Project description:Early transcriptomic response to n-LDL and ox-LDL in human vascular smooth muscle cells (hVSMC). We used microarrays with the aim of assessing early molecular changes that induce a response in the VSMC using native and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (n-LDL and ox-LDL).
Project description:Early transcriptomic response to n-LDL and ox-LDL in human vascular smooth muscle cells (hVSMC). We used microarrays with the aim of assessing early molecular changes that induce a response in the VSMC using native and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (n-LDL and ox-LDL). For each LDL internalization experiment, three biological replicates were used and the samples pooled with the aim of obtain three technical replicates (three arrays for condition).
Project description:Atherosclerosis (AS) is one of the most common diseases in middle-age and elderly population. Lipid metabolism disorder induced foaming of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) is an important pathological process of AS. Mitochondria plays an important role in lipids metabolism. While it is not known whether regulating mitochondrial function can protect ox-LDL induced VSMC foaming via metabolic reprogramming. With ox-LDL induced mouse model of VSMC injury, the injury effect of ox-LDL and the protective effect of mdivi-1, the mitochondrial fission inhibitor on mitochondrial morphology and function of VSMC, and the formation of lipid droplet were observed. With metabonomics and proteomics techniques, the main lipid metabolites and regulation proteins were identified. The results showed that Ox-LDL induced a significant mitochondrial fission and fragmentation of VSMC, and mitochondrial function disorder along with lipid deposition and foaming. Mdivi-1 significantly antagonized the damage effect of ox-LDL on mitochondrial morphology and function of VSMC, and blocked the lipid deposition. Metabonomics analysis found 848 different metabolites between ox-LDL and mdivi-1 treatment group, in which the lipid metabolites were the main, and heptadecanoic acid, palmitoleic acid and myristic acid were the critical metabolites changed most. Proteomics results showed that there were 125 differential expressed proteins between ox-LDL and mdivi-1 treatment, acetyl -CoA carboxylase1 and fatty acid synthase were the main differential expressed proteins. This study suggest that Mitochondrial fission plays an important role in VSMC lipid deposition and foaming. Inhibition of mitochondrial fission may effectively fight against ox-LDL induced lipid deposition and foaming of VSMC via improving mitochondrial function and metabolic reprogramming. This finding provides a new insight for prevention and treatment of AS.
Project description:LDL or Ox-LDL 200ug/ml, which showed no loss of viability after a 48 hour exposure, induced a physiological and pathological transcriptional response, respectively. LDL induced a downregulation of genes associated with cholesterol biosynthesis while ox-LDL induced transcriptional alterations in genes related to inflammation, matrix expansion, lipid metabolism and processing, and apoptosis. Pentraxin-3 was secreted into the culture medium after RPE cells were stimulated with ox-LDL, and immunohistochemically evident in Bruchs membrane of human macular samples with age-related macular degeneration. ARPE-19 cells exposed to 200ug/ml ox-LDL had a 38% apoptosis rate compared to less than 1% when exposed to LDL or untreated controls (p<0.0001). While LDL induced a physiologic response by RPE cells, a pathological phenotypic response was seen after treatment with oxidatively modified LDL. The transcriptional, biochemical, and functional data provide initial support of a role for the hypothesis that modified LDLs are one trigger for initiating events that contribute to the development of age-related macular degeneration. Keywords: treatment with non-treatment control Human ARPE-19 cells were exposed to LDL or oxidatively modified LDL (ox-LDL) for 48 hours for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to determine whether retina, pigment epithelial cells develop a pathologic phenotype after exposure to low density lipoproteins (LDL) that are oxidatively modified.We have made two comparsions: LDL treatment versus non-treatment; ox-LDL treatment versus non-treatment.

Project description:Target genes regulated by ox-LDL treatment in bladder cancer cells T24 were identified by microarrays. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from bladder cancer cells T24 starved with serum-free medium and then treated with 20 μg/mL ox-LDL or vehicle for 24 h. These data are used to obtain genes that are differentially expressed in response to ox-LDL treatment.
Project description:Since previous stduies demostrated that oxidized phospholipids function as caspase-11 agonists to induce noncanonical inflammasome activation in immune cells and the levels of oxidized phospholipids derived from ox-LDL are largely elevated in atherosclerotic lesions. Purpose:RNA-Sequencing analysis of ox-LDL-treated peritoneal macrophages transcriptomes.Methods and results:The principal component analysis gene expression profiles of the control and ox-LDL-treated groups were clearly distinct. Among the DEGs that met the cutoff criteria of a -log10(false discovery rate (FDR)) > 2 and |log2(fold change (FC)| > 2. A total of 1,388 downregulated and 855 upregulated genes were identified. GSEA showed that the dominant upregulated pathways in ox-LDL-treated macrophages were associated with the IL-1-mediated signaling pathway, response to cytokine stimulus, and granulocyte migrationwe discovered that caspase-11-mediated inflammation signaling was significantly activated in ox-LDL-treated peritoneal macrophages.Conclusions:we verified caspase11associated inflammatory signaling was significantly activated in ox-LDL-treated macrophages.
