Abstract

Abstract Background The pathogenesis of preeclampsia superimposed on chronic hypertension (SI) is poorly understood relative to preeclampsia (PreE) occurring in pregnant people without chronic hypertension. Placental transcriptomes in pregnancies complicated by PreE and SI have not been previously compared. Methods We identified pregnant people in the University of Michigan Biorepository for Understanding Maternal and Pediatric Health with hypertensive disorders affecting singleton, euploid gestations (N = 36) along with non-hypertensive control subjects (N = 12). Subjects were grouped as: (1) normotensive (N = 12), (2) chronic hypertensive (N = 13), (3) preterm PreE with severe features (N = 5), (4) term PreE with severe features (N = 11), (5) preterm SI (N = 3), or (6) term SI (N = 4). Bulk RNA sequencing of paraffin-embedded placental tissue was performed. The primary analysis assessed differential gene expression relative to normotensive and chronic hypertensive placentas, where Wald adjusted P values

Abstract

Summary: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified numerous variants associated with polygenic traits and diseases. However, with few exceptions, a mechanistic understanding of which variants affect which genes in which tissues to modulate trait variation is lacking. Here, we present genomic analyses to explain trait heritability of blood pressure (BP) through the genetics of transcriptional regulation using GWASs, multiomics data from different tissues, and machine learning approaches. Approximately 500,000 predicted regulatory variants across four tissues explain 33.4% of variant heritability: 2.5%, 5.3%, 7.7%, and 11.8% for kidney-, adrenal-, heart-, and artery-specific variants, respectively. Variation in the enhancers involved shows greater tissue specificity than in the genes they regulate, suggesting that gene regulatory networks perturbed by enhancer variants in a tissue relevant to a phenotype are the major source of interindividual variation in BP. Thus, our study provides an approach to scan human tissue and cell types for their physiological contribution to any trait.

Abstract

Hypertension (HTN) is a major contributor to kidney damage, leading to conditions such as nephrosclerosis and hypertensive nephropathy, significant causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). HTN is also a risk factor for stroke and coronary heart disease. Oxidative stress, inflammation, and activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) play critical roles in causing kidney injury in HTN. Genetic and environmental factors influence the susceptibility to hypertensive renal damage, with African American populations having a higher tendency due to genetic variants. Managing blood pressure (BP) effectively with treatments targeting RAAS activation, oxidative stress, and inflammation is crucial in preventing renal damage and the progression of HTN-related CKD and ESRD. Interactions between genetic and environmental factors impacting kidney function abnormalities are central to HTN development. Animal studies indicate that genetic factors significantly influence BP regulation. Anti-natriuretic mechanisms can reset the pressure–natriuresis relationship, requiring a higher BP to excrete sodium matched to intake. Activation of intrarenal angiotensin II receptors contributes to sodium retention and high BP. In HTN, the gut microbiome can affect BP by influencing energy metabolism and inflammatory pathways. Animal models, such as the spontaneously hypertensive rat and the chronic angiotensin II infusion model, mirror human essential hypertension and highlight the significance of the kidney in HTN pathogenesis. Overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a crucial role in the development and progression of HTN, impacting renal function and BP regulation. Targeting specific NADPH oxidase (NOX) isoforms to inhibit ROS production and enhance antioxidant mechanisms may improve renal structure and function while lowering blood pressure. Therapies like SGLT2 inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists have shown promise in reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and RAAS activity, offering renal and antihypertensive protection in managing HTN and CKD. This review emphasizes the critical role of NOX in the development and progression of HTN, focusing on its impact on renal function and BP regulation. Effective BP management and targeting oxidative stress, inflammation, and RAAS activation, is crucial in preventing renal damage and the progression of HTN-related CKD and ESRD.

Abstract

Genetic studies of blood pressure (BP) traits to date have been performed on conventional measures by brachial cuff sphygmomanometer for systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP, integrating several physiologic occurrences. Genetic associations with central SBP (cSBP) have not been well-studied. Genetic discovery studies of BP have been most often performed in European-ancestry samples. Here, we investigated genetic associations with cSBP in a Chinese population and functionally validated the impact of a novel associated coiled-coil domain containing 93 (CCDC93) gene on BP regulation. An exome-wide association study (EWAS) was performed using a mixed linear model of non-invasive cSBP and peripheral BP traits in a Han Chinese population (N = 5,954) from Beijing, China genotyped with a customized Illumina ExomeChip array. We identified four SNP-trait associations with three SNPs, including two novel associations (rs2165468-SBP and rs33975708-cSBP). rs33975708 is a coding variant in the CCDC93 gene, c.535C>T, p.Arg179Cys (MAF = 0.15%), and was associated with increased cSBP (β = 29.3 mmHg, P = 1.23x10-7). CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing was used to model the effect of Ccdc93 loss in mice. Homozygous Ccdc93 deletion was lethal prior to day 10.5 of embryonic development. Ccdc93+/- heterozygous mice were viable and morphologically normal, with 1.3-fold lower aortic Ccdc93 protein expression (P = 0.0041) and elevated SBP as compared to littermate Ccdc93+/+ controls (110±8 mmHg vs 125±10 mmHg, P = 0.016). Wire myography of Ccdc93+/- aortae showed impaired acetylcholine-induced relaxation and enhanced phenylephrine-induced contraction. RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis of Ccdc93+/- mouse thoracic aortae identified significantly enriched pathways altered in fatty acid metabolism and mitochondrial metabolism. Plasma free fatty acid levels were elevated in Ccdc93+/- mice (96±7mM vs 124±13mM, P = 0.0031) and aortic mitochondrial dysfunction was observed through aberrant Parkin and Nix protein expression. Together, our genetic and functional studies support a novel role of CCDC93 in the regulation of BP through its effects on vascular mitochondrial function and endothelial function. Author summary: More than 1000 loci have been reported in previous gene discovery efforts for blood pressure and hypertension. cSBP is a unique blood pressure trait that has not been as extensively studied as peripheral BP, and correlates of cSBP may provide a better indication of future cardiovascular events. In this study we replicated several BP associations in a Han Chinese cohort and found a novel association with a coding variant in CCDC93 (rs33975708, c.535C>T, p.Arg179Cys, MAF 0.15%) which was strongly associated with higher cSBP. To model loss of Ccdc93 and functionally validate the human genetic association, a new transgenic mouse was created. Ccdc93 homozygous deletion was embryonic lethal, and mice with heterozygous loss of Ccdc93 exhibited impaired arterial relaxation and enhanced contractile responses. Aortic RNA-seq analysis of Ccdc93+/- heterozygous mice identified metabolic dysregulation and mitochondrial dysfunction, which was validated by features of elevated plasma free fatty acids and increased aortic Parkin and Nix protein expression. Improved knowledge of the genes involved in BP regulation is needed to develop effective therapies to manage elevated BP, and this study identified the gene CCDC93 as a novel regulator of blood pressure and vascular function.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Inter-individual variation in blood pressure (BP) arises in part from sequence variants within enhancers modulating the expression of causal genes. We propose that these genes, active in tissues relevant to BP physiology, can be identified from tissue-level epigenomic data and genotypes of BP-phenotyped individuals. METHODS: We used chromatin accessibility data from the heart, adrenal, kidney, and artery to identify cis-regulatory elements (CREs) in these tissues and estimate the impact of common human single-nucleotide variants within these CREs on gene expression, using machine learning methods. To identify causal genes, we performed a gene-wise association test. We conducted analyses in 2 separate large-scale cohorts: 77 822 individuals from the Genetic Epidemiology Research on Adult Health and Aging and 315 270 individuals from the UK Biobank. RESULTS: We identified 309, 259, 331, and 367 genes (false discovery rate <0.05) for diastolic BP and 191, 184, 204, and 204 genes for systolic BP in the artery, kidney, heart, and adrenal, respectively, in Genetic Epidemiology Research on Adult Health and Aging; 50% to 70% of these genes were replicated in the UK Biobank, significantly higher than the 12% to 15% expected by chance (P<0.0001). These results enabled tissue expression prediction of these 988 to 2875 putative BP genes in individuals of both cohorts to construct an expression polygenic score. This score explained ≈27% of the reported single-nucleotide variant heritability, substantially higher than expected from prior studies. CONCLUSIONS: Our work demonstrates the power of tissue-restricted comprehensive CRE analysis, followed by CRE-based expression prediction, for understanding BP regulation in relevant tissues and provides dual-modality supporting evidence, CRE and expression, for the causality genes.

Abstract

Background: Recently, common genetic risk factors for intracranial aneurysm (IA) and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (ASAH) were found to explain a large amount of disease heritability and therefore have potential to be used for genetic risk prediction. We constructed a genetic risk score to (1) predict ASAH incidence and IA presence (combined set of unruptured IA and ASAH) and (2) assess its association with patient characteristics. Methods: A genetic risk score incorporating genetic association data for IA and 17 traits related to IA (so-called metaGRS) was created using 1161 IA cases and 407 392 controls from the UK Biobank population study. The metaGRS was validated in combination with risk factors blood pressure, sex, and smoking in 828 IA cases and 68 568 controls from the Nordic HUNT population study. Furthermore, we assessed association between the metaGRS and patient characteristics in a cohort of 5560 IA patients. Results: Per SD increase of metaGRS, the hazard ratio for ASAH incidence was 1.34 (95% CI, 1.20–1.51) and the odds ratio for IA presence 1.09 (95% CI, 1.01–1.18). Upon including the metaGRS on top of clinical risk factors, the concordance index to predict ASAH hazard increased from 0.63 (95% CI, 0.59–0.67) to 0.65 (95% CI, 0.62–0.69), while prediction of IA presence did not improve. The metaGRS was statistically significantly associated with age at ASAH (β=−4.82×10 −3 per year [95% CI, −6.49×10 −3 to −3.14×10 −3 ]; P =1.82×10 −8 ), and location of IA at the internal carotid artery (odds ratio=0.92 [95% CI, 0.86–0.98]; P =0.0041). Conclusions: The metaGRS was predictive of ASAH incidence, although with limited added value over clinical risk factors. The metaGRS was not predictive of IA presence. Therefore, we do not recommend using this metaGRS in daily clinical care. Genetic risk does partly explain the clinical heterogeneity of IA warranting prioritization of clinical heterogeneity in future genetic prediction studies of IA and ASAH.

Abstract

Fossil fuels have been an abundant source of energy and have been economically practical for a long time, but the environmental damage caused by this liquid has already seeped into our lives. Whilst there have been multiple innovations, and breakthroughs in the extraction, refining, and combustion of this liquid, its environmental impact has been reduced drastically, yet it exists. The newest contender in this race towards environmental stability, Electric Vehicles (EVs), which promises the use of clean and low-emission electric sources for transportation. Hence, our goal is to find which type of vehicle is economically and environmentally superior, focusing on the vehicles' extraction, production, and usage phases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Abstract Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the major cause of death in the United States. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) scores are independent predictors of CHD. African Americans (AA) have higher rates of CHD but are less well-studied in genomic studies. We assembled the largest AA data resource currently available with measured CAC to identify associated genetic variants. Methods We analyzed log transformed CAC quantity (ln(CAC + 1)), for association with ~2.5 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and performed an inverse-variance weighted meta-analysis on results for 5,823 AA from 8 studies. Heritability was calculated using family studies. The most significant SNPs among AAs were evaluated in European Ancestry (EA) CAC data; conversely, the significance of published SNPs for CAC/CHD in EA was queried within our AA meta-analysis. Results Heritability of CAC was lower in AA (~30%) than previously reported for EA (~50%). No SNP reached genome wide significance (p

Abstract

Men are disproportionately affected by the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), and face higher odds of severe illness and death compared to women. The vascular effects of androgen signaling and inflammatory cytokines in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-mediated endothelial injury are not defined. We determined the effects of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-mediated endothelial injury under conditions of exposure to androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α) and tested potentially therapeutic effects of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism by spironolactone. Circulating endothelial injury markers VCAM-1 and E-selectin were measured in men and women diagnosed with COVID-19. Exposure of endothelial cells (ECs) in vitro to DHT exacerbated spike protein S1-mediated endothelial injury transcripts for the cell adhesion molecules E-selectin, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 and anti-fibrinolytic PAI-1 (p < 0.05), and increased THP-1 monocyte adhesion to ECs (p = 0.032). Spironolactone dramatically reduced DHT+S1-induced endothelial activation. TNF-α exacerbated S1-induced EC activation, which was abrogated by pretreatment with spironolactone. Analysis from patients hospitalized with COVID-19 showed concordant higher circulating VCAM-1 and E-Selectin levels in men, compared to women. A beneficial effect of the FDA-approved drug spironolactone was observed on endothelial cells in vitro, supporting a rationale for further evaluation of mineralocorticoid antagonism as an adjunct treatment in COVID-19.

Abstract

Abstract Chronic inflammation is a critical component of atherogenesis, however, reliable human translational models aimed at characterizing these mechanisms are lacking. Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with increased susceptibility to atherosclerosis, provides a clinical human model that can be utilized to investigate the links between chronic inflammation and atherosclerosis development. We sought to investigate key biological processes in psoriasis skin and human vascular tissue to identify biological components that may promote atherosclerosis in chronic inflammatory conditions. Using a bioinformatics approach of human skin and vascular tissue, we determined IFN-γ and TNF-α are the dominant pro-inflammatory signals linking atherosclerosis and psoriasis. We then stimulated primary aortic endothelial cells and ex-vivo atherosclerotic tissue with IFN-γ and TNF-α and found they synergistically increased monocyte and T-cell chemoattractants, expression of adhesion molecules on the endothelial cell surface, and decreased endothelial barrier integrity in vitro, therefore increasing permeability. Our data provide strong evidence of synergism between IFN-γ and TNF- α in inflammatory atherogenesis and provide rationale for dual cytokine antagonism in future studies.

Abstract

Most genome-wide association and fine-mapping studies to date have been conducted in individuals of European descent, and genetic studies of populations of Hispanic/Latino and African ancestry are limited. In addition, these populations have more complex linkage disequilibrium structure. In order to better define the genetic architecture of these understudied populations, we leveraged >100,000 phased sequences available from deep-coverage whole genome sequencing through the multi-ethnic NHLBI Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program to impute genotypes into admixed African and Hispanic/Latino samples with genome-wide genotyping array data. We demonstrated that using TOPMed sequencing data as the imputation reference panel improves genotype imputation quality in these populations, which subsequently enhanced gene-mapping power for complex traits. For rare variants with minor allele frequency (MAF) < 0.5%, we observed a 2.3- to 6.1-fold increase in the number of well-imputed variants, with 11-34% improvement in average imputation quality, compared to the state-of-the-art 1000 Genomes Project Phase 3 and Haplotype Reference Consortium reference panels. Impressively, even for extremely rare variants with minor allele count 86%. Subsequent association analyses of TOPMed reference panel-imputed genotype data with hematological traits (hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), and white blood cell count (WBC)) in ~21,600 African-ancestry and ~21,700 Hispanic/Latino individuals identified associations with two rare variants in the HBB gene (rs33930165 with higher WBC [p = 8.8x10-15] in African populations, rs11549407 with lower HGB [p = 1.5x10-12] and HCT [p = 8.8x10-10] in Hispanics/Latinos). By comparison, neither variant would have been genome-wide significant if either 1000 Genomes Project Phase 3 or Haplotype Reference Consortium reference panels had been used for imputation. Our findings highlight the utility of the TOPMed imputation reference panel for identification of novel rare variant associations not previously detected in similarly sized genome-wide studies of under-represented African and Hispanic/Latino populations.

Abstract

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a potential precipitant of myocardial infarction and sudden death for which the etiology is poorly understood. Mendelian vascular and connective tissue disorders underlying thoracic aortic disease (TAD), have been reported in ~5% of individuals with SCAD. We therefore hypothesized that patients with TAD are at elevated risk for SCAD. We queried registries enrolling patients with TAD to define the incidence of SCAD. Of 7568 individuals enrolled, 11 (0.15%) were found to have SCAD. Of the sequenced cases (9/11), pathogenic variants were identified (N = 9), including COL3A1 (N = 3), FBN1 (N = 2), TGFBR2 (N = 2), TGFBR1 (N = 1), and PRKG1 (N = 1). Individuals with SCAD had an increased frequency of iliac artery dissection (25.0% vs. 5.1%, p = 0.047). The prevalence of SCAD among individuals with TAD is low. The identification of pathogenic variants in genes previously described in individuals with SCAD, particularly those underlying vascular Ehlers–Danlos, Marfan syndrome, and Loeys–Dietz syndrome, is consistent with prior reports from clinical SCAD series. Further research is needed to identify specific genetic influences on SCAD risk.
