Payne GA, Bohlen HG, Dincer ÜD, Borbouse L, Tune JD. Periadventitial adipose tissue impairs coronary endothelial function via PKC-dependent phosphorylation of nitric oxide synthase. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 297: H460–H465, 2009. First published May 29, 2009; doi:10.1152/ajpheart.00116.2009.—Endogenous periadventitial adipose-derived factors have been shown to contribute to coronary vascular regulation by impairing endothelial function through a direct inhibition of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). However, our understanding of the underlying mechanisms remains uncertain. Accordingly, this study was designed to test the hypothesis that periadventitial adipose tissue releases agents that attenuate coronary endothelial nitric oxide production via a protein kinase C (PKC)dependent mechanism. Isometric tension studies were conducted on isolated canine circumflex coronary arteries with and without natural amounts of periadventitial adipose tissue. Adipose tissue significantly diminished coronary endothelial-dependent vasodilation and nitric oxide production in response to bradykinin and acetylcholine. The selective inhibition of endothelial PKCwith ruboxistaurin (1 M) abolished the adipose-induced impairment of bradykinin-mediated coronary vasodilation and the endothelial production of nitric oxide. Western blot analysis revealed a significant increase in eNOS phosphorylation at the inhibitory residue Thr in arteries exposed to periadventitial adipose tissue. This site-specific phosphorylation of eNOS was prevented by the inhibition of PKC. These data demonstrate that periadventitial adipose-derived factors impair coronary endothelial nitric oxide production via a PKC-dependent, sitespecific phosphorylation of eNOS at Thr.

متن کاملHyperhomocystinemia impairs endothelial function and eNOS activity via PKC activation.
OBJECTIVE A risk factor for cardiovascular disease, hyperhomocystinemia (HHcy), is associated with endothelial dysfunction. In this study, we examined the mechanistic role of HHcy in endothelial dysfunction. METHODS AND RESULTS Through the use of 2 functional models, aortic rings and intravital video microscopy of the cremaster, we found that arterial relaxation in response to the endothelium...
متن کاملPhosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase by atypical PKC contributes to angiopoietin-1–dependent inhibition of VEGF-induced endothelial permeability in vitro
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic cytokine that also increases vascular permeability. Nitric oxide (NO) released from endothelial cells, after activation of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), contributes to proangiogenic and permeability effects of VEGF. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1), via Tie2 receptors, shares many of the proangiogenic properties of VEGF on endothelial cel...
متن کاملInteractions between vascular wall and perivascular adipose tissue reveal novel roles for adiponectin in the regulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase function in human vessels.
BACKGROUND Adiponectin is an adipokine with potentially important roles in human cardiovascular disease states. We studied the role of adiponectin in the cross-talk between adipose tissue and vascular redox state in patients with atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS The study included 677 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Endothelial function was evaluated by flow-medi...

Various polymorphisms on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOs) gene cause reduced production of NO, the endothelial relaxing factor, and may accelerate the process of atherosclerosis. The study designed to investigate the frequency of T-786C polymorphism of the eNOs gene in patients suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD) in north-west of Iran. One hundred twenty subjects including 60 p...
