Perivascular Adipose Tissue

Abstract Background/Purpose Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is essential in the modulation of vascular tone. Recently we have shown that resident eosinophils play a vital role in regulating PVAT function. In obesity, eosinophil numbers are reduced and PVAT anticontractile function is lost, resulting in increased vascular tone, which will contribute to development of hypertension and type-2 diabetes. Evidence suggests that eosinophilia resulting from parasitic infection may be useful in improving glucose tolerance; therefore, we investigated the effects of eosinophilia on PVAT function in health and obesity. Methods Control mice and a high fat fed mouse model of obesity were administered intraperitoneal injections of interleukin-33 (IL-33, 0.1μg) over a five day period. Blood pressure, blood glucose and plasma insulin were measured and compared with un-injected control and obese mice. Wire myography was used to assess the vascular contractility of mesenteric arteries (<250μm, +/− PVAT) from both injected and un-injected control and obese mice in response to noradrenaline. ELISAs and immunohistochemistry were used to examine eosinophil numbers. Results High fat feeding induced significant elevations in blood pressure, blood glucose and plasma insulin, which were reduced using IL-33 injections. Eosinophilia was confirmed in blood plasma using an eosinophil cationic protein ELISA. Using wire myography, mesenteric arteries from control mice PVAT exerted an anticontractile effect on the vessels, which was enhanced in control mice injected with IL-33. In obese mice, the PVAT anticontractile effect was lost, but was restored in IL-33 injected obese mice. Using immunohistochemistry, we confirm that eosinophils numbers in PVAT were reduced in obesity and increased in IL-33 treated PVAT. Conclusions IL-33 injections induced eosinophilia in both control and obese mice. IL-33 treatment restored PVAT function in obesity, and enhanced the anticontractile function of PVAT in healthy animals. In addition, only five consecutive injections of IL-33 reversed development of hypertension and type-2 diabetes in obese mice. These data suggest that IL-33 induced eosinophilia presents a novel approach to treatment of hypertension and type-2 diabetes in obesity. Acknowledgement/Funding British Heart Foundation

Lipophilic Statin

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is synthesized from l-cysteine by cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) or cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), and is enzymatically metabolized in mitochondria by sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQR). Recent studies have indicated that H2S is synthesized by CSE in perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), and is responsible for the anticontractile effect of PVAT on adjacent vessels. The lipophilic statin atorvastatin increases PVAT-derived H2S by suppressing its mitochondrial oxidation; the effect that results from statin-induced depletion of ubiquinone. Experimental obesity induced by a highly palatable diet has a time-dependent effect on H2S in PVAT. Adipose tissue hypoxia suppresses H2S oxidation and increases its level in short-term obesity not associated with insulin resistance. In contrast, in long-term obesity, insulin resistance and (or) hyperinsulinemia result in the down-regulation of CSE and H2S deficiency, which is corrected by treatment with the insulin sensitizer rosiglitazone. In addition, cannabinoid CB1 receptor agonist administered for 2 weeks increases H2S by impairing mitochondria biogenesis. This indicates that the rate of mitochondrial H2S oxidation plays an important role in the regulation of H2S level in PVAT. Up-regulation of H2S signaling in short-term obesity and (or) by elevated endocannabinoids may be a compensatory mechanism that maintains vascular tone, despite endothelial dysfunction.

Aging is an independent risk factor for hypertension, cardiovascular morbidity, and mortality. However, detailed mechanisms linking aging to cardiovascular disease are unclear. We studied the aging effects on the role of perivascular adipose tissue and downstream vasoconstriction targets, voltage-dependent KV7 channels, and their pharmacological modulators (flupirtine, retigabine, QO58, and QO58-lysine) in a murine model. We assessed vascular function of young and old mesenteric arteries in vitro using wire myography and membrane potential measurements with sharp electrodes. We also performed bulk RNA sequencing and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction tests in mesenteric arteries and perivascular adipose tissue to elucidate molecular underpinnings of age-related phenotypes. Results revealed impaired perivascular adipose tissue-mediated control of vascular tone particularly via KV7.3–5 channels with increased age through metabolic and inflammatory processes and release of perivascular adipose tissue-derived relaxation factors. Moreover, QO58 was identified as novel pharmacological vasodilator to activate XE991-sensitive KCNQ channels in old mesenteric arteries. Our data suggest that targeting inflammation and metabolism in perivascular adipose tissue could represent novel approaches to restore vascular function during aging. Furthermore, KV7.3–5 channels represent a promising target in cardiovascular aging.

Objective— The function of perivascular adipose tissue as an anticontractile mediator in the microvasculature is lost during obesity. Obesity results in inflammation and recruitment of proinflammatory macrophages to the perivascular adipose tissue that is paralleled by depletion of the vasorelaxant signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) in the vessel. The current objective was to assess the role of macrophages in determining vascular [H 2 S] and defining how this impinged on vasodilation. Approach and Results— Contractility and [H 2 S] were measured in mesenteric resistance arterioles from lean and obese mice by using pressure myography and confocal microscopy, respectively. Vasodilation was impaired and smooth muscle and endothelial [H 2 S] decreased in vessels from obese mice compared with those from lean controls. Coculturing vessels from lean mice with macrophages from obese mice, or macrophage-conditioned media, recapitulated obese phenotypes in vessels. These effects were mediated by low molecular weight species and dependent on macrophage inducible nitric oxide synthase activity. Conclusions— The inducible nitric oxide synthase activity of perivascular adipose tissue–resident proinflammatory macrophages promotes microvascular endothelial dysfunction by reducing the bioavailability of H 2 S in the vessel. These findings support a model in which vascular H 2 S depletion underpins the loss of perivascular adipose tissue anticontractile function in obesity.

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) has recently entered in the realm of cardiovascular diseases as a putative target for intervention. Notwithstanding its relevance, there is still a long way before the role of PVAT in physiology and pathology is fully understood. The general idea that PVAT anti-contractile effect is beneficial and its pro-contractile effect is harmful is being questioned by several reports. The role of some PVAT important products or systems such as nitric oxide (NO), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and RAS may vary depending on the context, disease, place of production, etc., which adds doubts on how mediators of PVAT anti- and pro-contractile effects are called to action and their final result. This short review will address some points regarding NO, ROS, and RAS in the beneficial and harmful roles of PVAT.
