Project description:Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP) inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) from normal subjects. Dysfunction of BMP signaling due to mutations in and/or downregulation of BMP receptors has been implicated in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). We examined whether BMP differentially regulates gene expression in PASMC from normal subjects and IPAH patients using the Affymetrix microarray analysis. BMP-2 treatment (200 nM for 24 hrs) altered expression levels of 6,206 genes in normal and IPAH PASMC. 1,063 of these genes were regulated oppositely by BMP-2: 523 genes were downregulated by BMP-2 in normal PASMC but upregulated in IPAH PASMC, whereas 540 genes were upregulated by BMP-2 in normal PASMC but downregulated in IPAH PASMC. The divergent effects of BMP-2 on gene expression profiles indicate that PASMC may undergo significant phenotypic changes in IPAH patients during development of the disease. The transition of the antiproliferative effect of BMP-2 in normal PASMC to its proliferative effect in IPAH patients is attributed potentially to its differential effect on expression patterns of various genes that are involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis. Among the 6206 BMP-2-sensitive genes, there are more than 1800 genes whose expression levels were negatively (with a correlation coefficient, r, < –0.9) or positively (with r > +0.9) correlated with the pulmonary arterial pressure. These results suggest that BMP-mediated gene regulation is significantly altered in PASMC from IPAH patients and mRNA expression changes in BMP-regulated genes may be involved in the development of IPAH.

Project description:Whole genome microRNA microarray expression profiling was employed as a discovery platform to identify microRNAs dysregulated in end-stage idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) patients. Lung tissue from seven IPAH patients and eight failed donor controls were subjected to microarray screening. Twenty-one miRNAs were identified dyeregulated in IPAH patients compared to controls. In miRNA real-time PCR validation, 22 IPAH patients and 22 control subjects were enrolled, including the 7 IPAH and 8 controls in microarray screening. Expression levels of five miRNAs (let-7a-5p, miR-199a-3p, miR-199b-5p, miR-26b-5p and miR-27b-3p) were upregulated in technical validation. Tissue miRNA levels had positive correlation with pulmonary vascular remodeling and hemodynamic changes in IPAH patients compared to controls.

Project description:Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc) and a leading cause of mortality among patients with this disease. PH can also occur as an idiopathic condition (idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, iPAH). We sought to investigate the transcriptomic alterations in PH vascular populations to understand cellular mechanisms underlying pathobiology of systemic sclerosis associated and idiopathic pulmonary hypertension.

Project description:Objective: Pulmonary complications in systemic sclerosis (SSc), including pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), are the leading cause of mortality. We compared the molecular fingerprint of SSc lung tissues and matching primary lung fibroblasts to those of normal donors, and patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). Methods: Lung tissues were obtained from 33 patients with SSc who underwent lung transplantation. Tissues and cells from a subgroup of SSc patients with predominantly PF or PAH were compared to those from normal donors, patients with IPF, or IPAH. Microarray data was analyzed using Efficiency Analysis for determination of optimal data processing methods. Real time PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to confirm differential levels of mRNA and protein, respectively. Results: We identified a consensus of 242 and 335 genes that were differentially expressed in lungs and primary fibroblasts, respectively. Enriched function groups in SSc-PF and IPF lungs included fibrosis, insulin-like growth factor signaling and caveolin-mediated endocytosis. Functional groups shared by SSc-PAH and IPAH lungs included antigen presentation, chemokine activity, and IL-17 signaling. Conclusion: Using microarray analysis on carefully phenotyped SSc and comparator lung tissues, we demonstrated distinct molecular profiles in tissues and fibroblasts of patients with SSc-associated lung disease compared to idiopathic forms of lung disease. Unique molecular signatures were generated that are disease- (SSc) and phenotype- (PF vs PAH) specific. These signatures provide new insights into pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets for SSc lung disease.

Project description:Idiopathic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (IPAH) is a severe human disease, characterized by extensive pulmonary vascular remodeling due to plexiform and obliterative lesions, media hypertrophy, and alterations of adventitia. The objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that microscopic IPAH vascular lesions express unique molecular profiles, which collectively are different from control pulmonary arteries. We used digital spatial transcriptomics to profile the genome-wide differential transcriptomic signature of key pathological lesions (plexiform, obliterative, intima+media hypertrophy, and adventitia) in IPAH lungs (n= 11) and compared these data to the intima+media and adventitia of control pulmonary artery (n=5). The IPAH lesions and pulmonary artery compartments were defined by the analyses of hematoxylin-eosin stained serial section, aided by labeling with CD31 (for endothelial cells), smooth muscle cell actin (SMA), and CD45 for inflammatory mononuclear cells, also in serial sections. Approximately 12 regions of interest (ROI) were sampled from a histological section of a paraffin-embedded block of each lung, which was selected based on the finding of enrichment for IPAH lesions or control pulmonary arteries.

Project description:The hypothesis tested in this study was that chronic exposure of PBMCs to a hypertensive environment in remodeled pulmonary vessels would be reflected by specific transcriptional changes in these cells. The transcript profiles of PBMCs from 30 idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension patients (IPAH), 19 patients with systemic sclerosis without pulmonary hypertension (SSc), 42 scleroderma-associated PAH patients (SSc-PAH), and 8 patients with SSc complicated by interstitial lung disease and PH (SSC-PH-ILD) were compared to the gene expression profiles of PBMCs from 41 healthy individuals. Gene expression is compared at a global level using total RNA from BPMC for pateints and controls using the Illumina microarray platform.

Project description:Despite recent improvements in management of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, mortality remains high. Understanding the alterations in the transcriptome–phenotype of the key lung cells involved could provide insight into the drivers of pathogenesis. In this study, we examined differential gene expression of cell types implicated in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension from lung explants of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension compared to control lungs. After tissue digestion, we analyzed all cells from three idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension and six control lungs using droplet-based single cell RNA-sequencing. After dimensional reduction by t-stochastic neighbor embedding, we compared the transcriptomes of endothelial cells, pericyte/smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, and macrophage clusters, examining differential gene expression and pathways implicated by analysis of Gene Ontology Enrichment. We found that endothelial cells and pericyte/smooth muscle cells had the most differentially expressed gene profile compared to other cell types. Top differentially upregulated genes in endothelial cells included novel genes: ROBO4, APCDD1, NDST1, MMRN2, NOTCH4, and DOCK6, as well as previously reported genes: ENG, ORAI2, TFDP1, KDR, AMOTL2, PDGFB, FGFR1, EDN1, and NOTCH1. Several transcription factors were also found to be upregulated in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension endothelial cells including SOX18, STRA13, LYL1, and ELK, which have known roles in regulating endothelial cell phenotype. In particular, SOX18 was implicated through bioinformatics analyses in regulating the idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension endothelial cell transcriptome. Furthermore, idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension endothelial cells upregulated expression of FAM60A and HDAC7, potentially affecting epigenetic changes in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension endothelial cells. Pericyte/smooth muscle cells expressed genes implicated in regulation of cellular apoptosis and extracellular matrix organization, and several ligands for genes showing increased expression in endothelial cells. In conclusion, our study represents the first detailed look at the transcriptomic landscape across idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension lung cells and provides robust insight into alterations that occur in vivo in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension lungs.
