Project description:Macrophages in atherosclerotic aorta are major population in lesion and contributes to lesion formation by becoming foam cells. To investigate in vivo transcriptome profiles of those macrophages, we extracted foamy and non-foamy macrophages from atherosclerotic aorta using lipid probe-based flow cytometry sorting. Our data indicates that intima non-foamy and foamy macrophages show different mRNA expressions. Rather than non-foamy macrophages, foamy macrophages expressed more genes related to cholesterol metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, lysosome and so on. The non-foamy macrophages expressed more genes related to immune response (Il-1b related pathways, TNF, TLR signaling pathways) than foamy macrophages.

Project description:Atherosclerosis-associated vascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Clinical and experimental data demonstrated that circulating monocytes internalize plasma lipoproteins and become lipid-laden foamy cells in hypercholesterolemic subjects. This study was designed to identify the endocytic mechanisms responsible for foamy monocyte formation, perform functional and transcriptomic analysis of foamy and non-foamy monocytes, and characterize specific monocyte subsets in the circulation from normocholesterolemic controls and hypercholesterolemic patients. The presence of foamy monocytes was confirmed in hypercholesterolemic mice and humans via flow cytometry analysis. High resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and quantification of FITC/TRITC-dextran internalization demonstrated macropinocytosis stimulation in human (THP-1) and wild type murine monocytes in vitro. Stimulation of macropinocytosis induced foamy monocyte formation in the presence of unmodified, native LDL (nLDL) and oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) in vitro. Genetic blockade of macropinocytosis (LysMCre+ Nhe1f/f) inhibited foamy monocyte formation in hypercholesterolemic mice in vivo and attenuated monocyte adhesion to atherosclerotic aortas ex vivo. qRT-PCR quantified mRNA levels of major scavenger receptors (SR) in foamy and non-foamy monocytes and identified CD36 as a major SR increasing in response to lipid loading. Deletion of CD36 (Cd36-/-) inhibited foamy monocyte formation in hypercholesterolemic mice. Mechanistic studies identified NADPH oxidase 2 (Nox2)-derived superoxide (O2⋅−) as an important downstream signaling molecule stimulating macropinocytosis in monocytes. Bulk RNA-sequencing characterized transcriptional differences between non-foamy and foamy monocytes and macrophages. Flow cytometry analysis of CD14 and CD16 expression demonstrated a significant increase in intermediate monocytes in hypercholesterolemic patients compared to normocholesterolemic controls. These results provide novel insights into the mechanisms of foamy monocyte formation and potentially identify new therapeutic targets in the treatment of atherosclerosis.

Project description:The rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaques, leading to debilitating or fatal thrombotic events, is a major health burden worldwide. Limited understanding as to the molecular drivers of plaque instability and rupture hinders efforts in diagnosis and treatment prior to thrombotic events. Utilising an advanced pre-clinical mouse model (Tandem stenosis (TS) model), which presents human-like unstable atherosclerotic disease, we apply high-end omic methods to characterize the molecular signatures associated with plaque instability in atherosclerotic arteries. Through quantitative proteomic profiling, we depict unique proteome signatures of unstable plaques compared to stable plaques and healthy arteries. Coupled with single-cell RNA-sequencing of leukocytes, we describe the heterodimer complex S100a8/S100a9 as unique to unstable plaque, with neutrophils implicated as the transcriptional drivers of S100a8/a9 expression. We confirm S100a9 expression in human carotid atherosclerotic plaques and we further utilise the TS pre-clinical model to pharmacologically inhibit S100a8/S100a9, resulting in plaque stabilisation. Thus, we establish the TS model as a sophisticated translational tool for the profiling of unstable atherosclerotic plaques and demonstrate that unstable and stable atherosclerosis are highly different disease entities.

Project description:In order to identify potential new biomarkers of atherosclerotic plaque composition we performed a large scale analysis of gene expression patterns in human atherosclerotic lesions. Whole genome expression analysis of 101 peripheral plaques identified a robust gene signature (1514 genes) dominated by inflammatory processes, and cholesterol metabolism and storage genes. Specific pathways enriched in this signature included activation of the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, T-cell activation, cholesterol efflux, oxidative stress response, inflammatory cytokine production, vasoconstriction and lysosomal activity. Analysis of gene expression in plaque micro-dissected material revealed that the signature is strongly up-regulated in macrophage-rich regions and down-regulated in regions with high smooth muscle cell content. A smaller qPCR biomarker panel and inflammatory composite score (ICS) were developed to facilitate clinical translation of discoveries from gene expression profiling. We found that ICS correlates with histological features related to plaque vulnerability. In addition, ICS is able to separate groups of plaques obtained from symptomatic and asymptomatic patients undergoing carotid endarerectomy. In summary, we identified a robust mRNA biomarker panel associated with histo-pathological as well as clinical hallmarks of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque. This panel may be used as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in clinical setting to evaluate novel anti-atherosclerotic therapies. 6 human carotid plaques were sectioned in 1 mm thick slices. Alternative slices were used for gene expression profiling in Affymetrix/Merck custom 1.0 arrays (GPL10687), or for immunohistochemistry studies (CD68, Actin)
