Vascular smooth muscle cells in atherosclerosis: time for a re-assessment

Mandy O. J. Grootaert, Martin R. Bennett

Summary: Vascular smooth muscle cells play a key role in atherosclerosis by forming a protective fibrous cap and exhibiting various phenotypes that can affect plaque formation and stability. They are a larger proportion of atherosclerotic plaques than previously thought and their plasticity is regulated by various mechanisms.

NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation Controls Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Phenotypic Switch in Atherosclerosis

Fabienne Burger, Daniela Baptista, Aline Roth, Rafaela Fernandes da Silva, Fabrizio Montecucco, Francois Mach, Karim J. Brandt, Kapka Miteva

Summary: The study demonstrated that oxLDL-activated monocytes can directly affect VSMCs in a co-culture system, leading to reduced expression of certain markers and upregulation of others, as well as activation of caspase 1, secretion of IL-1 beta, and pyroptosis in VSMCs. The activation of VSMC NLRP3 inflammasome by monocytes may play a detrimental role in atherosclerotic plaque stability in human atherosclerosis, as evidenced by findings in both mice and human atherosclerotic plaques.

BMP9 and BMP10 Act Directly on Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells for Generation and Maintenance of the Contractile State

Lei Wang, Megan Rice, Sandra Swist, Thomas Kubin, Fan Wu, Shengpeng Wang, Simone Kraut, Norbert Weissmann, Thomas Boettger, Matthew Wheeler, Andre Schneider, Thomas Braun

Summary: The study revealed that BMP9 and BMP10 act directly on VSMCs for induction and maintenance of their contractile state. The effects of BMP9/10 in VSMCs are mediated by different combinations of BMP type 1 receptors in a vessel bed-specific manner, offering new opportunities to manipulate blood pressure in the pulmonary circulation.

From Cultured Vascular Cells to Vessels: The Cellular and Molecular Basis of Vascular Dysfunction in Space

Laura Locatelli, Sara Castiglioni, Jeanette A. M. Maier

Summary: This review article discusses the effects of space environment on the human vasculature and the adaptive responses activated in such conditions. The study suggests that oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction might be mediators of vascular alterations in space. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in these adaptive processes could provide insights for designing proper countermeasures for space exploration.

Dynamic Crosstalk between Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and the Aged Extracellular Matrix

Joao Carlos Ribeiro-Silva, Patricia Nolasco, Jose Eduardo Krieger, Ayumi Aurea Miyakawa

Summary: Vascular aging is characterized by the fragmentation of elastic fibers and collagen deposition, leading to reduced distensibility and increased stiffness in the blood vessels. Research shows that aging promotes changes in smooth muscle cell phenotypes, ultimately resulting in mechanical impairment of aging arteries. Understanding the role of ECM changes during aging may help in developing new strategies to prevent or delay arterial aging and cardiovascular diseases.

TXNIP Suppresses the Osteochondrogenic Switch of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells in Atherosclerosis

Sang-Ho Woo, Dongsoo Kyung, Seung Hyun Lee, Kyu Seong Park, Minkyu Kim, Kibyeong Kim, Hyo-Jung Kwon, Young-Suk Won, Inpyo Choi, Young-Jun Park, Du-Min Go, Jeong-Seop Oh, Won Kee Yoon, Seung Sam Paik, Ji Hyeon Kim, Yong-Hwan Kim, Jae-Hoon Choi, Dae-Yong Kim

Summary: This study reveals that TXNIP plays a regulatory role in the osteochondrogenic transition of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and affects the occurrence of atherosclerotic calcification. The effects of TXNIP were analyzed through the phenotypes of Txnip(-/-) mice, Tagln-Cre; Txnip(flox/flox) mice, and mice transplanted with the bone marrow of Txnip(-/-) mice. The downregulation of TXNIP in human calcified atherosclerotic plaques was also confirmed through reanalysis of a public single-cell RNA-sequencing dataset. In vitro experiments showed that suppression of TXNIP promotes osteodifferentiation of VSMCs. These findings suggest that TXNIP regulates atherosclerotic calcification by suppressing bone morphogenetic protein signaling and inhibiting the transition of VSMCs toward an osteochondrogenic phenotype.

Loss of Nfat5 promotes lipid accumulation in vascular smooth muscle cells

Lena Kappert, Philipp Ruzicka, Anton Kutikhin, Carolina De la Torre, Andreas Fischer, Markus Hecker, Caroline Arnold, Thomas Korff

Summary: NFAT5 plays a crucial role in regulating cholesterol efflux in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) adjacent to arteriosclerotic plaques, and its loss may lead to cholesterol accumulation and inhibition of genes involved in lipid handling and oxidative stress management. The absence of Nfat5 in VSMCs contributes to the development of lipid-laden arterial lesions and promotes pro-atherogenic responses in the vasculature.

Summary: Graphene oxide (GO) was found to have no obvious toxicity to vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and retained the expression of smooth muscle cell-specific markers. Small-flaked GO favored the proliferation of VSMCs, suggesting a potential for influencing cell growth behavior. These results provide insights into the suitability of GO as a scaffold for vascular tissue engineering.

Summary: This study describes the natural history of aortic valve calcification (AVC) progression in the general population and identifies sex differences in factors associated with this progression rate. The magnitude of the AVC score was the most important marker of AVC progression, but dyslipidemia was associated with progression only among men and hypertension was associated with progression only among women.

Classification of Amyloidosis by Model-Assisted Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics

Nicolai Bjodstrup Palstrom, Aleksandra M. Rojek, Hanne E. H. Moller, Charlotte Toftmann Hansen, Rune Matthiesen, Lars Melholt Rasmussen, Niels Abildgaard, Hans Christian Beck

Summary: Amyloidosis is a rare disease caused by the misfolding and aggregation of proteins, and accurate identification of the specific proteins is crucial for treatment choice. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics has become the preferred method for identifying the amyloidogenic protein. However, manual interpretation of the data by an expert can introduce bias. To address this, a statistical model-assisted method was developed to identify amyloid-containing biopsies and classify amyloidosis subtypes. This method successfully identified novel amyloid-associated proteins and demonstrated the unbiased and reliable classification of amyloid deposits and subtype using mass spectrometry-based data.

Artificial intelligence assisted compositional analyses of human abdominal aortic aneurysms ex vivo

Summary: This study presents an analysis framework based on artificial intelligence for high throughput analysis of histological sections of excised human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The developed deep neural network (DNN) accurately segments the AAA sections and quantifies the content of different components. However, combining the analysis with immunostained serial sections requires landmark recognition. The combination of digital pathology, DNN, and landmark registration has the potential to provide mechanistic insights into AAA and support better treatment regimes.

Summary: A daily MK-7 supplement for 6 weeks significantly lowers dp-ucMGP and ucOC in patients on hemodialysis, while a vitamin K rich diet does not have a significant effect. Boiled broccoli is a reasonable source of phylloquinone for patients on hemodialysis, as it retains a reasonable content of phylloquinone while extracting potassium.

Nicotine Administration Augments Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Progression in Rats

Hana Hadzikadunic, Tea Bovling Sjaelland, Jes S. Lindholt, Lasse Bach Steffensen, Hans Christian Beck, Egle Kavaliunaite, Lars Melholt Rasmussen, Jane Stubbe

Summary: In this study, the researchers investigated the effect of low-dose nicotine on the progression of elastase-induced abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). They found that nicotine promotes AAA progression and reduces the activity of pro-matrix metalloproteinase 2 and MMP9 in aneurysmal tissue. However, nicotine has no effect on inflammatory response and oxidative stress. Therefore, these results do not support the use of low-dose nicotine for preventing AAA progression.
