Proteomics sequencing analysis revealed the pathogenesis of arterial dissection caused by hypertension

ABSTRACT: Aortic dissection (AD) is a devastating disease with rapid progression and high mortality, and hypertension is a leading cause for AD. The aim of this study was to compare the protein expression profiles of aortas from patients with and without AD, screen vital proteins and explore their potential roles to grasp a further understanding of the pathogenesis mechanism of AD. The results of Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) sequencing revealed the different protein expression profiles between AD and control groups. 131 proteins were significantly upregulated and 239 proteins were prominently downregulated in AD. Upon further enrichment analysis of differential proteins, we found that 5 signaling pathways changed significantly in AD such as glycolysis, ECM and the other three pathways. Moreover, PPI networks were constructed to locate nodal proteins that may be essential points for AD. Our observation demonstrates for the first time that the protein expression in AD was notably changed compared to the control. Our results present evidences that glycolysis and ECM signaling pathway may present a promising approach for the etiology of AD.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, and demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Ursolic acid (UA) can be used in the MS treatment with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities. However, UA is insoluble in water, which may affect its medication effectiveness. In this study, we evaluated the pharmacological effects of UAOS-Na, a water-soluble UA derivative, on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse, explored its underlying mechanism, and verified the mechanism by in vitro and in vivo experiments. As we expected, UAOS-Na (30 mg/kg/d) delayed the onset time of EAE from 11.78 days post immunization (dpi) to 14.33 dpi, reduced the incidence from 90.0% to 42.9%, and was more effective than UA. UAOS-Na (60 mg/kg/d) significantly decreased the serum levels of IFN-γ, IL-17A, TNF-α and IL-6, reduced the mononuclear cell infiltration of spinal cord, and inhibited the overexpression of key transcription factors T-bet and ROR-γt of EAE mouse spinal cord and spleen. In addition, UAOS-Na attenuated demyelination and astrogliosis in the CNS of EAE and Cuprizone-induced mice. Mechanically, proteomics showed that 217 differential expression proteins (DEPs) were enriched and 215 were upregulated in EAE mice. After UAOS-Na treatment, 52 DEPs were enriched and 49 were downregulated, and these DEPs were markedly enriched in inositol phosphate metabolism, calcium, sphingolipid, cAMP, and antigen processing and presentation (APP) signaling pathways. Among them, there were few studies on APP signaling pathway related with MS. Therefore, we further investigated the effect of UAOS-Na on APP signaling pathway and found that UAOS-Na downregulated the protein levels of Tapbp and H2-T23 in MHC-I antigen presentation pathway and decreased the proliferation of splenic CD8 T cells, thereby inhibiting the CNS infiltration of CD8 T cells. Together, our findings demonstrated that UAOS-Na have both direct anti-demyelination and anti-inflammation effects. And it could reduce the inflammation of MS by downregulating the expression of Tapbp and H2-T23 in the MHC-I antigen presentation pathway.

Project description:1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)heptane-3,5-dione (tetrahydrocurcumin, THC) is a major bioactive metabolite of curcumin (the principal active ingredient of Curcuma longa L.), and overcomes the low bioavailability of curcumin, demonstrating the potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective properties, etc, some of which were considered to be even superior to curcumin. In the present study, the protective properties of THC in the hippocampus of APP/PS1 mice, and the effects of THC against Aβ-induced toxicity in BV-2 cells were explored. The data in vitro showed that Aβ induced decreased cell viability, and cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in BV-2 cells, which could be ameliorated by THC. In vivo, THC administration was able to rescue learning and memory, and reduce Aβ burden in the hippocampus of APP/PS1 mice. By comprehensive proteomic analysis of the hippocampus of mice, a total of 157 differentially expressed proteins were identified in APP/PS1 mice treated with THC (comparing with APP/PS1 mice), which were enriched in “T cell activation”, “lymphocyte proliferation” and “protein oligomerization”, etc. The results of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis suggested that the effects of THC on the cell cycle and apoptosis were mostly related to the “Ras signaling pathway” and “JAK−STAT signaling pathway”, etc. Using Western blot and ELISA, the down-regulation of Gab2 and K-Ras, and the up-regulation of caspase-3, TGF-β1 and TNF-ɑ were found in APP/PS1 mice. THC attenuated the abnormal expression of Gab2, K-Ras, caspase-3 and TNF-ɑ, and up-regulated Bag1 and TGF-β1 expression in APP/PS1 mice. In BV-2 cells, Aβ induced the down-regulation of Gab2, K-Ras and TGF-β1, and the overexpression of caspase-3, PARP1, cleaved-PARP1 and TNF-ɑ, which were markedly restored by THC. Moreover, THC up-regulated Bag1 expression in BV-2 cells treated with Aβ. The decreased transcriptional expression levels of Ccnd2 and Cdkn1a was also observed in Aβ-treated BV-2 cells. THC treatment alleviated down-regulation of Ccnd2, but did not affect the abnormal transcriptional expression of Cdkn1a caused by Aβ in BV-2 cells. For the first time, we identified that the action of THC in preventing AD was associated with inhibition of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of microglia via the Ras/ERK signaling pathway, shedding new light on the role of THC in alleviating the progression of AD.
