Project description:Atherosclerosis is modulated by immune cells. Understanding the diversity and heterogeneity in the aorta in steady state, as well as during different stages of disease will help to determine mechanisms promoting disease progression. To characterize the immune cells, we performed single cell RNA sequencing of aortic CD45+ leukocytes from C57BL/6 (WT) on chow diet and early disease Ldlr-/- mice fed high fat diet (HFD) for 21-days. The single cell RNA-seq analyses revealed the heterogeneity of aortic macrophages in steady state and early atherosclerotic disease.

Project description:Aberrantly expressed miRNAs contribute to developmental abnormalities and diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders, by hybridizing to specific mRNA targets and repressing their translation into proteins. Although miRNA expression signature is characterized in the process of neointimal thickening during proliferative vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, so far global miRNA expression profiling in the different stages of atherosclerosis is completely unknown. We explored stage-specific microRNA signatures in the progress of atherosclerosis in hyperlipidemia mouse model, which may help to identify the critical miRNAs contributing atherosclerotic development and stabilization. Female apoe-/- mice (6-8 weeks, Jackson Laboratory) were fed a high fat diet (HFD, 21% crude fat, 0.15% cholesterol and 19.5% casein, Altromin, Germany) for 3 or 10 months (N=3-4). Serial sections (20 µm thick) of aortic roots and carotid arteries from these mice were mounted on membrane mounted metal frame slides (MMI), deparaffinized under RNase-free conditions, and completely dried. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was performed with a laser microdissection system (MMI cellcut plus, Molecular Machines and Industries, Switzerland) assembled onto an inverted microscope (Olympus IX71). Plaque tissue or morphologically normal vessel wall of at least 40 sections per mouse were collected. RNA was isolated using RecoverAll total nucleic acid isolation kit (Applied Biosystems) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Project description:Background: Atherosclerosis leads high mortality, highlighting an urgent need for new therapeutic strategies. Protein kinases orchestrate multiple cellular events in atherosclerosis and may provide new therapeutic targets for atherosclerosis. Here, we identified a protein kinase, WEE1 G2 checkpoint kinase (WEE1), promoting inflammatory response in atherosclerosis. Methods: The ApoE-/- mice without macrophage-specific WEE1 deletion (ApoE-/-WEE1f/f) and ApoE-/- mice with macrophage-specific WEE1 deletion (ApoE-/-WEE1MCKO) were generated using bone marrow transplantation. These mice and WEE1 inhibitor MK1775 were used in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced atherosclerotic model. Human atherosclerotic tissues, mouse primary peritoneal macrophages (MPMs), 293T cells, and recombinant proteins were utilized to investigate the pathogenic role and underlying mechanisms of WEE1. Results: We identified up-regulated p-WEE1 in macrophages in atherosclerotic lesions of HFD-fed ApoE-/- mice. Transcriptome sequencing analysis indicated that WEE1 promotes oxLDL-induced inflammation in macrophages. We then demonstrated that macrophage-specific deletion or pharmacological inhibition of WEE1 attenuates atherosclerosis by reducing inflammation both in vivo and in vitro. The overexpression of wild-type WEE1 or activating-mutant WEE1, but not inactivating-mutant WEE1, exacerbates inflammation in macrophages. Mechanistically, transcriptome sequencing analysis and co-immunoprecipitation followed by quantitative proteomics analysis identified p65 as a binding protein of WEE1. We confirmed that WEE1 directly interacts with the RHD domain of p65 via kinase domain and phosphorylates p65 at S536, thereby facilitating subsequent NF-κB activation and inflammatory response in macrophages. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that macrophage WEE1 promotes inflammatory atherosclerosis by directly binding to p65 and phosphorylate it at S536. This study provides WEE1 as a new p65 regulator in inflammation and a potential therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.

Project description:High-fat diet (HFD) decreases insulin sensitivity. How high-fat diet causes insulin resistance is largely unknown. Here, we show that lean mice become insulin resistant after being administered exosomes isolated from the feces of obese mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or from human type II diabetic patients with diabetes. HFD altered the lipid composition of exosomes from predominantly PE in exosomes from lean animals (L-Exo) to PC in exosomes from obese animals (H-Exo). Mechanistically, we show that intestinal H-Exo is taken up by macrophages and hepatocytes, leading to inhibition of the insulin signaling pathway. Moreover, exosome-derived PC binds to and activates AhR, leading to inhibition of the expression of genes essential for activation of the insulin signaling pathway, including IRS-2, and its downstream genes PI3K and Akt. Together, our results reveal HFD-induced exosomes as potential contributors to the development of insulin resistance. Intestinal exosomes thus have potential as broad therapeutic targets.

Project description:Systemic immune responses induced by chronic hypercholesterolemia contribute to the initiation, progression and complications of atherosclerosis. However, the consequences of an alternate high fat diet and the associated variations in plasma cholesterol levels on atherosclerosis are unknown. To address this relevant issue concerning common situations where dietary habits change over time, we developed a novel protocol in athero-prone mice that allowed us to compare the effects of alternate versus continuous high fat diet (HFD) on atherosclerosis, the overall period of time of exposure to HFD being similar between groups. We showed that alternate HFD lead to accelerated atherosclerosis in Ldlr-/- and Apoe-/- mice compared to continuous HFD. The pro-atherogenic effect of alternate HFD was also found in Apoe-/-Rag2-/- mice lacking T, B, and NKT cells, ruling out a role for the adaptive immune system in the observed phenotype. Using different complementary in vivo approaches, we found that lipid-rich diet discontinuation in alternate group downregulated Runx1, a negative regulator downstream of TLR-4 pathways. As a result, after re-exposure to HFD, myeloid progenitors were more sensitive to hypercholesterolemia leading to acute differentiation into IL-1b- producing immature neutrophils, which caused a state of emergency myelopoiesis. Consecutively, neutrophils markedly increased in the peripheral blood, infiltrated atherosclerotic lesions and locally released neutrophil extracellular traps. Anti-Ly6G neutrophil depletion abolished the pro-atherogenic effects of alternate HFD. Specific deletion of Il1b and Il1b receptor confirmed that the IL-1b signaling pathway was a major driver of the pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic neutrophil signature. Finally, treatment with anti-IL-1b neutralizing antibody or inflammasome inhibitor during re-exposure to HFD reversed the pro-atherogenic effects of alternate HFD. In summary, we showed that alternate HFD accelerates atherosclerosis through IL-1b-dependent neutrophil progenitor reprogramming.

Project description:Systemic immune responses induced by chronic hypercholesterolemia contribute to the initiation, progression and complications of atherosclerosis. However, it is common for individuals to change dietary habits over time. The consequences of an alternating high fat diet and the associated variations in plasma cholesterol levels on atherosclerosis are unknown. To address this relevant issue, we developed a novel protocol in atherosclerosis-prone mice that allowed us to compare the effects of alternate versus continuous high fat diet (HFD) on atherosclerosis, while keeping the overall period of exposure to HFD similar between groups. We showed that an alternate HFD lead to accelerated atherosclerosis in Ldlr-/- and Apoe 55 -/- mice compared to continuous HFD. This pro-atherogenic effect of alternate HFD was also observed in Apoe-/-Rag2 57 -/- mice lacking T, B, and NKT cells, ruling out the role of the adaptive immune system in the observed phenotype. Employing various complementary in vivo approaches, we discovered that discontinuing HFD in the alternate group downregulated Runx1, a negative regulator of inflammatory signaling pathways in the myeloid lineage. Consequently, after re61 exposure to HFD, myeloid progenitors were primed to respond to HFD re-exposure by differentiating into IL-1-producing immature neutrophils, and inducing a state of emergency myelopoiesis. Subsequently, neutrophils markedly increased in the peripheral blood, infiltrated atherosclerotic lesions and locally released neutrophil extracellular traps. Anti-Ly6G neutrophil depletion abolished the pro-atherogenic effects of alternate HFD. Specific deletion of Il1b and Il1 receptor confirmed that the IL-1 signaling pathway was a major driver of the pro67 inflammatory and pro-atherogenic neutrophil signature. Finally, treatment with anti-IL-1 neutralizing antibody or an inflammasome inhibitor during re-exposure to HFD reversed the pro-atherogenic effects of alternate HFD. In summary, we showed that alternate HFD accelerates atherosclerosis through IL-1-dependent neutrophil progenitor reprogramming.
