Project description:Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is the etiology of ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction. Ribosome-depleted total RNA was sequenced from carotid plaques obtained from patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy with high-grade stenosis and either 1) a carotid-related ischemic cerebrovascular event within the previous 5 days ('recently ruptured,' n=6) or 2) an absence of a cerebrovascular event ('asymptomatic,' n=5). Examination of the differentially expressed genes supported the importance of inflammation and inhibition of proliferation and migration coupled with an increase in apoptosis. Thus, the transcriptome of recently ruptured plaques is enriched with transcripts associated with inflammation and fibrous cap thinning and support further examination of the role of B lymphocytes and interferons in atherosclerotic plaque rupture.

Project description:One pending issue in cardiovascular epigenetics is whether cerebrovascular events, a major complication of atherosclerosis, are associated with any specific DNA methylation changes in the carotid plaque. To clarify that topic, we profiled the DNA methylomes of human symptomatic carotid plaques (SCPs) obtained from patients who suffered cerebrovascular events (n=19) and asymptomatic counterparts (ACP; n=19) with a high-density microarray (~485,000 CpG sites, Illumina), and crossed DNA methylation data with RNAseq-based expression data from an independent SCP set (n=8). Few (30) CpGs showed a significant (p<0.05; absolute Delta-Beta>0.20) differential methylation between the two groups. Within SCPs, methylation correlated significantly with post-cerebrovascular event time (PCET; range: 3-45 days; r-value range -0.926 to 0.857; p<0.05) for ~45,000 CpGs, the vast majority of which became hypomethylated with increasing PCET. Hypomethylation was not due to erasure of the gene-body and CG-poor region hypermethylation that accompany the progression of stable lesions, but rather targeted promoters and CpG islands. Noticeably, promoter hypomethylation and increased expression were observed for genes involved in the inhibition of the inflammatory response, defence against oxidative stress and active DNA demethylation. Our data show that only weak changes in the DNA methylome distinguish symptomatic from asymptomatic carotid plaques, but a widespread demethylation resulting in permissive transcriptional marks at atheroprotective gene promoters is established in plaques after a cerebrovascular event, thus mirroring previous observations that ruptured plaques tend to revert to a more stable structure. The identified loci are candidate targets to accelerate the pace of carotid plaque stabilization.

DNA was quantified by Quant-iT PicoGreen dsDNA Reagent (Invitrogen) and the integrity was analyzed in a 1.3% agarose gel. Bisulfite conversion of 600 ng of each sample was perform according to the manufacturer's recommendation for Illumina Infinium Assay. Effective bisulphite conversion was checked for three controls that were converted simultaneously with the samples. 4 ul of bisulfite converted DNA were used to hybridize on Infinium HumanMethylation 450 BeadChip, following Illumina Infinium HD Methylation protocol. Chip analysis was performed using Illumina HiScan SQ fluorescent scanner. The intensities of the images are extracted using GenomeStudio (2011.2) Methylation module (1.8.5) software. Methylation score of each CpG is represented as beta value.

Project description:Protein profiles were determined from different distinct regions of human atherosclerotic plaques, including: internal control, fatty streak, plaque shoulder, plaque centre, and fibrous cap. Protein extracts from all 5 regions, from 3 men and 3 women, were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (in total 30 2-DE gels). Stained gels were matched by protein spot distribution, and a protein mapping was performed to identify as many protein spots as possible, by MALDI-TOF MS / peptide mass fingerprinting (Voyager DE Pro; Applied Biosystems). This resulted in the identification of 97 protein spots, corresponding to 52 unique protein by accession number. To expand on this nLC-MS/MS (Easy-nLC / LTQ Orbitrap Velos Pro; Thermo Fisher Scientific) experiments were run on additional carotid plaque samples from 10 men and 10 women, using three of the predefined regions; internal control, fatty streak, plaque core. MS/MS analysis resulted in the identification of over 1000 proteins. Human carotid atherosclerotic plaques (n = 26) were obtained from the Linköping Carotid Study, and all methods/protocols described herein have been approved by the local ethics committee (Linköping University Hospital, Linköping, Sweden). Written informed consent was also obtained from all patients.

Project description:Atherosclerotic plaques belong to the common vascular disease in the aged, which rupture will lead to acute thromboembolic diseases, the major reason for fatal cardiovascular events. Accumulating evidence indicates that lncRNAs exert critical functions in atherosclerosis. To identify novel astherosclerotic plaques-relevant lncRNAs, four specimens of carotid atherosclerotic plaque were collected, and endovascular tissue one centimeter far from the carotid atherosclerotic plaque was taken as a control group, we performed lncRNA microarray analysis using Affymetrix Human OElncRNA

Project description:The objective of this study is to identify genes and pathways involved in the progression of atherosclerotic plaques from early to advanced stage in humans. Samples from atherosclerotic carotid artery segments, from early ((pathological) intimal thickening and intimal xanthoma) and from advanced (thin or thick fibrous cap atheroma) lesions, have been retrieved from the Maastricht Pathology Tissue Collection (MPTC). Tissue was obtained during autopsy (Dept of Pathology, Maastricht University Medical Centre). Collection, storage in the Maastricht Pathology Tissue Collection (MPTC) and use of tissue and patient data were performed in agreement with the "Code for Proper Secondary Use of Human Tissue"

Project description:The carotid body is a chemoreceptor that senses decreases in blood oxygen to increase breathing in hypoxia. To look for candidate oxygen sensors in the carotid body, we compared the gene expression of the carotid body to the adrenal medulla, a similar tissue that does not have oxygen sensitivity in adults.
