Beneficial effect of the oligomerized polyphenol oligonol on high glucose-induced changes in eNOS phosphorylation and dephosphorylation in endothelial cells

Background and purpose:

Hyperglycaemia is known to reduce nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability by modulating endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) activity, and polyphenols are believed to have cardiovascular benefit. One possible mechanism could be through interaction with eNOS.

Experimental approach:

The effects of the oligomerized polyphenol oligonol on eNOS phosphorylation status and activity were examined in porcine aortic endothelial cells cultured in high glucose concentrations.

Key results:

Exposure to high glucose concentrations strongly inhibited eNOS phosphorylation at Ser-1177 and dephosphorylation at Thr-495 in bradykinin (BK)-stimulated cells. These inhibitory effects of high glucose were significantly prevented by treatment with oligonol. Akt and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) were activated in BK-stimulated cells. High glucose inhibited Akt activation but enhanced p38 MAPK activation, both of which were reversed by oligonol treatment. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin blocked the reversal by oligonol of phosphorylation at Ser-1177, but not dephosphorylation at Thr-495, in BK-stimulated cells exposed to high glucose. The effect of oligonol on BK dephosphorylation under high glucose was mimicked by protein kinase C (PKC) ε-neutralizing peptides. These data suggest that the effects of oligonol on high glucose-induced attenuation of eNOS Ser-1177 phosphorylation and Thr-495 dephosphorylation may be regulated by Akt activation and PKCε inhibition respectively. Oligonol also prevented high glucose-induced attenuation of BK-stimulated NO production.

Conclusions and implications:

Oligonol prevented the impairment of eNOS activity induced by high glucose through reversing altered eNOS phosphorylation status. This mechanism may underlie the beneficial cardiovascular health effects of this oligomerized polyphenol.

Leukotriene D4 Stimulates the Migration but Not Proliferation of Endothelial Cells Mediated by the Cysteinyl Leukotriene CysLT1 Receptor via the Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Pathway

The actions of cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) are mediated by activating CysLT receptors, CysLT₁, and CysLT₂. The CysLT₁ receptor mediates vascular responses to CysLTs; however, its effect on the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells is not clarified. To determine this effect, we observed proliferation and migration in EA.hy926 cells, a human endothelial cell line, and the involvement of activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). We found that LTD₄ did not affect the proliferation, but significantly stimulated the migration of endothelial cells. LTD₄ also induced the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, but not those of p38 or JNK. The LTD₄-induced migration and ERK1/2 phosphorylation were blocked by the CysLT₁-receptor antagonist montelukast and the dual antagonist Bay u9773, but not by the CysLT₂-receptor antagonist Bay cysLT2; the migration was also inhibited by the ERK1/2 inhibitor U0126. Our findings indicate that LTD₄ stimulates the CysLT₁ receptor–mediated migration of endothelial cells; this may be regulated by the ERK1/2 pathway.     

Stimulation of Sigma-1 receptor signaling by dehydroepiandrosterone ameliorates pressure overload-induced hypertrophy and dysfunctions in ovariectomized rats

Objective: Decreased dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) levels are associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased cardiovascular mortality in postmenopausal women. We investigated the role of DHEA, also known as sigma-1 receptor (Sig-1R) agonist, in myocardial hypertrophy, cardiac functional recovery and defined mechanisms of cardioprotective action. Methods: Wistar rats subjected to bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) were further treated with abdominal aortic stenosis. DHEA (15 and 30 mg/kg) was administered orally once a day for 14 days starting from 2 weeks after aortic banding. Results: Time course study indicated that left ventricle (LV) weight:body weight (BW) ratio increased time-dependently from 1 to 4 weeks after pressure-overload (PO) with significant inversed regulation of Sig-1R expression. Treatment with the Sig-1R agonist, DHEA, significantly attenuated PO-induced myocardial hypertrophy with increased expression of Sig-1R in the LV. DHEA also attenuated hypertrophy-induced impaired LV end diastolic pressure, LV developed pressure and LV contractility (± dp/dt_max). DHEA treatment significantly restored PO-induced impaired eNOS and Akt activity in the LV. Conclusion: We report, for the first time to our knowledge, the potential role of Sig-1R expression in the heart to attenuate PO-induced hypertrophy in ovariectomized rats. DHEA treatment protects against PO-induced cardiac injury via upregulation of Sig-1R and stimulation of Sig-1R-mediated Akt-eNOS signaling.     

Calcium and the replication of human vascular smooth muscle cells: studies on the activation and translocation of extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) and cyclin D1 expression

Since the precise role of sarcoplasmic reticular Ca2+ in mediating vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) proliferation is unknown, the effect of pre-incubation with thapsigargin on extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) activation, the translocation of activated of ERK 1/2 to the nucleus, cyclin D1 expression, the onset of S phase and cytosolic Ca2+ levels were studied. Human saphenous vein VSMCs (hVSMC) were incubated with 10 nM thapsigargin for 24 h followed by stimulation with fetal calf serum and the activation of ERK1/2 and cyclin D1 assessed by western blotting, the intracellular distribution of ERK1/2 using indirect immunofluorescence, the onset of S-phase with the incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine and sarcoplasmic reticular Ca2+ status using FURA-2. Thapsigargin had a marginal effect on ERK1/2 activation only at 5 min and 10 min after stimulation with fetal calf serum. In contrast, the rapid translocation of ERK1/2 to the nucleus was completely blocked by thapsigargin. S phase was delayed by 8 h by thapsigargin which co-incided with the recovery of cytosolic Ca2+ levels and cyclin D1 expression. It is concluded that the inhibitory effect of thapsigargin (depletion of Ca2+ pools) on hVSMC replication is mediated through the inhibition of translocation of activated ERK1/2 to the nucleus and not to the phosphorylation of ERK, per se, which in turn prevents cyclin D1 expression and thus progression of the cell cycle.     

Targeting sigma-1 receptor with fluvoxamine ameliorates pressure-overload-induced hypertrophy and dysfunctions

Objective: We here investigated the effect of sigma-1 receptor (Sig-1R) stimulation with fluvoxamine on myocardial hypertrophy, cardiac functional recovery and defined mechanisms underlying its cardioprotective action.

Methods: Wistar rats subjected to bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) were treated with abdominal aortic banding between the right and left renal arteries. To confirm the cardioprotective role of Sig-1R stimulation, we treated the rats with Sig-1R agonist (fluvoxamine, 0.5 and 1 mg/kg) orally once a day for 4 weeks after the onset of aortic banding.

Results: Interestingly, the expression of Sig-1R in the left ventricle (LV) decreased significantly 4 weeks after pressure overload (PO)-induced hypertrophy in OVX rats. The fluvoxamine administration significantly attenuated PO-induced myocardial hypertrophy with concomitant increase in the expression of Sig-1R in LV. Fluvoxamine also attenuated hypertrophy-induced impaired LV functions. The cardioprotective effect of fluvoxamine was nullified by treatment with Sig-1R antagonist (NE-100; 1 mg/kg). Fluvoxamine treatment significantly restored PO-induced impaired eNOS and Akt activity in the LV.

Conclusion: We here found, for the first time, the potential role of Sig-1R expression in the heart in attenuating PO-induced hypertrophy in OVX rats. Fluvoxamine treatment protects PO-induced cardiac injury via upregulation of Sig-1R and stimulation of Sig-1R-mediated Akt-eNOS signaling in ovariectomized rats.

Involvement of nitric oxide in the inhibition of angiogenesis by interleukin-2

Interleukin-2 (IL-2), an immunoregulatory cytokine possessing antitumour activity, is an inducer of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis in mice and man. In this study, the possibility that IL-2 possesses antiangiogenic properties that account for its antitumour effects in vivo was examined. IL-2 caused a dose-dependent inhibition of angiogenesis in the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). This inhibition was completely reversed by the NO synthase inhibitor N^G-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME). Furthermore, IL-2 was capable of stimulating NO synthase activity in the CAM in vitro and this effect was suppressed by L-NAME. Addition of IL-2 to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in culture, had no effect on their growth characteristics. These results suggest that IL-2 may be an important antiangiogenic molecule causing its effect via nitric oxide synthesis. The antiangiogenic activity of IL-2 may be, at least in part, responsible for its antitumour properties.
