Identification of potential plasma biomarkers for abdominal aortic aneurysm using tandem mass tag quantitative proteomics

ABSTRACT: Plasma biomarkers that identify abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture risk would greatly assist in stratifying patients with small aneurysms. Identification of such biomarkers has hitherto been unsuccessful over a range of studies using different methods. The present study used an alternative proteomic approach to find new, potential plasma AAA biomarker candidates. Pre-fractionated plasma samples from twelve patients with AAA and eight matched controls without aneurysm were analyzed by mass spectrometry applying a tandem mass tag (TMT) technique. Eight proteins were differentially regulated in patients compared to controls, including decreased levels of the enzyme bleomycin hydrolase. The down-regulation of this enzyme was confirmed in an extended validation study using an ELISA assay. The TMT-based proteomic approach thus identified novel potential plasma biomarkers for AAA.

Project description:Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a potentially life-threatening condition, but approved medical therapies to prevent AAA progression and rupture are currently lacking. Sphingolipids metabolism disorders are associated with the occurrence and development of AAA. It has been discovered that ganglioside GM3, a sialic acid-containing type of glycosphingolipid, plays a protective role in atherosclerosis which is an important risk factor for AAA, but the potential contribution of GM3 to AAA development has not been investigated. Methods: We performed a metabolomics study to evaluated GM3 level in plasma of human AAA patients. We profiled GM3 synthase (ST3GAL5) expression in the mouse model of aneurysm and human AAA tissues through western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. RNA sequencing, proteomic analysis, affinity purification and mass spectrometry, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis, and functional studies were used to dissect the molecular mechanism of GM3-regulating ferroptosis. We conditionally deleted and overexpressed St3gal5 in smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in vivo to investigate its role in AAA. Results: We found significantly reduced plasma levels of the GM3 in human AAA patients. GM3 content and ST3GAL5 expression were all decreased in abdominal aortic VSMCs in AAA patients and mouse model. RNA-sequencing analysis showed that ST3GAL5 silencing in human aortic SMCs (HASMCs) induced ferroptosis. Importantly, we showed that GM3 interacted directly with the extracellular domain of transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1), a cell membrane protein critical for cellular iron uptake, disrupted its interaction with holo-transferrin. SMC-specific St3gal5 knockout exacerbated iron accumulation at lesion sites and significantly promoted AAA development, while GM3 supplementation suppressed lipid peroxidation, reduced iron deposition in aortic VSMCs and markedly decreased AAA incidence. Conclusions: Together, these results suggest that GM3 dysregulation promotes ferroptosis of VSMCs in AAA. Furthermore, GM3 may constitute a new therapeutic target for the treatment of AAA.

Project description:Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is elevated in human abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Non-selective TNF inhibition has been linked to several severe side effects. Compounds that target the proinflammatory soluble TNF (solTNF) while preserving the immunomodulatory capabilities of transmembrane TNF (tmTNF) may prevent such side effects. We hypothesize that inhibition of solTNF signaling by XPro1595 is just as effective as non-selective TNF inhibition by etanercept (ETN) in preventing AAA expansion. The effect of XPro1595 and ETN was examined in porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) induced AAA mice and findings of XPro1595 was confirmed in Angiotensin II (AngII) induced AAA in hyperlipidemic apolipoprotein E (Apoe) -/- mice. XPro1595 treatment significantly reduced AAA expansion in both models, while a similar trend (p=0.06) was observed in ETN-treated mice using the PPE model. In the PPE aneurysm wall, elastin integrity scores were significantly improved in the XPro1595 group. In the aneurysms, mean TNFR1wasreduced no-significantly (p=0.07) by 50% non-significant after TNF inhibition, but the cellular location in murine AAAs were unaffected and like the localization in human AAAs. Systemic TNF levels were elevated in XPro1595-treated mice, while systemic IL-10 levels were significantly increased after ETN-treatment, while in AngII induced AAA mice systemic TNF and IL5 levels were elevated after XPro1595 treatment. In early AAA development, proteomic analyses revealed that components of the fibrinogen complex were elevated while prostaglandin E2 synthase was down regulated by Xpro1595 (unadjusted p-values). David’s ontology analyses revealed that several pathways including cell matrix adhesion, extracellular space, fibrinogen complex, blood microparticles and glycoproteins were elevated by XPro1595 treatment. In conclusion, selective inhibition of solTNF reduces aneurysm expansion. This supports targeting solTNF as an attractive treatment option for AAA patients.
