چکیده

BACKGROUND Reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide (O(2)(-)), are involved in the abnormal growth of various cell types. Angiotensin II (Ang II) is one of the most potent inducers of oxidative stress in the vasculature. The molecular events involved in Ang II-induced proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are only partially understood. METHODS AND RESULTS Ang II as well as xanthine/xanthine oxidase (X/XO) led to enhanced DNA synthesis and proliferation of VSMCs. The effect of Ang II was abolished by diphenylene iodonium. Consequently, VSMCs were incubated with X/XO, and modulation of gene expression was monitored by differential display, leading to the identification of a novel redox-sensitive gene, the dominant-negative helix-loop-helix protein Id3, which was upregulated within 30 minutes by X/XO and Ang II. Superoxide dismutase but not catalase inhibited this effect. Overexpression of antisense Id3 via transfection in VSMCs completely abolished Ang II- and X/XO-induced cell proliferation. Ang II, X/XO, and overexpression of sense Id3 downregulated protein expression of p21(WAF1/Cip1), p27(Kip1), and p53. Overexpression of antisense Id3 abrogated the effect of Ang II on the expression of p21(WAF1/Cip1), p27(Kip1), and p53. Ang II and overexpression of sense Id3 caused hyperphosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein. Ang II-induced phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein was decreased by overexpression of antisense Id3. CONCLUSIONS Ang II induces proliferation of VSMCs via production of superoxide, which enhances the expression of Id3. Id3 governs the downstream mitogenic processing via depression of p21(WAF1/Cip1), p27(Kip1), and p53. These findings reveal a novel redox-sensitive pathway involved in growth control.

Redox-sensitive vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation is mediated by GKLF and Id3 in vitro and in vivo.

Reactive oxygen species such as superoxide and hydroxyl radicals have been implicated in the pathogenic growth of various cell types. The molecular mechanisms involved in redox-sensitive cell growth control are poorly understood. Stimulation of cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) with xanthin/xanthin oxidase (X/XO) increases proliferation, whereas stimulation with hydrogen peroxide and...

Hyperlipemia and oxidation of LDL induce vascular smooth muscle cell growth: an effect mediated by the HLH factor Id3.

Hyperlipemia and oxidized LDL (ox-LDL) are important independent cardiovascular risk factors. Ox-LDL has been shown to stimulate vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation. However, the effects of hyperlipemia and the molecular mechanisms mediating hyperlipemia and ox-LDL effects on VSMC growth are poorly understood. The helix-loop-helix (HLH) transcription factor, Id3, is a redox-sensiti...

Involvement of redox-sensitive extracellular-regulated kinases in angiotensin II-induced interleukin-6 expression in pancreatic acinar cells.

Angiotensin II has been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP). The present investigation aimed at elucidating redox-sensitive mechanistic pathway involved in proinflammatory actions of angiotensin II during an episode of AP; in particular, the regulation of expression of cytokine interleukin (IL)-6. Exogenous angiotensin II induced IL-6 expression, activation of ex...

Endothelial Vasodilator Angiotensin Receptors are Changing in Mice with Ageing

Background: The vascular function of Angiotensin II-type-2 receptors in adults is controversial. We sought their location and function in mouse aortic rings at young and old mice. Materials and Methods: Male C57Bl mice (aged 4 and 14 months) were killed by CO2. The descending thoracic aorta was cleaned and dissected into rings. Aortic rings were mounted in Krebs’ solution at 37 °C an...

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α contributes to the profibrotic action of angiotensin II in renal medullary interstitial cells.

To examine whether hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α mediates the profibrotic effects of angiotensin II, we treated cultured renal medullary interstitial cells with angiotensin II and found that it increased HIF-1α levels. This was accompanied by a significant upregulation of collagen I/III, the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, elevation of the proliferation marker proliferating cell nu...
