Project description:Transcriptome analysis was carried out to characterise the different responses of diabetic and non-diabetic WT and p75KO mice to ischemia C57BL/6J-p75NTR-/- (p75KO) and p75NTR+/+ (WT) littermates were bred starting from breeding pairs. Six to seven week old male p75KO and WT mice were made diabetic using streptozotocin (STZ, 40 mg/kg in 0.1mol/l citrate buffer pH4.5 i.p. per day for 5 days or left normoglycemic by STZ buffer injections. One or three months after diabetes induction, anesthetized mice underwent unilateral hindlimb ischemia by permanent ligation and electro-coagulation of the proximal end of femoral arteries. At the same time, full thickness wounds were created in the thigh dorsal skin of both legs using a sterile 5-mm-wide biopsy punch. Samples for gene expression analysis were taken from the wounds three days later.

Project description:The initial factor in the occurrence, development, and prognosis of cerebral ischemia is vascular dysfunction in the brain, and vascular remodeling of the brain is the key therapeutic target and strategy for ischemic tissue repair. Limb remote ischemic preconditioning exhibits potential pleiotropic protective effects in many brain-related diseases, including stroke.Whether limb remote ischemic preconditioning has other effects such as vascular protective effects and the detailed mechanism by which limb remote ischemic preconditioning improves pathology and angiogenesis in cerebral ischemia remains to be further elucidated. The present study was designed to investigate whether limb remote ischemic preconditioning protects vascular structure and promotes angiogenesis in cerebral ischemic rats.

Project description:Compromised muscle mitochondrial metabolism is a hallmark of peripheral arterial disease, especially in patients with the most severe clinical manifestation - critical limb ischemia (CLI). We asked whether inflexibility in metabolism is critical for the development of myopathy in ischemic limb muscles. Using Polg mtDNA mutator (D257A) mice, we reveal remarkable protection from hind limb ischemia (HLI) due to a unique and beneficial adaptive enhancement of glycolytic metabolism and elevated ischemic muscle PFKFB3. Similar to the relationship between mitochondria from CLI and claudicating patient muscles, BALB/c muscle mitochondria are uniquely dysfunctional after HLI onset as compared with the C57BL/6 (BL6) parental strain. AAV-mediated overexpression of PFKFB3 in BALB/c limb muscles improved muscle contractile function and limb blood flow following HLI. Enrichment analysis of RNA sequencing data on muscle from CLI patients revealed a unique deficit in the glucose metabolism Reactome. Muscles from these patients express lower PFKFB3 protein, and their muscle progenitor cells possess decreased glycolytic flux capacity in vitro. Here, we show supplementary glycolytic flux as sufficient to protect against ischemic myopathy in instances where reduced blood flow-related mitochondrial function is compromised preclinically. Additionally, our data reveal reduced glycolytic flux as a common characteristic of the failing CLI patient limb skeletal muscle.

Project description:Vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGF-B) is an interesting therapeutic candidate for coronary artery disease. However, it can also cause ventricular arrhythmias, potentially preventing its use in clinics. We cloned VEGF-B isoforms with different receptor binding profiles to clarify the roles of VEGFR-1 and Nrp-1 in angiogenesis and to see if angiogenic properties can be maintained while avoiding side effects. VEGF-B constructs were studied in vivo using adenovirus (Ad)-mediated intramyocardial gene transfers into the normoxic and ischemic porcine heart (n = 51). It was found that the unprocessed isoform VEGF-B186R127S is as efficient angiogenic growth factor as the native VEGF-B186 in normoxic and ischemic heart. In addition, AdVEGF-B186R127S increased myocardial perfusion reserve by 22% in ischemic heart without any side effects. AdVEGF-B127 (VEGFR-1 and Nrp-1 ligand) and AdVEGF-B109 (VEGFR-1 ligand) did not induce angiogenesis. Thus, VEGF-B186 is angiogenic only before its proteolytic processing to VEGF-B127. Only the VEGF-B186 C-terminal fragment was associated with arrhythmias.

Project description:AimsPeripheral artery disease is a complication of diabetes leading to critical hindlimb ischemia. Diabetes-induced inhibition of VEGF actions is associated with the activation of protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ). We aim to specifically investigate the role of PKCδ in endothelial cell (EC) function and VEGF signaling.MethodsNondiabetic and diabetic mice, with (ec-Prkcd-/-) or without (ec-Prkcdf/f) endothelial deletion of PKCδ, underwent femoral artery ligation. Blood flow reperfusion was assessed up to 4 weeks post-surgery. Capillary density, EC apoptosis and VEGF signaling were evaluated in the ischemic muscle. Src homology region 2 domain-containing phosphatase-1 (SHP-1) phosphatase activity was assessed in vitro using primary ECs.ResultsIschemic muscle of diabetic ec-Prkcdf/f mice exhibited reduced blood flow reperfusion and capillary density while apoptosis increased as compared to nondiabetic ec-Prkcdf/f mice. In contrast, blood flow reperfusion and capillary density were significantly improved in diabetic ec-Prkcd-/- mice. VEGF signaling pathway was restored in diabetic ec-Prkcd-/- mice. The deletion of PKCδ in ECs prevented diabetes-induced VEGF unresponsiveness through a reduction of SHP-1 phosphatase activity.ConclusionsOur data provide new highlights in mechanisms by which PKCδ activation in EC contributed to poor collateral vessel formation, thus, offering novel therapeutic targets to improve angiogenesis in the diabetic limb.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:At present, the absence of a pharmacological neuroprotectant represents an important unmet clinical need in the treatment of ischemic and traumatic brain injury. Recent evidence suggests that administration of apolipoprotein E mimetic therapies represent a viable therapeutic strategy in this setting. We investigate the neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties of the apolipoprotein E mimetic pentapeptide, CN-105, in a microglial cell line and murine model of ischemic stroke. METHODS:Ten to 13-week-old male C57/BL6 mice underwent transient middle cerebral artery occlusion and were randomly selected to receive CN-105 (0.1 mg/kg) in 100 ?L volume or vehicle via tail vein injection at various time points. Survival, motor-sensory functional outcomes using rotarod test and 4-limb wire hanging test, infarct volume assessment using 2,3,5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining method, and microglial activation in the contralateral hippocampus using F4/80 immunostaining were assessed at various time points. In vitro assessment of tumor necrosis factor-alpha secretion in a microglial cell line was performed, and phosphoproteomic analysis conducted to explore early mechanistic pathways of CN-105 in ischemic stroke. RESULTS:Mice receiving CN-105 demonstrated improved survival, improved functional outcomes, reduced infarct volume, and reduced microglial activation. CN-105 also suppressed inflammatory cytokines secretion in microglial cells in vitro. Phosphoproteomic signals suggest that CN-105 reduces proinflammatory pathways and lower oxidative stress. INTERPRETATION:CN-105 improves functional and histological outcomes in a murine model of ischemic stroke via modulation of neuroinflammatory pathways. Recent clinical trial of this compound has demonstrated favorable pharmacokinetic and safety profile, suggesting that CN-105 represents an attractive candidate for clinical translation.

Project description:The risk of type 2 diabetes increases with age. Although changes in function and proliferation of aged beta cells resemble those preceding the development of diabetes, the contribution of beta cell aging and senescence remains unclear. The proportion of aged beta cells increases with animal age but even in young mice, senescent beta cells can be found. We showed that different models of insulin resistance accelerated aging and senescence marker expression in beta cells, BGal, led to loss of function and impaired glucose tolerance. Clearance of p16Ink4a+ cells, using the INK-ATTAC mouse model, ameliorated glucose metabolism, insulin secretion and decreased expression of aging, senescence and SASP genes in pancreatic islets. Senolytic drug ABT263 also improved glucose metabolism and beta cell identity when administered during insulin resistance. Human beta cells from diabetic and non-diabetic donors shared some of the same biology laying the foundation for translation into humans. These novel findings lay the framework to pursue senolysis of beta cells as a preventive and alleviating strategy for T2D.
