Description
Summary:Angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) stimulates vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) hypertrophy as a critical event in the development of vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis. Sirtuin (SIRT) 1, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dependent deacetylase, has been demonstrated to exert protective effects in atherosclerosis by promoting endothelium-dependent vascular relaxation and reducing macrophage foam cell formation, but its role in VSMC hypertrophy remains unknown. In this study, we tried to investigate the effect of SIRT1 on Ang Ⅱ-induced VSMC hypertrophy. Results showed that adenoviral-mediated over-expression of SIRT1 significantly inhibited Ang Ⅱ- induced VSMC hypertrophy, while knockdown of SIRT1 by RNAi resulted in an increased [^3H]-leucine incorporation of VSMC. Accordingly, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 1 (Noxl) expression induced by Ang Ⅱ was inhibited by SIRT1 in VSMCs. SIRT1 activator resveratrol decreased, whereas endogenous SIRT1 inhibitor nicotinamide increased Noxl expression in A7r5 VSMCs. Furthermore, transcription factor GATA-6 was involved in the down-regulation of Noxl expression by SIRT1. These results provide new insight into SIRTI's anti-atherogenic properties by suppressing Ang Ⅱ-induced VSMC hypertrophy.
