Project description:Background. Ageing is one of the main risk factors of cardiovascular disease. Pericytes are capillary-associated mural cells involved in the maintenance and stability of the vascular network. In the heart, the consequences of ageing on cardiac pericytes are unknown. Methods. In this study, we have combined single nucleus RNA sequencing and histological analysis to determine the effects of ageing on cardiac pericytes. Furthermore, we have conducted in vivo and in vitro analysis of RGS5 loss of function and finally have perfomed pericytes-fibroblasts co-culture studies to understand the effect of RGS5 loss of function in pericytes on the neighbouring fibroblasts. Results. We showed that ageing reduces the pericyte area and coverage. Single nucleus RNA sequencing analysis further revealed that the expression of the Regulator of G protein signalling 5 (Rgs5) is reduced in old cardiac pericytes. In vivo and in vitro studies showed that the deletion of RGS5 induces morphological changes and a pro-fibrotic gene expression signature characterized by the expression of different extracellular matrix components and growth factors like TGFB2 and PDGFB in pericytes. Indeed, the culture of fibroblasts with the supernatant of RGS5 deficient pericytes induced their activation characterized by the increased expression of α smooth muscle actin in a TFGβ2 dependent mechanism. Conclusions. Our results identify RGS5 as a crucial regulator of pericyte function during cardiac ageing. The deletion of RGS5 causes cardiac dysfunction and induces myocardial fibrosis, one of the hallmarks of cardiac ageing.

Project description:Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) leads to congestive heart failure and can cause sudden cardiac death due to arrhythmia. Existing molecular knowledge base of ICM is rudimentary because of lack of specific attribution to cell type and function. This study was designed to investigate cell-specific molecular remodeling of ion channels, exchangers and pumps, which are signaling molecules (SM) involved in electrical, signaling and mechanical functions of the heart. Atrial and ventricular myocytes were isolated by laser-capture microdissection from left atrium and ventricle of healthy and ICM human hearts. SM and their splice variants altered by ICM in cardiomyocytes were identified by splice microarray and validated by RT-PCR. Molecular profiling of ICM-related changes showed that SM in atrial and ventricular myocytes remodel following their unique programs. ICM affected 63 genes in ventricular myocytes and 12 genes in atrial myocytes. Only few of the identified genes were previously linked to human cardiac disfunctions.

Project description:Identification of TLR4 as one of the most abundant RNA species in pericytes with respect to MSC, and corroboration of TLR4 expression on the cell surface, led us to obtain a comprehensive overview of the expression program of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated pericytes. Microarray analyisis demonstrated the significant upregulation of 76 annotated genes including transcripts for adhesion molecules, inflammation mediators, pro-angiogenic factors, transcription factors and anti-apoptotic proteins. Cells were cultured in 24-w plates in complete medium for 24h before stimulation with 1 microgram/ml LPS for 4h. Samples are biological triplicates.

Project description:Pericytes and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are ontogenically related, and in fact no phenotypic differences were observed by flow cytometry using a panel of surface antigen markers. Global gene expression profiles of human pericytes and MSC revealed that 43 genes were expressed more than 10 fold in pericytes as compared to MSC. Cells were cultured in 24-w plates in complete medium for 24h in biological triplicates

ICM affected 63 genes in ventricular myocytes and 12 genes in atrial myocytes. Only few of the identified genes were previously linked to human cardiac disfunctions. In our experiments we used 3 healthy hearts rejected from transplantation procedure and explanted ICM hearts from three male patients. Tissue samples were dissected from left ventricle and left atrial appendages. Atrial and ventricular myocytes were laser-capture microdissected from serial 7-8-µm thick cryostat sections. Individual cellular total RNA samples were analyzed on custom-built Human Ion Channel Splice Arrays slides (ExonHit) manufactured on the Ion Channel Splice Array sv1.1 platform representing 287 human SM, including 248 alternatively spliced ones in total 1655 splicing events and supplemented with capabilities to recognize connexins and ryanodine receptors.
