Decoding the transcriptome of calcified atherosclerotic plaque at single-cell resolution

ABSTRACT: Atherogenesis involves an interplay of inflammation, tissue remodeling and cellular transdifferentiation (CTD), making it especially difficult to precisely delineate its pathophysiology. Here we examine the single-cell transcriptome of entire calcified atherosclerotic core (AC) plaques and patient-matched proximal adjacent (PA) portions of carotid artery tissue from patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy. We use a novel tissue dissociation strategy, single-cell RNA sequencing, and systems-biology approaches to analyze the transcriptional profiles of six main cell populations and identify key gene drivers of pathogenic biological processes in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs).

RNA expression data from calcified human carotid atherosclerotic plaques

Project description:Although unstable atherosclerosis in the carotid bifurcation is a significant etiology behind ischemic stroke, clinical imaging methods to distinguish stable from vulnerable lesions are lacking and selection of patients for stroke-preventive intervention still relies on surrogate variables with moderate predictive power, such as the degree of luminal narrowing. Here we combined clinical and diagnostic imaging information by comuted tomography to select patients with calcified plaques for large scale molecular analysis, in an effort to increase our understanding of the pathophysiology behind carotid plaque instability as related to patient- and plaque- phenotype.

Human Normal & Diseased Cardiovascular Tissue

Project description:Fewer than 50% of patients develop vascular and valvular calcification, implying differential pathogenesis. Disease stage-specific proteomics (normal/non-diseased/fibrotic/calcified areas) was performed on human carotid artery specimens from autopsy, carotid endarterectomy specimens, aortic valves from heart transplant recipients, and stenotic aortic valves.

Multi-platform approach for plaque-derived biomarkers for the vulnerable plaque. Challenges and promises.

Project description:Plaque rupture and subsequent thrombus formation is responsible for the majority of clinical complications of atherosclerosis and nonetheless our understanding of what underlies plaque vulnerability and rupture is still sparse and mostly deductively based on animal models and in vitro studies. We adopted five different -omics platforms to compare ruptured atherosclerotic and advanced-stable tissue within the same carotid plaque specimen from 24 carotid endarterectomy patients. Segments designated as stable feature either a fibrous cap atheroma or pathological intimal thickening. Segments designated as ruptured include a thrombus and/or presented intraplaque hemorrhage. For the present study only those samples were selected for further analysis that were flanked by two segments of identical classification, be it stable (S) or ruptured (R); and were derived from CEA specimen that contained plaque segments of both classifications.

MiRNA expression profile in murine advanced atherosclerotic plaque compared with early atherosclerotic plaque

Project description:Aberrantly expressed miRNAs contribute to developmental abnormalities and diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders, by hybridizing to specific mRNA targets and repressing their translation into proteins. Although miRNA expression signature is characterized in the process of neointimal thickening during proliferative vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, so far global miRNA expression profiling in the different stages of atherosclerosis is completely unknown. We explored stage-specific microRNA signatures in the progress of atherosclerosis in hyperlipidemia mouse model, which may help to identify the critical miRNAs contributing atherosclerotic development and stabilization. Female apoe-/- mice (6-8 weeks, Jackson Laboratory) were fed a high fat diet (HFD, 21% crude fat, 0.15% cholesterol and 19.5% casein, Altromin, Germany) for 3 or 10 months (N=3-4). Serial sections (20 µm thick) of aortic roots and carotid arteries from these mice were mounted on membrane mounted metal frame slides (MMI), deparaffinized under RNase-free conditions, and completely dried. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was performed with a laser microdissection system (MMI cellcut plus, Molecular Machines and Industries, Switzerland) assembled onto an inverted microscope (Olympus IX71). Plaque tissue or morphologically normal vessel wall of at least 40 sections per mouse were collected. RNA was isolated using RecoverAll total nucleic acid isolation kit (Applied Biosystems) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Gene expression profiling of human atherosclerotic plaque: Carotid plaque

Project description:In order to identify potential new biomarkers of atherosclerotic plaque composition we performed a large scale analysis of gene expression patterns in human atherosclerotic lesions. Whole genome expression analysis of 101 peripheral plaques identified a robust gene signature (1514 genes) dominated by inflammatory processes, and cholesterol metabolism and storage genes. Specific pathways enriched in this signature included activation of the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, T-cell activation, cholesterol efflux, oxidative stress response, inflammatory cytokine production, vasoconstriction and lysosomal activity. Analysis of gene expression in plaque micro-dissected material revealed that the signature is strongly up-regulated in macrophage-rich regions and down-regulated in regions with high smooth muscle cell content. A smaller qPCR biomarker panel and inflammatory composite score (ICS) were developed to facilitate clinical translation of discoveries from gene expression profiling. We found that ICS correlates with histological features related to plaque vulnerability. In addition, ICS is able to separate groups of plaques obtained from symptomatic and asymptomatic patients undergoing carotid endarerectomy. In summary, we identified a robust mRNA biomarker panel associated with histo-pathological as well as clinical hallmarks of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque. This panel may be used as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in clinical setting to evaluate novel anti-atherosclerotic therapies. 6 human carotid plaques were sectioned in 1 mm thick slices. Alternative slices were used for gene expression profiling in Affymetrix/Merck custom 1.0 arrays (GPL10687), or for immunohistochemistry studies (CD68, Actin)
