Expression profiles in surgically-induced carotid stenosis: a combined transcriptomic and proteomic investigation.

ABSTRACT: Vascular injury aimed at stenosis removal induces local reactions often leading to restenosis. The aim of this study was a concerted transcriptomic-proteomics analysis of molecular variations in a model of rat carotid arteriotomy, to dissect the molecular pathways triggered by vascular surgical injury and to identify new potential anti-restenosis targets. RNA and proteins extracted from inbred Wistar Kyoro (WKY) rat carotids harvested 4 hrs, 48 hrs and 7 days after arteriotomy were analysed by Affymetrix rat microarrays and by bidimensional electrophoresis followed by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry, using as reference the RNA and the proteins extracted from uninjured rat carotids. Results were classified according to their biological function, and the most significant Kyoro Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were identified. A total of 1163 mRNAs were differentially regulated in arteriotomy-injured carotids 4 hrs, 48 hrs and 7 days after injury (P < 0.0001, fold-change > or =2), while 48 spots exhibited significant changes after carotid arteriotomy (P < 0.05, fold-change > or =2). Among them, 16 spots were successfully identified and resulted to correspond to a set of 19 proteins. mRNAs were mainly involved in signal transduction, oxidative stress/inflammation and remodelling, including many new potential targets for limitation of surgically induced (re)stenosis (e.g. Arginase I, Kruppel like factors). Proteome analysis confirmed and extended the microrarray data, revealing time-dependent post-translational modifications of Hsp27, haptoglobin and contrapsin-like protease inhibitor 6, and the differential expression of proteins mainly involved in contractility. Transcriptomic and proteomic methods revealed functional categories with different preferences, related to the experimental sensitivity and to mechanisms of regulation. The comparative analysis revealed correlation between transcriptional and translational expression for 47% of identified proteins. Exceptions from this correlation confirm the complementarities of these approaches.

Project description:Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with high prevalence and mortality. The rupture of atherosclerotic plaque is the main reason for the clinical events caused by atherosclerosis. Making clear the transcriptomic and proteomic profiles between the stabe and unstable atherosclerotic plaques is crucial to prevent the clinical manifestations. In the present study, 5 stable and 5 unstable human carotid atherosclerotic plaques were obtained by carotid endarterectomy. The samples were used for the whole transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) by the Next-Generation Sequencing using the Illumina HiSeq, and for proteome analysis by HPLC-MS/MS. The lncRNA-targeted genes and circRNA-originated genes were identified by analyzing their location and sequence. Gene Ontology and KEGG enrichment was carried out to analyze the functions of differentially expressed RNAs and proteins. The protein-protein interactions (PPI) network was constructed by the online tool STRING. The consistency of transcriptome and proteome were analyzed, and the lncRNA/circRNA-miRNA-mRNA interactions were predicted. As a result, 202 mRNAs, 488 lncRNAs, 91 circRNAs, and 293 proteins were identified to be differentially expressed between stable and unstable atherosclerotic plaques. The 488 lncRNAs might target 381 protein-coding genes by cis-acting mechanisms. Sequence analysis indicated the 91 differentially expressed circRNAs were originated from 97 protein-coding genes. These differentially expressed RNAs and proteins were mainly enriched in the terms of the cellular response to stress or stimulus, the regulation of gene transcription, the immune response, the nervous system functions, the hematologic activities, and the endocrine system. These results were consistent with the previous reported data in the dataset GSE41571. Further analysis identified CD5L, S100A12, CKB (target gene of lncRNA MSTRG.11455.17), CEMIP (target gene of lncRNA MSTRG.12845), and SH3GLB1 (originated gene of hsacirc_000411) to be critical genes in regulating the stability of atherosclerotic plaques. Our results provided a comprehensive transcriptomic and proteomic knowledge on the stability of atherosclerotic plaques.

Project description:Background:Carotid artery stenosis is the atherosclerotic narrowing of the proximal internal carotid artery and one of the primary causes of stroke. Elevated expression of the pleiotropic proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-18 has been demonstrated in human atherosclerotic plaques. Aims:To investigate whether the mRNA expression levels of interleukin-18 and interleukin-18-binding protein and interleukin-18 ?137 G/C (rs187238) variants are associated with carotid artery stenosis development. Study Design:Case-control study. Methods:The mRNA expression levels of interleukin-18 and interleukin-18-binding protein and interleukin-18 rs187238 variants were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and real-time polymerase chain reaction, respectively, in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 70 patients with carotid artery stenosis (36 symptomatic, 34 asymptomatic) and 75 healthy controls. Results:Interleukin-18 mRNA expression was significantly increased in carotid artery stenosis patients compared to that in healthy controls (p=0.01). However, no significant difference was observed between interleukin-18-binding protein mRNA expression levels in patients with carotid artery stenosis and those in controls (p=0.101). Internal carotid artery stenosis severity was significantly higher in symptomatic patients than that in asymptomatic patients (p<0.001). A significant relationship was identified between interleukin-18 expression and internal carotid artery stenosis severity in patients with carotid artery stenosis (p=0.051). Interleukin-18 rs187238 polymorphism genotype frequencies did not significantly differ between patients with carotid artery stenosis and controls (p=0.246). A significant difference was identified between interleukin-18-binding protein gene expression and symptomatic and asymptomatic patients (p=0.026), but there was no difference in interleukin-18 expression between the symptomatic and asymptomatic subgroups (p=0.397). Conclusion:Interleukin-18 mRNA expression may affect carotid artery stenosis etiopathogenesis and internal carotid artery stenosis severity and also may play a mechanistic role in the pathogenesis of carotid artery stenosis, influencing the appearance of symptoms.

Project description:ObjectiveTo screen and identify molecular targets and bacteria genus leading to adenomatous polyps in mouse induced by high-fat diet (HFD) +AOM/DSS using omics technology.MethodsThe molecular targets of colorectal adenoma disease were obtained from the GeneCards and OMIM database. The SPF C57BL mice were randomly divided into blank (Control) and AOM/DSS+HFD colorectal adenoma model (ADH) groups. The ADH model group was intraperitoneally injected with AOM reagent. Then, mice were given with 2.5% DSS (in free drinking water) and high-fat diet to establish the mouse model. During this period, the changes of physical signs of mice in each group were observed. After the end of modeling, HE staining was used to evaluate the histopathological change of mice. The differentially expressed genes and proteins in the Control group and ADH group were detected by RNA-seq transcriptome sequencing and Tandem Mass Tags (TMT) quantitative proteomics. The histological results were analyzed by intersection with the intestinal adenoma molecular targets obtained from the database. Moreover, the changes of intestinal flora in the two groups were examined. The correlation between targets and differential bacteria was analyzed and verified by Parallel Reaction Monitoring (PRM) to comprehensively evaluate the mouse model of adenomatous polyp induced by AOM/DSS+HFD.ResultsThe general condition and histopathological results of mice confirmed that the ADH mouse model was successfully established and tubular adenoma was formed. A total of 604 genes and 42 proteins related to intestinal adenoma were obtained by histological analysis and database intersection analysis. The intestinal microflora of ADH mice was different from that of normal mice, and the constituents and abundance of intestinal flora were similar to those of human intestinal adenoma. GATA4 and LHPP were selected as potential pathological markers of the model mice by correlation analysis of targets and intestinal flora. The results of PRM verification were highly consistent with the results of RNA-Seq transcriptome sequencing and TMT analysis.ConclusionThe pathological results, molecular pathological markers and the changes of intestinal flora suggest that the mouse ADH model is ideal for studying the transformation of inflammatory cancer. The ADH model will be helpful for understanding the occurrence and development of human colorectal cancer at the transcriptomic and proteomic level.
