Chebulinic acid inhibits smooth muscle cell migration by suppressing PDGF-R? phosphorylation and inhibiting matrix metalloproteinase-2 expression.


ABSTRACT: Excessive migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) after vascular injury contributes to the development of occlusive vascular disease. Inhibition of VSMC migration is a validated therapeutic modality for occlusive vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis. We investigated the inhibitory effect of chebulinic acid (CBA) on cell migration and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 activation in platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB-induced mouse and human VSMCs. CBA significantly inhibited PDGF-BB-induced migration in mouse and human VSMCs, without inducing cell death. Additionally, CBA significantly blocked PDGF-BB-induced phosphorylation of the PDGF receptor (PDGF-R), Akt, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 by inhibiting the activation of the PDGF-BB signalling pathway. In both mouse and human VSMCs, CBA inhibited PDGF-induced MMP-2 mRNA and protein expression as well as the proteolytic activity of MMP-2. Moreover, CBA suppressed sprout outgrowth formation of VSMCs from endothelium-removed aortic rings as well as neointima formation following rat carotid balloon injury. Taken together, our findings indicated that CBA inhibits VSMC migration by decreasing MMP-2 expression through PDGF-R and the ERK1/2 and Akt pathways. Our data may improve the understanding of the antiatherogenic effects of CBA in VSMCs.
