Project description:Purpose: Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are hemorrhagic neurovascular malformations that may lead to stroke, seizures and other clinical sequelae. Recent studies have shown that somatic mutations in MAP3K3 and PIK3CA also contribute to CCM pathogenesis; however, it remains unclear how these mutations contribute to sporadic versus familial cases. In our previous research, we’ve shown that co-occurring MAP3K3 and PIK3CA mutations are present within the same clonal population of cells. The overall goal of this study was to identify PIK3CA mutations in CCM-associated developmental venous anomalies (DVA). We also analyzed the plasma miRNome of patients with (1) DVA without associated CCM, as well as (2) DVA with an associated CCM) to identify circulating miRNAs that might serve as biomarkers reflecting PIK3CA activity. Methods: We collected and sequenced the plasma miRNome of 12 individuals with a sporadic CCM associated with a DVA (CCM + DVA), 6 individuals with a DVA without a CCM (DVA only), and 7 healthy controls. Results: We found that the identical PIK3CA mutation is found in endothelial cells of both the DVA and its associated CCM, but that an activating MAP3K3 mutation appears only in the CCM. The analyses miR-134-5p was downregulated in the groups of patients with only a DVA only group (when compared to healthy controls). This miRNA has been shown to target PIK3CA. In addition, miR-182-5p, was upregulated and targets MAP3K3; while let-7c-5p was downregulated and targets both PIK3CA and MAP3K3 in the group of patients with CCM and an associated DVA (when compared to DVA only). Conclusions: These results support a mechanism where DVA develop as the result of a PIK3CA mutation, creating a region of the brain vasculature that functions as a genetic primer for CCM development following acquisition of an additional somatic mutation.

Project description:Cerebral cavernous malformations are vascular anomalies that can cause hemorrhagic stroke. Mutations in genes encoding Krit 1 (CCM1), OSM (CCM2), and PDCD10 (CCM3) proteins cause CCM. A loss in teh expression of any of these CCM proteins disrupts normal cerebral vessel development by disrupting the cytoskeleton and thereby inhibits endothelial tube ofrmation. Examination of cellular changes based on the loss of CCM gene expression may lead to the methods for early detection and prevention of CCM associated hemorrhagic stroke.

Project description:BackgroundThe clinical profiles of cerebellar cavernous malformations (CCMs) with and without associated developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are not well known. The aims of this study were to analyze the clinical and radiological characteristics of CCMs and to assess the various therapeutic strategies.MethodsA consecutive series of 41 patients with identified CCMs were retrospectively reviewed. Of these, 11 patients (26.8%) were found to have associated DVAs. We compared the clinical profile of the two groups of patients (CCMs with and without DVAs). The CCMs with DVAs cases underwent radical resection of the CCMs, and the distal radicles of the DVAs that directly drain from the CCMs were coagulated and dissected at the length of the CCMs.ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences between the two groups with regard to age, sex, location and size of lesions, multiplicity, and surgical prognosis. The patients with CCMs with DVAs did not experience any brain swelling or hemorrhagic tendency intraoperatively. The postoperative course was uneventful for all of the 36 surgical patients with the exception of two of the patients with CCMs with associated DVAs, who suffered from serious cerebellar edema, and one of these two patients underwent an emergency suboccipital decompression craniotomy. With the exception of three patients who were lost to follow-up (mean, 22.3 months), all of the CCMs patients exhibited good long-term prognosis (modified Rankin scale values of 0-2) and no reoccurrence.ConclusionsIt is not rare that associated DVAs occur in CCMs. The total removal of the CCM combined with the coagulation and dissection of the distal radicles of DVA at the length of the associated CCM may result in good long-term prognosis in patients.

Project description:Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are anomalies that develop mainly in the cerebral vasculature. They result from mutations in CCM1/KRIT1, CCM2, or CCM3/PDCD10. Loss of CCM proteins triggers a MAPK-Krüppel-like factor 2 (KLF2) signaling cascade, which induces a pathophysiological pattern of gene expression within endothelial cells. The downstream target genes that are activated by KLF2 are mostly unknown. Here we show that Chromobox Protein Homolog 7 (CBX7), component of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1, contributes to pathophysiological KLF2 signaling during zebrafish cardiovascular development. CBX7/cbx7a mRNA is strongly upregulated in lesions of CCM patients, and in human, mouse, and zebrafish CCM-deficient endothelial cells. The silencing or pharmacological inhibition of CBX7/Cbx7a suppresses pathological CCM phenotypes in ccm2 zebrafish, CCM2-deficient HUVECs, and in a pre-clinical murine CCM3 disease model. Whole-transcriptome datasets from zebrafish cardiovascular tissues and human endothelial cells reveal that CBX7/Cbx7a plays a role in the activation of KLF2 targets including genes encoding TEK, Angiopoietin1, WNT9, and endoMT proteins. Our findings uncover an intricate interplay in the regulation of Klf2-dependent biomechanical signaling by CBX7 in CCM. This work also provides insights for therapeutic strategies in the pathogenesis of CCM.

Project description:Distinct endothelial cell cycle states (early G1 vs. late G1) provide different “windows of opportunity” to enable the differential expression of genes that regulate venous and arterial specification, respectively. Endothelial cell cycle control and arterial-venous identities are disrupted in vascular malformations including arteriovenous (AV) shunts which is a hallmark of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). We show how endothelial cell late G1 arrest induced by Palbociclib modulates the expression of genes regulating arterio-venous identity and prevents AVM development induced by BMP9/10 inhibition.

Project description:Objective: Vascular malformations affect 3% of neonates. Venous malformations (VMs) are the largest group representing more than 50 % of cases. In hereditary forms of VMs gene mutations have been identified, but for the large group of spontaneous forms the primary cause and downstream dysregulated genes are unknown. Methods and Results: We have performed a global comparison of gene expression in slow-flow VMs and normal saphenous veins using human whole genome micro-arrays. Genes of interest were validated with qRT-PCR. Gene expression in the tunica media was studied after laser micro-dissection of small pieces of tissue. Protein expression in endothelial cells (ECs) was studied with antibodies. We detected 511 genes more than 4-fold down- and 112 genes more than 4-fold up-regulated. Notably, chemokines, growth factors, transcription factors and regulators of extra-cellular matrix (ECM) turnover were regulated. We observed activation and arterialization of ECs of the VM proper, whereas ECs of vasa vasorum exhibited up-regulation of inflammation markers. In the tunica media, an altered ECM turnover and composition was found. Conclusions: Our studies demonstrate dysregulated gene expression in tunica interna, media and externa of VMs, and show that each of the three layers represents a reactive compartment. The dysregulated genes may serve as therapeutic targets. Keywords: disease analysis
