Emodin induces growth arrest and death of human vascular smooth muscle cells through reactive oxygen species and p53

Percutaneous coronary intervention is the main therapy for revascularization of occluded coronary arteries. However, a progressive artery restenosis caused by abnormal proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) hinders the effective treatment. In this study, we examined the effect of emodin, a natural anthraquinoid compound, on cultured VSMC. Lower doses of emodin suppressed cell proliferation and induced unscheduled DNA synthesis. Higher doses of emodin increased lumpy chromatin condensation and lysosomes in VSMC, suggesting the occurrence of apoptosis and autophagy. Emodin increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which was abolished by an NADPH oxidase inhibitor diphenylene iodonium (DPI). DPI could also decrease the number of apoptosis induced by emodin, suggesting the involvement of ROS in emodin-induced apoptosis. Emodin upregulated the protein levels of p53 in a dose-dependent manner. Laser confocal microscope showed most of emodin scattering in the cytoplasms and a little within the nuclei. These findings collectively indicated that emodin induces both growth arrest and death of human VSMCs in 2 independent manners, implying it as a promising therapy for preventing restenosis.

卡托普利对缺氧诱导的肺动脉平滑肌细胞增殖和胶的合成的抑制作用

AIM: To study the effect of captopril (Cap) on hypoxia-induced proliferation and collagen synthesis in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). METHODS: VSMC were isolated from rabbit pulmonary artery. Cultured VSMC were evaluated by incorporation of [3H]thymidine and [3H]proline, cell number, and intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i). RESULTS: Pretreatment of pulmonary VSMC with Cap 1 mumol.L-1 blocked hypoxia-induced increase in cell number and incorporation of [3H]proline and [3H]thymidine, which were decreased 25%, 21%, and 36%, respectively, as compared with hypoxic control. It also inhibited the increase of intracellular Ca2+ concentration under hypoxic condition. Addition of nifedipine inhibited hypoxia-stimulated increase in the collagen, DNA synthesis, and [Ca2+]i. Bay-K-8644 increased cell number (35%), DNA (55%), collagen synthesis (36%), and [Ca2+]i (33%) in pulmonary VSMC, that was completely abolished by Cap 1 mumol.L-1. CONCLUSION: Cap inhibited hypoxia-induced proliferation and collagen synthesis in VSMC.     

4-Hydroxynonenal induces vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis through mitochondrial generation of reactive oxygen species

4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE), an end-product of membrane lipid peroxidation, has been suggested to mediate a number of oxidative stress-linked pathological events such as cellular apoptosis. However, little is known about the signals by which HNE induces vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) apoptosis. To elucidate the mechanism(s) involved in HNE-induced VSMC apoptosis, we investigated the importance of mitochondria as a potential source for reactive oxygen species (ROS). Exposure of VSMC to HNE (1-30 microM) showed an augmented apoptotic changes in a concentration-dependent manner in association with an increased production of ROS, both of which were significantly attenuated by mitochondrial inhibitors such as rotenone (0.1 microM) and stigmatellin (0.1 microM), but not affected by other oxidase inhibitors involving NADPH oxidase, xanthine oxidase and cyclooxygenase. In connection with these results, HNE-induced ROS generation was not observed in mitochondrial function-deficient (rho 0) VSMC. Taken together, these results suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a key role in mediating HNE-induced VSMC apoptosis through an increased mitochondrial production of ROS.     

Threshold of peroxynitrite cytotoxicity in bovine pulmonary artery endothelial and smooth muscle cells

Peroxynitrite is widely reported as highly cytotoxic; yet recent evidence indicates that at certain concentrations, it can induce pulmonary cell hyper-proliferation and tissue remodelling. This study aimed to establish the threshold concentration of peroxynitrite to induce functional impairment of bovine pulmonary artery endothelial (PAEC) and smooth muscle cells (PASMC). PAEC or PASMC were exposed to solution of peroxynitrite or 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1). Twenty-four hour cell viability, DNA synthesis, and protein biochemistry were assessed by trypan blue dye exclusion, [³H] thymidine incorporation and western blot analysis, respectively. Threshold concentration of peroxynitrite to significantly impair viability of PAEC and PASMC was 2 μM peroxynitrite. In PASMC and PAEC, low concentrations of peroxynitrite (2 nM–0.2 μM) increased cell proliferation and did not activate p38 MAP kinase. The decrease in DNA synthesis and cell viability caused by 2 μM peroxynitrite was associated with caspase-3 cleavage but not p38 activation. Also, 2–20 μM peroxynitrite significantly activated poly ADP ribose polymerase and stress activated kinase JNK in PAEC. However, the higher concentration of 20 μM peroxynitrite did cause a threefold increase in p38 activation. In conclusion, the threshold for the cytotoxic effects of peroxynitrite was 2 μM; which caused apoptotic cell death independent of p38 MAP kinase activation in pulmonary artery cells.     

Endothelin-1 activation of JAK2 in vascular smooth muscle cells involves NAD(P)H oxidase-derived reactive oxygen species

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) and JAK2 are both implicated in diabetic complications. Therefore, we investigated whether ET-1 differentially activates JAK2 under conditions of normal (5 mM) and high (25 mM) glucose. We tested the hypothesis that reactive oxygen species mediate the activation of JAK2 in response to ET-1. In rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), ET-1 (10 (- 7) M, 5 min) stimulated the activation of JAK2, which was further enhanced under high glucose conditions. Allopurinol (xanthine oxidase inhibitor, 1 microM) and l-NAME (nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, 1 mM) had no effect on ET-1-induced JAK2 activation, while apocynin (NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor 100 microM) resulted in a significant inhibition of ET-1-induced JAK2 and MAPK activation. Overexpression of SOD did not inhibit ET-1-induced activation of JAK2, but catalase (50 units/mL) treatment resulted in complete inhibition. In vivo administration of apocynin (1.5 mM) resulted in a significant decrease ( 50%), while the ETA receptor antagonist ABT-627 completely inhibited phosphorylation of JAK2 in aortae from STZ-induced diabetic rats. Additionally, DHE staining of aortic sections was significantly reduced in diabetic rats treated with ABT-627. These data suggest that in VSMC, ET-1 via the ETA receptor, utilizes NAD(P)H oxidase to activate JAK2.     

Potassium channels underlying the resting potential of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells

1. The molecular identity of the K channels giving rise to the negative membrane potential of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells has yet to be determined. 2. To date, most studies have focused on voltage-gated, delayed rectifier channels and their roles in mediating hypoxia-induced membrane depolarization. There is, however, strong evidence that an outwardly rectifying K+ conductance distinct from the classical delayed rectifier is involved. 3. Growing evidence that TASK-like channels can sense hypoxia and are present in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells suggests that they may be responsible for the resting K+ conductance and resting potential. 4. The present review considers the evidence that particular K channels maintain the resting membrane potential of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells and mediate the depolarizing response to hypoxia.

20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid inhibits the apoptotic responses in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells

20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), a omega-hydroxylation product of arachidonic acid catalyzed by cytochrome P450 4A (CYP4A), plays a role in vascular smooth muscle remodeling. Although its effects on angiogenic responses are known, it remains unclear whether 20-HETE acts on apoptosis of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMC), an important step in PASMC remodeling, and what pathways are involved in the process. Here we show evidence for the missing information. The effect of 20-HETE on PASMC apoptosis and the apoptosis-associated signaling pathways were determined with cell viability assay, Annexin V and propidium idodide binding, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL), mitochondrial potentials assay, caspase activity assay and Western blots. We found that exogenous 20-HETE suppressed the serum deprivation-induced loss of bovine PASMCs and prevented Annexin V binding, DNA nick end labeling and chromatin condensation. The effect was worsened by 17-octadecynoic acid (17-ODYA), which inhibited the production of endogenous 20-HETE. Furthermore, 20-HETE induced the expression of bcl-2, maintained the stability of mitochondria membrane, and relieved the activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3. Such effects were reversed in the presence of 17-ODYA. Thus, these findings indicate that 20-HETE protects PASMCs against apoptosis by acting on, at least in part, the intrinsic apoptotic pathway.     

Serotonin induces pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell migration

The chronic phase of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is associated with vascular remodeling, especially thickening of the smooth muscle layer of large pulmonary arteries and muscularization of small pulmonary vessels, which normally have no associated smooth muscle. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) has been shown to induce proliferation and hypertrophy of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC), and may be important for in vivo pulmonary vascular remodeling. Here, we show that 5-HT stimulates migration of pulmonary artery PASMC. Treatment with 5-HT for 16h increased migration of PASMC up to four-fold as monitored in a modified Boyden chamber assay. Increased migratory responses were associated with cellular morphological changes and reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. 5-HT-induced alterations in morphology were previously shown in our laboratory to require cAMP [Lee SL, Fanburg BL. Serotonin produces a configurational change of cultured smooth muscle cells that is associated with elevation of intracellular cAMP. J Cell Phys 1992;150(2):396-405], and the 5-HT4 receptor was pharmacologically determined to be the primary activator of cAMP in bovine PASMC [Becker BN, Gettys TW, Middleton JP, Olsen CL, Albers FJ, Lee SL, et al. 8-Hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin-responsive 5-hydroxytryptamine4-like receptor expressed in bovine pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. Mol Pharmacol 1992;42(5):817-25]. We examined the role of the 5-HT4 receptor and cAMP in 5-HT-induced bovine PASMC migration. PASMC express 5-HT4 receptor mRNA, and a 5-HT4 receptor antagonist and a cAMP antagonist completely blocked 5-HT-induced cellular migration. Consistent with our previous report that a cAMP-dependent Cl(-) channel is required for 5-HT-induced morphological changes in PASMC, phenylanthranilic acid, a Cl(-) channel blocker, inhibited actin cytoskeletal reorganization and migration produced by 5-HT. We conclude that 5-HT stimulates PASMC migration and associated cytoskeletal reorganization through the 5-HT4 receptor and cAMP activation of a chloride channel.

The calcium-sensing receptor mediates hypoxia-induced proliferation of rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells through MEK1/ERK1,2 and PI3K pathways

Activation of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) leads to an increase of intracellular calcium concentration and alteration of cellular activities. High level of intracellular calcium is involved in hypoxia-induced proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). However, whether the CaSR is expressed in PAMSCs and is related to the hypoxia-induced proliferation of PASMCs is unclear. In this study, the expression and distribution of CaSRs were detected by RT-PCR, western blotting and immunofluorescence; the intracellular concentration of free calcium ([Ca(2+) ](i) ) was determined by confocal laser scanning microscopy; cell proliferation was tested using an MTT and BrdU incorporation assay; cell cycle analysis was carried out using a flow cytometric assay; and the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1,2 (ERK1,2) and AKT were analysed by western blotting. We observed that both CaSR mRNA and protein were expressed in rat PASMCs. Lowering of oxygen from 21% to 2.5% led to increased [Ca(2+) ](i) and CaSR expression. This condition of hypoxia also stimulated PASMCs proliferation accompanying with increased phosphorylation of ERK1,2 and AKT. GdCl(3) (an agonist of CaSR) or NPS2390 (an antagonist of CaSR) amplified or weakened the effect of hypoxia, respectively. PD98059 (a MEK1 inhibitor) or LY294002 (a PI3K inhibitors) decreased the up-regulation of PCNA expression and the increase of the cell proliferation index induced by hypoxia and GdCl(3) in PASMCs. Our results suggest that CaSR is expressed in rat PASMCs, and that CaSR activation through MEK1/ERK1,2 and PI3 kinase pathways is involved in hypoxia-induced proliferation of PASMCs.     

Carbon monoxide inhibits endothelin-1 release by human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells

Endothelin-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor with mitogenic properties. This 21-amino-acid protein, released in the vasculature by endothelial and smooth muscle cells, has been implicated in pulmonary hypertension. More recently, evidence has accumulated for a role of the heme oxygenase system in pulmonary hypertension. Heme oxygenase catalyses the breakdown of heme to produce carbon monoxide, biliverdin and free iron. Here we show that a carbon monoxide-releasing molecule, but not biliverdin, inhibits endothelin-1 release from serum-stimulated human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. Under certain conditions, carbon monoxide appears to act as an endogenous break on endothelin-1 release.
