          Abstract

          Background: Oxidative stress and adipocytokines are reported to contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Though the inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system is known to have beneficial effects on atherosclerosis, the exact mechanisms for this remain to be clarified. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) on the oxidative stress and adipocytokines in peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods: Candesartan (8 mg/day), an ARB, was administered for 3 months to 8 nondiabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis. Plasma levels of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) and adiponectin were measured before and 3 months after candesartan administration, and 3 months after discontinuation. Results: Plasma AOPP level decreased from 377.5 to 305.6 µmol/l (p < 0.05) following the administration of candesartan and returned to 394.6 µmol/l (p < 0.05) by 3 months after the discontinuation of the drug. Plasma adiponectin level increased from 12.5 to 18.8 µg/ml (p < 0.05) by candesartan and decreased again to 14.4 µg/ml (p < 0.05) after discontinuation. There was a significant inverse relationship between changes in plasma level of adiponectin and AOPP (r = – 0.888, p < 0.01). Conclusion: Candesartan increases plasma adiponectin level in association with the reduction of oxidative stress in peritoneal dialysis patients. Candesartan may be useful in preventing atherosclerosis in peritoneal dialysis patients.

          Adiponectin reduces atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice.

          Dysregulation of adipocyte-derived bioactive molecules plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. We previously reported that adiponectin, an adipocyte-specific plasma protein, accumulated in the injured artery from the plasma and suppressed endothelial inflammatory response and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, as well as macrophage-to-foam cell transformation in vitro. The current study investigated whether the increased plasma adiponectin could actually reduce atherosclerosis in vivo. Apolipoprotein E-deficient mice were treated with recombinant adenovirus expressing human adiponectin (Ad-APN) or beta-galactosidase (Ad-betagal). The plasma adiponectin levels in Ad-APN-treated mice increased 48 times as much as those in Ad-betagal treated mice. On the 14th day after injection, the lesion formation in aortic sinus was inhibited in Ad-APN-treated mice by 30% compared with Ad-betagal-treated mice (P<0.05). In the lesions of Ad-APN-treated mice, the lipid droplets became smaller compared with Ad-betagal-treated mice (P<0.01). Immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated that the adenovirus-mediated adiponectin migrate to foam cells in the fatty streak lesions. The real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction revealed that Ad-APN treatment significantly suppressed the mRNA levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 by 29% and class A scavenger receptor by 34%, and tended to reduce levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha without affecting those of CD36 in the aortic tissue. These findings documented for the first time that elevated plasma adiponectin suppresses the development of atherosclerosis in vivo.

            Reciprocal association of C-reactive protein with adiponectin in blood stream and adipose tissue.

            High-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is a well-known risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Recently, we have demonstrated that adiponectin served as an antiatherogenic plasma protein which was secreted specifically from adipocytes. The present study investigated the association between adiponectin and CRP in the blood stream and adipose tissue. We studied a total of 101 male patients, 71 of whom had angiographically documented coronary atherosclerosis. As a control group, 30 patients with normal coronary angiogram were included. The plasma hs-CRP levels were negatively correlated with the plasma adiponectin levels (r=-0.29, P<0.01). The plasma adiponectin concentrations were significantly lower and the hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in the CAD patients compared with control subjects. The mRNA levels of CRP and adiponectin were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction method. We found that the CRP mRNA was expressed in human adipose tissue. A significant inverse correlation was observed between the CRP and adiponectin mRNA levels in human adipose tissue (r=-0.89, P<0.01). In addition, the CRP mRNA level of white adipose tissue in adiponectin deficient mice was higher than that of wild-type mice. The reciprocal association of adiponectin and CRP levels in both human plasma and adipose tissue might participate in the development of atherosclerosis.
