Project description:In this study, we performed molecular phenotyping of RV remodeling, by transcriptome analysis of RV tissue obtained from 40 patients. The unsupervised clustering analysis identified “early" and "late" subgroups within compensated and decompensated states, characterized by the expression of distinct signaling pathways, and different circulating levels of several ECM proteins in decompensated RV subgroups. Our study provides a resource for the subphenotyping of RV states, the identification of state-specific biomarkers, and potential therapeutic targets for RV dysfunction.

Project description:We performed molecular phenotyping of RV remodeling, using transcriptome analysis of RV tissue obtained from MCT-induced rats (of both male and female animals). The clustering approach along with precise hemodynamics assessments identified “early" and "late" subgroups of decompensated state in rat RV. Further molecular characterization of these subgroups identified distinct molecular genes and pathways within different stages of RV remodeling. This study provided a resource to comprehensively compare human RV remodeling with the current animal model of PH (MCT), and led to validation of state-specific biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for RV dysfunction.

Project description:We recently introduced a modification of the established monocrotaline (MCT) model for pulmonary hypertension (PH) and subsequent right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy, which allows for the selective induction of either a compensate or decompensated RV hypertrophic phenotype within four weeks after a single subcutaneous MCT injection. Both doses of 30 or 80 mg/kg body weight lead to an intermediate phase of compensated RV hypertrophy (day 14-19), while the former dose leads to a stable compensated phenotype (HYP) and the latter dose progresses towards decompensated ventricular hypertrophy and RV failure (CHF) around day 25-28 (Buermans et. al, Physiological Genomics 2005). This model provides the unique opportunity to characterize the development of either hypertrophic phenotype during the very early stages after imposition of RV pressure overload remodeling, well before phenotypical differences have become apparent. This experiment series describes gene expression profiles, generated by spotted oligonucleotide microarrays, to characterize and compare the expression of ~4800 genes from the RV of HYP, CHF and time matched control rats at 10, 19 and 25 days after injections. RV samples were hybridized against a common reference pool, prepared from total RNA isolated from the interventricular septum wall from animals at day 19 and 25. Keywords: dose response x time course

Project description:In order to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying right ventricular failure in human PAH, a RNA sequencing analysis was performed in RV tissues obtained from subjects clinically categorized as compensated RV (n=11), decompensated RV (n=7) and donor controls (n=14). The study unveils a plethora of factors dysregulated in the RV of PAH patients, which opens new perspectives for translational research.

Project description:Right ventricular (RV) failure is the major determinant of outcome in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Calves exposed to 2-wks environmental hypoxia develop severe PH and unlike rodents, chronic hypoxia-induced PH in this species can lead to right heart failure. We therefore sought to examine the molecular and structural changes in the RV in calves with hypoxia-induced PH, hypothesizing that we could identify mechanisms underlying compensated physiological function in the face of developing severe PH. Calves were exposed to 14d of hypobaric hypoxia (PB=430 mm Hg, equivalent to 4570m elevation, n=29) or ambient normoxia (1525m, n=25). Cardiopulmonary function was evaluated by right heart catheterization and pressure volume loops. Molecular and cellular determinants of RV remodeling were analyzed by cDNA microarrays, RealTime PCR, proteomics and immunochemistry. Hypoxic exposure induced robust PH, with increased RV contractile performance and preserved cardiac output, yet evidence of dysregulated RV-pulmonary artery mechanical coupling consistent with advanced PH. Analysis of gene expression revealed cellular processes associated with structural remodeling, cell signaling, and survival. We further identified specific clusters of gene expression associated with (i) hypertrophic gene expression and pro-survival mechanotransduction through YAP-TAZ signaling, (ii) ECM remodeling, (iii) inflammatory cell activation and (iv) angiogenesis. A potential transcriptomic signature of cardiac fibroblasts in RV remodeling was detected. Proteomic and immunohistochemical analysis confirmed RV myocyte hypertrophy, together with localization of ECM remodeling, inflammatory cell activation, and endothelial cell proliferation within the RV interstitium. In conclusion, hypoxia and hemodynamic load initiate coordinated processes of protective and compensatory RV remodeling to withstand the progression of PH.

Project description:To investigate astrocyte-microglia interactions in vivo, we took advantage of the recombinant rabies virus (RV). We used glycoprotein G-deficient RV expressing the fluorescent protein mCherry and pseudotyped with glycoprotein EnvA, in combination with GFAP-Cre RABVgp4/TVA transgenic mice that express TVA protein and glycoprotein G in astrocytes under the control of the Gfap promoter. Following injection into GfapRABVgp4/TVA mice, RV initially infects TVA expressing astrocytes, and following its replication RV infect cells in direct contact with astrocytes. We then sorted mCherry+ or mCherry- microglia on EAE mice and prove that microglia that had interacted with astrocytes had a more proinflammatory transcriptional profile.

Project description:Abstract: Right ventricular failure (RVF) remains the leading cause of death in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We investigated the transcriptomic signature of RVF in hemodynamically well-phenotyped monocrotaline (MCT)-treated, male, Sprague-Dawley rats with severe PAH and decompensated RVF (increased right ventricular (RV) end diastolic volume (EDV), decreased cardiac output (CO), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and ventricular-arterial decoupling). RNA sequencing revealed 2547 differentially regulated transcripts in MCT-RVF RVs. Multiple enriched gene ontology (GO) terms converged on mitochondria/metabolism, fibrosis, inflammation, and angiogenesis. The mitochondrial transcriptomic pathway is the most affected in RVF, with 413 dysregulated genes. Downregulated genes included tfam (−0.45-fold), suggesting impaired mitochondrial biogenesis, Cyp2e1 (−3.8-fold), a monooxygenase which when downregulated increases oxidative stress, dehydrogenase/reductase 7C (Dhrs7c) (−2.8-fold), consistent with excessive autonomic activation, and polypeptide N-acetyl-galactose-aminyl-transferase 13 (Galnt13), a known pulmonary hypertension (PH) biomarker (−2.7-fold). The most up-regulated gene encodes Periostin (Postn; 4.5-fold), a matricellular protein relevant to fibrosis. Other dysregulated genes relevant to fibrosis include latent-transforming growth factor beta-binding protein 2 (Ltbp2), thrombospondin4 (Thbs4). We also identified one dysregulated gene relevant to all disordered transcriptomic pathways, Annexin A1. This anti-inflammatory, phospholipid-binding mediator, is a putative target for therapy in RVF-PAH. Comparison of expression profiles in the MCT-RV with published microarray data from the RV of pulmonary artery-banded mice and humans with bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2)-mutations PAH reveals substantial conservation of gene dysregulation, which may facilitate clinical translation of preclinical therapeutic and biomarkers studies. Transcriptomics reveals the molecular fingerprint of RVF to be heavily characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction, fibrosis and inflammation.

Project description:Rationale: In virtually all models of heart failure, prognosis is determined by right ventricular (RV) function; thus, understanding the cellular mechanisms contributing to RV dysfunction is critical. Whole organ remodeling is associated with cell-specific changes, including cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and activation of cardiac fibroblasts (Cfib) which in turn is linked to disorganization of cytoskeletal proteins and loss of sarcomeric structures. However, how these cellular changes contribute to RV function remains unknown. We’ve previously shown significant organ-level RV dysfunction in a large animal model of pulmonary hypertension (PH) which was not mirrored by reduced function of isolated cardiomyocytes. We hypothesized that factors produced by the endogenous Cfib contribute to global RV dysfunction by generating a heterogeneous cellular environment populated by dedifferentiated cells. Objective: To determine the effect of Cfib conditioned media (CM) from the PH calf (PH-CM) on adult rat ventricular myocytes (ARVM) in culture. Methods and Results: Brief exposure (<2 days) to PH-CM results in rapid, marked dedifferentiation of ARVM to a neonatal-like phenotype exhibiting spontaneous contractile behavior. Dedifferentiated cells maintain viability for over 30 days with continued expression of cardiomyocyte proteins including TnI and α-actinin yet exhibit myofibroblast characteristics including expression of α-smooth muscle actin. Using a bioinformatics approach to identify factor(s) that contribute to dedifferentiation, we found activation of the PH Cfib results in a unique transcriptome correlating with factors both in the secretome and with activated pathways in the dedifferentiated myocyte. Further, we identified upregulation of periostin in the Cfib and CM, and demonstrate that periostin is sufficient to drive cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation. Conclusions: These data suggest that paracrine factor(s) released by Cfib from the PH calf signal a phenotypic transformation in a population of cardiomyocytes that likely contributes to RV dysfunction. Therapies targeting this process, such as inhibition of periostin, have the potential to prevent RV dysfunction.
