Project description:It is already well known that the immune cells called macrophages are involved in the mechanisms of heart failure (HF). Macrophages are divised into several subtypes based on behavior.Some subsets are highly inflammatory, while some support tissue repair. Recent studies have suggested that the classical M1/M2 classification is not suitable for some pathological processes of the heart. Single cell sequencing (scSeq) is an ideal tool to clarify the macrophage heterogeneity in HF. It provided a higher resolution of cellular differences and a better understanding of individual cell function. In this study, we aimed to identify a macrophage subset that linked with heart failure, and furtherly screen the target and investigate the mechanism.

Project description:Accumulation of activated cardiac fibroblasts plays a key role in heart failure progression. These cells deposit excessive extracellular matrix that leads to mechanical stiffness, myocyte uncoupling and ischemia. To investigate whether two developmentally distinct cardiac fibroblast populations exhibit distinct expression profiles in response to cardiac injury, and therefore might necessitate distinct therapeutic targeting, we performed microarray analysis on FACS sorted cells. Tie2cre lineage traced CFs, non Tie2cre lineage traced cardiac fibroblasts and endothelial cells were isolated from left ventricle of SHAM operated and banded hearts at the onset of fibrosis, one week after surgery. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in cardiac fibroblasts and endothelium following pressure overload. Tie2cre lineage traced, non-tie2cre lineage traced fibroblasts and endothelial cells were sorted from left ventricle of 3 SHAM operated and 3 TAC operated adult male Black Swiss mice. Tie2cre lineage traced, non-tie2cre lineage traced fibroblasts and endothelial cells were sorted from left ventricle of 3 SHAM operated and 3 Transaortic Constriction (TAC) operated adult male Black Swiss mice for RNA extraction and Affymetrix microarray analysis. Hypertrophy in TAC animals, an lack of hypertrophy in SHAM operated animals, was evaluated by hemodynamic measurements before surgery and one week after surgery. Cells were isolated one week after surgery.

Project description:BackgroundIn mice, transverse aortic constriction (TAC) is variably characterized as a model of pressure overload-induced hypertrophy (left ventricular [LV] hypertrophy, or LVH) or heart failure (HF). While commonly used, variability in the TAC model is poorly defined. The objectives of this study were to characterize the variability in the TAC model and to define a simple, noninvasive method of prospectively identifying mice with HF versus compensated LVH after TAC.MethodsEight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice underwent TAC or sham and then echocardiography at 3 weeks post-TAC. A group of sham and TAC mice were euthanized after the 3-week echocardiogram, while the remainder underwent repeat echocardiography and were euthanized at 9 weeks post-TAC. The presence of TAC was assessed with two-dimensional echocardiography, anatomic aortic m-mode and color flow, and pulsed-wave Doppler examination of the transverse aorta (TA) and by LV systolic pressure (LVP). Trans-TAC pressure gradient was assessed invasively in a subset of mice. HF was defined as lung/body weight>upper limit in sham-operated mice.ResultsAs compared with sham, TAC mice had higher TA velocity, LVP and LV weight, and lower ejection fraction (EF) at 3 or 9 weeks post-TAC. Only a subset of TAC mice (28%) developed HF. As compared with compensated LVH, HF mice were characterized by similar TA velocity and higher percent TA stenosis, but lower LVP, higher LV weight, larger LV cavity, lower EF and stress-corrected midwall fiber shortening, and more fibrosis. Both EF and LV mass measured by echocardiography at 3 weeks post-TAC were predictive of the presence of HF at 3 or 9 weeks post-TAC.ConclusionsIn wild-type mice, TAC produces a variable cardiac phenotype. Marked abnormalities in LV mass and EF at echocardiography 3 weeks post-TAC identify mice with HF at autopsy. These data are relevant to appropriate design and interpretation of murine studies.

Project description:In order to investigate the differentially expressed genes in Acsl4 knockout after TAC (Transverse aortic constriction) or sham surgery. The experiment was divided to four groups including sham-operated Acsl4 flox/flox mice (FS), sham-operated Acsl4 knockout mice (KS), TAC-operated Acsl4 flox/flox mice (FT), TAC-operated Acsl4 knockout mice (KT) n=3 mice/group. The heart tissue was isolated after 21 days after performing TAC or sham surgery.

Project description:ObjectiveAlthough hypertension is the most common risk factor for thoracic aortic diseases, it is not understood how increased pressures on the ascending aorta lead to aortic aneurysms. We investigated the role of angiotensin II type 1 receptor activation in ascending aortic remodeling in response to increased biomechanical forces using a transverse aortic constriction (TAC) mouse model.Approach and resultsTwo weeks after TAC, the increased biomechanical pressures led to ascending aortic dilatation and thickening of the medial and adventitial layers of the aorta. There was significant adventitial hyperplasia and inflammatory responses in TAC ascending aortas were accompanied by increased adventitial collagen, elevated inflammatory and proliferative markers, and increased cell density attributable to accumulation of myofibroblasts and macrophages. Treatment with losartan significantly blocked TAC-induced vascular inflammation and macrophage accumulation. However, losartan only partially prevented TAC-induced adventitial hyperplasia, collagen accumulation, and ascending aortic dilatation. Increased Tgfb2 expression and phosphorylated-Smad2 staining in the medial layer of TAC ascending aortas were effectively blocked with losartan. In contrast, the increased Tgfb1 expression and adventitial phospho-Smad2 staining were only partially attenuated by losartan. In addition, losartan significantly blocked extracellular signal-regulated kinase activation and reactive oxygen species production in the TAC ascending aorta.ConclusionsInhibition of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor using losartan significantly attenuated the vascular remodeling associated with TAC but did not completely block the increased transforming growth factor-β1 expression, adventitial Smad2 signaling, and collagen accumulation. These results help to delineate the aortic transforming growth factor-β signaling that is dependent and independent of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor after TAC.

Project description:Time-course multi-omics data of a murine model of progressive heart failure (HF) induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC) provide insights into the molecular mechanisms that are causatively involved in contractile failure and structural cardiac remodelling. We employ Illumina-based transcriptomics, Nanopore sequencing and mass spectrometry-based proteomics on samples from the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV, RNA only) of the heart at 1, 7, 21 and 56 days following TAC and Sham surgery. Here, we present Transverse Aortic COnstriction Multi-omics Analysis (TACOMA), as an interactive web application that integrates and visualizes transcriptomics and proteomics data collected in a TAC time-course experiment. TACOMA enables users to visualize the expression profile of known and novel genes and protein products thereof. Importantly, we capture alternative splicing events by assessing differential transcript and exon usage as well. Co-expression-based clustering algorithms and functional enrichment analysis revealed overrepresented annotations of biological processes and molecular functions at the protein and gene levels. To enhance data integration, TACOMA synchronizes transcriptomics and proteomics profiles, enabling cross-omics comparisons. With TACOMA (https://shiny.dieterichlab.org/app/tacoma), we offer a rich web-based resource to uncover molecular events and biological processes implicated in contractile failure and cardiac hypertrophy. For example, we highlight: (i) changes in metabolic genes and proteins in the time course of hypertrophic growth and contractile impairment; (ii) identification of RNA splicing changes in the expression of Tpm2 isoforms between RV and LV; and (iii) novel transcripts and genes likely contributing to the pathogenesis of HF. We plan to extend these data with additional environmental and genetic models of HF to decipher common and distinct molecular changes in heart diseases of different aetiologies.
