Notch receptor expression in Trypanosoma cruzi infected Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells treated with benznidazole or aspirin as revealed by microarray analysis

Project description:Chagas disease is a parasitic infection originally endemic to latinamerican countries but now spreaded worldwide that can be transmitted congenitally. Current specific therapy involves benznidazole, however, other therapies may modify gene expression that can change genetic expression profile, allowing cell programming to provide a more unfavorable environment for intracellular parasite development. Herein, microarray analysis was performed to Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC), treated with benznidazole and the anti-inflammatory drugs aspirin or simvastatin, and infected with T. cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease.

Beneficial effect of simvastatin on human umbilical vein endothelial cells gap junctions induced by TNF-α.

Project description:Although simvastatin has been shown to inhibit vascular permeability, which might be amplified via gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC), the underlying mechanism of action remains unclear. In the present study, we investigated the effects and mechanisms of simvastatin on endothelial cells GJIC. Specifically, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were stimulated with TNF-α (10 ng/mL) alone or in combination with simvastatin (5 µM), and their effects on vascular endothelial cell GJIC tested via the scrape loading/dye transfer (SL/DT) assay. Next, we performed immunofluorescence, real-time PCR and western blot assays to analyze expression of Cx37, Cx40 and Cx43 in HUVECs. Results showed that GJIC activity in HUVECs was markedly elevated in HUVECs treated with TNF-α in combination with simvastatin. In addition, simvastatin treatment significantly upregulated expression of Cx37 and Cx40 but downregulated Cx43 mRNAs and proteins. Taken together, these marked changes indicated that simvastatin exerts its regulatory effects on gap junction function by upregulating Cx37 and Cx40 and downregulating Cx43 expression.

Effect of from Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

Project description:We profiled global gene expression in primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells to determine the gene expression changes associated with knocking down PKM2 and p53. We identified a p53 dependent transcriptional response that remodels metabolism in cells lacking p53, thus limiting cell growth. Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells were transfected with siRNA duplexes targeting PKM2 and / or p53, RNA was extracted and subjected to RNA sequencing

Statins modulate endothelial transcriptional profile by inhibiting EZH2

Project description:Statins protect against the development of atherosclerosis via cholesterol-dependent and –independent mechanisms. Understanding the molecular mechanisms mediating simvastatin induced atheroprotective effects is critical for designing anti-atherosclerotic agents. Here, we showed that simvastatin decreases the expression of the Polycomb methyltransferase EZH2 in endothelial cells. To better understand the influence of the simvastatin-induced EZH2 downregulation on endothelial transcriptome, we performed RNA-sequencing study to evaluate differential gene expression after overexpression of EZH2 in the presence of simvastatin treatment. We found simvastatin treatment altered a subset of genes that can be rescued with EZH2 overexpression. Therefore, simvastatin treated endothelial cells display an atheroprotective phenotype by downregulating EZH2.

SIMVASTATIN ATTENUATES LIVER INJURY IN RODENTS WITH BILIARY CIRRHOSIS SUBMITTED TO HEMORRHAGE/RESUSCITATION

Project description:In variceal bleeding liver function deterioration is a major cause of death. The effects of bleeding on intrahepatic microvascular dysfunction, which contributes to liver injury in cirrhosis, are largely unknown. The aims of this study were to evaluate the impact of hemorrhage/resuscitation (H/R) on cirrhotic microcirculation, and whether simvastatin, a drug that improves liver microcirculation, has hepatoprotective effects. The study was performed in three groups of rats: controls, rats with biliary cirrhosis (CBDL) and CBDL rats pre-treated with 3 doses (5 mg*Kg-1*day-1) of simvastatin. Rats were submitted to H/R or sham procedure. Subsequently, livers were isolated and perfused for functional assessment of liver microcirculation. Liver transcriptome was assessed with microarrays. H/R significantly impaired endothelial-dependent vasorelaxation in cirrhotic (p=0.035) but not control livers. H/R induced a similar increase in ALT in control and cirrhotic rats, whereas the increase in AST was 10 times higher in cirrhotic than in control rats (p=0.007). Simvastatin prevented the impairment in endothelial-dependent vasorelaxation induced by H/R, and reduced by half the increase in ALT and AST (p<0.05). Transcriptomics showed a marked upregulation of genes related to inflammatory response after H/R in cirrhotic livers, but not in controls, and this was blunted by simvastatin. In conclusion, H/R aggravates liver microvascular dysfunction in cirrhosis, and upregulates liver inflammatory pathways. This does not occur in control livers. Simvastatin prevented H/R-induced liver endothelial dysfunction, and attenuated liver injury and liver inflammatory response, suggesting that it might have potential for protecting the cirrhotic liver during bleeding complications.

Oxidoreductase transcript data from human umbilical vein endothelial cells

Project description:Oxidoreductase enzymes are critical to redox regulation of intracellular proteins within human cells. We used microarrays to identify which oxidreducatse genes are expressed in unstimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were grown under optimal conditions and then RNA extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays.

Simvastatin treated Lymphoblastoid Cell lines from Cholesterol and Pharmacogenomics (CAP) Trial

Project description:Statins reduce cardiovascular disease risk by lowering plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol. To identify novel pathways that modulate statin response, we assessed the influence of simvastatin exposure on expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) associations across the genome in 480 lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). Cell lines were derived blood samples collected ant entry visit from participants in the Cholesterol and Pharmacogenomics (CAP) trial, who underwent a 6 week 40mg/day simvastatin trial. We identified 4590 cis-eQTLS that were independent of treatment status (FDR=1%) and six cis-eQTLS for which there was evidence of an interaction with treatment (FDR=20%). Genotypes and Phenotypes derived from these indivudals are available through dbGaP (Accession Number). eQTL results are available at: http://eqtl.uchicago.edu/cgi=bin/gbrowse/eqtl/ Dataset consists of 960 expression beadarrays (Illumina HumanRef-8v3) representing paired samples derived from 24-hour exposures of 480 lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) to 2 micromolar simvastatin acid or control buffer.
