    Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with altered plasma and erythrocyte lipid profiles. In a previous study, SCD mice with deficiency of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) were observed to have more severe anemia and increased sickling compared to control SCD mice. Although PCSK9 affects circulating low density lipoprotein (LDL) by regulation of the LDL receptor, the effect of PCSK9 on anemia was independent of LDL receptor expression. In the current study, erythrocyte metabolomics were performed and revealed altered erythrocyte lipid species between SCD mice with and without PCSK9. Of particular interest, the late endosome-specific lipid bis(mono)acylglycerol phosphate (BMP) 44:12 was markedly decreased in erythrocytes from SCD mice deficient in PCSK9 mice relative to control SCD mice. Incubation of sickle erythrocytes with a neutralizing antibody to BMP increased erythrocyte sickling in vitro. In vitro treatment of SCD erythrocytes with amiodarone (1.5 μM) or medroxyprogesterone (6.75 μM), two pharmacologic compounds known to increase BMP, resulted in reduced erythrocyte sickling. Treatment of SCD mice with amiodarone (10 mg/kg) for 2 weeks resulted in increased BMP, improvement in anemia with reduced reticulocytosis, and decreased ex vivo sickling. In conclusion, severity of anemia in SCD is improved with amiodarone treatment, an effect which may be mediated through increased erythrocyte BMP.

    Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with chronic hemolytic anemia and a heightened inflammatory state. The causal role of inflammatory pathways in stroke associated with SCD is unclear. Therefore, the hypothesis that deletion of the non-hematopoietic interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) pool may be beneficial in SCD was pursued. Since potential deleterious effects of IL-1R signaling in SCD could be mediated via downstream production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), the role of the non-hematopoietic IL-6 pool was also addressed. Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from SCD to wild-type (WT) recipient mice was used to generate SCD mice (Wt,SCDbmt). To generate mice with non-hematopoietic deficiency of IL-1R or IL-6, SCD marrow was transplanted into IL-1R deficient (IL1R-/-,SCDbmt) or IL-6 deficient recipients (IL6-/-,SCDbmt). Blood counts, reticulocytes, soluble E-selectin (Esel), and IL-6 levels were analyzed 14-15 weeks post-BMT. Ischemic stroke was induced by middle cerebral artery (MCA) photothrombosis at 16 weeks post-BMT. A separate group of Wt,SCDbmt mice was given the IL-1R inhibitor, anakinra, following stroke induction. Seventy-two hours after MCA occlusion, stroke volume was assessed by staining brain sections with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride. Formalin-fixed brain sections were also stained for macrophages with MAC3, for endothelial activation with ICAM-1, and for loss of blood brain barrier (BBB) integrity with fibrin(ogen) staining. All SCD mice generated by BMT were anemic and the severity of anemia was not different between Wt,SCDbmt, IL1R-/-,SCDbmt, and IL6-/-,SCDbmt mice. Three days following MCA occlusion, stroke volume was significantly reduced in IL1R-/-,SCDbmt mice compared to Wt,SCDbmt mice and IL6-/-,SCDbmt mice. Plasma levels of sE-sel were lower in IL1R-/-,SCDbmt compared to Wt,SCDbmt and IL-6-/-,SCDbmt mice. Post-stroke treatment of Wt,SCDbmt mice with anakinra decreased stroke size, leukocyte infiltration, ICAM-1 expression, and fibrin(ogen) accumulation compared to vehicle-treated mice. Deficiency of non-hematopoietic IL-1R or treatment with an IL-1R antagonist is sufficient to confer protection against the increased stroke size associated with SCD. These effects of IL1R deficiency are associated with reduced endothelial activation, leukocyte infiltration, and blood brain barrier disruption, and are independent of non-hematopoietic IL-6 signaling.

    Abstract Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with haemolytic anaemia and secondary activation of leucocytes and platelets, which in turn may further exacerbate haemolysis. As cytokine signalling pathways may participate in this cycle, the present study investigated whether pharmacological blockade of the interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) would mitigate anaemia in a murine model of SCD. Within 2 weeks of treatment, reduced markers of haemolysis were observed in anakinra-treated mice compared to vehicle-treated mice. After 4 weeks of anakinra treatment, mice showed increased numbers of erythrocytes, haemoglobin, and haematocrit, along with reduced reticulocytes. Blood from anakinra-treated mice was less susceptible to ex vivo erythrocyte sickling and was resistant to exogenous IL-1β-mediated sickling. Supernatant generated from IL-1β-treated platelets was sufficient to promote erythrocyte sickling, an effect not observed with platelet supernatant generated from IL-1R

    Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with cardiovascular mortality in humans. Enhanced sympathetic activity following TBI may contribute to accelerated atherosclerosis. The effect of beta1-adrenergic receptor blockade on atherosclerosis progression induced by TBI was studied in apolipoprotein E deficient mice. Mice were treated with metoprolol or vehicle following TBI or sham operation. Mice treated with metoprolol experienced a reduced heart rate with no difference in blood pressure. Six weeks following TBI, mice were sacrificed for analysis of atherosclerosis. Total surface area and lesion thickness, analyzed at the level of the aortic valve, was found to be increased in mice receiving TBI with vehicle treatment but this effect was ameliorated in TBI mice receiving metoprolol. No effect of metoprolol on atherosclerosis was observed in mice receiving only sham operation. In conclusion, accelerated atherosclerosis following TBI is reduced with beta-adrenergic receptor antagonism. Beta blockers may be useful to reduce vascular risk associated with TBI.

    Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular mortality in humans. However the causal relationship between TBI and vascular disease is unclear. This study investigated the direct role of TBI on vascular disease using a murine model of atherosclerosis. Apolipoprotein E deficient mice were placed on a western diet beginning at 10 weeks of age. Induction of TBI or a sham operation was performed at 14 weeks of age and mice were sacrificed 6 weeks later at 20 weeks of age. MRI revealed evidence of uniform brain injury in all mice subjected to TBI. There were no differences in total cholesterol levels or blood pressure between the groups. Complete blood counts and flow cytometry analysis performed on peripheral blood 6 weeks following TBI revealed a higher percentage of Ly6C-high monocytes in mice subjected to TBI compared to sham-treated mice. Mice with TBI also showed elevated levels of plasma soluble E-selectin and bone marrow tyrosine hydroxylase. Analysis of atherosclerosis at the time of sacrifice revealed increased atherosclerosis with increased Ly6C/G immunostaining in TBI mice compared to sham-treated mice. In conclusion, progression of atherosclerosis is accelerated following TBI. Targeting inflammatory pathways in patients with TBI may reduce subsequent vascular complications.

    Abstract Some studies have shown that levels of MicroRNA (miR)-223 derived from platelets in the plasma are reduced following inhibition of platelet function, while others have shown a correlation between low plasma miR-223 and high on-treatment platelet reactivity. The present study seeks to investigate the role of miR-223 in arterial thrombosis. A model of photochemical-induced carotid thrombosis was applied to miR-223 deficient mice and littermate (WT) controls. Mice deficient in miR-223 exhibited significantly prolonged times to occlusive thrombosis compared to WT mice indicating a protective effect of miR-223 deficiency. Bone marrow transplantation experiments confirmed that the hematopoietic pool of miR-223 was responsible for differences in thrombosis times. Transfusion of either WT platelets or extracellular vesicles derived from WT platelets were both sufficient to shorten thrombosis times in miR-223 deficient recipients. The effect of platelet transfusions on IGF-1R was explored. These experiments revealed that vascular IGF-1R was down-regulated by platelet miR-223. Furthermore, inhibition of IGF-1R abolished the protection conferred by miR-223 deficiency on thrombosis. In conclusion, platelet miR-223 is a regulator of arterial thrombosis following endothelial injury through effects on vascular wall IGF-1R. This study indicates that platelet miR-223 is a potential therapeutic target for prevention of arterial thrombosis.

    Abstract Endothelial dysfunction precedes atherosclerosis and may constitute a critical link between obesity-related inflammation and cardiovascular disease. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been shown to promote vascular damage in murine models of autoimmune disease and atherosclerosis. The impact of NETs towards endothelial dysfunction associated with obesity is unknown. Using a diet-induced obesity (DIO) mouse model, this study investigated whether the inhibition or degradation of NETs could reduce the endothelial dysfunction observed in DIO mice. Following induction of DIO, there were elevated plasma concentrations of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and impairment of mesenteric arteriolar vasorelaxation in response to acetylcholine as measured by pressure myography. A marker of NET formation, cathelicidin-related antimicrobial peptide (CRAMP), was markedly increased in mesenteric arterial walls of DIO mice compared to mice on standard chow. Prevention of NET formation with Cl-amidine or dissolution of NETs with DNase restored endothelium-dependent vasodilation to the mesenteric arteries of DIO mice. These findings suggest an instrumental role for NETs in obesity-induced endothelial dysfunction.

    Abstract The renal autonomic nervous system may contribute to hypertension and vascular disease. Although the effects of renal artery denervation on blood pressure lowering are controversial, there may be other beneficial vascular effects independent of blood pressure lowering. Bilateral renal denervation (RDN) or sham operation (SO) was performed in 14-week-old male apolipoprotein E-deficient mice on a Western diet starting at 10 weeks of age. Efficacy of RDN was confirmed by reduction of renal norepinephrine levels (SO: 3.8±0.1 versus RDN: 1.7±0.3 ng/mL; P<0.01) at 6 weeks after procedure. Compared with SO, RDN had no effect on blood pressure (SO: 101.0±2.4 versus RDN: 97.5±1.6 mm Hg; P=0.25), total cholesterol (SO: 536.7±28.5 versus RDN: 535.7±62.9 mg/dL; P=0.99), or triglycerides (SO: 83.7±3.5 versus RDN: 86.9±10.2 mg/dL; P=0.78). Quantification of atherosclerosis at 20 weeks of age demonstrated reduced atherosclerosis in mice receiving RDN compared with SO (arterial tree oil-red-O surface staining RDN: 4.2±0.5% versus SO: 6.3±0.7%; P<0.05). Reduced atherosclerosis was associated with increased smooth muscle cell content in atherosclerotic plaques (RDN: 13.3±2.1 versus SO: 8.1±0.6%; P<0.05). Serum levels of aldosterone, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and 8-isoprostane were lower in mice that received RDN compared with sham-operated mice (aldosterone; RDN: 206.8±33.2 versus SO: 405.5±59.4 pg/mL, P<0.05; monocyte chemoattractant protein-1; RDN: 51.7±7.9 versus SO: 91.71±4.6 pg/mL, P<0.05; 8-isoprostane; RDN: 331.9±38.2 versus SO: 468.5±42.0 pg/mL, P<0.05). RDN reduces progression of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice. These changes are associated with reduced aldosterone levels, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and markers of oxidative stress.
