IP-MS methods for Protein interaction networks in the vasculature prioritize genes and pathways underlying coronary artery disease

ABSTRACT: Zhu QM, Hsu YH, Lassen FH, MacDonald BT, Stead S, Malolepsza E, Kim A, Li T, Mizoguchi T, Schenone M, Guzman G,Tanenbaum B, Fornelos N, Carr SA, Gupta RM, Ellinor PT, Lage K. Population-based association studies have identified many genetic risk loci for coronary artery disease (CAD), but it is often unclear how genes within these loci are linked to CAD. Here, we performed interaction proteomics for 11 CAD-risk genes to map their protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in human vascular cells and elucidate their biological relevance in CAD pathogenesis. The PPI networks contain many protein interactions that are outside of known biology in the vasculature and are enriched for genes involved in immunity-related and arterial-wall-specific mechanisms. Furthermore, several PPI networks derived from smooth muscle cells are significantly enriched for genetic variants associated with CAD and related vascular phenotypes. Finally, our networks identified 61 genes that are found in genetic loci associated with risk of CAD, prioritizing them as the causal candidates within these loci. Together, our results indicate that the PPI networks we have generated are a rich resource for guiding future research into the molecular pathogenesis of CAD.

Protein interaction networks in the vasculature prioritize genes and pathways underlying coronary artery disease (Whitehead data)

Integrative vascular endothelial cell genomics identify AIDA as a coronary artery disease candidate gene (ChIPseq)

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 100s of loci associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and blood pressure (BP)/hypertension. Many of these loci are not associated with traditional risk factors, nor include obvious candidate genes, complicating their functional characterization. We hypothesized that many GWAS loci associated with vascular diseases modulate endothelial functions. Endothelial cells play critical roles in regulating vascular homeostasis (e.g. selective barrier, inflammation, hemostasis, vascular tone) and endothelial dysfunction is a hallmark of atherosclerosis and hypertension. We generated an integrated map of gene expression (RNA-sequencing), open chromatin regions (ATAC-sequencing), and 3D interactions (Hi-C) in resting and TNFα-treated human endothelial cells. We showed that genetic variants associated with CAD and BP are enriched in open chromatin regions identified in endothelial cells. We used physical loops identified by Hi-C to link open chromatin peaks that include CAD or BP SNPs with the promoter of genes expressed in endothelial cells. This analysis highlighted 4,548 combinations of regulatory elements-promoters, including 108 pairs that involve a differentially open chromatin site and a differentially expressed gene following TNFα treatment. At a CAD locus, we validated one of these pairs by engineering a deletion of the TNFα-sensitive regulatory element using CRISPR/Cas9 and measuring an effect on the expression of the novel CAD candidate gene AIDA. Our data support an important role played by genetic variants acting in the vascular endothelium to modulate inter-individual risk in CAD or hypertension

A protein network of common susceptibility genes provides a link in the genetic architecture of chronic inflammation and cardiovascular disease

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of susceptibility loci for chronic and inflammatory disease phenotypes in humans. There is increasing evidence that chronic inflammation is a crucial driver in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which may be genetically determined. To understand the genetic architecture underlying chronic inflammation and CVD we performed a systematic analysis of (1) common risk alleles coming from published GWAS, (2) of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks informed by (3) gene expression data with a defined molecular target involved in the inflammatory processes promoting CVD, MRP8. (4) through analysis of integrated haplotype scores (iHS) and FST values in HapMap phase 2 data, we investigated whether recent selection pressure acting upon inflammatory genes affected CVD susceptibility loci. Our findings provide significant evidence for a PPI network, which connects inflammatory and cardiovascular susceptibility genes, and establish a genetic framework of inflammatory CVD. 41.59% of PPI genes are associated with immune functions. 28.3% of integrated genes can be linked to both, an inflammatory and cardiovascular disease phenotype. Interestingly, CDKN2B, and CELSR2/PSRC1/MYBPHL/SORT1, unequivocally replicated CVD loci, are integrated within this network as are several SNPs located in transcription factor recognition sequences, i.e. NFKB1, STAT3, which are key factors in inflammation. Finally, we observed a significant enrichment of inflammatory variants within CVD cluster loci that are targets of selection. Overall, 32 genes exhibit traces of selection, 16 of which are part of the PPI, further suggesting that recent selective sweeps may have affected the genomic architecture underlying CVD. 6 samples, no replicates.

Genetic regulatory mechanisms of smooth muscle cells map to coronary artery disease risk loci

Project description:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death globally. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 130 independent loci that influence CAD risk, most of which reside in non-coding regions of the genome. To interpret these loci, we generated transcriptome and whole-genome datasets using human coronary artery smooth muscle cells (HCASMC) from 52 unrelated donors, as well as ATAC-seq epigenomic datasets on a subset of 8 donors. Through systematic comparison with publicly available datasets from GTEx and ENCODE projects, we identify transcriptomic, epigenetic, and genetic regulatory mechanisms specific to HCASMC. We validate the relevance of HCASMC to CAD risk using transcriptomic and epigenomic level analyses. By jointly modeling eQTL and GWAS datasets, we identified five genes (SIPA1, TCF21, SMAD3, FES, and PDGFRA) that modulate CAD risk through HCASMC, all of which have biologically relevant functional roles in vascular remodeling. Comparison with GTEx data suggests that SIPA1 appears to influence CAD risk predominantly through HCASMC, while other annotated genes may have multiple cell targets. Together, these results provide new biological insights into the regulation of a critical vascular cell type associated with CAD in human populations.

Quantitative trait loci mapped for TCF21 binding, chromatin accessibility and chromosomal looping in coronary artery smooth muscle cells reveal molecular mechanisms of coronary disease loci (Hi-C)

Project description:To better understand the fundamental molecular mechanisms that contribute to complex human diseases such as coronary artery disease (CAD), we have created a catalog of genetic variants associated with three stages of transcriptional cis-regulation in primary human coronary artery vascular smooth muscle cells. To this end, we used a pooling approach to map quantitative trait locus associations (QTLs) for TCF21 binding (ChIPseq), chromatin accessibility (ATACseq), and chromosomal looping (HiC). We find significant overlap of these QTLs, and several analyses indicate their relationship to smooth muscle specific genes, the binding of smooth muscle transcription factors, and enrichment in CAD-associated loci. These QTLs are extensively validated and allele-specific chromatin looping at the FN1 disease locus is shown to be mediated by activation of the CAD-associated TGFb1 pathway. In sum, these results uncover thousands of loci affecting cis-regulation in a key cell type for CAD, including many that may contribute to CAD risk.
