Project description:In order to identify potential new biomarkers of atherosclerotic plaque composition we performed a large scale analysis of gene expression patterns in human atherosclerotic lesions. Whole genome expression analysis of 101 peripheral plaques identified a robust gene signature (1514 genes) dominated by inflammatory processes, and cholesterol metabolism and storage genes. Specific pathways enriched in this signature included activation of the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, T-cell activation, cholesterol efflux, oxidative stress response, inflammatory cytokine production, vasoconstriction and lysosomal activity. Analysis of gene expression in plaque micro-dissected material revealed that the signature is strongly up-regulated in macrophage-rich regions and down-regulated in regions with high smooth muscle cell content. A smaller qPCR biomarker panel and inflammatory composite score (ICS) were developed to facilitate clinical translation of discoveries from gene expression profiling. We found that ICS correlates with histological features related to plaque vulnerability. In addition, ICS is able to separate groups of plaques obtained from symptomatic and asymptomatic patients undergoing carotid endarerectomy. In summary, we identified a robust mRNA biomarker panel associated with histo-pathological as well as clinical hallmarks of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque. This panel may be used as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in clinical setting to evaluate novel anti-atherosclerotic therapies. 6 human carotid plaques were sectioned in 1 mm thick slices. Alternative slices were used for gene expression profiling in Affymetrix/Merck custom 1.0 arrays (GPL10687), or for immunohistochemistry studies (CD68, Actin)

Project description:The rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaques, leading to debilitating or fatal thrombotic events, is a major health burden worldwide. Limited understanding as to the molecular drivers of plaque instability and rupture hinders efforts in diagnosis and treatment prior to thrombotic events. Utilising an advanced pre-clinical mouse model (Tandem stenosis (TS) model), which presents human-like unstable atherosclerotic disease, we apply high-end omic methods to characterize the molecular signatures associated with plaque instability in atherosclerotic arteries. Through quantitative proteomic profiling, we depict unique proteome signatures of unstable plaques compared to stable plaques and healthy arteries. Coupled with single-cell RNA-sequencing of leukocytes, we describe the heterodimer complex S100a8/S100a9 as unique to unstable plaque, with neutrophils implicated as the transcriptional drivers of S100a8/a9 expression. We confirm S100a9 expression in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques and we further utilise the TS pre-clinical model to pharmacologically inhibit S100a8/S100a9, resulting in plaque stabilisation. Thus, we establish the TS model as a sophisticated translational tool for the profiling of unstable atherosclerotic plaques and demonstrate that unstable and stable atherosclerosis are highly different disease entities.

Project description:Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is the etiology of ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction. Ribosome-depleted total RNA was sequenced from carotid plaques obtained from patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy with high-grade stenosis and either 1) a carotid-related ischemic cerebrovascular event within the previous 5 days ('recently ruptured,' n=6) or 2) an absence of a cerebrovascular event ('asymptomatic,' n=5). Examination of the differentially expressed genes supported the importance of inflammation and inhibition of proliferation and migration coupled with an increase in apoptosis. Thus, the transcriptome of recently ruptured plaques is enriched with transcripts associated with inflammation and fibrous cap thinning and support further examination of the role of B lymphocytes and interferons in atherosclerotic plaque rupture.

Project description:Protein profiles were determined from different distinct regions of human atherosclerotic plaques, including: internal control, fatty streak, plaque shoulder, plaque centre, and fibrous cap. Protein extracts from all 5 regions, from 3 men and 3 women, were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (in total 30 2-DE gels). Stained gels were matched by protein spot distribution, and a protein mapping was performed to identify as many protein spots as possible, by MALDI-TOF MS / peptide mass fingerprinting (Voyager DE Pro; Applied Biosystems). This resulted in the identification of 97 protein spots, corresponding to 52 unique protein by accession number. To expand on this nLC-MS/MS (Easy-nLC / LTQ Orbitrap Velos Pro; Thermo Fisher Scientific) experiments were run on additional carotid plaque samples from 10 men and 10 women, using three of the predefined regions; internal control, fatty streak, plaque core. MS/MS analysis resulted in the identification of over 1000 proteins. Human carotid atherosclerotic plaques (n = 26) were obtained from the Linköping Carotid Study, and all methods/protocols described herein have been approved by the local ethics committee (Linköping University Hospital, Linköping, Sweden). Written informed consent was also obtained from all patients.
