CCN2 deficiency in smooth muscle cells triggers cell reprogramming and aggravates aneurysm development

Project description:Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic switching is widely recognized as a key mechanism responsible for the pathogenesis of several aortic diseases such as aortic aneurysm. Cellular communication network factor 2 (CCN2), often upregulated in human pathologies and animal disease models, exerts a myriad of context-dependent biological functions. However, current understanding of the role of SMC-CCN2 in SMC phenotypic switching and its function in the pathology of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is lacking. Here we report the effect of SMC-restricted CCN2 deficiency of hypercholesterolemic mice on gene expression in infrarenal aorta with or without angiotensin II (Ang II)-infusion.

CCN2 deficiency in smooth muscle cells triggers cell reprogramming and aggravates aneurysm development.

Project description:Vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypic switching is widely recognized as a key mechanism responsible for the pathogenesis of several aortic diseases, such as aortic aneurysm. Cellular communication network factor 2 (CCN2), often upregulated in human pathologies and animal disease models, exerts myriad context-dependent biological functions. However, current understanding of the role of SMC-CCN2 in SMC phenotypic switching and its function in the pathology of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is lacking. Here, we show that SMC-restricted CCN2 deficiency causes AAA in the infrarenal aorta of angiotensin II-infused (Ang II-infused) hypercholesterolemic mice at a similar anatomic location to human AAA. Notably, the resistance of naive C57BL/6 WT mice to Ang II-induced AAA formation is lost upon silencing of CCN2 in SMC. Furthermore, the pro-AAA phenotype of SMC-CCN2-KO mice is recapitulated in a different model that involves the application of elastase-β-aminopropionitrile. Mechanistically, our findings reveal that CCN2 intersects with TGF-β signaling and regulates SMC marker expression. Deficiency of CCN2 triggers SMC reprograming associated with alterations in Krüppel-like factor 4 and contractile marker expression, and this reprograming likely contributes to the development of AAA in mice. These results identify SMC-CCN2 as potentially a novel regulator of SMC phenotypic switching and AA biology.

PRDM16 Deficiency in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Aggravates Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Project description:Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is usually asymptomatic until life-threatening complications occur, predominantly involving aortic rupture. Currently, no drug-based treatments are available, primarily due to limited understanding of AAA pathogenesis. The transcriptional regulator PR domain–containing protein 16 (PRDM16) is highly expressed in the aorta, but its functions in the aorta are largely unknown. By RNA-seq analysis, we found that vascular smooth muscle cell–specific (VSMC-specific) Prdm16-knockout (Prdm16SMKO) mice already showed extensive changes in the expression of genes associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and inflammation in the abdominal aorta under normal housing conditions without any pathological stimuli. Human AAA lesions displayed lower PRDM16 expression. Periadventitial elastase application to the suprarenal region of the abdominal aorta aggravated AAA formation in Prdm16SMKO mice. During AAA development, VSMCs undergo apoptosis because of both intrinsic and environmental changes, including inflammation and ECM remodeling. Prdm16 deficiency promoted inflammation and apoptosis in VSMCs. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 12 (ADAM12) is a gelatinase that can degrade various ECMs. We found that ADAM12 is a target of transcriptional repression by PRDM16. Adam12 knockdown reversed VSMC apoptosis induced by Prdm16 deficiency. Our study demonstrated that PRDM16 deficiency in VSMCs promoted ADAM12 expression and aggravates AAA formation, which may provide potential targets for AAA treatment.

Aging aggravates aortic aneurysm and dissection via the miR-1204-MYLK signaling axis

Project description:The mechanism by which aging induces aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) remains unclear. A total of 430 subjects were recruited for screening of differentially expressed plasma microRNAs. We found that miR-1204 was significantly increased in both plasma and aorta of elder patients with AAD, and was positively correlated with age. Cell senescence induced the expression of miR-1204 through p53 interaction with plasmacytoma variant translocation 1, and miR-1204 induced vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) senescence to form a positive feedback loop. miR-1204 aggravated angiotensin II-induced AAD formation, and inhibition of miR-1204 attenuated β-aminopropionitrile monofumarate-induced AAD formation. Mechanistically, miR-1204 directly targeted myosin light chain kinase (MYLK) to promote VSMCs to acquire senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and lose their contractile phenotype. Overexpression of MYLK reversed miR-1204-induced VSMC senescence, SASP and contractile phenotype changes, and the decrease of transforming growth factor-β signaling pathway. Our findings suggest aging aggravates AAD via miR-1204-MYLK signaling axis.

CCN2 regulates smooth muscle cell trans-differentiation and lipid accumulation in atherosclerosis

Project description:Accruing evidence illustrates an emerging paradigm of dynamic vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) trans-differentiation during atherosclerosis progression. However, the molecular regulators that govern SMC phenotype diversification remain poorly defined. This study aims to elucidate the functional role and underlying mechanisms of cellular communication network factor 2 (CCN2), a matricellular protein, in regulating SMC plasticity in the context of atherosclerosis.

Smooth muscle cell-specific Klf4 deletion in Marfan syndrome aortic root aneurysm

Project description:Aortic smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotype modulation is a central feature of cell-mediated pathology in Marfan syndrome aortic aneurysm and Klf4 is proposed to contribute to this process. We generated mice with smooth muscle cell-specific Klf4 deletion using an Myh11-creERT2 transgene, induced deletion at 8 weeks and performed single cell RNA sequencing at 24 weeks on whole aortic root tissues.
