Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study was to compare the genome-wide promoter methylation alterations in macrophages and endothelial cells during hindlimb ischemia among normal, hyperlipidemic and type-2 diabetic mice. Methods: Unilateral hindlimb ischemia was induced by ligating femoral artery proximal to the bifurcation of superficial and deep femoral artery in mice deficient of LDL receptor and expressing only apolipoprotein B100 (LDLR-/-ApoB100/100, C57BL/6J background) (The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor,USA) and mice with β-cell specific over-expression of insulin-like growth factor-2 in atherosclerotic background (IGF-II/LDLR-/-ApoB100/100, C57BL/6J background) with type 2 diabetic features on high-fat diet (TD 88173, Harlan Teklad: 42% of calories from fat and 0.15% from cholesterol, no sodium cholate) 8 weeks prior to surgery and continued throughout the study 1. C57BL/6J (WT) mice fed with regular chow-diet (R36, Lactamin) served as controls. All animals were aged between 20 to 24 weeks at the time of hindlimb operations. For sorting macrophages from ischemic muscles, ischemic gastrocnemius muscles were minced and enzymatically dissociated using a cocktail containing 450 U/mL Collagenase I, 125 U/mL Collagenase XI, 60 U/mL DNAseI, and 60 U/mL hyaluronidase (Sigma Aldrich) for 1 h at 37°C. The cells were then counted and divided into CD31+ve and CD31-vefractions using CD31 magnetic bead enrichment (Miltenyi Biotec). For macrophage sorting CD31-ve fraction was incubated for 15 minutes with rat anti-mouse CD16/32 mAb (Fc Block, BD-pharmingen) and stained with FITC conjugated rat anti-mouse F4/80 antibody (Serotec) for 20 minutes at 4˚C. For endothelial sorting CD31+ fraction was incubated for 15 minutes with rat anti-mouse CD16/32 mAb (Fc Block, BD-pharmingen) and stained with APC conjugated rat anti-mouse CD31 antibody (BD-pharmingen) and FITC conjugated rat anti-mouse CD45 ((BD-pharmingen) for 20 minutes at 4˚C. FACS sorting was performed on FACS AriaIII (BD Biosciences). Genomic DNA was isolated from FACS sorted macrophages and endothelial cells using AllPrep DNA/RNA/Protein Mini Kit (Qiagen Finland, Helsinki, Finland) according to manufacturer's instructions. Results: The sample similarity as assessed by Pearson’s correlation matrix and Hierarchial clustering showed high correalation among macrophages, as well as endothelial cells. There was a clear clustering of macrophages and endothelial cells as evidence by their CpG methylation clustering, furthermore macrophages from HL and T2DM mice showed clear clustering compared to control macrophages. Differential methylation analysis of RRBS methylation data from macrophages and endothelial cells was performed using Methylkit. Using a threshold of adjusted p value (Q) <0.05 and percentage methylation difference of >5%, we identified 198 and 272 genes whose promoters were hypomethylated in HL and T2DM macrophages. Similarly, there were 102 and 136 gene promoters were hypermethylated in HL and T2DM macrophages, respectively compare to control macrophages. Thus, proximal promoter methylation suggested that HL and T2DM have convergent influences on the proximal promoter methylation of numerous macrophage specific genes. In order to find out whether these genes with differential methylated promoters were differentially expressed at mRNA expression level in purified macrophages, we further compared our data with the GEO datasets as above. Of the 198 genes with promoter hypomethylation in HL macrophages 72 genes were suggested to be upregulated in M1- Mϕs; whereas, of the 102 genes with promoter hypermethylation, 51 genes were suggested to be upregulated in M2- Mϕs. Similarly, out of 272 genes with differentially methylated promoters in T2DM macrophages 88 genes were suggested to be upregulated in M1-Mϕs; whereas, out of 136 genes with promoter hypermethylation 60 genes were suggested to be upregulated in M2- Mϕs. Thus a significant promoter hypomethylation of M1-Mϕ and hypermethylation of M2-Mϕ genes suggested the predominance of proinflammatory M1-Mϕs in ischemic muscles of HL and T2DM compared to M2-Mϕs in control mice. Conclusions: We found significant promoter hypomethylation of genes typical for proinflammatory M1-Mϕs and hypermethylation of anti-inflammatory, proangiogenic M2-Mϕ associated genes in HL and T2DM ischemic muscles. Epigenetic alterations skewing Mϕ phenotype towards proinflammatory as opposed to anti-inflammatory, proangiogenic and tissue repair phenotype may contribute to impaired adaptive vascular growth in these pathological conditions.

Project description:We have previously shown that low doses of ionizing radiation (LDIR) induce angiogenesis. In the present study we investigated their action in experimentally induced hindlimb ischemia. We demonstrated that 0.3 Gy, administered for four consecutive days, significantly improves blood perfusion in the murine ischemic limb by stimulating angiogenesis and arteriogenesis. This is achieved through durable and simultaneous up-regulation of a repertoire of pro-angiogenic factors and their receptors in endothelial cells, as evident in cells isolated from the irradiated gastrocnemius muscles. Moreover, we demonstrated that this mechanism is mediated via VEGFR signaling, since VEGFR inhibition abrogated the LDIR-mediated gene up-regulation and impeded the increase in vessel density. Importantly, the vasculature in an irradiated non-ischemic bed is not affected and no adverse effects associated to the use of LDIR were seen. These findings disclose an innovative, non-invasive strategy to induce therapeutic angiogenesis in a murine model of severe hindlimb ischemia, emerging as a novel approach in the treatment of Critical Limb Ischemia patients.

Project description:Neurotrophins (NTs) promotes angiogenesis and EC survival, via tropomyosin kinase trkA and trkB receptors. A different p75NTR receptor of NTs, which belongs to the TNF-alfa receptor superfamily, is not or scarcely expressed by endothelial cells (EC) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) under basal conditions. Both diabetes and muscular ischemia induce p75NTR in capillary EC. In this study, by gene transfer, we forced the expression of p75NTR in EC and EPC to study the effect on cell survival, proliferation, adhesion, migration, and capillary-like tubes formation on matrigel, which all resulted impaired by p75NTR. We identified that p75NTR inhibits the VEGF-A/Akt/eNOS/NO pro-angiogenesis/pro-EC survival pathway and reduces the mRNA contents of survivin and securin in EC. By Illumina technology and real-time PCR, we found that p75-NTR alters the expression of VEGF-A and beta-1 integrin, which are implicated in angiogenesis and cell survival. p75NTR transfer to ischemic murine limb muscles impaired neoangiogenesis and blood flow recovery and induced apoptosis of bone marrow Sca-1+/Lin- progenitor cells. Diabetes induced p75NTR in bone marrow Sca-1+/Lin- cells and this correlated with apoptosis. Finally, inhibition of p75NTR signaling in diabetic ischemic limb muscles restored proper muscular neovascularization and blood flow recovery. Keywords: Response to ectopic receptor expression on angiogenesis Two series of 4 mice each were treated with either control adenovirus (AdNull) or adenovirus expressing neurotrophin p75 receptor (AdP75). Anaesthetized mice received 3 adenovirus injections (for a total of 109 p.f.u. virus in 20 micro L) into 3 equidistant sites of the normoperfused or ischemic left adductor muscles, as described (2.

Project description:Purpose: To clarify cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying impaired post-ischemic adaptive vascular responses and to evaluate reconstituted HDL (rHDL)-ApoA-I nanotherapy to rescue the defect in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) mouse model of hindlimb ischemia (HLI). Methods: Mice with beta-cell specific over-expression of insulin-like growth factor-2 in atherosclerotic background (IGF-II/ LDLR-/-ApoB100/100) with T2DM features were used in the study with C57BL/6J mice fed with a regular chow-diet (R36, Lactamin) serving as controls. Mice aged between 16 to 20 weeks were used in the study . Mice were anaesthetized with 1.5-2% isoflurane/air mixture during the surgical procedure. Hair was removed from the operation site and cleaned with sterile water. Single incision was made just above medial thigh and superficial femoral artery was separated from femoral vein and nerve. HLI was induced by unilateral ligation of femoral artery distal to the origin of the profunda femoral artery. The skin was closed with interrupted silk sutures. Mice were were administered with reconstituted ApoA-I nanoparticles with phosphatidyl serine core (rHDL) intravenously starting 2 days post-HLI with doses every 2 days until scarification with Saline injections serving as controls. Adductors muscle aortic endothelial cells (AECs) and Ischemic muscle Macrophages and Endothelial Cells (ECs) were isolated using a combination of magnetic assisted cell sorting and flow Cytometry using Macrophage (F4/80) and EC (CD-31) specific markers. Total RNA isolated from FACS sorted cells were used for RNA seq library preparation. Results: Cell-specific gene expression, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry revealed a persistent Macrophage and Endothelial cell inflammation and a reduced anti-inflammatory M2-macrophage activation associated with impaired collateral remodelling and sprouting angiogenesis in T2DM mice. Furthermore, reconstituted HDL (rHDL)- ApoA-I was found to rescue impaired collateral remodelling and angiogenesis in T2DM mice through modulating EC and macrophage phenotypes. Conclusions: Our results suggest that an impaired collateral remodelling and sprouting angiogenesis in T2DM mice after HLI is associated with a persistent EC and macrophage inflammation and a reduced activation of anti-inflammatory M2-macrophage. Skewing the macrophage phenotype towards the pro-arteriogenic and pro-angiogenic anti-inflammatory M2-macrophages using reconstituted HDL (rHDL)-ApoA-I nanotherapy may serve as a potential therapeutic modality for T2DM PAD.

Project description:Arterial occlusive diseases are major causes of morbidity and mortality. Blood flow to the affected tissue must be restored quickly if viability and function are to be preserved. Collaterals are artery-to-artery or arteriole-to-arteriole interconnections that can bypass an occlusion by providing an alternative route for blood flow to the affected tissue. The increased flow and sheer stress initiate processes that result in the remodeling (arteriogenesis) of these vessels into efficient conductance arteries. Here we report that the mixed-lineage kinase (MLK) pathway activates cJun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) in endothelial cells. Disruption of Mlk2/3 or Jnk1/2 genes caused severe blockade of blood flow and failure to recover in the femoral artery ligation model of hindlimb ischemia because of abnormal collateral arteries. We show that the MLK-JNK pathway is essential for patterning and maturation of collateral arteries during development, but this pathway is not required for angiogenesis or arteriogenesis in adults. JNK in endothelial cells promotes Delta-like 4-induced Notch signaling and suppresses excessive sprouting angiogenesis during development. This function of the MLK-JNK pathway contributes to normal formation of native collateral arteries. The MLK-JNK pathway is therefore a key regulatory mechanism for vascular development. These data highlight the crucial importance of the collateral circulation in the response to arterial occlusive diseases. RNA-seq analysis of mouse lung endothelial cells (MLEC) of the following genotypes Cdh5-Cre+ Jnk1+/+ Jnk2+/+ Jnk3-/-(ECtrl), Cdh5-Cre- Jnk1LoxP/LoxP Jnk2LoxP/LoxP Jnk3-/- (EfCtrl), and Cdh5-Cre+ Jnk1LoxP/LoxP Jnk2LoxP/LoxP Jnk3-/- (E3KO). Three separate samples from mouse lung endothelial cells of each genotype were analyzed.

Project description:Following skeletal muscle injury, muscle stem cells (satellite cells) are activated, proliferate, and differentiate to form myofibers. We show that mRNA decay protein AUF1 regulates satellite cell function through targeted degradation of specific mRNAs. AUF1 targets certain mRNAs containing 3 AU-rich elements (AREs) for rapid decay. Auf1-/- (KO) mice undergo accelerated skeletal muscle wasting with age and impaired muscle repair following injury. Satellite cell mRNA analysis and regeneration studies demonstrate that auf1-/- satellite cell self-renewal is impaired due to increased stability and overexpression of ARE-mRNAs. Control of ARE-mRNA decay by AUF1 and potentially other ARE-binding proteins represents a mechanism for adult stem cell regulation and is implicated in human muscle wasting diseases. We report the RNA transcript expression profiles from sorted satellite cells isolated from wild type (WT) and AUF1-null (KO) mice hindlimb muscles Examination of RNA transcript expression from satellite cells of two genotypes Please note that mice are bred through a C57BL/6 strain of 129 background.

Project description:The pathophysiology of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) transection injury is rare in that it is characteristically followed by a high degree of spontaneous reinnervation, with reinnervation of the laryngeal adductor complex (AC) preceding that of the abducting posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA) muscle. Here, we aim to elucidate the differentially expressed myogenic factors following RLN injury that may be at least partially responsible for the spontaneous reinnervation. F344 male rats underwent RLN injury or sham surgery (n=12). One week after RLN injury, larynges were harvested following euthanasia. mRNA was extracted from PCA and AC muscles bilaterally, and microarray analysis was performed using a full rat genome array. Microarray analysis of denervated AC and PCA muscles demonstrated dramatic differences in gene expression profiles, with 205 individual probes that were differentially expressed between the denervated AC and PCA muscles, and only 14 genes with similar expression patterns. The differential expression patterns of the AC and PCA suggest different mechanisms of reinnervation. The PCA showed the gene patterns of Wallerian degeneration, while the AC expressed the gene patterns of reinnervation by adjacent axonal sprouting. This finding may reveal important therapeutic targets applicable to RLN and other peripheral nerve injuries. Compare mRNA expression from injured tissue (recurrent laryngeal nerve transection injury) to normal tissue from two tissues laryngeal adductor complex and posterior cricoarytenoid muscles.

Project description:Aging and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are associated with impaired skeletal muscle function and degeneration of the skeletal muscle microenvironment. However, the origin and mechanisms underlying the degeneration are not well described in human skeletal muscle. Here we show that skeletal muscles of T2DM patients exhibit pathological degenerative remodeling of the extracellular matrix that was associated with a selective increase of a subpopulation of fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) marked by expression of THY1 (CD90).
