Excessive proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a critical element in the development of several vascular pathologies, particularly in atherosclerosis and in restenosis due to angioplasty. We have shown that butyrate, a powerful antiproliferative agent, a strong promoter of cell differentiation and an inducer of apoptosis inhibits VSMC proliferation at physiological concentrations with no cytotoxicity. In the present study, we have used cDNA array technology to unravel the molecular basis of the antiproliferative effect of butyrate on VSMCs. To assess the involvement of gene expression in butyrate-inhibited VSMC proliferation, proliferating VSMCs were exposed to 5 mmol/1 butyrate 1 through 5 days after plating. Expression profiles of 1,176 genes representing different functional classes in untreated control and butyrate treated VSMCs were compared. A total of 111 genes exhibiting moderate (2.0–5.0 fold to strong (> 5.0 fold) differential expression were identified. Analysis of these genes indicates that butyrate treatment mainly alters the expression of four different functional classes of genes, which include: 43 genes implicated in cell growth and differentiation, 13 genes related to stress response, 11 genes associated with vascular function and 8 genes normally present in neuronal cells. Examination of differentially expressed cell growth and differentiation related genes indicate that butyrate-inhibited VSMC proliferation appears to involve down-regulation of genes that encode several positive regulators of cell growth and up-regulation of some negative regulators of growth or differentiation inducers. Some of the down-regulated genes include proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), retinoblastoma susceptibility related protein p130 (pRb), cell division control protein 2 homolog (cdc2), cyclin B1, cell division control protein 20 homolog (p55cdc), high mobility group (HMG) 1 and 2 and several others. Whereas the up-regulated genes include cyclin D1, p21WAF1, p14INK4B/p15INK5B, Clusterin, inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (ID1) and others. On the other hand, butyrate-responsive stress-related genes include some of the members of heat shock protein (HSP), glutathione-s-transferase (GST), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PXs) and cytochrome P450 (CYP) families. Additionally, several genes related to vascular and neuronal function are also responsive to butyrate treatment. Although involvement of genes that encode stress response, vascular and neuronal functional proteins in cell proliferation is not clear, cDNA expression array data appear to suggest that they may play a role in the regulation of cell proliferation. However, cDNA expression profiles indicate that butyrate-inhibited VSMC proliferation involves combined action of a proportionally large number of both positive and negative regulators of growth, which ultimately causes growth arrest of VSMCs. Furthermore, these butyrate-induced differential gene expression changes are not only consistent with the antiproliferative effect of butyrate but are also in agreement with the roles that these gene products play in cell proliferation. 相似文献

Butyrate inhibits proliferation-induced Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen expression (PCNA) in rat vascular smooth muscle cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

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

Abnormal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contributes to intima formation after stenting and balloon angioplasty. Pin1, a peptidyl prolyl isomerase recognizing phosphorylated Ser/Thr–Pro, isomerizes the peptide bond. Because Pin1 overexpression is associated with transformation and the uncontrolled cell growth of tumors, we hypothesized that Pin1 functions as a chronic stimulator of VSMC proliferation. Pin1-positive smooth muscle cells were seen in the neointimal region of the femoral artery after guidewire injury. Exposure of VSMCS to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) increased Pin1 expression in a concentration-dependent manner. Basal cell growth rate and cyclin D1 expression were enhanced in Pin1-overexpressing VSMCs (Pin1-VSMCs). Moreover, PDGF-induced production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Pin1-VSMCs was higher than in control VSMCs. In Pin1-VSMCs, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) induction in response to nitric oxide donor was suppressed compared to control VSMCs. Nuclear translocation of nuclear factor E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) was also diminished in Pin1-VSMCs. In contrast, the activity of the inducible minimal antioxidant response element (ARE) was potentiated in Pin1-null mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), compared to Pin1-wild-type MEFs. Moreover, Nrf2 ubiquitination was stimulated by Pin1 overexpression. Intraperitoneal injection of juglone (a Pin1 inhibitor) for 3 weeks (1 mg/kg, two times a week) significantly suppressed neointimal formation induced by wire injury. In conclusion, Pin1 induction during neointimal formation may be associated with ROS-mediated VSMC proliferation via down-regulation of Nrf2/ARE-dependent HO-1 expression. Pin1 may be a novel therapeutic target for several vascular diseases including atherosclerosis and stenosis. 相似文献

8-Hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a marker of oxidative stress, has been recently rediscovered to inhibit Rac1 in neutrophils and macrophages, thereby inhibiting Rac1-linked functions of these cells, including reactive oxygen species production through NADPH oxidase activation, phagocytosis, chemotaxis, and cytokine release. In vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), reactive oxygen species also induce abnormal proliferation and migration leading to progression of atherosclerosis. Based upon the involvement of reactive oxygen species in phagocytic cells and VSMCs during the atherosclerotic process, we hypothesized that 8-OHdG could have antiatherosclerotic action and tested this hypothesis in an experimentally induced atherosclerosis in mice. Partially ligated ApoE knockout mice, a more physiologically relevant model of low and oscillatory flow, developed an advanced lesion in 2 weeks, and orally administered 8-OHdG significantly reduced plaque formation along with reduced superoxide formation, monocyte/macrophage infiltration, and extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation. The effects of 8-OHdG observed in primary VSMCs were consistent with the in vivo effects of 8-OHdG and were inhibitory to angiotensin II or platelet-derived growth factor-induced production of reactive oxygen species, proliferation, migration, and ECM production. Also, angiotensin II-induced Rac1 activity in VSMCs was significantly inhibited by 8-OHdG, and transfection of constitutively active Rac1 reversed the inhibitory effect of 8-OHdG on VSMC activation. Molecular docking study showed that 8-OHdG stabilizes Rac1-GEF complex, indicating the physical contact of 8-OHdG with Rac1. These findings highly suggest that the antiatherosclerotic effect of 8-OHdG is mediated by inhibition of Rac1 activity. In conclusion, our results show a novel action of orally active 8-OHdG in suppressing atherosclerotic plaque formation in vivo and VSMC activation in vitro through inhibition of Rac1, which emphasizes a new therapeutic avenue to benefit atherosclerosis. 相似文献

胰岛素增强糖基化白蛋白对大鼠血管平滑肌细胞的促增殖作用 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
在糖尿病性大血管病变的发病过程中,高血糖以及晚期糖基化终末产物(advanced glycation end products,AGEs)、脂质异常和高胰岛素血症的相互作用较其单独作用可能更重要。本研究采用糖基化白蛋白(glycated serum albumin,GSA)模拟AGEs,观察胰岛素和GSA对大鼠血管平滑肌细胞(vascular smooth muscle cells,VSMCs)的增殖是否存在协同作用,并初步探讨其作用机制。采用组织贴块法分离培养大鼠VSMCs。经过或不经过各种丝裂原激活蛋白激酶(mitogen-activated protein kinases.MAPKs)抑制剂和氧自由基清除剂N-acetylcysteine(NAC)处理后,加入不同浓度的胰岛素、GSA或GSA+胰岛素,用MTT法和细胞计数法检测VSMCs的增殖。采用Western blot检测p38MAPK和C-Jun N-terminal kinase1/2(JNK1/2)的磷酸化。结果显示,GSA和胰岛素联合作用促进p38MAPK的磷酸化,而对JNK1/2的磷酸化无明显影响。GSA和胰岛素均可促进VSMCs增殖,而且两者具有协同作用。p38MAPK抑制剂SB203580和NAC可以抑制GSA和胰岛素联合作用引起的VSMCs增殖。以上结果提示,胰岛素和GSA对促进VSMCs增殖有协同作用,这可能是通过氧化应激敏感的p38MAPK通路实现的。胰岛素和AGEs的协同作用在糖尿病性动脉粥样硬化和再狭窄的发病过程中可能起重要作用。 相似文献

AimHeat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) is a mediator of stress-induced vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. This study will determine, first, if the mitochondrial or cytoplasmic localization of Hsp60 is critical to VSMC proliferation and, second, the mechanism of Hsp60 induction of VSMC proliferation with a focus on modification of nucleocytoplasmic trafficking.Methods and resultsHsp60 was overexpressed in primary rabbit VSMCs with or without a mitochondrial targeting sequence (AdHsp60mito-). Both interventions induced an increase in VSMC PCNA expression and proliferation. The increase in VSMC PCNA expression and growth was not observed after siRNA-mediated knockdown of Hsp60 expression. Nuclear protein import in VSMC was measured by fluorescent microscopy using a microinjected fluorescent import substrate. Nuclear protein import was stimulated by both AdHsp60 and AdHsp60mito- treatments. AdHsp60 treatment also induced increases in nucleoporin (Nup) 62, Nup153, importin-α, importin-β and Ran expression as well as cellular ATP levels compared to control. AdHsp60mito- treatment induced an up-regulation in importin-α, importin-β and Ran expression compared to control. Hsp60 knockdown did not change nuclear protein import nor the expression of any nuclear transport receptors or nucleoporins. Both heat shock treatment and Hsp60 overexpression promoted the interaction of Ran with Hsp60.ConclusionsVSMC proliferation can be modulated via an Hsp60 dependent, cytosol localized mechanism that in part involves a stimulation of nuclear protein import through an interaction with Ran. This novel cellular signaling role for Hsp60 may be important in growth-based vascular pathologies like atherosclerosis and hypertension. 相似文献

Phospholipase D (PLD) generates the signaling lipid phosphatidic acid (PA) and has been known to mediate proliferation signal in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). However, it remains unclear how PLD contributes to vascular diseases. VSMC proliferation directly contributes to the development and progression of cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty. Using the mouse carotid artery ligation model, we find that deletion of Pld1 gene inhibits neointima formation of the injuried blood vessels. PLD1 deficiency reduces the proliferation of VSMCs in both injured artery and primary cultures through the inhibition of ERK1/2 and AKT signals. Immunohistochemical staining of injured artery and flow cytometry analysis of VSMCs shows a reduction of the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Pld1?/? VSMCs. An increase of intracellular ROS by hydrogen peroxide stimulation restored the reduced activities of ERK and AKT in Pld1?/? VSMCs, whereas a reduction of ROS by N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) scavenger lowered their activity in wild-type VSMCs. These results indicate that PLD1 plays a critical role in neointima, and that PLD1 mediates VSMC proliferation signal through promoting the production of ROS. Therefore, inhibition of PLD1 may be used as a therapeutic approach to suppress neointimal formation in atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty. 相似文献

Hypoxia stimulates excessive growth of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contributing to vascular remodelling. Recent studies have shown that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs) suppress VSMC proliferation and activate eNOS expression. However, the effects of HDI on hypoxia‐induced VSMC growth and the role of activated eNOS in VSMCs are unclear. Using an EdU incorporation assay and flow cytometry analysis, we found that the HDIs, butyrate (Bur) and suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) significantly suppressed the proliferation of hypoxic VSMC lines and induced apoptosis. Remarkable induction of cleaved caspase 3, p21 expression and reduction of PCNA expression were also observed. Increased eNOS expression and enhanced NO secretion by hypoxic VSMC lines were detected using Bur or SAHA treatment. Knockdown of eNOS by siRNA transfection or exposure of hypoxic VSMCs to NO scavengers weakened the effects of Bur and SAHA on the growth of hypoxic VSMCs. In animal experiments, administration of Bur to Wistar rats exposed to hypobaric hypoxia for 28 days ameliorated the thickness and collagen deposition in pulmonary artery walls. Although the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) was not obviously decreased with Bur in hypoxic rats, right ventricle hypertrophy index (RVHI) was decreased and the oxygen partial pressure of arterial blood was elevated. Furthermore, cell viability was decreased and eNOS and cleaved caspase 3 were induced in HDI‐treated rat pulmonary arterial SMCs. These findings imply that HDIs prevent hypoxia‐induced VSMC growth, in correlation with activated eNOS expression and activity in hypoxic VSMCs. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that an increased intake of dietary flavonoids is associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). PDGF is a major mitogen for vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) and participates in the pathogenesis of many CVDs. The study investigated whether the flavone chrysin affected PDGF functions in VSMCs and neointma formation in rat artery. We found that chrysin concentration-dependently inhibited PDGF-induced proliferation and chemotaxis and reduced PDGF signaling in VSMCs. Chrysin attenuated H(2)O(2) signaling and PDGF-induced reactive oxygen species production and NADPH oxidase activation but did not interfere with PDGF binding to VSMCs. The further analyses revealed that chrysin relieved PDGF-induced inhibition on activity of protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) and reduced PDGF-induced oxidation of PTP cysteinyl active site. Moreover, it inhibited PDGF receptor autophosphorylation induced by low-dose vanadate (an inhibitor for PTP). The effect of chrysin, but not of the flavonoid (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate and antioxidant N-acetylcysteine, on PDGF signaling and PTP activity was reversed by depletion of intracellular glutathione (GSH), suggesting an involvement of chrysin on GSH/glutaredoxin system for PTP reactivation. Finally, to demonstrate the effectiveness of chrysin in vivo, we showed that oral administration of chrysin before and after angioplasty could reduce neointima formation in balloon-injured carotid artery in rats. In conclusion, we provide here evidence that chrysin can regulate intracellular PTP activity during PDGF signaling, inhibits PDGF-induced VSMC proliferation and chemotaxis, and reduces arterial intima hyperplasia in vivo. 相似文献

Sulfhydryl groups, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) are important elements of the antioxidant defence in the organism. The efficacy of their antioxidant action is influenced by many factors. In this work, the effect of fasting on total, protein-bound and nonprotein sulfhydryl groups and on the activity of liver and serum GPx and GST in rats were determined. Male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: non-fasted and 18-hour fasted. In fasted animals liver content of nonprotein sulfhydryl groups (represented predominantly by reduced glutathione; GSH) was diminished by 22% in comparison to non-fasted group, whereas total and protein-bound -SH groups were unaffected. The activity of liver and serum GPx was unchanged in food deprived rats. In these animals the activity of GST in serum was reduced by 26%. Fasting had no significant effect on the activity of GST in the liver. Our results demonstrate that in rats deprived of food for 18 hours liver and serum GPx and GST are not involved in protection against action of reactive oxygen species formed during fasting. The observed drop in the content of liver nonprotein sulfhydryl groups without concomitant rise in the activity of GPx and GST indicates that this effect may be due to augmented degradation of GSH, its potentiated efflux from hepatocytes and formation of conjugates with intermediates arising as a result of reactive oxygen species action. 相似文献

AngII (angiotensin II)-induced excessive ROS (reactive oxygen species) generation and proliferation of VSMCs (vascular smooth muscle cells) is a critical contributor to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. PGC-1α [PPARγ (peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor γ) co-activator-1α] is involved in the regulation of ROS generation, VSMC proliferation and energy metabolism. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether PGC-1α mediates AngII-induced ROS generation and VSMC hyperplasia. Our results showed that the protein content of PGC-1α was negatively correlated with an increase in cell proliferation and migration induced by AngII. Overexpression of PGC-1α inhibited AngII-induced proliferation and migration, ROS generation and NADPH oxidase activity in VSMCs. Conversely, Ad-shPGC-1α (adenovirus-mediated PGC-1α-specific shRNA) led to the opposite effects. Furthermore, the stimulatory effect of Ad-shPGC-1α on VSMC proliferation was significantly attenuated by antioxidant and NADPH oxidase inhibitors. Analysis of several key subunits of NADPH oxidase (Rac1, p22phox, p40phox, p47phox and p67phox) and mitochondrial ROS revealed that these mechanisms were not responsible for the observed effects of PGC-1α. However, we found that overexpression of PGC-1α promoted NOX1 degradation through the proteasome degradation pathway under AngII stimulation and consequently attenuated NOX1 (NADPH oxidase 1) expression. These alterations underlie the inhibitory effect of PGC-1α on NADPH oxidase activity. Our data support a critical role for PGC-1α in the regulation of proliferation and migration of VSMCs, and provide a useful strategy to protect vessels against atherosclerosis. 相似文献

Overexpression of the gene for heme oxygenase (HO)-1 leads to a reduction in pressor responsiveness to angiotensin II (Ang II) in experimental animals. Using rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), we tested whether YS 49 [1-(alpha-naphtylmethyl)-6,7-dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline] inhibits Ang II-stimulated proliferation of VSMCs via induction of HO-1. YS 49 induced HO-1 protein production in a dose-and time-dependent manner in VSMCs. Treatment with YS 49 significantly and dose-dependently inhibited Ang II-induced VSMC proliferation, ROS production, and phosphorylation of JNK, but not P38 MAP kinase or ERK1/2. The antiproliferation effect of YS 49 was reversed by pretreatment with the HO-1 inhibitor zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPPIX), or with hemoglobin, a carbon monoxide (CO) scavenger. Similarly, VSMC proliferation, ROS production and phosphorylation of JNK by Ang II were significantly inhibited in VSMCs transfected with the HO-1 gene. Thus, HO-1 and the HO-1 product CO play, at least in part, a crucial role in Ang II-stimulated VSMC proliferation through the regulation of ROS production and JNK phosphorylation. Therefore, YS 49 has potential as a therapeutic strategy for the pathogenesis of Ang II-related vascular diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis, via the induction of HO-1 gene activity. 相似文献

Melatonin is an endogenous indolamine, classically known as a light/dark regulator. Besides classical functions, melatonin has also showed to have a wide range of antitumoral effects in numerous cancer experimental models. However, no definite mechanism has been described to explain the whole range of antineoplasic effects. Here we describe a dual effect of melatonin on intracellular redox state in relation to its antiproliferative vs cytotoxic actions in cancer cells. Thus, inhibition of proliferation correlates with a decrease on intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and increase of antioxidant defences (antioxidant enzymes and intracellular gluthation,GSH levels), while induction of cell death correlates with an increase on intracellular ROS and decrease of antioxidant defences. Moreover, cell death can be prevented by other well-known antioxidants or can be increased by hydrogen peroxide. Thus, tumour cell fate will depend on the ability of melatonin to induce either an antioxidant environment--related to the antiproliferative effect or a prooxidant environment related to the cytotoxic effect. 相似文献

The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is still a major threat to human health in the non-industrialised world mainly due to the increasing incidence of drug resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify and validate new potential drug targets in the parasite's metabolism that are suitable for the design of new anti-malarial drugs. It is known that infection with P. falciparum leads to increased oxidative stress in red blood cells, implying that the parasite requires efficient antioxidant and redox systems to prevent damage caused by reactive oxygen species. In recent years, it has been shown that P. falciparum possess functional thioredoxin and glutathione systems. Using genetic and chemical tools, it was demonstrated that thioredoxin reductase, the first step of the thioredoxin redox cycle, and gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma-GCS), the rate-limiting step of glutathione synthesis, are essential for parasite survival. Indeed, the mRNA levels of gamma-GCS are elevated in parasites that are oxidatively stressed, indicating that glutathione plays an important antioxidant role in P. falciparum. In addition to this antioxidant function, glutathione is important for detoxification processes and is possibly involved in the development of resistance against drugs such as chloroquine. 相似文献
