Histone deacetylase inhibitor LMK235 attenuates vascular constriction and aortic remodelling in hypertension.

ABSTRACT: Here, we report that LMK235, a class I and histone deacetylase (HDAC6)-preferential HDAC inhibitor, reduces hypertension via inhibition of vascular contraction and vessel hypertrophy. Angiotensin II-infusion mice and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) were used to test the anti-hypertensive effect of LMK235. Daily injection of LMK235 lowered angiotensin II-induced systolic blood pressure (BP). A reduction in systolic BP in SHRs was observed on the second day when SHRs were treated with 3 mg/kg LMK235 every 3 days. However, LMK235 treatment did not affect angiotensin-converting enzyme 1 and angiotensin II receptor mRNA expression in either hypertensive model. LMK235, acting via the nitric oxide pathway, facilitated the relaxing of vascular contractions induced by a thromboxane A2 agonist in the rat aortic and mesenteric artery ring test. In addition, LMK235 increased nitric oxide production in HUVECs and inhibited the increasing of aortic wall thickness in both animal hypertensive models. LMK235 decreased the enhanced cell cycle-related genes cyclin D1 and E2F3 in angiotensin II-infusion mice and restored the decreased p21 expression. In addition, LMK235 suppressed calcium calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) ?, which is related to vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. Inhibition or knockdown of HDAC5 blocked the CaMKII?-induced cell cycle gene expression. Immunoprecipitation demonstrated that class I HDACs were involved in the inhibition of CaMKII ?-induced HDAC4/5 by LMK235. We suggest that LMK235 should be further investigated for its use in the development of new therapeutic options to treat hypertension via reducing vascular hyperplasia or vasoconstriction.

Project description:BackgroundSevere burns, trauma and shock can cause intestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction, which can lead to intestinal endotoxemia and even sepsis and multi-organ dysfunction. Many studies have shown that histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) can improve cell tolerance to hypoxia and inflammation, thus protecting the functions of important organs in the body, and at the same time, inhibiting the degradation of tight junction (TJ) proteins, protecting the intercellular barrier, and reducing tissue edema and organ damage. However, the mechanism is unclear.MethodsEighty male Sprague-Dawley rats (weighing 280-300 g) with a 50% total body surface area full-thickness dermal burn were randomly assigned to 4 groups (20 rats/group): sham control (SC group), scald + normal saline (SN group), scald + 2-methyl-2pentenoic acid (2M2P group), and scald + valproic acid (VPA group). After scalding, we measured the following parameters at various time intervals postburn injury: intestinal mucosal injury score, diamine oxidase (DAO) activity, intestinal protein expression of acetyl histone H3 at K9 (Ac-H3K9), hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), erythropoietin (EPO), zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) content, nitric oxide (NO) content, and intestinal mucosal blood flow (IMBF).ResultsIntestinal mucosa showed significant morphologic injury at 4 and 8 hours after scalding that was attenuated by VPA. DAO activity in the VPA group was significantly decreased compared with the other scald groups. At 4 and 8 hours after scalding, VPA enhanced Ac-H3K9 and ZO-1 expression and decreased HIF-1α and EPO expression in the intestine compared with the other scald groups. At 4 and 8 hours after scalding, eNOS and NO protein content and IMBF in the VPA group were markedly increased compared with the other scald groups.ConclusionsHDACIs attenuated intestinal mucosal injury in fatally scalded rats. This may have involved VPA enhancing Ac-H3K9 and ZO-1 expression, inhibiting HIF-1α and EPO expression and inducing eNOS and NO increments.

Project description:Antioxidant peptide SS-31 is a class of cell-permeable small peptides, which selectively resides on the inner mitochondrial membrane and possesses intrinsic mitochondrial protective capacities. In this study we investigated the therapeutic effects of antioxidant peptide SS-31 on transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in a murine model.Adult male mice were divided into 3 groups: sham-operated mice, TAC mice, and TAC+SS-31 mice that underwent TAC surgery and received SS-31 (2 mg/d, ip) for 60 d. The right ventricular systolic blood pressure (RVSBP) was measured on d 60 prior to sacrificing the mice; then their right heart and lung tissues were collected for histological and biochemical examinations. Lung injury scores were defined by the increased crowded area and decreased number of alveolar sacs.TAC mice showed significantly higher RVSBP compared with sham-operated mice, the elevation was substantially suppressed in TAC+SS-31 mice. The same pattern of changes was found in pulmonary levels of oxidative stress proteins (NOX-1/NOX-2/oxidized proteins), cytosolic cytochrome c, biomarkers related to inflammation (MMP-9/TNF-α/iNOS), calcium overload index (TRPC1, 2, 4, 6), apoptosis (mitochondrial BAX, cleaved caspase 3/PARP), fibrosis (Smad3/TGF-β), hypoxic (HIF-1α), DNA damage (γ-H2AX) and endothelial function (eNOS/ET-1R), as well as in lung injury score, number of muscularized vessels in lungs, number of TRPC1(+) and HIF-1α(+) cells in pulmonary artery, and number of γ-H2AX(+) and Ki-67(+) cells in lung parenchyma. An opposite pattern of changes was observed in pulmonary anti-fibrotic markers (Smad1/5, BMP-2), number of small vessels, and number of alveolar sacs. In contrast, the levels of antioxidant proteins (HO-1/NQO-1/GR/GPx) in lung parenchyma were progressively and significantly increased from sham-operated mice, TAC mice to TAC+SS-31 mice.Antioxidant peptide SS-31 administration effectively attenuates TAC-induced PAH in mice.
