- Abstract
- Background: Cysteine-rich angiogenic protein 61 (CYR61) was reported to be induced by angiotensin II in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and it is a key regulatory molecule in ectopic mineralization of osteogenic transdifferentiated VSMCs. But, exact molecular mechanism of CYR61-induced mineralization is unclear, so we explored downstream effector molecule of CYR61.
Methods and Results: VSMCs harvested from thoracic aortas of male C57BL6 mice were transfected with adenoviral vector containing Cyr61 (Ad-CYR61), and then microarray analysis was performed to evaluate the effects of CYR61 on VSMC mineralization. Several matrix metalloproteinases such as MMP-13, MMP-3 and MMP-10 were immediately increased by 7.9, 6.5, and 2.0-folds after 24 hours of transfection. However, tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases such as TIMP-3 and TIMP-2 were reduced by 52% and 71%, respectively (all p<0.05). Real-time PCR confirmed MMP-13 gene induction by 33±13 folds compared to control adenovirus-transfected VSMCs (p<0.05). Although mRNA expression of MMP-9 was not found to be increased, gelatin zymography showed an augmented enzymatic activity of MMP-9 by Ad-CYR61 transfection, which was significantly decreased by siRNA for MMP-13. In the light microscopic analysis with Von Kossa staining or electron microscopic examinations, dominant negative adenoviral vector for c-Jun and broad spectrum MMP inhibitor doxycycline can minimize or attenuate CYR61-medated ECM disruption or ectopic mineralization.
Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that CYR61-mediated MMP activation is important to induce vascular calcification in the milieu of systemic inflammation. Therapies targeting to CYR61 or MMPs may modulate vascular calcification and could have clinical implications.
