Project description:Induction of the inhibitory Smad, Smad7 serves as a negative feedback mechanism that restrains TGF-b-mediated actions in injured tissues. In inflammatory cells, Smad7 has been suggested to exert both pro-inflammatory actions attributed to inhibition of TGF-b-induced suppression of inflammation, and anti-inflammatory effects due to disruption of the TAK-1/NF-kB system. Myocardial infarction triggers a macrophage-driven inflammatory response that plays a central role in cardiac repair, but also contributes to adverse remodeling and fibrosis. We hypothesized that Smad7 upregulation in infarct macrophages may play a modulatory role in cardiac repair, by restraining effects of TGF-b. To test the hypothesis, we investigated the response of Myeloid cell-specific Smad7 knockout mice (MyS7KO) following myocardial infarction protocols, and we examined the in vitro effects of Smad7 in isolated macrophages. Smad7 was upregulated in a subset of infarct macrophages, peaking 7 days after infarction. Myeloid cell-specific Smad7 loss did not affect baseline macrophage gene expression and had no significant effects on homeostatic functions. Although RNA-seq analysis predicted that, in the absence of Smad7, infarct macrophages may have attenuated activation of inflammatory pathways and suppressed TREM1 signaling, myeloid cell-specific Smad7 loss had no significant effects on ventricular dysfunction, adverse remodeling, scar remodeling and collagen deposition after myocardial infarction. In isolated macrophages, TGF-b attenuated pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine expression, modulated synthesis of matrix remodeling genes, and had profound effects on macrophage profile, inducing genes associated with activation of sphingosine-1 phosphate and integrin signaling pathways, and inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis genes. However, RNA-seq and PCR array experiments showed that Smad7 loss has minimal effects on TGF-b-mediated macrophage responses, restraining synthesis of only a small fraction of TGF-b-induced genes, such as Itga5, Olfml3 and Fabp7. Smad7 absence did not affect the anti-inflammatory actions of TGF-b in TNF-stimulated cells. In conclusion, our findings suggest a limited role for macrophage Smad7 in regulation of post-infarction inflammation and repair, and demonstrate that the anti-inflammatory effects of TGF-b in macrophages are not restrained by endogenous Smad7 induction.

Project description:Smad7 restrains TGF-β responses, and has been suggested to exert both pro- and anti-inflammatory actions that may involve effects on macrophages. Myocardial infarction triggers a macrophage-driven inflammatory response that not only plays a central role in cardiac repair, but also contributes to adverse remodeling and fibrosis. We hypothesized that macrophage Smad7 expression may regulate inflammation and fibrosis in the infarcted heart through suppression of TGF-β responses, or via TGF-independent actions. In a mouse model of myocardial infarction, infiltration with Smad7+ macrophages peaked 7 days after coronary occlusion. Myeloid cell-specific Smad7 loss in mice had no effects on homeostatic functions and did not affect baseline macrophage gene expression. RNA-seq predicted that Smad7 may promote TREM1-mediated inflammation in infarct macrophages. However, these alterations in the transcriptional profile of macrophages were associated with a modest and transient reduction in infarct myofibroblast infiltration, and did not affect dysfunction, chamber dilation, scar remodeling, collagen deposition, and macrophage recruitment. In vitro, RNA-seq and PCR arrays showed that TGF-β has profound effects on macrophage profile, attenuating pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokine expression, modulating synthesis of matrix remodeling genes, inducing genes associated with sphingosine-1 phosphate activation and integrin signaling, and inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis genes. However, Smad7 loss did not significantly affect TGF-β-mediated macrophage responses, modulating synthesis of only a small fraction of TGF-β-induced genes, including Itga5, Olfml3, and Fabp7. Our findings suggest a limited role for macrophage Smad7 in regulation of post-infarction inflammation and repair, and demonstrate that the anti-inflammatory effects of TGF-β in macrophages are not restrained by endogenous Smad7 induction.

Project description:Repair of the infarcted heart requires TGFβ-Smad3 signaling in cardiac myofibroblasts. However, TGF-β-driven myofibroblast activation needs to be tightly regulated in order to prevent excessive fibrosis and adverse remodeling that may precipitate heart failure. We hypothesized that induction of the inhibitory Smad, Smad7 may restrain infarct myofibroblast activation, and we examined the molecular mechanisms of Smad7 actions. In a mouse model of non-reperfused infarction, Smad3 activation triggered Smad7 synthesis in β-SMA+ infarct myofibroblasts, but not in β-SMA-/PDGFRα+ fibroblasts. Myofibroblast-specific Smad7 loss increased heart failure-related mortality, worsened dysfunction, and accentuated fibrosis in the infarct border zone and in the papillary muscles. Smad7 attenuated myofibroblast activation and reduced synthesis of structural and matricellular extracellular matrix proteins. Smad7 actions on TGF-β cascades involved de-activation of Smad2/3 and non-Smad pathways, without any effects on TGF-β receptor activity. Unbiased transcriptomic and proteomic analysis identified receptor tyrosine kinase signaling as a major target of Smad7. Smad7 interacted with Erbb2 in a TGF-independent manner and restrained Erbb1/Erbb2 activation, suppressing fibroblast expression of fibrogenic proteases, integrins and CD44. Smad7 induction in myofibroblasts serves as an endogenous TGF-β-induced negative feedback mechanism that inhibits post-infarction fibrosis by restraining Smad-dependent and Smad-independent TGF-β responses, and by suppressing TGF-independent fibrogenic actions of Erbb2.

Project description:Affymetrix microarray analysis of molecular changes after myocardial infarction. Samples of heart tissue were analyzed after myocardial infarction from WT and reg3beta knock-out mice. Samples from scar tissue and samples adjacent to the scar were analyzed. In the experiment we primarily compared infarction zone of wild-type to infarction zone of knock-out animals, and remote zone of wild-type to remote zone of knock-outs.

Project description:Despite a substantial progress in diagnosis and therapy, acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of mortality in the general population. A novel insight into the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction obtained by studying gene expression should help to discover novel biomarkers of MI and to suggest novel strategies of therapy. The aim of our study was to establish gene expression patterns in leukocytes from acute myocardial infarction patients. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction alters expression of several groups of genes. On admission, several genes and pathways that could be directly or indirectly linked with lipid/glucose metabolism, platelet function and atherosclerotic plaque stability were affected (signaling of PPAR, IL-10, IL-6). Analysis at discharge highlighted specific immune response (upregulation of immunoglobulins). Highly significant and substantial upregulation of SOCS3 and FAM20 genes expression in the first 4-6 days of myocardial infarction in all patients is the most robust observation of our work Twenty-eight patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were included. The blood was collected on the 1st day of myocardial infarction, after 4-6 days, and after 6 months. Control group comprised 14 patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), without history of myocardial infarction. Gene expression analysis was performed with Affymetrix GeneChipM-BM-. Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays and GCS3000 TG system.

Project description:Comparison of both LncRNAs and mRNAs expression in the border zone of the myocardial infarction rats and the sham operation rats Border zone (BZ) of the myocardial infarction is critical to patients. Current treatments of myocardial infarction are primarily aimed to save the dying myocardial cell in the border zone. During myocardial infarction, certain changes in BZ, e.g, apoptosis, fibrosis, inflammation, etc, played an important role in deciding the survival. Impairment and recovery of BZ has been linked to gene expression changes. The aim of our study was to obtain a global expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs of the border zone in Wistar rats myocardial infarction, and identify the changes during myocardial infarction.
