identification and characterization of biomarkers for lSSc-PAH should lead to less invasive screening, a better understanding of pathogenesis, and improved treatment.<h4>Methods and findings</h4>Forty-nine PBMC samples were obtained from 21 lSSc subjects without PAH (lSSc-noPAH), 15 lSSc subjects with PAH (lSSc-PAH), and 10 healthy controls; three subjects ...[more]

Reversible and irreversible PAH in a rat model for MCT+Shunt-induced PAH and hemodynamic unloading.

Project description:PAH was induced by 60mg/kg MCT and an aorto-caval shunt. At different timepoints of PAH progression (day 14, 21 and 28 after MCT-injection), the left lung with PAH was hemodynamically unloading by unilateral orthotopic transplatation into a syngeneic, healthy recipient. All day 14 and 7/10 day 21 transplanted lungs showed reversal of PAH after LTx. All day 28 and 3/10 day 21 transplanted lungs showed PAH progression after LTx. Lung tissue of Reversible and Irreversible PAH and normal controls, acquired at LTx, was compared using RNA-seq.

Identification of Transcriptional markers in Peripheral Blood of Idiopathic PAH Patients

Project description:Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) is characterized by progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, right ventricular failure and premature death. Owing to severe complications, lung biopsies cannot be envisioned to characterize the disease. Based on the prominent role of inflammation in PAH development, we used Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) as cell source, and relied on the SOLiD platform of Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) for transcriptional profiling

Pharmacological inhibition of G9a ameliorates pulmonary vascular remodeling in PAH

Project description:Background:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe condition characterized by progressive vascular remodeling of small pulmonary arteries (PAs) causing sustained elevation of PA pressure, right ventricular failure and death. Similar to cancer cells, PA smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), which play a key role in pulmonary vascular remodeling, have adopted multiple mechanisms to sustain their survival and proliferation in the presence of stress. The histone methyltransferase G9a has been shown to exert oncogenic effects and to serve as a buffer against an exaggerated transcriptional response. Therefore, we hypothesized that G9a up-regulation in PAH plays a pivotal role in pulmonary vascular remodeling by maintaining the abnormal phenotype of PAH-PASMCs. Methods: G9alevels were measured in PAs and isolated PASMCs of PAH patients and animal models. Selective G9a pharmacological inhibitors were used in human PAH-PASMCs and in rodent PAH models (i.e.Fawn-Hooded rats and Sugen/Hypoxia-exposed mice). Results: We present evidence of increased expression of G9a in PASMCs from PAH patients as well as in remodeled PAs from animal models. We found that pharmacological inhibition of G9a activity using BIX01294 and UNC0642significantly reduces the prosurvival and proproliferative potentials of cultured PAH-PASMCs. Using RNA sequencing, further exploration revealed that G9a promotes extracellular matrix production and affords protection against the negative effects of an overactive stress response. Finally, we found that therapeutic treatment with BIX01294 reduced pulmonary vascular remodeling and lowered mean PA pressure in Fawn-Hooded rats. Treatment of Sugen/hypoxia-challenged mice with BIX01294 also improved pulmonary hemodynamics and right ventricular function. Conclusions:These findings suggest that G9a inhibition may represent a new therapeutic approach in PAH.

Endothelial matrix-metalloproteinase-10 promotes pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with systemic sclerosis

Project description:Pulmonary endothelial dysfunction plays an integral role in mediating the initiation and progression of pulmonary vascular remodelling, an important feature of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Our aim was to decipher the gene expression program of endothelial cells derived from circulating endothelial progenitor (EPCs) to gain insight into the pathological process of PAH associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc), which is the most extreme vascular phenotype of this disease. We used microarrays to investigate the gene expression profile in late outgrowth EPC-derived endothelial cells issued from SSc-PAH patients, in comparison with SSc patients without PAH and healthy controls.

Endothelial DNA methalytion signature in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Project description:Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe and incurable pulmonary vascular disease. One of the primary origins of PAH is pulmonary endothelial dysfunction leading to vasoconstriction, aberrant angiogenesis and smooth muscle cell proliferation, endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, thrombosis and inflammation. Our objective was to study the epigenetic variations in pulmonary endothelial cells (PEC) through a specific pattern of DNA methylation. DNA was extracted from cultured PEC from patients with idiopathic PAH (n=11), heritable PAH (n=10) and controls (n=18). ). DNA methylation was assessed using the Illumina HumanMethylation450 Assay. After normalization, samples and probes were clustered according to their methylation profile. Differential clusters were functionally analysed using bioinformatics tools.

Customized internal reference controls for improved assessment of circulating microRNAs in disease

Project description:Altered levels of circulating extracellular miRNA in plasma and serum have shown promise as non-invasive biomarkers of disease. However, unlike the assessment of cellular miRNA levels for which there are accepted housekeeping genes, analogous reference controls for normalization of circulating miRNA are lacking. The objective of this study was to devise an approach to both identify and validate circulating miRNA reference controls on a de novo basis, and evaluate the relative performance of these customized internal reference controls versus other strategies. As a case example, 1066 different miRNAs were screened in plasma from pulmonary arterial hypertension patients and control subjects to identify an initial pool of miRNA candidates. PCR array profiling was performed on 4 treatment-naïve idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients, 3 healthy control subjects and 1 non-PAH control subject

Implication of EZH2 in the hyper-proliferative and apoptosis-resistant phenotype of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells in PAH: a transcriptomic and proteomic approach

Project description:The aim of this study was to determine whether EZH2 represents a new factor critically involved in the cancer-like phenotype of PAH-PASMCs. We found that EZH2 is overexpressed in human lung tissues and isolated PASMCs from PAH patients compared to controls as well as in two animal models mimicking the disease. Through loss- and gain-of-function approaches, we showed that EZH2 promotes PAH-PASMC proliferation and survival. By combining quantitative transcriptomic and proteomic approaches in PAH-PASMCs subjected or not to EZH2 knockdown, we found that inhibition of EZH2 downregulates many factors involved in cell cycle progression, including E2F targets, and contributes to maintain energy production. Notably, we found that EZH2 promotes expression of several nuclear-encoded components of the mitochondrial translation machinery and TCA cycle genes. Overall, this study provides evidence that, by overexpressing EZH2, PAH-PASMCs remove the physiological breaks that normally restrain their proliferation and susceptibility to apoptosis and suggests that EZH2 or downstream factors may serve as therapeutic targets to combat pulmonary vascular remodeling.
