Pparγ Gene

Background/Aims: salusin-ß is considered to be a potential pro-atherosclerotic factor. Regulation and function of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are important in the progression of atherosclerosis. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) exerts a vascular protective role beyond its metabolic effects. Salusin-ß has direct effects on VSMCs. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of salusin-ß on PPARγ gene expression in primary cultured rat VSMCs. Methods: Western blotting analysis, real-time PCR and transient transfection approach were used to determine expression of target proteins. Specific protein knockdown was performed with siRNA transfection. Cell proliferation was determined by 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine incorporation. The levels of inflammation indicators interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: Salusin-ß negatively regulated PPARγ gene expression at protein, mRNA and gene promoter level in VSMCs. The inhibitory effect of salusin-ß on PPARγ gene expression contributed to salusin-ß-induced VSMCs proliferation and inflammation in vitro. IγBa-NF-γB activation, but not NF-γB p50 or p65, mediated the salusin-ß-induced inhibition of PPARγ gene expression. Salusin-ß induced nuclear translocation of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3). HDAC3 siRNA prevented salusin-ß-induced PPARγ reduction. Nuclear translocation of HDAC3 in response to salusin-ß was significantly reversed by an IγBa inhibitor BAY 11-7085. Furthermore, IγBa-HDAC3 complex was present in the cytosol of VSMCs but interrupted after salusin-ß treatment. Conclusion: IγBa-HDAC3 pathway may contribute to salusin-ß-induced inhibition of PPARγ gene expression in VSMCs.
