Hypoxia-activated platelets stimulate proliferation and migration of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells by phosphatidylserine/LOX-1 signaling-impelled intercellular communication. Cell Signal 2021; 87:110149. [PMID: 34520855 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2021.110149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Revised: 08/23/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Continuous recruitment and inappropriate activation of platelets in pulmonary arteries contribute to pulmonary vascular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Our previous study has demonstrated that lectin like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) regulates the proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Phosphatidylserine exposed on the surface of activated platelets is a ligand for LOX-1. However, whether hypoxia-activated platelets stimulate the proliferation and migration of PASMCs by phosphatidylserine/LOX-1 signaling-impelled intercellular communication remains unclear. The present study found that rats treated with hypoxia (10% O2) for 21 days revealed PH with the activation of platelets and the recruitment of platelets in pulmonary arteries, and LOX-1 knockout inhibited hypoxia-induced PH and platelets activation. Notably, co-incubation of PASMCs with hypoxic PH rats-derived platelets up-regulated LOX-1 expression in PASMCs leading to the proliferation and migration of PASMCs, which was inhibited by the phosphatidylserine inhibitor annexin V or the LOX-1 neutralizing antibody. LOX-1 knockout led to decreased proliferation and migration of PASMCs stimulated by hypoxia-activated platelets. In rats, hypoxia up-regulated the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) and the expression of Pim-1 in pulmonary arteries. Hypoxia-activated platelets also up-regulated the phosphorylation of Stat3 and the expression of Pim-1 in PASMCs, which was inhibited by annexin V, the LOX-1 neutralizing antibody, the protein kinase C inhibitor and LOX-1 knockout. In conclusion, we for the first time demonstrated that hypoxia-activated platelets stimulated the proliferation and migration of PASMCs by phosphatidylserine/LOX-1/PKC/Stat3/Pim-1 signaling-impelled intercellular communication, thereby potentially contributing to hypoxic pulmonary vascular remodeling.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, and atherosclerosis the principal factor underlying cardiovascular events. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by endothelial dysfunction, intimal lipid deposition, smooth muscle cell proliferation, cell apoptosis and necrosis, and local and systemic inflammation, involving key contributions to from innate and adaptive immunity. The balance between proatherogenic inflammatory and atheroprotective anti-inflammatory responses is modulated by a complex network of interactions among vascular components and immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and T, B, and foam cells; these interactions modulate the further progression and stability of the atherosclerotic lesion. In this review, we take a global perspective on existing knowledge about the pathogenesis of immune responses in the atherosclerotic microenvironment and the interplay between the major innate and adaptive immune factors in atherosclerosis. Studies such as this are the basis for the development of new therapies against atherosclerosis.

The protein S-nitrosylation of splicing and translational machinery in vascular endothelial cells is susceptible to oxidative stress induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein. J Proteomics 2019; 195:11-22. [PMID: 30630120 DOI: 10.1016/j.jprot.2019.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2018] [Revised: 12/18/2018] [Accepted: 01/05/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) can impair endothelial function and lead to the atherosclerosis development. Protein S-nitrosylation is sensitive to cellular redox state and acts as a crucial regulator and executor of nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathways. Aberrant S-nitrosylation contributes to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. However, the effect of ox-LDL on S-nitrosylation and its significance for endothelial dysfunction have not been studied at proteome level. Herein, the combined quantitative analysis of proteome and S-nitrosoproteome was performed using an integrated biotin switch and iTRAQ labeling approach in EA.hy926 cell line derived from human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) treated with ox-LDL. A total of 2204 S-nitrosylated (SNO) peptides of 1318 SNO-proteins were quantified. Notably, 352 SNO-peptides of 262 SNO-proteins were significantly regulated after excluding S-nitrosylation changes caused by protein expression alterations. Many of them belonged to mRNA splicing, ribosomal structure and translational regulatory proteins, covering the entire translation process. The results indicated that S-nitrosylation of the splicing and translational machinery in vascular endothelial cells was susceptible to ox-LDL. Abnormal protein S-nitrosylation may be one pivotal mechanism underlying endothelial dysfunction induced by ox-LDL. This study potentially enriches the present understanding of pro-atherogenic effect of ox-LDL from the perspective of S-nitrosylation. SIGNIFICANCE: The role of ox-LDL in endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis development has been recognized from the aspect of impaired NO production. However, its effect on S-nitrosylation, which is directly related to NO signaling pathway, still remains largely unexplored. Our work initially provided a systematic characterization of S-nitrosoproteome in ox-LDL-treated endothelial cells after ruling out the changes of S-nitrosylation modification caused by protein expression alone. MS-based approach coupled with iTRAQ technique indicated 262 SNO-proteins were significantly regulated. Functional enrichment and interaction network analysis revealed that proteins involved in mRNA splicing and translational machinery were susceptible to abnormal S-nitrosylation under ox-LDL treatment. This achievement suggested one potential mechanism underlying endothelial dysfunction induced by ox-LDL from the perspective of S-nitrosoproteome.

Distinct transcriptomic profiles of early-onset atopic dermatitis in blood and skin of pediatric patients. Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol 2018; 122:318-330.e3. [PMID: 30508584 DOI: 10.1016/j.anai.2018.11.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2018] [Revised: 11/17/2018] [Accepted: 11/26/2018] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) predominantly affects young children, but our understanding of AD pathogenesis is based on skin and blood samples from long-standing adult AD. Genomic biopsy profiling from early pediatric AD showed significant Th2 and Th17/Th22-skewing, without the characteristic adult Th1 up-regulation. Because obtaining pediatric biopsies is difficult, blood gene expression profiling may provide a surrogate for the pediatric skin signature. OBJECTIVE To define the blood profile and associated biomarkers of early moderate-to-severe pediatric AD. METHODS We compared microarrays and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of blood cells from 28 AD children (<5 years and within 6 months of disease onset) to healthy control blood cells. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in blood (fold change [FCH] > 1.2 and false discovery rate [FDR] < 0.05) were then compared with skin DEGs. RESULTS Eosinophil and Th2 markers (IL5RA, IL1RL1/ST2, HRH4, CCR3, SIGLEC8, PRSS33, CLC from gene arrays; IL13/IL4/CCL22 from RT-PCR) were up-regulated in early pediatric AD blood, whereas IFNG/Th1 was decreased. Th1 markers were negatively correlated with clinical severity (EASI, pruritus, transepidermal water loss [TEWL]), whereas Th2/Th17-induced interleukin (IL)-19 was positively correlated with SCORAD. Although a few RT-PCR-defined immune markers (IL-13/CCL22) were increased in blood, as previously also reported for skin, minimal overlap based on gene array DEGs was seen. CONCLUSION The whole blood signature of early moderate-to-severe pediatric AD blood cells show predominantly a Th2/eosinophil profile; however, markers largely differ from the skin profile. Given their complementarity, pooling of biomarkers from blood and skin may improve profiling and predictions, providing insight regarding disease course, allergic comorbidity development, and response to systemic medications.

Abstract
Background The extensive biological applications of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) in stomatology have created serious concerns about their biotoxicity. In our previous study, ZnO NPs were confirmed to transfer to the central nervous system (CNS) via the taste nerve pathway and cause neurodegeneration after 30 days of tongue instillation. However, the potential adverse effects on the brain caused by tongue-instilled ZnO NPs are not fully known. Methods In this study, the biodistribution of Zn, cerebral histopathology and inflammatory responses were analysed after 30 days of ZnO NPs tongue instillation. Moreover, the molecular mechanisms underlying neuroinflammation in vivo were further elucidated by treating BV2 and PC12 cells with ZnO NPs in vitro. Results This analysis indicated that ZnO NPs can transfer into the CNS, activate glial cells and cause neuroinflammation after tongue instillation. Furthermore, exposure to ZnO NPs led to a reduction in cell viability and induction of inflammatory response and calcium influx in BV2 and PC12 cells. The mechanism underlying how ZnO NPs induce neuroinflammation via the Ca2+-dependent NF-κB, ERK and p38 activation pathways was verified at the cytological level. Conclusion This study provided a new way how NPs, such as ZnO NPs, induce neuroinflammation via the taste nerve translocation pathway, a new mechanism for ZnO NPs-induced neuroinflammation and a new direction for nanomaterial toxicity analysis.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles are known as atherogenic agents in coronary artery diseases. They modify to other electronegative forms and may be the subject for improvement of inflammatory events in vessel subendothelial spaces. The circulating LDL value is associated with the plasma PCSK-9 level. They internalize into macrophages using the lysosomal receptor-mediated pathways. LDL uptake is related to the membrane scavenger receptors, modifications of lipid and protein components of LDL particles, vesicular maturation and lipid stores of cells. Furthermore, LDL vesicular trafficking is involved with the function of some proteins such as Rab and Lamp families. These proteins also help in the transportation of free cholesterol from lysosome into the cytosol. The aggregation of lipids in the cytosol is a starting point for the formation of foam cells so that they may participate in the primary core of atherosclerosis plaques. The effects of macrophage subclasses are different in the formation and remodeling of plaques. This review is focused on the cellular and molecular events involved in cholesterol homeostasis.

Abstract
Background Coronary artery calcified atherosclerotic plaque (CAC) predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite exposure to more severe conventional CVD risk factors, African Americans (AAs) are less likely to develop CAC, and when they do, have markedly lower levels than European Americans. Genetic factors likely contribute to the observed ethnic differences. To identify genes associated with CAC in AAs with type 2 diabetes (T2D), a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed using the Illumina 5 M chip in 691 African American-Diabetes Heart Study participants (AA-DHS), with replication in 205 Jackson Heart Study (JHS) participants with T2D. Genetic association tests were performed on the genotyped and 1000 Genomes-imputed markers separately for each study, and combined in a meta-analysis. Results Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs11353135 (2q22.1), rs16879003 (6p22.3), rs5014012, rs58071836 and rs10244825 (all on chromosome 7), rs10918777 (9q31.2), rs13331874 (16p13.3) and rs4459623 (18q12.1) were associated with presence and/or quantity of CAC in the AA-DHS and JHS, with meta-analysis p-values ≤8.0 × 10−7. The strongest result in AA-DHS alone was rs6491315 in the 13q32.1 region (parameter estimate (SE) = −1.14 (0.20); p-value = 9.1 × 10−9). This GWAS peak replicated a previously reported AA-DHS CAC admixture signal (rs7492028, LOD score 2.8). Conclusions Genetic association between SNPs on chromosomes 2, 6, 7, 9, 16 and 18 and CAC were detected in AAs with T2D from AA-DHS and replicated in the JHS. These data support a role for genetic variation on these chromosomes as contributors to CAC in AAs with T2D, as well as to variation in CAC between populations of African and European ancestry.

Abstract
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare heart disorder characterized by myocyte loss and fibro-fatty tissue replacement. With the progress of ARVC, patient can present serious ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure, and even sudden cardiac death. Previous studies have revealed that the generation and development of ARVC are related to structural changes of desmosomes. To date, at least 5 genes associated with desmosomes have been identified in patients with ARVC, including Desmoplakin, Plakophilin 2, Desmoglein 2, Desmocollin 2, and Junction plakoglobin. In this study, we applied whole-exome sequencing to explore the potential causative gene in a Chinese family with suspicious ARVC. A novel missense mutation (c.1090 G > A/p.V364 M) of DSC2 was identified and co-segregated with the affected family members. This mutation leads to a substitution of valine by methionine and is predicted to be damaging by bioinformatics tools. In conclusion, our study not only expands the spectrum of DSC2 mutations and contributes to genetic counseling of families with ARVC but also improves the awareness of pathogenesis in Chinese patients with ARVC.
