ABSTRACT: We have shown that glucosamine (GlcN) or O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranosylidene)amino-N-phenylcarbamate (PUGNAc) treatment augments O-linked-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) protein modification and attenuates inflammatory mediator expression, leukocyte infiltration and neointima formation in balloon injured rat carotid arteries and have identified the arterial smooth muscle cell (SMC) as the target cell in the injury response. NF?B signaling has been shown to mediate the expression of inflammatory genes and neointima formation in injured arteries. Phosphorylation of the p65 subunit of NF?B is required for the transcriptional activation of NF?B. This study tested the hypothesis that GlcN or PUGNAc treatment protects vascular SMCs against tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-? induced inflammatory stress by enhancing O-GlcNAcylation and inhibiting TNF-? induced phosphorylation of NF?B p65, thus inhibiting NF?B signaling.Quiescent rat aortic SMCs were pretreated with GlcN (5 mM), PUGNAc (10(-4) M) or vehicle and then stimulated with TNF-? (10 ng/ml). Both treatments inhibited TNF-?-induced expression of chemokines [cytokine-induced neutrophil chemoattractant (CINC)-2? and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1] and adhesion molecules [vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 and P-Selectin]. Both treatments inhibited TNF-? induced NF?B p65 activation and promoter activity, increased NF?B p65 O-GlcNAcylation and inhibited NF?B p65 phosphorylation at Serine 536, thus promoting I?B? binding to NF?B p65.There is a reciprocal relationship between O-GlcNAcylation and phosphorylation of NF?B p65, such that increased NF?B p65 O-GlcNAc modification inhibits TNF-?-Induced expression of inflammatory mediators through inhibition of NF?B p65 signaling. These findings provide a mechanistic basis for our previous observations that GlcN and PUGNAc treatments inhibit inflammation and remodeling induced by acute endoluminal arterial injury.
