Project description:Venous tumour thrombus (VTT), where the primary tumour invades the renal vein and inferior vena cava, affects 10-15% of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients. Curative surgery for VTT is high-risk, but neoadjuvant therapy may improve outcomes. The NAXIVA trial demonstrated a 35% VTT response rate after 8 weeks of neoadjuvant axitinib, a VEGFR-directed therapy. However, understanding non-response is critical for better treatment. We conducted a multiparametric investigation of samples collected during NAXIVA using digital pathology, flow cytometry, plasma cytokine profiling and RNA sequencing. Responders had higher baseline microvessel density and increased induction of VEGF-A and PlGF during treatment. A multi-modal machine learning model integrating features predicted response with an AUC of 0.868, improving to 0.945 when using features from week 3. Key predictive features included plasma CCL17 and IL-12. These findings may guide future treatment strategies for VTT, improving the clinical management of this challenging scenario.

Project description:Recent advancements have identified numerous long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) involved in various biological processes and diseases. However, the roles of lncRNAs in venous thromboembolism (VTE) remain largely unexplored. This study aims to elucidate the expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in a well-established animal model of VTE. Acute thrombosis was induced by surgical ligation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) within 24 hours. The thrombus burden in venous vessels was evaluated using hematoxylin and eosin staining and Masson's trichrome staining. The IVC and associated thrombus were harvested 24 hours post-ligation, and the extracted RNA was subjected to RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis. This study offers a comprehensive overview of the expression profiles of lncRNAs and mRNAs in a murine model of venous thrombosis, providing novel insights into the roles of RNAs in VTE.

Project description:Renal cell carcinoma with venous tumor thrombus opens the unique opportunity to investigate the clonal evolution of a tumor in two fundamentally different compartments i.e., within the confinement of an organ and inside a large blood vessel. We performed multiregion whole exome sequencing of a total of 37 samples from five consecutive patients (normal tissue, n=5; primary tumors, n=16; tumor thrombi, n=16) to >35-fold target coverage. Four patients had a clear cell RCC, one patient had a poorly differentiated type II papillary RCC (RCC-VTT-04). The latter patient had a friable thrombus, the others were of solid consistency.

Project description:Here we report that Axitinib, an inhibitor of VEGFRs currently in use as a second line treatment for advanced renal cell carcinoma, promotes senescence of human endothelial cells in vitro. Mechanistically, this requires oxidative stress-dependent activation of the Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) kinase. Induction of oxidative stress-related genes distinguishes the response of endothelial cells to Axitinib from that to doxorubicin

Project description:Development of spider veins is caused by the remodeling of veins located in the upper dermis and promoted by risk factors such as obesity or pregnancy that chronically increase venous pressure. We have repeatedly shown that the pressure-induced increase in biomechanical wall stress is sufficient to evoke the formation of enlarged corkscrew-like superficial veins in mice. Subsequent experimental approaches revealed that interference with endothelial- and/or smooth muscle cell activation counteracts this remodeling process. Here, we investigate whether the herbal agent glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) is a suitable candidate for that purpose given its anti-proliferative as well as anti-oxidative properties. While basic abilities of cultured venous smooth muscle cells (SMCs) such as migration and proliferation were not influenced by GA, it inhibited proliferation but not angiogenic sprouting of human venous endothelial cells (ECs). Further analyses of biomechanically stimulated ECs revealed that GA inhibits the DNA binding capacity of the mechanosensitive transcription factor activator protein-1 (AP-1) which, however, had only a minor impact on the endothelial transcriptome. Nevertheless, by decreasing gelatinase activity in ECs or mouse veins exposed to biomechanical stress, GA diminished a crucial cellular response in the context of venous remodeling. In line with the observed inhibitory effects, local transdermal application of GA attenuated pressure-mediated enlargement of veins in the mouse auricle. In summary, our data identifies GA as an inhibitor of EC proliferation, gelatinase activity and venous remodeling. It may thus have the capacity to attenuate spider vein formation and remodeling in humans.

Project description:Thromboembolic diseases are commonly associated with thrombus-induced ischemia and tissue damage; identification of the location of the thrombus, or thrombus-targeting, may facilitate diagnosis and target therapy. We hypothesized that aptamers with high affinity and specificity for coagulation factor XIII (FXIII) can serve as thrombus-targeting probes. With systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment technology and semi-activated FXIII (FXIII’) as the target, guanine-rich FXIII’-binding aptamers (FAs; 76 nt) were selected from a library of single-stranded DNA. Next generation sequencing identified FAs with the highest frequency; bio-layer interferometry revealed a dissociation constant (Kd) from 0.7 to 2.5 nM. Truncation with preservation of a conserved region based on entropy analysis resulted in three truncated FAs (FATs; 41-47 nt) that exhibited 4-fold signal in binding to activated vs. resting platelets, as determined by flowcytometry. In addition, FAT2 exhibited up to 4.2-fold binding of that from scrambled ssDNA to platelet/fibrin clot or whole blood clot in vitro, suggesting binding to both activated plateltes and fibrin. FAT2 also exhibited targeting effects in a microcirculatory thrombosis model in mice. Nevertheless, FATs induced no effect on blood coagulation, as determined by thromboelastometry. In conclusion, FXIII-binding aptamers are potentially amenable to thrombus targeting in theranostic application of thromboembolic diseases.

Project description:Purpose: To explore the possible pathogenesis of venous thromboembolism from the perspective of circRNAs. Methods: The thrombus model of inferior vena cava in SD rats was established by stenosis method. Peripheral blood samples of DVT rats were collected at 1h, 6h,12h and 3d, which were sequenced with Illumina circRNAs and mRNA. The differential circRNAs and mRNA were analyzed by STEM analysis software. Clusters that can reflect the evolution of thrombus were selected for in-depth analysis, and circRNAs and mRNA were screened according to the pathway enrichment analysis of the selected clusters. Real time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to verify and determine the candidate circRNAs and mRNA. The function of target circRNA was verified in DVT rats. The interacting miRNAs of circRNAs and mRNA were predicted by online database respectively. Candidate miRNAs were identified by integrating the related information of miRNAs and verified by qPCR. Results:The SD rat model of deep venous thrombosis was successfully established by the stenosis method. In model group, there were 736, 3691, 3406 and 2639 circRNAs up-regulated and 944, 327, 318 and 397 circRNAs down-regulated at 1h, 6h, 12h and 3d, respectively. Compared with Sham group, 169, 885, 298 and 500 mRNA were up-regulated and 231, 291,75 and 73 mRNA were down-regulated at 1h, 6h, 12h and 3d in model group, respectively. STEM analysis found that cluster 45 was similar to thrombus development. The pathway related to platelet function was selected in cluster 45, and 10 circrRNAs and 4 interacting mRNAs were selected for qPCR verification by combining the gene in platelet pathway and annotation gene of cluster 45 and mRNA-circRNA interaction network. According to qPCR results and whether ID is found in rat circRNA database (CIRCpedia-V2), CBT15_circR_3235 (ID in circpedia-v2: rno_CIRCpedia_1953) is determined as the target circRNA. In vivo，knockdown of rno_CIRCpedia_1953 attenuates the formation of DVT in rats. The potential target miRNAs of rno_CIRCpedia_1953 and Tuba4a were predicted by using online miRDB and miRWalk databases respectively, and rno-miR-3543, rno-miR-320-5p and rno-miR-26b-3p are preliminarily identified as potential target miRNAs that rno_CIRCpedia_1953 may combine to play the ceRNA mechanism. Conclusions: Animal model of DVT in rats was successfully established by stenosis method. High-throughput sequencing analysis of circRNAs showed that circRNAs participated in the evolution of DVT. According to STEM functional analysis of mRNA sequencing, a target circRNA rno_CIRCpedia _1953 was screened, verified and identified. rno_CIRCpedia_1953 may participate in the development of DVT by acting as miRNA molecular sponge.
