    Abstract Transfection of murine primary macrophages to silence genes can be a challenging procedure because this cell type has developed mechanisms to evade cellular intrusion. The introduction of small interfering RNA (siRNA) encapsulated in liposomes to the cell to decrease gene expression is one of the methods that can be used to achieve gene silencing. There are different commercially available compounds to introduce siRNA into the cell, including Lipofectamine RNAiMAX and HiPerfect. The chapter will describe a method for gene silencing in mouse primary macrophages using liposome-based transfection of siRNA.

    Abstract In situ hybridization (ISH) is a technique for the detection of the location of RNA within a tissue of interest. This process uses oligonucleotides with complementary sequences to bind to the target RNA, and colorimetric detection to allow for the visualization of this binding. The process of ISH means that the specific location of the RNA in question can be detected, including in which cell types it is present, and the intracellular location. In the case of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), which do not lead to the production of proteins, ISH is essential for tissue localization. Moreover, RNA abundance is often lower than for protein-coding genes, thus necessitating enhanced detection through double-digoxigenin (DIG) labeling of the probes. Here, we describe the theory and practicalities of performing ISH for lncRNA, with particular reference to vascular tissues.

    Abstract Atherosclerosis, the leading cause of cardiovascular death, is driven by hyperlipidemia, inflammation and aggravated by aging. As chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a selective type of lysosomal degradation for intracellular proteins, diminishes with age and is inhibited by lipid excess, we studied if the decline in CMA could contribute to atherosclerosis pathogenesis. We found that CMA declines in human and murine vasculature with disease progression. Inhibition and reactivation of CMA using transgenic mouse models establishes a protective effect of CMA against atherogenesis. CMA upregulation ameliorates both systemic metabolic parameters, and vascular cell function. Our work suggests CMA reactivation could be a viable therapeutic strategy to prevent and reduce cardiovascular disease.

    Abstract Clonal expansion refers to the proliferation and selection of advantageous "clones" that are better suited for survival in a Darwinian manner. In recent years, we have greatly enhanced our understanding of cell clonality in the cardiovascular context. However, our knowledge of the underlying mechanisms behind this clonal selection is still severely limited. There is a transpiring pattern of clonal expansion of smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells-and, in some cases, macrophages-in numerous cardiovascular diseases irrespective of their differing microenvironments. These findings indirectly suggest the possible existence of stem-like vascular cells which are primed to respond during disease. Subsequent clones may undergo further phenotypic changes to adopt either protective or detrimental roles. By investigating these clone-forming vascular cells, we may be able to harness this inherent clonal nature for future therapeutic intervention. This review comprehensively discusses what is currently known about clonal expansion across the cardiovascular field. Comparisons of the clonal nature of vascular cells in atherosclerosis (including clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential), pulmonary hypertension, aneurysm, blood vessel injury, ischemia- and tumor-induced angiogenesis, and cerebral cavernous malformations are evaluated. Finally, we discuss the potential clinical implications of these findings and propose that proper understanding and specific targeting of these clonal cells may provide unique therapeutic options for the treatment of these cardiovascular conditions.

    Abstract Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a transcriptional regulator of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory response in all cell types. It also activates the transcription of genes important for macrophage function. Nrf2 activity declines with age and has been closely linked to atherosclerosis, but its specific role in this vascular pathology is not clear. Atherosclerotic plaques contain several macrophage subsets with distinct, yet not completely understood, functions in the lesion development. The aim of this study was to analyze the transcriptome of diverse Nrf2-deficient macrophage subpopulations from murine atherosclerotic aortas. Mice with transcriptionally inactive Nrf2 in Cdh5-expressing cells (
