MnTBAP increases BMPR-II expression in endothelial cells and attenuates vascular inflammation.


ABSTRACT: The endothelium plays an important role during vascular inflammation. Previous data have demonstrated a high expression level of manganese-superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) in endothelial cells and suggested an important role of MnSOD in several cardiovascular diseases. Manganese (III) tetrakis (4-benzoic acid) porphyrin (MnTBAP) has been shown to mimic some of the effects of MnSOD and prevented the development of diabetes and obesity. However, its effect on vascular inflammation and the underlying mechanism is still unknown.Leukocyte adhesion was evaluated in-vivo and in-vitro using dynamic flow chamber and intravital microscopy in mice. Expression of adhesion molecules induced by TNF? and adhesion of leukocytes to the vessel wall were inhibited by MnTBAP. The anti-inflammatory effect of MnTBAP was partly mediated by up-regulation of the BMPR-II and Smad dependent pathway. Additionally, MnTBAP decelerated the turn-over of endogenous BMPR-II.Our data demonstrate that MnTBAP activates Smad signaling, preserves the turn-over of BMPR-II and elicits anti-inflammatory effects in endothelial cells, partly mediated by BMPR-II. This finding suggests a potential therapeutic impact of MnTBAP in the treatment of vascular inflammation.
