Cyclodextrin treatment leads to atherosclerosis regression by dissolution of cholesterol crystals and LXR activation

ABSTRACT: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease linked to elevated blood cholesterol levels. Since cholesterol retention and cholesterol crystals in arterial walls are key pathogenetic factors for atherogenesis, we assessed the therapeutic potential of increasing cholesterol solubility in vivo. Here we show that treatment of murine atherosclerosis with the cyclic oligosaccharide 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (CD), a compound that solubilizes lipophilic substances, reduced atherosclerotic plaque size, cholesterol crystal (CC) load and promoted plaque regression even under continuing Western diet. CD solubilized CC and promoted cholesterylester and oxysterol production in macrophages leading to liver X receptor-mediated transcriptional reprogramming with increased cholesterol efflux and decreased inflammation. CD treatment may thus be used to increase cholesterol solubility and clearance to prevent or treat atherosclerosis.

Cyclodextrin promotes atherosclerosis regression via LXR activation (II)

Project description:Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease linked to elevated blood cholesterol levels. Despite ongoing advances in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis 1, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide 2. Continuous retention of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins in the subendothelial space causes a local overabundance of free cholesterol. Since cholesterol accumulation and deposition of cholesterol crystals (CCs) triggers a complex inflammatory response 3 4, we tested the therapeutic potential of increasing cholesterol solubility in experimental atherogenesis. Here we show that treatment of murine atherosclerosis with the cyclic oligosaccharide 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (CD), a compound that solubilizes lipophilic substances, reduced atherosclerotic plaque size, cholesterol crystal load and promoted plaque regression even under continuing Western diet. CD solubilized CCs and promoted cholesterylester and oxysterol production in macrophages leading to liver X receptor (LXR)-mediated transcriptional reprogramming. CD increased cholesterol efflux from macrophages and substantially augmented reverse cholesterol transport in vivo. Furthermore, CD reduced proinflammatory cytokines in vivo and decreased macrophage responsiveness towards TLR and inflammasome activation. Since CD treatment in humans is safe and CD beneficially affects key pathogenetic factors in atherogenesis it may thus be used clinically to prevent or treat human atherosclerosis .

Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin spikes local inflammation that induces Th2 and Tfh responses to the coadministered antigen

Project description:Gene expression data from mouse organs after hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin injection Cyclodextrins are commonly used as a safe excipient to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of hydrophobic pharmaceutical agents. In this study, we reprofiled hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) as a vaccine adjuvant, and found that it acts as a potent and unique adjuvant.

Hydroxypropyl-Î²-cyclodextrin spikes local inflammation that induces Th2 and Tfh responses to the coadministered antigen

Project description:Gene expression data from mouse organs after hydroxypropyl-Î²-cyclodextrin injection Cyclodextrins are commonly used as a safe excipient to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of hydrophobic pharmaceutical agents. In this study, we reprofiled hydroxypropyl-Î²-cyclodextrin (HP-Î²-CD) as a vaccine adjuvant, and found that it acts as a potent and unique adjuvant. C57BL/6J mice (6 week old, male, n = 3) were injected i.d. or i.p. with a total volume of 200 micro liter of 30% HP-Î²-CD in PBS. The vehicle-control mice (n = 3) were injected with the same volume of PBS. After 6 h, the inguinal LNs, Liver, and Spleen were removed (within one hour for all samples) and global gene expression was obtained by Affymetrix GeneChip.

Favine/CCDC3 deficiency accelerated atherosclerosis and thrombus formation is associated with decreased MEF2C-KLF2 pathway

Project description:Currently, no mouse models manifest calcification and thrombus formation, which is frequently associated with human atherosclerosis. We demonstrated that lack of Favine/CCDC3 in apoE knockout mice accelerated atherosclerosis accompanied by large cholesterol crystals and calcification, and also promoted thrombus formation in the left ventricle and arteries. Circulating Favine was detectable in WT mouse lasma. RNA-sequencing analysis of aortae in DKO mice showed similar gene expression patterns of human atherosclerosis with unstable and vulnerable plaques. Importantly, human FAVINE mRNA expressions were lower in atheroma plaque than in adjacent intact aortic tissue and decreased with the progression of atherosclerosis. Pathway analysis of aortae in DKO mice suggested the decrease of the MEF2C-KLF2-mediated transcriptional pathway. Favine insufficiency and its attenuated downstream pathways may increase atherosclerosis progression with calcification and thrombus, which have not previously been fully modeled in experimental animals. Favine and its downstream pathways may have therapeutic potential for atherosclerosis.

Effect of anti-miR-33 treatment on gene expression in mouse macrophages from atherosclerotic plaques.

Project description:Inhibition of miR-33 results in increased cholesterol efflux and HDL-cholesterol levels in mice. In this study we examined the effect of miR-33 inhibition in a mouse model of atherosclerosis and observed significant reduction in atherosclerotic plaque size. At the end of the study, gene expression in macrophages from the atherosclerotic plaques was assessed. The results demonstrated a reduction in inflammatory gene expression and increased levels of mRNAs containing miR-33 binding sites. LDLR-/- mice on a Western diet with established atherosclerosis were switched to normal chow and treated with anti-miR-33, control anti-miR, or saline (n=4/group) for 4 weeks. Gene expression profiling was performed on macrophages in aortic plaques isolated at the end of the treatment period by laser capture microdissection.

Loss of hepatic miR-33 improves metabolic homeostasis and liver function without altering body weight or atherosclerosis

Project description:miR-33 is an intronic microRNA within the gene encoding the SREBP2 transcription factor. Like its host gene, miR-33 has been shown to be an important regulator of lipid metabolism. Inhibition of miR-33 has been shown to promote cholesterol efflux in macrophages by targeting the cholesterol transporter ABCA1, thus reducing atherosclerotic plaque burden. Inhibition of miR-33 has also been shown to improve high-density lipoprotein (HDL) biogenesis in the liver and increase circulating HDL-C levels in both rodents and nonhuman primates. However, evaluating the extent to which these changes in HDL metabolism contribute to atherogenesis has been hindered by the obesity and metabolic dysfunction observed in whole-body miR-33–knockout mice. To determine the impact of hepatic miR-33 deficiency on obesity, metabolic function, and atherosclerosis, we have generated a conditional knockout mouse model that lacks miR-33 only in the liver. Characterization of this model demonstrates that loss of miR-33 in the liver does not lead to increased body weight or adiposity. Hepatic miR-33 deficiency actually improves regulation of glucose homeostasis and impedes the development of fibrosis and inflammation. We further demonstrate that hepatic miR-33 deficiency increases circulating HDL-C levels and reverse cholesterol transport capacity in mice fed a chow diet, but these changes are not sufficient to reduce atherosclerotic plaque size under hyperlipidemic conditions. By elucidating the role of miR-33 in the liver and the impact of hepatic miR-33 deficiency on obesity and atherosclerosis, this work will help inform ongoing efforts to develop novel targeted therapies against cardiometabolic diseases.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) promote macrophage inflammation and impair atherosclerosis resolution in mice with diabetes

Project description:Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) promote inflammation and atherosclerosis progression. In diabetes they are increased and impair wound healing, during which inflammation normally resolves. Atherosclerosis regression, a process resembling wound healing, is also impaired in diabetes. Thus, we hypothesized that NETs impede atherosclerosis regression in diabetes through unresolved inflammation. Objective: To investigate in diabetes the effect of NETs on plaque macrophage inflammation and whether NETs reduction improves atherosclerosis regression. Findings: Transcriptomic profiling of plaque macrophages from NET positive and negative areas in Ldlr-/- mice revealed inflammasome and glycolysis pathway upregulation, indicating a pro-inflammatory phenotype. During atherosclerosis regression in non-diabetic mice, plaque NET content decreased. In contrast, in diabetic mouse plaques NETs were enriched and persisted after lipid-lowering. DNase1 treatment (to degrade NETs) of diabetic mice reduced plaque NETs and macrophage inflammation and improved atherosclerosis regression after lipid-lowering. Conclusions: NETs decline during atherosclerosis regression in non-diabetic mice, but persist in diabetes and impair regression by exacerbating macrophage inflammation. DNase1 reduced diabetic plaque NETs and macrophage inflammation, and restored atherosclerosis resolution after lipid-lowering, despite ongoing hyperglycemia. Given that humans with diabetes also exhibit impaired atherosclerosis resolution with lipid-lowering, these data suggest that NETs contribute to the increased CVD risk in this population.

Compartment-resolved proteomic analysis of mouse aorta during atherosclerotic plaque formation

Project description:Atherosclerosis leads to vascular lesions that involve major rearrangements of the vascular proteome, especially of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Using single aortas from ApoE knock out mice, we quantified formation of plaques by single-run, high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. To probe localization on a proteome-wide scale, we employed quantitative detergent solubility profiling. This compartment- and time-resolved resource of atherogenesis comprised 5,117 proteins, 182 of which changed their expression status in response to vessel maturation and atherosclerotic plaque development. In the insoluble ECM proteome, 65 proteins significantly changed, including relevant collagens, matrix metalloproteinases and macrophage specific proteins.
