Abstract
Transcription factors (TFs) constitute an essential component of epigenetic regulation. They contribute to the progression of vascular diseases by regulating epigenetic gene expression in several vascular diseases. Recently, numerous regulatory mechanisms related to vascular pathology, ranging from general TFs that are continuously activated to histiocyte-specific TFs that are activated under specific circumstances, have been studied. TFs participate in the progression of vascular-related diseases by epigenetically regulating vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). The Krüppel-like family (KLF) TF family is widely recognized as the foremost regulator of vascular diseases. KLF11 prevents aneurysm progression by inhibiting the apoptosis of VSMCs and enhancing their contractile function. The presence of KLF4, another crucial member, suppresses the progression of atherosclerosis (AS) and pulmonary hypertension by attenuating the formation of VSMCs-derived foam cells, ameliorating endothelial dysfunction, and inducing vasodilatory effects. However, the mechanism underlying the regulation of the progression of vascular-related diseases by TFs has remained elusive. The present study categorized the TFs involved in vascular diseases and their regulatory mechanisms to shed light on the potential pathogenesis of vascular diseases, and provide novel insights into their diagnosis and treatment.

Smooth muscle α-actin missense variant promotes atherosclerosis through modulation of intracellular cholesterol in smooth muscle cells. Eur Heart J 2023:ehad373. [PMID: 37377039 PMCID: PMC10393072 DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehad373] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS The variant p.Arg149Cys in ACTA2, which encodes smooth muscle cell (SMC)-specific α-actin, predisposes to thoracic aortic disease and early onset coronary artery disease in individuals without cardiovascular risk factors. This study investigated how this variant drives increased atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Apoe-/- mice with and without the variant were fed a high-fat diet for 12 weeks, followed by evaluation of atherosclerotic plaque formation and single-cell transcriptomics analysis. SMCs explanted from Acta2R149C/+ and wildtype (WT) ascending aortas were used to investigate atherosclerosis-associated SMC phenotypic modulation. Hyperlipidemic Acta2R149C/+Apoe-/- mice have a 2.5-fold increase in atherosclerotic plaque burden compared to Apoe-/- mice with no differences in serum lipid levels. At the cellular level, misfolding of the R149C α-actin activates heat shock factor 1, which increases endogenous cholesterol biosynthesis and intracellular cholesterol levels through increased HMG-CoA reductase (HMG-CoAR) expression and activity. The increased cellular cholesterol in Acta2R149C/+ SMCs induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and activates PERK-ATF4-KLF4 signaling to drive atherosclerosis-associated phenotypic modulation in the absence of exogenous cholesterol, while WT cells require higher levels of exogenous cholesterol to drive phenotypic modulation. Treatment with the HMG-CoAR inhibitor pravastatin successfully reverses the increased atherosclerotic plaque burden in Acta2R149C/+Apoe-/- mice. CONCLUSION These data establish a novel mechanism by which a pathogenic missense variant in a smooth muscle-specific contractile protein predisposes to atherosclerosis in individuals without hypercholesterolemia or other risk factors. The results emphasize the role of increased intracellular cholesterol levels in driving SMC phenotypic modulation and atherosclerotic plaque burden.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Hypercholesterolemia has been both clinically and experimentally linked to cardiovascular disease and is involved in the initiation of atherosclerosis. Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is involved in the control of atherosclerosis. HSF1 is a critical transcriptional factor of the proteotoxic stress response that regulates the production of heat shock proteins (HSPs) and other important activities such as lipid metabolism. Recently, HSF1 is reported to directly interact with and inhibit AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) to promote lipogenesis and cholesterol synthesis. This review highlights roles of HSF1 and HSPs in critical metabolic pathways of atherosclerosis, including lipogenesis and proteome homeostasis.

Abstract
Cells sense stress and initiate response pathways to maintain lipid and protein homeostasis. However, the interplay between these adaptive mechanisms is unclear. Herein, we demonstrate how imbalances in cytosolic protein homeostasis affect intracellular lipid surveillance. Independent of its ancient thermo-protective properties, the heat shock factor, HSF-1, modulates lipid metabolism and age regulation through the metazoan-specific nuclear hormone receptor, NHR-49. Reduced hsf-1 expression destabilizes the Caenorhabditis elegans enteric actin network, subsequently disrupting Rab GTPase-mediated trafficking and cell-surface residency of nutrient transporters. The ensuing malabsorption limits lipid availability, thereby activating the intracellular lipid surveillance response through vesicular release and nuclear translocation of NHR-49 to both increase nutrient absorption and restore lipid homeostasis. Overall, cooperation between these regulators of cytosolic protein homeostasis and lipid surveillance ensures metabolic health and age progression through actin integrity, endocytic recycling, and lipid sensing.

Integrated pyroptosis measurement and metabolomics to elucidate the effect and mechanism of tangzhiqing on atherosclerosis. Front Physiol 2022; 13:937737. [PMID: 36171973 PMCID: PMC9512057 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.937737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Tangzhiqing formula (TZQ) is a traditional Chinese medicine prescribed to treat glucose and lipid metabolism disorders. A significant effect of TZQ on diabetes and hyperlipidemia has been demonstrated, but its effect on atherosclerosis (AS) remains unknown. This study combines pyroptosis with metabolomics to elucidate the effect and mechanism of TZQ on AS. A model of AS was developed using ApoE−/− mice fed a high-fat diet for 8 weeks. After 6 weeks of atorvastatin (Ator) or TZQ treatment, aortic lumen diameter, aortic lesion size, serum lipid profile, cytokines, and Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis were analyzed. Serum metabolomics profiles were obtained to examine the effect of TZQ on AS and the correlation between pyroptosis and metabolites was further analyzed. As a result, TZQ significantly reduced the diameter of the common carotid artery during diastole and the blood flow velocity in the aorta during systole; reduced blood lipid levels, arterial vascular plaques, and the release of inflammatory cytokines; and inhibited the NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis. According to metabolomics profiling, TZQ is engaged in the treatment of AS via altering arachidonic acid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, steroid hormone production, and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis. The cytochrome P450 enzyme family and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) are two major metabolic enzymes associated with pyroptosis.

Abstract
In this study, fluorene (FL), FL-1-carboxylic acid (FC-1), and FL-9-carboxylic acid (FC-9) were investigated to understand their acute toxicity by measuring inhibitory effects on hatching rates and developmental processes of zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio). For exposure concentrations up to 3000 μg/L, FC-1 alone showed acute toxicity at 1458 μg/L for LC50 value. FC-1 caused yolk sac and spinal deformities, and pericardial edema. Molecular studies were undertaken to understand FC-1 toxicity examining 61 genes after exposure to 5 μM (equivalent to LC20 value of FC-1) in embryos. In the FC-1-treated embryos, the expression of the cyp7a1 gene, involved in bile acid biosynthesis, was dramatically decreased, while the expression of the Il-1β gene involved in inflammation was remarkably increased. In addition to these findings, in FC-1-treated embryos, the expression of nppa gene related to the differentiation of the myocardium was 3-fold increased. On the other hand, cyp1a, cyp3a, ugt1a1, abcc4, mdr1, and sult1st1 responsible for detoxification of xenobiotics were upregulated in FC-9-treated embryos. Taken together, carboxylation on carbon 1 of FL increased acute toxicity in zebrafish embryos, and its toxicity might be related to morphological changes with modification of normal biological functions and lowered defense ability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Recent emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis strains seriously threatens tuberculosis control and prevention. However, the role of macrophage multidrug resistance gene MDR1 on intracellular M. tuberculosis survival during antituberculosis drug treatment is not known. METHODS We used the human monocyte-derived macrophages to study the role of M. tuberculosis in regulation of MDR1 and drug resistance. RESULTS We discovered that M. tuberculosis infection increases the expression of macrophage MDR1 to extrude various chemical substances, including tuberculosis drugs, resulting in enhanced survival of intracellular M. tuberculosis. The pathway of regulation involves M. tuberculosis infection of macrophages and suppression of heat shock factor 1, a transcriptional regulator of MDR1 through the up-regulation of miR-431. Notably, nonpathogenic Mycobacterium smegmatis did not increase MDR1 expression, indicating active secretion of virulence factors in pathogenic M. tuberculosis contributing to this phenotype. Finally, inhibition of MDR1 improves antibiotic-mediated killing of M. tuberculosis. CONCLUSION We report a novel finding that M. tuberculosis up-regulates MDR1 during infection, which limits the exposure of M. tuberculosis to sublethal concentrations of antimicrobials. This condition promotes M. tuberculosis survival and potentially enhances the emergence of resistant variants.

Abstract
RATIONALE Dysregulated purinergic signaling transduction plays important roles in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. However, the role and mechanism of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC)-released ATP in the regulation of blood pressure, and the pathogenesis of hypertension remain unknown. FAM3A (family with sequence similarity 3 member A) is a new mitochondrial protein that enhances ATP production and release. High expression of FAM3A in VSMC suggests it may play a role in regulating vascular constriction and blood pressure. OBJECTIVE To determine the role and mechanism of FAM3A-ATP signaling pathway in VSMCs in the regulation of blood pressure and the pathogenesis of hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS In the media layer of hypertensive rat and mouse arteries, and the internal mammary artery of hypertensive patients, FAM3A expression was increased. VSMC-specific deletion of FAM3A reduced vessel contractility and blood pressure levels in mice. Moreover, deletion of FAM3A in VSMC attenuated Ang II (angiotensin II)-induced vascular constriction and remodeling, hypertension, and cardiac hypertrophy in mice. In cultured VSMCs, Ang II activated HSF1 (heat shock factor 1) to stimulate FAM3A expression, activating ATP-P2 receptor pathway to promote the change of VSMCs from contractile phenotype to proliferative phenotype. In the VSMC layer of spontaneously hypertensive rat arteries, Ang II-induced hypertensive mouse arteries and the internal mammary artery of hypertensive patients, HSF1 expression was increased. Treatment with HSF1 inhibitor reduced artery contractility and ameliorated hypertension of spontaneously hypertensive rats. CONCLUSIONS FAM3A is an important regulator of vascular constriction and blood pressure. Overactivation of HSF1-FAM3A-ATP signaling cascade in VSMCs plays important roles in Ang II-induced hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Inhibitors of HSF1 could be potentially used to treat hypertension.

Abstract
Cytochromes P450s (CYPs) constitute a superfamily of enzymes that catalyze the metabolism of drugs and other substances. Endogenous substrates of CYPs include eicosanoids, estradiol, arachidonic acids, cholesterol, vitamin D and neurotransmitters. Exogenous substrates of CYPs include the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and about 80% of currently used drugs. Some isoforms can activate procarcinogens to ultimate carcinogens. Genetic polymorphisms of CYPs may affect the enzyme catalytic activity and have been reported among different populations to be associated with various diseases and adverse drug reactions. With regard of drug metabolism, phenotypes for CYP polymorphism range from ultrarapid to poor metabolizers. In this review, we discuss some of the most clinically important CYPs isoforms (CYP2D6, CYP2A6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP1B1 and CYP1A2) with respect to gene polymorphisms and drug metabolism. Moreover, we review the role of CYPs in renal, lung, breast and prostate cancers and also discuss their significance for atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
