Exploring Origin-dependent Susceptibility of Smooth Muscle Cells to Aortic Diseases via Intersectional Genetics

ABSTRACT: The developmental heterogeneity of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a crucial role in the prevalence of segment-specific aortic diseases. Traditional genetic tools, however, are insufficient for in vivo analysis of disease susceptibility associated with cellular origin. To overcome this challenge, we engineered a state-of-the-art dual recombinase-mediated intersectional genetic system, tailored to precisely target SMCs from distinct developmental origins. Employing this system, we selectively knocked out Tgfbr2 in the ascending aorta and Smad4 in the aortic arch. Our results distinctly demonstrate the indispensable roles these genes play in sustaining SMC integrity across different aortic segments. This advanced genetic system not only deepens our understanding of aortopathies but also significantly enhances the potential for modeling and elucidating the mechanisms driving segment-specific aortic diseases.

An intersectional genetic cell depletion unravels the unique role of Th1-Treg cells in tumor immunity

Project description:The immune system comprises various cell types including regulatory T (Treg) cells, and their subsets. Since most of inducible depletion of immune cells for the functional analysis rely on a single protein or gene, it is no longer optimal for the analysis of cell subsets defined by multiple genes. Here we create the Cre- and Flp-double recombinase-dependent intersectional genetic VeDTR mouse system that can selectively label and inducibly deplete a subpopulation of Treg cells called T helper 1 (Th1)-Treg cells. Characterization of Th1-Treg cells using the VeDTR mice revealed the high resistance under oxidative stress, which was required for Th1-Treg cells to accumulate in tumor tissues. Moreover, short-term depletion of Th1-Treg cells only led to anti-tumor immunity but not autoimmunity, whereas that of whole Treg cells did both. Collectively, we have established a novel intersectional genetic immune cell depletion system to reveal unique features of Th1-Treg cells in tumor immunity.

Vulnerability of Progeroid Smooth Muscle Cells to biomechanical forces is mediated by MMP13

Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is a premature aging disease in children that leads to early death. Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are the most affected cells in HGPS patients, although the reason for such vulnerability remains poorly understood. In this work, we developed a chip formed from HGPS-SMCs that were generated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to study their vulnerability to flow shear stress. HGPS-iPSC SMCs cultured under arterial flow conditions detached from the chip after a few days of culture; this process was mediated by the up-regulation of metalloprotease 13 (MMP13). Importantly, double mutant LmnaG609G/G609GMmp13-/- mice or LmnaG609G/G609GMmp13+/+ mice treated with a MMP inhibitor showed lower SMC loss in the aortic arch than controls. MMP13 up-regulation appears to be mediated, at least in part, by the up-regulation of glycocalyx. Our results offer a new platform for developing treatments for HGPS patients that may complement previous pre-clinical and clinical treatments.

Our results offer a new platform for developing treatments for HGPS patients that may complement previous pre-clinical and clinical treatments.

Intersectional genetic tracing reveals the origin of alveolar stem cells during lung repair and regeneration

Project description:Alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells are stem cells of the alveolar epithelia. Previous genetic lineage tracing studies reported multiple cellular origins for AT2 cells after injury. However, conventional lineage tracing based on Cre-loxP has the limitation of non-specific labeling. Thus, the exact contribution of various epithelial cells to the pools of AT2 cells under different conditions remains unclear. Here, we used dual recombinases-mediated intersectional genetic lineage tracing to investigate the cellular origins of AT2 cells during lung homeostasis, injury and repair. In contrast to previous studies, we found AT1 cells were terminally differentiated cells and did not contribute to AT2 cells after lung injury and repair. Distinctive, but simultaneous, labeling of club cells, bronchioalveolar stem cells (BASCs), and AT2 cells revealed the exact contribution of each to AT2 cells after lung injury. Moreover, we found that club cells have the potential to rebuild virtually all alveoli in some severely injured lung regions. Mechanistically, Notch signaling promotes a BASCs-to-AT2 cell transition, but it inhibits club cell-to-AT2 cell conversion during lung repair. This intersectional genetic lineage tracing strategy with enhanced precision allowed us to elucidate the physiological role of AT1, club, BASCs, and AT2 cells to alveolar regeneration after injury.

Expression data from the aorta of DBA, B6 and 129 mice

Project description:Strain differences influence susceptibility to atherosclerosis. Apolipoprotein E-null mice on a DBA/2J genetic background (DBA-apoE) and C57BL/6 (B6-apoe) are highly susceptible to atherosclerosis in the aortic root area compared with those on a 129S6/SvEvTac background (129-apoE). To explore strain-specific differences affecting the susceptibility to atherosclerosis, we performed microarray analysis of aortic arch and root from wild type mice of each strains.
