The prevalence of cardiovascular disease varies with sex, and the impact of intrinsic sex-based differences on vasculature is not well understood. Animal models can provide important insights into some aspects of human biology; however, not all discoveries in animal systems translate well to humans. To explore the impact of chromosomal sex on proteomic phenotypes, we used iPSC-derived vascular smooth muscle cells from healthy donors of both sexes to identify sex-based proteomic differences and their possible effects on cardiovascular pathophysiology. Our analysis confirmed that differentiated cells have a proteomic profile more similar to healthy primary aortic smooth muscle cells than iPSCs. We also identified sex-based differences in iPSC-derived vascular smooth muscle cells in pathways related to ATP binding, glycogen metabolic process, and cadherin binding as well as multiple proteins relevant to cardiovascular pathophysiology and disease. Additionally, we explored the role of autosomal and sex chromosomes in protein regulation, identifying that proteins on autosomal chromosomes also show sex-based regulation that may affect the protein expression of proteins from autosomal chromosomes. This work supports the biological relevance of iPSC-derived vascular smooth muscle cells as a model for disease, and further exploration of the pathways identified here can lead to the discovery of sex-specific pharmacological targets for cardiovascular disease.
心血管疾病的患病率因性别而异,基于性别的内在差异对血管系统的影响尚未得到充分理解。动物模型可以为人类生物学的某些方面提供重要见解;然而,并非动物系统中的所有发现都能很好地转化到人类身上。为了探究染色体性别对蛋白质组学表型的影响,我们使用了来自男女健康供体的诱导多能干细胞衍生的血管平滑肌细胞,以确定基于性别的蛋白质组学差异及其对心血管病理生理学的可能影响。我们的分析证实,分化细胞的蛋白质组学特征比诱导多能干细胞更类似于健康的原代主动脉平滑肌细胞。我们还在诱导多能干细胞衍生的血管平滑肌细胞中发现了与ATP结合、糖原代谢过程、钙黏蛋白结合相关的途径以及多种与心血管病理生理学和疾病相关的蛋白质存在基于性别的差异。此外,我们探讨了常染色体和性染色体在蛋白质调控中的作用,发现常染色体上的蛋白质也表现出基于性别的调控,这可能会影响常染色体上蛋白质的表达。这项工作支持了诱导多能干细胞衍生的血管平滑肌细胞作为疾病模型的生物学相关性,进一步探索此处确定的途径可能会发现心血管疾病的性别特异性药理靶点。
