Fibroblast SPP1 mediates ECM deposition and inhibits SMC contractility in MFS aortic aneurysm

ABSTRACT: Mutations in the Fbn1 gene cause Marfan Syndrome (MFS) and are associated with excessive transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) signalling activation, which contributes to extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis disruption, thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and dissection development. In this study, we aimed to explore the underlying events contributing to ECM metabolism imbalance and TAA and dissection formation in MFS. We performed sequencing analysis and investigated differentially expressed genes as well as cellular communication using CellChat. Fourteen ECM-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. Among the 14 genes, secreted phosphoprotein 1 (Spp1) was involved in multiple pathological processes. We then stimulated primary mouse perivascular fibroblasts and aortic SMCs with recombinant Spp1 and recorded increased collagen expression in fibroblasts and decreased expression of Acta2 and Tagln in SMCs. We also investigated SPP1 levels in healthy controls and patients with TAA and found that elevated SPP1 levels were associated with an increased risk of TAA. Our results have indicated that Spp1 regulates ECM changes in fibroblasts and SMCs contractility during TAA. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the literature because our results suggest that Spp1 may serve as a potential target for TAA treatment.

Dissecting aortic aneurysm in Marfan syndrome is associated with losartan-sensitive transcriptomic modulation of aortic cells

Project description:To improve our limited understanding of the pathogenesis of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) leading to acute aortic dissection, we used single-cell RNA sequencing to profile disease-relevant transcriptomic changes of aortic cell populations in a well-characterized mouse model of the most commonly diagnosed form of Marfan syndrome (MFS). As result,MFSmod were identified only in the aorta of Fbn1mgR/mgR mice. In situ hybridizations of diagnostic transcripts located MFSmod cells to the intima of Fbn1mgR/mgR aortas. Consistent with angiotensin II type I receptor (At1r) contribution to TAA development, MFSmod cells were absent in the aorta of Fbn1mgR/mgR mice treated with the At1r antagonist losartan. Altogether, our findings indicate that a discrete dynamic alteration of aortic cell identity is associated with dissecting TAA in MFS mice and increased risk of aortic dissection in MFS patients.

Inhibition of Intimal CX3CR1+ Macrophages Mitigates Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Progression in Marfan Syndrome

Project description:Current understanding on the pathogenesis of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) in Marfan Syndrome (MFS) mainly focuses on vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) pathologies. Whether immune cell-mediated inflammation drives the progression of TAAs is still elusive. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, a subset of macrophages highly expressing CX3CR1 and mainly locating in the aortic intima was identified in aortic root and ascending aortas from Fbn1C1041G/+ mice, and further validated in MFS patients. Specific elimination of CX3CR1+ macrophages by diphtheria toxin in Cx3cr1-CreERT2iDTRF/+Fbn1C1041G/+ mice efficiently ameliorated TAA progression, suggesting their pathogenic action. Using monoclonal antibodies Adalimumab and Teprotumumab to respectively neutralize the proinflammatory cytokines TNFalpha and IGF1 produced by CX3CR1+ macrophages from MFS patients substantially suppressed CX3CR1+ macrophage-mediated inflammation in MFS patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived VSMCs. Furthermore, bone marrow transplantation and parabiosis using Cx3cr1GFP/+ mice revealed the intimal CX3CR1+ macrophages derived from circulating monocytes. Administration of CCR2 antagonist RS504393 to inhibit monocyte infiltration significantly reduced intimal CX3CR1+ macrophages and subsequently alleviated TAA development in Fbn1C1041G/+ mice. In conclusion, intimal CX3CR1+ macrophages mediated TAA formation through paracrinally causing VSMC inflammation. Targeting intimal CX3CR1+ macrophages would be a promising anti-inflammatory strategy in TAA therapy for MFS.

ScRNA-seq of Sting-KO Mice Identifies Smooth Muscle Cell Phenotypic Alterations in Aortic Aneurysms and Dissections

Project description:ScRNA-seq analysis revealed that aortic stress induced the transition of SMCs from a primary contractile phenotype to proliferative, extracellular matrix (ECM)-producing, inflammatory, and dying phenotypes. Lineage tracing showed the complete transformation of SMCs to fibroblasts and macrophages. ScATAC-seq analysis indicated that these phenotypic alterations were controlled by chromatin remodeling marked by the reduced chromatin accessibility of contractile genes and the induced chromatin accessibility of genes involved in ECM, inflammation, and cell death. IRF3, a pro-inflammatory transcription factor activated by cytosolic DNA, was identified as a key driver for the transition of aortic SMCs from a contractile phenotype to an inflammatory phenotype. In cultured SMCs, cytosolic DNA signaled through its sensor STING-TBK1 to activate IRF3, which bound and recruited EZH2 to contractile genes to induce repressive H3K27me3 modification and contractile gene suppression. In contrast, dsDNA-STING-IRF3 signaling induced inflammatory gene expression in SMCs. In Sting-/- mice, the aortic stress–induced transition of SMCs into an inflammatory phenotype was prevented, and SMC populations were preserved. Finally, profound SMC phenotypic alterations in diverse directions were detected in human ATAAD tissues.

Murine Marfan Syndrome Sildenafil Treatment

Project description:Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a connective tissue disorder caused by mutations in the fibrillin-1 (Fbn1) gene. While aortic rupture is the major cause of mortality in MFS, patients also suffer from poorly understood pulmonary complications. Loss of basal nitric oxide (NO) production and vascular integrity are proposed to take part in MFS aortic root disease, yet their contribution to lung complications has yet to be determined. Due to its capacity to potentiate the vasodilatory NO/cyclic guanylate monophosphate signaling pathway, we assessed whether the phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor sildenafil (SIL) could attenuate aortic root remodelling and emphysema in a mouse model of MFS. Despite increasing NO-dependent vasodilation, SIL unexpectedly elevated mean arterial blood pressure, failed to inhibit MFS aortic root dilation and exacerbated elastic fibrefiber fragmentation. In the lung, early pulmonary artery dilation observed in untreated MFS mice was delayed by SIL treatment, and severe emphysema-like alveolar destruction was prevented. In addition, improvements in select parameters of lung function were documented. Subsequent micro-array analyses showed changes to gene signatures involved in the inflammatory response in MFS lung treated with SIL, without significant downregulation of connective tissue or TGF-β signalling genes. Since PDE5 inhibition leads to improved lung histopathology and function, the effects of SIL against emphysema warrant further investigation in the settings of MFS despite limited efficacy on aortic root remodelling.

ECM characterization of aortas from Adamts5+/+ and Adamts5∆cat AngII-treated mice by LC-MS/MS

Project description:Objective - Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA), a degenerative disease of the aortic wall, is accompanied by changes in the structure and composition of the aortic extracellular matrix (ECM). The ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) family has recently been implicated in TAA formation. This study aimed to investigate the contribution of ADAMTS-5 to TAA development. Approach and Results - A model of aortic dilatation by angiotensin II (AngII) infusion was adopted in mice lacking the catalytic domain of ADAMTS-5 (Adamts5Δcat). Adamts5Δcat mice showed an attenuated rise in blood pressure whilst displaying increased dilatation of the ascending aorta. Interestingly, a comparison of the aortic ECM from AngII-treated wildtype and Adamts5Δcat mice revealed versican as the most up-regulated ECM protein in Adamts5Δcat mice. This was accompanied by a marked reduction of ADAMTS-specific versican cleavage products (versikine) and a decrease of low-density lipoprotein-related protein 1 (LRP1). Silencing LRP1 expression in human aortic smooth muscle cells reduced the expression of ADAMTS5, attenuated the generation of versikine but increased soluble ADAMTS-1. A similar increase in ADAMTS-1 was observed in aortas of AngII-treated Adamts5Δcat mice, but was not sufficient to maintain versican processing and prevent aortic dilatation. Conclusions - Our results support the emerging role of ADAMTS proteases in TAA. ADAMTS-5 rather than ADAMTS-1 is the key protease for versican regulation in murine aortas. Further studies are needed to define the ECM substrates of the different ADAMTS proteases and their contribution to TAA formation.

Aortic smooth muscle cells in bicuspid valve patients

Project description:and with higher incidence if associated to bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) for unknown reasons. TAA is usually diagnosed fortuitously and the lack of effective drug therapy to delay progression and avoid dissection lies in the limited knowledge of pathophysiology. Objectives. We aimed to identify the molecular hallmarks that difference the aortic dilatation associated to bicuspid (BAV) and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) patients while setting plasma diagnostic molecular panels valve-associated. Methods. Sporadic TAA patients and control subjects (n=91) were classified according to valve type (BAV, TAV). Vascular smooth muscle cells isolated from TAA patients’ aortas were firstly analyzed by mass spectrometry based high-throughput proteomics according to valve type. Extracellularly secreted proteins were secondly analyzed in plasma from TAA patients versus control subjects as diagnostic candidates. Results. Aneurysmal aortas from BAV patients showed a stress phenotype, weakened extracellular matrix interactions, DNA damage and affected protein homeostasis compared to TAV patients. Two plasma marker panels of sporadic TAA valveassociated were identified, showing significant correlation with aortic diameter for C1QTNF5, LAMA2, and SPARC proteins, in BAV patients, and for CP and FAP proteins, in TAV patients. Conclusions. The arterial wall of BAV patients shows a limited capacity to counteract drivers of sporadic TAA while resembling aged arteries.The molecular pathways identified here support the need of differential molecular diagnosis and therapeutic approaches for BAV and TAV patients.
