摘要
Decorin is a member of the family of small leucine-rich proteoglycans that are present in blood vessels and synthesized by arterial smooth muscle cells (ASMCs). This proteoglycan accumulates in topographically defined regions of atherosclerotic lesions and may play a role in the development of this disease. However, little is known about whether decorin has specific effects on the cellular events that contribute to atherosclerotic lesion formation. In the present study, rat ASMCs were transduced with a retroviral vector (LDSN) that carries the bovine decorin gene. Compared with vector control cells (LXSN), these cells constitutively overexpress decorin, as verified by Northern and Western analysis and by metabolic labeling. Experiments were performed to examine the responsiveness of decorin-overexpressing rat ASMCs to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), 2 growth factors that affect cell proliferation and extracellular matrix production in atherosclerosis. Decorin-overexpressing cells had decreased [H-3]thymidine incorporation into DNA and increased the levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21 and p27 in the first 24 hours of response to serum and PDGF-BB. However, these effects of decorin were not apparent at 48 or 72 hours after plating and did not result in reduced growth of decorin-overexpressing cells in response to serum and PDGF-BB. In contrast, the growth response of decorin overexpressing ASMCs to TGF-beta1, as well as the expression of TGF-beta1-responsive genes, such as plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and versican (an extracellular matrix proteoglycan). was diminished. These results indicate that decorin selectively inhibits the responsiveness of rat ASMCs to TGF-beta1 and suggests that the induction of constitutive decorin overexpression by ASMCs in vivo may have therapeutic value in the inhibition of TGF-beta1-mediated effects on the development of atherosclerotic lesions.
