Project description:Background Transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) has a neuroprotective function in traumatic brain injury (TBI) through its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. In our previous study, we found that TGF-β1 played a critical role in inhibiting apoptosis and increasing neuronal activity in murine cortical neurons following trauma. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective actions of TGF-β1 on the cortex require further investigation. Methods Thus, in this study, we were aimed to investigate the regulatory function of TGF-β1 on neuronal autophagy and apoptosis using an in vitro primary cortical neuron trauma-injury model. Results To establish the landscape of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with or without TGF-β1 (10ng/ml) treatment for 24 hours, we performed RNA-sequencing. We observed significant enrichment of DEGs related to autophagy, apoptosis, and the lysosome pathway in trauma-injured cortical neurons. Additionally, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed the presence of autophagosomes as well as autophagolysosomes. Western blot analysis revealed upregulation of autophagy-related protein light chain 3 (LC3)-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ, sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1)/p62, along with apoptosis-related protein Cleaved-caspase3 in trauma-injured primary cortical neurons. Furthermore, mechanically injured neurons showed an upregulation of lysosomal marker protein lysosomal marker protein (LAMP1) and lysosomal enzyme mature cathepsin D (mCTSD), but a decrease in the activity of CTSD enzyme. These results indicated that apoptosis was up-regulated in mechanically injured neurons at 24 hours, accompanied by lysosomal dysfunction and impaired autophagic flux. Notably, TGF-β1 significantly reversed these changes. Conclusions Therefore, our findings suggested that TGF-β1 exerted neuroprotective effects on mechanically injured neurons by reducing lysosomal dysfunction, decreasing the accumulation of autophagosomes and autophagolysosomes, and enhancing autophagic flux.

Project description:Background. Coagulopathic bleeding is a major cause of mortality after trauma, and platelet dysfunction contributes to this problem. The causes of platelet dysfunction are relatively unknown, but a great deal can be learned from the plasma environment about the possible pathways involved.
Objective. Describe the changes in plasma proteomic profile associated with platelet dysfunction after trauma.
Methods. Citrated blood was collected from severely injured trauma patients at the time of their arrival to the Emergency Department. Samples were collected from 110 patients, and a subset of twenty-four patients was identified by a preserved (n=12) or severely impaired (n=12) platelet aggregation response to five different agonists. Untargeted proteomics was performed by nanoflow liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Protein abundance levels for each patient were normalized to total protein concentration to control for hemodilution by crystalloid fluid infusion prior to blood draw.
Results. Patients with platelet dysfunction were more severely injured but otherwise demographically similar to those with retained platelet function. Of 232 proteins detected, twelve were significantly different between groups. These proteins fall into several broad categories related to platelet function, including microvascular obstruction with platelet activation, immune activation, and protease activation.
Conclusions. This observational study provides a description of the change in proteomic profile associated with platelet dysfunction after trauma and identifies twelve proteins with the most profound changes. The pathways involving these proteins are salient targets for immediate investigation to better understand platelet dysfunction after trauma and identify targets for intervention.

Project description:The intrinsic mechanisms that regulate neurotoxic versus neuroprotective astrocyte phenotypes and their effects on central nervous system (CNS) degeneration and repair remain poorly understood. Here, we show injured white matter astrocytes differentiate into two distinct C3-positive and C3-negative reactive populations, previously simplified as neurotoxic (A1) and neuroprotective (A2)1,2, which can be further subdivided into unique subpopulations defined by proliferation and differential gene expression signatures. We find the balance of neurotoxic versus neuroprotective astrocytes is regulated by discrete pools of compartmented cAMP derived from soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) and show proliferating neuroprotective astrocytes inhibit microglial activation and downstream neurotoxic astrocyte differentiation to promote retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival. Finally, we report a new, therapeutically tractable viral vector to specifically target optic nerve head astrocytes and show elevating nuclear or depleting cytoplasmic cAMP in reactive astrocytes inhibits deleterious immune cell infiltration and promotes RGC survival after optic nerve injury. Thus, soluble adenylyl cyclase and compartmented, nuclear- and cytoplasmic-localized cAMP in reactive astrocytes act as a molecular switch for neuroprotective astrocyte reactivity that can be targeted to inhibit microglial activation and neurotoxic astrocyte differentiation to therapeutic effect. These data expand upon and define new reactive astrocyte subtypes and represents a novel step towards the development of gliotherapeutics for the treatment of glaucoma and other optic neuropathies.

Project description:These data show that the genes that distinguish myofibroblasts from fibroblasts are myriad, and that some genes not traditionally associated with myofibroblast differentiation may serve as novel therapeutic targets for fibrosing disorders. Gene expression levels were assessed from total RNA on the Affymetrix U219 microarray. Here, we use transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which has recently been shown to reverse myofibroblast differentiation, to investigate the transcriptomic changes that occur during TGF-β1-induced differentiation and PGE2-induced de-differentiation of myofibroblasts.

Project description:Myocardial infarctions cause hypoxic injury to downstream tissue and a consequent fibrotic remodeling process to replace injured tissue with a scar. Scar formation occurs through phases of wound healing in which stimuli such as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) drive cardiac fibroblasts to activate into a myofibroblast phenotype and deposit matrix molecules that form a scar. While this is necessary to repair injured tissue, excessive fibrosis commonly occurs which is correlated with heart failure. Therefore, defining cardiac fibroblast phenotypes under hypoxic stimuli and TGF-β is essential for understanding and treating pathological fibrosis. We robustly characterized fibroblast phenotype through immunofluorescence, quantitative RT-PCR, and proteomic analysis, after either TGF-β treatment or hypoxia durations that mimic acute hypoxic injury post-infarction. We find that hypoxic fibroblasts respond to low oxygen with increased hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) but not HIF-2 activity by 4h. This is accompanied by increased gene and protein levels of VEGFA and LOX, respectively, which are both targets of HIF-1. Both TGF-β1 and hypoxia inhibit proliferation by 24h. While TGF-β1 treatment upregulated various fibrotic pathways, hypoxia causes a global reduction in protein synthesis, including collagen biosynthesis. This study discerns overlapping from distinctive outcomes of TGF-β1 and hypoxia treatment, which is important for elucidating their roles in fibrotic remodeling post-MI.

Project description:Immune dysfunction is an important factor driving mortality and adverse outcomes after trauma but remains poorly understood, especially at cellular level. To deconvolute the trauma-induced immune response, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing to circulating and bone marrow mononuclear cells in injured mice and circulating mononuclear cells in trauma patients. In mice, the greatest changes in gene expression were seen in monocytes across both compartments. After systemic injury, the gene expression pattern of monocytes markedly deviated from steady state with corresponding changes in critical transcription factors (TFs), which can be traced back to myeloid progenitors. These changes were largely recapitulated in the human single-cell analysis. We generalized the major changes in human CD14+ monocytes into six signatures, which further defined two trauma patient subtypes (SG1 vs. SG2) identified in the whole blood leukocyte transcriptome in the initial 12h after injury. Compared with SG2, SG1 patients exhibited delayed recovery, more severe organ dysfunction and a higher incidence of infection and non-infectious complications. The two patient subtypes were also recapitulated in burn and sepsis patients, revealing a shared pattern of immune response across critical illness. Our data will be broadly useful to further explore the immune response to inflammatory diseases and critical illness.
