Period2 deficiency blunts hypoxia-induced mobilization and function of endothelial progenitor cells.


ABSTRACT:

Background

In the clinic, variations in circadian rhythm are evident in patients with cardiovascular disease, and the risk of cardiovascular events increases when rhythms are disrupted. In this study, we focused on the role of the circadian gene period2 (per2) in mobilization and function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in vitro and in vivo after myocardial infarction (MI) in mice.

Methods and results

MI was produced by surgical ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery in mice with and without per2 deficiency. Trans-thoracic echocardiography was used to evaluate cardiac function in mice. Per2-/- mice with MI showed decreased cardiac function and increased infarct size. The number of CD34+ cells and capillary density were decreased in the myocardium of per2-/- mice on immunohistochemistry. Flow cytometry revealed decreased number of circulating EPCs in per2-/- mice after MI. In vitro, per2-/- EPCs showed decreased migration and tube formation capacity under hypoxia. Western blot analysis revealed inhibited activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and Akt signaling in the bone marrow of per2-/- mice and inhibited PI3K/Akt expression in per2-/- EPCs under hypoxia.

Conclusions

Per2 modulates EPC mobilization and function after MI, which is important to recovery after MI in mice.
