Arterial injury-induced vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation in intima is the important etiologic factor in vascular proliferative disorders such as atherosclerosis, hypertension and restenosis after balloon angioplasty. Butyrate, a naturally occurring short chain fatty acid, is produced by bacterial fermentation of dietary fiber and by mammary glands of certain mammals. Studies have shown that butyrate at millimolar concentrations, which are physiological, induces growth arrest, differentiation and apoptosis. We examined the effect of physiological concentrations of butyrate on rat VSMC proliferation and proliferation-induced PCNA expression to determine anti-atherogenic potential of butyrate. Butyrate concentrations, closer to physiological range, exhibited antiproliferative effects on both serum-induced proliferation of serum-starved quiescent VSMCs and actively proliferating non-confluent VSMCs. Treatment of serum-starved quiescent VSMCs with 1-8 mmol/l concentration of butyrate caused a concentration-dependent decrease in serum-induced VSMC proliferation and cell proliferation-associated increase in total cellular proteins and RNA levels. Similarly, exposure of actively growing VSMCs to 5 mmol/l butyrate resulted in the inhibition of cell proliferation and proliferation-induced increase in cellular proteins and RNA levels. Furthermore, cellular morphology was significantly altered. Analysis of cell cycle regulatory proteins indicated that levels of PCNA, an excellent marker for cell proliferation, was significantly altered by butyrate both in actively proliferating and serum-induced quiescent VSMCs. These observations suggest that butyrate exhibits potential antiatherogenic capability by inhibiting VSMC proliferation and proliferation-associated increase in PCNA expression and thus merits further investigations regarding therapeutic significance of butyrate in vascular proliferative disorders.  相似文献

The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling pathway is essential for inducing a dedifferentiated state of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Activation of PDGF inhibits smooth muscle cell (SMC)-specific gene expression and increases the rate of proliferation and migration, leading to dedifferentiation of VSMCs. Recently, microRNAs have been shown to play a critical role in the modulation of the VSMC phenotype in response to extracellular signals. However, little is known about microRNAs regulated by PDGF in VSMCs. Herein, we identify microRNA-15b (miR-15b) as a mediator of VSMC phenotype regulation upon PDGF signaling. We demonstrate that miR-15b is induced by PDGF in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells and is critical for PDGF-mediated repression of SMC-specific genes. In addition, we show that miR-15b promotes cell proliferation. These results indicate that PDGF signaling regulates SMC-specific gene expression and cell proliferation by modulating the expression of miR-15b to induce a dedifferentiated state in the VSMCs.

The migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are essential elements during the development of atherosclerosis and restenosis. An increasing number of studies have reported that extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, including the CCN protein family, play a significant role in VSMC migration and proliferation. CCN4 is a member of the CCN protein family, which controls cell development and survival in multiple systems of the body. Here, we sought to determine whether CCN4 is involved in VSMC migration and proliferation. We examined the effect of CCN4 using rat cultured VSMCs. In cultured VSMCs, CCN4 stimulated the adhesion and migration of VSMCs in a dose-dependent manner, and this effect was blocked by an antibody for integrin α5β1. CCN4 expression was enhanced by the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). Furthermore, knockdown of CCN4 by siRNA significantly inhibited the VSMC proliferation. CCN4 also could up-regulate the expression level of marker proteins of the VSMCs phenotype. Taken together, these results suggest that CCN4 is involved in the migration and proliferation of VSMCs. Inhibition of CCN4 may provide a promising strategy for the prevention of restenosis after vascular interventions.  相似文献

The proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are one of the key regulatory links of atherosclerosis (AS). Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key regulators in AS development. In this study, we first assessed the expression level of smooth muscle and endothelial cell-enriched migration/differentiation-associated lncRNA (SENCR) in the plasma of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and its predictive and diagnostic value. Second, we investigated the role of SENCR in the regulation network of human aortic-VSMCs (HA-VSMCs) proliferation and migration and determined its downstream regulatory mechanism. The results showed that SENCR was downregulated in the peripheral blood of CHD, and negatively related to the Gensini score. SENCR was enriched in HA-VSMCs and mainly distributed in cytoplasm. Overexpression of SENCR significantly inhibited HA-VSMCs proliferation, migration, and block cell cycle, while the knockdown of SENCR had the opposite effects. Moreover, bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-4731-5p could directly bind to SENCR. Besides, we proved that FOXO3a inhibited HA-VSMCs proliferation and migration by binding to the 3′-untranslated region of miR-4731-5p. In summary, our research suggested that SENCR affects HA-VSMCs proliferation and migration via regulating the miR-4731-5p/FOXO3a pathway.  相似文献

本文旨在探讨细胞外信号调节激酶(extracellular signal-regulated kinase,ERK)在慢性支气管哮喘大鼠气道平滑肌细胞(airway smooth muscle cells,ASMCs)增殖中的作用。建立慢性哮喘大鼠模型,用ERK激动剂表皮生长因子(epidermal growth factor,EGF)和抑制剂PD98059干预慢性哮喘大鼠ASMCs的培养。采用流式细胞仪、四甲基偶氮唑盐(MTT)法、^3H-thymidine(TdR)掺入法和增殖细胞核抗原(proliferating cell nuclear antigen,PCNA)免疫组织化学法检测ASMCs增殖情况,观察ERK信号通路对ASMCs增殖的影响。RT-PCR和Western blot检测ERK mRNA和ERK1/2、磷酸化ERK1/2(p-ERK1/2)蛋白的表达。与正常对照组ASMCs比较,慢性哮喘组ASMCs的G0/G1期细胞所占比例明显减少,S+G2/M期细胞所占比例增高;吸光度(A490)值、细胞DNA合成量和PCNA阳性表达量均明显增加,ERK mRNA、ERK1/2蛋白、P-ERK1/2蛋白的表达量以及ERK活化率显著增高。经PD98059干预之后,慢性哮喘组ASMCs的S+G2/M期细胞所占比例、A490值、细胞DNA合成量和PCNA阳性表达量明显降低,ERK mRNA、ERK1/2蛋白、p-ERK1/2蛋白的表达量以及ERK活化率显著降低。经EGF干预后,慢性哮喘组ASMCs的S+G2/M期细胞所占比例、A490值、细胞DNA合成量和PCNA阳性表达量进一步增高,而这一作用可以被PD98059抑制。以上结果提示,慢性哮喘大鼠ASMCs内源性增殖活性增加,ERK1/2参与其增殖活性的调控,ERK信号通路在哮喘气道重建的ASMCs增殖调控中具有重要作用。  相似文献

VSMC (vascular smooth muscle cell) proliferation contributes significantly to intimal thickening in atherosclerosis, restenosis and venous bypass graft diseases. Ang II (angiotensin II) has been implicated in VSMC proliferation though the activation of multiple growth-promoting signals. Although TZDs (thiazolidinediones) can inhibit VSMC proliferation and reduce Ang II-induced fibrosis, the mechanism underlying the inhibition of VSMC proliferation and fibrosis needs elucidation. We have used primary cultured rat aortic VSMCs and specific antibodies to investigate the inhibitory mechanism of rosiglitazone on Ang II-induced VSMC proliferation. Rosiglitazone treatment significantly inhibited Ang II-induced rat aortic VSMC proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Western blot analysis showed that rosiglitazone significantly lowered phosphorylated ERK1/2 (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2), Akt (also known as protein kinase B), mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), p70S6K (70 kDa S6 kinase) and 4EBP1 (eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein) levels in Ang II-treated VSMCs. In addition, PPAR-γ (peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor γ) mRNA increased significantly and CTGF (connective tissue growth factor), Fn (fibronectin) and Col III (collagen III) levels decreased significantly. The results demonstrate that the rosiglitazone directly inhibits the pro-atherosclerotic effect of Ang II on rat aortic VSMCs. It also attenuates Ang II-induced ECM (extracellular matrix) molecules and CTGF production in rat aortic VSMCs, reducing fibrosis. Importantly, PPAR-γ activation mediates these effects, in part, through the mTOR-p70S6K and -4EBP1 system.  相似文献

CeReS-18, a cell regulatory sialoglycopeptide, has been shown to inhibit proliferation of a wide array of target cells. In the present study, the effect of CeReS-18 on vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation was characterized in cultured rat aorta SMCs (A7r5). More extensively, the effect of CeReS-18 on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced SMC migration was examined using a modified Boyden's chamber assay. CeReS-18 inhibits both SMC proliferation and migration in a concentration-dependent, calcium-sensitive, and reversible manner. Furthermore, cells preincubated with the inhibitor had an increased sensitivity to CeReS-18-mediated inhibition of SMC migration. Immunoprecipitation and in vitro phosphorylation assays demonstrated that MAP kinase activity was inhibited in the CeReS-18-treated cells and pretreatment with CeReS-18 suppressed the activation of MAP kinase stimulated by PDGF. However, it is not likely that the suppression of the MAP kinase pathway was directly responsible for the ability of CeReS-18 to inhibit migration of the rat aorta smooth muscle cells since a MEK-specific inhibitor, PD98059, did not influence A7r5 cell migration.  相似文献

The effects of oxidized human plasma low density lipoproteins (Ox-LDL) on the proliferation of cultured aortic smooth muscle cells was studied, employing viable cell counting, [3H] thymidine incorporation into DNA, and the release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) into the medium. Oxidized LDL (prepared by incubation of LDL with copper sulfate) exerted a concentration-dependent stimulation (2 fold, compared to control) of aortic smooth muscle cell proliferation at low concentrations (0.1 µg – 10 µg/ml medium). On the other hand, at high concentrations (25–200 µg/ml), Ox-LDL produced a pronounced decrease in viable cells, a decrease in the incorporation of [3H] thymidine into DNA, and an increase in the release of LDH in the medium. In this report, the previously postulated biological roles of oxidized-LDL in atherosclerosis are discussed in view of these findings.Abbreviations Ox-LDL Oxidized human plasma Low Density Lipoproteins - SMC Smooth Muscle Cells - LDH Lactate Dehydrogenase - LPC Lysophosphatidycholine - PC Phosphatidylcholine - TNF Tumor Necrosis Factor  相似文献

Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) proliferation is involved in vascular atherosclerosis and restenosis. Recent studies have demonstrated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) promotes VSMCs proliferation, but the signalling pathways which are involved are not completely understood. The purpose of this review was to summarize the existing knowledge of the role and molecular mechanisms involved in controlling VSMCs proliferation stimulated by LPS and mediated by toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4) signalling pathways. Moreover, the potential inhibitors of TLR4 signalling for VSMCs proliferation in proliferative vascular diseases are discussed.  相似文献

Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation is a hallmark of neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) in atherosclerosis and restenosis post-balloon angioplasty and stent insertion. Although numerous cytotoxic and cytostatic therapeutics have been developed to reduce NIH, it is improbable that a multifactorial disease can be successfully treated by focusing on a preconceived hypothesis. We, therefore, aimed to identify key molecules involved in NIH via a hypothesis-free approach. We analyzed four datasets (GSE28829, GSE43292, GSE100927, and GSE120521), evaluated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in wire-injured femoral arteries of mice, and determined their association with VSMC proliferation in vitro. Moreover, we performed RNA sequencing on platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-stimulated human VSMCs (hVSMCs) post-phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 2 (PCK2) knockdown and investigated pathways associated with PCK2. Finally, we assessed NIH formation in Pck2 knockout (KO) mice by wire injury and identified PCK2 expression in human femoral artery atheroma. Among six DEGs, only PCK2 and RGS1 showed identical expression patterns between wire-injured femoral arteries of mice and gene expression datasets. PDGF-induced VSMC proliferation was attenuated when hVSMCs were transfected with PCK2 siRNA. RNA sequencing of PCK2 siRNA-treated hVSMCs revealed the involvement of the Akt-FoxO-PCK2 pathway in VSMC proliferation via Akt2, Akt3, FoxO1, and FoxO3. Additionally, NIH was attenuated in the wire-injured femoral artery of Pck2-KO mice and PCK2 was expressed in human femoral atheroma. PCK2 regulates VSMC proliferation in response to vascular injury via the Akt-FoxO-PCK2 pathway. Targeting PCK2, a downstream signaling mediator of VSMC proliferation, may be a novel therapeutic approach to modulate VSMC proliferation in atherosclerosis.  相似文献

In order to define the relative contribution of the proteolytic domain and the receptor-binding domain of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) toward its mitogenic properties we studied the effects of different uPA isoforms on migration and proliferation of human aortic smooth muscle cells (hSMC). The isoforms tested included native human glycosylated uPA, and two recombinant uPA forms, namely a recombinant uPA with wild type structure (r-uPA), and a uPA-mutant in which the first 24 N-terminal amino acid residues of the receptor binding domain were replaced by 13 foreign amino acid residues (r-uPAmut). Cell migration was evaluated using a micro-Boyden chamber assay, and cell proliferation assessed by measurement of [3H]-thymidine incorporation into DNA. Competition binding studies on hSMC using 125I-r-uPA as ligand demonstrated that r-uPA and r-uPAmut exhibited equivalent displacement profiles. However, migration of hSMC was promoted by r-uPA and not by r-uPAmut. r-uPA-induced migration occurred at concentrations (half-maximally effective concentration of 2 nM) approximating the Kd for uPA-uPAR binding (1 nM). r-uPA-induced migration was not affected by the plasmin inhibitor aprotinin. In contrast to their differential chemotactic properties, uPA, r-uPA and r-uPAmut, which possess similar proteolytic activities, all stimulated [3H]-thymidine incorporation in hSMC. Since the [3H]-thymidine incorporation response to each isoform occurred at concentrations (> 50 nM) much higher than necessary for uPAR saturation by ligand (1 nM), this mitogenic response may be independent of binding to uPAR. [3H]-thymidine incorporation responses to r-uPA and -uPAmut were sensitive to the plasmin inhibitor aprotinin, and uPA stimulated DNA synthesis was inhibited by plasminogen activator inhibitor. We conclude that hSMC migration in response to uPA depends upon on its binding to uPAR, whereas uPA-stimulated DNA synthesis in these cells requires proteolysis and plasmin generation.  相似文献
