RNA sequencing of CTRL and siFBLN4 HAECs

ABSTRACT: Fibulin-4 (Fbln4) is an extracellular protein, expressed throughout the aortic wall including endothelial cells (EC), smooth muscle cells (SMC) and fibroblasts. SMC-specific deletion of Fbln4 in mice led to formation of ascending aortic aneurysm with disruption of elastic fibers and Fbln4 is known to play role in elastic fiber formation. However, the function of Fbln4 in EC is unknown. To examine if Fbln4 deletion induces any changes in cellular phenotype of EC, we knocked down FBLN4 in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) by FBLN4 siRNA (siFBLN4) compared with scramble siRNA-treated control cells (CTRL). RNA sequencing was performed to compare the differences in gene expression between CTRL and siFBLN4 cells.

RNA sequencing of aortic valves in CTRL, ECKO, SMKO and DKO mice

Project description:RNA sequencing was performed to compare the transcriptome of aortic valves among 4 mouse models: fibulin-4 (Fbln4; EFEMP2 gene) knockout in endothelial cells (EC) using Tie2Cre (ECKO), Fbln4 knockout in smooth muscle cells (SMC) using SM22Cre (SMKO), EC and SMC Fbln4 double knockout (DKO), and Fbln4loxp/+ and Fbln4+/+ with SM22Cre and/or Tie2Cre used as CTRL. At 2 months old, DKO mice showed significantly thickening aortic valve leaflets than other mouse models. Therefore, this experiment was used to investigate the function of Fbln4 in aortic valve development and Fbln4 role in EC. RNAseq analysis indicates differences in gene expression in aortic valves of DKO mice compared to other models, that is enriched with EndMT process and fibrosis progression.

Transcription profiling of aorta from mice underexpressing Fibulin-4 to investigate its role in elastic fibre assembly and cardio-vasuclar disease

Project description:Extracellular elastic fibres apply structure and mechanical elasticity to organs such as large arteries, lungs and skin 1. Elastic fibres are assembled through polymerization of tropoelastin monomers and loss of elastin is associated with aneurysmal degeneration of the aorta 2. The Fibulins are a six-member protein family hypothesized to function as intermolecular bridges that stabilize the organization of extracellular matrix structures such as elastic fibres and basement membranes 3. Fibulin-4 is found in the medial layers of arteries and moderately expressed in heart valves 4. To examine a potential role of Fibulin-4 in elastic fibre assembly and cardio-vascular disease we generated a mouse model underexpressing Fibulin-4. To get insight into the underlying molecular pathways involved in aneurysm formation, we determined the aorta transcriptome of Fibulin-4R/R animals and identified biological processes that were significantly overrepresented including apoptosis and cell death as well as several novel gene targets implicated in the response to aortic failure. We conclude that decreased Fibulin-4 expression causes aberrant composition of the elastin layers in the aorta and valvular leaflets, resulting in aortic aneurysms and heart abnormalities.

Gene Array Data from p0 Mouse pup; ascending and descending aortas; fibulin-4 knockout and control

Project description:Fibulin-4 plays an essential role in elastic fiber formation, though it's exact function is unclear. Mice lacking the fibulin-4 gene develop cutis laxa with thoracic aortic aneurysms and have narrowed descending aortic diamaters, dying shortly after birth. Another model that disrupt elastic fiber formation, elastin gene knockeds, are also perinatally lethal and have narrowed descending aortas but do not develop thoracic aneurysms. We hypothesized that there may be altered gene expression to explain the altered anatomy based on aortic tissue location we observed, which may provide therapeutic target(s)

Comparative gene array analyses of severe elastic fiber defects in late embryonic and newborn mouse aorta

Project description:Elastic fibers provide reversible elasticity to the large arteries and are assembled during development when hemodynamic forces are increasing. Mutations in elastic fiber genes are associated with cardiovascular disease. Mice lacking expression of the elastic fiber genes elastin (Eln-/-), fibulin-4 (Efemp2-/-), or lysyl oxidase (Lox-/-) die at birth with severe cardiovascular malformations. All three genetic knockout models have elastic fiber defects, aortic wall thickening, and arterial tortuosity. However, Eln-/- mice develop arterial stenoses, while Efemp2-/- and Lox-/- mice develop ascending aortic aneurysms. We performed comparative gene array analyses of these three genetic models for two vascular locations and developmental stages to determine differentially expressed genes and pathways that may explain the common and divergent phenotypes. We first examined arterial morphology and wall structure in newborn mice to confirm that the lack of elastin, fibulin-4, or lysyl oxidase expression provided the expected phenotypes. We then compared gene expression levels for each genetic model by three-way ANOVA for genotype, vascular location, and developmental stage. We found three genes upregulated by genotype in all three models, Col8a1, Igfbp2, and Thbs1, indicative of a common response to severe elastic fiber defects in developing mouse aorta. Genes that are differentially regulated by vascular location or developmental stage in all three models suggest mechanisms for location or stage specific disease pathology. Comparison of signaling pathways enriched in all three models shows upregulation of integrins and matrix proteins involved in early wound healing, but not of mature matrix molecules such as elastic fiber proteins or fibrillar collagens.

Analysis of Combined Transcriptomes Identifies Gene Modules Differentially Responding to Pathogenic Stimulation in Vascular Smooth Muscle and Endothelial Cells

Project description:Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) constitute vasculature media and endothelium, respectively. Current treatments for cardiovascular disease inhibit SMC hyperplasia but also damage the protective endothelial lining, predisposing patients to thrombosis. Therapeutics targeting SMCs without collateral damage to ECs are highly desirable. However, differential (SMCs versus ECs) disease-associated regulations remain poorly defined. We conducted RNA-seq experiments to investigate SMC-versus-EC differential transcriptomic dynamics, following treatment of human primary SMCs and ECs with TNFα or IL-1β, both established inducers of SMC hyperplasia and EC dysfunction. To analyze combined SMC/EC transcriptomes we developed customized algorithms. Induced by TNFα or IL-1β, 212 and 263 genes respectively showed greater up-regulation in SMCs than in ECs (SMC-enriched), while 140 and 204 genes showed greater up-regulation in ECs over SMCs (EC-enriched). Analysis of gene interaction networks identified 5 common hubs and 4 common bottlenecks in the two SMC-enriched gene sets, and 8 hubs and 3 bottlenecks shared in the EC-enriched gene sets. Significantly, four gene modules were formed with these hubs and bottlenecks. While the JUN module (including JUN, KLF5, HIF1A, CXCL8, FOSL1) and FYN module (FYN, JAK2, MAP2, PIK3R3, DAB2, ASAP2) were SMC-enriched, the SMAD3 (SMAD3, CDKN1A, TRAF1, BCL6, CEBPD, TRIB3, ANK3) and XPO1 (XPO1, ETS2, SSH2, NDRG1, GFPT2?) modules were EC-enriched. As these core subnetworks respond to pathogenic stimulation in a SMC-versus-EC differential manner, they may inform potential intervention targets for selective mitigation of SMC hyperplasia without endothelial damage.

Glucose metabolism induced chromatin remodeling in pulmonary artery endothelial cell [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Maintaining endothelial cells (EC) as a monolayer in the vessel wall depends on a gene expression profile and the metabolic state, features influenced by contact with neighboring cells eg, pericytes and smooth muscle cells (SMC). Dysfunctional bone morphogenetic protein receptor 2 (BMPR2) signaling disrupts EC metabolism and monolayer formation and is associated with vascular diseases such as pulmonary arterial hypertension. We show that BMPR2 in either EC or SMC is required for contact-dependent activation of Notch1 in EC. Notch1, through the glycolysis inducer PFKFB3, mediates an increase in the citrate pool and histone acetylation required for Notch1 and MYC target gene expression. This maintains Notch1-dependent EC proliferative capacity, coordinating with Notch1 activation of mitochondria. We report how Notch1 and p300 binding to chromatin and H3K27ac status are influenced by glucose metabolism and regulate gene expression in endothelial cells.
