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

ABSTRACT: 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.

microRNA microarray of aortae from 10-week male Fbn1mgR/mgR and wild-type mice [10-week_miRNA]

Project description:Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) in Marfan syndrome, caused by fibrillin-1 mutations, are characterized by elevated cytokines and fragmentated elastic laminae in the aortic wall. This study explored whether and how specific fibrillin-1-regulated miRNAs mediate inflammatory cytokine expression and elastic laminae degradation in TAA. miRNA expression profiling at early and late TAA stages using a severe Marfan mouse model (Fbn1mgR/mgR) revealed a spectrum of differentially regulated miRNAs. Bioinformatic analyses predicted the involvement of these miRNAs in inflammatory and extracellular matrix related pathways. Complementing mRNA microarray demonstrated the upregulation of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteases. Correlation analyses between the altered miRNAs and mRNAs present miR-122, the most downregulated miRNAs in the TAA tissue of Fbn1mgR/mgR, to be a core regulatory miRNA to pro-inflammatory cytokines, Ccl2 and Il1b, which were upregulated in the TAA tissues. At 10 weeks, the number of differentially regulated miRNAs (>2-fold) increased to 129 with 5 down- and 124 upregulated miRNAs

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

Project description: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.

Subcellular pathways shared by afflicted patients and mutant mice identify a new drug treatment for aortic aneurysm in Marfan syndrome

Project description:We analyzed differentially expressed genes in smooth muscle cells derived from the thoracic aorta of Marfan Syndrome (MFS) patients and control subjects to identify cell biological mechanisms contributing to thoracic aoritc aneurysm (TAA) development and rupture. These mechanisms were used to identify a potential drug treatment to mitigate TAA progression. We analyzed differentially expressed genes in whole aorta of P16 MFS mice vs WT mice to identify cell biological mechanisms contributing to thoracic aoritc aneurysm (TAA) development and rupture. These mechanisms were used to identify baclofen as a potential drug treatment to mitigate TAA progression. The effect of baclofen on gene expression in WT and MFS was documented in P60 mice that received treatment since P16.

Aorta-on-a-chip reveals impaired mitochondrial dynamics as a therapeutic target for aortic aneurysm in bicuspid aortic valve disease

Project description:Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiovascular disease in general population and is frequently associated with the development of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). There is no effective strategy to intervene with TAA progression due to an incomplete understanding of the pathogenesis. In this study, protein analyses of human aortic tissues showed the insufficient expression of NOTCH1 and impaired mitochondrial dynamics in BAV-TAA. To verify it, we constructed aorta-on-a-chip to replicate the rhythmic tensile on human aorta, on which human aortic smooth muscle cells (HAoSMCs) endured a microenvironment of biomimetic strain unattainable in animal models. HAoSMCs with NOTCH1-knockdown exhibited reduced contractile phenotype and were accompanied by attenuated mitochondrial fusion. Furthermore, we identified that mitochondrial fusion activators (leflunomide and teriflunomide) or mitochondrial fission inhibitor (Mdivi-1) rescued the mitochondrial dysfunction in HAoSMCs from BAV-TAA patients. These findings suggest that impaired mitochondrial dynamics could be a potential therapeutic target for BAV-TAA.

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.

Advanced Study of Aortic Pathology (ASAP)

Project description:BACKGROUND: The vast majority of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) are observed either together with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), a common congenital disorder, or in idiopathic cases such as patients with a normal tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). The main objective of our study was to identify shared and unique gene expression properties underlying the aortic dilation of BAV and TAV patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: Tissue biopsies for RNA and histological analyses were obtained from aorta of non-dilated (<40mm) and dilated (>45mm) aorta of BAV and TAV patients (in total 131 patients). Additional controls were from mammary artery of the same patients (n=88) and aorta from transplant donors (n=13). Gene expression profiles generated using Affymetrix Exon arrays were analyzed from controls and from aorta intima-media and adventitia of patients (in total 345 samples). 606 genes in aortic intima-media were found to be differentially expressed with dilation. Of these, only few (<4%) were differentially expressed in both BAV and TAV patients. Gene set enrichment analysis identified cell adhesion and extracellular region gene ontology sets as common features of TAA in BAV and TAV patients. The set of immune response genes was observed to be particularly overexpressed in aortic media of dilated TAV samples. CONCLUSION: The divergent gene expression profiles indicate fundamental differences in TAA etiology of BAV and TAV patients. Immune response activation solely in the aorta media of TAV patients suggests that inflammation is a causal factor of TAA in this patient group. Biobank of patient material. Each tissue sample is from a different patient as indicated by patient ID.
