Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are an array of age-related disorders, and accumulating evidence suggests a link between cardiac resident macrophages (CRMs) and the age-related disorders. However, how does CRMs alter with aging remains elusive. In the present study, aged mice (20 months old) have been employed to check for their cardiac structural and functional alterations, and the changes in the proportion of CRM subsets as well, followed by sorting of CRMs, including C-C Motif Chemokine Receptor 2 (CCR2) and CCR2 CRMs, which were subjected to Smart-Seq. Integrated analysis of the Smart-Seq data with three publicly available single-cell RNA-seq datasets revealed that inflammatory genes were drastic upregulated for both CCR2 and CCR2 CRMs with aging, but genes germane to wound healing were downregulated for CCR2 CRMs, suggesting the differential functions of these two subsets. More importantly, inflammatory genes involved in damage sensing, complement cascades, and phagocytosis were largely upregulated in CCR2 CRMs, implying the imbalance of inflammatory response upon aging. Our work provides a comprehensive framework and transcriptional resource for assessing the impact of aging on CRMs with a potential for further understanding cardiac aging.

摘要

心血管疾病是一系列与年龄相关的疾病,越来越多的证据表明心脏驻留巨噬细胞(CRMs)与年龄相关疾病之间存在联系。然而,CRMs 如何随着年龄的增长而变化仍然难以捉摸。在本研究中,使用老年小鼠(20 个月大)检查其心脏结构和功能的改变,以及 CRM 亚群比例的变化,然后对包括 C-C 基序趋化因子受体 2(CCR2)和 CCR2 CRMs 在内的 CRMs 进行分选,这些细胞被用于 Smart-Seq。将 Smart-Seq 数据与三个公开的单细胞 RNA-seq 数据集进行综合分析表明,随着年龄的增长,CCR2 和 CCR2 CRMs 的炎症基因显著上调,但 CCR2 CRMs 的与伤口愈合相关的基因下调,这表明这两个亚群具有不同的功能。更重要的是,参与损伤感应、补体级联和吞噬作用的炎症基因在 CCR2 CRMs 中大量上调,这意味着炎症反应在衰老过程中失衡。我们的工作为评估衰老对 CRMs 的影响提供了一个全面的框架和转录资源,并有潜力进一步了解心脏衰老。
