LncRNA RP11-531A24.3 inhibits the migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells by downregulating ANXA2 expression

ABSTRACT: A complete understanding of the behavioral influence and phenotypic transition of vascular smooth muscle cells, as well as the effects of the characteristics of these cells on the physiological and pathological processes of atherosclerosis, is crucial if new therapeutic targets for atherosclerosis are to be identified. In the present study, the long non-coding RNA RP11-531A24.3 was identified to be expressed at low levels in plaque tissues through screening a microarray for differentially expressed genes. The functional experimental results suggested that RP11-531A24.3 reduced the viability and inhibited the migration of human aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (HA-VSMCs). RNA antisense purification-mass spectrometry was used to identify the RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) for RP11-531A24.3. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis indicated that the pathway with the highest degree of association with RP11-531A24.3 RBPs was related to cell migration. The reduced migration and viability mediated by RP11-531A24.3 overexpression was more significantly suppressed after annexin 2 (ANXA2) depletion in RP11-531A24.3-overexpressing HA-VSMCs. Culture of HA-VSMCs under hypoxic conditions (1% O2) reduced the expression of RP11-531A24.3, and enhanced the protein expression of ANXA2 and HIF-1α, while knockdown of ANXA2 downregulated the protein expression of HIF-1α. These results suggested that RP11-531A24.3 regulated the proliferation and migration of HA-VSMCs through ANXA2 expression, and hypoxia may be an external factor in the regulation of RP11-531A24.3 and its downstream targets.

Decorin mimic inhibits vascular smooth muscle proliferation and migration.

Project description:Over the past 10 years, the number of percutaneous coronary intervention procedures performed in the United States increased by 33%; however, restenosis, which inhibits complete functional recovery of the vessel wall, complicates this procedure. A wide range of anti-restenotic therapeutics have been developed, although many elicit non-specific effects that compromise vessel healing. Drawing inspiration from biologically-relevant molecules, our lab developed a mimic of the natural proteoglycan decorin, termed DS-SILY, which can mask exposed collagen and thereby effectively decrease platelet activation, thus contributing to suppression of vascular intimal hyperplasia. Here, we characterize the effects of DS-SILY on both proliferative and quiescent human SMCs to evaluate the potential impact of DS-SILY-SMC interaction on restenosis, and further characterize in vivo platelet interactions. DS-SILY decreased proliferative SMC proliferation and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in vitro in a concentration dependent manner as compared to untreated controls. The addition of DS-SILY to in vitro SMC cultures decreased SMC migration and protein synthesis by 95% and 37%, respectively. Furthermore, DS-SILY decreased platelet activation, as well as reduced neointimal hyperplasia by 60%, in vivo using Ossabaw swine. These results indicate that DS-SILY demonstrates multiple biological activities that may all synergistically contribute to an improved treatment paradigm for balloon angioplasty.

Smooth Muscle-Alpha Actin Inhibits Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation and Migration by Inhibiting Rac1 Activity.

Project description:Smooth muscle alpha-actin (SMA) is a marker for the contractile, non-proliferative phenotype of adult smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Upon arterial injury, expression of SMA and other structural proteins decreases and SMCs acquire a pro-migratory and proliferative phenotype. To what extent SMA regulates migration and proliferation of SMCs is unclear and putative signaling pathways involved remain to be elucidated. Here, we used lentiviral-mediated gene transfer and siRNA technology to manipulate expression of SMA in carotid mouse SMCs and studied effects of SMA. Overexpression of SMA results in decreased proliferation and migration and blunts serum-induced activation of the small GTPase Rac, but not RhoA. All inhibitory effects of SMA are rescued by expression of a constitutively active Rac1 mutant (V12rac1). Moreover, reduction of SMA expression by siRNA technology results in an increased activation of Rac. Taken together, this study identifies Rac1 as a downstream target for SMA to inhibit SMC proliferation and migration.

Trichostatin A enhances proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells by downregulating thioredoxin 1.

Project description:AimsA reduction in the level of thioredoxin 1 (Trx1) has been proposed as a possible mechanism for the tumor-specific growth arrest caused by inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDACs). In this study, we investigated the effect of trichostatin A (TSA), a potent HDAC inhibitor, on the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and we examined the role of reduced Trx1 levels in this effect.Methods and resultsTSA treatment time-dependently decreased Trx1 expression in rat VSMCs at both the mRNA and protein levels. It also enhanced platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced proliferation and migration of the VSMCs. By potentiating Akt phosphorylation, the siRNA-induced downregulation of Trx1 also enhanced VSMC proliferation and migration in response to PDGF or serum treatment. Consistent with these results, TSA administration increased neointimal thickening in a murine model of post-angioplastic restenosis.ConclusionThese data demonstrate that TSA enhances vascular proliferative activity by downregulating Trx1, thus activating an Akt-dependent pathway. Our results indicate that, in addition to its apoptotic effects in tumour cells, the downregulation of Trx1 has a proliferative role in primary VSMCs.

[Daxx overexpression inhibits Ang?-induced proliferation and migration in vascular smooth muscle cells].

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To construct a recombinant lentiviral expression vector pCDH-Daxx-EGFP to investigate the effect of Daxx on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). METHODS:The recombinant lentiviral expression vector pCDHDaxx-EGFP was constructed using PCR-based accurate synthesis method. After identification by sequencing and enzyme digestion, the recombinant lentiviral vector was contransfected into 293T cells with lentivirus packaging vector. The recombinant lentivirus particles were collected and purified to infect VSMCs, whose expression of Daxx was detected with Western boltting. The cells infected with the empty vector pCDH-EGFP or pCDH-Daxx-EGFP were incubated in serum-free medium or in the presence of angiotensin ? (Ang?). The cell viability was determined with MTT assay, and the cell cycle changes were analyzed with flow cytometry. The cell migration ability was assessed using a scratch wound healing assay. The expression of p-Akt protein in the cells was detected using Western blotting. RESULTS:Double enzyme digestion and sequencing confirmed successful construction of the recombinant plasmid. Compared with the cells infected with the empty vector, the cells infected with pCDH-Daxx-EGFP exhibited significantly increased expressions of Daxx protein (P < 0.05). Ang? treatment of the cells infected with the pCDH-Daxx-EGFP, as compared with the cells infected with the empty vector, significantly lowered the cell viability, S phase cell ratio and cell migration ability (P < 0.05), and significantly decreased the expression level of p-Akt protein (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:We successfully constructed the recombinant lentiviral vector pCDH-Daxx-EGFP and overexpressed Daxx in primary cultured VSMCs using this vector. Daxx overexpression can inhibit Ang?-induced proliferation and migration in VSMCs probably by regulating p-Akt protein.

Luteolin Inhibits Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation and Migration by Inhibiting TGFBR1 Signaling.

Project description:Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and migration play a critical role in the development of arterial remodeling during various vascular diseases including atherosclerosis, hypertension, and related diseases. Luteolin is a food-derived flavonoid that exerts protective effects on cardiovascular diseases. Here, we investigated whether transforming growth factor-? receptor 1 (TGFBR1) signaling underlies the inhibitory effects of luteolin on VSMC proliferation and migration. We found that luteolin reduced the proliferation and migration of VSMCs, specifically A7r5 and HASMC cells, in a dose-dependent manner, based on MTS and EdU, and Transwell and wound healing assays, respectively. We also demonstrated that it inhibited the expression of proliferation-related proteins including PCNA and Cyclin D1, as well as the migration-related proteins MMP2 and MMP9, in a dose-dependent manner by western blotting. In addition, luteolin dose-dependently inhibited the phosphorylation of TGFBR1, Smad2, and Smad3. Notably, adenovirus-mediated overexpression of TGFBR1 enhanced TGFBR1, Smad2, and Smad3 activation in VSMCs and partially blocked the inhibitory effect of luteolin on TGFBR1, Smad2, and Smad3. Moreover, overexpression of TGFBR1 rescued the inhibitory effects of luteolin on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs. Additionally, molecular docking showed that this compound could dock onto an agonist binding site of TGFBR1, and that the binding energy between luteolin and TGFBR1 was -10.194 kcal/mol. Simulations of molecular dynamics showed that TGFBR1-luteolin binding was stable. Collectively, these data demonstrated that luteolin might inhibit VSMC proliferation and migration by suppressing TGFBR1 signaling.

miR-599 Inhibits Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Proliferation and Migration by Targeting TGFB2.

Project description:Aberrant proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases including coronary heart disease, restenosis and atherosclerosis. MicroRNAs are a class of small, non-coding and endogenous RNAs that play critical roles in VSMCs function. In this study, we showed that PDGF-bb, as a stimulant, promoted VSMCs proliferation and suppressed the expression of miR-599. Moreover, overexpression of miR-599 inhibited VSMCs proliferation and also suppressed the PCNA and ki-67 expression. In addition, we demonstrated that ectopic expression of miR-599 repressed the VSMCs migration. We also showed that miR-599 inhibited type I collagen, type V collagen and proteoglycan expression. Furthermore, we identified TGFb2 as a direct target gene of miR-599 in VSMCs. Overexpression of TGFb2 reversed miR-599-induced inhibition of VSMCs proliferation and type I collagen, type V collagen and proteoglycan expression. In conclusion, our findings suggest miR-599 plays a crucial role in controlling VSMCs proliferation and matrix gene expression by regulating TGFb2 expression.

Rapamycin inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell migration.

Project description:Abnormal vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) proliferation and migration contribute to the development of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and accelerated arteriopathy after cardiac transplantation. Previously, we reported that the macrolide antibiotic rapamycin, but not the related compound FK506, inhibits both human and rat aortic SMC proliferation in vitro by inhibiting cell cycle-dependent kinases and delaying phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (Marx, S.O., T. Jayaraman, L.O. Go, and A.R. Marks. 1995. Circ. Res. 362:801). In the present study the effects of rapamycin on SMC migration were assayed in vitro using a modified Boyden chamber and in vivo using a porcine aortic SMC explant model. Pretreatment with rapamycin (2 ng/ml) for 48 h inhibited PDGF-induced migration (PDGF BB homodimer; 20 ng/ml) in cultured rat and human SMC (n = 10; P < 0.0001), whereas FK506 had no significant effect on migration. Rapamycin administered orally (1 mg/kg per d for 7 d) significantly inhibited porcine aortic SMC migration compared with control (n = 15; P < 0.0001). Thus, in addition to being a potent immunosuppressant and antiproliferative, rapamycin also inhibits SMC migration.

Curcumin inhibits proliferation, migration and neointimal formation of vascular smooth muscle via activating miR-22.

Project description:Context: Curcumin has antitumor, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-proliferative properties.Objective: To investigate the role of miR-22 during curcumin-induced changes in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and neointima formation in balloon-injured rat abdominal aorta.Materials and methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomised to the sham-operated (n = 10), operated control (injured, n = 10), and curcumin treatment (n = 10) groups. miR-22 expression was determined by real-time PCR. SP1 was assessed by western blot and real-time PCR. Rat aortic smooth muscle A7r5 cells were used to determine VSMC proliferation and migration, which were measured by the MTS, EdU staining, Transwell, and wound healing assays.Results: miR-22 levels declined following arterial balloon injury in vivo (48% at 3d, p < 0.05) and serum stimulation in vitro (45% at 24 h, p < 0.01). Functional studies revealed that miR-22 negatively regulated the proliferation and migration of VSMCs by directly targeting the SP1 transcription factor in VSMCs. Curcumin increased the expression of miR-22 (81%, p < 0.05) and decreased the protein expression of SP1 in VSMCs (25%, p < 0.05). miR-22 inhibition was found to attenuate the effects of curcumin on VSMC functions. Curcumin increased miR-22 (46%, p < 0.01), decreased the SP1 protein (19%, p < 0.05), and inhibited vascular neointimal area (48%, p < 0.01) in vivo.Discussion: The miR-22/SP1 pathway is involved in the protective role of curcumin during arterial balloon injury, but the mechanisms remain unclear.Conclusion: miR-22 is involved in the inhibitory effects of curcumin on VSMCs' proliferation, migration and neointima hyperplasia after arterial balloon injury in rats. Curcumin could be used to prevent neointimal hyperplasia after angioplasty.

Plin5 inhibits proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cell through interacting with PGC-1α following vascular injury.

Project description:Abnormal proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) is a hallmark of vascular neointima hyperplasia. Perilipin 5 (Plin5), a regulator of lipid metabolism, is also confirmed to be involved in vascular disorders, such as microvascular endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. To investigate the regulation and function of plin5 in the phenotypic alteration of VSMC, -an animal model of vascular intima hyperplasia was established in C57BL/6 J and Plin5 knockdown (Plin5±) mice by wire injure. Immunohistochemical staining was used to analyze neointima hyperplasia in artery. Ki-67, dihydroethidium immunofluorescence staining and wound healing assay were used to measure proliferation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and migration of VSMC, respectively. Plin5 was downregulated in artery subjected to vascular injury and in VSMC subjected to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB. Plin5 knockdown led to accelerated neointima hyperplasia, excessive proliferation and migration of VSMC after injury. In vitro, we observed increased ROS content in VSMC isolated from Plin5± mice. Antioxidative N-acetylcysteine (NAC) inhibited VSMC proliferation and migration induced by PDGF-BB or plin5 knockdown. More importantly, plin5-peroxlsome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator (PGC)-1α interaction was also attenuated in VSMC after knockdown of plin5. Overexpression of PGC-1α suppressed PDGF-BB-induced ROS generation, proliferation, and migration in VSMC isolated from Plin5± mice. These data suggest that plin5 serves as a potent regulator of VSMC proliferation, migration, and neointima hyperplasia by interacting with PGC-1α and affecting ROS generation.

Notoginsenoside R1 inhibits vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration and neointimal hyperplasia through PI3K/Akt signaling.

Project description:Restenosis caused by neointimal hyperplasia significantly decreases long-term efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), stenting, and by-pass surgery for managing coronary and peripheral arterial diseases. A major cause of pathological neointima formation is abnormal vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and migration. Notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1) is a novel saponin that is derived from Panax notoginseng and has reported cardioprotective, neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. However, its role in modulating VSMC neointima formation remains unexplored. Herein, we report that NGR1 inhibits serum-induced VSMC proliferation and migration by regulating VSMC actin cytoskeleton dynamics. Using a mouse femoral artery endothelium denudation model, we further demonstrate that systemic administration of NGR1 had a potent therapeutic effect in mice, significantly reducing neointimal hyperplasia following acute vessel injury. Mechanistically, we show that NGR1's mode of action is through inhibiting the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling. Taken together, this study identified NGR1 as a potential therapeutic agent for combating restenosis after PTA in cardiovascular diseases.
