Project description:Unlike other terminally differentiated cell types, vascular SMCs display remarkable phenotypic plasticity. The adult, differentiated state is traditionally defined by expression of well-characterized SMC contractile genes. Extracellular cues, however, can induce contractile SMCs to remodel toward a synthetic state characterized by a spectrum of proliferative, migratory, and inflammatory phenotypes. We used whole-genome expression arrays to to identify genes associated with SMC phenotypic modulation. Experiment Overall Design: Rat aortic SMCs were serum-starved for 72 hours and subsequently treated with either PDGF-BB or its respective vehicle (n=2). RNA samples were hybridzed to Affymetrix arrays with the intent to identify early genes associated with SMC phenotypic modulation.

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.

Project description:Cigarette smoke is a risk factor for inflammatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis. Tobacco smoke interacts with inflammatory cytokines to produce endothelial dysfunction and induces pro-inflammatory and pro-atherosclerotic effects in vascular tissue. Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are present in the media of human arteries, and are considered protective against atherosclerotic plaque destabilization. Contractile SMCs are the most prominent cell type in the healthy vessel wall. SMCs are not terminally differentiated, and retain the ability to undergo a phenotypic switch from a contractile to a dedifferentiated synthetic state to express inflammatory markers and a phagocytic activity in response to environmental cues. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects in human SMCs of lipophilic component from cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) and of hydrophilic components of Electronic-cigarette, Tobacco heating products, or cigarette smoke.

Project description:Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are important in a number of physiological systems and organs, including the cardiovascular system. The hallmark property of differentiated SMCs is the ability to contract, but contractile SMCs themselves show a range of phenotypes allowing prolonged tonic contraction in vascular smooth muscle or rapid phasic contraction in tissues such as bladder. Another distinctive characteristic, in contrast with terminally differentiated striated muscle cells, is that SMCs exhibit phenotypic plasticity. Vascular SMCs are able to modulate their phenotype along a continuum between a contractile phenotype, characteristic of healthy blood vessels, and a more proliferative âsyntheticâ phenotype, so-named for the enhanced synthesis and secretion of extracellular matrix components. Synthetic phenotype cells are found in a number of pathological situations such as atherosclerosis and arterial injury. We used mouse exon-junction (MJAY) arrays to gain insights into both the global contribution of alternative splicing events in re-shaping the transcriptome of dedifferentiating mouse aorta and bladder SMCs, and into the underlying regulatory mechanisms of the alternative splicing program. Affymetrix splice junction arrays (MJAY) were used to profile changes in both alternative splicing and transcript levels during the phenotypic modulation of smooth muscle cells when placed in culture. RNA extracted from intact aorta and bladder smooth muscle tissue was used for differentiated samples. For dedifferentiated, proliferative samples smooth muscle cells were enzymatically dispersed and grown in tissue culture for a week. Triplicate RNA samples were prepared from smooth muscle tissue of mouse aorta and bladder (differentiated) and from smooth muscle cells from each tissue cultured for 7 days (proliferative). The samples allowed comparison of alternative splicing (and other transcriptome) changes between differentiated and proliferative smooth muscle cell samples from two distinct types of smooth muscle cell, as well as allowing direct comparison of aorta (tonic smooth muscle) and bladder (phasic smooth muscle).

Project description:All current smooth muscle cell (SMC) restricted Cre mice recombine floxed alleles in vascular and visceral SMCs. We generated a tamoxifen-inducible CreERT2 mouse, Itga8-CreERT2, and compared its activity to the widely used Myh11-CreERT2 mouse. Both CreERT2 mice showed similar activity in vascular SMCs; however, Itga8-CreERT2 displayed low activity in visceral SMC-containing tissues (e.g., intestine). Myh11-CreERT2 (but not Itga8-CreERT2) mice exhibited high levels of CreERT2 protein, tamoxifen-independent activity, and an altered transcriptome. Whereas Myh11-CreERT2-mediated knockout of Srf resulted in a lethal intestinal phenotype, loss of Srf with Itga8-CreERT2 (SrfItga8) revealed viable mice with attenuated vascular SMC contractile gene expression, but no evidence of intestinal pathology. Male and female SrfItga8 mice presented with vascular contractile incompetence; however, only male SrfItga8 mice showed systemic changes in blood pressure. These results establish the Itga8-CreERT2 mouse as an alternative to existing SMC Cre strains where gene loss may result in visceral myopathies that obfuscate accurate phenotyping in vascular SMCs.

Project description:Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) display dynamic plasticity by changing phenotype under various pathophysiological conditions. Uncovering how SMCs regulate their phenotype is a key to understanding the molecular mechanisms of a number of gastrointestinal diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), generated in cells by Dicer, have been identified as regulators of the differentiation state of SMCs. The goal of this study was to investigate the role of miRNAs during the development of gastrointestinal SMCs in a transgenic animal model. We generated SMC-specific Dicer (smDicer) null animals that express the reporter, green fluorescence protein (eGFP), in a SMC-specific manner. eGFP labeled SMCs were used for morphological, cytometric and genetic studies of smDicer null mutant and wild type control mice. The structure of the bowel wall was examined by confocal microscopy, and function was evaluated by recording spontaneous and evoked contractions. SMCs were purified with fluorescence-activated cell sorting and SM specific gene expression studies were performed with genechip arrays, PCR and quantitative PCR. Bioinformatic analyses were used to characterize the interaction between miRNAs and target genes. SMC-specific knockout of Dicer prevented SMC miRNA biogenesis, causing dramatic changes in phenotype, function, and global gene expression in SMCs. Profiling and bioinformatic analyses showed SMC phenotype is regulated by a complex network of positive and negative feedback by SM miRNAs, serum response factor (SRF), and other transcriptional factors. SM miRNAs play an important role in growth, development and survival of SMCs. Phenotypic changes of SMCs may be regulated through multiple pathways in an interaction network of SM miRNAs, SRF, and additional transcriptional factors. We used microarrays to identify genetic changes during the development of gastric smooth muscle cells in the smDicer null mice. Mouse mRNA microarrays were performed on GeneChip® Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Arrays (Affymetrix). Total RNAs isolated from the jejunal muscularis of the smDicer knockout (KO) and the wild type (WT) control mice at the ages of ~3 weeks were used for the arrays. The cDNA synthesis, hybridization, cDNA labeling, and scanning were performed. Gene expression between the smDicer KO and the WT controls were compared.

Project description:Smooth muscle cells (SMC) play significant roles in atherosclerosis via phenotypic switching, a pathological process in which SMC transdifferentiation into macrophage-like SMCs. Furthermore, during transdifferentiation, the SMCs' expression of PADI4 upregulating and SMC generated extracellular trap, a web-like structure, which plays key role in the development of atherosclerosis plaque. To reveal the potential mechanism of the SMC derived macrophages generated ETs surducing surrounding SMCs within the media of artery during the process of atherosclerosis plaque development, we utilized the dsDNA and H3CIT protein to stimuli the SMCs, the SMC stimulated with 0.2%BSA as coontrol group, we collect the cells and did RNA-sequencing between two groups to find the potential signaling pathway participating in the process
