Oleic Acid Increases Synthesis and Secretion of VEGF in Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells: Role of Oxidative Stress and Impairment in Obesity

Obesity is characterized by poor collateral vessel formation, a process involving vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) action on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Free fatty acids are involved in the pathogenesis of obesity vascular complications, and we have aimed to clarify whether oleic acid (OA) enhances VEGF synthesis/secretion in VSMC, and whether this effect is impaired in obesity. In cultured aortic VSMC from lean and obese Zucker rats (LZR and OZR, respectively) we measured the influence of OA on VEGF-A synthesis/secretion, signaling molecules and reactive oxygen species (ROS). In VSMC from LZR we found the following: (a) OA increases VEGF-A synthesis/secretion by a mechanism blunted by inhibitors of Akt, mTOR, ERK-1/2, PKC-beta, NADPH-oxidase and mitochondrial electron transport chain complex; (b) OA activates the above mentioned signaling pathways and increases ROS; (c) OA-induced activation of PKC-beta enhances oxidative stress, which activates signaling pathways responsible for the increased VEGF synthesis/secretion. In VSMC from OZR, which present enhanced baseline oxidative stress, the above mentioned actions of OA on VEGF-A, signaling pathways and ROS are impaired: this impairment is reproduced in VSMC from LZR by incubation with hydrogen peroxide. Thus, in OZR chronically elevated oxidative stress causes a resistance to the action on VEGF that OA exerts in LZR by increasing ROS.

Stimulations of strontium-doped calcium polyphosphate for bone tissue engineering to protein secretion and mRNA expression of the angiogenic growth factors from endothelial cells in vitro

The vascularization of tissue-engineered bone is the key problem needed solving before application of tissue-engineered bone in clinical practice. Meanwhile, endothelial cells are the major and important source of seed cells in bone tissue engineering, and significant on promoting vascularization in tissue-engineered bone. Vascularization (namely angiogenesis) is a process mainly controlled by several angiogenic growth factors (VEGF, bFGF and MMP-2) which can be secreted by endothelial cells. Therefore, the research on the stimulations of SCPP to the secretion of the angiogenic growth factors from endothelial cells is very important. This study was performed to determine the ability of strontium-doped calcium polyphosphate (SCPP) to induce angiogenesis by detecting the protein secretion levels and mRNA expression of VEGF, bFGF and MMP-2 from cultured endothelial cells. As a control, we also researched the effect of HA on the mRNA expressions and protein secretion of angiogenic growth factors from cultured endothelial cells. We cultured endothelial cells with SCPP scaffolds containing various concentration of strontium and HA. The results obtained in the MTT and SEM tests indicated that endothelial cells on SCPP scaffold exhibited higher proliferation rate and were easy to get a good spread than them on CPP, the best state of growth and proliferation of cells could be observed on 8%SCPP. The results of ELISA demonstrated that the protein levels of VEGF, bFGF and MMP-2 from cultured endothelial cells increased with the increasing Sr doped in calcium polyphosphate in SCPP groups, the peaks appeared on 8%SCPP. All SCPP groups showed a better ability to stimulate the protein secretion of VEGF, bFGF and MMP-2 from endothelial cells relative to CPP group and HA group. The results of RT-PCR suggested that the 8%SCPP group exhibited a significantly higher mRNA expression of VEGF, bFGF and MMP-2 relative to CPP group and HA group. In conclusion, the results of this study demonstrated that 8%SCPP had obvious promotion for secretion and mRNA expression of angiogenic growth factors from cultured endothelial cells.
