Lepailleur-Enouf, Delphine, Olivier Valdenaire, Monique Philippe, Martine Jandrot-Perrus, and JeanBaptiste Michel. Thrombin induces endothelin expression in arterial smooth muscle cells. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 278: H1606–H1612, 2000.—Thrombin has been shown to stimulate endothelin release by endothelial cells, but the ability of thrombin to induce endothelin in nonendothelial cells is less well-known. Incubation of rat aortic smooth muscle cells with thrombin resulted in a stimulation of preproendothelin-1 (preproET-1) mRNA expression. This induction of preproET-1 mRNA expression by thrombin was accompanied by the release of immunoreactive peptide ET-1 into the extracellular medium. The synthetic thrombin receptor activator peptide (TRAP) confirmed ligand-specific receptor action to induce preproET-1 mRNA. Nuclear run-on analysis revealed that the transcriptional rate of preproET-1 mRNA increases twofold after 1 h of incubation with thrombin. In cells treated with thrombin, the half-life of preproET-1 mRNA was identical to that in untreated control cells. These results demonstrated that thrombin regulates endothelin synthesis at a transcriptional level but does not influence mRNA stability. Inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) with selective inhibitors (chelerythrine and bisindolylmaleimide I) before thrombin stimulation failed to significantly inhibit preproET-1 gene expression. Inhibition of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase and protein tyrosine kinase decreased preproET-1 mRNA expression in thrombin-stimulated smooth muscle cells. Furthermore, addition of an activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors-a (PPARa), fenofibrate, prevented the preproET-1 gene induction in response to thrombin. These results demonstrated that thrombin-induced endothelin gene transcription involved MAP kinase kinase rather than the PKC cascade in smooth muscle cells, which was repressed by PPARa stimulation.
