Proteomic Analysis of Vascular Endothelial Cells-Effects of Laminar Shear Stress and High Glucose.

ABSTRACT: This study directly measured the relative protein levels in bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) that were cultured for two weeks in normal (5 mM, NG) or high (22 mM, HG) glucose and then were subjected to laminar shear stress at 0 or 15 dynes/cm(2). Membrane preparations were labeled with one of the four isobaric tagging reagents (iTRAQ), followed by LC-MS/MS analysis. The results showed that HG and/or shear stress induced alterations in various membrane associated proteins involving many signaling pathways. While shear stress induced an increase in heat shock proteins and protein ubiquitination, which remained enhanced in HG, the effects of shear stress on the mechanosensing and protein phosphorylation pathways were altered by HG. These results were validated by Western blot analysis, suggesting that HG importantly modulates shear stress-mediated endothelial function.

Project description:Objective: The vulnerability of atherosclerotic plaques is among the leading cause of ischemic stroke. High wall shear stress (WSS) promotes the instability of atherosclerotic plaques by directly imparting mechanical stimuli, but the specific mechanisms remain unclear. We speculate that modulation of mechanosensitive genes may play a vital role in accelerating the development of plaques. The purpose of this study was to find mechanosensitive genes in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) through combining microarray data with bioinformatics technology and further explore the underlying dynamics-related mechanisms that cause the progression and destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques. Methods: Microarray data sets for human vascular ECs under high and normal WSS were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified through the R language. The performance of enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network presented the biological function and signaling pathways of the DEGs. Hub genes were identified based on the PPI network and validated by GEO data sets. Predicted transcription factor (TF) genes and miRNAs interaction with potential mechanosensitive genes were identified by NetworkAnalyst. Results: A total of 260 DEGs, 121 upregulated and 139 downregulated genes, were screened between high and normal WSS from GSE23289. A total of 10 hub genes and four cluster modules were filtered out based on the PPI network. The enrichment analysis showed that the biological functions of the hub genes were mainly involved in responses to unfolded protein and topologically incorrect protein, and t to endoplasmic reticulum stress. The significant pathways associated with the hub genes were those of protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, antigen processing, and presentation. Three out of the 10 hub genes, namely, activated transcription factor 3 (ATF3), heat shock protein family A (Hsp70) member 6 (HSPA6), and dual specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1, also known as CL100, HVH1, MKP-1, PTPN10), were verified in GSE13712. The expression of DUSP1 was higher in the senescent cell under high WSS than that of the young cell. The TF-miRNA-mechanosensitive gene coregulatory network was constructed. Conclusion: In this work, we identified three hub genes, ATF3, HSPA6, and DUSP1, as the potential mechanosensitive genes in the human blood vessels. DUSP1 was confirmed to be associated with the senescence of vascular ECs. Therefore, these three mechanosensitive genes may have emerged as potential novel targets for the prediction and prevention of ischemic stroke. Furthermore, the TF-miRNA-mechanosensitive genes coregulatory network reveals an underlying regulatory mechanism and the pathways to control disease progression.
