Thrombospondin-1 inhibits endothelial cell responses to nitric oxide in a cGMP-dependent manner.

ABSTRACT: Redox signaling plays an important role in the positive regulation of angiogenesis by vascular endothelial growth factor, but its role in signal transduction by angiogenesis inhibitors is less clear. Using muscle explants in 3D culture, we found that explants from mice lacking the angiogenesis inhibitor thrombospondin-1 (TSP1) exhibit exaggerated angiogenic responses to an exogenous NO donor, which could be reversed by providing exogenous TSP1. To define the basis for inhibition by TSP1, we examined the effects of TSP1 on several proangiogenic responses of endothelial cells to NO. NO has a biphasic effect on endothelial cell proliferation. The positive effect at low doses of NO is sensitive to inhibition of cGMP signaling and picomolar concentrations of TSP1. NO stimulates both directed (chemotactic) and random (chemokinetic) motility of endothelial cells in a cGMP-dependent manner. TSP1 potently inhibits chemotaxis stimulated by NO. Low doses of NO also stimulate adhesion of endothelial cells on type I collagen in a cGMP-dependent manner. TSP1 potently inhibits this response both upstream and downstream of cGMP. NO-stimulated endothelial cell responses are inhibited by recombinant type 1 repeats of TSP1 and a CD36 agonist antibody but not by the N-terminal portion of TSP1, suggesting that CD36 or a related receptor mediates these effects. These results demonstrate a potent antagonism between TSP1 and proangiogenic signaling downstream of NO. Further elucidation of this inhibitory signaling pathway may identify new molecular targets to regulate pathological angiogenesis.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Impaired endothelial cell (EC) autophagy compromises shear stress-induced nitric oxide (NO) generation. We determined the responsible mechanism. APPROACH AND RESULTS:On autophagy compromise in bovine aortic ECs exposed to shear stress, a decrease in glucose uptake and EC glycolysis attenuated ATP production. We hypothesized that decreased glycolysis-dependent purinergic signaling via P2Y1 (P2Y purinoceptor 1) receptors, secondary to impaired autophagy in ECs, prevents shear-induced phosphorylation of eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) at its positive regulatory site S1117 (p-eNOSS1177) and NO generation. Maneuvers that restore glucose transport and glycolysis (eg, overexpression of GLUT1 [glucose transporter 1]) or purinergic signaling (eg, addition of exogenous ADP) rescue shear-induced p-eNOSS1177 and NO production in ECs with impaired autophagy. Conversely, inhibiting glucose transport via GLUT1 small interfering RNA, blocking purinergic signaling via ectonucleotidase-mediated ATP/ADP degradation (eg, apyrase), or inhibiting P2Y1 receptors using pharmacological (eg, MRS2179 [2'-deoxy-N6-methyladenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate tetrasodium salt]) or genetic (eg, P2Y1-receptor small interfering RNA) procedures inhibit shear-induced p-eNOSS1177 and NO generation in ECs with intact autophagy. Supporting a central role for PKC?T505 (protein kinase C delta T505) in relaying the autophagy-dependent purinergic-mediated signal to eNOS, we find that (1) shear stress-induced activating phosphorylation of PKC?T505 is negated by inhibiting autophagy, (2) shear-induced p-eNOSS1177 and NO generation are restored in autophagy-impaired ECs via pharmacological (eg, bryostatin) or genetic (eg, constitutively active PKC?) activation of PKC?T505, and (3) pharmacological (eg, rottlerin) and genetic (eg, PKC? small interfering RNA) PKC? inhibition prevents shear-induced p-eNOSS1177 and NO generation in ECs with intact autophagy. Key nodes of dysregulation in this pathway on autophagy compromise were revealed in human arterial ECs. CONCLUSIONS:Targeted reactivation of purinergic signaling and PKC? has strategic potential to restore compromised NO generation in pathologies associated with suppressed EC autophagy.
