          Abstract

          Aim

          The progression of atherosclerosis can lead to the occurrence of multiple cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease, etc.). E prostanoid receptor‐3 (EP3) is known to participate in the progression of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which EP3 modulates the development of atherosclerosis.

          Methods and results

          ApoE −/− mice were used to construct in vivo model of atherosclerosis. Human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) were stimulated with oxidized low‐density lipoprotein (ox‐LDL) to construct in vitro model of atherosclerosis. mRNA expressions were assessed by qRT‐PCR, and western blot was applied to assess the protein levels. CCK‐8 assay was applied to assess the cell viability. The inflammatory cytokines levels were assessed by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay, and flow cytometry was applied to assess cell apoptosis. In vivo experiment was constructed to investigate the impact of EP3 in atherosclerosis development. L‐798106 (EP3 inhibitor) significantly inhibited the levels of pro‐inflammatory cytokines in atherosclerosis in vivo. EP3 inhibitor (L‐798106) significantly reversed ox‐LDL‐caused HASMCs injury via inhibiting the apoptosis and inflammatory responses ( P < 0.05). The levels of interleukin‐17 (IL‐17) and intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1) in HASMCs were elevated by ox‐LDL, whereas L‐798106 or knockdown of cyclic AMP (cAMP) response element‐binding protein (CREB) notably restored this phenomenon ( P < 0.05). EP3 overexpression further aggravated ox‐LDL‐induced inflammation in HASMCs, and EP3 up‐regulated the levels of IL‐17 and ICAM‐1 in ox‐LDL‐treated HASMCs ( P < 0.05). EP3 up‐regulation promoted the inflammatory responses in ox‐LDL‐treated HASMCs through mediation of cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA)/CREB/IL‐17/ICAM‐1 axis ( P < 0.05).

          Conclusions

          EP3 inhibitor alleviates ox‐LDL‐induced HASMC inflammation via mediation of cAMP/PKA/CREB/IL‐17/ICAM‐1 axis. Our study might shed new lights on discovering novel strategies against atherosclerosis.

          Proinflammatory activation pattern of human umbilical vein endothelial cells induced by IL-1β, TNF-α, and LPS.

          Endothelial cells play a critical role in inflammation by responding to several endogenous and exogenous proinflammatory stimuli. The three most studied factors that provide inflammatory signals to endothelial cells are lipopolysaccharide (LPS), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interleukin (IL)-1β; however, their effects on endothelial cells were thoroughly compared at the level of gene expression only. Therefore, our aim was to assess the differences in the signaling pathways, adhesion molecules, and cytokines induced by proinflammatory factors in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). In this study, we demonstrated that signaling of LPS was less effective than that of IL-1β, and was significantly slower than that ofTNF-α and IL-1β, which can be partially explained by the special localization of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). We showed that TLR4 is mainly localized in Golgi apparatus in HUVEC. The proinflammatory capacity of TNF-α was similar to that of IL-1β in inducing NF-κB nuclear translocation, while IL-1β was the strongest activator of MAPK pathways. Moreover, expression of E-selectin, IL-6, and IL-8 was induced most efficiently by IL-1β, while LPS and TNF-α had less effect, whereas we did not find such a difference in ICAM-1 and MCP-1 expression. Due to the higher induction of E-selectin and IL-8, IL-1β might have more important role in neutrophil recruitment than LPS and TNF-α. By above-mentioned parameters we identified a signaling and expression pattern for the three proinflammatory molecules. This pattern illustrates how complex a proinflammatory process can be, and may enable us to predict and compare the pathomechanism of various inflammatory diseases.

              GLP-1 improves the neuronal supportive ability of astrocytes in Alzheimer's disease by regulating mitochondrial dysfunction via the cAMP/PKA pathway.

              The glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) was shown to have neuroprotective effects in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Astrocytic mitochondrial abnormalities have been revealed to constitute important pathologies. In the present study, we investigated the role of astrocytic mitochondria in the neuroprotective effect of GLP-1 in AD. To this end, 6-month-old 5 × FAD mice were subcutaneously treated with liraglutide, a GLP-1 analogue (25 nmol/kg/qd) for 8 weeks. Liraglutide ameliorated mitochondrial dysfunction and prevented neuronal loss with activation of the cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP)/phosphorylate protein kinase A (PKA) pathway in the brain of 5 × FAD mice. Next, we exposed astrocytes to β-amyloid (Aβ) in vitro and treated them with GLP-1. By activating the cAMP/PKA pathway, GLP-1 increased the phosphorylation of DRP-1 at the s637 site and mitigated mitochondrial fragmentation in Aβ-treated astrocytes. GLP-1 further improved the Aβ-induced energy failure, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) collapse, and cell toxicity in astrocytes. Moreover, GLP-1 also promoted the neuronal supportive ability of Aβ-treated astrocytes via the cAMP/PKA pathway. This study revealed a new mechanism behind the neuroprotective effect of GLP-1 in AD.
