Dietary phosphorus acutely impairs endothelial function.

ABSTRACT: Excessive dietary phosphorus may increase cardiovascular risk in healthy individuals as well as in patients with chronic kidney disease, but the mechanisms underlying this risk are not completely understood. To determine whether postprandial hyperphosphatemia may promote endothelial dysfunction, we investigated the acute effect of phosphorus loading on endothelial function in vitro and in vivo. Exposing bovine aortic endothelial cells to a phosphorus load increased production of reactive oxygen species, which depended on phosphorus influx via sodium-dependent phosphate transporters, and decreased nitric oxide production via inhibitory phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Phosphorus loading inhibited endothelium-dependent vasodilation of rat aortic rings. In 11 healthy men, we alternately served meals containing 400 mg or 1200 mg of phosphorus in a double-blind crossover study and measured flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery before and 2 h after the meals. The high dietary phosphorus load increased serum phosphorus at 2 h and significantly decreased flow-mediated dilation. Flow-mediated dilation correlated inversely with serum phosphorus. Taken together, these findings suggest that endothelial dysfunction mediated by acute postprandial hyperphosphatemia may contribute to the relationship between serum phosphorus level and the risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Project description:Discrete calcium signals within the vascular endothelium decrease with age and contribute to impaired endothelial-dependent vasodilation. Calreticulin (Calr), a multifunctional calcium binding protein and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone, can mediate calcium signals and vascular function within the endothelial cells (ECs) of small resistance arteries. We found Calr protein expression significantly decreases with age in mesenteric arteries and examined the functional role of EC Calr in vasodilation and calcium mobilization in the context of aging. Third-order mesenteric arteries from mice with or without EC Calr knockdown were examined for calcium signals and constriction to phenylephrine (PE) or vasodilation to carbachol (CCh) after 75 wk of age. PE constriction in aged mice with or without EC Calr was unchanged. However, calcium signals and vasodilation to endothelial-dependent agonist carbachol were significantly impaired in aged EC Calr knockdown mice. Ex vivo incubation of arteries with the ER stress inhibitor tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) significantly improved vasodilation in mice lacking EC Calr. Our data suggests diminished vascular Calr expression with age can contribute to the detrimental effects of aging on endothelial calcium regulation and vasodilation.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Calreticulin (Calr) is responsible for key physiological processes in endoplasmic reticulum, especially in aging tissue. In particular, endothelial Calr is crucial to vascular function. In this study, we deleted Calr from the endothelium and aged the mice up to 75 wk to examine changes in vascular function. We found two key differences: 1) calcium events in endothelium were severely diminished after muscarinic stimulation, which 2) corresponded with a dramatic decrease in muscarinic vasodilation. Remarkably, we were able to rescue the effect of Calr deletion on endothelial-dependent vasodilatory function using tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), an inhibitor of endoplasmic reticulum stress that is currently in clinical trials.

Project description:To evaluate if p53 decreases Kruppel-Like Factor 2 (KLF2) expression and determine whether p53-mediated suppression of KLF2 plays a role in p53-induced endothelial dysfunction.Endothelial KLF2 mediates endothelium-dependent vascular homeostasis by differentially regulating endothelial genes, leading to an anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic endothelial surface with normal vasodilatory function. In contrast, the tumor suppressor p53 leads to inflammatory gene expression and impairs endothelium-dependent vasodilatation, thus promoting endothelial dysfunction. The effect of p53 on KLF2 expression was determined. p53 inhibited KLF2 transcription in a histone deacetylase-dependent and a histone acetyltransferase-independent fashion. KLF2 expression was suppressed by p53 via a conserved p53-binding repressor sequence in its promoter. p53 bound to, and stimulated, deacetylation of Histone H3 at the KLF2 promoter. The effect of p53 on endothelial KLF2 target genes was examined. Downregulation of p53 increased expression of endothelial NO synthase and thrombomodulin and inhibited expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor 1. Conversely, overexpression of p53 suppressed endothelial NO synthase and thrombomodulin expression and stimulated plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 and endothelin-1 expression. Knockdown of KLF2 abolished the p53-induced decrease in thrombomodulin and increase in endothelin-1. Both, overexpression of p53 and knockdown of KLF2 in endothelial cells increased blood coagulation on an endothelial cell monolayer. The p53-induced increase in coagulation was rescued by forced expression of KLF2. p53 also impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilatation and decreased bioavailable vascular NO, both of which were rescued by forced KLF2 expression.These findings illustrate a novel p53-dependent mechanism for the regulation of endothelial KLF2 expression. In addition, they show that downregulation of KLF2, in part, mediates a p53-stimulated dysfunctional endothelium.
