Project description:Vascular calcification is a common and life-threatening complication in patients with chronic kidney disease, in which osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays an essential role. Paraspeckle protein NONO is a multifunctional protein involved in many nuclear biological processes but its role in vascular calcification and osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs remains unclear.By RNA sequencing analysis in primary mouse VSMCs with or without NONO knockout, we observed significant changes of genes important in regulating vascular function and osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs.

Project description:SGLT-2 inhibitors, such as empagliflozin, have been shown to reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular events and delay the progression of atherosclerosis. However, its role in atherosclerotic calcification remains unclear. In this research, ApoE-/- mice were fed with western diet and empagliflozin was added to the drinking water for 24 weeks. Empagliflozin treatment significantly alleviated arterial calcification assessed by alizarin red and von kossa staining in aortic roots and reduced the lipid levels, while had little effect on body weight and blood glucose levels in ApoE-/- mice. In vitro studies, empagliflozin significantly inhibits calcification of primary vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and aortic rings induced by osteogenic media (OM) or inorganic phosphorus (Pi). RNA sequencing of VSMCs cultured in OM with or without empagliflozin showed that empagliflozin negatively regulated the osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs. And further studies confirmed that empagliflozin significantly inhibited osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs via qRT-PCR. Our study demonstrates that empagliflozin alleviates atherosclerotic calcification by inhibiting osteogenic differentiation of VSMCs, which addressed a critical need for the discovery of a drug-based therapeutic approach in the treatment of atherosclerotic calcification.

Project description:Vascular calcification (VC) is often associated with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms linking VC to these diseases have yet to be elucidated. Here we report that MDM2-induced polyubiquitination of histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) mediates VC. Loss of HDAC1 activity via either chemical inhibitor or genetic ablation enhanced VC. HDAC1 protein, but not mRNA, was reduced in cell and animal calcification models and in human calcified coronary artery. In the calcification-provoking condition, proteasomal degradation of HDAC1 preceded VC. The calcification-provoking condition induced MDM2 E3 ligase, which then resulted in HDAC1 K74 polyubiquitination. Overexpression of MDM2 enhanced VC, whereas loss of MDM2 blunted it. Decoy peptides spanning HDAC1 K74 and RG 7112, an MDM2 inhibitor, prevented VC in vivo and in vitro. These results demonstrate a previously unknown ubiquitination pathway and suggest MDM2-mediated HDAC1 polyubiquitination as a new therapeutic target in VC. Calcification was induced in rat aorta vascular smooth muscle cells with inorganic phosphate (Pi). Total RNA were extracted from the cells 3 and 6 days later. mRNA profile of the sample was compared with normal control.

Project description:Objective: To investigate the treatment and mechanism of lanthanum hydroxide on hyperphosphate-induced vascular calcification in chronic renal failure. Methods: Develop a rat model of CKD hyperphosphatemia. Rats were randomly allocated to the model, lanthanum hydroxide, lanthanum carbonate, Calcium carbonate groups. Determination of serum biochemical indicators and the determination of pathological analysis of kidney tissue, Von Kossa staining and CT scan on the aortic vessels. The proteomic analysis of aortic tissue in Vivo. A calcified VSMCs model was established. The calcium content and ALP activity were measured. RT-PCR measures the mRNA expression level of SM22α, Runx2, BMP-2 and TRAF6. Western Blot measures the protein expression level of SM22α, Runx2, BMP-2, TRAF6 and NF-κB. Results: Through the detection of serum biochemical indicators and pathological analysis of kidney tissue, it can be summaryed that lanthanum hydroxide has the effect of delaying the progression of renal failure and protecting renal function. We found that the administration of lanthanum hydroxide delayed the development of vascular calcification induced by hyperphosphatemia in CKD. It can be concluded that lanthanum hydroxide may affect vascular calcification through the NF-κB pathway. , To deal with Lanthanum chloride (LaCl3) inhibited phosphate induced calcification, osteo-/chondrogenic transdifferentiation, and NF-κB signaling in cultured VSMCs. Lanthanum hydroxide significantly reduces the expression of Runx2, BMP-2, TRAF6 and NF-κB. Conclusion: Lanthanum hydroxide has a protective effect on the kidneys, and can delay the development of vascular calcification by reducing serum phosphorus concentration.

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.

Project description:The moderate response of smooth muscle cells is beneficial to the repair of vascular injury, while the continuous exposure of intravascular growth factors, and other stimulating factors will cause the dysfunction of smooth muscle cells, leading to the pathological remodeling of blood vessels, which is called neointimal hyperplasia. The aim of this study is to investigate the biological function of PTPN14 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and the mechanism of PTPN14 in regulating neointimal hyperplasia.

Project description:Cardiovascular calcification can occur in vascular and valvular structures and is commonly associated with calcium deposition and tissue mineralization leading to stiffness and dysfunction. Based on shared risk factors and end stage pathologies, calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) and coronary artery calcification (CAC) are often considered as one disease, and similarly treated. However, the clinical conditions associated with each phenotype can be different, suggesting multifaceted pathologies. To better understand diversity in molecular and cellular processes that underlie calcification in vascular and valvular structures, we exposed aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (AVSMCs) and aortic valve interstitial cells (AVICs) to calcific stimuli including high (2.5mM) phosphate and osteogenic media (OM) treatments in vitro. Consistent with clinical observations made by others, we show that AVSMCs are more susceptible to calcification than AVICs, and this process is mediated by cell-specific and treatment-specific molecular responses. RNA-seq analysis demonstrates that in response to calcific-stimuli, both AVSMCs and AVICs activate a robust ossification-program, although the signaling pathways, cellular processes and osteogenic-associated markers involved are diverse. In addition, VIC-mediated calcification appears to involve biological processes related to osteo-chondro differentiation and down regulation of actin cytoskeleton genes, that are not observed in VSMCs. Furthermore, are findings suggest that signaling pathways involved in cardiovascular cell calcification are dependent on the calcific-stimuli, including a requirement of PI3K signaling for OM-induced calcification, and not 2.5mM Phosphate. Together, this study provides a wealth of information suggesting that the pathogenesis of cardiovascular calcifications may be significantly more diverse than previously appreciated.

Project description:Vascular Calcification (VC) is a life threatening cardiovascular complication that accounts for high death rates particularly in association with diabetes, atherosclerosis and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD. during VC, Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (VSMCs) undergo reprogramming into osteoblast-like cells in response to calcium and phosphate mineral imbalance in CKD patients. This osteogenic switch is driven by the expression of several bone markers such as Runt- related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Osteopontin (OPN), Matrix-Gla Protein (MGP), Osteocalcin (OCN), Type I Collagen (COL1), and Bone Sialo Proteins (BSPs). Recent studies showed that VSMCs secrete heterogeneous populations of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs)11 that are enriched under physiological conditions by calcification inhibitors such as Fetuin-A and MGP12,13,14. Interestingly, under pathological conditions, secreted EVs have a pro-calcifying profile and thereby act as nucleating foci for hydroxyapatite crystallization and propagation11,15. Electron Microscopy based studies revealed that EVs were embedded between collagen and elastin fibrils of arterial walls suggesting that calcification can be initiated through the EVs’ direct physical interaction with them13,16. We previously showed that a specific oligogalacturonic acid with a degree of polymerization of 8 (DP8) was able to inhibit vascular calcification. This inhibition was partly due to a decrease of osteogenic markers’s expression but also to the masking of a consensus sequence found in COL1 i.e. GFOGER sequence, thus preventing EVs from binding to COL1. Although the use of DP8 in-vivo seems to be compromised due to probable enzymatic digestion, these results suggested that the inhibition of VSMCs’ osteogenic switch and the prevention of EVs-COL1 interaction could represent new potential therapeutic targets for inhibiting VC17. Since we have already showed that the triple-helical GFOGER consensus sequence forms a preferential binding site for EVs17, we thereby chemically synthesized a GFOGER peptide in order to determine its ability to inhibit VC on VSMCs and on an aortic ring ex-vivo model. We also aim to decipher the mechanisms of inhibition by investigating the osteogenic markers’ expression as well as the protein content of secreted EVs in the presence of the GFOGER peptide.
