Pparγ Gene

Background/Aims: salusin-ß is considered to be a potential pro-atherosclerotic factor. Regulation and function of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are important in the progression of atherosclerosis. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) exerts a vascular protective role beyond its metabolic effects. Salusin-ß has direct effects on VSMCs. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of salusin-ß on PPARγ gene expression in primary cultured rat VSMCs. Methods: Western blotting analysis, real-time PCR and transient transfection approach were used to determine expression of target proteins. Specific protein knockdown was performed with siRNA transfection. Cell proliferation was determined by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine incorporation. The levels of inflammation indicators interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Salusin-ß negatively regulated PPARγ gene expression at protein, mRNA and gene promoter level in VSMCs. The inhibitory effect of salusin-ß on PPARγ gene expression contributed to salusin-ß-induced VSMCs proliferation and inflammation in vitro. IγBa-NF-γB activation, but not NF-γB p50 or p65, mediated the salusin-ß-induced inhibition of PPARγ gene expression. Salusin-ß induced nuclear translocation of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3). HDAC3 siRNA prevented salusin-ß-induced PPARγ reduction. Nuclear translocation of HDAC3 in response to salusin-ß was significantly reversed by an IγBa inhibitor BAY 11-7085. Furthermore, IγBa-HDAC3 complex was present in the cytosol of VSMCs but interrupted after salusin-ß treatment. Conclusion: IγBa-HDAC3 pathway may contribute to salusin-ß-induced inhibition of PPARγ gene expression in VSMCs.

Ets-1 is a transcription factor that activates expression of matrix-degrading proteinases such as collagenase and stromelysin. To study the control of ets-1 gene expression in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC), cells were exposed to factors known to regulate VSMC migration and proliferation. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB), endothelin-1 (ET-1), and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) induced a dose-dependent expression of ets-1 mRNA. These effects were abrogated by inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) by H-7 or chronic PMA treatment. Ets-1 mRNA was superinduced by PDGF-BB and ET-1 in the presence of cycloheximide. The chelation of intracellular Ca2+ by 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane- N, N, N′, N′-tetraacetic acid-acetoxymethyl ester and the depletion of endoplasmic reticulum intracellular Ca2+concentration ([Ca2+]i) by thapsigargin inhibited PDGF-BB- and ET-1-induced ets-1 mRNA, whereas ethylene glycol-bis(β-aminoethyl ether)- N, N, N′, N′-tetraacetic acid had no effect. However, [Ca2+]irelease alone was not sufficient to increase ets-1 mRNA. Forskolin blocked ET-1-, PDGF-BB-, and PMA-induced ets-1 mRNA, as well as inositol phosphate formation, consistent with an effect through impairment of PKC activation. Inhibitors of ets-1 gene expression, such as H-7 and herbimycin A, inhibited the ET-1 induction of collagenase I mRNA. We propose that ets-1 may be an important element in the orchestration of matrix proteinase expression and of vascular remodeling after arterial injury.

We assessed the role of PGC-1α (PPARγ coactivator-1 alpha) in glucose-induced proliferation, migration, and inflammatory gene expression of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). We carried out phagocytosis studies to assess the role of PGC-1α in transdifferentiation of VSMCs by flow cytometry. We found that high glucose stimulated proliferation, migration and inflammatory gene expression of VSMCs, but overexpression of PGC-1α attenuated the effects of glucose. In addition, overexpression of PGC-1α decreased mRNA and protein level of VSMCs-related genes, and induced macrophage-related gene expression, as well as phagocytosis of VSMCs. Therefore, PGC-1α inhibited glucose-induced proliferation, migration and inflammatory gene expression of VSMCs, which are key features in the pathology of atherosclerosis. More importantly, PGC-1α transdifferentiated VSMCs to a macrophage-like state. Such transdifferentiation possibly increased the portion of VSMCs-derived foam cells in the plaque and favored plaque stability.
