Dataset Summary
| Title | Proteomics reveals spatial and molecular heterogeneities in advanced atherosclerotic carotid artery plaques |
| Description | Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is a major cause of cerebrovascular events, yet the molecular determinants underlying vulnerability-related plaque morphology, including fibrous cap thickness, remain incompletely defined. Using histomorphology-guided spatial proteomics, here we delineate molecular programmes associated with plaque cap phenotype across discrete plaque subregions. Across 112 carotid endarterectomy specimens, differences between thin-cap and thick-cap plaques were predominantly localised to the necrotic core and fibrous cap. These differences were enriched for processes related to inflammation, lipid handling, extracellular matrix remodelling, and ossification/calcification, and supported the presence of proteome-based plaque subtypes. PCSK9 was among the proteins most strongly associated with thin-cap plaques. Consistently, an in vitro model of necrotic core-like oxidative and inflammatory stress increased PCSK9 secretion in primary vascular smooth muscle cells. Together, these findings localise molecular programmes associated with cap phenotype to plaque compartments and provide a framework for spatially informed biomarker discovery in advanced carotid atherosclerosis. |
