项目摘要

Summary/Abstract Aberration of vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypes cause structural defects and impaired mechanical properties of artery wall, leading to artery stiffness, which correlates with high blood pressure and is an independent risk factor for the resistant hypertension. It is well-known that arterial wall stiffens with aging. In addition to hypertension, vascular aging is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery disease, stroke and heart failure. However, the factors and mechanisms that control vascular aging, especially SMC aging and artery stiffness, remain largely unknown. Our exciting preliminary data demonstrate that Smad2 plays a critical role in maintaining SMC and vascular homeostasis and blood pressure. SMC-tissue specific deficiency of Smad2 (Smad2sm-/-) in mice causes alterations in elastin and collagen content and structure in the vessel wall, resulting in decreased artery distensibility, increased pulse pressure (indicator of artery stiffness), and increased mean artery pressure. The vascular wall remodeling/stiffness in Smad2 SMC- deficient mice appears to be caused by a premature SMC aging with an elevation in p53 level. In fact, the increase in p53 level along with the decrease in Smad2 expression in artery SMC correlates with the aging in mouse and human. Importantly, the correlation of decreased Smad2 with increased p53 is also closely associated with the onset of hypertension in human. These data strongly support a novel hypothesis that Smad2 maintains vascular homeostasis and blood pressure by inhibiting p53 expression and/or activity in SMC. Using primary culture of SMCs, in vivo Smad2 and p53 SMC-specific knockout mouse models combining with molecular, cellular, histological, and pharmacological approaches, we will 1) test if Smad2 is essential for maintaining the vascular wall elasticity and blood pressure homeostasis; 2) elucidate the mechanism by which Smad2 regulates SMC homeostasis through inhibiting p53 expression/activity; and 3) determine if blockade of p53 attenuates Smad2 deficiency-caused artery stiffness and hypertension. Successful completion of the proposed study will establish a novel mechanism regulating SMC aging and blood pressure homeostasis. It will also allow us to identify potential novel approaches that may be used to develop effective therapeutics for treating aging or artery stiffness-related hypertension.

摘要/摘要血管平滑肌细胞 (SMC) 表型的畸变会导致结构缺陷和机械损伤动脉壁的特性，导致动脉僵硬，这与高血压相关，是一种难治性高血压的独立危险因素。众所周知，动脉壁会随着年龄的增长而变硬。在除高血压外，血管老化是心血管疾病的独立危险因素，包括冠状动脉疾病、中风和心力衰竭。然而，控制血管的因素和机制衰老，尤其是 SMC 衰老和动脉僵硬，在很大程度上仍然未知。我们令人兴奋的初步数据证明 Smad2 在维持 SMC 和血管稳态以及血压方面发挥着关键作用。小鼠 SMC 组织特异性 Smad2 缺陷 (Smad2sm-/-) 会导致弹性蛋白和胶原蛋白含量发生变化和血管壁结构，导致动脉扩张性下降，脉压增加（指标动脉僵硬度），并增加平均动脉压。 Smad2 SMC 中的血管壁重塑/硬度- 缺陷小鼠似乎是由 SMC 过早衰老和 p53 水平升高引起的。事实上，动脉 SMC 中 p53 水平的增加以及 Smad2 表达的减少与动脉 SMC 的衰老相关老鼠和人类。重要的是，Smad2 的减少与 p53 的增加也密切相关与人类高血压的发生有关。这些数据有力地支持了一个新的假设： Smad2 通过抑制 SMC 中 p53 的表达和/或活性来维持血管稳态和血压。利用 SMC 的原代培养物，结合体内 Smad2 和 p53 SMC 特异性敲除小鼠模型分子、细胞、组织学和药理学方法，我们将 1) 测试 Smad2 是否对于维持血管壁弹性和血压稳态； 2）阐明其机制 Smad2 通过抑制 p53 表达/活性来调节 SMC 稳态； 3) 确定是否封锁 p53 可减轻 Smad2 缺陷引起的动脉僵硬和高血压。圆满完成了拟议的研究将建立一种调节 SMC 衰老和血压稳态的新机制。它会还使我们能够确定潜在的新方法，可用于开发有效的治疗方法衰老或动脉硬化相关的高血压。
